#prayers for the dead

Eternal rest grant to her, O Lord

Perpetual light shine upon her

May she rest in peace

Western star, crowing the evening,

Guide to our dead, exemplar,

Maris Stella, calming the mourning,

Light above the ocean,

Lustrous fountain, grant us succor,

As smoke of sweet cedar,

Guide us home,

Our skin, never again to greet the sun,

Or to greet the dawn,

Guide us home,

Guide us home.

RIP Fons, you are so missed.

25 Tammuz 5784 (30-31 July 2024)

The 25th of Tammuz is the yahrzeit of Aharon Berechiah ben Moshe ben Nechemiah of Modena. An Italian Kabbalist of the Lurianic tradition. He is best known for his liturgical writings, especially a guide to the work of the chevre kadisha or Jewish burial society regarding prayers for the sick and dying written at the request of the Jews of Mantua.

When he was 87 years old, Rabbi Aharon was a arrested by the Catholic Inquisition of Modena on charges of possessing books that had been banned by the Pope. He pointed out the absurdity of allowing Jewish settlement and then attempting to ban Jewish religious texts.

He died three years later, on the 25th of Tammuz 5399, at the age of 90.

In the Catholic faith, prayers for the faithful departed are a sacred and meaningful practice with deep theological roots. These prayers are grounded in the belief that God’s mercy is infinite and that the souls of the deceased can benefit from our prayers and intercession.Continue reading Untitled

Ok but guys isn't it actually crazy how Eugene Roe's presence is literally defined by the ineffable silence of God....ep 6 has no narrative voice beyond the languageless vision of Roe's literal perspective....he brings with him silence in every episode he's in like the chaos after Jackson blows himself up stills completely when Doc runs in - they all go silent & frozen & breathless - when any man is wounded the very concept of words beyond orders fail...he talks about how Renee is blessed to calm the wounded she treats but it's evident that he brings with him something even graver than calm; it's unutterable, literally, it's a prayer, it's a response to the silence we meet (Roe meets) in his prayers (it's a reflection on the insane power we - they - have over our own - and their own - mortality - that silent and sometimes apparently godlike capacity to return (to the front lines) from the dead (that hell of lost brotherhood in the hospitals)?)

Do you know what I'd like as a treat because it would make my heart happy?

Gifs of Charles looking at Niko.

Not Edwin, we know Edwin adores Niko.

But so does Charles, in a quieter way, like when she shows up with the crowbar at the Devlin house, or when she chants "go Grey Wake Whalers."

It just makes me happy that Charles is a Niko fan, too.
