The proof that we have "unnatural" characteristics is the unique possibility to draw something from reality and change specific things to refine our personal tastes. An animal can only comprehend what is being shown to them till a very limited level of surrealistic modifications, and a computer can't give any meaning to anything. A computer only copy what it is seen, and at most can only make changes if is programmed to do it, and even when it changes has no meaning behind it, but just what was said to do so.
The Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to St. Elizabeth Feast day: May 31 (New) July 2 (Trad)
And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord. And Mary said:
My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name. And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him. He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy: As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever. Luke (1:41-55)

Today, 14 of November is: St. Lorcán Ua Tuathail / Lawrence O'Toole / Laurent d'Eu
Nascut a Irlanda el 1128, Lawrence era fill del cap del clan Murray. Quan tenia 10 anys, va ser pres com a ostatge pel rei de Leinster, Dermonf McMurrough, que dos anys més tard el va enviar a l'abadia de Glendalough. El nen es va enamorar de la vida monàstica, i s'hi va quedar amb el permís del seu pare.
Als 25 anys va ser elegit abat de Galedalough, càrrec que va ocupar fins al 1162. Home d'acció i de pregària, es va comprometre a reformar els costums de l'Abadia, i va prestar especial atenció a la caritat cap als orfes abandonats.
El 1179 participà en el Tercer Concili General del Laterà, a Roma, quan el papa Alexandre III el va nomenar bisbe de Dublín i cinc diòcesis més d'Irlanda, a més de nomenar-lo el seu representant a l'illa.
El rei Enric II d'Anglaterra, incòmode amb tanta autoritat ofert a Dom Lourenço pel Sant Pare, va prohibir al bisbe tornar a Irlanda. Després de moltes negociacions, el monarca va acabar cedint i permetent que Lourenço tornés a l'illa, però el bisbe, ja vell i malalt, va morir durant el viatge, el 14 de novembre de 1180.
Canonitzat per Honori III l'any 1225, sant Llorenç O'Toole pertany al grup de sants que van patir pels petits interessos dels representants del poder temporal que no honraven els seus càrrecs perquè temien poc Déu i s'estimaven més que ell.
Sant Lawrence O'Toole, pregueu per nosaltres!

Born in Ireland in 1128, Lawrence was the son of the chief of the Clan Murray. When he was 10 years old, he was taken hostage by the King of Leinster, Dermonf McMurrough, who two years later sent him to Glendalough Abbey. The boy fell in love with the monastic life, and remained there with his father's permission.
At the age of 25 he was elected Abbot of Galedalough, a position he held until 1162. A man of action and prayer, he was committed to reforming the Abbey's customs, and paid special attention to charity towards abandoned orphans.
In 1179, he participated in the Third General Council of the Lateran, in Rome, when Pope Alexander III appointed him Bishop of Dublin and five other dioceses in Ireland, in addition to naming him his representative on the island.
King Henry II of England, uncomfortable with so much authority offered to Dom Lourenço by the Holy Father, banned the Bishop from returning to Ireland. After many negotiations, the monarch ended up giving in and allowing Lourenço to return to the island, but the Bishop, already elderly and ill, died during the trip, on November 14, 1180.
Canonized by Honorius III in 1225, Saint Lawrence O’Toole belongs to the group of Saints who suffered because of the petty interests of representatives of temporal power who did not honor their positions because they feared God little, and loved themselves more than Him.
Saint Lawrence O’Toole, pray for us!
