Holy Archangel Who Strengthened Our Lord in His Agony: Prayer of the Day for Sunday, September 29, 2024 #Pray

I salute thee, holy Angel who didst comfort my Jesus in His agony, and with thee I praise the most holy Trinity for having chosen thee from among all the holy Angels to comfort and strengthen Him who is the comfort and strength of all that are in affliction. By the honor thou didst enjoy and by the obedience, humility and love wherewith thou didst assist the sacred Humanity of Jesus, my Savior, when He was fainting for very sorrow at seeing the sins of the world and especially my sins, I …

Foster parents demand that 12-year-old foster child constantly cooks and cleans for them, get offended when she doesn’t want to help them out of debt as a 32-year-old adult: ‘After the way they treated me, they have no right to ask for anything’ #Fun

Being a foster kid isn’t easy. Unless you get really lucky, there is a high likelihood you will spend a lot of your childhood bouncing between homes without the level of care that you deserve. Even those who manage to find a semi-permanent home are not guaranteed the best treatment. It can be a punishing system to go through.

This is something that one woman knows all too well after the ghosts of her foster childhood past came back to haunt her recently. At the age of 12, she was placed in a home with foster parents who treated her as their “live-in maid”, a situation that she gladly escaped once she went to college. Now 32 and with a successful career in marketing, her so-called family called her expecting her to help them out of a tough financial situation. She refused, and they weren’t happy. It’s no surprise whose side the internet was on.

29 Memes For Another Season #Fun

It is late September, and you know what that means. As she does every season, Mariah Carey is beginning her meteoric rise to the top of the Billboard charts. There is no Christmas song as iconic as All I Want For Christmas Is You; at this point, I wonder if there ever will be. Part of the appeal of Christmas songs is that they come back every year, which is why we’re still listening to Christmas songs from the 50s on the radio and why a song released in 1994 is still topping the charts. If Mariah beat Bing Crosby, maybe someday in the future, someone might beat Mariah. I doubt it, though.

While I do respect the lambs, some of us don’t want to start celebrating Christmas this early. After all, we still have Halloween and Thanksgiving to look forward to,  and I don’t want to max out on my Christmas spirit too early. If you’re a casual fan of Christmas, you’ll love these amusing but mostly unseasonal memes

Saint Matthew #Saints

Matthew was a Jew who worked for the Romans as a tax collector. His fellow Jews considered him a traitor and resented him. The Pharisees viewed him, and all tax collectors, as sinners. So it was a real shock to hear that Jesus called such a man to be one of his followers. But that’s the kind of thing that Jesus did.
