I am the light of the world, says the Lord;
whoever follows me will have the light of life.
I am the light of the world, says the Lord;

God made Man found His liberty in seeing Himself imprisoned in her womb. He made His omnipotence shine forth in letting Himself be carried by that humble maiden. He found His glory and His Father's in hiding His splendors from all creatures here below, and revealing them to Mary only. He glorified His independence and His majesty in depending on that sweet Virgin in His conception, in His birth, in His presentation at the temple, in His hidden life of thirty years, and even in His death, whee she was to be present in order that He might make with Her but one same sacrifice and be immolated to the Eternal Father by her consent, just as Isaac of old was offered by Abraham's consent to the will of God. It is she who nourished Him, supported Him, brought Him up and then sacrificed Him for us.
-St Louis de Montfort
Please never stop praying for everyone, especially for those who are apart from God, for those who don't care about Him or that just think He's an invented thing. Many of them are just lost in this world and in need of help. Let's pray so that God embraces their souls and helps them feel the need to approach Him.
Nowadays, people can't even understand the importance of marriage through the catholic church and think it's just some celebration that can be avoided. We're losing the values and morals we used to have in the past. We need to pray more and more.
This month of October, especially, I ask you all, brothers and sisters, please pray especially for the terrible celebration of october 31... because you guys know all the horrid stuff people do to offer to the devil... Let's pray for all people and for the animals so that God protect them all.
Blessings to you all.

ya’ll tumblr bitches need to read Midnight Feast by Martina Evans
just look at the asthetic:
Book Review | Midnight Feast
Author: Martina Evans
Cover Art: Ben Warner
Publication date: September 3, 1996
Genre: Catholic school fiction, coming of age
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
Midnight Feast is the dark and funny story of love in a convent boarding school. When sixteen year-old Grace arrives at Mayo, she immediately falls for the mercurial and glamorously thin Colette MacSweeney. She soon finds herself descending with Colette into life-threatening anorexia, entangled in the dysfunction that seethes below the surface of Colette’s family.
Midnight Feast is Martina Evans' first novel and even before its publication it won a Betty Task Award and was optioned for a film - which unfortunately never happened because this is such a masterpiece of a book.
This is the story of a 16 year old girl named Grace Jones when she's put in a Catholic boarding school in Ireland. And during her time in the school she meets Colette, a very problematic girl since she induces Grace into thinking that she is fat and that she should want to be as skinny as herself. Both get as skinny as a corpse and are diagnosed with anorexia. They also create a strange relationship - it's so weird I'm not even able to explain to you what it is.
I loved this book. Everything about it is fantastic. The plot is intriguing enough to get you addicted, and the words chosen to report the action and to describe the details are perfect. While reading I became so disgusted by anorexia and what it does to you that I insisted in eating well and regularly so that won't end up like them.
This is also a great book to spread awareness about eating disorders. I recommend it to young girls and boys who are entering secondary school since it is a time in your life in which you tend to follow everything that your friends do and you become really insecure about yourself.
As to the cover, it is just beautiful. I tried to find the name of the painting, but I couldn't. All I found was the name of the artist.
To conclude, this is a fantastic book and you should read it ;))
OOH YUH GO READ ITS POGCHAMP (TOTALLY NOT BEING HELD AT GUNPOINT RN /J) BUT YES IT IS VERY COOL, GO BESTIE, YOU USE YOUR #1 IN RELIGIOUS EDUCATION, OOH YUH 😎😎👍👍
Dreamsmp Biblical Parallels (pt 1?)
Sup nerds! I say, writing a ten page essay as to the biblical parallels of a minecraft server. Basically I kept making ‘Tommyinnit is Jesus jokes’ until I inevitably actually started thinking hard about it and realised how many parallels to the Bible the Dreamsmp has. So, of course: ten page essay. Hey, I didn’t get top of my year level in Religious Education and go to Catholic school all my life to NOT know things about the Bible.
Note: These are parallels between the stories! Certain characters are nothng like the Biblical figures they’re parallel with, but their story and characters are. I’ve modified certain situations to fit more, and some parallels are a lot more accurate than others! This is all for fun. This is me relating the Bible to Minecraft for gods sake!
Thanks to @nitpick7 and @alipadi for helping me with research, telling me if a joke is funny and for reading this. This is quite old because I kept forgetting to post it lol. Theres a lot more but I haven’t written it yet, hence the ‘part 1?’ because I don’t know when I’ll be continuing this
Tommyinnit and Jesus Christ
Tommyinnit is the son of God himself, Jesus Christ. He died, then three days later rose again in Pandora’s Vault (the equivalent to Jesus’ tomb). He was resurrected by God (Dream, sorta, you’ll see how I contradict myself in the next couple of sentences). During Lent, Jesus spent 40 days alone in the desert with only the Devil and his temptations for company. Tommy, during his exile, spent like a week alone in the wilderness with only Dream (who is also Satan, this is where I contradict myself) and his manipulation for company.
Tommy was willing to sacrifice himself for the good of the people he loves, Jesus literally did just that for all of us. Jesus was hated and inevitably killed for what he stood for, and Tommy is hated and has died, and probably will continue to die for what he stands for (A large percentage of the Pharisees found Jesus ANNOYING. So if you didn’t, please consider getting baptised). When Jesus died, he went to Hell and presumably fist fought Satan. When Tommy died, he went to his Hell, didn’t fist fight Satan, but was confronted with Alivebur and his competitive solitare, which might as well be the same thing /j.
And as a funnier, more weird parallel, if we’re assuming Tommy’s mother is the Samsung Refrigerator, then we can draw parallels to The Virgin Mary. Samsung Refrigerators, unsurprisingly, can’t have kids, a similar thing with Mary’s whole ‘ever virgin’ thing. Basically I’m saying the fridge went through the Immaculate Conception.
Tubbo Underscore and Simon Peter
Simon Peter was Jesus’ best friend and right hand, and Tubbo is what Simon Peter was to Jesus to Tommy. To start, Peter was Jesus’ most trusted disciple, like Tubbo is Tommy’s best friend. Since the beginning of his following Peter was there for Jesus, and the same goes with Tubbo to Tommy.
Peter is ‘the cornerstone’ or ‘the foundation’ of the Church and established it as it is today. Tubbo was seen as the ‘heart of L’manburg’ and his presidency was arguably the most useful, productive and peaceful rule (The Church as far as I know hasn’t been blown up three times though). When Tommy and Wilbur (who I’ll get to in a bit) both turned down the presidency, Wilbur handed it off to Tubbo, like Jesus gave Peter the responsibility of leading the Church without Jesus.
Peter denied Jesus three times like Jesus said he would, and Tommy knew that Tubbo didn’t really trust him during Exile. Instead of denying Tommy, Tubbo doubts Tommy. The first is right before Exile when he makes the choice to exile Tommy because he doubts Tommy can change, the second is Tubbo believing Tommy’s dead and doubting he’s alive, and the third is Tommy’s actual death and doubting that he’s dead.
In the iconic story of ‘Jesus walks on water’, Peter plays a prominent role. That moment on the water, instead of it being that Peter becomes afraid while walking towards Jesus, it’s that Tubbo gives up trying to fight Tommy. In the blown up community house, the day before Doomsday, Tommy and Tubbo have their iconic fight with the line ‘The discs were worth more than you ever were!’.
This is our metaphorical ‘walking on water moment’, but instead of Peter walking to Jesus, its Tubbo and Tommy being torn further apart. When the iconic disc line is said by Tommy, that’s our version of Peter’s fear on the water. Tubbo suddenly realises what’s happening and stops fighting entirely, ready to let himself drown. But, like Jesus came to grab Peter out of the water, Tommy stands by Tubbo.
Wilbur Soot/Ghostbur and The Holy Spirit
I’m aware how strange this one is. But hear me out, because I’m also aware that I’m really smart (/j). The Holy Spirit is what gives the Disciples hope, courage, the fire in them to go out and do stuff. Wilbur had and has a similar effect, but in a weird way. Let’s break this down.
L’manburg Wilbur gave the people of L’manburg the hope and the courage to emancipate themselves from the Dreamsmp. He gave Tommy the courage to duel Dream for what he stood for. He gave Tubbo a purpose. He gave Fundy a home. And he gave Eret, though they didn’t end up keeping it, something to fight for. During The L'manburg era, Wilbur was their courage, their hope, their energy for what they did. He was their Holy Spirit.
After Jesus’ ascension, the disciples wait for the Holy Spirit. During Elections, Wilbur’s character based around giving people courage dies and spirals into something dark and cold. This is the 40 days leading up to Pentecost. There is no courage, no hope, no anything, just fear and desperation. When Wilbur dies on November 16th, all courage and hope dies with him. Wilbur takes his apostles’ faith down with him.
Then there’s our metaphorical Pentecost: the rebuilding of New L’manburg and Ghostbur’s appearance. Wilbur returns as something resembling original L’manburg Wilbur, but not actually that courage and bravery. He returns as Ghostbur, who resembles Wilbur but not in the same ways. This is like how at Pentecost, the Apostles are gifted with the Holy Spirit, but no Jesus. They’re still on their own, but they have the bravery to move on and go out to spread the word and rebuild the Church. In the Dreamsmp, Ghostbur’s return helps spark the rebuilding of New L’manburg.
Ghostbur gives what Wilbur did give and couldn’t give throughout his life. He’s Tommy’s comfort during his exile. He’s Tubbo’s guidance during his presidency. He’s Fundy’s closure. He’s Techno and Phil’s reminder. Ghostbur is a different kind of bravery and purpose than Wilbur was, but it’s still the Holy Spirit within each of them nonetheless. And even without physical presence, he’s still there (Wilbur Soot my beloved I miss your streams king).
thank you God for continuing to show me Your unending grace and light. Lord, keep my heart soft and my soul kind, despite the world around me being harsh and uncaring. i know i can find unlimited love in Your embrace.
