"It is a great mistake to think that only priests and religious and those who have withdrawn from the turmoil of the world are supposed to meditate upon the truths of our Faith and the mysteries of the life of Jesus Christ.
If priests and religious have an obligation to meditate on the great truths of our holy religion in order to live up to their vocation worthily, the same obligation, then, is just as much incumbent upon the laity - because of the fact that every day, they meet with spiritual dangers that might make them lose their souls.
Therefore they should arm themselves with the frequent meditation on the life, virtues, and sufferings of Our Blessed Lord - which are so beautifully contained in the fifteen mysteries of the Holy Rosary."
-St Louis de Montfort, The Secret of the Rosary

The University of Notre Dame Law School hosted for the first time a four-day event to promote the abolition of the death penalty. Its March 24-27 Death Penalty Abolition Week brought to campus nationally known and respected opponents of the death penalty. But key arguments against capital punishment, now a legal option in 27 states, were also immediately made by law school representatives who introduced speakers. "Anyone who has spent any time in any Catholic school must realize that they've spent time face-to-face with the violence, brutality and innate inhumanity of the death penalty," said G. Marcus Cole, Notre Dame Law School dean. "It is clearly depicted on the wall of every Catholic classroom in every Catholic school -- in the form of the crucifix on the wall. Our Lord Jesus Christ was a victim of the death penalty."

Prayer for One’s Own Liberation
Holy Father, omnipotent and merciful God, in the name of Jesus Christ and through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, send Your Holy Spirit upon me; may the Spirit of the Lord descend upon me, mold me, form me, fill me, hear me, use me, heal me, cast out from me all the forces of evil, annihilate them, destroy them, so that I may be well and do good. Cast out from me all the spells, sorcery, black magic, black masses, evil eye, ties, curses, diabolical infestation, diabolical possession, diabolical obsession, all that is evil; sin, envy, jealousy, perfidy, discord, impurity, infatuation; physical, psychic, moral, spiritual, and diabolic illnesses. Burn all of these evils in hell, so that they will never again touch me or any other creature in the world. In the name of Jesus Christ our Savior, through the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, I order and command all unclean spirits, all the presences that molest me, to leave me immediately, to leave me definitely, and, chained by St. Michael the Archangel, by St. Gabriel, by St. Raphael, by my guardian angel, crushed under the heel of the Most Holy Immaculate Virgin, to go into the eternal abyss. Give me, O Father, much faith, joy, health, peace, and all the graces that I need. Lord Jesus, may Your most Precious Blood be upon me. Amen.

Can artists STOP dressing up like religious figures just to be provocative? They are disrespecting all christians and yes, I am referring to Chappell Roan singing dressed up as a nun or Joan of Arc.
Stop it. Nuns and Joan d'Arc aren't your LGBT+ icons. They are religious women the first and a beloved saint the second.

average beginning of an episode of psych:
1989...henry teaches shawn how to dismantle a wind turbine, and that timing is crucial. shawn doesn't understand this. gus is there. he's wearing khakis and tap shoes.
present day...shawn and gus are having frozen yogurt
lassie and jules drive by, sirens blaring. gus says "NO. NO. shawn, i just worked a sixty hour week. i got arthritis in my hand from hauling my case around!" shawn grabs gus's froyo and takes off running after the car. "i know you didn't just take my yogurt!" gus yells, and follows. they somehow arrive at the scene of the crime first
a milfy woman has been stabbed multiple times in her home. she is clinging to life. gus finds her alluring and attractive. she dies in shawn's arms.
"i wonder if she ever heard about pluto..." gus says, near tears.
"oh would you stop!? a woman is dead, gus, have some decorum - oh my god..."
"what? what is it?"
"DUDE...check out that sweet nintendo 64!"
the cops arrive. lassiter sees the blood on shawn's hands. tense music. "YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO SPENCER!"
"lassie, you know we didn't do this! the only weapons we have are our froyo spoons...they're small, and soft, and wooden, and made by tiny baby elves."
dum, dum, da da da dum! in between the lines there's a lot of obscurity. i'm not inclined to resign to maturity. if it's alright, then you're all wrong, but why bounce around to the same damn song? you'd rather run when you can't crawl...I KNOW! YOU KNOW! that i'm not telling the truth. I KNOW! YOU KNOW! they just don't have any proof. embrace the deception, learn how to bend, your worst inhibitions tend to PSYCH you out in the end...
everyone snoops around. shawn discovers that the victim was a professor of physics at ucsb, proof that she was sleeping with her TA, and emails from another physics professor that imply blackmail and that they wanted her job.
gus stares at the computer, captivated. he says "mad scientists, drama, intrigue, secrets...this is blackmail to the future, shawn. what!"
shawn plays with a vase from the mantle. "heh. that sounds like a remake starring a young will smith, with eddie murphy as doc brown...god, he would kill in that role."
"you know that's right."
shawn drops the vase. it shatters. "what was that?" jules calls out.
"dude, let's bail and talk to the ta and the other professor," shawn whispers.
"bet," gus says. they take a candy dish full of hershey's kisses with them.

Prayer request: My dad is battling in hospital
Hi everyone,
I am not active anymore the last few years. So many things have changed in my life, good and bad. I miss the community of tumblr very much.
I was really active on tumblr when I was 19 to 23 years old, but then my life became so complicated that I couldn’t continue this blog. I am keeping it as a reminder of these beautiful years!
I would kindly ask you to pray for my dad that is battling pneumonia in the hospital. Things are crucial right now that’s why I am asking for your prayers. Every time I used to ask for your prayers in the past, everything was fine, the power of prayers is so important.
Please keep my dad Toni in your prayers, please. Every small prayer could make the difference. I am so scared about my dad, even though I am quite old but I think always these situations will be scary.
He is the best man in the world and so young, my daddy, and I love him so much. Please pray that God will give him healing and more time to be around my mom, me and his grandchild.
Thank you, everyone. I hope all of you stay safe! God bless you all!
