@OldRowSports FIRST: I 100% agree it is not racist.
FOR those that don't get the racism implication: Slaves were primarily in the South, if they escaped, they were alligator bait. At one time, some thought alligators preferred black skin.
@libsoftiktok A judge, who sees the defendant while on defendant's best behavior for a brief time, or the sheriff who sees much more of the defendant and his real behavior? That's a no-brainer.
Turning the other cheek is not the withdrawal of the loser, but the action of one who has a greater inner strength, who defeats evil with good, who opens up a breach in the heart of the enemy, unmasking the absurdity of his hatred. It is dictated not by calculation, but by love.
@cecsquared My grandma was in a nursing home when she said "God's forgotten me. I can't get around, my hands shake, I can't feed myself, I'm useless & should be dead." My reply then is the same to you: "You can pray for others. Your mind is good, God loves you & has a reason for everything."
The first act of charity we can do for our neighbour is to offer a serene and smiling face. It is to bring them the joy of Jesus, as Mary did with Elizabeth. #GospelOfTheDay
Come, Holy Spirit of love, open our hearts to listen. Come, Spirit of holiness, renew the holy faithful People of God. Come, creator Spirit, renew the face of the earth! #Synod#ListeningChurch https://t.co/zpoEKSzUqa
Life is a gift, and when it is long it is a privilege. The “wealth of many years” is a wealth in terms of the persons themselves, their experience and history. #IDOP2021
This is the medicine: fewer useless words and more of the Word of God. Let us hear the words of the #GospelOfTheDay addressed to us: “Ephphatha, be opened!” Jesus, I want to open myself to your Word, open myself to listen. Heal my heart.
What is the secret of a blessed life, a happy life? Recognizing Jesus as the living God. For it is not important to know that Jesus was great in history. What matters is the place I give him in my life.
There is no better way to pray than to place oneself like Mary in an attitude of openness, with a heart open to God: ‘Lord, what you want, when you want, and how you want’.
God does not come in extraordinary events, but works amid the apparent monotony of our daily life, in the frequently dull rhythm of our activities, in the little things that, working with tenacity and humility, we achieve in our efforts to do his will.
Underlying all our strengths and weaknesses, stronger than all our past hurts and failures, or our fears and concerns about the future, there is this great truth: we are beloved sons and daughters.
God knows that the only way to save us, to heal us from within, is by loving us. He knows that we become better only by accepting his unfailing love, an unchanging love that changes us.
If all of our 800k police officers should simultaneously take a two week vacation, I wonder how many people would still support defunding them once they returned? The police are the only ones standing in the gap between freedom and anarchy. #REfundThePolice
