I’m not sure, actually. I guess it depends on which one I’m at. I have an Episcopalian church that is my “home base”, a non-denominational church that my uncle invites me to frequently when I can’t attend my usual church, and last night I was at a Catholic Church, as I couldn’t make it to either of the others.
The Catholic Church was a very beautiful place, although I am not usually comfortable in big churches. But my favorite part of that place was not any feature of the building itself, but the warmth and sincerity of the priest. It is so nice to see that he subverts the stereotype of Catholic priests being cold and reserved.
Because I was thinking that maybe you could organize some kind of peaceful corner in your room, like a praying corner or something like that, a bit of space where you may feel at ease but protected because it is going to be blessed and special, so I thought that if there was something you liked about churches in general you could try and replicate it there…. is it possible?
This is one of the most inspired, well thought out, heartfelt things I have had the pleasure of reading in quite a while. Mind boggling isn’t it how six simple words can build me up or tear me down.
Repent and return to the gospel.
So simple and exactly what you needed to hear.
Come sit her and I’ll listen
I love you, stay with me
You look lonely, come with me
do you want the last onionring?
All powerful. No need for a lot of words in life sometimes.
That last one says I care more than anything I can think of.
This are the aches of the burnt Palm branches that are part one other religious ceremony. And the aches symbolize two things basically 1. That the lent time is starting (40 days of sobriety and reflexion about life and death before the holly week) and 2. That we are mortals and so we must be humble, and embrace religious thinkings. It’s a reminder that the times of celebration must have a stop (during december and January most carnivals take place) and that death is also part of life. It is also a way to show respect and to say thank you for what is going to happen during the holly week (gold week or easter)….
I think that’s pretty much it
We would fold our palm from Palm Sunday into crosses and hang them on our wall until ash Wednesday when we’d take them to the church to burn for ashes. I always like that the church changes colors to purple during lent. Holy week everything gets draped in black.

Hey wiskered-fish, it is nice to have you online ^_^
Thank you for sharing
Hey, Moneypenny. Thanks. 🙂
I hope you’re doing well today.
It has been a good day indeed. Sp is in a nice mood today
“Wrapping me in the tendrils of an inky, poison tree.”
At first when I read this, I pictured the tendrils as tree roots, but then I wondered if you meant bare branches instead.
Either way, it would make an amazing painting.
Done in the style of Salvador Dali or Hieronymus Bosch, it could be a beautiful surrealist masterpiece.
Anyway, it’s good to have you here, and I’m glad it was a good day.
What part of church do you like must? I mean, is there any special detail that you may mention? A window, a corner? idk
The best part of attending church is when the preacher says “Amen”.
That means you can leave. The commercial has ended.
Services don’t end in “Amen.” Though it doesn’t surprise me that you know very little. 😉

Hey, AtBushes.

I would be the guy pulling your hair from behind, plus I used to giggle and fart in church, back when I was thirty
Cool pic hahaha

Wow.
Through the sarcasm of the last line I found something….
We all need the little things…..
No matter how bad our situation is….the little things are what makes us hang on
Even if it is the last Sonic onion ring.
Why do they give ashes, and what kind of ashes are they? I am not familiar with this, excuse me for my curiosity.
