Tw-wspomniane sh

Cześć gąsieniczki. Przykra wiadomość. Był dzisiaj napad :(( mega źle się z tym czuję. Nie dlatego że chciałam ale dlatego że mnie zmuszono. Rano też było ciężko. Zemdlałam dwa razy zanim końcowo się podniosłam chociaż i tak większość dnia przeleżałam w łóżku. Dobrą wiadomością jest to że przytyłam tylko jeden kilogram więc aż tak wiele nie straciłam chociaż dumna z siebie nie jestem. Zwymiotowałam większość i ukarałam siebie za opierdalanie się. Jechałam brzytwą trochę mocniej i piecze jak skurwysyn ale zasłużyłam sobie na to. Chcę zrobić fasta we wtorek i trzymać go albo do środy albo dłużej z resztą będę na bieżąco was informować. Dziękuję za (jak dla mnie) duży przyrost. Moje posty mają coraz więcej polubień i więcej osób zbiera się by pooglądać mój internetowy pamiętnik. Naprawdę mi miło ♡. Cieszę się że nie idę przez tą drogę sama. Życzę wam abyście nie popełnili tego błędu co ja. Żebyście mieli silną wolę i nie poddali się. Nie bądźcie słabi tak jak ja. Życzę wam jak najbardziej chudego wieczoru. Widzimy się jutro gąsieniczki.

All one thing

In today’s Gospel, Jesus gives us the familiar words of the Great Commandment.

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. And you shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

While it reads like two commandments, it really isn’t. It’s all one thing.

As St. Bede says, “neither of these two kinds of love is expressed with full maturity without the other, because God cannot be loved apart from our neighbor, nor our neighbor apart from God.”

Which means that if you’re trashing your neighbor, don’t imagine that things are right between you and God. The two loves are inseparable.

While the two are inseparable, the order is intentional. Because it’s an order of operation.

That is, if you “love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.” You will “love your neighbor as yourself.”

Why? Because you cannot love God without being loved by God.

And here’s the thing, the more you love God, the more you find yourself alive and overflowing with God’s love.

When you are alive with God’s love, it will spill over into every other part of your life. That’s why you end up loving your neighbor as yourself.

Because you literally cannot contain the love of God.

This is why St. Bede says that “neither of these two kinds of love is expressed with full maturity without the other, because God cannot be loved apart from our neighbor, nor our neighbor apart from God.”

And why St. John warns us that anyone who says “I love God” but hates his neighbor, is a liar.

A little advice from someone who’s stumbled on this one. Before you worry about anyone else living down to St. John’s warning, make sure you look in the mirror first.

Literature connected to Whitby:

Dracula by Bram Stoker

Marmion by Sir Walter Scott (sort of—he took the abbey's name and its founder's and transferred them to Lindisfarne)

The Ecclesiastical History of the English People by the Venerable Bede (the Synod of Whitby is the climax of the history's third volume)

Caedmon's Hymn (probably the oldest surviving English poem, composed at Whitby)

[ancestorsalive]

The Anglo-Saxon chronicler Bede gave us this simple explanation for the name of the festival. "Eostremonath has a name which is now called Paschal month, and which was once named after a goddess of theirs named Eostre, and in her honour feasts were held in that month. Now they name the Paschal season by her name, calling the joy of the new rite by the time-honoured name of the old rite." Nothing else is known about Eostre, although Jacob Grimm did speculate that the old German name Ostara was probably her cognate. He was trying to work backwards from traditions he saw in his time and it was only a theory, but it would be logical to assume a connection with Eostre in the lands the Anglo-Saxons originated from. Eggs and bunnies are not connected in any way to Eostre, these traditions come about much later on and within a Christian context. Eggs were prohibited during Lent so people would have had a glut of them to use at Easter, and I have no doubt lots of them were painted and blessed for the occasion. The Easter bunny was always a hare, never a rabbit, and hopped out of the mists of 17th century German Lutheran folklore. During the Medieval era it was also commonly believed that hares could impregnate themselves, leading to an association with Mary. So here's a medieval Easter bunny, a 14th century carving of a hare at, you guessed it, the Church of St Mary, at Elmley Castle in Worcestershire. Have a great Easter! ~ Hugh Williams On another note: "There is simply no evidence for this commonly repeated myth. It’s not factually true and is simply speculation by one monk in 725. There is no evidence that he was correct about this. There are no references or images of Eostre anywhere else or in anything else at all. He also documents Woden and Thor, but they are verified as deities that were worshiped, but not so with Eostre. In fact it appears to be far more probable that the name of the lunar month Eosturmonath is actually a reference to “the month of opening” for the rather obvious reason that it is springtime. When it comes to this goddess, we have no images, no carvings and no legends, just this single reference by Bede that appears to be speculation, and so that is why most folklorists will dismiss the assertion that Easter is named after the goddess Eostre as a myth. Ronald Hutton, expert in pre-Christian religion, argues that: "It is equally valid, however, to suggest that the Anglo-Saxon ‘Estor-monath’ simply meant ‘the month of opening’ or ‘the month of beginnings’, and that Bede mistakenly connected it with a goddess who either never existed at all, or was never associated with a particular season but merely, like Eos and Aurora, with the dawn itself.’3" Hard to find a better source than Prof Hutton." ~ Matt Lewis
