The Raising of Lazarus of Bethany

[indynerdgirl]

My friend's brand new baby girl, Vianney, who was born on Sept 1st, has been in the NICU since Thursday (Sept 14th) and has just been diagnosed with hemimegalencephaly. It's a rare, non-hereditary genetic mutation that caused a malformation of one side of her brain, causing seizures. She'll have to stay in the hospital for several more weeks while they try to get her seizures to slow down. She needs brain surgery but has to make it to 6 months before she can have it. Unless a miracle happens, she will need special care her whole life.

I work for the Little Sisters of the Poor and one of the sisters has suggested we start a novena asking for the intercession of the newly beatified Ulma Family, particularly asking for the special intercession of their unborn baby that was beatified with them, for a complete healing of Vianney.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could spread the word to everyone you know, asking them to help pray for a miracle for little Vianney and her family.

Parents are Jennifer & Shad, and Vianney has two older sisters, Cecilia & Zelie.

Prayer for the Intercession of the Ulma Family

Almighty and eternal God,

we thank You for the testimony of the heroic love of the spouses Józef and Wiktoria with their children, who gave their lives to save persecuted Jews.

May their prayers and example support families in Christian life and help everyone to follow the true path of holiness.

Lord, if it is in accordance with Your will, kindly grant the grace for the complete healing of little Vianney, for which we are asking You through their intercession and count them among the Blessed.

Through Christ Our Lord

Amen

Our Father..., Hail Mary..., Glory Be...

Someone else's miracle

I saw God at Walmart last week.

A mom was getting shoes for her two little boys. They looked to be about 4 and 7 years old.

She had found a pair of shoes that fit the older one. And he really liked them.

The younger one really liked them too. And that was the problem.

Because the 4-year-old didn’t just want the same shoes that she found for his big brother. He wanted the same shoes – in the same size as his big brother.

She was trying to get him to try on the shoes, but in a size that would fit him. And he was having none of it.

The more she tried, the more upset he became. Because she wouldn’t give him the same thing that she got for his brother.

He didn’t understand that she was trying to get him shoes that would work for him. Instead of the comically huge ones that he was demanding.

It gave me a glimpse of how you and I must look from God’s perspective.

When we see something that God did for someone else – someone else’s healing, someone else’s healthy relationship, someone else’s promotion, someone else’s successful struggle with addiction, someone else’s growing business.

And get bent out of shape because God didn’t do the exact same thing for us. Because He didn’t give us someone else’s miracle.

We all do it, just like the people in today’s Gospel. We pray for something, we ask God for it, we believe for it. And then get upset when God doesn’t do it for us the same way that He did it for someone else.

Whether our reaction takes the form of doubting ourselves, wondering whether we prayed and believed hard enough for it. Or if it takes the form of doubting God. Maybe even rejecting God because we didn’t get someone else’s miracle (or trying to kill Jesus like in today’s Gospel). It really doesn’t matter.

Because all of them leave us in the same place as the 4-year-old who was angry with his mom for not getting him the shoes he was demanding.

His anger makes perfect sense. But only to his self-absorbed 4-year-old brain.

All because he can’t see the big picture. Because he can’t see beyond himself enough to trust that his mother loves him and wants the best for him.

The challenge for you and me when it comes to our relationship with God?

To see if we can do better than a self-absorbed 4-year-old.

Leverage 1x4 - "The Miracle Job"

the way that Aziraphale’s faith in God is actually the same thing as his faith in Crowley

in our world, faith in god(s) is a proxy for faith in other people. gods don’t literally exist, but we still feel their effects because their followers do things in their names — things which are impossible for mortals but possible for groups of mortals

like take voting for example. a single vote is unlikely to change the result. but the faithful don’t care if they’re doing something individually irrational. they’re not doing it for the outcome; god will handle the outcome. and as a result, they DO get the outcome: faith groups are consistently overrepresented in government. their own actions become the divine intervention

in Good Omens, the angels together did all the things God brags about to Job, like setting constellations in the sky. Aziraphale and Crowley’s half-miracles added up to 25 lazarii. when they told the magic shopkeeper they’d handle the miracle, that’s exactly what they did, because acting on faith (in each other) IS the miracle

is fixing heaven impossible? yes. but with God* all things are possible

*whoever actually set the constellations in the sky

#apropros of nothing: this is also how strikes work #each person is doing something that is individually irrational #they’re all doing HALF a miracle #25 lazarii #good omens #good omens spoilers #good omens 2 #good omens 2 spoilers #exvangelical #exvie #ex christian #good omens meta #good omens analysis #good omens speculation #anyway been thinking a lot about how choirs are the voice of god #not because any gods literally exist #but ‘wherever 2 or 3 are gathered together’…

"In the world there has been only one positively beautiful person - Christ.  Therefore, the appearance of this wonderful, infinitely beautiful person is in itself an infinite miracle.  The entire Gospel of John is devoted to precisely this. In it, St. John declares that the whole miracle is in the incarnation alone, in the very manifestation or emergence of the beautiful."

~Fyodor Dostoyevsky

I think it's so funny when Christian flat out reject the concept of being intersex like oh so me and about 2% of the population aren't real but you expect me to believe homeboy's gonna come back after (holy) ghosting us for over 2000 years?

#I plan on coming out to my dad as trans this weekend #And thought about the time I explained what intersex is to my uncle #and how he flat out refused to except it as a real thing #which is fuckin wild #male and female should be used as adjectives not nouns #cause there's so many factors that contribute to biological sex that it'd be easier to say every person is their own sex #but yea i'm medically considered intersex cause of my flavor of PCOS #and other issues #it's just so wild cause you'd think that would be a great 'miracle' for them to brag about #'Look at science say there's female and male but Jesus says in Galatians there is no male and female because we are all one in Christ.' #Like the opportunity was literally right there #oh well #florida gov ronald desantis if ur reading this you know what would be so fuckin funny for you to say right now? #also I'll be back on the book soon I've been Working. got 38.5 hours the past 2 weeks tho let's gooo (limit is 40 as a pt student) #[pt working and full time student not pt student] #bro fundie christians' obsession with sex/genitalia in general is fuckin wild #ex christian #religious trauma
