(1/2) “Jesus wasn’t pleased. “Don’t stop him. No one can use my name to do something good and powerful, and in the next breath slam me. If he’s not an enemy, he’s an ally. Why, anyone by just giving you a cup of water in my name is on our side. Count on it that God will notice.”

@anon_opin we also need to be careful what we identify as "meritorious".

From Cafh: Let's love ourselves with the conviction that the more love we generate in our hearts, the more we will be able to respond to those in need.
Amémonos convencidos de que mientras más amor generemos en nuestro corazón, más aptos estaremos para responder a quienes lo necesitan.

Some intelligent and powerful folks got swept up in the mass drone hysteria including politicians and police. They overlooked evidence for weeks. Now that the news cycle moved on, so have they.
Remember this before when ingesting social media and news. And as AI continues to improve, discernment is going to become a valuable skill.

So #SelfDiscipline and #Discernment…if those are still actually things to be found in the same place, at the same time…I don’t know. If they are signposts for the friend vs foe radar I’d say they’ve been knocked offline and replaced by poor imposters that, nevertheless, seem to evade detection…
There was a time when individuals who really shared values and beliefs were solid pings on the radar. Now not so much. Might be birds or clutter. #Bullshit has evolved
Quote of the day, 10 December: Thomas Merton
O God, My God! Why am I so mute? I long to cry out and out to Thee, over and over, and Thou art nameless and infinite. All our names for Thee are not Thy name, infinite Trinity.
But Thy Word is Jesus, and I cry the name of Thy Son and live in the love of His heart and believe, if He wills, He will bring me the answer to my only prayer: that I may renounce everything and belong entirely to the Lord!
Saint Theresa, Little Flower, never cease praying for me!
J.M.J.T.
Thomas Merton
Part Three: St. Bonaventure’s, New York
5 December 1941
Note: Merton expert Fiona Gardner discusses Thomas Merton’s relationship with St. Thérèse of Lisieux in her 2012 article, “A Tremendous Experience”: The Influence of St. Thérèse of Lisieux on the Spirituality of Thomas Merton, which was published by the International Thomas Merton Society in its scholarly journal, The Merton Seasonal: A Quarterly Review. Thomas Merton was killed on 10 December 1968 in Bangkok, Thailand.

I respect my path and preferences while respecting the paths and preferences of all others with discernment. - Sharonda Thomas

All rivers lead to the same ocean
#Discernment is a Word.It's taken decades to build the tools necessary to confirm some stuff we thought was absolutely nuts has been probably real the whole time. There is still plenty of nonsense out there. So crazy stuff that turns out to be real doesn't actually render all the stuff that's still nonsense more believable.It all has to go thru the same wringer, be smooshed flat several times and then be retested for viability after somebody builds the tech required to rule out swamp gas

"When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.
I’m like everyone else–I see the world in terms of what I would like to see happen, not what actually does.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it." - Paulo Coelho
With every passing day, Rev. Father, I love our Lord more and I unite myself more to Him in everything. All I do is directed to Him with love, since this is the strength that enables me do even things for which I feel the greatest repugnance.
In prayer I have greater fervor, so that sometimes I spend twenty minutes completely immersed in Him, as if in a great ocean, where I lose myself and at other times, as though drawn by His immensity. Then I feel a great desire to be united with Him.
Oh, how good Our Lord is! At each moment it seems I can touch and hold Him close to my heart. So close to Him do I feel that at times, when my eyes are closed, I imagine I’ll see Him when I open them.
Still, Rev. Father, don’t think that everything is joy. I’m in such an atrocious state of doubt that I don’t even know how to make a decision as to whether I should become a Carmelite or a Sacred Heart Sister. That’s why I’m searching for light.
You, Rev. Father, know me well. Since I’ve allowed you to read everything in my soul, you will be able to advise me. I only want to do God’s will.
A Carmelite needs to be united to God and completely filled with Him, but she keeps this spirit; while a Sacred Heart Sister must be filled with God and give Him to souls. She, therefore, needs greater union; for, if she doesn’t possess it, she’ll remain without God and will have nothing to give to souls.
But what terrifies me, Rev. Father, is that I don’t remain united to God when dealing a great deal with creatures. For I’ve learned from experience that by dealing a little more with them, I grow colder in my love for God.
I also think that Our Lord has very clearly made known to me that I should become a Carmelite, even though I don’t know any Carmelites. But I believe this because I’ve already read the Life of Saint Therese of the Child Jesus.
What I’m perfectly sure of is, that ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to join a very austere community and have no dealings with the world.

Dandelion DoorwaysLimitations & Radical Acceptance - Dandelion DoorwaysRadical acceptance is a powerful, mindfulness-based practice that embraces reality without a hint of judgment or resistance, regardless of its misalignment with our desires or expectations. It’s a profound act of acknowledging and embracing the present moment, daring to confront even the most challenging and agonizing experiences instead of waging war against them. Through radical […]
#Science is alive and well. #Physics is alive and well. #Causality is alive and well. The process of procuring evidence in determination of what is true and what is false is alive and well.
It's the abilities of people on average,
the skillsets involved with #Discernment, that are giving way to a consumption mindset. Let some process- an #AI or algorithm, pick the truth for you, or check a few boxes and get a whole bag of possible truths based on what you'd like to hear. Skills atrophy and die
Discernment is key, friends! Know when to speak and when to stay silent. Trustworthiness is built on honesty & discretion. "Speech is silver, but silence is golden." Prov. 11:12 #discernment #silence #trust #wisdom #christianliving
