Lord, Heal the memories that still surface when my heart is quiet and my guard is down. You know the moments my thoughts return to, the conversations that linger, the experiences that shaped me in ways I did not choose, the losses that still ache beneath the surface. Some memories whisper, others arrive with weight, stirring feelings I thought time had settled. When they rise, meet me there. Cover those moments with Your nearness and let Your peace steady me. God, You see the parts of my story I wish I could leave behind. You see how certain scenes replay, bringing familiar sorrow, doubt, and heaviness. I invite You into those memories. Soften them with Your grace and remind me that I am no longer living there. I am held by You now. When yesterday tries to define today, gently realign my heart. When fear resurfaces, anchor me in truth. When shame speaks, answer it with Your love. Heal the memories that taught me to brace for pain, to withhold trust, to expect loss instead of goodness. …More
One Protestant woman went viral on social media after she published her reasoning for praying the Holy Rosary. Instagram influencer Sarah Giles shared her testimony about why she began praying the rosary as a Protestant. Giles is now researching more into the Catholic Church and her teachings. Giles begins by debunking the myth that praying the Rosary is “demonic, satanic, or a tool used for idolatry.” “None of those are true, and quite frankly, we sound a little bit uneducated when we say those things,” Giles says. “I know this because that’s how I sounded when I first started learning about the rosary.” Giles invites her viewers to open their “hearts and minds” to the truth, and to “do your research.” The influencer then explains why the rosary is “a very powerful tool” due to its biblical roots and meditations. “This tool is used to meditate on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. It’s used to meditate on specific mysteries — whether the Sorrowful Mysteries or the …

A Virginia Commonwealth University nurse recently instructed her TikTok followers to contaminate ICE agents’ food or render them lethally paralyzed. She did this through a series of social media posts, calmly and with a little smirk on her face. If people can no longer trust nurses or food service personnel, the economy will eventually crash and the country will come apart. A Miami nurse recently allegedly put up a Facebook post stating: “I will not perform anesthesia for any surgeries or procedures for [Make America Great Again]. It is my right, it is my ethical oath, and I stand behind my education. I own all of my businesses and I can refuse anyone!” I stand behind my “education?” Terrifying. If “First, do no harm” is replaced by “First, find out if they disagree with you politically,” we are obviously done as a society. And they believe MAGA folks are mean? Twenty-one-year-old Grace Carol Brown faces arson and burglary charges in New Braunfels, Texas, after she allegedly tried to …
