Psalm 115:1-3 (NASB1995) - Not to us, O LORD, not to us, But to Your name give glory Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth. Why should the nations say, “Where, now, is their God?” But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases.

Even truly

Jesus will come

The saints are many

He'll be taking us home

And we finally get

To sing hallelujah

Live and direct

To God our maker

Oh the joy to behold the wonder

A place prepared by Jesus the firstborn

today’s verse ✨

“Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.”

‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

[apenitentialprayer]

We saw that the sacred meal is not limited in meaning and scope to this context of space and time alone; rather, it is situated within a properly eschatological framework. The Mass signals this transcendent dimension in a number of ways. In the Confiteor, the liturgy invokes another world: "I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God," and the great Gloria prayer calls to mind the song of the angels early on Christmas morning: "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors" (Luke 2:14). From the beginning of the rite, therefore, we are situated in a properly heavenly context that stretches beyond that of the community gathered immediately around us. We are praying to and with the heavenly court, composed of glorified human saints and spiritual creatures at a qualitatively higher pitch of existence. Furthermore, between the preface and the commencement of the Eucharistic Prayer proper, we find this distinctive prayer: "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of your glory, hosanna in the highest." The triple holy mimics precisely the the cry of the angels in a scene from the sixth chapter of the book of the prophet Isaiah. As the prophet saw a vision of God, he heard attendants at the heavenly throne invoking the Creator of the universe with this triple chant. The Christian tradition has, naturally enough, taken these three angelic "holies" to designate the three persons of the Blessed Trinity. The point is that as the worshiping community enters into the most sacred part of the Mass, it becomes conscious, once again, of the supernatural community that worships in tandem with it. In his treatment of the Eucharist in the Summa theologiae, Thomas Aquinas said that the sacrament has three names, each one corresponding to one of the dimensions of time. [... For the last name,] as we look into the future, we call it Eucharistia (Eucharist), since it anticipates the great thanksgiving that will take place in heaven when we are in the company of the holy ones, at the eschatological banquet. It is this final feature that the liturgy emphasizes when it invokes so consistently the angels and saints.

The Heavens Declare the Glory of God

1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows the work of his hands. 2 One day provides a word for the next day, and one night declares wisdom unto the next night. 3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tabernacle for the sun, 5 which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber and rejoices as a strong man to run a race. 6 His going forth is from the end of the heavens, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. 7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever; the rights of the LORD are true, they are all just. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is thy slave warned, and in keeping them there is great reward. 12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. 13 Keep back thy slave also from pride and arrogance; let them not have dominion over me; then I shall be perfect, and I shall be innocent of the great rebellion. 14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. — Psalm 19 | Hebrew Names Version (HNV) The Hebrew Names Version Bible is in the public domain Cross References: Genesis 1:6-7; Deuteronomy 4:6; Judges 5:31; Nehemiah 9:13; Psalm 12:6; Psalm 18:2; Psalm 33:4; Psalm 51:1-2; Psalm 74:16; Psalm 90:8; Psalm 104:19; Psalm 111:8; Psalm 113:3; Psalm 119:72; Psalm 119:103; Psalm 119:133; Psalm 139:12; Proverbs 23:18; Proverbs 29:18; Isaiah 47:4; Hosea 8:5; Joel 2:16; Romans 1:19-20; Romans 10:18; Revelation 19:2

' you don't know what you do to me. ' - ironely <3

this was a sunday meme / @londonfallen

he's exhausted, and he'd be lying if he tried to claim otherwise - his mind's caught halfway 'tween the reality of the dim, candlelit bedroom and the deeper recesses of his foggy consciousness. he thinks it knows that, too! it's being devious, no matter how unawares it tries to come off, though he doesn't call it out on it, not even when it brushes his hair from the back of his neck so its tongue and teeth can take turns teasing the nape of it. the silence around them is so thick, even the streets of london themselves tucked in for the night outside of once upon's windowless lost ... and how erotic that makes it, however humiliating, each time its teeth press just a little too hard, and he just barely bites back his own hushed whimpers.

its arm 'round his waist pulls him back closer, his back pressing against its chest. his body is warmer than its own even through the thin fabric of the half undone blouse he'd dramatically fallen into bed with. its blush has long faded. it makes him shiver, vision blurred in the near-dark when his eyes open to stare at the flickering flame not far from them. his thighs, mostly mercifully bare, try to press together, but he swears it was waiting for the moment he'd turn to modesty! irons' leg puts an end to that, pressing between his thighs from behind. he winces with that, 'long with its fangs piercing just a bit of skin. "hh..." it takes quite an embarrassing amount of effort, not to moan.

its hand slips 'neath his blouse, shortly after.

"what was that about letting me sleep?" he murmurs back, face red and ears flat. his breath falls labored, the further its fingers travel, past his abdomen, and ribs. he should be humiliated, by the implications of its salacious confession. maybe he is! but it also flusters him, greatly, as he's pulled even tighter into its arms : is it turned on just because of his voice? does he really sound that pathetic? "câtâlin..." his body is heavy, craving sleep more than anything else : but that makes his reactions stronger, too, every single gasp or moan or shudder. he keeps one hand 'neath the pillow so he can dig his claws into the fabric, but the other untangles, reaching rather easily behind him to brush his his own fingers beneath its little clothing, past its hips. it's so close, it's hardly difficult. and he's not shocked at all, to feel it so hard, either! he could already feel as much pressing into him.

he bids it open its thighs, though, just enough for him to comfortably slip his hand between them, and run his fingertips along the slick length of its slit, instead. it's so wet already, he supposes it may as well be silently begging for it, the way its grip tightens on him.

"mmh. do you want me to take care of you, hon?"

The sky is just such good poetry inspiration right now. Like, my camera sucks so it won’t do it justice but it’s just a masterful tapestry of shining pastel pink, sprinkled with glorious gold, on a canvas of soothing pastel blue.

“The heavens declare the glory of God” indeed 😭 💖💖💖

I neeeed to write a poem just based on the pure, transcendental beauty of that sky omg <333333

tgcf as a long rambling bedtime story shang qinghua tells xuejiao (because story time is one of the few times his little half-demon whelp will cuddle with him) intended to teach a spoiled ass ice prince the value of humility and goodness and dedication to the people. it backfires horrifically because XJ thinks that xie lian is extremely cringe and in true airplane fashion the epic bloodthirsty demon antagonist ends up being a supreme simp househusband. how does this keep happening to SQH
