Two Roman Catholic priests watch two baskets of draft board records burn on May 17, 1968 after the records were removed from the Cantonsville, Maryland, draft board office by nine persons – five of them priests. Father Philip Berrigan (left) and his brother, Father Daniel Berrigan (right) were arrested along with the seven other participants. Father Philip Berrigan was involved in a demonstration last October in which blood was poured on draft records. Man at extreme left is unidentified.

every year small towns and indigenous communities across canada are burnt to nothing by horrific wildfires and americans go on the internet to complain about it and blame us bc the smoke has spread to their state. i’m so tired.
go yell at mark carney or your own local politicians about climate change and urge them to do more to stop it. the namaygoosisagagun first nation had their community destroyed today. you can find a link to donate to them here. donate to your local food bank. go to the beach next week when the smoke clears and you don’t have to think about it anymore while the people who’s lives have been destroyed will have to pick up the pieces and try to move forward when we are already in a huge cost of living crisis across the country.
rbing with other places you can donate to to support those impacted by the fires!
true north aid (an organization aimed at providing support to remote/northern indigenous people in canada)
canadian red cross wildfire fund
ontario spca and humane society (links to their donate page specifically aimed at supporting pets and animals in areas impacted by the fires)
and the anishinabek nation’s page where you can donate to support the namaygoosisagagun nation who had their land destroyed by the fires is still accepting donations
crazy how i find myself thinking i've got a handle on it all finally and then i see the ways that other people tangle their lives together so easily and live so easily together with their friends and i feel like that girl at the top of the stairs painting by norman rockwell
The Many Faces of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Seat of Wisdom
June 8th is the day that the Catholic Church recognizes the Blessed Virgin Mary as the universe’s 'Seat of Wisdom'. The title’s use has been documented since at least the 11th century, and is currently used in the Litany of Loreto. The title is in reference to her role as a guiding example for humanity on how to live a truly Christlike existence; by describing her as Wisdom’s ‘seat’, the title alludes to a position mothers often take: holding their child proudly on their lap and showing their child’s shining face to the world. Christ is Wisdom in all its forms and phases; He is Wisdom without beginning or end. Through His Incarnation, He became a small and fragile infant, human enough to be cradled upon the seat of His mother's lap. Just as Mary holds her Son close and presents Him to the world, so are we called to hold Wisdom close and show Him to the world. We, too, are called to act as Wisdom's seat, showing to all His commandments, His love, and His mercy.

I need to go out to the desert and be in a cave for a while. I need to go wrestle an angel. I need to confront the devil. I need to name God. I need to be alone. I need to weep my laments over the hills. I need to see if Isaac is still up on the mountain.
