Hl. Katharina (Kateri) Tekakwitha
Gefeiert Am 17. April
Hl. Katharina (Kateri) Tekakwitha Büßerin * 1656 in Ossernenon - dem heutigen Auriesville im Bundesstaat New York in den USA † 17. April 1680 in Caughnawaga / Kahnawake in Kanada
Kateri, Indianerin aus dem Irokesenstamm der Mohawks, wurde nach dem frühen Tod ihrer Eltern von Verwandten erzogen. Sie lehnte mehrfach eine Heirat ab und gelobte Jungfräulichkeit. Als 20-jährige wurde sie von einem Jesuitenpater getauft und wurde dadurch sehr schweren Anfeindungen ausgesetzt. Sie schloss sich einer Missionsstation der Jesuiten bei Montreal an. Dort führte sie ein Leben der Buße und des Gebets. Nach ihrem Tod ereigneten sich Wunder und Heilungen. Ihre Gebeine sind im Reservat der Mohawk-Indianer in Caughnawaga aufbewahrt. Die "Lilie der Mohawks" war die erste Indianerin, die selig gesprochen wurde. Papst Benedikt XVI. sprach sie im Oktober 2012 heilig.

I'm reading the lord of the rings and I'm once again amazed at how... good most characters are. Like, they are genuinely good people. They are a bunch of kindhearted, gracious, caring people, coming together under adverse circumstances and trying to figure things out and find a solution and support each other through it all. Like Frodo and Sam meet Faramir and Faramir is a bit suspicious at first and kind of implies Frodo may be a spy, and then when he hears his story and he's like Frodo, I pressed you so hard at first. Forgive me! It was unwise in such an hour and place. And this blows.my.mind. He wasn't even particularly mean or threatening to him in the beginning, he's just such a kind, considerate man, recognizing the kindness and honesty of another man. And they're all like that. Even Gollum starts slowly changing (for a short while) when he encounters Frodo because that's the thing about kindness and humility and grace, they are contagious. They transform people, even a creature like Gollum cannot be immune to that. Like, you may consider all this simple and basic and I get it but, hear me out. It is quite rare to see that in modern media and it is also pretty difficult to pull off in a way that is not corny and simplistic. It is mind blowing that you actually don't have to present the entire palette of human cruelty and vice in order to tell a compelling story, contrary to popular belief. Lotr does the exact opposite, and it is just beautiful and it warms my heart. Especially taking into consideration tolkien's pretty grim growing-up experience, him being a double orphan without a home, raised between an orphanage and a priest and having no family apart from his brother and then the war and then he almost dies and then he's poor as hell and then a second war and it all makes sense somehow. He writes to his wife who is also an orphan two days before the marriage "the next few years will bring us joy and content and love and sweetness such as could not be if we hadn't first been two homeless children and had found one another after long waiting" and, yes, yes! The love and sweetness just radiate from his work, the entire lotr series is a little radiant bubble of hope and love and grace that he imagined in his head to deal with a dismal reality and then he just gave that to the world, and isn't that what imagination and art is all about after all?

Tenoch Huerta on why the idea that “hard work always reaps its rewards” isn’t true. Talent and hard work alone doesn’t guarantee entry into certain spaces (you’ll always be sidelined even when you’re included), but it will determine your longevity once you force your way in.

I feel like if I saw Shaxx wearing a "the man, the myth, the legend" apron and flipping burgers on a Foreman grill in somebody's backyard, I wouldn't even be surprised

Okay but if a big icy demon lord wanted me to willingly separate my body from my consciousness for two minutes then sending a pretty ghost girl to convince me to do it would be a really effective way to go about it so

HANNIBAL (2013-2015) — SEASON ONE
Killing must feel good to God, too. He does it all the time, and are we not created in God's image? Depends on who you ask. God's terrific. He dropped a church roof on thirty-four of his worshipers last Wednesday night in Texas, while they sang a hymn. Did God feel good about that? He felt powerful.

I take it you don't think of dany as an colonizer or imperialist either
colonialism 1. the policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control over another country, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically.
While Daenerys took over cities in Slaver's Bay, she's hardly "another country". She didn't bring settlers to replace the original population, and she quite literally states she wants to plant trees and build peaceful society, which hardly counts as economical exploitation.
imperialism 1. a policy of extending a country's power and influence through colonization, use of military force, or other means.
Again, Dany's not a country, and while she takes over said cities, there's no colonization happening. She only brought her small khalasar, most of the people following her are sort of locals, only from non-ruling classes.
This is what she does. Ironically mostly with already present military forces (The Unsullied):
conquer 1. overcome and take control of (a place or people) by military force.
overthrow 1. remove forcibly from power.

Please try not to start any arguments, this is purely for curiosity's sake! Judgement isn't cool and we all have personal reasons for our feelings that we are not obligated to explain to everyone. If anything, take this post as an opportunity to find like-minded people to yourself and curate your experience!
