This photograph was taken during a Christian baptism in Brazil. At the exact moment water was poured over the child’s head, the falling droplets briefly aligned into the shape of a rosary. The camera captured a fraction of a second that would normally pass unnoticed, recording the moment as it happened. Baptism is a public act, representing cleansing, rebirth, and commitment. A rosary is traditionally associated with prayer, repetition, and devotion. In this image, both appear together—not through planning, but through timing. The photograph itself does not interpret the moment. It does not assign meaning or intention. It simply documents what occurred in front of the lens. And yet, many people pause longer on this image than expected, as if something about the alignment feels heavier than coincidence, even without explanation. When moments like this happen without design, what do you think gives them meaning—the event itself, or the way we respond to it?
If Britain falls the whole West will as well.. City of London is head of snake, within walking distance of where I am RIGHT NOW. I was put here for a reason, I believe. Pray for the UK right now because the Starmer regime is gunning to block freedom of speech, and if X is blocked as some are working towards, watch us become a third world country overnight. We are all in it together. United we stand.
'Advice' from an atheist - Kurt Vonnegut (? ) ~~ There is no reason why good cannot triumph as often as evil. The triumph of anything is a matter of organization...
What? There is no reason why good cannot triumph as often as evil? There should be no reason for evil to triumph ever! Does he even know or understand what evil is? He sounds as thought it's ok to be or do evil. Just do more good than evil. That's how I am reading and getting out of it. Is this what you are getting out of itIn Principio to you?
The saddest sight is the soul destined for Hell. Christ calls us to a life of servium, which means specifically that we don't choose our own way, our own wants.
Fr. Gerald Murray: "I'll say this again... No bishop can prohibit Ad Orientem celebration of the Mass in his diocese beyond his powers, because it is foreseen in the Roman Missal, and the Dicastery of Divine Worship has affirmed in private correspondence in the past that this remains a legitimate way to celebrate Mass. Sad to say, many bishops ignore it, and they won't like it to hear it said, but there and by, why in the world would you want to prohibit what was done for 1300 years or more?"
When the Novus Ordo came out, it stated (for the Orate Frates) the priest TURNS to the congregation, meaning that it was taken for granted the priest was celebrating the Mass AD ORIENTEM.
It was taught in theology schools since Vatican II that the bishop is the "chief liturgist" in his diocese. Usually a task he performed with the consultation of some professional liturgist [mostly female]. Hence the reason why the N.O. Mass is different from diocese to diocese.
Yesterday I finished my lesson about five minutes early and told my students they could just sit and talk to each other until the bell. Almost immediately, a handful of phones came out. I stopped them. “No phones today. I want you to actually talk to each other.” There was a unified sigh of annoyance… and then something both beautiful and unsettling happened. Within a few minutes, a few desks came to life — kids were looking one another in the eye, asking questions, laughing, building real conversations. It was genuinely heartwarming to watch. But many of them froze. They didn’t know what to do without a screen delivering entertainment. Some lowered their heads. Some stared at their hands. Some avoided eye contact completely. I walked over and tried to help them get a conversation going. A few could force out a sentence or two — most had no idea where to start. I’m sharing this not as a complaint, but as a warning shot for parents, grandparents, teachers, coaches — anyone raising …More
Basil the Great @BasilTheGreat U.S GOVERNMENT THREATENS UK WITH SANCTIONS OVER X BAN "If he does this we will not only sanction Starmer, but Britain as a whole" "Starmer should reconsider this course of action, or there will be consequences." Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna said this earlier as she made clear the United States is not messing around anymore The crackdowns on freedom of speech MUST STOP
An account of my discovery of and subsequent journey with the headcovering/veil in the post Vatican II Church.. by Maria delos Angeles ------------------- I have been going up to women . I felt an inner calling to do so., in churches in the Westminster diocese and said to them, quite naturally - nothing forced , nothing condescending.., "from one woman to another .." Entre nous., I believe you are missing some blessing here .. There was a look coming from a deep place in the psyche of all of those woman with whom I spoke - unveiled in Church, unveiled before the Blessed Sacrament , which when I spoke them about this important subject.. , it seems to me that what I was conveying to them bypassed the critical faculties - as if it was going to the depths of the mystery of her womanhood into the very depths of her soul . That she acknowledged the truth of what I was saying to her - I believe because of where I was coming from with it.. Initially some women reacted at bit with some pride .…More

StarBoySAR @StarboySAR Trump to Big Oil: "Please loot Venezuela for me" Big Oil to Trump: "Nah, We're good". A hilarious scene unfolded in the White House. The president, promising "total security," tried to rally oil execs for a Venezuela investment blitz. The response? A masterclass in capitalist realism Why the skepticism? For years, Washington weaponized sanctions to strangle Venezuela’s oil industry (you know, “humanitarian concern” my ass)—freezing assets, blacklisting companies, and making it impossible to invest without getting on Uncle Sam’s bad side. Now Trump’s like “Oops, never mind! Come spend billions!” ExxonMobil's CEO didn't mince words: Venezuela is "uninvestible." Not because of sanctions they once cheered for, but due to a lack of "legal and commercial frameworks." The same cowboys who drilled in Iraq's war zones now want "stability guarantees" from a country the US sanctioned into the ground. Because this time the regime-change project is too messy, even for …More

True.I recall when my sister-in-law said she finally felt accepted as part of our big ethnic family when my father had an argument with her. Prior to that he was always coolly polite to her since he wasn't sure yet what to think of her as a wife for his son.
