ATTENTION: Children of God.
Please read until the end.
He ain’t heavy he’s my brother.
Let’s play four square.
Rules of the game:
STEP UP.
STEP SIDE.
STEP BACK.
STEP DOWN.
A perfect square.
Of equal sides.
Beats the never ending circle, the “rings” of specificity and exactness.
Possibly why geometry is the diagonal choice for some.
Statistics the choice for the others.
Algebra the choice for the others.
True or False:
Or.
Quote of the day:
Love is knowing how a person prefers their sandwich cut🥪🥪🥪🥪
The rest🫔🍔🌮🌭🥠is open to interpretation😳☺️.
They say that some games are a game of
Inches.☺️.
Clarity comes in the oddest of moments.
The saddest of moments.
The scariest of moments.
The desperate of moments.
Confrontation makes strange bedfellows.
Strange bedfellows. Indeed.
Looking over our shoulders of a lifetime kinda scary.
The real story.
Of Saint Valentine.
Minus: The potential of moneymaking US $$ to rake in approximately 26 billion in dollars.
That is “b”, not “m”.
(fbs)
Money=$$$$= “Love….. A new algebraic equation.
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Decisions.
Decisions.

Saint Valentine’s Day
A Perspective.
July 6, hma.*
The patron Saint of Terni, epilepsy and beekeepers.
Sounds less than romantic, right?
Or, is it.
Multiple Choice:
Terni is:
Middle ground.
Big water.
Between two rivers.
Steely.
Steely mills afforded Terni to develop and have a role in the Second Industrial Revolution.
You say you want a Revolution.
Well, You know………
We are all doing what we can.
Indeed.
Hungry for a bowl of spaghetti yet?
I thought so.
Provided it is gluten free, of course,🥹
For those seeking love.
A thorned crown may be the answer you are honestly seeking.
Pope Nicholas IV wore a crown of thorns adorned with flowers.
Perhaps this relates to why the so called love of our life is only heard in our minds as a nagging headache of whining, droning wining and dining…….
Enter.
The martyr.
Hieromartyr to be exact.
Guzzling the wine in private, in quiet when all else, all others, went in another direction. A crucifer or a crucifix-ee. For those who clutch the answer, Jesus was given a sponge-full of the stuff while being crucified in the cross..
Yep.
Wine.
Just as he was wailing, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?
Yep.
Beats a dozen roses delivered at our door as a “surprise.”
Of love.
Of devotion.
Yep.
A wet sloppy kiss from a dog.
Priceless.😀
One who dies for his beliefs.
Priceless.
CAUTION:
No advocation of anything deathly.
Only.
Life-ly.
There is a lot of goodness to be had, to be taken.
Gently, of course.
A triage.
Three Saints are noted in connection with Saint Valentine. That prove us worthy to celebrate February 14.
As a day of devotion.
Three Saints:
One, a Roman priest,
One, a bishop of modern Italy,
One, a saint who suffered on the same day with a number of companions in the Roman province of Africa.
Nothing more is known. About the third saint.
Interesting.
I would start praying if I were you………
Catch up has its consequences……………
Valentine: Derives from the words worthy, strong, powerful. Popular in Late Antiquity.
Late Antiquity: Spanning from the end of classical antiquity to the local start of the Middle Ages.
No chance of escape.
No matter who is used.
Love is a fickle beast.
To be wrestled to the ground.
In effect, the Saint of love, Saint Valentine’s Day is commerated on February 14 because he was a martyr, because he was martyred. From within and those around,
Who believed in his power.
Who believed in the power of prayer.
His remains.
His ashes, per se, remain and are deposited in Madrid. In Saint Anton’s church where they have lain since the late 1700’s. The remains were present from the Pope to King Carlos IV, who entrusted them to the Order of a poor Clerics Regular of the Mother of God of the Pious Schools. (Piaristas) the relics have been displayed since 1984, in a foundation open to the public at all times in order to help people in need. (wk)
Relic.
We are all destined to be a relic.
Are we all honorable to take on the role?…..Worthy pilgrim of God?
We all know how we operate.
And. So. Does. He.
God knows our hearts.
Even in the year 2024. With so much “proof” at our sometimes questionable finger tips………
Walking the walk.
Further.
On Saint Valentine’s Day in Ireland, many individuals who seek true love make a Christian pilgrimage to the Shrine of Saint Valentine in Whitefriar Street Carmelite Churchnin Dublin, which is said to house relics of Saint Valentine of Rome, they pray at the shrine in the hope of finding romance. (wk)
Saint Valentine’s relics can also be found in Slovakia in two cities. The first is Sastin, where the relic is found in the Immaculate Conception (placed in 1720). The second is Novaky, which they had in the church of Sat.Nicholas and the rare statue of Saint Valentine, which was stolen in the ‘90’s…..(according to one saved original,part of the statue- the head—a new copy was created, which was ceremonial,y placed in the church in 2,000. (wk)
Fast forward to 2024.
Sounds eerily similar to movements and ceremonial wrecking of sacred monuments and statues of late……of late movements…….of late…..
For what?
For why?
For love?
For money?
To be heard.
When all else fails.
And we all do. Fail.
In the end. Knowing how a person prefers their sandwich cut is oftentimes the most intimate way to show love. As we grow, mature, expect to venture out on a life of and on our own.
Sounds ridiculous to some. Sure.
Sounds like security to another. Certain.
Safe to say.
No one “likes” to admit they are vulnerably hungry.
Not safe to do: Steal. Out from another person’s nose.
There are still a few days left. To start your prayer chain catch up.
My apologies it has taken you awhile to believe.
As for me, based on principles and principle, I learned early:
For me and my house will serve the Lord.
Happy Birthday Samuel!
You are a true gift from God😃
