“Why do you still call yourself father?”
It is a deliberate act of protest and rebellion. I do so in defiance of an institution that has abdicated its responsibilities. It has refused to care for the marginalized, it has abandoned the poor, and sold its own soul to a far-right political agenda instead of yielding to the King of Kings.
“Why do you still call yourself father if you are no longer a priest.”
I may have stepped down from active ministry within the institution, but I am still called upon. I bury those they refuse to allow to rest in peace. I will continue to celebrate the marriages of those you reject. I will baptize those you call unclean.
“Why do you still call yourself father if you left the church?”
I didn’t leave the church, the church abandoned us, and so we have become the body, the assembly, the ecclesia.
We are the abandoned children of an institution that doesn’t love unconditionally. We were told to follow in the footsteps of our big brother Jesus, and then y’all left him on the cross as a warning against non-compliance and to those who stand up to the oppressors.
We all became fatherless children. You were supposed to be shepherds, but instead, you tossed your children out into the streets because of who they love, leaving them to be devoured by wolves.
I’ll never give this title back. It’s mine, and you can’t have it because it’s not you that gave it to me. I’m a father by virtue of adopting all the children that you rejected. You lied and said all life is sacred and then deposed everyone you think is different. You are abandoning your children for being gay, trans, single moms, and neurodivergent.
The Institutional Church hasn’t paid child support and has missed every birthday and recital. The Church is a deadbeat.
So I’ll be a father until the day I die to all the children you spawned but never wanted to raise because you’re more concerned with a child born than a child fed, cared for, and loved.
I will continue to love them all and be a father in your absence. If you want this title back, be worthy of it.

"Lord Rama is the symbol of Atma jnana (Self-knowledge); He represents the Soul. Lord Rama represents both – the Self and Self-knowledge. When Self-knowledge (Lord Rama) dawns within a person, then the Ravana within (meaning ego and all negativity) gets destroyed completely. Ravana can only be destroyed and overcome by the Ram-baan (an arrow named after Lord Rama, meaning an arrow that never misses its mark). It means that only by Self-knowledge can one gain victory over all kinds of negativity and distortions of the mind."

Teresa of Avila was a Mystic and is a Doctor of the Church. God as the Sole Satisfier of human longing is one of the central teachings of the Discalced Carmelite reform that she and St. John of the Cross collaborated upon in the 16th century.
Let nothing trouble you
Let nothing frighten you
Everything passes
God never changes
Patience
Obtains all
Whoever has God
Wants for nothing
God alone is enough.

I wished to ave a prayer day today but it wasnt a serene day
so this came to me
May the greatest prayers on behalf of the whole,
that i currently dont have words for
still reach your ears oh G’d the Everlasting Hearer of All
Loving Audur of all
Beloved Love of all
~
Let my responses today, being carried away by stress, let that not stay with me
through my life’s journey, let me rest in the calmth of your Love
and the power of your Strength
let me abide in the strength and in the love you put in me.
let me return to the light within light
so this came to me

¶ In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If any man thirsts, let him come unto me and drink. He that believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

"In Mandaeism, the bshuma (Classical Mandaic: ࡁࡔࡅࡌࡀ, romanized: b-šuma, lit. 'in the name [of]') is a religious formula that is often written at the beginnings of chapters in Mandaean texts and prayers.[1][2] The Islamic equivalent is the basmala.
The full form of the bshuma is "In the name of Hayyi Rabbi" (Classical Mandaic: ࡁࡔࡅࡌࡀࡉࡄࡅࡍ ࡖࡄࡉࡉࡀ ࡓࡁࡉࡀ, romanized: b-šumaihun ḏ-hiia rbia, lit. 'In the name of the Great Life'), (Arabic: باسم الحي العظيم, bism al-Ḥayy al-ʿAẓīm).[3]
A simpler version is ࡁࡔࡅࡌࡀ ࡖࡄࡉࡉࡀ (b-šuma ḏ-hiia), which literally translates to "In Life's name."

As air was extremely toxic
And I was experiencing dying and losing my mind
The call to prayer sang out
And I realized:
God is greater than this poison.
And as I am created by God,
I am greater than this poison.
I am greater than this poison
And greater than the ones who made this poison.
I am greater than all this torture in this moment
And God is greater than all of it.

By most measures, November 1817 was a decidedly ho-hum month in world history. On November 5, the Third Anglo-Maratha War broke out between the British and Indians at the Battle of Khadki. On November 20, the first Seminole War began in the American state…
"The birth of a person also forces us to contemplate whether it is really possible for a single person, no matter how great, to be “the hinge of history”? Is it actually possible for one person to change everything?
Nature itself provides an emphatic and moving answer to this question: yes. In the act of creating of a human, it is not necessary that all the cells involved make an equal contribution. Indeed, all it takes is one sperm cell out of the millions to fertilize the egg, triggering a chain reaction that brings into being, as if by a miracle, a new entity with potentialities that only heaven can know."
