Catholic, Author, Terminal Midwit
Pray the Rosary!

[Raef Pineda @RaefPineda]

In honor of St. Alphonsus Ligouri's feast today, here is the root cause of why I am a Catholic today. That quote is the exact reason I began to pray the Rosary, and all else followed.

The lady who made this post, I heard, got into health/financial problems, please pray for her!

@KingAnderdingus @CyberGu63859436 @11jerans @jamesawhiite And it’s not the right verse either

"I have loved thee with an everlasting love, therefore have I drawn thee, taking pity on thee." - Jer. xxxi. 3

@gunk4188 Andor looks like generic artstation sci fi, and even worse it’s greyslop!

[kunk @gunk4188]

Lazily pasted-on real world locations with some light sci-fi detailing that don't eco any established SW aesthetic because Gilroy is a hack. No sense of antiquity or fantasy. They look like they could be edited pictures of Toronto.

I'm being told everything is supposed to look boring and dull to symbolize the Empire taking over. If only Tony Gilroy had been there to tell George Lucas what an Imperial ruled Coruscant would look like while he was working on Underworld!

[Pascal @KnowsPascal]

God desires from us more fidelity to the little things that he places in our power than ardor for great things that do not depend upon us.

"The recollected live securely in the present without anxious concern about the future.
Do not be miserable prematurely. Do not go out to welcome evils, imagining them before they appear, but rather say perhaps they will not come. Do not toil in suspicion, heeding what does not exist. Turn your back on all matters you can avoid. Do not seek out what is in your interest but what is in Jesus Christ's. Do not be concerned about yourself so you can be concerned for God. Scorn yourself that you may be relieved of anxiety and find the true rest of humility that neither fears to fall nor hopes to rise. Do not busy yourself in things of the world if you wish to calm yourself. Do not be anxious to have friends and acquaintances, nor worry if others esteem or depreciate you. Place your confidence in Our Lord God who, if you are calm, will enlighten everything for you. Do not fear loss nor love gain, for you cannot lose so much that you will be without what you need to live. Realize that no one can forcibly rob you of virtues, nor must you submit to vice against your free will." - Francisco de Osuna

[Memento Mori @TempusFugit4016]

"Those who correct others should watch for the Holy Spirit to go ahead of them and touch a person's heart. Learn to imitate Him who reproves gently. When you become outraged over a person's fault, it is generally not "righteous indignation" but your own impatient personality expressing itself. Here is the imperfect pointing a finger at the imperfect. The more you selfishly love yourself, the more critical you will be. Self-love cannot forgive the self-love it discovers in others. Nothing is so offensive to a haughty, conceited heart as the sight of another one. God's love, however, is full of consideration, patience, and tenderness. It leads people out of their weakness and sin one step at a time." - Francois Fenelon

@aquiloniandream @ChaoticKey29912 Rockets are the best weapon on team slayer maps and its not even close. Each weapon (except the needler lol) has its use. Even the AR is the best melee weapon!

[Raef Pineda @RaefPineda]

@Djltheescapade @nygma0451 Rockets are the best power weapon in CE and it’s not even close, the sniper is kinda just an alternative to the pistol, at least in slayer

@tkcqd516 I have a feeling it’s because some encyclopedia nerd saw the C709 complement was too big for the Autumn’s official size and opted for the smaller fighter, which I think is lame. They should’ve just rolled with it

Wow, that sucks ass. Even our continents are better-shaped than other planets. Earth is the best.

[Classical Theist ✠ @ClassicalTheis]

“‘Preach the Gospel to every creature?’ Nay, but by the words ‘every creature’ we must understand Man, in whom are combined qualities of all creatures. Being he has in common with stones, life in common with trees, feeling in common with beasts, understanding in common with angels. If, then, man has something in common with every creature, man is to a certain extent every creature.” - Pope Gregory the Great

[Become A Saint @BeSaintly]

Our life & our death is with our neighbor.

If we gain our brother, we have gained God, but if we scandalize our brother, we have sinned against Christ.

Vigil of Ascension

"Teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world." - Matt. 28

The Ascension of our Lord

"You must know, that not pride, nor avarice, nor impurity, nor any other vice ascends with Christ; for with the teacher of humility pride ascends not, nor with the author of goodness, malice, nor with the Son of the Virgin, impurity."

"On the last day, when the general examination takes place, there will be no question at all on the text of Aristotle, the aphorisms of Hippocrates, or the paragraphs of Justinian. Charity will be the whole syllabus." - St. Robert Bellarmine

I hope in 2091 people are still drawing mech interiors with tactile switches and buttons instead of a touchscreen. Let's be better than automobile manufacturers.
