@w_network @stacktv Which season? 11?

[EAClark @ea_clark]

@DeSantisWarRoom You really need to stop. I don't care about Haley and you running her down constantly is old. DeSantis appears to be in trouble which is disappointing to me. Tell me what he is going to do. The constant mud slinging is why I hate politics.

[EAClark @ea_clark]

@cnalive Yes, we will be.

This is one of the most haunting sculptures ever produced.

It depicts Saint Bartholomew, one of Christ's twelve apostles, who brought Christianity to India and Armenia in the 1st century.

Like many Christian martyrs, he suffered an excruciating demise; a common account tells that he was skinned alive and then beheaded, in punishment for converting the king of Armenia to the faith.

This terrifying piece is by Renaissance artist Marco d’Agrate. It's a rare example of an écorché (a figure showing the muscles of the body without skin) in sculpture, produced in exquisite detail from a block of marble in 1562.

The "cloak" you see draped over the apostle's shoulder is not clothing but his own skin. Bartholomew wears it proudly, clutching the knife that flayed him. Despite his torment he stands defiant and stern in expression, quite literally wearing his own suffering. According to legend, Bartholomew continued preaching to a rapt audience after his executors had flayed him.

The contrapposto stance and determined glare make an interesting parallel to Michelangelo's "David". But d’Agrate went one further - the subject here is (literally) stripped bare with remarkable anatomical precision, the result of d’Agrate's careful study of the human body. Every vein, muscle and tendon is represented in minute detail.

The unique sculpture has lived at Milan Cathedral for nearly five centuries, reminding visitors of the power of enduring faith in the face of religious persecution.

@VictorWarrens @KeithNester1 The person doesn't consume the Eucharist at the altar. They start walking back to the pew with it still in their hand.

Our labor here is brief, but the reward is eternal. Do not be disturbed by the clamor of the world, which passes like a shadow. Do not let the false delights of a deceptive world deceive you.

Angelic Justice.

St. Michael, heavenly warrior and protector, stand by our side as we face the challenges of this world. Shield us from those who wish harm upon us and guide our hearts towards the light of God's love.

Mighty St. Michael, hear our earnest plea. With your unwavering strength, guard us against the malevolence that seeks to lead us astray. By the grace of the Almighty, push away the shadows and bring clarity to our path.

O revered St. Michael, Prince of the Heavenly Host, we beseech your intercession. With the divine authority vested in you, keep at bay the adversaries that lurk in the darkness, ensuring our spirits remain untainted and devoted to our Heavenly Father. Amen.

Please share and reply with "Amen in the comments."
