O good Jesus, hear me. Within your wounds, hide me. Let me never be separated from you.

Trying to get this sub out by the feast of St Joseph the Worker. It’s my first long form essay that references him extensively as husband of Mary and foster father of Jesus and his role as model of faith. Still feeling very hopeful about my ETA, thank you for all your prayers🥺❤️

Reading an entire paper for a source

@Boripe_ I knew I wasn’t going crazy

@hellobukola 😀😀 I had already completed my first degree before I ever heard the words “Talking Stage”. Yes, I heard it here. Had to ask a younger woman what it meant

"We’ve communicated an intent to work towards official relationship." 😅 Talking stages are nothing but gisting partners, and I will write this into law in my regime so you can rely on it in court if they try to convince you otherwise 🥂

That man/woman is not your talking stage, they’re your friend/acquaintance/gisting partner. Don’t invite the spirit of confusion into your life ❤️

This is how people waste time btw. No substance, no depth, just airrrr. Free yourselves man lol

🚨let me tell you why Iran just closed the Strait of Hormuz again because most people have no idea what happened today.. this morning the deal was simple.. stop the war.. reopen the strait.. let oil flow.. Iran did its part.. oil dropped 16%.. but Iran had one condition that mattered more than anything.. Lebanon must be included in the ceasefire.. it was point one in their 10-point plan.. Trump called it "workable".. hours later Israel bombed Beirut and Tyre.. Netanyahu said "this is not the end of the battle".. Trump confirmed Lebanon was never in the deal.. and Iran's parliament announced 3 out of 10 clauses were already violated.. so here's what actually happened.. Iran was told the deal covers Lebanon.. opened the strait based on that understanding.. then watched Lebanon get bombed while the White House said it was never covered.. Iran didn't break the ceasefire.. the ceasefire was broken around them.. and the strait is the only leverage they have to prove it matters.. 20% of the world's oil is being turned on and off like a game.. running the worl like a school project.. people are dying in Beirut.. markets are swinging billions by the hour.. and the people in charge can't even agree on what they signed this morning.. these are our leaders..

The Pope is not "woke" so much as US evangelicalism has been veering deeper into heresy for quite some time now & dragging too many Catholics along with it. And the Church is finally saying enough is enough.

The Avignon Papacy reference is the detail that demands attention. An American defense official invoked a 14th-century episode in which the French Crown physically relocated the papacy to Avignon and controlled it for 67 years - as an implicit model for what happens to religious institutions that oppose state power. That's not a slip of the tongue. That's a studied historical reference deployed deliberately in a room with the Pope's senior diplomat. The message was not subtle. Leo heard it. He spent Holy Week delivering what papal scholars described as a sustained theological argument about the nature of power and imperial violence. On Palm Sunday he said Jesus rejects the prayers of those who wage war. On Easter Sunday - the same morning Trump posted his expletive-filled threat on Truth Social - Leo told world leaders to lay down weapons. On Tuesday he called the civilization threat "truly unacceptable" and asked citizens directly to contact their elected representatives. The White House's response to the Pope's Tuesday statement: "The Iranian people welcome the sound of bombs because it means their oppressors are losing." The first American pope will spend America's 250th birthday on Lampedusa with migrants. One Vatican official told The Free Press: "The Pope may well never visit the United States under this administration." The Pentagon summoned a cardinal and invoked the Avignon Papacy. The Pope responded by asking 1.4 billion Catholics to call their congressmen.

I didn’t get the prime minister I wanted in the UK because he didn’t like Israel

I renew my invitation for everyone to join me for the Prayer Vigil for Peace, which we will celebrate in St. Peter’s Basilica on Saturday, April 11, at 6:00 PM Rome time. #PrayTogether #Peace

Don’t burn bridges over politics? I will burn including the road that leads to that bridge!!!

Let me get this straight: the Trump admin threatened the Pope and the Vatican with military force in a private meeting, and when J.D. Vance--who has a new book out soon about his conversion to Catholicism--was asked about that meeting, he didn't know the name of the Vatican's Ambassador to the U.S.?

BREAKING 🇺🇸 🇻🇦 JD Vance has responded to claims that some at the PENTAGON had THREATENED the VATICAN Vance was in Budapest when he responded to a story claiming that Cardinal Christophe Pierre was given a 'bitter lecture' at the Pentagon, with references allegedly made to the Avignon Papacy and instructions that the Vatican 'better take its sides Secretary of Defense Elbridge Colbyis reported to have summoned the cardinal to the Pentagon, having apparently taken issue with the pope's message about peace to the Diplomatic Corps in January When asked about the story this evening, Vance initially did not recall who the cardinal was before recollecting and stating that he wants to hear the story from Cardinal Pierre and 'quite frankly from our own people'

The only difference between your family sleeping in peace and my family waking up to bombs is your geographical luck

I will never forget what they did to Diane Abbott.

“will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they turn up with a bucket.”

Israel bombed a 4 year old Palestinian girl in her refugee tent murdering her mother.

@mercifulGod5555 Please read it again ❤️

@hellobukola So are you trying to say we have higher love and devotion to mother Mary than our Lord Jesus?

This is funny because I went to Lourdes and came back a stronger Catholic so I have and will forever have real love for Our Lady, but it is nothing compared to my love for Jesus. My love and devotion to Our Lord is much higher, and this is what she wants. This is all she wants.

@BeatrixEdi96212 😔

@hellobukola Context😔🩷

Just because your family has been doing it for 1,000 years doesn’t make it correct 😭 omg cradle catholics are the funniest!
