This is a decent message, but I really take a huge issue with using AI to generate an image of Mary holding a rosary. First, that's not an actual rosary. If you count the beads, you'll notice it's just flat out wrong. Also, there are major issues with AI

Have you ever thought about praying the Rosary specifically for the purification of your memory?
In Catholic thought, the memory is one of the faculties of the soul, alongside the intellect and the will. To purify the memory is to surrender painful recollections, regrets, intrusive thoughts, and unhealthy attachments to Christ, asking Him to free us from their power.
At the beginning of your Rosary, you can simply pray:
“Lord, I offer this Rosary for the purification of my memory.
Take every painful recollection, every regret, and every unholy image, and wash them in Your grace.”
You can also bring this intention into each mystery:
• Agony in the Garden: memories of anxiety and fear
• Scourging at the Pillar: memories of suffering and shame
• Crowning with Thorns: impure or troubling thoughts
• Resurrection: renewal, hope, and new life
Or add a simple clause to the Hail Mary:“…and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus, who purifies my memory.”
Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.
I find it increasingly difficult to care about current politics. I'll still vote, and I'll vet the people I vote for when the time comes. That said, media has not produced any good fruits in my life, so I refuse to participate anymore.
@jclimacus5 @crowe_justinp @JeffCavins@AscensionPress I agree that Christians everywhere fall short and struggle to follow God. Regardless, you should try to build as close of a relationship with God for yourself as possible, and don’t let other people be the reason you don’t.
@Christworldordr@FrBarnabas Do you define praying to=worship? If so, is the extent of you worshipping God just prayer? Do you go to Church, and is it not to worship?
@RedFlagSnark@DaraKoenig @TaraBull808 You can buy your coffee on the way to the airport and get it on the plane, you really don’t have to buy it from Starbucks
@DaraKoenig@RedFlagSnark @TaraBull808 Just try local coffee shops instead, it’s not that hard. Just type into your maps “coffee” and the choices will pop up all over
@bryson_cierra@RedFlagSnark @TaraBull808 @CafeBustelo Cafe bustelo sucks tbh, I prefer 8 o’clock dark Italian espresso, but if I do buy coffee from a shop it’s always a local place
@phX_risingseer@HonusBandicoot@LorrieAnn25@elonmusk Intention is irrelevant when you are comparing the deaths as a result of each. But since you ask, the stats show clearly if you aren’t suicidal or a gang member, your chance of dying from being shot is less than your chance of drowning. Oh yeah, don’t live in Chicago, NY, Philly
@HonusBandicoot@LorrieAnn25@phX_risingseer@elonmusk You’re focusing on a red herring, none of that is the point. The point is we have decided as a society the unfortunate deaths from car accidents are outweighed by the benefit of owning cars. The same is true for being able to defend oneself with a firearm, and you can compare.
@Michele_Tafoya They aren’t afraid of anything. My priest mentioned Charlie in his homily. It just depends on who the priest is and what he wants to talk about to make his point.
