for Iran, the Iranian people, and all innocent people caught in the crossfire of the united state's and its genocidal proxy-state's bloodlust, find nothing but peace, safety, and security. may the united states and its proxy know God's justice. may They show them the consequence of needless bloodshed and disregard for human life

A Litany For Peace In Troubled Times

God the Father, have mercy on us. God the Son, have mercy on us. God the Holy Spirit, have mercy on us. Holy and blessed Trinity, one God, have mercy on us.

In these days of trouble, fear and sorrow, have mercy on us. In our despair at the violence that seems to fill the world, have mercy on us. In the pain of lost life and shattered hopes, have mercy on us. In our grieving for those who have died, have mercy on us. In our compassion for all who are bereaved, have mercy on us.

From the history of violence that corrupts every society and our own, O Lord, deliver us. From the greed and injustice that divide the world into rich and poor, O Lord, deliver us. From the urge for revenge that adds to the cycle of violence, O Lord, deliver us. From the fear that grows into hatred for people who are different, O Lord, deliver us. From being too quick to attribute blame and demand retribution, O Lord, deliver us. From believing ourselves safe through anything other than your grace, O Lord, deliver us.

For those who plan and carry out acts of violence, Lord, hear our prayer. For all who seek justice and ensure the rule of law, Lord, hear our prayer. For the victims of war and terrorism everywhere on earth, Lord, hear our prayer. For all who live in fear, and for refugees from violent regimes, Lord, hear our prayer. For courage to resist demonising and dehumanising others, Lord, hear our prayer. For wisdom in choosing the paths of peace, Lord, hear our prayer. For solidarity with the suffering of the dispossessed, Lord, hear our prayer. For generosity in sharing fairly the world’s resources, Lord, hear our prayer. For respect in conversation with people of other faiths, and none, Lord, hear our prayer. For honesty in knowing and confessing the sin in our own hearts, Lord, hear our prayer. For grace to change and be changed as you forgive us, Lord, hear our prayer. For rescue workers and medical teams treating those injured in conflict zones, Lord, hear our prayer. For aid agencies and their workers, responding with practical care in dangerous places, Lord, hear our prayer. For the leaders of all the nations, looking for ways to work together beyond fear and suspicion, Lord, hear our prayer. For people of goodwill, responding generously to the needs of suffering communities, Lord, hear our prayer. For all who have friends and family involved in areas of conflict and disaster, Lord, hear our prayer. For communities that are terrified by missiles, snipers, vigilantes or death squads, Lord, hear our prayer. For the vulnerable and defenseless in conflict zones, for the children, the elderly, the disabled, the sick: Lord, hear our prayer.

For Christ to bring all the peoples of the world into one flock with one shepherd, we pray to you, O God. For Christ to bring healing and comfort for those we love who are sick or in mourning, we pray to you, O God. For Christ to lead us into the paths of peace, writing the law of love on our hearts, we pray to you, O God. For Christ to bring us, with all who have died in faith, to a joyful resurrection, we pray to you, O God.

God of all peace, have mercy on our broken and divided world, and on your people who cry out to you for healing, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen

been watching the x files spinoff, The Lone Gunmen, with my partner and friends recently. you may know it as the show that got canceled for accidentally predicting and depicting 9/11 but that really can't prepare you for how batshit it actually is

may God grant JD Vance the light of seeing his true vocation within the Church he has entered: joining a cloistered monastery under a vow of silence so he leaves us all alone.

[daughterofapollo123]

I want to leave the JD Vance and destiel memes aside for just a moment to tell you all guys that I, personally, as a Catholic, mourn the loss of Pope Francis.

Over the 12 years that he spent at the helm of the Holy See, Pope Francis proved himself one of the most progressive and reform-minded Supreme Pontiffs we have had, perhaps ever, the pleasure of being led by.

For all his personal failings and blunders -and believe me, there's a list- he did tremendous work on dragging Canon Law and the institutions that make up the Catholic Church towards becoming a better and more modern version of themselves. I can only hope that whoever is chosen as his successor will be even half as committed to internal reform as Francis was, and that he will continue the work Francis sadly leaves unfinished.

Descanse en Paz.
