Happy birthday to our Blessed Mother! Today is the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
This little comment shows why teaching children to pray matters. Long after they leave your home, they will still carry those prayers and praying habits with them.
When a kid gets scared at night, they turn to prayer, and find enough comfort to close his eyes. This is the faith taking root that will affect their ordinary life: learning, even at ten years old, that you can bring your fears to God and ask Our Lady to pray for you.
And if you are an adult who reaches for the Rosary when you are afraid, there is nothing childish about needing your heavenly Mother.
Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.
Today we celebrate the birth of a little girl who would be called to become the Mother of her Creator, the Mother of God. Yet, she is born simply as a little girl, like the daughters and granddaughters we hold in our arms. We bestow upon her the most exalted and noble titles, such as Our Lady and Queen, but Godโs way was and remains simpler and quieter, yet no less powerful and transformative. It is the way of Jesus Himself. #NativityOfMary
QUEENSHIP OF MARY
โA great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head, a crown of twelve stars.โ (Revelation 12: 1)
UPDATE: Sen. Bam Aquino is not in favor of a blanket ban on video games and proposes a strict age restriction instead.
Aquino: โMas maraming studies na ginawa na nagsasabing walang correlation between video games and school shootingโฆ Dapat sa mga video game stores and online stores, medyo mas strikto rin yung ating rules pagdating sa mga bata.โ | via @victoriatulad
Basically us 19 years ago being immersed in computer games.
We did Counter-Strike & other similar games regarded as violent.
These games taught us to healthily compartmentalize, appropriate, & rechannel our emotions and aggressions.
Computer games are not at fault in violence.
