@GodWinsGetSaved@cleophis1975@OwenBenjamin Pretty sure the ambulance that was there would have known the best route. But who am I. I guess security teams focus on Waze instead of shooters too.
@RepThomasMassie And who will you convince to vote for it? You've had years and years in Congress to convince others to vote with you. Name even one or two you have.
In his Summa Theologiae, St Thomas Aquinas provides a systematic account of man’s obligations concerning the commandment of love. He explains that the order of charity (ordo caritatis) is a hierarchical love that begins with God and then extends outward in proper degrees.
One must first love God above all, then oneself rightly ordered to God, and then those most closely united to him.
A father’s primary obligation is to his immediate family, then to his extended family and friends, and then to his wider community.
Similarly, a nation’s primary obligation is to its own citizens, then to neighbouring peoples and allies, and finally to the wider international community.
A man that inverts the order of charity — whether under the name of charity, mercy, or tolerance — is as the name would suggest, fundamentally disordered.
We must always choose the most perfect. Two good works present themselves to be done, one in favour of a person we love, the other in favour of a person who has done us some harm. Well, we must give preference to the latter. - Saint John Vianney
When Jesus said do this in remembrance of me, I believe he also means remembering God at the time we were created. That we are blessed to partake in his body and blood as a reminder of our original birth and creation.
The settlers in the 1700s named the city of Los Angeles after her: El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles de Porciúncula. "The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels of Porciúncula". So a more accurate nickname would’ve been “The City of Our Lady” instead of really “The City of Angels.”
