Blessed Chiquitunga: Misery Meets Mercy

“How could I not tremble, Jesus, before the immensity of Your mercy toward this miserable one, a thousand times unworthy, chosen by You!”

Blessed Maria Felicia of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, Chiquitunga

A cracked-open door.
Two hinges: humility and wonder.
Through this door, we catch a glimpse of Blessed Maria Felicia of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament — Chiquitunga — a young Carmelite whose soul was shaped by trust in the night and total surrender to Love.

🎙️ Listen to this final episode of Season 2: Blessed Chiquitunga: Misery Meets Mercy.

As we close this season of Carmelite Quotes Podcast, thank you for listening, praying, and walking with us. Stay tuned for Season 3 — coming soon!

The song was ranked #42 on Billboard magazine's Top Hot 100 songs of 1969.

“Today, right now, right here, is the easiest moment to draw the line against Donald Trump. Every day from here, it will get harder — the politics more inevitable, the destruction more irreversible, the sheer waste more costly, the downstream impacts on American life and the world beyond more catastrophic. The challenge is that fact has also been true every day for the last nine years.”

What Jay Kuo says here, 100%:

"Folks, a gentle reminder.

When there are important court filings and victories, it does no one any good to chime in with, 'Yeah, but too late' or 'They won’t abide by the court order anyway.'”

As Jay says, this response capitulates in advance and it gratifies strongmen sorts who count on our cynicism so they can win.

The Status KuoJay Kuo on The Status KuoFolks, a gentle reminder. When there are important court filings and victories, it does no one any good to chime in with, “Yeah, but too late” or “They won’t abide by the court order anyway.” There are at least three big problems with this response. First, you are capitulating in advance. The first rule in fighting authoritarianism is not to give an inch. Saying we will lose or that it doesn’t matter is contributing to this cynicism. Second, they are actually counting on your cynicism to win. If the left believes it cannot win, then it will not win. Don’t give them that victory so easily. Fight the urge to give voice to your darkest fears. As I like to remind folks, “Would you walk up to a paramedic trying to save a life and say, ‘Just give up, they’re going to die anyway’?” No. Then please don’t say that to the lawyers and the acitivists who are on the front lines in the court battles against the fascists. Third, there is no evidence that this administration wants to expend political capital defying court orders. That is a quick ticket to losing a lot more later, as it gives the judicary reason to come down even harder. The goal of the ‘flood the zone’ technique is not to defy the orders in the cases they lose but to throw enough crap around that someone gets nailed with it or they draw a sympathetic judge. And remember, even this Supreme Court has some limits on what it will do for Trump, and it absolutely cannot hear every case. Not even close. So when I or others post wins, please amplify them, and check yourself if you’re inclined to pee in the Cheerios in the comments. If you’re feeling that way, remind yourself that this is EXACTLY what Trump and Musk want you to feel, then resist it with all you have. As you were.

"An exhilarated hatred now parades as freedom, while the freedoms for which many of us have struggled for decades are distorted and trammeled as morally repressive 'wokeism'. ... It is a communal and contagious celebration of cruelty."

My otherwise undeveloped snek girl, Mercy--
I started building her out a bit more for a potential pathfinder campaign, which has helped me finally get a better angle on her character, so I hope to elaborate on that a bit more in the future. In the meantime, just expect to maybe see a few more snek things from time to time as I play with her a bit more? X3

"If Jesus were resurrected today he’d be immediately canceled and attacked by MAGA for being a woke, DEI-hire libtard.

In the absence of a petty, vindictive, vengeful 'warrior Jesus' who will 'own the libs; and engage in a 24-7 Festivus, these alleged Christians with family values have their avatar in Donald Trump,"

Continued thread

(continued from /8) "a man who incited a violent insurrection, has cheated on every single one of his wives, and said his personal Vietnam was avoiding STDs. When these 'religious' MAGA Christian voters, who make up the most loyal part of Trump’s base, actually listen to a Christian who echoes the teachings of the Jesus I met in the Bible, they get triggered."
