On The Most Holy Rosary of the Virgin Mary "The aim is to direct the attention of the mind (and heart) to a series of discrete topics, called Mysteries, which are either episodes from the life of Jesus or from the post-dormition glorification of Mary.." thoughtfullycatholic.wordpress.com/2026/02/27/on-…

May 1 is the Feast of St Joseph the Worker. Christ the Lord deigned to be thought the son of a carpenter, alleluia. Christus Dóminus fabri fílius putári dignátus est, allelúia. (Magnificat Antiphon 1st Vespers of the Feast)

There is a rising tide of murderous and violent anti-Jewish hatred in the UK but that tide is rising more rapidly and dangerously in some parts of the population than in others. For so long as the State and the news-media never refer to that fact they will be part of the problem.

@LMSChairman There are no doubt armed guards outside Jewish schools in many parts of the world, but I think the guards in the UK would not have firearms. Obviously the mere fact of guards at all is terrible but in this country arming them would be the nuclear option.

I find it particularly upsetting that Jewish schools have to employ armed guards. In what sort of country are children targeted for violence? And yet we all know that the guards are necessary.
Tom Holland@holland_tom

It’s all too clear that a country in which Jews are attacked on the streets simply because they are Jewish, synagogues need to employ security, & anti-Semitic slogans & images are paraded through city centres or exhibited in art galleries is exactly what we’ve become.

The most important reason for loving God is that He is lovable. Everything else is, at best, secondary.

Lord, unmake me, and break the hardness of my heart, that I be not a tool which spoils Thy works! #StCatherineofSiena

There is no sin nor wrong that gives a man such a foretaste of hell in this life as anger and impatience. St Catherine of Siena

The Pastor argues that women's work is being denigrated and that passive obedience is being highlighted. This week sees the Feast of St Catherine of Siena a contemplative woman who was very much in the tradition of Mary and whom no one in their right minds would call 'passive'.

@Glinner When you wrote Father Ted did you believe that a society without Christianity would be at least as good, if not better, than a society with Christianity? What do you believe now?

A recommendation that is not strictly limited to Piers Morgan. If you don't already do so, you too could add devotion to the Seven Sorrows of Mary to your spiritual repertoire.
thoughtfully catholic@stevhep

@piersmorgan May I recommend that you add the Seven Sorrows of Mary to your treasury of prayers? 'Saying a Shorter Seven Sorrows' is, as the name implies, a brief gateway method to aid entry into the devotion. thoughtfullycatholic.wordpress.com/2019/07/18/say…

At the New Jerusalem, @SpencerKlavan turns in an excellent essay on how the U.S. astronauts not only beat the Soviets to the moon, but were also first to realize that they were looking at a cosmos created by a gigantic invisible Jew with a long white beard. Which is why the U.S. is still here today, and the Soviet Union is just an unpleasant memory in the mind of a gigantic invisible Jew with a long white beard. Link below.
