Another Catholic obsessed with her own works lol

“In the evening of this life, I shall appear before You with empty hands, for I do not ask You, Lord, to count my works. All our justice is stained in Your eyes. I wish, then, to be clothed in Your own Justice and to receive from Your Lovethe eternal possession of Yourself. I want no other Throne, no other Crownbut You, my Beloved!

Time is nothing in Your eyes, and a single day is like a thousand years. You can, then, in one instant prepare me to appear before You. 

In order to live in one single act of perfect Love, I offer myself as a victim of holocaust to your merciful love, asking You to consume me incessantly, allowing the waves of infinite tenderness shut up within You to overflow into my soul, and that thus I may become a martyr of Your Love, O my God! 

May this martyrdom, after having prepared me to appear before You, finally cause me to die and may my soul take its flight without any delay into the eternal embrace of Your Merciful Love. 

I want, O my Beloved, at each beat of my heart to renew this offering to You an infinite number of times, until the shadows having disappeared I may be able to tell You of my Love in an Eternal Face to Face!” -Saint Thérèse

@GeringerAdam @3blue1brown would say to watch his stuff AND do it by hand for best result

@KatieScarlet13 @CatholicFQ The concept of western civilization is an enlightenment concept

[O @OAmKorAr]

@CatholicFQ The very concept of “western civilization” is anathema to Catholicism and Christendom. The two are often confused.

Forget google. Im pretty sure you start getting letters from around the country when get a good PSAT. They just judge on score and a geography where they think they could pull from.

[VB Knives @Empty_America]

I got a lot of heat for saying it, but there are in fact many full ride scholarships for kids who score very high on the PSAT.

And yes, this does apply to white kids.

And no, it's not a secret "they" kept from you.

I would assume that kids with IQ 130+ can use google.

@Empty_America I’d take USA 🇺🇸 personally but Nassim Taleb made an interesting point about how the CCP is pretty authoritarian at the top but seems like you can largely just cook and sell food in major metros and suburbs and do other business activities freely

[O @OAmKorAr]

@honorablesaint I think examples like this on twitter confuse people. For every one of her there are 10 pretty well put together young ladies at Catholic groups whose criteria is pretty reasonable

[O @OAmKorAr]

@nealjclark1 You sure about that?

[O @OAmKorAr]

This is my exact idea of a hero

[Patrick Heizer @PatrickHeizer]

I had never heard this name before and I don't even know what to say.

@bronzebust One of the funniest all time passages

[O @OAmKorAr]

@bronzebust That reminds me of the movie UP! Very cool trip!

[O @OAmKorAr]

@Empty_America If you want to do pretty much anything grand you quickly realize the population of the US must Increase dramatically

[O @OAmKorAr]

The military/service academy or mission field - a lot of Mormons do both

[VB Knives @Empty_America]

Is there an opening here for a much different and better 18-22 "away from home" experience?

Perhaps something that combines physical activity, character development, and academics?

Very different from the current fashion of slumping about a campus in PJs, etc.

[O @OAmKorAr]

One of the most impressive projects I’ve ever read about. The intro itself could inspire an engineering or building career

[Johnny Hot Pocket @billandhisclips]

$180k salary plus equity to any MechE who has read and completed D. Gingery's series: Build Your Own Metal Working Shop from Scratch

[VB Knives @Empty_America]

It would be a good thing and should not be seen as a punishment.

I'd say 2 years. Get every boy out of the house at 16-18, give them an Americanizing experience.

Let them out by age 21 with 50K in the bank and GI bill.

Going to college as a true adult would *help* males.

[O @OAmKorAr]

The exports + immigration seems to get the least attention and yet is most positive outlook. We aren’t even close to settling the North American continent, and people still come here to build things. Why not make that the focus?

[Adam Van Buskirk @AHVanBuskirk]

It's odd that opposing *imports* and opposing *immigration* tend to be opinions held at the same time.

Logically a smaller, aging, lower immigration nation can only maintain quality of life by importing extensively as its workforce falls, such a place becomes obviously ill suited for all high labor or lower value production.

In essence, the need for immigration can be combated by having as many high labor activities outsourced as possible.

One could further imagine such a country dealing with the care of the old by providing the option for comfortable retirements overseas, in pleasant locations where the human labor exists to provide proper care.

@NyinaWaJambo81 Not quite! At the TLM in Newton, MA they read all from both the new and old rite! So that the parish is one even if people are drawn to one mass

[O @OAmKorAr]

@Molson_Hart @cheechoong This is funny because it used to exist in abundance. Even wealthy families cutting coupons, thrift shopping, etc. but now it does seems gone under a regime of mass affluence. How did that happen so fast?

[O @OAmKorAr]

@mattparlmer All the time you see this. Are they repurposed from a true six axis job? Or is the 6 a cheaper than the gantry? It’s not the optimal machine tool

[O @OAmKorAr]

@Empty_America Military being another obvious case of lowering your living standards and saving more
