we're in a Time Zone...a World Destruction
but It's Alright because the music plays on and on
and I'm not alone with my Message In A Bottle, my prayer . . . 40
there is hope, because others and I Still Believe
people answer THE CALL, so Let The Day Begin

#LOVE

Lord,
This Thursday I come to You honestly, tired, a little scared, and carrying this request that feels truly impossible. I’ve tried, I’ve worried, and I don’t know what else to do. I don’t pretend to understand Your ways, but I know You see me and You see the whole picture. So I’m laying it all down: the fear, the doubt, the desperate hope. Please break through. Do what only You can do. Heal what’s broken, open what’s shut, and bring light where everything feels dark.

I trust You even when my heart is heavy. Help my unbelief. Amen.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Dear writers, we need your imagination, your narrative creativity and your lively thinking. We need these to create spaces of freedom and authenticity, within which divine grace can make the promise of consolation and peace resound. https://t.co/FEmCrdQ392

@Pontifex Here I am, Lord 🙏🙏🙏

Christopher Robin finished the mouthful he was eating and said carelessly: “I saw a Heffalump today.”
“I saw one once,” said Piglet. “At least, I think I did.”
“So did I,” said Pooh, wondering what a Heffalump was like. “You don’t often see them at this time of year,” ~A.A.Milne

@chiamaka___o Amen ~ Praise Be His Holy Name

St. Rita, pray for us 🙏

[~jbem~ @jbem1970]

Once upon a time, during a very sorrowful and trying season, the Holy Spirit kept placing this Sister in Christ before me, nudging me to ask her to pray for me/us. So I did. Thus I witness to graces received. Praise God 🕊️❤️‍🔥🌹

[SIS ADA🧕🏾 @chiamaka___o]

Glorious St. Rita,

O Holy Patroness of those in need, your intercession with our Lord is most powerful. Through the favours obtained by your prayers, you have been called the Advocate of the Hopeless and even of the Impossible. St. Rita, humble and pure; patient and compassionate lover of Christ Crucified!

We have confidence that everyone who has recourse to you, will find comfort and relief. Listen to our petitions and show your power with God on our behalf.

Obtain our petitions for us, if they are for the greater glory of God, and for our good. We promise, if our petitions are granted, to make known your favour, and to glorify God for His gift. Relying on your merits and power before the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we ask of you:

(Share your request…)

Obtain for us our request:
– by the singular merits of your childhood,
– by your perfect union with the Divine Will,
– by your heroic sufferings during your married life,
– by the consolation you experienced at the conversion of your husband,
– by the sacrifice of your children rather than see them grievously offend God,
– by your miraculous entrance into the convent,
– by your severe penances and thrice daily bloody scourging,
– by the suffering caused by the wound you received from the thorn of the Crucified Saviour,
– by the divine love which consumed your heart,
– by that remarkable devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, on which alone you existed for four years,
– by the happiness with which you parted from your trials to join your Divine Spouse,
– by the perfect example you gave to people of every state of life.

Pray for us, O Holy St. Rita, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us Pray:

Heavenly Father, in Your infinite love and mercy, you heed the prayer of Your beloved servant, Saint Rita. You graciously grant favours through her intercession, which are considered impossible to human foresight, skill and efforts. Relying on her compassionate love, we ask You to assist us in our trials and difficulties.

Let unbelievers know that you are the helper of the humble, the defence of the helpless, and the strength of those who trust in You. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

यह गोल नहीं देखा तो #FIFA फुटबॉल का जलवा नहीं देखा ।

@PressSec How do you feel about this? Grateful some Republicans see there’s a conflict. Praying for truth and justice.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

5 Republican Senators have started saying they may not confirm Trump's Attorney General nominee, Todd Blanche.

This comes after Blanche's involvement in the creation of Trump's $1.8B slush fund and tax immunity for Trump's entire family.

[~jbem~ @jbem1970]

@PressSec As a woman, a mother, a Christian I wonder how you truly feel about that?

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while

bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...

but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”

[~jbem~ @jbem1970]

spirit is willing, flesh is weak

but the heart, the heart is Yours Lord

[Old School Eddie @Old_SchoolEddie]

God is looking for surrendered hearts, not perfect ones.

He knows we all fall short and make mistakes every day.

What matters most to Him is a heart that says yes to His will, even when life feels messy.

Surrender means trusting Him with our whole lives instead of trying to fix everything on our own.

This brings real freedom and peace.

As 1 Samuel 16:7 reminds us, people judge by outward things, but the Lord looks at the heart.

Today, simply open your heart to Him.

Tell Him your struggles and let Him lead.

He is ready to work in you and through you, just as you are!

Turn to Him, and watch His grace change everything.

@oogly_booglyman @KingBowserV @MarcoFoster_ Add Epstein to this list.

Rational? Reasonable?

A ballroom? Let them eat cake.

One doesn’t have to be angry but one should care. It’s okay to be alarmed.

Remember, this is a man who knows he can shoot someone on 5th Ave & not loose his voters.

John C. Reilly: “Why aren’t people on the right wing concerned about human rights? They’re human too. Elon Musk says don’t be fooled by the empathy trap. Empathy is not a trap, empathy is a superpower. It’s what makes human beings exceptional, our ability to look outside ourself”
