Kyrie
“Why don’t you say it in English?”
I didn’t know her. I had never seen her at Mass before. But that was the first thing she said to me after Mass.
My insightful response – “What?”
“Why don’t you say ‘Lord have mercy’ in English?”
She was annoyed at having to repeat herself to a rather slow deacon.
“Actually, sometimes I do say in in English. But mostly, I say it in Greek. Because that’s the original language for the Mass.
Kyrie eleison, in Greek, is part of the earliest known Masses. When the Mass went to Latin, the Kyrie stayed Greek.
St. Joan of Arc said it, at the last Mass she heard before the English burned her at the stake.
St. Maximillian Kolbe said it, at the last Mass he celebrated before the Nazi’s starved him to death.
For me, it’s a call-back. To the beginning. And to every generation between then and now. The saints we know, and the saints only God knows.
It’s a way of claiming our part in that big picture.”
She left without saying much. Apparently, that was not the desired answer.
Looking back, I think I left out the best part.
The Kyrie isn’t just a few words in Greek that we keep around for old times’ sake.
And it doesn’t just represent something much greater – it is something much greater.
Something worth holding on to. The thread that runs through it all. And the heart of our Faith.
Because the heart of our Faith is the mercy of God.
Kyrie eleison.

I’ve had people get mad at me for calling abortion satanic. Meanwhile pro-aborts are desecrating the Eucharist because the decision of whether or not abortion should be legal might be going back to the states.

Comfortember 2023 Day 8. Grief/Mourning
He had to find the money to buy black clothes and elegant shoes somehow. He couldn't possibly show up in all the fishnets and the glittery, colourful heels he usually wore. Couldn't embarrass him like that. Just the fact that he would show up was bad enough, Caleb was sure of it…

Tried to look up some traditional Gregorian chants for the triduum because I personally DO like plainsong and chant, my dumb ass folk punk loving brain is like. Actually. Things that are acapella and a little raw are The Best and more emotive than super polished choral pieces. That doesn't mean I'm gonna be like actually TLM is Inherently Objectively superior and we should abolish Vatican 2. But unfortunately that led me to a buckwild trad website about sacred music and all these bullshit articles about v2 and women and like. GOOD GRIEF I JUST WANTED THE HOLY WEEK ANTIPHONS NOT UR ABSOLUTE RANCID ASS

The Knights Templar had many great sayings.
Deus Vult
Da Pacem Domine
Shielded by faith we fight
Kyrie Eleison
Some of these we still use today in Catholicism and Christianity.
The Knights are done! Very happy with them. I'll post some better pics in the coming days. I used a lot of techniques I learned from commissions and other artists. They took much longer than I anticipated, but that's ok- commissions and life take the cake.
Like what you see? Ask my about commissions!

Kyrie Eleison by Lapin Lunaire Games/Jinx
Entry - More by Jinx - @lapinlunaire-games CW: blood/violence mention, religious themes
Not so merciful... ... is the "kindness of the vampire". Spared from the release of death, a vampire transforms you into her kind, no matter your protest. Forced to live as an undead, forgetting what it meant to be alive, human, despair takes a hold of you. Until you repay your Maker her kindness... The imagery from the prose is delectable. A succulent and dark short piece.

Helping out with an anarchist food distro the other day and we're set up nearby some people flyering for their church. As we're walking up to our spot one of them says to me "have you thought about where you're going when you die?" Aye mate, I have. "And where are you going?" I said "to be with the Lord, brother!" but I think he and the comrade I was walking with both thought I was joking.
In hindsight, I find it kind of striking to notice that while the Christians were giving out leaflets, the anarchists were giving out food. Says something about priorities I guess.

Kyrie Eleison

Kyrie Eleison [IFDB]
Kyrie Eleison (Κύριε, ἐλέησον) Translated from the Ancient Greek: Lord, have mercy. Simultaneously a petition and a prayer of thanksgiving; an acknowledgement of what God has done, what God is doing, and what God will continue to do.
The sun set a long while ago. In the long night that has stretched on since, Pandora has had ample time to think about who she used to be, what she's become, and what might lie ahead.
500 words. Created for the Anti-Romance Jam 2023 and Neo-Twiny Jam 2023.

Comfortember 2023 Day 6. Notes
Sometimes it's still hard to keep up the life he had made for himself. But with every passing day and every note his therapist makes him put up around the house (which he used to consider, frankly, quite silly, before they grew on him) it gets just a little easier.
He only hopes one day it'll all be as natural to him as hating himself feels.
