"If you offend or hurt Christ by sinning grievously, as soon as you offer Him a flower of regret or a rose of sincere confession, He immediately forgives your offences, forgives you your sins, and hurries to embrace you and kiss you."

—Saint Anthony of Padua

Help a Family in Need

I am reaching out on behalf of my dear friend, Mohamad S., who is facing one of the most challenging times of his life. Mohamad is 37 years old and left his homeland in 2015 in search of a safer and better future. He’s a kind, hardworking man, and his small family has always been his greatest priority.

Living abroad, Mohamad has recently endured unimaginable loss and financial strain. Amidst the ongoing conflict in his homeland, his mother passed away, leaving behind his sister and her five young children—the last remaining members of his immediate family.

As the situation worsened, Mohamad managed to help his sister and her children escape to safety in Egypt, covering their immediate needs and securing a temporary refuge for them. Since then, he has been fully responsible for providing everything they need to survive during this transition.

In his efforts to support his family and cope with this devastating loss, Mohamad has found himself deeply in debt. To make matters even more difficult, he recently underwent knee surgery, which limits his ability to return to work for the foreseeable future. This has made it even harder for him to manage his financial responsibilities and the pressing need to provide his family with a stable future.

Mohamad is now working to bring his sister and her five children to join him in Belgium, where he hopes they can find stability and opportunity after all they’ve endured. This transition, however, requires significant resources that he is currently unable to meet alone.

For privacy reasons, we are not sharing Mohamad’s full name, as he has chosen to keep his identity discreet. While he initially refused the idea of asking for help, I couldn’t stand by and watch him struggle alone. I insisted on doing this for him because he deserves a chance to overcome these challenges.

Your contribution will help Mohamad repay the debt incurred during this difficult time, cover ongoing living expenses for his family, and assist with the costs involved in bringing them safely to Belgium.

Mohamad has been a good friend of mine for years, and I’ve always admired his resilience and generosity. Any support, no matter the size, will make an incredible difference in helping Mohamad and his family rebuild their lives after these painful experiences.

Thank you for reading his story and considering helping a man who has always done everything he can for his loved ones.

I often think about how Jesus knew he was going to die. We often say how you never know what will be your last morning, your last night of sleep, your last moment of peace. Except Jesus did know, He knew it intimately. He knew His last time eating with those He loved, His last time to hug His mother, His last prayer. How precious were these moments for Him? The last time He had physically been with His creation had been in Eden. Now, wrapped in flesh, He had to give it up again all for the hope that He could again be with us, this time forever. The love of God physically hurts me sometimes. I feel how He misses me, and I dearly miss Him.

A four page comic about something that happened to me in Saudi Arabia last November. Be gay, run from security, don't get caught.

if you’re a Catholic having terrified thoughts about the Pope dying -

we are going to be okay, when he passes. we won’t lose the faith to radtrads and schismatic bishops. we won’t suddenly backpedal and lose all the progress we’ve made. the Church doesn’t function on executive orders that the next nutcase can erase or walk back. there have been dogshit Popes before and we were okay then and if we get another one we will be okay now.

we don’t choose our leaders. we aren’t congregationalist Protestants. God has a direct hand in the process and He will lead us where we need to be. and if some American Catholics want to schism? fucking let them. if need be I’ll switch to a majority-Latine parish and go to Mass in Spanish and we will be okay. we don’t live in a democracy, we serve a King with absolute power, and He will stand for us and speak for us.
