Real Italian pizza sounds good. Cui bono?

Or should we say Carpe Diem?

I like carpe diem.

And for today it's this:

Tomorrow, I will search for my sock. I have NO idea where it went! Jiminy Crickets, and it's always that same sock!

Didn't you know that socks go to the sock twilight zone?
I've known this for many years.
Don't even look for them anymore...but sometimes
they return!

I have fish on Friday like any good catholic.
Happy first day of summer.
186 shopping days til Christmas.

You're thinking of Christmas already?
My brother Frank says it's a pagan holiday.
He stopped celebrating it.
I love Christmas.
Jesus' faux birthday....to celebrate Him.
Who cares if the date is right or not?

Ah...a catholic man, long gone now, called this the dark night of the soul. A few of you who who have said in here that God doesn't speak to you as often as He used to might like the book and get some insight into what you are experiencing. His name is St John of the Cross and the book is actually titled Dark Night of the Soul.

I see these times where He seems to have gone silent as the true fast in spirit. Not like a fast in the temporal, but a fast that God puts you on, where He removes your bread and water for a time.

St John explains them as times when God is working in you much more than before but you can't see any of it and it just appears to you as a darkness. He says you are actually, during these times, being assailed by even greater light than you previously were but that it is as if when your physical eyes take in bright sun, it temporarily blinds you, even though it seems that greater light would just make it even easier to see, it has the opposite effect because your eyes are too weak to take in that much light.

Different men have explained it different ways and one man's explanation may confuse you whereas it may click for you with a different man's explanation, but they just speak of the same thing in spirit with different examples. Hard to put a spiritual experience to words.

But calm trust at all times is what will advance a man quicker in one of these fasts in spirit, or dark nights. I panicked the first few times.

I like St. John of the Cross.
We're going to study him soon with a monk close to my home.
There's about 15 of us and he does very interesting studies.
Catholic....but what's true is true...I have no problem.
I've learned that we don't go by feelings but by what we know to be true.
God is always here, even when we don't feel like He is.
Mother Theresa went through the same experience and spoke about it.

Maybe we need the extra attention at the beginning?
Maybe we need a new hearing aid like @Rollo Tamasi said?

Just trust God.

I think a nice salmon beats a steak any day.
Does that make me a catholic?

No, it doesn't make you a catholic. But it does make you very wrong...

 

[GodsGrace]

No, it doesn't make you a catholic. But it does make you very wrong...

I see.
So you're a steak person, huh?
It's good. Less mercury.

Yeah, I think so. We need extra attention and caresses at the beginning. I think you're right.

Less mercury, more steroids, yeah buddy!

 

[GodsGrace]

Less mercury, more steroids, yeah buddy!

St John of the Cross was a gang leader in Bedford Styvesant back in the 60's

 

[Rollo Tamasi]

No, it doesn't make you a catholic. But it does make you very wrong...

Where in the Bible does ir say, "Thou shalt not eat fish on Friday"?

 

[Rollo Tamasi]

Less mercury, more steroids, yeah buddy!

So in your search for tomorrow, you are seeking more steroids.

 

[stunnedbygrace]

It must be spiritually discerned...

Not that one silly!

Oh. I got mugged in BedSty.
Yeah. I trusted humanity back then.

Never met a human in Bedford Styvesant that lived there
Only zombies and the like.

Yeah well....these were teenage types.
They were practicing...
I could tell they were nervous.
Two of them.
My favorite furniture store was there...
needless to say I found a different one.
