Did you know the Jerusalem Cross used by the Knights of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre and in the Crusades has a meaning?
The massive central cross represents Christ. The four smaller crosses represent the four Evangelists—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
When the knights of the 11th century took this as the official emblem of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, it carried a message:
The Truth of Christ must be taken from the center of the world and carried to the four corners of the earth.
The best Catholic college in America offers only one major, no minors, no technology in the classroom, and they have made absolutely no changes to what they are doing even in the midst of the AI Revolution.
They simply immerse students in beauty - physical beauty, natural beauty, liturgical beauty, intellectual beauty, and relational beauty through deep friendship.
They consistently graduate the most clearheaded, lovely, thoughtful, and normie young people you have ever met. If colleges are going to survive they need to become more like Thomas Aquinas College in California. For those of you who have never seen it before this is what a serious undergraduate education looks like freshman and sophomore year.
A los 40 años, Franz Kafka (1883-1924)
que nunca se casó ni tuvo hijos, paseaba por un parque de Berlín cuando se encontró con una niña que lloraba porque había perdido su muñeca favorita.
Juntos buscaron la muñeca, pero sin éxito. Kafka le dijo que se vieran allí al día siguiente y que volverían a buscarla.
Al día siguiente, cuando aún no habían encontrado la muñeca, Kafka le dio a la niña una carta "escrita" por la muñeca que decía: "Por favor, no llores. Hice un viaje para ver el mundo. Te escribiré sobre mis aventuras".
Así comenzó una historia que continuó hasta el final de la vida de Kafka.
Durante sus encuentros, Kafka leía atentamente las cartas de la muñeca, escritas con aventuras y conversaciones que a la niña le parecían adorables.
Finalmente, Kafka devolvió la muñeca (la había comprado). «No se parece en nada a mi muñeca», dijo la niña.
Kafka le entregó otra carta en la que la muñeca escribía: "Mis viajes me han cambiado". La niña abrazó a la nueva muñeca y la llevó feliz a casa.
Un año después, Kafka murió. Muchos años más tarde, la niña, ya adulta, encontró una carta dentro de la muñeca. En la pequeña carta firmada por Kafka estaba escrito:
“Probablemente perderás todo lo que amas, pero al final, el amor regresará de otra manera.”
Hand of God shows up on womans ultrasound.
"She says that before each ultrasound, she would drop to her knees and ask God to place His hand on baby.
During a recent scan, her young daughter noticed something unusual, what looked like a hand cradling the baby’s head."
There are cat therapy centers in Japan.
If you're tired of life, things aren't going well for you, and it feels like life is coming down on top of you, you can visit these centers.
Here, cats spend time with you, helping to reduce your stress, lift your mood, and restore your energy.
Honestly, it wouldn't be a bad thing if these therapy centers spread all around the world 🐱❤️😹
Most people don’t know that The Pieta was housed in the Old St Peter’s, where lighting would fall down onto the artwork from above, rather than shining upwards onto it as we see it today
That means Michelangelo originally sculpted this with the intention of Mary’s face having shadows over it and Christ’s body being illuminated in contrast
The symbolism would be something like her, like us, being somewhere in between sorrow for the Crucified Christ and hopeful in His Resurrection
It’s interesting how subtle changes, even just the lighting, changes the meaning we take away from art
