I'm expecting to weep my way through an episode of #CallTheMidwife full of goodbyes, especially to Monica Joan. And as it happens, it's exactly 10 years since I wrote about weeping my way through the death of toughie Sr Evangelina

#NunsOfBlueSky

Sadly, Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands... But yes, if more women were in power, and not feeling the need to prove their toughness before men, our world would be more peaceful.

Two women hugging. The text reads: “What god can compare with you: taking fault away, pardoning crime, not cherishing anger for ever but delighting in showing mercy?”

#Transfiguration #Gospel #TodaysHeaven #SimplyLent #Choice4God #NunsOfBlueSky

This Lent, I'm Being Honest About My Spiritual Life Throughout Lent, I noticed something unsettling: giving up things didn't change me because I hadn't told the truth about my spiritual life.

Give up sweets. Give up scrolling. Stay mildly miserable. Is that a transformation? Today’s reflection talks about what real change can look like during #Lent.

"Faced with the possibility of a tragedy of immense proportions, I make a heartfelt appeal to all the parties involved to assume the moral responsibility of halting the spiral of violence before it becomes an unbridgeable chasm (3-1-26)." #PopeLeoXIV #IranWar #PrayForPeace

With the new conflict breaking out in the Middle East, Pope Leo's prayer intention for this month seems especially urgent...

'Let us pray that... world leaders choose the path of dialogue and diplomacy instead of violence.'

Quite right, too! And I hope you would also deploy an Italian accent when ordering an Americano coffee, or pizza Quattro Stagioni/ Margherita etc!

Well, BlueSky is how Twitter was 10 years ago: more basic than now, but also friendlier and minus grok and those algorithms pushing certain content. It will develop over time, but hopefully remain friendly, as *social* media should be!

May I ask why? Normally the traffic has been in the opposite direction, with people leaving X for here, so I'm wondering what and why. (I'm there as well as here, so I know what you're going to!)
