Rec | THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME

🤕

Me in another life, I felt a deep connection to Liesl. Her feelings towards prayer and presumably her very faith in God felt very real and raw to me. I myself have struggled with not "hearing God," my deafness both literal and spiritual... all this to say, I hope I get a happy ending - however the cards are played.

weird suggestion but just trust me on this

not religious, but tbh reading the Bible or any religious scripture blows me away with how beautiful and significant everything manages to sound. my family is catholic, and we had to go to prayer for a family member's death today. did I do any of the prayers? no.. do all of them probably think I'm a weird queer emo who is going to hell? yes but some of the verses were unironically so TOUGH. made me feel like i should be sitting by a stained glass windows, writing an epic of love and tribulation with a big feather quill.

Delight as a prayer, as gratitude.

Five years ago, Ross' voice changed me on a cellular level. Currently on chapter 33.

Micro-Dosing Catholicism ?

With all the quick motions and shocking happenings of the world, I've been taking refuge in the faith I was raised with. Not with a reactionary frame of mind, but searching for the empathetic section of the world I knew when I was younger. Before, I learned about the expansive evils of the world and the contradictory nature of mainstream Christianity and, in extension, Catholicism. I've left the church, but I still visit from time to time, mentally. The teachings of love and justice have given me solace in these trying times. As some rights are being stripped and opportunities limited, my first reaction has been to pray for the people affected. Sympathy is hardwired in my bones, but it's new that I physically get on my knees to recite and conjure a prayer. I've been told I'm having a "come to God" moment, but honestly, I feel I'm falling in love with an idealistic version of Catholicism. Something I can defer to when the logical and the skeptical sections of my mind are overworked with anguish. I feel it couldn't only be me feeling these emotions. Anyone else?
