The Little Gospel of the Holy Name
The Little Sachet, or the Gospel of the Holy Name of Jesus, is a Roman Catholic devotion based on a sacramental that, according to tradition, was mystically revealed by Jesus Christ to a Discalced Carmelite nun, Sister Marie of St Peter and of the Holy Family, in 1847, in a monastery in Tours, France.
It consists of a tiny leaflet on which are printed the short Gospel of the Circumcision, which mentions the giving of the name âJesusâ; a picture of Christ; the initials IHS representing the Holy Name of Jesus; and some invocation together with the lines, âWhen Jesus was named â Satan was disarmed.â This leaflet is folded into a small square, enclosed in a small pouch, and distributed to the faithful, who are encouraged to frequently say: âBlessed be the Most Holy Name of Jesus without endâ while wearing it.

Matka Boska Gromniczna
In Poland there is a custom to let candles blessed on Candlemas burn all night before an image of Mary, who is called upon to keep the wolves away during the cold winter nights.
Candlemas is often referred to as the feast of âMatka Boska Gromnicznâ, which translates as âOur Lady of the Blessed Thunder Candleâ.

Celebrating the Christmas Season â 28 December:Â
The FEAST of THE HOLY INNOCENTS
âLord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare your praise.â
Daily Meditation:
God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all. 1 John 1
There are many messages in this day.
Exile and liberation are part of the story.
Greed and lust for power are also part of the story
as the innocent suffer and die as the result of injustice.
It is difficult to look at but this is a day to remember how injustice works.
It is important for us remember that however horrible this scene is,
the injustices and violence of today are immeasurably worse.
Ultimately, Jesus himself will die at the hands of the unjust,
to stand with us, in injustice, so that no one will ever need to
suffer injustice.
If we say, âWe are without sin,â we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just
and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from every wrongdoing. 1 John 1
Closing Prayer:
Lord of Justice,
it is so easy for me to drift away in my own life,
caught up in my own problems and distractions.
Let me always remember those who suffer so much in this life
who are victims of violence and abuse, hunger and fear and the great number of HOLY INNOCENTS WHO ARE NOT EVEN ALLOWED LIFE!.
Let me remember that âthose peopleâ
are my brothers and sisters
and need me.
Give me the faith to pray for them,
the resources to support them,
and the strength to work to make their lives better.
Holy God, help me to pray for the end of Abortion throughout the world and to pray for the vast number of perpetrators of this immense crime of hate.
May the Lord bless us,
protect us from all evil
and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.
(via Anastpaul â Breathing Catholic)

The Apparition of Our Lady of La Salette - 19 September
If my people do not wish to submit themselves, I am forced to let go off the hand of my Son. It is so heavy and weighs me down so much I can no longer keep hold of it.
I have suffered all the time for the rest of you! If I do not wish my Son to abandon you, I must take it upon myself to pray for this continually. And the rest of you think little of this. In vain you will pray, in vain you will act, you will never be able to make up for the troubles I have taken over for the rest of you.

A wish for some Nendoroid Re-Release PART 2! - Update!
Well, if anyone say my previous post would see that Iâm wishing for a re-release of the nendoroids Mo Dao Zu Shi Wei Wuxian #1068 & Lan WangJi #1109. I noticed that GoodSmile is currently re-releasing recent & older nendoroids so I know they could do this. I emailed them and got a very hopeful response.
Hereâs my question & their reply :
Me : Hello! Would GoodSmile consider a Rerelease of the Nendoroids Nendoroid Wei Wuxian and Nendoroid Lan Wangji please! I along with several other friends would love a second chance to purchase these two wonderful Nendoroids!
GoodSmile :Â Thank you very much for your valuable suggestions. Products are considered for release / re-release when there is enough demand currently. Please feel free to let us know which products you want release / re-release by contacting us at our social media platforms!Â
Thank you very much for your support!

A wish for some Nendoroid Re-Release PART 1!
Well itâs super seldom I personally post anything, but I thought Iâd at least write this here. If anyone knows how to get this message across to GOODSMILE thatâll be awesome, but we need to start a petition or something requesting the re-release of both Mo Dao Zu Shi Wei Wuxian #1068 & Lan WangJi Nendoroids #1109! They sold out quite fast I personally failed to grab them and now who ever sells them has them at the most insane prices itâs just so wrong! T_T
Iâm talking about from the $40-$60 something price range, Iâve been seeing them about $250 or $300+ EACH! So really, no. Just no. But Iâve noticed GOODSMILE is re-releasing lots of nendos they had before so my hope is that if we got the word out to them of our interest, maybe weâd be lucky to get their attention and theyâd re-release these two again! If anyone has any ideas to get something like this going, thatâll be awesome.
Sorry for the rant but itâs good to get that off of my shoulders.

This is so AWESOME! Hectorâs finally getting the love he totally deserves!
Canât wait to see how heâs going to be involved in this season! ^__^
Super Legit Hector Theories
I made an Isaac theorey post, how could I not make a Hector one??
I love Hector (maybe even more than Isaac, because heâs me, also he also has like 5 dragons in my game, I basically turned Curse of Darkness into my ârun around and scream while my dragons carry me the entire wayâ game, so Iâm not gonna lie), I need to gush about him, too!
Now onto my theories:
-Hector will pet a cat
-Hector will cry over a dog
-Iâm gonna cry over Hector
-I LOVE HIM SO MUCH PLEASE HELP I AM GOING TO CRY
-He will hit the ground with his hammer and raise A LOT of baddies from the dead, itâs gonna be awesome
-He will not smile ever this whole season because his life SUUUUCKS QAQ
- I canât beleive heâs canon, Konami only cared about revisiting him and Isaac with stupid slot machines, he wasnât even in Harmony of Despair. I AM SO HAPPY THAT THE ANIMATION CREW CARES ABOUT HIM LOOK AT HIM. LOOK AT ME. HOLD ME IM GONNA BAWL MY EYEBALLS OUT WITH PURE JOY QAQ
