Has someone put a spell on you, in spite of the plain explanation you have had of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ?
From Today’s Office First Reading Galatians
Had there been no cross, death would not have been trodden underfoot, nor hell despoiled.
From Today’s Office Second Reading From a discourse by Saint Andrew of Crete
Reading 1
On this 14th day of the Season of Creation, is it because my patience has been worn out from the journey and I’ve complained against God and Pope Francis that I find myself bitten by the fiery MAGA serpent…
Responsorial Psalm
…and has not the venom of MAGA clergy (Archbishop Vigano, Bishop Strickland, Mr. Frank Pavone, James Altman) led me to flatter God with my mouth
and lie to him with my tongue,
thus turning my heart away from him, so that I even show my unfaithfulness to his covenant by sacrificing innocents from conception to any number of weeks by way of pro-abortion bans in order to get the moderate and swing votes MAGA wants…
2nd Reading
..and shows I regard equality with God as something to be grasped…
Alleluia
Gospel
…thereby giving me the right to join my MAGA clergy in condemning Laudato si, Amoris Laetitia, Synod; but can I not be saved from this wretchedness through Jesus by looking upon Him on the Holy Cross❓
From September 1 – October 4, the Christian family unites worldwide in prayer and action for creation during the Season of Creation. The 2023 theme is “Let Justice and Peace Flow.”
“in this Season of Creation, as followers of Christ on our shared synodal journey, we may live, work, and pray so that our common home will teem with life once again.”
Pope Francis
When we fail to acknowledge as part of reality the worth of a poor person, a human embryo, a person with disabilities – to offer just a few examples – it becomes difficult to hear the cry of nature itself; everything is connected.
Laudato si, paragraph 117
