My Sweet and All-Merciful Lover,
By Your freely-given grace that has seen me through all things, and always will, I will pour out what You have filled my heart with, in the staggering certainty of faith.
When the anxious, fearful, and ashamed Neil rises up in me today, as he surely will, fill me with grace to smile within, open my arms to him, and welcome him, because I adore him, as You do. What a magnificent child he is, as Yeshua has shown me by grace. I and You will make him ok, as I and You make everything not only ok, but good and wonderful.
Throughout this day, show to my unworthy eyes the face of the Sacred Heart on everyone and everything I meet – including, and especially, when I greet the enemies of the perpetually-forgiven and always-beloved Neil.
My heart overflowing in certainty of Your Love knows it will be so, because You walk with me, Emmanuel. Amen.
.

This is such a Catholic thing to say. An institution promises everlasting life after you give all your consumption and productive output to oligarchs, and you get this reward AFTER you die. I know exactly why ND got someone on SCOTUS.

Curious response. Not sure I follow any of it, though, I confess. Perhaps I’m too brainwashed? Is it so Catholic because it acknowledges shame perhaps?
I’ve purchased no indulgences:) Most of my output has gone to the US IRS, but my country spends a decent portion of it admirably. My prayer for me intends to express I feel rewarded right now, not after I die.
Wish I could understand the link with ND and SCOTUS
