I can’t pick them yet but for some reason, my parish seems to have all its requiems at once then quiet the rest of the year - so I get SO sick of abide with me even though I do love it unironically. But that’s being stricken off my list.
‘I heard the voice of Jesus say’ would be one though.
While extravagant sums are being spent for the furnishing of ever new weapons, an adequate remedy cannot be provided for the multiple miseries afflicting the whole modern world.

Seriously - right wingers are screaming about fertility rates and bringing back teen pregnancy - but this is so cute that it’s making ME (somebody very committed to celibacy) think ohhh but baby? 🥹
Anglocatholics be like
“God, help me learn the love that makes for peace”
God: TRY IT WITH STEROIDS.
Ohh I love that episode and that fact just makes it better
I was literally JUST discussing Silence with somebody and how much I need and miss the practice of it since my time at SSJD! I am so in. (Nvm me posting this at 12:30am 😭)
Pic of antiphons for benedictus and magnificat - my heart burns within me; I desire to behold my Lord : I seek and find not where they have laid him, alleluia alleluia. I did put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, and said My Lord and my God, alleluia.
Today’s antiphons are just my absolute favourites. I think I may meditate on the Benedictus antiphon quite possibly for the rest of Eastertide 🥹❤️
is this sanctification 🦋
It’s your fault obvs
"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." -Pope Leo XIV
let it unfold - cuz wow great news for me if absolution-via-post is an option
Lord give me even 10% of the confidence of a pathetic, charisma-free, soulless politician / opportunistic religious convert trying to mansplain theology to the Pope
OH I was so confused because I also only read “religious community” in terms of “capital” Religious and I’m like did something happen?!?!
He did??? Is that why it’s such a thing in kinda liberal Christian spirituality circles?? I’m not opposed to it necessarily but I’ve always been so utterly bewildered by what it is??

"You know, Mrs. Ambassador, I am a Catholic too."
a powerful reminder of the grotesqueness of man's sinful nature, thank u sonic

I’m just so happy for him 😭
a parishioner’s dog loves coming to church - sure he gets ALL the pets and treats - but he’s more faithful than most census Christians! He’s here at least every Sunday, and he’s mostly napping throughout the Mass but perks up occasionally at the consecration elevations :’)
When the symbol of one’s faith is the instrument of execution and death, one shouldn’t scare easily, for “success” by the world’s measure will never be the point.
Bravo, Papa Leo.
She’s so 孝順 🥹
It's where I got this one that I've gotten a lot of mileage out of lately
imagine arguing with your devout catholic grandma and shouting "the pope is WEAK on crime"
whomst among us hasn't looked at a pope and thought, hmpf, weak on nuclear weapons
