remember when you were fifteen and you were convinced you were evil and irredeemable and completely insane but it turns out you were just fifteen

St. Augustine wrote this

It’s time for artists to stop personifying Gluttony as a fat person and start personifying them as a billionaire capitalist who surrounds themselves with luxury at the expense of the poor.

Compromise- Every sin is a billionaire! Gluttony is the hedonist who spends billions on fancy foods and luxurious beds while people starve on the streets around them. Greed is the tax-evader who stores all their wealth in a maze of offshore accounts and shell companies, who’d prefer to never be able to use it then to risk someone else taking a penny. Lust is the predator who thinks only in terms of power, and is surrounded only by people they can bribe or bully. Wrath is the conservative who insists the poor and needy are “stealing” from them, who looks at every soup kitchen and benefit payment as a personal insult against them. Envy is the ladder-climber only cares about their own success, stabbing anyone that could their friend in the back for a fancier office and another 0 on their salary. Sloth is the trust-fund kid, who has lived their whole life on their parents money and has never so much as cleaned a table without a servant stepping in. Pride is the elitist who insists they worked hard for everything they own, they deserve everything, they’re only richer then the rest of us because they’re better then everyone else. The best part is you can cut down on drawing time because they’re usually all the same person!

This is probably the most biblically accurate way to draw the seven deadly sins

tearing bread apart and handing it to someone else is so… spiritual and intimate

Crazy to me that God has used Tumblr to surround me with a community of  faithful Christians who challenge me to grow in my relationship with Him and become more secure in my beliefs. At school and the few other places I spend a lot of time, I have barely anyone in my circle who genuinely loves and wants to actively pursue God around me. I’m so thankful that (as weird and unlikely a place as it may be) God has used Tumblr to help me grow more confident in my faith and become rooted in a community of other steadfast believers who also want to grow!

It amazes me that Tumblr has produced people that I want to be like - Catholics and Christians who have warm hearts and sincere belief, who make me want to be a better person for them and for God.

It amazes me that I wouldn’t have seriously thought about becoming catholic without tumblr

We found God in a hopeless place.

its crazy that I have met some friends that I am super closed to and who I love and who love Jesus through tumblr

Not the equality we asked for but it’s the one we got I guess

Jesus felt weak & tired, He got frustrated, He wept aloud, He grieved, He sweat blood from great stress & anxiety, He felt physical pain. This is who you’re praying to. The One who knows.
