Do you know of any passages that talk or even just touch upon the grief or tragedy of the Virgin Mary/Mother Mary?

As far as I can remember, there isn't a verse that outright describes what Mary was feeling for most of it, including the crucifixion. It says that she was there, which honestly is a pretty charged sentence in itself.

There is however this verse!

“This child is destined to cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a sword will pierce your own soul too.” (Luke 2:34–35)

the good news translation translates it as "And sorrow, like a sharp sword, will break your own heart."

This is what Simeon tells Mary about baby Jesus. She knew sorrow intimately, she carried it in her womb

you call it "shipping real people" I call it the simple conclusion that every human being is completely and irrevocably in love with my favorite driver because he's just that cool and pretty. and everyone wants him, that's it.

logging back in here specifically to say i was to unable to sleep until this T.H. White The Goshawk paragraph stopped confusing me.

Is this a joke? Is a frenchman a type of english animal? Did he kill an actual french man on an out of season holiday during wwi while the uk was allied with france and feed him to his deeply irritable goshawk? Do frenchmen have seasons?

anyway after a long while of google refusing to grant me insight i remembered about wiktionary and that's when i finally found out that's what british people call this very normal bird not allied with anyone and he didn't shoot and eat any french citizens with his bird after all (as far as we know)

thank you wiktionary.

The route of the Flight of the Earls, when the old Gaelic nobility left Ireland after being stripped of their lands by England, marking the end of traditional Gaelic society.

This exodus actually resulted in some notable people down the line. Since the people who fled were of noble birth, they were often afforded high status in their new countries, and many rose to prominence

Their legacy is strongest in Spain, where the O'Donnell clan was eventually granted hereditary peerage as Dukes of Tetúan, which they maintain to this day. The current Duke of Tetúan is Hugo O'Donnell. Also in Spain, the O'Neill clan became a military family and were granted the title of Marques Del Norte, which they also still maintain. The current Marques being Carlos O'Neill. So both of these families still have noble status, just not in Ireland.

Meanwhile in France, the O'Brien clan became a prominent military family in the country and eventually produced a president of France, Patrice de MacMahon, who was a direct descendant of Brian Boru, a High King of Ireland.

Then over in Austria, another branch of the O'Donnell clan would achieve noble status and eventually produce Count Maximilian Karl Lamoral O'Donnell, who famously saved Emperor Franz Joseph I from an assassination attempt in 1853.

With the help of Bite and the element of surprise, with Crane jumping down from the rafters, Their able to get the jump on the guards quickly and quietly.

Crane gestures to Bite to retreat to where the rest of the squad was. Crane was going to cause a distraction, and needed no other vode to get involved.

“Trust me.” Is all Crane signalled, ‘force I should have thought of something better,’ before opening the door. 

“Hey! Sorry I was looking for the fresher, could you point me in it’s detection?”

Cranes then books it down the opposite side of the hallway, being chased by 3 of the Rattataki that were in the room, hopefully leaving Tumbler unguarded or at least less guarded.

Force if this doesn’t kill him, Forge sure as hells will.

(go get him!! @corrie-bite @squad380 also @corrie-guard-tumbler 👀)
