“I’m playing chess. I don’t know how to play chess. But life is a chess game for me.”

Thought for the Day
The harder it gets to keep it together,
the more important it gets.
Thought for the Day
If the thing is inauthentic, don’t worry about it.
Don’t worry if you lose it.
Don’t worry if it breaks.
Don’t worry if you can’t complete that project.
Don’t worry if it all burns. Because it had to anyway, someday.
So we could get back to God and nature.
Let it come and let it be. Something better will replace it all.
Thought for the Day
If your life feels impossible, that’s either coming from yourself or others. Never from God. The Holy Ghost will guide you in creating a new life that you can manage. It might mean making painful decisions for the overall good. He will also give you the grace you need. Trust and never give up. Hope is a virtue.
Thought for the Day
Observing my purple and green snow peas today, latching onto each other (much to my chagrin, when they are supposed to be latching onto their individual viners), this thought came to me, which is something I repeatedly have meditated on…think of how unnatural it is that cars cannot touch…think of what was done to us during Covidland….
Things want to touch in nature, to interact. This inauthentic culture wants people and things to avoid this interaction. Even make it deadly.
Thought for the Day
“If there is memory, there is a way back.”
(I’m sure this has been said many times.)
Another Post-Holy Door Thought
To be a saint is to live fully in reality.
Thought for the Day
We are now immersed in an omni-front attack vector world. This is war. Just getting through the day is now a military-grade evasion operation. If you don’t understand this, you have not been paying attention and you need to get up to speed really fast.
And if you don’t believe the world is that dark, just take a look at Our Blessed Lord upon the cross once again.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day / Thoughts for the Day
SAINT PATRICK, PRAY FOR US!
From today’s trad Mass:
O God, Who didst deign to send blessed Patrick, Thy confessor and bishop, to preach Thy glory to the nations, grant, through his merits and intercession, that those commands which Thou dost set before us we may by Thy mercy be able to fulfill.
Grant, we beseech Thee, O Almighty God, that, giving thanks for the favors we have received, we may, by the intercession of blessed Patrick, Thy confessor and bishop, obtain blessings still greater. Amen.
