I know some people say its a good witness, others have said it's a reminder, particularly to our brethren who don't practice the faith regularly that "oh yeah it's Ash Wednesday I guess I should go do a thing." On the other hand when I went through RCIA our rector (Msgr. Cappo, St. Peter Cathedra) had recommended washing it off as soon as you get home after mass. Every year I can't help but think of Jesus' instructions on fasting. “When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites. They neglect their appearance, so that they may appear to others to be fasting. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you may not appear to others to be fasting, except to your Father who is hidden. And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you.

"And what the magi did is also something the Church encourages of its faithful. God reveals himself in the sacred books of the Bible, so we should come to know Scripture. But God also reveals himself in the book of nature, in a world whose order, beauty, contingency, and purposefulness all point beyond itself. They point to One who ordered it, gave it that beauty and purpose, and both created and sustains its being. The Church teaches that man can come to a certain knowledge of God even from the created world." https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/epiphany-and-the-magic-road-trip npub1x3vrw5lj6h3lmgtel4kllxuhuv3mwgwl50gqtduenwgrmpap3xcqkrvrcx Fu @npub14ax…4k97 i wish they would replace the right shift keyb if they are going to do it https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com/thereslife/media_attachments/files/111/706/508/848/262/884/original/6858fc5cb0a6bbc4.jpg npub1x3vrw5lj6h3lmgtel4kllxuhuv3mwgwl50gqtduenwgrmpap3xcqkrvrcx Fu I really hope they are successful and I hope a Samsung one isn't far behind. https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/4/24024957/clicks-iphone-keyboard-case-iphone-14-15-lightning-usb-c npub1x3vrw5lj6h3lmgtel4kllxuhuv3mwgwl50gqtduenwgrmpap3xcqkrvrcx Fu @npub1h52…kcpv next week... ha! npub1x3vrw5lj6h3lmgtel4kllxuhuv3mwgwl50gqtduenwgrmpap3xcqkrvrcx Fu @npub1p4y…l8vj doesn't get much more 'merika than that! @npub1hje…gjd0 npub1x3vrw5lj6h3lmgtel4kllxuhuv3mwgwl50gqtduenwgrmpap3xcqkrvrcx Fu @npub1z3z…vzgc where I work now most people "bank" theit holidays, like taking a few vacation days off before and/or after a paid holiday so that you get "more bang for your buck" my first engineering job they "fixed" that by indicating that if you didn't work both the day before and the day after a paid holiday, you weren't eligible for the paid holiday, so you'd have to burn another one of your 5 paid days a year off. npub1x3vrw5lj6h3lmgtel4kllxuhuv3mwgwl50gqtduenwgrmpap3xcqkrvrcx Fu @npub1z3z…vzgc no private employer in the States is required to give you holidays, vacation, sick pay, etc. about the only thing they can't fire you for is giving birth to a baby, as long as you come back within 6 weeks of the day you left. They certainly aren't required to pay you while you are are out. some companies do offer some vacation in hopes of recruiting or retaining talent. For professionals on salary average in the States is like 2 weeks (10 days) of vacation that you can use for anything (such as your kids are sick and you can't find a sitter, you have to go to the doctor, take a trip to Disneyland,or to attend a friend's funeral) & 10 fixed holidays. The holidays a private employer will give workers off, like the day after Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve) don't usually align with federal holidays like Columbus Day or June Teenth. Every year my neighbors get mad they don't get mail on Columbus Day and can never remember why. Most non-union hourly employees get no paid vacation or holidays, and often get smaller paychecks in months like December when the employer decides to close for a day or more for the Holidays L. I have a good paying engineer job with a major automotive company. I get laid off for two weeks (12/18 - 1/2), but they give me pay for 12/25 & 1/1 which makes me then ineligible to file for unemployment insurance. They do let me make up time if I'm out of the office less than 4 hours at a time (like if I need 2 hours for a doctor appointment on a Tuesday I can avoid wasting my vacation by working 2 hours extra on the preceding Monday. Most non-union hourly employees don't have such a luxury and would have to take a day off for events like that. Last time I checked union membership in the States was < 10% of workers. I used to work for a French company any they always complained that Americans never worked because we'd go home at 5pm everyday, but then they'd take the whole month of August off like that's normal. @npub17ae…edqt npub1x3vrw5lj6h3lmgtel4kllxuhuv3mwgwl50gqtduenwgrmpap3xcqkrvrcx Fu @npub1csa…z4x9 sounds like fun ! npub1x3vrw5lj6h3lmgtel4kllxuhuv3mwgwl50gqtduenwgrmpap3xcqkrvrcx Fu @npub1z3z…vzgc your office is close sed till mid Jan ?!? npub1x3vrw5lj6h3lmgtel4kllxuhuv3mwgwl50gqtduenwgrmpap3xcqkrvrcx Fu @npub1xl3…w9t5 sounds great!

It kind of made us wonder why in the world anyone thought that was a good idea? And then it made us think of the most famous newspaper Christmas editorial ever. Commonly called the ‘Yes Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus’ editorial, it’s been quoted in full or in part in TV shows and movies and more for decades. You know some of the story, how eight-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon had been told by friends that Santa Claus wasn’t real and how her dad told her to write to the newspaper, the New York Sun. It was on September 21, 1897 that the Sun answered the eight-year-old’s question in what has become the most famous Christmas editorial ever. We thought our readers would enjoy reading it again. Dear Editor— I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, “If you see it in The Sun, it’s so.” Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? Virginia O’Hanlon 115 West Ninety Fifth Street Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God! He lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood. Virginia O’Hanlon lived to the age of 81, passing away in 1971. And I’ll bet she knew, and believed, in Santa Claus her entire life. Why? Merry Christmas! https://tricitytimes-online.com/2023/12/20/yes-virginia-there-is-a-santa-claus/ npub1x3vrw5lj6h3lmgtel4kllxuhuv3mwgwl50gqtduenwgrmpap3xcqkrvrcx Fu Just in case in what you to know what the Pope ACUTALLY said about blessing individuals in same-sex relationships...

We know that he entrusted himself to Jesus early in his life, and when his folks died, he gave away all the inheritance to the poor. Oh, and a neat little legend about the stockings we see everywhere. The origin of the big red stockings was from a story of St. Nicholas. Nicholas learned of three girls who were going to be sold into slavery by their father. He was so moved by their pain that he tossed three bags of gold through the window of the little girls’ home, to ransom their lives. The legend is that the money fell into their socks, which were drying by the fireplace. So let us celebrate St. Nick today — the real St. Nick — as a lover of Jesus and of the poor. And as we see stockings hanging up this Christmas, let us remember those who still hang their clothes out to dry… and may we remember the 1.2 million children who are trafficked each year in the global sex trade. May we remember the children of Gaza, where over 6600 kids have been killed by the United States and the State of Israel over the past 60 days. Over a million people are now displaced, homeless, refugees in Gaza. May their suffering move us to act, as Nicholas did. As we look at the faces of the suffering, we can see Jesus. In the words of Rev. Munther Isaac, “God is under the rubble.” Jesus is among the displaced, the grieving, those traumatized by war and poverty. God is with us, with them. What we do to the least of these we do unto Christ. This Christmas, our hearts are broken by the fact that “peace on earth, good will toward men” isn’t a reality for millions of God’s children. We need only look at Gaza. But we don’t despair. We are part of a great tradition of radicals like St. Nicholas and Francis of Assisi, Fannie Lou Hamer and Dorothy Day, Oscar Romero and Daniel Berrigan who have prayed and worked for God’s dream to come fully on earth. We remember that Christ came as a homeless refugee, a brown-skinned Palestinian refugee baby… born in a barn because there was no room in the inn. He was born in the midst of a genocide, as Herod ordered all the baby boys killed throughout the land. And we recall how Christ has come again and again to us in the distressing disguise of the poor — immigrants and refugees fleeing poverty, persecution and war in our world. This week we celebrate because we know that this King who is laid in a manger brings a kingdom that can take root anywhere — and we know that it will grow to fill the whole earth. The kingdoms of this world are indeed becoming the kingdom of our God. https://www.redletterchristians.org/do-you-know-the-real-st-nick/ npub1x3vrw5lj6h3lmgtel4kllxuhuv3mwgwl50gqtduenwgrmpap3xcqkrvrcx Fu Do you believe in a REAL Satan as an individual entity? npub1x3vrw5lj6h3lmgtel4kllxuhuv3mwgwl50gqtduenwgrmpap3xcqkrvrcx Fu @npub1mv9…5avx what do you like about being so close to Israel? npub1x3vrw5lj6h3lmgtel4kllxuhuv3mwgwl50gqtduenwgrmpap3xcqkrvrcx Fu @npub1mv9…5avx @npub1dp8…cl9l if you don't want to self-host, which is almost always better, I would recommend soical.re & datamost.com respectively as gratis options. npub1x3vrw5lj6h3lmgtel4kllxuhuv3mwgwl50gqtduenwgrmpap3xcqkrvrcx Fu @npub1mv9…5avx @npub1dp8…cl9l I know a number of friends who have done their long form blogs on Diaspora* or Pump.io. npub1x3vrw5lj6h3lmgtel4kllxuhuv3mwgwl50gqtduenwgrmpap3xcqkrvrcx Fu @npub1q8n…kct8 they, them, those.

Pope Innocent I is whom proclaimed which books where the established Canon, most of which had been used for centuries, (I think the Canon declared echoed the books that St. Augustin of Hippo referenced, but I'm not up to snuff on that) but there certainly where additional writings that had been used by believers as if they were scripture, including those that are now considered heretical or gnostic but most were simply not the inspired Word. Most of the New Testament did NOT exist prior to Pentecost. The disciples of the day had every reason to believe the return of Christ was eminent and as such didn't have the time to write, they were too busy spreading the gospel before it was too late. It was only once the first generation of disciples began dying off that it became clearer the need of a New Testament to compliment the Jewish writings. npub1x3vrw5lj6h3lmgtel4kllxuhuv3mwgwl50gqtduenwgrmpap3xcqkrvrcx Fu @npub1swe…wjk4 What do you mean by that?
