Christians do not call burial places “necropolises”, that is, “cities of the dead”, but “cemeteries”, which literally means “sleeping places”, places where one rests, awaiting the resurrection.
Pope Leo XIV has called on all Catholics to observe a day of prayer and fasting for world peace on Friday, August 22nd, the Feast of the Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth.
Our Lady, Queen of Peace, Pray for Peace and Pray for Us.
@VVannozza You’re right, honey, we’ve built a good thing, even if it isn’t as flashy as other people’s stuff today.
Hm… you ever wish you could go back and relive the old days in the moment?
@VVannozza That’s true: WE know who we really are, and I guess THAT’s what matters. I guess I just wish we could have carried at least some of that legacy into the future.
I mean, look at the Habsburgs, those guys retained some fame: they may not be KINGS anymore, but they drive racecars!
@VVannozza Our family was on top of the world for a while. We were living the dream, other than the kids fighting and stuff.
Nowadays, there’s so many friggin’ Popes from all different time periods, and our name is linked to scandals.
@VVannozza It might be, yeah. Rose is doing the main celebration with Celeste and her family this year, and who knows where our older kids will be. Hey, maybe they’ll show up, I’ll be happy if they do.
*sighs* I just miss when all the Borgias were together, y’know?
