“We awaken in Christ’s body as Christ awakens our bodies, and my poor hand is Christ, He enters my foot, and is infinitely me.

I move my hand, and wonderfully my hand becomes Christ, becomes all of Him (for God is indivisibly whole, seamless in His Godhood).

I move my foot, and at once He appears like a flash of lightning. Do my words seem blasphemous? — Then open your heart to Him

and let yourself receive the one who is opening to you so deeply. For if we genuinely love Him, we wake up inside Christ’s body

where all our body, all over, every most hidden part of it, is realized in joy as Him, and He makes us, utterly, real,

and everything that is hurt, everything that seemed to us dark, harsh, shameful, maimed, ugly, irreparably damaged, is in Him transformed

and recognized as whole, as lovely, and radiant in His light he awakens as the Beloved in every last part of our body.”

~St. Symeon the New Theologian

the best account on Tumblr. confirmed.

“Za ich [Adama Jerzego i Konstantego Czartoryskiego] po pobytu odwiedził króla biskup Adam Naruszewicz, ale mało kto go widział i z nim mówił. Król ulokował drogiego gościa we własnym gabinecie, gdzie Naruszewicz spędził kilka dni windując tylko swego dawnego mecenasa i płacząc nad losem jego i kraju.” - Gabriela Pauszer-Klonowska „Pani na Puławach”

Roza Shanina (1924-1945).

Soviet sniper.

.

She was credited with fifty-nine confirmed kills, including twelve soldiers during the Battle of Vilnius. Shanina volunteered for the military after the death of her brother in 1941 and chose to be a marksman on the front line. Praised for her shooting accuracy, Shanina was capable of precisely hitting enemy personnel and making doublets (two target hits by two rounds fired in quick succession).

She was one of the first women to join the Soviet army during World War II and was the first Soviet female sniper to be awarded the Order of Glory, also becoming the first servicewoman of the 3rd Belorussian Front to receive it.

.

Eager in her studies, she never hesitated to walk the 8.1 miles (13 km) to get to school. Even though it was against her parents’ wishes, when she was only fourteen Shanina decided to walk a distance of 120 miles (200 kilometers) across the Taiga so that she could study at the college in Arkhangelsk.

.

Shanina was killed during the East Prussian Offensive while she was shielding a wounded commander of an artillery unit.

I finally watched “Rebel Without A Cause” and loved it’s themes of the american youth and the differences and conflicts between generations, and the film made me think of my own internal conflict and journey into adulting and how I’m still trying to ride through this whirlwind and I guess made a playlist based on it…..X
