At RCIA the teacher was asking “what would you do if God gave you a gift wrapped box and said ‘this is my love?’” And someone said “I’ll take it and run” 😭
Omg Tiny Saints added Tolkien to their collection 😭
if no one has told you today, God's not mad at you
"Wow, you religious types are very dogmatic. Who are you to say what or who God is? You can't put God in a box!"
Unlike New Age or "spiritual" types who just make stuff up, everything that I say about God is (or should be) weighed against over 3000 years of God's self-revelation and 2,000 years of interpretation of that revelation by the infallible teaching authority of a Church he founded. You can't put God in a box, but you can say God loves us enough to tell us something about himself, that once said, can't be contradicted.
hate how normalised drag culture is. if you don’t like it everyone thinks you’re a homophobic freak but really it’s just so misogynistic imo
But do you know?? he LOVES you?? He’s *pining* for you??? You’re out doing your own thing and God’s across the way watching you pierced through with longing?? You catch his eye and it’s like lightning??? He’s watching and hoping and waiting and pining and that agony where you hope so much it feels like dying he really went through for you?? He died for you while you hardly acknowledged he existed??? The times where the other person seems unattainable and yet you gotta stick with them you gotta work for their good but it feels like a knife in your chest and one kind word is enough to fuel you for a thousand years?? He knows that?? For you??? Not cause he needs you for anything but cause he loves you that bad??? One crumb his way he’d rejoice over!! And why are we giving a love like that only crumbs!!!
no one will ever be able to make polygamy or polyamory sound normal to me. y'all are weird fr

In the name of Jesus, I reject the idea that my prayers are useless.

pray about it. your mood swings, your temper, your ego, your insecurities, your mindset, your self-love, your emotional state, your environment, your relationships, your lack of motivation, your lack of execution, your attraction to bad people. give God every piece of you and every vessel. pray about it all. power of prayer is indescribable.
“It may be relevant that I’m Catholic, and so supernatural events are not entirely ruled out. One time I was going to write a book which was sort of ‘The Exorcist in San Bernardino.’ … I got a book by Malachi Martin which was actual transcripts of exorcisms—dialogues between priests and devils—and I thought, ‘Cool! Wow, boy, I’ve got all my research right here. This is great.’ And I opened the book, and on the first page it says, ‘The author and publisher advise that anyone reading this book say the following prayer before and after each chapter.’ And I slammed it shut and thought, ‘Well, I don’t need that. Uh-uh. I ain’t doing that.’”

Me every time I get a crush on a boy: it’s a test from God it’s a test from God it’s a test from God it’s a test from God it’s a test from God it’s a test from God

new atheists deride religion as “primitive superstition” but when you hear their take on what religion is it’s clear they have the shallowest concept of it
sometimes you just find golden tweets like this
Getting a notebook just for religious thoughts and notes is the best thing I’ve ever done why didn’t I listen to my friends sooner.
Finally met a mother with a beautiful young boy who could possibly be my sponsor for my baptism, I’m so happy!
