From morning prayer: “Arise, soldiers of Christ, throw away the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.” (St. Cecilia to her husband and brother-in-law before they were killed)
This is a slanted summary. The Church has opposed abortion since the first century, long before the U.S. and its politics existed. This teaching is not “right-wing.” You are not the arbiter of our faith. Her teaching is publicly available: vatican.va/archive/ccc_cs…
Friends, on Sunday I am saying goodbye to internet/email/phone and entering a monastery (not the one I had originally planned, but… Fiat, etc.!). Time to get serious about loving God and begging him for mercy and favor in these dark times. ✝️
Please pray for me today. I feel so spiritually weak and run-down and fatigued. Please just trace the sign of the cross over this tweet; thank you. ✝️✝️✝️
I’m back. The monastery is good, but cloistered life is too hard for me. I burned out at about three weeks. I was trying to be open to God’s direction, but at this point I feel like a car engine that has no oil left.
A former coworker of mine is dying. He doesn’t believe in God and has refused spiritual care even though it’s been offered. I don’t think he has much time left. Please pray God opens his eyes. His name is Jeff.
