He has now explained the suction power three times. Each explanation has made the situation worse.
Some gifts say, “I love you.” Others say, “I have identified a productivity problem in this household.”
Appropriately, October 28 is the feast of Saints Simon and Jude. St. Jude is traditionally the patron of hopeless causes.
St. Jude was also known as Judas. Catholic tradition identifies him with the disciple whom John's Gospel carefully distinguishes as “Judas, not the Iscariot” (John 14:22). Imagine needing that clarification for two thousand years.
At the Last Supper, this Judas asks Jesus why He will reveal Himself to His disciples and not to the world. Jesus gives a remarkable answer: those who love Him and keep His word will find that the Father and Son come to make their home with them (John 14:23).
God doesn't merely want to impress us. He wants to make His home with us.
And perhaps that's what our unfortunate husband has misunderstood. Love isn't just about bringing something useful into a home. It's about giving ourselves to the people who live there.
His case is not entirely hopeless.
Though a fourth explanation of the suction power could change that.
@USCCB What a beautiful set of readings , St Paul get us ready for the spiritual battle the psalm praise God almighty and Jesus prophets the time needed to save us and makes sure all the scripture is fulfilled.
@TouchlineX You know there is a reason for that.
The defender in last game against him keep provoking even after the final whistle from referee.
Is just payback from the GOAT 🐐 hopefully he learned the lesson
I spent 8 years inside Planned Parenthood. I know what an in-person visit is supposed to catch — ectopic pregnancies, how far along someone actually is, complications that can turn deadly.
Mail-order abortion skips all of it. There's no ultrasound, exam, or doctor. It's just pills sent to your house based on an online questionnaire.
But these pills have put women in the ER with blood clots, infections, and incomplete abortions. No abortion is safe, but this makes it even worse.

The Rosary isn't just for saints. It's for sinners who want to become saints. 📿
📅 October 7: Feast of our Lady of the Rosary
Maybe you've been away from Confession for years. Maybe you keep falling into the same sins. Or maybe you've done things that make you wonder if God could ever forgive you.
But here's what you need to understand. Your past does not have to be your future.
Every time you pick up your Rosary, you have another chance to turn your heart toward Jesus. And even when you feel nothing, God can still be working in your soul.
St. Louis de Montfort once wrote:
“If you say the Rosary faithfully unto death, I do assure you that, in spite of the gravity of your sins, ‘you will receive a never-fading crown of glory.’”
He wasn't saying you could live in sin, pray a few Hail Marys, and expect to enter Heaven. The Rosary is not a magic ticket to salvation.
His message was about the power of staying faithful to prayer and allowing God's grace to change your life.
The more you pray, the more you come to know Jesus. You begin to see your sins differently. You find the courage to go to Confession. You learn to fight temptations you once gave in to.
And sometimes, that change takes years.
So don't stop praying because you still struggle. Don't give up because you don't feel holy enough.
God is not asking you to have a perfect past. He is calling you to repent, trust His mercy, and keep following Him.
And Our Lady will always lead you closer to her Son.
💬 Do you believe praying the Rosary every day can change even the most hardened sinner? YES or NO?
Saint Francis: after a dissolute youth he was converted at Assisi in Umbria and embraced an evangelical life, becoming poor himself to serve Jesus Christ, whom he found most of all in the poor and abandoned. He gathered the Friars Minor around him and preached the love of God to everyone, as he traveled even as far as the Holy Land. He aspired to the perfect following of Christ in word and deed, and wished to die upon the bare earth.
Saint Francis of Assisi, pray for us!
