"The Spirit moves us to see God in the littleness and vulnerability of a baby, yet we at times risk seeing our consecration only in terms of results, goals, and success: we look for influence, for visibility, for numbers. This is a temptation. The Spirit, on the other hand, asks for none of this. He wants us to cultivate daily fidelity and to be attentive to the little things entrusted to our care. How touching is the fidelity shown by Simeon and Anna! Each day they go to the Temple, each day they keep watch and pray, even though time passes and nothing seems to happen. They live their lives in expectation, without discouragement or complaint, persevering in fidelity and nourishing the flame of hope that the Spirit has kindled in their hearts."
-- Pope Francis

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT ANGELA MERICI
The Patroness of Strength, Determination and Courage
Feast Day: January 27
"Have faith and keep up your courage!"
Angela Merici has the double distinction of founding the first of what are now called 'secular institutes' and the first teaching order of women in the Church.
Born in Desenzano, Italy, she was orphaned in her teens. As a young woman, with her heart centered on Christ, Angela joined the Third Order of St. Francis and embraced austerity. In a visionary experience, she felt called to found a 'company' of women.
Angela was invited to become a live-in companion for a widow in the nearby town of Brescia. There she became the spiritual advisor of a group of men and women with ideals of spiritual renewal and service to those in need. While on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1524, Angela was struck with blindness. She proceeded to visit the sacred shrines, seeing them with her spirit. On the way back while praying before a crucifix, Angela's sight was restored.
At age 60, Angela and 12 other women began the Company of St. Ursula, named for a patroness of medieval universities and venerated as a leader of women. This constituted a new way of life: single women consecrated to Christ and living in the world rather than in a monastery. With Angela as their 'mother and mistress,' Company members did not live in community, wore no special clothing, and made no formal vows.
Angela Merici died in Brescia, Italy, in 1540. Clothed in the habit of a Franciscan tertiary, her body was interred in Brescia’s Church of Saint' Afra. Four years later the Company's Rule that Angela had composed, prescribing the practices of chastity, poverty and obedience, was approved by the pope.
In the early 1600s, Companies that had expanded into France were re-organized into the religious Order of St. Ursula, to teach girls. Angela's words continue to inspire the Ursuline nuns' mission of education, a mission that spread worldwide. The Company of St. Ursula also continued to exist and is federated worldwide today with members in 30 countries. Angela Merici was canonized by Pope Pius VII in 1807.

SAINT OF THE DAY (January 27)
Angela Merici, foundress of the Ursuline Sisters, was born in the small Italian town of Desenzano on the shore of Lake Garda on 21 March1474.
She and her older sister, Giana Maria, were left orphans when she was ten years old.
They went to live with a wealthy uncle in the town of Salo where, without the benefit of formal schooling, Angela grew in poise, wisdom and grace.
Young Angela was very distressed when her sister suddenly died without receiving the last rites of the church and prayed that her sister's soul rest in peace.
In a vision, it was said that she received a response that her sister was in heaven in the company of the saints.
Moreover, the age in which Angela lived and worked (the 16th century) was a time that saw great suffering on the part of the poor in society.
Injustices were carried on in the name of the government and the Church, which left many people both spiritually and materially powerless and hungry.
The corruption of moral values left families split and hurting. Wars among nations and the Italian city-states left towns in ruins.
In 1516, Angela came to live in the town of Brescia, Italy. Here, she became a friend of the wealthy nobles of the day and a servant of the poor and suffering.
Angela spent her days in prayer, fasting and service. Her reputation spread and her advice was sought by both young and old, rich and poor, religious and secular, male and female. But still, Angela had not yet brought her vision to fruition.
After visiting the Holy Land where she reportedly lost her sight, Angela returned to Brescia, which had become a haven for refugees from the many wars then wracking Italy.
There, she gathered around her a group of women who looked toward Angela as an inspirational leader and as a model of apostolic charity.
It was these women, many of them daughters of the wealthy and some orphans themselves, who formed the nucleus of Angela's Company of St. Ursula.
Angela named her company after St. Ursula because she regarded her as a model of consecrated virginity.
Angela and her original company worked out details of the rule of prayer, promises and practices by which they were to live.
The Ursulines opened orphanages and schools. In 1535, the Institute of St. Ursula was formally recognized by the Pope and Angela was accorded the title of foundress.
During the five remaining years of her life, Angela devoted herself to composing a number of Counsels by which her daughters could happily live.
She encouraged them to "live in harmony, united together in one heart and one will, be bound to one another by the bond of charity, treating each other with respect, helping one another, bearing with one another in Christ Jesus; if you really try to live like this, there is no doubt that the Lord our God will be in your midst."
In 1580, Charles Borromeo, Bishop of Milan, inspired by the work of the Ursulines in Brescia, encouraged the foundation of Ursuline houses in all the dioceses of Northern Italy.
Charles also encouraged the Ursulines to live together in community rather than in their own homes.
He also exhorted them to publicly profess vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. These actions formalized Angela's original "company" into a religious order of women.
Angela Merici died on 27 January 1540.
She was beatified by Pope Clement XIII in Rome on 30 April 1768 and canonized by Pope Pius VII on 24 May 1807.

"Do not lose heart, even if you should discover that you lack qualities necessary for the work to which you are called. He who called you will not desert you, but the moment you are in need he will stretch out his saving hand. Strive to be faithful to that which God has called you." (St Angela Merici).
"Remember the days past when, after you had been enlightened, you endured a great contest of suffering. At times you were publicly exposed to abuse and affliction; at other times you associated yourselves with those so treated. You even joined in the sufferings of those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, knowing that you had a better and lasting possession.
"Therefore, do not throw away your confidence; it will have great recompense. You need endurance to do the will of God and receive what he has promised.
"For, after just a brief moment, he who is to come shall come; he shall not delay. But my just one shall live by faith, and if he draws back I take no pleasure in him. We are not among those who draw back and perish, but among those who have faith and will possess life." (Hebrews 10: 32 - 39).
Friday 27th January 2023 in the 3rd Week in Ordinary Time is the feast of St Angela Merici, (1474 - 1540), Virgin. Italian. She founded the Ursuline Order, the first women teaching order in the Church. St Angela believed that the formation and education of Christian women is society's greatest investment.
Convinced of this truth, St. Angela Merici founded the Company of St. Ursula, [Ursulines] a secular institute devoted to educating young women to be Christian wives, mothers, teachers, and catechists. The Ursulines are flourishing today in their teaching ministry.
Our key Scripture for today is from Hebrews 10: 32 - 39. Specifically, we focus on this injunction:
"Therefore, do not throw away your confidence; it will have great recompense. You need endurance to do the will of God and receive what he has promised."
The Christian life is a warfare. A daily battle with the forces of evil. In this battle like real life battles, there are mountain-top moments and there may be plenty of valleys. How can you fight to win?
#1. Your confidence of victory comes from the word of God. Forget it and you are doomed.
#2. The soldier of Jesus Christ must be imbued with a hardened spirit of endurance. Nothing worthwhile has ever been achieved without peserverance. The enemy will be coming at you again and again. As one battle ends, he may begin another without pulse.
But your persistence will break the resistance.
#3. Remember that your brethren all over the world are fighting the same battle. (1 Peter 5: 9; 1 Corinthians 10: 23).
You will emerge from the valley stronger and renewed with deeper conviction in:
#1. The just person lives by faith. Faith in the promise of God which can never fail.
#2. A firm conviction that the gracious and mysterious will of God is the best thing for you always, everywhere and in everything.
Armed with this new knowledge, you resolve never again to neglect daily prayer, daily nourishment from the word of God. You commit yourself never to slacken in doing good to your neighbor.

Halloween: I don’t know if we’re planning to do anything this year, but my fav costumes I’ve done are Cersei Lannister and Ursula. I wish I ST had come out before my guy cut his hair off because he’s a dead ringer for Argyle and I would have had a blast putting that outfit together.
Good things: Things are kinda bleak right now (family things) but my boyfriend surprised me with a nice dinner out which was really nice and we had some good laughs.
okay. part two :)
omg?! how cool are your old costumes?! i bet they looked great too! also, oh no!! maybe your boyfriend can grow it out in time?? if he went as argyle, who would you go as? maybe you could do an eden/argyle thing next year, if not this year!
also. oh my god. that’s so 🥹 your boyfriend seems so sweet! i’m glad you two got to have some time to yourselves to enjoy the good food and company of each other and we’re able to laugh!! i also hope things start to improve with your family situation, however that looks for you 💘

Just submitted my letter of request to make my first temporary commitments*, and the Council will discuss my request, along with my formation guides' comments, at their meeting during this coming week 🙏
*Fun Church history time! Most members of the Company of St. Ursula don't take vows because when the Company was originally founded in the 1500s, if a woman took vows Church law said she had to be fully cloistered, which defeated the entire point of secular consecration. So instead St. Angela wrote in our Rule that we make "firm commitments" to the Evangelical Counsels of poverty, celibate chastity, and obedience. (OK technically the Italian most directly translates as "intentions," but the connotation of "intention" in English is too wishy-washy for what we're doing so we say "commitments")

Happy Feast of St. Angela Merici!
St. Angela created a new way of life for women in her culture, "to whom patriarchy offered only marriage or monastic life. In the Company of St. Ursula, single women consecrated themselves to God while living in their homes and working at their jobs. Her lay spirituality is alive today."
You can learn more about her life and the Company she founded at

Reminisce of the time a few years ago I hunted for these books like a hawk because goodreads rec. them to me. These were quite hard to get and some I regretted having acquired them lol.
Here some of the titles
The Perilous Gard by Elizabeth Marie Pope. I love this one. Very Rereadable. I also like her other book, the Sherwood ring. No regrets on these
An Earthly knight by Janet McNaughton. Nope DNF. (I was in Tam lin phase then lol but this one I shall passed) Regrets!
Mara, Daughter of the Nile by Eloise Jarvis McGraw. This is so fun. I may reread sometimes in the future.
The Raging Quiet by Sherryl Jordan. I like the book fine but will not reread.
Time enough for drums by Ann Rinaldi. Right this was interesting for me but as the internet keep telling me the age gap in this one is bothering me a lot.
Keturah and lord death by Martine Leavitt. I couldn't really get pass the MC self consciousness and the way the story was told. Regrets!
Summers at castle auburn by Sharon Shinn. I love her Archangel book. (1 st book only) and this one also supposed to be without flaws. Only there are quite a few of issues that disturb me.
The Hollow kingdom by Claire B. Dunkle. Hmm will not reread. On the stockholm syndrome note.
A Face like glasses by Frances Hardinge. Was glued to the pages literally. Could not put it down. Felt the same thrills reading these like when I read Garth Nix's keys to the kingdom. Might reread but y'know it won't be like the first time ever again.
Dragon's bait by Vivian Vande Velde. Felt like a cliffhanger with no second book. Not that interesting. Regrets
11. The Blue sword by Robin Mckinley. Can't say I regret this but I'd felt that this should have been better. Not to mention the weird prequel book that I won't reread again.
12. The Belgariad series by David Eddings. Loved these while it lasted. I got bored with the second series. Not rereadable to me.
13. The Changeover by Margaret Mahy. Like it. Not gonna reread.
14. The Changeling sea by Patricia A. Mckillip. I regreted that this was the first Mckillip book I'd ever come across. Dreamy but not engaging. My favorite of hers are the forgotten beast of Eld, In the forest of Serre, the Riddlemaster series, and Winter rose.
15. War for the Oaks by Emma Bull. Very entertaining. I love it. Haven’t reread this since.
16. Song of the lioness series by Tamora Pierce. I was undecided about these. Well I like the Immortals better than this one. Trickster duology impressed me the most. Not regret these but still haven’t reread them.
17. Sabriel by Garth Nix. Special to me because I read this first on audiobook. What a thrilling experience. I was so crazy about the Abhorsen lore for months. Haven’t reread also.
18. Wildwood dancing by Juliet Merrilier. I was crazy about nearly all of her books for a time. Reread this along with Heart’s blood and Daughter of the forrest many times. It was good but didn’t really hold up to now.
19. Enchanted forest chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede. Like but not love. I like Mairelon’s books better or even the sorcerer and cecelia book.
20. Crown duel by Sherwood Smith. Love the books though Mel’s impulsiveness irked me lots of time. The starts of my obsession with her Sartorias-deles saga. Too many books with vastly different target audience, I gave up trying to read them all at some point lol. Love banner of the damned and the Inda books though.
21. Sally Lockhart’s series by Philip Pullman. Yeah I like his spectacular HDM but I like these more. Sally is so cool. No regrets.
22. The Black magician triology by Trudi Canavan. Used to be my guilty pleasure. because of the ending I will not reread.
23. The Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb. Love these and the third trilogy also. Regret reading the second. Won’t reread because it was too painful. Also if I could one day reread them, I might continue with the series.
24. Earthsea cycle. By Ursula K. Le Guin. Favorite series. Reread many times. Will continue to recommend them.
25. Mistborn series. By Brandon Sanderson. Love these but won’t reread because I can’t go thru all of that again.
26. The chronicle of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. Read on audiobook. Like them but haven’t reread since.
27. Lumatere chronicles by Melina Marchetta. So intense lol, it was good but I won’t go thru all that again.
30. Tales from the flat earth by Tanith lee. Did not regret. So dark and arabian-ish. I especially love Simmu’s stories and Chuz. Her B&B retelling in Red as blood is also my fav. So unique. But I regret buying her Claidi’s journals and Paradys books.
31. I, Coriander by Sally Gardner. So pretty cover. The stories was good for my teen years. Did not reread since.
32. A Company of swans by Eva Ibbotson. Gosh this was unexpectedly cute. So many weird things but still it works for me. Haven’t reread.
33. The Ivy tree by Mary Stewart. This book lied to me! I was so obsessed with the pseudo amnesia thing. First read on audiobook. One time is enough because the suspense can be experienced only one time.
34. The Seer and the sword by Victoria Hanley. Regrets. The plot was supposedly engaging but I couldn’t care less.
35. The Blue castle by L.M. Montgomery. Beautiful prose. Like the plot very much. Now if I could really find the time to read Anne of green gables.
36. Book of a thousand days by Shannon Hale. Nice. Can’t remember much but I like this enough to draw a doodle. I like her Austenland better. That was hilarious.
37. Narnia books by C.S. Lewis. I love these esp. the Dawn trader one. Haven’t reread yet.
39. The savage Damsel and the dwarf by Gerald Morris. Funny. I remembered that much.
Other books I regret are The books of Pelinor by Alison Croggon. Darkangel triology by Meredith Ann Pierce. Knight and Rogue by Hilari Bell, A college of magics by Caroline Stevermer, Riverside by Ellen Kushner.

SAINT OF THE DAY (January 27)
Angela Merici, foundress of the Ursuline Sisters, was born in the small Italian town of Desenzano on the shore of Lake Garda on 21 March 1474.
As a young girl, Angela lost in succession to her sister and parents. She went to live with a wealthy uncle in the town of Salo where, without benefit of formal schooling, Angela grew in poise, wisdom, and grace.
The age in which Angela lived and worked was a time that saw great suffering on the part of the poor in society.
Injustices were carried on in the name of the government and the Church, which left many people, both spiritually and materially, powerless and hungry.
The corruption of moral values left families split and hurting. Wars among nations and the Italian city-states left towns in ruins.
In 1516, Angela came to live in the town of Brescia, Italy.
Here, she became a friend of the wealthy nobles of the day and a servant of the poor and suffering.
Angela spent her days in prayer and fasting and service.
Her reputation spread and her advice was sought by both young and old, rich and poor, religious and secular, male and female.
But still, Angela had not yet brought her vision to fruition.
After visiting the Holy Land, where she reportedly lost her sight, Angela returned to Brescia, which had become a haven for refugees from the many wars then wracking Italy.
There, she gathered around her a group of women who looked toward Angela as an inspirational leader and as a model of apostolic charity.
It was these women, many of them daughters of the wealthy, some orphans themselves, who formed the nucleus of Angela's Company of St. Ursula.
Angela named her company after St. Ursula because she regarded her as a model of consecrated virginity.
Angela and her original company worked out details of the rule of prayer, promises, and practices by which they were to live.
The Ursulines opened orphanages and schools.
In 1535, the Institute of St. Ursula was formally recognized by the Pope and Angela was accorded the title of foundress.
During the five remaining years of her life, Angela devoted herself to composing a number of Counsels by which her daughters could happily live.
She encouraged them to "live in harmony, united together in one heart and one will. Be bound to one another by the bond of charity, treating each other with respect, helping one another, bearing with one another in Christ Jesus.
If you really try to live like this, there is no doubt that the Lord our God will be in your midst."
In 1580, Charles Borromeo, Bishop of Milan, inspired by the work of the Ursulines in Brescia, encouraged the foundation of Ursuline houses in all the dioceses of Northern Italy.
Charles also encouraged the Ursulines to live together in community rather than in their own homes.
He also exhorted them to publicly profess vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience.
These actions formalized Angela's original "company" into a religious order of women.
Angela Merici died on 27 January 1540
She was beatified by Pope Clement XIII on 30 April 1768. She was canonized by Pope Pius VII on 24 May 1807.

#fjorester#fjord#jester#critical role#cr2#my playlists#tbh this is mostly because#I wanted a Fjorester playlist full of soft songs#and then it kind of became a playlist about finding a home in yourself and in#another person#if you squint there's a vague narrative here#but I'll be the first to admit this is just a self indulgent mix#excuse me I am here
