Quote of the Day
Traci Rhoades@tracesoffaith (Oct 2, 2023) I don’t think I’m ever gonna call this app anything but Twitter. Does that make me old?
Fr. Joseph Krupp@Joeinblack (Oct 2, 2023) After Mom died, I asked dad if he wanted to move into the rectory with me, and he agreed. His first night in the rectory, the emergency line rang at 2:30 AM. I jumped out of bed and threw my Cassock on, got the dog ready and opened my bedroom door to find dad standing there with his rosary and iPad in hand. He has joined me for every hospice, hospital, and death call since he moved in with me. He stays in the car and prays his rosary, watches the dog and if I take too long, he plays sudoku. This is the man I was blessed to grow up with, a man he has spent 87 years becoming. This is the man I model my life after. Fidelity, service, strength under control, sacrifice…all of that and more. Happy birthday dad. I love you so very much.

Owl! at the Library ��♀️@SketchesbyBoze: (Oct 3, 2023) call me crazy but I want a society where everyone from the artist to the janitor is paid a living wage, where creative hobbies and careers aren’t being stolen by machines, where poetry and music and literature are celebrated and respected.

1. “Praise God for all his creatures”. This was the message that Saint Francis of Assisi proclaimed by his life, his canticles and all his actions. In this way, he accepted the invitation of the biblical Psalms and reflected the sensitivity of Jesus before the creatures of his Father: “Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these” (Mt 6:28-29). “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten in God’s sight” (Lk 12:6). How can we not admire this tenderness of Jesus for all the beings that accompany us along the way!-LAUDATE DEUM

Quotes of the Day
Tom@DigestTom (Oct 4, 2023) If trads walked into a Mass during the Middle Ages, “Great Age of Faith” that they idolize, they’d have a heart attack. If not at seeing animals roaming around, then maybe when the peasant cries out “Heave it higher Sir Priest!” or a guy breaks a paxbrede over a clerk’s head
Meg Hunter-Kilmer@MegHunterKilmer (Oct 4, 2023) I was praying about a possible job which would mean a possible home so then a possible walk to work so then possibly walking in bad weather so then POSSIBLE RAIN BOOTS and I sat up straight with a giant grin because when you live out of a Corolla you don’t get to have rain boots.

Quotes of the Day
Old Haunted Tree �@OldHollowTree (October 5, 2023) You need to be bobbing for apples. You need to be trying to eat a donut hanging from a string. You need to be showing your children that their strong father can be an autumnal goofball capable of joyful abandon.
Melody Lyons@melodymlyons (October 5, 2023)
Carrying a pregnancy to term is a natural act that is consonant with the design of the body. Allowing the development of the child to progress isn’t force. Abortion is force. Forced entry. Forced death of a human. Forced disruption of biologically normative process….A man being paid to forcibly open the cervix and enter a woman’s body with instruments of harm is a violation of two bodies. The physical and emotional consequences of such an act of violence should not be ignored, especially in women who have been previously traumatized by rape. The pro-abortion movement abandons these women in their trauma.
Owl! at the Library ��♀️@SketchesbyBoze (October 5, 2023) I love reading Shakespeare because he’ll go “here’s a shattering insight about death” and then he’ll go “here are twenty puns about sex” in the same speech.
Peter T Chattaway@ptchat (October 5, 2023) Has any movie ever had as many competing and mutually contradictory sequels and prequels as #TheExorcist? Five movies and one TV series that don’t agree with each other *at all*. Even #TheTerminator isn’t so convoluted. (At least one of *those* sequels is considered canonical.)

Quote of the Day
Emily Katherine@EmilyKath319 (October 7, 2023) Purgatory may be akin to being an overnight guest, waking up fairly early, and fairly hungry, and wondering how long you have to politely lay there since you need to kinda wait for your host to wake up first, and laying there thinking about it makes every minute seem like an hour
