Im Like If A Saint Was Also A Faggot

i’m like if a saint was also a faggot

The Creator has entrusted us with the task of performing these small, simple acts of goodness, reserving the grand schemes to Himself. Through our seemingly insignificant actions, the Divine works His greater purposes. Our Lord, who created the expanse of the universe from nothing, is adept at manifesting grandeur from the minuscule.

Archbishop John (Shahovskoy) of San Francisco

heyy, fellow Christian here (catholic)

I saw you say that you struggle with the idea that those that don't believe in Christ won't be saved, and i get it because some time ago i struggled with it too, but i have great news for you: the Church teaches that it isn't true!!

Like, what saves people is Grace, and while God surely does give Grace through the sacraments, He can also give it in extraordinary ways only He knows.

Which means that actually a person that doesn't know Christ might be more in Grace than a person that does but, for example, decides to sin and not repent.

Idk if this helps, but it gives me hope and peace so i hope it will bring them to you too

ps: i am not used to talk about religion in english, so i hope that what i wrote was at least understandable ckxjdk

It was really nice to hear that the church teaches this and that non-believers can receive God's Grace and loving mercy, thank you for telling me about this ❤️

“Every creature is a glittering, glistening mirror of divinity.”

— St. Hildegard of Bingen (via eternal-echoes)

thinking about the body as a temple and as a constantly-transforming artwork made by god. thinking about the body as something that does not belong to the earth, or your parents, but to god.

do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? you are not your own; you were bought at a price. therefore honor God with your bodies.

corinthians 6:19-20

francis, go and repair my house, which, as you see, is in ruins.

the major legend of saint francis by st. bonaventure

do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

romans 12:2

if my temple, my body, is in ruins, because of my conforming to the world--my conforming to what others expect from me... then my renewal (my active, compassionate, new understanding of myself and my gender, that brings me closer to god's transformative vision), my act of transitioning, is a holy act.
