“What was born of Mary was therefore human by nature, in accordance with the inspired Scriptures, and the body of the Lord was a true body: It was a true body because it was the same as ours. Mary, you see, is our sister, for we are all born from Adam.”

Homeland Security really bringing that whore of Babylon energy to the socials:

"Her sins are piled up to the sky,
and God remembers her crimes. ...
for she said to herself,
‘I sit enthroned as queen;
I am no widow,
and I will never know grief.'" (Rev 18:5-7)
They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration.

It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.

Henri Nouwen is recognized for spirituality, not complex theology, but I think this from In the Name of Jesus is relevant here.

He has told you, O mortal, what is good,
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice and to love kindness
and to walk humbly with your God?

Our broken child care system can learn a lot from New Mexico - the state that is leading the way in guaranteeing free child care for all.

There is no better rate of return than investing in our children.

The rest of the country should follow New Mexico’s lead.

The song of Mary is the oldest Advent hymn…It is at once the most passionate, the wildest, one might even say the most revolutionary Advent hymn ever sung.
