On Twitter break, but loved this quote from today's saint, Francis de Sales: "Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew."

“Christmas” The bells of waiting Advent ring, The Tortoise stove is lit again And lamp-oil light across the night Has caught the streaks of winter rain. In many a stained-glass window sheen From Crimson Lake to Hooker's Green.

The bells of waiting Advent ring,
The Tortoise stove is lit again
And lamp-oil light across the night
Has caught the streaks of winter rain.
In many a stained-glass window sheen

Кожна російська бомба, ракета, снаряд на українській землі остаточно вбивають міфи про «Святу Русь» та «триєдиний народ». «Русскій мір» приніс на нашу землю страшне горе, тому належить назавжди порвати з цією закривавленою шовіністичною ідеологією.

What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful. — Benedict XVI


No, that’s bouzouki. Pelagius is a landlocked country in South America where Jesuit missions converted the Guarani natives.

No, that’s Pegasus. Pelagius is a Mediterranean stringed instrument you probably know from that dance in Zorba the Greek.

« Glorieux Nicolas, menez-nous au port du salut où sont paix et gloire. Obtenez-nous du Seigneur, par vos secourables prières, l'onction qui sanctifie ; cette onction qui a guéri les blessures de tant d’iniquités. Qu'à jamais soient dans la joie ceux qui célèbrent cette fête. »

Almighty God, who, for the defence of the veneration of sacred images, didst endue blessed John Damascene with heavenly doctrine and wondrous strength of spirit: grant unto us, by his intercession that we may imitate the virtues and perceive the advocacy of those images we honour
