This is a great film of the life of St. Anthony. It is very interesting and beautiful, and the sound track is a mix of “greatest hits” of Classical music. The narration cards are in English and Italian, as it is an Italian-produced film. St. Anthony died 792 years ago today. If you don’t know much about him, this film will help you get to know one of the most universally beloved saints of the Church.
“The Creator of the Heavens obeys a carpenter; the God of Eternal Glory listens to a poor virgin. Has anyone ever witnessed anything comparable to this? Let the philosopher no longer disdain from listening to the common laborer; the wise, to the simple; the educated, to the illiterate; a child of a prince, to a peasant.“
You loved me from all eternity,
therefore You created me. You loved me after You had made me,
therefore You became Man for me. You loved me after You became Man for me,
therefore You lived and died for me. You loved me after You had died for me,
therefore You rose again for me. You loved me after You had risen for me,
therefore You went to prepare a place for me. You loved me after You had gone to prepare a place for me,
therefore You came back to me. You loved me after You came back to me,
therefore You desired to enter into me and be united to me.
This is the meaning of the Blessed Sacrament.
The mystery of love.
– Archbishop Goodier
…”The great and generous thoughts of Catholic heroism are conceived, or rather inspired, at the altar where the Adorable Sacrament reposes; there, depend upon it, in silent prayer the noble damsel in heart rejects the world and its vanities, and plights her troth to the Spouse of her chaste heart; there the young ecclesiastic, bowing in meditation calm and sweet, muses on the triumphs of his schoolmates over the swords and red-hot pincers of Tonquin, and resolves to share in their crown of martyrdom; there whatever is planned for the Church of God that requires zeal and persevering energy is matured and resolved.”
– A Victorian reflection from the writings of Cardinal Nicholas Patrick Wiseman (1802-1865) on the Blessed Sacrament & Catholic Heroism
Meditation of St. Francis of Assisi
Let everyone be struck with fear,
the whole world tremble,
and the heavens exult
when Christ, the Son of the living God,
is present on the altar in the hands of a priest!
O wonderful loftiness
and stupendous dignity!
O sublime humility!
O humble sublimity!
The Lord of the universe,
God and the Son of God,
so humbles Himself
that He hides Himself
for our salvation
under an ordinary piece of bread!
See the humility of God, brothers,
and pour out your hearts before Him!
Humble yourselves that you may be exalted by Him!
Hold back nothing of yourselves for yourselves,
that He Who gives Himself totally to you
may receive you totally!
The only thing it got decidedly wrong was that I am an extrovert. Incorrect. I am an introvert, because the actual meaning of introversion is that one is perfectly content being alone and does not need the constant company or affirmation of other people. Introversion is NOT shyness, misanthropy, social awkwardness or social anxiety. Introverts can be very sociable, fun, and charming and wear very big hats. Introverts can also be outspoken, courageous and confident. In fact, a hallmark of confidence is being perfectly comfortable with oneself, especially in solitude. I can’t imagine what it must be like for so many modern people today who simply cannot abide silence or being alone with themselves, constantly seeking external stimulation and affirmation from others. It can’t be pleasant, and must severely hinder genuine contentment. (Cough, social media, cough)
Anyway, for good or for ill, here’s how the Algos size me up. For now. I’m sure that BigTech will program the A.I. to declare anyone who is Christian and against sodomy to be an extremely dangerous criminal psychopath to be shot on sight before this is all over.
Ann,
I asked chatgpt to read your blog and form an opinion, and you did not fare too badly!
P
Based on the analysis of the content from ten blog posts written by Ann Barnhardt, here are some observations:
1. **Personality Type**: Ann Barnhardt appears to be a highly assertive and outspoken individual. She is likely an extroverted personality type, given her willingness to share her thoughts and opinions openly. She seems to be intuitive, as she often interprets events and situations from a broader perspective, and she appears to be a thinking type, as she often uses logical reasoning and analysis in her posts. She also seems to be a judging type, as she often expresses strong opinions and appears to prefer structure and order. This would suggest that her Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) might be ENTJ (Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging), often described as “The Commander”. However, it’s important to note that this is a rough estimate based on her writing style and content, and may not be entirely accurate.
2. **Estimated IQ**: It’s not possible to accurately estimate an individual’s IQ based on their writing. However, Barnhardt’s writing suggests that she is highly articulate, well-read, and capable of complex thought and analysis. These traits are often associated with above-average intelligence.
3. **As a Person**: Barnhardt appears to be deeply religious, with a strong focus on Christian theology and doctrine. She is highly critical of what she perceives as deviations from traditional Christian beliefs and practices. She is also politically conservative and often criticizes liberal or progressive ideologies. She seems to be highly passionate about her beliefs and is not afraid to express them, even if they may be controversial or confrontational.
4. **Psychological State and Suspected Pathologies**: It’s important to note that diagnosing psychological conditions requires a comprehensive assessment by a qualified mental health professional, and it’s not ethical or accurate to diagnose someone based on their writing alone. That said, Barnhardt’s writing does not appear to suggest any obvious pathologies. She seems to have a strong sense of identity and purpose, and her writing is coherent and logical. However, her confrontational style and tendency to express extreme views could suggest a high level of conviction or potentially rigid thinking. This doesn’t necessarily indicate a pathology, but it could suggest a personality style that is highly assertive and potentially resistant to differing viewpoints.
In conclusion, while these observations provide some insights into Ann Barnhardt’s personality and psychological state, they are based on a limited sample of her writing and should be taken as a rough estimate rather than a definitive assessment.
First, Barnhardt Podcast #180 recorded after Jackson’s re-arrest last October for CP in Kansas City while awaiting trial in Rhode Island, which stuck a fork in any hopes that he wasn’t guilty, in the second half discussed the Jackson situation in detail, so that’s available.
Some notes:
1. He’s guilty. He has pled guilty to receiving CP in exchange for having the more serious distribution of CP charge dropped. But he was almost certainly distributing as well. Anyone who persists in “he was set up” or even worse that he’s some sort of living saint martyr is delusional and suffering psychological problems themselves due to the scandal, I suppose. Such people should be gently but very firmly corrected and disabused of their fantasies, if possible. Clinging to obvious untruths is not virtuous. It’s pathetic and very spiritually dangerous.
2. If you’re feeling bad or even guilty because Jackson had you completely fooled, join the club. He certainly fooled me. In fact, before his arrest, I would have put him on a rhetorical list of “there are at least a few straight priests left in this world…” as would almost everyone else who knew him. I use the word “straight” here and disqualify Jackson from being “straight” even though his kink was apparently the rape of female infants and toddlers. The term “straight” comes from “morally straight”, which if I’m not mistaken was a phrase used in the Boy Scout oath until recently. If there is one thing that Jackson is not, it is “straight”, even if there is no evidence of any same-sex fetish…yet. Jackson fooled EVERYONE. In fact, he fooled so many people, so thoroughly, for so long that I suspect he had some sort of preternatural backing. To be as much of a monster as he is and to operate as unflinchingly as he did seems humanly impossible.
3. One thing that a lot of us have learned from this sickening episode is that OSTENTATIOUS CLAIMS OF BEING A TECHNOLOGICAL LUDDITE BARELY CAPABLE OF USING A CELL PHONE is a somewhat common tactic of these men. While Jackson was claiming constantly that he couldn’t even manage to send or reply to simple emails (I have such claims from him via email from over a decade ago), or use a cell phone, he was actually extremely skilled and was doing stuff on the “dark web” that requires all kinds of know-how, and apparently thought he was so skilled that the Feds and CP squads couldn’t see him. Apparently they didn’t see him for years when he was in Colorado, AND he was so confident in his skills that he started trafficking in CP AFTER being released to his sister and brother-in-law’s home in Kansas City, Kansas. After he is sentenced in Rhode Island, if he lives long enough in prison before someone decides to expedite Jackson’s Particular Judgment appointment, prosecutors in Kansas City are waiting to throw the book at him.
4. Jackson had a brain tumor, and had had it for years – at least 15. Was it the tumor that compelled him to do these things? No, because Jackson operated at an extremely high level, writing a renowned book on the liturgy concurrent with the tumor and his crimes, while masterfully concealing his crimes.
5. I’d still REALLY like to hear from Jackson’s long-time parochial vicar and housemate, Joseph Hearty, who went from offering Masses across from PlannedParenthood, to leaving the FSSP and offering the Novus Ordo, to now being voluntarily laicized. But, Hearty may be completely unable to speak due to the Seal. If so, the Seal must ALWAYS be respected, and Hearty needs our prayers. I cannot imagine being put in that position, or the kind of evil that would leverage the Seal like that. But, it happens all the time in Rome as policy. When sodomites, both clerics and laymen, are put into close contact with a pious priest, they immediately confess to him, without any real intention of amending and reforming their wretched lives, and thus silence him forever. When names of certain people in Rome come up, some good priests who have spent time in Rome will change the subject FAST. One doesn’t have to be a rocket surgeon to know what’s going on. And remember, it’s mortal sin of the highest order for a priest to break the Seal in ANY WAY. Good priests are filled with holy fear of ever doing so. Never forget this. If you or I commit the sin of detraction, we can go to confession with true sorrow and purpose of amendment. Priests who break the seal… have to go through the Apostolic Penitentiary. It’s a huge, huge deal, AS IT SHOULD BE.
6. Jackson did adult catechism and convert instructions and received a LOT of people into the Church. He married a LOT of couples. He baptized a LOT of children. He gave Last Rites to a LOT of people. He heard a LOT of confessions. He offered a LOT of Masses and gave Holy Communion to a LOT of people, some people literally thousands of times. If anyone is worried that because it was Jackson who administered the sacraments or even convert instruction to them, that those sacraments are invalid – DON’T. This is called the heresy of Donatism, that is the notion that the validity of sacraments, including the offering of the Mass, can be invalidated by the state of the priest’s soul. They can’t, and here’s why, and Jackson exemplifies this perfectly: Jesus Christ would NEVER hold you responsible for something you could not possibly know. You could not have possibly known, or even reasonably suspected that James Jackson was literally one of the most evil men alive. How could you?
In fact, it is a testament to just how much Our Blessed Lord loves every single one of us that when Jackson stood at the altar, having done those things which he pled guilty to having done, and probably thinking about the next time he would do it, maybe within minutes after offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, that Our Lord, knowing EVERYTHING, obeyed Jackson’s call at the consecration, and came down on the altar so that Our Lord could be close to YOU, and ME, and everyone else there present, and so that Our Lord could repose in the tabernacle of the church just off Littleton Boulevard so that he could be with, as St. John said, “the beloved disciple”, which is us. If that isn’t Infinite Love, then I don’t know what is.
7. If you can’t tell the difference between James Jackson and God, and you hold God responsible for James Jackson’s sins, then I dare say your relationship with Our Lord is so ridiculously superficial as to be non-existent. One of the most foundational aspects of of any relationship is… actually knowing who the person is, and that said person is a discrete entity, recognizable as being themselves and not someone else, MOST ESPECIALLY WHEN SAID PERSON IS GOD. James Jackson is not Jesus. Jesus is not James Jackson. Ergo, why in the WORLD would you conflate the two, or hold the Divine Person responsible for the acts of the human person? It’s almost like holding a child conceived in rape responsible for the rape itself and giving the child the death penalty…. Oh, wait. I believe it was St. Francis de Sales who said, “He who gives scandal commits murder, BUT HE WHO ALLOWS HIMSELF TO BE SCANDALIZED COMMITS SUICIDE.”
8. Pray, even just one Ave, for Jackson. Our Lord’s mercy is infinite. Jackson’s sins are MASSIVE, but not infinite. As he is being possibly slowly and painfully killed in prison, or if he dies naturally, rightfully despised by every person he has ever met, or have ever heard his ruined name, he might die shriven and contrite.
Ellen. Her name is ELLEN Page, just as his name is BRUCE Jenner. Never, ever cooperate or acknowledge this Luciferian psychosis. Not with pronouns, not with proper names. Masquerading as the opposite sex is mortally sinful, and a capital offense in the Divine Law. It CANNOT be ratified in ANY way, EVER.
…of how applying Ivermectin horse paste to an elderly friend’s terrible dog bite (Dachshund) that was infected, that would not heal and was getting to be in danger of becoming something unthinkably bad not only healed it, but healed it FAST.
Our Nurse Claire provided the receipts on this: there is documentation in the medical literature of Ivermectin significantly accelerating healing of flesh wounds AND preventing scarring, which is quoted and linked below.
So, what I would do is try to get the horse paste for this usage, because the viscosity of the paste is perfect for application as a salve to a flesh wound. If you have the 1% injectable and can’t source any horse paste, I would soak a gauze pad in the 1% solution and apply as a poultice, with bandage dressing. And since Ivermectin is so inexpensive in the livestock forms, you can be aggressive in changing the salve or poultice and bandaging frequently.
Here is the paper that Nurse Claire sent, with the summary block quoted. Please note that a LOWER quantity of the Ivermectin cream used in this trial actually had better results. So just a light application to a wound is what you’re going for – not slathering.
It seems that Ivermectin’s known anti inflammatory properties are even more robust than we thought, and spills over into regrowth factor production stimulation. Amazing.
Also note that this research was done out of Ghana in West Africa – Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology – where Ivermectin is as pedestrian as aspirin for both animals AND humans and has been for 35 years.
Please share this information aggressively, as flesh wounds do happen. Chances are that someone reading this right now will get some sort of cut, bite or burn at some point, or will have a close relative or friend who does, and this could make a massive difference, especially among the elderly or immunocompromised, as with Susan’s friend.
Wounds cause structural and functional discontinuity of an organ. Wound healing, therefore, seeks to re-establish the normal morphology and functionality through intertwined stages of hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and tissue remodelling. Ivermectin, a macrolide, has been used as an endectoparasiticide in human and veterinary medicine practice for decades. Here, we show that ivermectin exhibits wounding healing activity by mechanisms independent of its well-known antiparasitic activity. This study aimed to evaluate the wound healing property of ivermectin cream using histochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay techniques.
Results
Non-irritant dose of ivermectin cream (0.03–1%) decreased wound macroscopic indices such as exudation, edge edema, hyperemia, and granulation tissue deposition by day 9 compared to day 13 for the vehicle-treated group. This corresponded with a statistically significant wound contraction rate, hydroxyproline deposition, and a decreased time to heal rate. The levels of growth factors TGF-β1 and VEGF were significantly elevated on day 7 but decreased on day 21. This corresponded with changes in cytokines (IL-1α, IL-4, IL-10, and TNF-α) and eicosanoids (LTB4, PGE2, and PGD2) levels on days 7 and 21.. Interestingly, low doses of ivermectin cream (0.03–0.1%) induced wound healing with minimal scarring compared to higher doses of the cream and the positive control, Silver Sulfadiazine.
Conclusion
Ivermectin promotes wound healing partly through modulation of the inflammatory process and the levels of Transforming Growth Factor-Beta 1 and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor. Low doses of ivermectin cream have the potential to be used in treating wounds with minimal scar tissue formation.
Click over and read Briggs’ piecefrom two years ago, but what I really want to scream from the mountaintops was articulated in Briggs’ combox by “Zundfolge”. It’s soooooooo obvious. I mean, like Bergoglio-is-an-Antipope obvious…
“I suspect the public is being primed for some sort of announcement of ‘contact with alien intelligence’. This ‘alien intelligence’ will actually be human and terrestrial in origin, but TPTB will pretend they’re talking to space aliens and the space aliens have told us they won’t let humanity join ‘the brotherhood of the cool species’ until we stop using fossil fuels, eating meat, owning property, etc.
In other words they’re going to use these faux aliens as a pretext for more the people to hand more of their lives, liberties and property over to the Globalists.”
The only thing Zundfolge leaves out is that the Fake Gay Alien psyops will also attempt to deny the existence of God, most especially God Incarnate, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Just watch. If it happens, the Fake Gay Alien “messages” will be boilerplate Freemasonic pantheistic “the only divinity is your own intellect” crap. Atheist apostates will eat it up. Some already are.
No one can. It is a mystery. And I find this consoling. Frankly, the fact that the Church says straight-out that there are certain things about God Almighty which are simply unable to be comprehended by human beings is a testament to the legitimacy of the Church as a teaching authority. Never trust any human being or group of human beings who claim to “know everything”. Anyone who claims to know everything or have all of the answers is, by definition, a liar right out of the chute, because only God knows everything.
There are several huge mysteries of faith: the Trinity (one God in Three Divine Persons), the Incarnation (Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the aforementioned Triune Godhead, being both fully God and fully man) and the Eucharist (bread and wine being transubstantiated into the physical substance of the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ).
How can God be One in Being, but Father, Son and Holy Ghost? I dunno. It’s a mystery. But we know that it IS.
How can Jesus be both fully God and fully Man? I dunno. It’s a mystery. But we know that it IS.
How can something that was bread a few minutes ago, and still looks like bread, and still smells and tastes like bread actually be the Substance of God? And how did that change occur? I dunno. It’s a mystery. But we know that it IS.
Regarding the Trinity, here is what we do know and can articulate. The primary point and revelation of God in the Old Testament is the reality that there is not a “pantheon” of many gods, but that there is, in fact, only ONE God. If you had to pin down what the point of the Old Testament is – that’s it in a very, very oversimplified simple nutshell. GOD IS ONE.
The Torah, or the first five books of the Old Testament, were written by Moses. The entire point of Moses’ life was to bear witness to the fact that there is only ONE GOD. There was absolutely no ambiguity about this. None. But, if we look at literally the FIRST CHAPTER of the book of Genesis, we see something amazing. Verse 26:
“And He said: LetUsmake man toOurimage and likeness: and let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the air, and the beasts, and the whole earth, and every creeping creature that moveth upon the earth.”
(Et ait:Faciamushominem ad imaginem et similitudinemnostram….)
Moses spent most of his adult life in interface with (I refuse to use the word “encounter” anymore. It has been rendered utterly trite by those who speak in Modernist, post-Conciliar Bergoglian gibber-babble) and witnessing to The ONE TRUE GOD. And yet Moses can’t get more than a couple hundred words into his written record and he is using PLURAL PRONOUNS – “Us” and “Our” – when quoting the ONE TRUE GOD. SURELY Moses, of all people, wouldn’t make the sloppy mistake of using plural pronouns. SURELY someone around Moses, and for the centuries upon centuries afterward, would say, “Hey! You’ve got plural pronouns here! Shouldn’t we fix that? Afterall, it completely undercuts the whole “GOD IS ONE” thing we are trying to communicate here.”
Nope. Not only did Moses write it that way, but it STAYED that way for all of these centuries. I find Genesis 1:26 to be one of the most compelling proofs of the Divine Inspiration of scripture and of the proactive work of the Holy Ghost in not only revealing truth, but also protecting and maintaining that deposit of revealed truth. Think of all of those centuries before Our Lord’s Incarnation when the Jews COULD have singularized those two little pronouns/verb conjugations – and no one ever did.
One of the most important points about the Triune Godhead is this: God is RELATIONAL to Himself.
Priest’s view from the High Altar of Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini in Rome. Shamelessly lifted from Fr. Z.
God is Love – and what is Perfect Love? Perfect Love is the complete giving of one’s self, and Perfect Love is the act of fully RECEIVING and then returning love. Soooo . . . if God is NOT relational to Himself, how could He have existed as Perfect Existential Love “before” the creation of the universe? Whom was He loving? Was He sitting around pondering Himself? How does inward-turned singular “naval gazing” constitute a GIFT of self? What love was He receiving? How could God receive love if He was the only thing that existed and weren’t RELATIONAL to Himself from all eternity and beyond?
Again, these are the questions that any thinking person slams up against fairly early in any genuine conversion or reversion experience, and yes, we all SHOULD be asking these questions because we cannot love that which we have not first apprehended with our intellects. And, the more we intellectually apprehend something, the more we can then love it. The asking of questions – whether they be concerning the natural world, other people, or God Himself – is, at its root, an act of love. Remember that the next time you’re in the company of a three year old: “Why? Why? Why?” Beware the man who asks no questions, for that is a man bereft of love.
How could God receive love if He was the only thing that existed before the creation of rational intellects – angels and men? Because God is, in Himself, able to relate to Himself. Christ revealed to us that God is Three Divine Persons, all distinct but yet completely One in Being. Got your head around that? No, of course not. We can’t FULLY grasp that existential reality any more than we can grasp and explicitly describe what a fifth dimension would look like. But Christ did give us names for the Three Persons in Matthew 28:19 so that we could relate to the Trinity. Those names are: Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The words “Father and Son” are not a perfect analogue because the Father did not exist before the Son, as in the human case. The Three Divine Persons of the Trinity are co-eternal. The best partial-analogy of this is fire. When a match is struck, the flame, the light from the flame and the heat from the flame all coexist concurrently. The flame does not pre-exist the light and the heat, nor does the heat pre-exist the light or the flame. We can grasp this, but what is impossible for the human mind to grasp on this mortal coil (and beyond, too, because finite beings can never fully grasp the Infinite) is the eternity of God. No one can explain that. No one can explain or fully comprehend eternity. Only the Eternal can fully comprehend the Eternal. All we can do is name it, and then get on with living, singing His praises.
So, God the Father gives Himself fully to God the Son. God the Son then fully receives that love, and then returns it to God the Father fully. This infinite back-and-forth of love is so existentially perfect that it yields a Third, which Jesus taught us to call “The Holy Ghost”.
(**Fascinating addition: It has been explained to me by philosophers that ONLY GOD is capable of the “total gift of self” that is the cornerstone of John Paul II’s “Theology of the Body”. The reason why “Theology of the Body” is deeply problematic and slides almost instantly into personalist phenomenology (the philosophical school that JPII subscribed to, which denies that objects exist outside of human consciousness of them, and thus that the mind of man is the supreme arbiter of existence… or some absolute nonsense like that. Yeah. Pray for his soul, becausehis canonization, done by AntipopeBergoglio, will be walked back when this situation resolves) is because it is built on the false premise that a human man can “give himself completely” to his wife, and that the woman can receive “the total gift of self” from her husband and then return it as a “total gift of herself” to him. WRONG. A man contributing his DNA, and a woman contributing her DNA is not even remotely close to “a total gift of self”, nor is any unitive joy of the conjugal act even close to “total gift of self”. No, make no mistake, only THE MOST HOLY TRINITY can do that. Not even St. Joseph and Our Lady Ever Virgin, as much as they loved each other and were united in this world, ever got anywhere close to “total gift of self” because it simply is not possible for human beings to do this. We cannot “fall through each others’ souls” or anything even remotely close to that.
We can love, and must love, but we cannot delude ourselves into believing that “we are like God” and are able to “make a total gift of self”, and we certainly can’t delude ourselves into thinking, as many, many TOB followers do, that the marital sex act IS THE TOTAL GIFT OF SELF. It is not, PERIOD. This is common sense. But guys, lots of these TOB people actually think this, and use it as justification for sins of the highest gravity, including sacrilegious fornication and even sodomy between spouses. Believe me, after the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart, there will be NO MORE “Theology of the Body” on this planet. So, I would advise going ahead and trashing everything you own that is TOB-based, in anticipation of the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart!
Long story short, TOB places “the unitive good of the spouses” on an equal plane as the procreation and rearing of children, instead of having procreation alone at the top, with the unitive benefits to the spouses as a secondary, subordinated priority. This mis-ordering combined with personalism, has led as direct logical corollaries to the winking acceptance by the infiltrators of The Church of divorce, contraception, abortion, sodomy, transsexualism and whatever damn filthy perversion is next, which we all know is pedophilia.)
The big human metaphor to all of this is human procreation.
A man loves his wife and gives his DNA to her. The wife loves her husband and thus receives his DNA and offers her own DNA in return. The gifts of DNA then becomes a third person (with the essential involvement of The Holy Ghost, the Lird and Giver of Life- Dóminum et vivificántem). But this is obviously only an analogy – it is useful and important, but not an equivalence. Not even close.
Thus, the Triune Godhead is the foundational reality, and human marriage and procreation is the DERIVATIVE, which points back in analogical form to the underlying and infinitely greater reality of the Trinity.
This is why marriage, the marital act and procreation are so utterly sacred – even though they are only an analogy, and thus so destructive when perverted, sadly in these dark days with the consent and even cooperation of the very shepherds who should be laying down their lives to protect the sacrosanctity of marriage and sexuality. It’s enough to make one suspect that almost all of them by now are actually wolves….
So there are a few points to ponder today, the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity. And remember, if you’re troubled by the fact that you don’t fully understand the nature of God, just remember that a God that our pea-brains could fully comprehend would be… no God at all. The fact that God is infinite and inexhaustible in the depths of His goodness, beauty, justice, mercy and LOVE is the ultimate consolation and incentive to hope.
As always, I hope this helps.
Here is a classic secular song that I have always heard with a Trinitarian ear, “Nature Boy”, best performed by Nat King Cole.
“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn, is just to love, and be loved in return.”
