This is so shamelessly earnest but I truly cannot wait for Advent like. The coziness of coming into a church when it’s been decorated for the holidays!! Nativity scenes!! The Advent candles!! Reflecting on the journey to Bethlehem!! The quiet excitement in the dark because even when there is hardship, we know that He is coming!!!

ok but literally...

To look to Christ is to look to the poor. To reach out to the poor is to reach out and touch the flesh of Christ.

“Jesus cooks and does the laundry. This, by far, is the most striking feature of the resurrection stories in John’s gospel. The first thing he does after he’s resurrected is to fold the laundry. And the last thing he does on earth is to cook a meal for a friends.”

— David R. Henson

art of the dormition/assumption never shows mary of nazareth as an older woman. the catholic imagination is so terrified of losing her to abjection and rupture that she is not only not afforded a corpse (with all its wonderful sacraments of sick), but her body is indeed not allowed to bare age at all. what would our faith look like if it left space for the aging, alteric body of the m/Mother?

LGBT activists and their supporters gather for the first-ever Pride parade in the central city of Plock, Poland, on Aug. 10, 2019. The parade comes as the country finds itself bitterly divided over the growing visibility of the LGBT community and as the government and the powerful Catholic church denounce gay rights as a threat to society.
