Just attended my first gay wedding at a church, God is good!

I used to say Hail Mary's often to pray for others when I saw prayer requests online, and what I liked about that was that I didn't need to improvise something so it took away the pressure, but it's long enough and dense enough that I still felt like I was giving proper attention and care to the prayer request, and because it's a set form I could focus my mind on the intention while praying.

However, my practice has been changing and I don't really feel comfortable anymore with praying to Mary quite so much. But now I don't really have that go-to for praying for others anymore, and I really miss it, and I haven't found a good replacement.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

evangelicals being like "god made men to do This and be like This and women to do That and be like That that's just how it is" and it's just a picture of a white man and woman following traditional gender norms makes me so insane like you boring fascist fucks. god made 2 million species of beetles. god made whales, ducks, humans, and 1500 other species capable of same sex behavior. god made fish and amphibians that change sexes. god made more than 30 different intersex variations in human beings. god, in his infinite curiosity. wake up!!! fuck!!

Hey man, some of the sheep have got to wander the desert from time to time

I can't bring myself to worship. i need time, to reevaluate, reconstruct, heal, break away from how religion has been taught to me. but will heaven forgive me, if I abandon it for now? if i come back later?

are reevaluating, reconstructing, healing, abandoning, not forms of worship too

The last two things Pope Francis did were to call for peace in Gaza and tell JD Vance to fuck off. Iconic end.

While it may all look bleak, I know our God Jesus Christ will forever have our back. We are created uniquely and with love by the Most High. No political party or bigot can take that away from us. We must stay strong and close to Christ during this era in time. Community and faith are crucial.

People pointing to the fact that Sister Genevieve Jeanningros broke protocol, while ignoring that she was not mourning the Pope. She was mourning her closest friend, with whom she had been friend for DECADES.

The most touching, human and the strongest image for me since Pope Francis' passing.

Pray for Sister Genevieve Jeanningros, may she find comfort in our spiritual support in this deeply sad moment for her 🙏🏻

If there’s one thing to learn from the Bible it’s that God primarily chooses extremely flawed little weirdos to carry out his work
