i really think the purpose of Pope Innocent III writing a book on the misery of the human condition was to set a proper foundation for viewing the world that allows one to not only notice Jesus Christ and the Divine Love in other people but rejoice in it more than one would otherwise

if one starts out with a view that humanity is sweet and innocent it leads to consistent disappointment by the grave depravity of the world around them; if one starts out with a view that humanity is fallen and wicked then even the smallest gestures of kindness experienced by others stands out as truly an act accompanied by Divine grace

i know i have not internalized this yet because people continually stun me into a quasi-depressive state by casually committing grave evils with zero scruples

Anonymous asked:

"most people view God as just a very large/powerful angel instead of Being Itself" not really related, but your post reminded me of a pagan neo-nazi thinking that the abrahaamic God was a "space worm"

he was using images of the gnostic demiurge to inferiorize Him compared to odin lmaao, I found it so funny

so insanely stupid it’s almost impressive

Anonymous asked:

is bullying a sin? if it is, where is the line drawn between just being cruel, and trying to do it for them / enforce society's standards? sometimes i noticed fat guys who get bullied use it as fuel to get fit, but fat girls get worse and end up with lifelong issues.

I don’t buy the “we got rid of bullying and now look!!!” arguments that right wingers tend to make. Not because I don’t think it can’t be helpful to some degree but because the issues go way deeper than that. Bullying is sinful insofar as you are depriving the other of charity. If and when thay occurs is probably nebulous and highly dependent on circumstance so I don’t know.

From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but bruises and sores and raw wounds; they are not pressed out or bound up or softened with oil.

O Lord, Lover of men, is this bed to be my coffin, or wilt Thou enlighten my wretched soul with another day? Here the coffin lies before me and here death confronts me. I fear, O Lord, Thy Judgement and the endless torments, yet I cease not to do evil. My Lord God, I continually anger Thee and Thy immaculate Mother, and all the Heavenly Powers and my holy Guardian Angel. I know, O Lord, that I am unworthy of Thy love but deserve condemnation and every torment. But, whether I want it or not, save me, O Lord. For to save a good man is no great thing and to have mercy on the pure is nothing wonderful, for they are worthy of Thy mercy. But show the wonder of Thy mercy to me, a sinner. In this, reveal Thy love for men, lest my wickedness prevail over Thy unutterable goodness and mercy. And order my life as Thou wilt.
(As sleep is the image of death, at night we pray for the departed)
With the Saints give rest, O Christ, to the souls of Thy servants where there is no pain, no sorrow, no sighing, but life everlasting.

Saint John Damascene, Bedside Prayer

found out that Mr Rogers, in spite of being notably protestant, received last rites from a good friend of his who was a Catholic priest and monk
