a great and terrible beauty by libba bray

“Shall I tell you a story? A new and terrible one? A ghost story? Are you ready? Shall I begin? Once upon a time there were four girls. One was pretty. One was clever. One charming, and one...one was mysterious. But they were all damaged, you see. Something not right about the lot of them. Bad blood. Big dreams. They were all dreamers, these girls. One by one, night after night, the girls came together. And they sinned. Do you know what that sin was? No one? Pippa? Ann? Their sin was that they believed. Believed they could be different. Special. They believed they could change what they were--damaged, unloved. Cast-off things. They would be alive, adored, needed. Necessary. But it wasn't true. This is a ghost story remember? A tragedy. They were misled. Betrayed by their own stupid hopes. Things couldn't be different for them, because they weren't special after all. So life took them, led them, and they went along, you see? They faded before their own eyes, till they were nothing more than living ghosts, haunting each other with what could be. With what can't be. There, now. Isn't that the scariest story you've ever heard?”

Doing my annual Gemma Doyle Trilogy reread and i have to say, Hester Asa Moore aka Sarah Rees-Toome is my problematic fav-- i would pay money to read an entire prequel book about her and Mary at Spence, especially because this is the first time I picked up on the queer subtext between her and Mary and yeah they were in love, you cannot convince me otherwise

sometimes I'll encounter a passing mention of some old media I read/watched and my brain will spontaneously produce a 6-page meta on the spot like it's a lie detector printout

Not too disheartened about the end of summer because Autumn is just as mesmerising 🍂 red wine, landscapes that look like paintings, hot teas and cosy blankets here we come. 🍁🍂 🍷

- Felicity Worthington (Gemma Doyle Trilogy)

[oatbrew]

out of all the ya book-to-series/movie pipeline picks that were never made, libba bray’s gemma doyle trilogy is the most underrated and deserving. like period setting boarding school backdrop, secret order of witches premise, rage and tragedy undergirding the narrative, proto-feminist themes… plus a male lead doubling as love interest and antagonist who challenges the racism and colonialism coconstitutive to victorian patriarchy that’s inherent to the heroine’s thinking. and grounding all that: a female ensemble that really explores the deep friendship, love, rivalry, the sometimes toxic and frankly terrifying intensity imbricated in dynamics between young women both platonic and romantic without lowering itself to contrived melodrama.

plus! it has the best “mean” lesbian character to ever grace young queer fiction and the legions of wlw readers who don’t know about felicity worthington is a genuine shame

the selling points are a no brainer but these books were first published in 2003, predating even the tvtropes site itself, and it’s honestly doing all these ya for-marketing gimmicks better than whatever current booktok pick is offering these days. i’m not saying i’d ever want it to be adapted and inevitably dried and sanitized to social media sterility, but it absolutely deserves a bigger audience than it ever got

[crecimiento-espiritual]

Bienaventurado todo aquel que teme a Jehová, Que anda en sus caminos. Cuando comieres el trabajo de tus manos, Bienaventurado serás, y te irá bien. Tu mujer será como vid que lleva fruto a los lados de tu casa; Tus hijos como plantas de olivo alrededor de tu mesa. He aquí que así será bendecido el hombre Que teme a Jehová. Bendígate Jehová desde Sion, Y veas el bien de Jerusalén todos los días de tu vida, Y veas a los hijos de tus hijos. Paz sea sobre Israel.

Salmos 128:1‭-‬6 RVR1960

La santidad por encima de la felicidad

Muchos creyentes han pasado gran parte de su vida intentando ser felices y vivir contentos. Al perseguir este sentimiento, podemos experimentar cierto grado de culpa por buscar la felicidad y se podría percibir como auto-gratificante o simplemente egoísta. ¿No se supone que la doctrina cristiana nos enseña a esforzarnos por ser santos y no tan solo felices?

Se cree que el gozo no es de ninguna manera un sinónimo de felicidad. El gozo se percibe como algo santo mientras que la felicidad es vista como algo vano. Sin embargo, a medida que crecemos en la madurez cristiana, podemos llegar a entender que obedecer a Jesús, seguir su camino y vivir de acuerdo con su ley y su reino, nos permite encontrar la verdadera felicidad, así como mantener el gozo de conocerlo. Dios quiere que seamos bendecidos, que seamos realmente felices. Él anhela que la fuente de nuestra alegría y felicidad se encuentre únicamente en él.

Al estudiar la Escritura, nos damos cuenta que nada separa el gozo de la felicidad. De hecho, en las lenguas originales tienen el mismo significado. Una y otra vez, Jesús nos dice que nos alegremos y demos gracias constantemente, invitándonos a ser felices en él.

Como escribe acertadamente Alli Worthington: "Dios nos diseñó para buscar la felicidad en él y para desear que la fuente de nuestra felicidad esté en él".

El pasaje de hoy ofrece una receta para la santidad y la felicidad en nuestra vida. Está relacionada con nuestro contentamiento en las circunstancias presentes y nuestra conexión e intimidad con Jesús y con nuestros semejantes. Cuando abrazamos a los que nos rodean y nos conectamos con ellos de una manera significativa y auténtica, experimentaremos una profunda satisfacción y creceremos en santidad, lo que resulta en nuestra felicidad.

El salmista escribe, en el versículo 1: “Dichosos todos los que temen al Señor, los que van por sus caminos”. La palabra 'dichoso' o ‘bienaventurado’ es sinónimo de ‘feliz’ en la Escritura. De hecho, otras traducciones dicen: 'Felices los que temen al Señor'.

A medida que cultivemos el hábito de la gratitud, que vivamos en comunidad con otros y guardemos la verdad de Dios en nuestro corazón, tendremos dicha y prosperaremos (versículo 2). Daremos mucho fruto (versículos 3-4) y experimentaremos bendición y paz.

No es necesario elegir entre ser feliz y ser santo, uno fluye del otro. El llamado a la santidad y la invitación a la felicidad están estrechamente vinculadas y entrelazadas en el tejido de nuestra vida.
