the majority of this lent and ramadan will overlap and i already know i will spend every single second of every single day thinking about those who will have to fast on empty stomachs. those who have been fasting since october. those who won’t be able to pray without constant bombardment. those who have lost too much to even be able to enjoy breaking their fast with loved ones ): … no prayer no food no water no loved ones . all our joys are being destroyed in the name of evil.

#it’s also really sad to see christians and muslims spend so much money on ‘lent prep’ or ‘ramadan prep’ but not spare a single dollar #towards those struggling #isn’t that defeating the whole point of fasting ?

Luxury.  Refinement.  Power.

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. The Holy Spirit asks Jesus if He forgot His lunch, and Jesus responds in the affirmative, as if forgetting His lunch is something He was supposed to do.  The Holy Spirit's question is similar to a mother reminding her children to pack their lunches for school, but the opposite, reminding Jesus to forget His lunch instead of bring it.  This is because Jesus is going into the desert to fast (eat less than usual as a religious sacrifice), so He's not supposed to bring lunch with him. 2. The Bible translation I drew from said, "The Spirit drove Jesus out to the desert."  To "drive" someone can either mean (1) to encourage, cause, or force them to do something; or (2) to take them somewhere by automobile.  In the Bible, they mean the former.  I, being of sound mind and gentle soul, innocently wonder, "Why not both?" 3. Jesus declares that he's "going TO fast" (going to eat less than usual).  But this sounds like "going TOO fast" (going at an irresponsible speed).  The Holy Spirit assumes Jesus is saying the latter, and corrects Him by saying They're going the speed limit (i.e. not too fast). 4. The car is based on the one featured in the hit television program, "Joe Pera Talks With You."  It's a white 2001 Buick Park Avenue, which his students call, "God's car."  Now, it IS God's car.

I have a rat infection in my brain, only it's one rat, and his name is Rollo Flamme

Also cartoony style experiment

And Winter Bloom, because they're cute

Also I completely forgot I wrote Neige and Jess to get together AFTER Jess gets a haircut (after book 6), so the doodle makes no sense canon wise and it will annoy me for approximately one day

Good Friday brings the Lenten LOTR reading to (of course) Mount Doom. And reading this chapter in this context really drives home how Tolkien's language and imagination are (again, of course) formed by the liturgy. The echoing of gestures, words, imagery from the Passion narratives is obvious, but done in -- I think -- really interesting ways, that resist crude parallels. Also I cried about Sam again. Which is unsurprising, really.

#lotr lent #rotk #come to think of it #the good friday parallels also include the ways fasting just does weird things to you

Fasting can so easily be done with the spirit of pride. And if we think that observing Jesus' command —"do not let your left hand know what your right is doing (Mt 6:3 [cf. 6:16-18])— means never telling anyone anything about our fasting we are mistaken. For the most dangerous audience for spiritual pride is ourselves. For this reason, sharing our Lenten program with someone who knows us well (like a spouse, a close friend or relative, a spiritual advisor), and letting them express their honest opinion about it, and thus being ready to reconsider it — this is a sign of a healthy Lenten fast, or a practice designed to take us out of ourselves, to relativize our wills, and so expand our hearts to embrace the fully cosmic plan of God revealed at Easter. We might grow in some virtue (or at least lose some weight) by giving up sweets for Lent. But, then again, we'll likely grow in many virtues we really need if we submit our program to the judgment of another, and humbly ready ourselves to hear something like, "Oh, that's nice, but perhaps what you might really want to work on this Lent is something like…"

- Fr. John Bayer, O. Cist (Fasting in the Rule of St. Benedict During Lent). Bolded emphases added.

Cette vidéo de 6 minutes donne la pêche pour tenir bon dans une course qui va durer encore 25 longs jours. Le jeûne obligatoire est comme un tamis qui permet de trier qui est qui dans la masse. Les jours maigres, les jours gras, nous donnent de manger 1 jour sur 2 dans la semaine. Qui en est capable? La pratique religieuse est une course de fond spirituelle, et pourtant très physique. Il y a ceux qui courent... Et il y a les "pélerins non-marcheurs" comme on dit. On verra bien si les grosses dames tartuffes de paroisse toujours pressées de parler auront perdu chacune leurs 30 kilos surnuméraires d'ici le 31 Mars pour mesurer en actes la ferveur dont elles se réclament... Et qu'elles prêchent aux autres!

Ces deux moines remettent les idées en place et replacent les actes réels au bout des idées. Que leur dire à part un grand merci pour l'exemple qu'ils donnent?

Lent 2023

“The ultimate goal of fasting is to help each one of us to make a complete gift of self to God”

Confession.

I still haven't made a decision on what to give up for Lent.

Actual fasting or giving up other food things may not be good when I'm not fully out of my winterdepression, along with my eating disorder.

I already spend a considerable less amount at my computer than I did just two months ago. And Palestine is too important to even consider removing myself more from tumblr.

Then I thought about gossiping and negative talk, but seeing I'm already less at my computer (and SL) that's not a real sacrifice, and there wasn't even that much to begin with.

He's makin' Jesus an offer He can refuse!

___ JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. The devil is not a muppet snake this time.  I'm sorry.  I wanted him to seem serious at first before the punchline, and the muppet snake is impossible to take seriously.  It will return again, I'm sure. 2. Jesus goes out into the desert to fast, and the devil approaches Him with a temptation: "You must be hungry; why not turn some rocks into bread to eat?"  Jesus replies, "Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word from the mouth of God."  In this cartoon, the devil gives a truncated version of this temptation, as if he hasn't spent much time fleshing it out yet.  Instead of insisting Jesus turn rocks into bread to eat, he just skips the middle-man and tells Jesus to eat a rock.  Jesus refuses, because man also does not live on rocks alone.  Man does not live on rocks at all.  Rocks are not food.  Rocks are rocks.
