Praise the Lord, God Almighty, of the One, Holy, and Apostolic, Church of Christ,

I want a husband who is not only my best friend, but my soul-mate & provider. Who I know always has things under control. Who makes me feel safe, like he'll never stop loving me. Like I can always depend on him. Like he'll never hurt me & I'll never live in fear again.

I want children. Children that I can care for, love, & play with all day. Children that will always know that mommy & daddy always have their best interests at heart. Who know mommy & daddy love each other just as much as they love them, so they can grow up with a healthy view of what a relationship should be. Children that I can tuck in at night after reading a story to, after having given a nice warm bath & can chase around the house or out in the yard during the day.

I want a nice, big kitchen that I can cook & bake in. A kitchen that always has food waiting to be eaten that I made for those I love. They'll never have to worry about going hungry. None of us will.

I want pets that we can play with & brush & give treats & new toys to. Pets that will settle down with us at night in front of a fire in chilly evenings & will be a part of our family.

I want a garden. One where I grow food to use for recipes. One where my children are free to learn how to use their hands to dig into the soil to plant their favorite fruits or vegetables.

You look on the news, Twitter and YouTube, you see the bad people doing the bad things, depravity and violence. Your prepare for them. You see the defiled Mary statues, the toppled saints, the burning cathedrals and churches. You are angry.

It couldn't be more simple though. Imitation of Christ. This is the aspiration of the Christian.

"Why should I pray for these people I want them to suffer and burn." I recently confessed to my priest that I fantasize about getting to heaven and gloating over the modernists who are cast into the furnace.

But what did Christ do? He paid the debt. He suffered and died for the sins of man. At Gesthemane he saw every sin ever committed and to be committed. And he allowed Himself to be crucified for them. He forgave them.

This is, to me, the absolute hardest thing about real Christianity. Supplication for the sins of others. Penance for the sins of man. But this is what our Lord requires of us and Our Lady of Fatima was sent to confirm. It's more than reciting the Rosary every day. It's penance for sins. Very hard.

As Lucia was carried away from the final apparition at the Miracle of the Sun, she cried out "PENANCE PENANCE PENANCE" in an ecstatic state.

This is the message our Blessed Mother is sent to deliver. Penance. It's our only hope in this last age.

We are privileged to live in this time because the call to sainthood lies everywhere all the time.

I am going back to school for my theology degree in the fall and I already could barely afford school, but now with corona, I really dont think ill be able to afford it. I already put my deposit in and signed up for classes so ill have to go for at least the first semester, but if I can get even one years worth covered, I'll be thankful and probably be able to finish my degree.
