Jesus is the ultimate healer ☀️

Our Lady of Lebanon, pray for us! 🙏🏼💔🇱🇧

I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is. This is TERRORISM. Pure and Simple. April 8. Never forget.

Our Lady of Lebanon, pray for peace 🙏🏻🇱🇧

Grief doesn’t follow my orders or anyone’s rules or schedule.. or assumptions of whatever you imagine they’re doing or who they’re speaking to. I can’t even breathe or swallow my food without force but you’re over there imagining me speaking to people.

Asking a highly triggering question about someone’s deceased loved one bc your upset with the person for shutting down and then using that specific response to ignore them once they forced themselves to respond to your painful question is nothing short of dark revenge.

So I watched "The Passion of the Christ" last night. And I am on my back deck tonight thinking. Think about this. In the movie, they have beaten him to near death and when they first take him to his cross, Jesus clings to it, and the thief chastised him for embracing his own cross. Mocking him for doing so. Then Christ gave all he had to carry that cross which weighed as much as him.. They beat him while he did. It came to the point that his physical body couldn't carry it any longer, so a man was ordered to carry it with him. Yet Christ still clung to the cross. Do you know why? Because he knew at the other end of that short journey was OUR freedom. Not his.... OURS..... with every single step, with every drop of blood, with every single tear, he knew he was one moment closer to being at the right hand of the Father and his mission complete to free us all. The man embraced the cross. Begged God to forgive the men nailing him to it. Begged God to forgive those that had beaten him with whips and canes and hammered a crown of thorns on his head. He embraced it all.... for US...... And now, when times get hard and life gets even slightly uncomfortable, we claim that "God isn't listening and won't take my burden" as if we even know what a real burden is... How many times would we cling to the proverbial cross for another and suffer as he did to free them from the pain? Would we ever do it at all? Maybe for our own child? Maybe? As you lay down tonight, pray a prayer of thanks. Not for the normal things. Not tonight. Tonight, pray a special prayer of thanks that he held on to that cross and carried it as far as his mortal body would allow... because that took more dedication than any of us could give for anyone. By the time you wake up in the morning, he will have risen, 2000 years ago. He will have beat death. 2000 years ago, all the sin you and I will ever commit was paid for because he clung to that cross like it was a lifeline.... not for him... But for you and me.

Hail Holy Queen Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you, do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To you, do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears Turn then, most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us, and after this exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen 🙏🏼

This is where Saint Charbel lived. Yes, he used a wood log for a pillow.

Saint Joseph, Terror of Demons, Protect Children from Monsters!

The man who never spoke a word is called the Terror of Demons. In the entire Bible, St. Joseph never speaks a single word. He is silent but he acts. He wakes up at midnight to flee to Egypt. He protects the Virgin. He raises the Son of God. His title in the litany is Terror Daemonum (Terror of Demons). Why? Because Satan fears silence. Satan fears the man who does his duty without complaining, without bragging, and without hesitation. St. Joseph is the model of the interior life. This makes him the perfect spiritual weapon in quiet spiritual combat. In the age of fatherlessness & impurity we need the spirit of St Joseph more than ever. Our modern world is plagued by weak men, broken homes & the collapse of fatherhood. St. Joseph is the antidote to the age. St Joseph, Terror of Demons, pray for us!

Mark 11:22 “Have faith in God," Jesus answered.
