intercessions from this evening's prayer of the whole Church weigh in on the controversy 👀

lmao it's like all the meanings apply here

...a time to Concilium, and a time to Communio...

reminds me of this poem that's popular in Men's circles: "The Lessons of the Wound" by Bruce Balin

God's is the "soft hand" that can "rub the salve of compassion and understanding" to give healing to wounds.

He knows all your longing. your groans are not hidden from Him: the One who understands

"My wounds are foul and festering,
the result of my own folly
...
O Lord, you know all my longing:
my groans are not hidden from you"

He knows my longing better than i do.

beneath the tapestry of lies & deceit that clouds my view & protects & justifies laziness, malice, contempt, etc
