Happy Easter! He is risen! Hallelujah!

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. Mary Magdalene makes early trips to Jesus's tomb, maybe to anoint His Body with funeral oils, or maybe just to cry. In this cartoon, she refers to these trips as her "mourning routine." The word "mourning" (grieving) sounds like "morning" (the early part of the day). This pun implies that Mary's early daily ritual (her "morning routine") is one of sorrow (hence, "mourning routine"). 2. As Mary approaches Jesus's tomb in John's version of the story, she sees that it's open and hurries to the apostles to have them inspect it. In this cartoon, however, she's too exhausted to recognize what the open tomb implies (that the dead Jesus has somehow left His tomb). She continues into the tomb to wait for Him to return, and only after several minutes does the event literally dawn on her. This particular sunrise has seen the Son rise.

I think a fantastic and absolutely gut wrenching parallel that The Chosen can make is after Jesus dies and the disciples are all stuck together fighting over what to do next, whose fault it is, angry and grieved and at each other’s throats—

Like they were all fighting over the campfire while Jesus was healing people all day

—Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, Tamar, and Ramah (and possibly if not probably Eden) all return covered in Jesus’ blood from having cleaned his body for his haphazard burial before sundown. Their hands stained red and smelling of perfume and oils, and cheeks wet with tears, entering with a quiet but grief-stricken dignity. They never left him. They stood by him til the end and they have the blood and sweat and tears to show for it—

Just like Jesus walking back to his tent after an exhausting, difficult day of healing, sweating and panting with the effort to walk.

—And the disciples are silenced by this. They ran away. They denied him. They slept when he asked them to pray. They are ashamed.

And the screen cuts to black. Credits roll in silence.

"you’re going to want to rush in there and do whatever you can to save them. but you have to stop yourself. because there are some people you can’t save. because those people will thrash and struggle and try to take you down with them.”

Grieving someone i cannot save is a bitch.

PRINCE HUNTER, DUKE OF FORTOZA HAS DIED

It is with deep sorrow that we share the news of the passing of the Queen's uncle. He passed away peacefully in his sleep, leaving behind a grieving family.

At the birth of the Duke of Fortoza's twins, Coleen and Carley, he voluntarily relinquished his position in the line of succession, paving the way for Princess Nathalia (who later became the queen) to become the next in line to the throne.

As he is the late Queen Nathalia's only brother, Queen Nikola grew up close to her uncle. This sad news surely affected the Queen. The funeral service will be held at St. Magdalene Cathedral and attended by his immediate family members and close friends.

Kindly note that specific locations have been designated to allow those who loved the late prince to pay their final respects.

THE FUNERAL

Here are some photos taken during the funeral service.

Gianna, Duchess of Fortoza- The grieving wife

Coleen and Carley- The twins

Felipe and Helena, Prince and Princess of Lucsiana The rare PDA or Public Display of Affection shocked the kingdom.

Prince Shaun is seen walking alongside an unidentified woman. This photo sparked rumors and stories as the woman in the picture looks exactly like the Queen's mother. The story intensifies as she only appears at Prince Hunter's funeral.

The uncanny resemblance

WHO IS THIS WOMAN?

Holy Week - Saturday

Luke 23:50-56

Imagine how Mary Magdalene must have felt on Saturday after the crucifixion. She had personally experienced Jesus’ healing power; she had heard his voice as he taught, seen his eyes of compassion as he healed the sick and raised the dead. She was a devoted servant of his entourage and, most importantly, fervently believed that he was God in the flesh, the long-awaited Messiah.

And yet, Jesus was dead. She saw his brutal execution. She sat across from the tomb as his body was carried in. Her thoughts bombarded her. Memories of Jesus’ ministry must have alternated with the horrific images from the day before of his swollen eyes shut in his unrecognizable face.

Aside from her grief and confusion, she wanted to get on with Jesus’ burial. Even if he wasn’t God, he was her friend, and she loved him. In times of despair, it can help to have some work to do. At least it is a distraction. Together with the other women, she had gathered the necessary supplies, but they didn’t have time to finish the job before the Sabbath began at sunset.

On Saturday, Mary Magdalene was at home grieving, wondering what the last few years of her life had been for. All was lost.

So, what did she do? She obediently followed the commandment.

She returned to the basics of her faith. She remembered the Holy Word of God given to Moses centuries before. When she didn’t understand what God was doing and perhaps questioned if He was even there, she rehearsed what she did know. While her eyes were fogged with tears, she kept her spiritual eyes fixed upon her God. She was obedient to the seemingly irrelevant, simple commandment that she knew. To rest. To wait. To trust.

You probably know the rest of the story. Mary went to the tomb on Sunday to finish burying her friend at the earliest possible moment. But instead, she became the first person to see the Risen Jesus!

The lesson here is simple. All of us have troubled times in our lives. Big problems, little problems, times when God seems silent and far away. Dead even. Times of grief and doubt. What should I do when I don’t know what to do? Rest. Wait. Trust. Rehearse the basics… the spiritual ABCs. On my Silent Saturday, I am to do the right things I know to do.

Meditate on this: If Mary Magdalene had not obeyed the commandment to observe the Sabbath, if she had ignored the Sabbath and sneaked to the tomb on Saturday, she would have missed the greatest experience of her life. She would have missed seeing the Resurrected Jesus.

If you are in a time of confusion, anxiety, or despair, resolve to be obedient. It’s ok to be sad, but amid your Silent Saturday experience, set your eyes on Jesus. Just as our Lord did in Luke 9:51, be determined. Resolve to follow him completely. Most likely, some clarity will eventually come. But even if it doesn’t, even if you never understand the “why” of your situation, you can find comfort in knowing that you are being faithful in the waiting. And that at the end of the journey, you will, just like Mary Magdalene, hear him lovingly call your name and see Him with your own eyes!

I've just watched My Last Day and it got me thinking...

When it comes to movies about Passion of the Christ, I've seen some that look at crucifiction and subsequent resurrection from points of different people in the New Testament.

I remember one straight-to-DVD movie that was from Doubting Thomas's perspective, where Apostle Thomas was looking for the body of Jesus in various places. In the Scripture he was the one that said he won't believe in resurection until he will see Christ alive and he will put his finger in Christ's wounds. Now, in this movie Thomas was presented as a grieving man, who believed that someone stole the body of his beloved Master, so he was desperately looking for Him, and when in the end he comes back to the rest of Apostles, he finally see Jesus alive and well. In this very moment Thomas is happy, shocked, but also ashamed, because he spent whole this time looking for the dead body of his Master.

(Actually, I would like to find this movie. I quite liked it.)

There was also an older movie (from 1961) about Barabbas. We see how Barabbas is pardoned instead of Christ, how he witnesses the crucifiction and the supernatural events that come with it, and how he later lives his life. At some point he gets captured and even meets a Christian man, who doesn't like him (to put it mildly) once he learns who Barabbas really is. Over time Barabbas learns from this man about Christ and even tries to follow His teachings, but finds it hard. I remember that one element of this movie bothered me - the fact that they used cross as the symbol of Christianity, while it should have been a fish... but I guess it worked more for the overall theme of Barabbas living with the knowledge that a Good Man died instead of him, a mere bandit.

Fairly recently (about four years ago, I think) I was able to watch Risen, which is about Roman soldier Clavius who is tasked by Pontius Pilate to find what happened to Jesus's body. So for the most part of the movie Clavius is investigating Jesus's disciples (including Mary Magdalene) and how Christ was perceived by various people - both believers and skeptics. From Clavius's perspective everything supernatural that was happening, has a rational explenation, but seeing how Jesus affected others, makes the soldier curious. And really, the best scene in this whole movie is when Clavius finally meets Jesus and realizes who stands before him.

Finally, My Last Day is from the perspective of one of two thieves that were crucified alongside with Jesus - the one that shows up in Gospel of Luke, admits that Jesus didn't do anything wrong and asks Him to speak for him to the Father so Jesus says: "You will be with Me in Heaven today." In this movie we are treated to the two very contrasting flashbacks - one with Jesus speaking about taxes (which showcases that Christ didn't do anything bad, He only spoke of things some people didn't like), and one of the thief's crime where he actually killed the man he wanted to rob. The thief knows he's guilty and he knows he's going to die, but Jesus seems to receive harsher punishment, since He's flogged before taking the cross. While others are mocking Jesus in His moment of agony and death, the thief speaks for Him: "We are rightfully receiving punishment, but He is innocent." And we see later that the thief gets to Heaven for his faith and willingness of redemption.

Frankly, these are all very interesting takes on one event.

Female socialization has truly done women a great disservice. Especially when it comes to sex, romance and relationships. I love the drama of the yearning and the theatrics of my emotions, sure. But so many women self indulge in victimhood and hold on to situations that they know in their core is not what they want because they’re convinced that every man that gives them attention just has to be the one. Because there’s only one. One Prince Charming coming to rescue them from themselves. Coming to rescue them from the world of other men. So women convince themselves they feel more than they do, deeper than they do, stronger than they do. They try to make situations work that need to be left alone.

So little is talked about the ego of women. Because that’s also what it is. This desire to be loved and worshipped and placed on a pedestal. Women feel like a man must be obsessed to be in love. A woman will recognize her greatness, her talent, her worth, her beauty and then expects the man she wants to recognize the same in her; expects him to act like he knows. but a man will never truly know a woman’s worth.

Women go into relationships with this “my pussy/my love will change your life” attitude. and women get so drunk off that goddess complex that they delude themselves into thinking a man can appreciate them to the height of their delusion. and then when they predictably don’t, the woman rips herself a part and becomes an emotional mess because she doesn’t understand why her man can’t see her the way she sees her self. narcissism disguised as selflessness.

Men know this about women. They wrote the script. They need women to be so emotionally driven and so willing to make things work. They’ll rarely choose to be better because they’ll never have to. There is always going to be women who will give them the chance to be their number one voyeur. Deep down a lot of women simply want an audience out of a man. A paying customer. Paying with time, attention, affection and money. Witness my beauty! Witness my sensuality! Experience the pleasure of me…and then report back. And men love to watch women and exploit their creative and nurturing energy.

I say this as I just finish listening to MAGDALENE by Fka Twigs. I say this as I go through my own healing/grieving/emotionally erratic experience of getting over someone I never should have gotten with. I say this as I recall my sometimes disdain for Beyoncé and her public pouring out to Jay Z after it’s clear he doesn’t reciprocate the passion. My natal Capricorn moon really be having me disgusted by overt emotional expression. Alas, it’s opposition to my Cancer ascendant makes it hard for me to not ever be steeped in my own emotions.

I say this to all who have loved, out of love.

Those who grieve for the love that had left, perished, and was sucked out of breath.

I say this for all who had loved, had exhausted their love, to the loved ones, who departed and died; to all who grieve; to all who blame the love they have given and see it wasted for the end remains the same—death.

For all who ask—what is the use of my love if my love cannot stop death from his tracks?

Your love is not wasted.

You have shown love, have you not?

Then, you have done divine in the eyes of the heavens above.

You are rewarded with love for you have shown love.

The reward of love is at your door.

Open your door and you will feel the reward the heavens have already given you.

Have you at least, seen there was a door?

Can you see the door?

Realize there was a door? Or a window? Or that it was an open space all along?

See and allow yourself to touch and only then, you can open, even hold, enjoy what you see.

Do not blame the heavens, my loves. This is a path. We all walk next in line.

Have you loved?

Have you lived? Have you died? Have you had fun?

Have you grieved?

Have you angered others and been in anger?

Have you been sad and made others sad?

Have you touched hearts, both big and small?

Have you been touched?

Have you... felt?

Have you forgiven—you—and others?

Have you... been you?

Have you?

These are all the questions they ask from the heavens above.

Are they not simple?

I tell you, they have not died. They have lived.

There in the heavens where joy is eternity. They live.

They tell you, do not grieve. If they are to be asked, they tell grief, sadness or fear has no place in your soul of love. Still, we are humans. We are made to feel and that is indeed what we do, feel.

So, instead, they say and they tell you.

Grieve but do not stay in grief.

Drown but do not stay drowned.

Hear your departed loves.

Would they want you sad? Would they want you wasted?

Would they want you unloving?

They tell you, your love has not been wasted.

Can you hear them?

You have given them all your love, as much as possible as you can give. That is enough. You had been in pain. Stop hurting yourself. That is enough. They do not want you hurt. They hurt as you hurt. They cry as you cry. They tear as you tear. They laugh as you laugh.

Whatever you do to you, you do to them.

We are one.

I am you as you are I.

Your loved ones are grateful for the love you have given, both small and big, forever etched on the souls touched and cherished.

Our paths have been pain, you have given love in the way that you can give love.

You have given love, have shown love, have healed wounds through your mere touch, and have spoken kindness for each soothing word.

You of love have shown them, love, on our paths of pain.

You have shown love, dust and space, rich and poor, low and below, up and above.

You gave love the best way you can and in the way, only you can give.

You eased her pain, even if for a minute.

You gave him comfort, even if for a second.

In the eyes of the heavens above, these mere minutes or seconds of love we give are treasured for eternity by the gods of love above.

You have been treasured for eternity, all of you, dearest way-showers of love.

Can you feel the love from up above?

Do not torment yourself, for you have loved and have always loved, such divine love you do—eternally etched on your soul for all the lives you live.

The love you give is etched on your soul and those departed, a bind that will always connect you and your departed loves beyond the veil, beyond what you see here and through the veil they call death.

It is not death. It is life.

The departed beyond—they live, they love—the same they want to you.

Now and here.

Live.

Love.

Live.

.

All this from the heavens above. Saints and Saintess, your guides and angels. Jesus and Mary Magdalene, all angels from the heavens above from Archangel Michael and the Heavens' battalion of angels.

They speak to you. Hear them. Listen.

.
