Just because you did something wrong in the past doesn’t mean you can’t advocate against it now. It doesn’t make you a hypocrite. You just grew. Don’t let people use your past to invalidate your current mindset.
Bruh. This needs to be a mandatory post on everybody’s blog. Y'all really be pullin out decade old receipts like woah.
Padre Pio told Fra Alberto of another apparition of a soul from Purgatory which also occurred around the same time. He said:
One evening, when I was absorbed in prayer in the choir of the little church I was shaken and disturbed by the sound of footsteps, and candles and flower vases being moved on the main altar. Thinking that someone must be there, I called out, “Who is it?”
No one answered. Returning to prayer, I was again disturbed by the same noises. In fact, this time I had the impression that one of the candles, which was in front of the statue of Our Lady of Grace, had fallen. Wanting to see what was happening on the altar, I stood up, went close to the grate and saw, in the shadow of the light of the Tabernacle lamp, a young confrere doing some cleaning. I yelled out, “What are you doing in the dark?” The little friar answered, “I am cleaning.”
“You clean in the dark?” I asked. “Who are you?”
The little friar said, ‘I am a Capuchin novice, who spends his time of Purgatory here. I am in need of prayers.’ and then he disappeared,“
Padre Pio stated that he immediately began praying for him as requested, and it is not known if he had any further dealings with this particular soul. However, in regards souls in Purgatory it is very interesting to note that later in life Padre Pio once said that ‘As many souls of the dead come up this road [to the monastery] as that of the souls of the living.” Without a doubt, many souls from Purgatory visited Padre Pio seeking his prayers, sacrifices and sufferings to obtain their release.

I have been told that I “shouldn’t be so picky” because I want someone whose beliefs align with mine. The people who say that to me are not the ones who will have to deal with the relationship when things go south. I will.
I am waiting for the one God has for me. I am not going to change my standards to please the world. I pray that I can be the wife of a traditional Catholic man and the mother of many children someday.
If the world doesn′t like that, oh well. Only God’s approval matters.
you fools thinking that all of you get your own fbi agent to vent to. only official registered anne tifa soldiers get their own. there’s a shortage. your own fbi agent while you’re not a danger to the nation? in this economy? tsk tsk
A thread on Twitter this morning. Guys, don’t pirate comics. Please. Comics is a very small (mostly) creator run industry, so when you scan or torrent a comic, you’re directly hurting the creators. Even if you pirate comics from major publishers, you’re really only denying the creators of their income.
Artists/writers who work on comics make next to nothing. It’s commonplace in the comics industry for the people that make them to be constantly struggling to make ends meet. Just buy a book here and there. Support a Patreon. If you like the work, support it. We work very long hours to make the content you’re enjoying. We would like to not have to worry about how we’re going to buy food while we do it.
Don’t ever encourage others to just ‘read a comic’ online if you have the chance to buy the original. When I was at a con I saw my favorite online comic artist and it made me so sad to see how empty his stall was. I didn’t have much money so I bought a poster from him and encouraged/bribed my friend in buying his comic. He was so happy he gave me a free pin! (this is the artist btw)
Don’t ever think ‘someone else will do it’. BE that person! Help your fellow favorite artists :) you can afford it, even if a little. Show them how much you love their work
