Masterlist

Hello! I'm Catie (28 she/her)! Baldur's Gate 3 single-handedly brought me out of a 10 year fanfic writing hiatus and the brain rot is deep in my brain. Mostly SFW works, but I have some NSFW sprinkled throughout, but it's all marked accordingly.

Thanks for visiting!

Complete master list for all of my fanfics are below. They can be read on Tumblr through the links below or can be read on AO3 here if you prefer! Currently all for Baldur's Gate 3, but could include more if I ever get out of the chokehold this game has me in.

For the time being, all Astarion fics are posted in my chronological order. I tend to stray a bit from canon with those and with it being my Tav, the backstory is in the first one. When I get more written for Halsin and other characters it'll be the same.

Thank you so much for reading!

INTRO/AU INFO POST!

Hello! This is an AU belonging to Cartoon Buffoon (or Toon Buffon). This is finding Frankie AU that I cooked up during a rather sleep deprived and overly fixated place as soon as the game came out. This is an OC x CANON AU (I already lost half the people reading this lol) fanfiction intended to follow the rough plot of the Finding Frankie game to a certain point whilst also adding my own spin on its very open universe that leaves plenty of room to add or change stuff. Obviously this contains spoilers to the Finding Frankie game but the game is 1-2 hours long, play it yourself or watch a YT video it's not hard. Anyways: This AU is called [ Finding "Frankie" ] with the specific emphasis on the quotations around the name Frankie being important.

This AU follows both the story of Franky—aka the monstrous murderous mascot— and my OC Toon who is a blob of ink that woke up one day in an abandoned studio and pretends to be a rubberhose cartoon character from the 30s, his form of choice being a half-rat, half-rabbit thing. Franky specifically in this AU is a prototype created from the remains of one of the original creators of Finding Frankie which was a beloved blues-clues style TV show that mysteriously failed. Despite being told by his cartoon obessed brother Frankie—who just so happended to perfect the process and turn himself into what the Frankie character was supposed to look like—that his role is to just continue on and help him get their cartoon show back Franky can't help but feel like something's off. He doesn't feel like someone that used to be human and struggles even further with season 58 going horribly wrong due to the appearance of one odd contestant which awakens something within him by the name of—

TOON! With a rather unoriginal name, Toon is a freak of nature who doesn't even know what he is. The place he woke up in and the only area that could hold answers to who or what he is, is the abandoned animation studio that he calls home. Unfortunately for the little RatBit the studio is threatened to be demolished and it's just his luck he finds the offer of a lifetime. With the prospect of winning 5 million dollars he instantly shows up to this very shady gameshow disguised as a human only to have to reveal himself when things go horribly wrong and a living mascot kills all contestants but him. With his form catching the eye of the game master Toon must struggle to get through obstacles and survive all for the sake of ultimately finding out who or what he is.

As stated before this is an OC X Canon AU and while it does attempt to tell a story I wish to keep it somewhat in the feel of the game. Humor and jokes may be scattered about and I'm aware of the cringiness this entire thing has. All chapters shall be posted here before they will be dumped onto AO3. Chapters may be uploaded sporadically due to the author's very busy life. I also claim to in no way to be a good writer so take everything here with a grain of salt and friendly reminder at the end of the day this is MY AU. With all that having been stated chapters will flip from Franky's POV and Toon's POV every chapter giving a story that is told from both sides of the same coin with the two eventually finding similarities between each other and you can find all the chapters below ↓ (will be updated as I go about this)

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Spade - I've been looking at these riddles the last couple of days and if I am on the right track, so far, they could be REP TV coded - Gift anon may actually be Serpent anon?

My ideas are still a work in progress, and I'm still unsure about some things but wanted to post what I have so far to see others thoughts and perhaps just incase anon stops by on the 53rd…

1. A present is on it’s way, keep your eyes peeled closely. SERPENT - anagram of present - REP TEN - REPUTATION October? SENT - a message is on its way? PEEL - fruit - fruity? a fruity message SWAY - it'S WAY - move/change/rule/control/persuade? CLOSELY - VERY NEAR GIFT - giving without expectation

Rep TV is coming - Will it contain more than we expect?

2. Present, presence, pretence. SERPENT - anagram of present - snake - reputation tv TEN - preTENce - the tenth month (occurring now, something that exists but is unseen, pretending/attempting to make something false appear true)

Restful, reticent, restraint. CENTRE - retiCENT, REstraint - the centre of the month? or CAPITAL? HEART? (something that produces a feeling of calm, not revealing thoughts or feelings readily/silent and reserved, measure or condition that keeps someone under control)

and PUBLISH! PUBlish - where would I find a PUB? LONDON (ANNOUNCE/ISSUE/RELEASE?)

It has been hidden well, look where the above may find you. It may take some time but I have no doubt you will. DON - I have NO Doubt you will - reverse to DON - LONDON TIME - ART - resTRAint- clues hidden in the time magazine art mosaic?

REPTV110 - REP TV 11 OCTOBER ?

REP TV midnight on clock - 25 seconds until midnight… maybe Oct 25?

THIRTEEN scrabble letters (11 points) - orange karma cat, debut guitar, two white cats with pink paint/nails, also next to rep snake/karma orange heart/debut butterfly, 3-4 colour cat

3 x 13 dice totals - 13 DECEMBER -scattered purple beads appear to have hidden letters/numbers?

Time article - ‘Vault tracks are fire’ - Fire is orange

I will stop back by on the 53rd if you are having trouble. 53rd show of the ERA's Tour 2024 - if you ARE having.. - reversed is ERA 53rd show of 2024 is GELSENKIRCHEN N3 - 19th July TROUBLE - synonym - PROBLEM - It's, ME! Hi… ME! SURPRISE SONG?

Main takeaways: Possible announcement in London? Rep TV? Release from restraint - TK PR stunt split? October 11/coming out day - Rep TV announcement or release? December 13 - Meet ME! at midnight… Rep TV/Debut/Karma release?

3. Plausible deniability.

Think of the one we continue to revisit.

This is not the manuscript.

This is not the hint.

I reiterate, this is not the manuscript.

This is a present.

You are looking in the right places.

The predecessor was the crumb.

We seek for answers, but the outside restraint proves her reticent.

The volcano may one day soon spew her fiery guts.

But for now, she slumbers.

The hint is in the words.

Don’t you love a good puzzle?

5. Well, two things can be true.

A gift is a present.

A present is a gift.

Perception is a thief.

Bringing reality abare.

Interpretation sits on one shoulder.

To those who are aware.

Reach those lanterns a little bit higher.

For you shall receive a metaphor so dire.

6. …like the tiny boxes, one within the other, however many you discover there is always one more; *THAT COME FROM THE PUZZLING EAST *PETER PAN - MRS DARLING

7. as when the neighbour holds the lamp, to witness her Goodbye—

when I cannot see words curling like rings of smoke round me,

oh! keeping our hands on our still-closed eyes,

let us vainly recall the joys that take flight.

she will crawl up out of the night—

the volcano will soon rupture,

whoever is to defame?

*LONGINGS LOCKED IN LOWERCASE

Bio of Darth Rayvin Ren

-Some of this info is/may be NONCANON so please do not come at me. This is for my OC and my story of my OC and Kylo Ren. This is for fun and to not be taken seriously. The edit is made by me and I ONLY take credit for the banner not the pics used-

Divider by: @saradika

Birth Name:

Anne V’Torr

Sith Name:

Darth Rayvin (Rayvin Ren - after marriage to Kylo Ren)

Birth place:

Chandrila

Current Home:

Star Destroyer/First Order Ship

Age:

27 (two-four years younger than Ben Solo/Kylo Ren)

Height:

5′0″ (152.40 cm)

Relationships:

mother ( Unknown-deceased)

father (unknown-deceased)

Poe Dameron - Ex boyfriend

Ben Solo/Kylo Ren- Master. Husband. Father of her children

Armitage Hux - Friend/Significant (intimate) partner Lea Briesje - Friend/Sister

Luna Ren/Solo (Daughter)

Huxley Ren/Solo (Son)

Groups:

Resistance (Former)

First Order (Current)

Sith (Current)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anne V’Torr grew up along side the young Jedi Knight Ben Solo. At a young age she would often do tasks for her mother. In a hurry she ran into the young Prince, knocking the times from her small arms onto the floor. Ben Solo chuckled and told her everything is okay and helped her with gathering her things and helping her back to her home.

Ben would often spend time with young Anne, finding excuses to use her Force to do little tricks to make her smile. Years passed and Ben comforted her in the loss of her parents when they were out working as Resistance Fighters. She would spend most of her remaining days quiet and with Ben. It wasn’t until the day he left for Jedi training that she felt like she lost everything.

It wasn’t until years later when she joined The Resistance to get revenge for her parents. There she met a young pilot by the name of Poe Dameron who encountered a similar fate of losing his parents. They bonded together as pilots and the burning fire that raged within them to get the revenge they craved so badly. Every night a man in dark robes plagued her dreams. Something was familiar about him. After a few years of being with Poe they decided to stay friends, allies in the Resistance. Work became their main priority after all.

Years after joinign the Resistance a bit after her 23rd birthday she encountered the very man who plagued her thoughts and dreams at night. Before she could call for backup the man placed his hand up and forced her into slumber, carryign her limp body onto his ship.

When she woke she struggled against her restraints, panic taking over as she noticed her surrounds were of not Resistance but First Order. The sound of the door wooshing open made her freeze in place as the masked man stepped foot into the dark room.

“I finally found you.” He spoke sending chills up her spine.

“Who are you and what do you want from me?” She snipped.

“A friend.” He answered softly, stepping closer to Anne.

“I am no friend of The First Order. You’re a monster!”

“That may be true but there is no denying that you easily let me into that head of yours, Anne”

The man before her moved his hands up to his helmet, a wooshing sound as the front plate moved upward before he removed it, revealing who he was to her.

“Ben?” Tears filled her eyes at the man she thought she would never see again.

“Not anymore. Ben Solo is dead. I am Kylo Ren and I am going to show you how to embrace your powers so you dont have to hide them anymore. Let me show you that path.” A smirk appeared on the dark haired prince’s face as she nodded. “Good... From this day forward you shall be known as Rayvin. My apprentice.”

As Baron drifted off to sleep, he felt himself floating in the air waking up to find himself facing a watery surface. Swimming up as he emerges and climbed out, looking around to see a familiar starry sky, a sea of trees, and orbs gliding in the sky…making him feel a deep longing to fly again… “Nasrin… Did I die in my sleep?” He asked as he turned over to face the woman, only to find she is not here….

“Nasrin? Nasrin!” He called out, looking around to see if he can find her… until spotting a figure in the distance. Walkng over closer and closer to see… “No…you can’t be… Cornelius?!” Baron began to shake and run to the figure, tears streaming down as he ran with his might. “Brother! Cornelius! I’m sorry! I know you told me to protect Mom and my family! But I’m so sorry I couldn’t protect you!” Baron cried out, reaching out his hand to grab his brother for one final hug… only… now he found himself tripping and meeting the water again…only now it feels like mud as it was dragging him down. “No! No no no NO!! Not again! Let me speak to him!!” He cried out now fighting to run pass the Lake of Stars to reach his brother. “Please!… Let me speak to him! One last time! Please!!” He held out his hand to try to grab something…anything!…

Baron felt a hand holding his, looking to see his brother. Giving a supportive smile as it soon turned into a goofy grin. Yet…there was sadness within it as Cornelius’s face softened. “I left Aries a message for her, you, and Mah in it. I forgot to tell this to Hana, my fault there…which is I’m going to say it now. Baron, don’t stay earthbound forever. Use those wings of yours to fly once more! Go forth with no fear, and go forth with swift justice! Just like the old times! Show them and Aries why I, our family , and the rest of the Rangers called you The Silver Comet. Never be bound by sorrow, I did it so Aries won’t have the heartache of losing two people she loved dearly… Use those wings to soar in the sky once again. Morning is coming little brother…and so is my message. Take to the skies as a way to remember me. I love you.”

Baron had tears falling more, before he was about to question him Baron found himself sinking back down as his hand was freed. Falling into darkness once more… looking up to see the stars fading, yet he didn’t feel fear…but a desire to fly. Smiling warmly as he shut his eyes, feeling at peace after so long. Now awakened with a soft gasp as he looked at the ceiling, and looked over to see a sleeping Rina. “….Cornelius….” Baron whispered, looking over to the alarm clock to see its almost dawn. Feeling the determination to fly once again.

Quietly getting up as he grabbed his tools and equipment. After that, he quickly called his Uncle… “Hugo, you awake?” Baron softly asked as the Blacksmith barked out.

“BOY!! It’s 5 in the Morning!! Rina told me you were asleep! Go back to bed and wait for ya daughter!” Shouted the tired and angry Blacksmith, “And I thought my shift was coming up next week to make sure she’ll respond back!”

“I know! But there is something I want to ask! Would you like to help me fix my glider? I’ll explain everything when you get here! But please keep it down!” Baron sheepishly spoke in return. Keeping his voice down to not wake up his wife, but also covering his phone thanks to the outburst.

“….Fine. Let me grab my equipment and tools. And sorry for the shouting there…I’m tired lad…but honestly, I think we all are…including Aries. I’ll be there in 10 minutes.” Hugo was honestly tired and angry he was waken up, but he know Baron long enough if something comes up…especially the stress and worry.

The two hanged up as Baron raced over to his barn, opening the doors to see something under the tarp. Carefully removing it to reveal his wind powered glider, now dusty and possibly some damage within it due to not using it anymore. “Alright Core, one last time in the sky… for you and everyone. Like the old days. The Silver Comet shall Sore the Skies once again.”

True Vine Devotional for November 12

“ He That Abideth in Me, and I in Him, the Same Bringeth Forth Much Fruit ”

John 15:5

Our Lord had spoken of fruit, more fruit. He now adds the thought: much fruit. There is in the Vine such fullness, the care of the divine Husbandman is so sure of success, that the much fruit is not a demand, but the simple promise of what must come to the branch that lives in the double abiding—he in Christ, and Christ in him. “The same bringeth forth much fruit.” It is certain.

Have you ever noticed the difference in the Christian life between work and fruit? A machine can do work: only life can bear fruit. A law can compel work: only love can spontaneously bring forth fruit. Work implies effort and labor: the essential idea of fruit is that it is the silent natural restful produce of our inner life. The gardener may labor to give his apple tree the digging and manuring, the watering and the pruning it needs; he can do nothing to produce the apple: “The fruit of the Spirit is love, peace, joy.” The healthy life bears much fruit. The connection between work and fruit is perhaps best seen in the expression, “fruitful in every good work.” (Colossians 1:10). It is only when good works come as the fruit of the indwelling Spirit that they are acceptable to God. Under the compulsion of law and conscience, or the influence of inclination and zeal, men m ay be most diligent in good works, and yet find that they have but little spiritual result. There can be no reason but this—their works are man’s effort, instead of being the fruit of the Spirit, the restful, natural outcome of the Spirit’s operation within us.

Let all workers come and listen to our holy Vine as He reveals the law of sure and abundant fruitfulness: “He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit.” The gardener cares for one thing—the strength and healthy life of his tree: the fruit follows of itself. If you would bear fruit, see that the inner life is perfectly right, that your relation to Christ Jesus is clear and close. Begin each day with Him in the morning, to know in truth that you are abiding in Him and He in you. Christ tells that nothing less will do. It is not your willing and running, it is not by your might or strength, but—“by my Spirit, saith the Lord.” Meet each new engagement, undertake every new work, with an ear and heart open to the Master’s voice: “He that abideth in me, beareth much fruit.” See you to the abiding; He will see to the fruit, for He will give it in you and through you.

O my brother, it is Christ must do all! The Vine provides the sap, and the life, and the strength: the branch waits, and rests, and receives, and bears the fruit. Oh, the blessedness of being only branches, through whom the Spirit flows and brings God’s life to men!

I pray you, take time and ask the Holy Spirit to give you to realize the unspeakably solemn place you occupy in the mind of God. He has planted you into His Son with the calling and the power to bear much fruit. Accept that place. Look much to God, and to Christ, and expect joyfully to be what God has planned to make you, a fruitful branch.

Much fruit! So be it, blessed Lord Jesus. It can be, for Thou art the Vine. It shall be, for I am abiding in Thee. It must be, for Thy Father is the Husbandman that cleanses the branch. Yea, much fruit, out of the abundance of Thy grace.

August 10

Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Joshua 1:8 You shall meditate on [the book of the law] day and night, so that you may be careful to act in accordance with all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall be successful.

Isaiah 54:10 For the mountains may move and the hills disappear, but even then My faithful love for you will remain. My covenant of blessing will never be broken,” says the LORD, who has mercy on you.

1 Peter 2:9 you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.

Romans 12:1 I appeal to you therefore, brethren, {and} beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service {and} spiritual worship.

1 Thessalonians 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit.

May you put away those ideas and principles, ways of thinking and planning, methods of working and perspectives of both the world and events around that you have accepted and joined yourself to, giving up the half-finished projects and separating yourself from those incomplete accomplishments that have come from those influences so that you may be renewed in your mind and aligned with the Spirit of God to walk before Him in purity of heart and mind, soul and spirit, intent and deed. Ezra 10

May you sorrow before God for the sin of the people, praying and confessing in repentance, weeping prostrate in humility, gathering with others in fellowship of sincerity to seek God and find hope for His people, then rise with courage to do His work with the support of others in agreement with you and the direction of the Spirit of God. Ezra 10

May you seek counsel of others in whom the Spirit of God is cherished and the Word of God is obeyed, taking time to talk and to listen, humbling your heart to receive from God and trusting the Lord to reveal His will, that the methods and actions, being carefully agreed to, will prove to be lasting and bring enduring results. Ezra 10

May you recognize the power and ability of God, giving Him praise for His excellency of Spirit, as you come to understand the extent of the work He has promised to do within us to prepare us and make us ready, when the Word of God says the saints will judge the world, and angels, for who among us is currently fit for that destiny? And yet we know that God makes no casual promises. 1 Corinthians 6

May you be willing to be wronged by a brother, and cheated, rather than allow division and dispute to completely defeat you, though it is caused by the flesh and aggravated by the enemy, lest it steals the unity of the Spirit and disrupts the functioning of Christ's body. 1 Corinthians 6

May you be washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God so that you will no longer be separated from the kingdom of God, but made rightful inheritors, through Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 6

Cling to Me, My child, as to a lifeline. Let go of all weights and attachments, allowing every one of them to drop off as you latch on to Me with all your might. Let nothing drag you down or tear you away; My strength is sufficient to carry you, My love, but how much extra can you hold on to while trying to hold on to Me? What more do you need, as long as you have Me? Release the burdens, the worries, the cares into the darkness of the storm. Allow the wind to carry away the “just in case” provisions and “what if I need” options. I will never let go of you, My precious one, but, unless you trust utterly and completely in Me, you will try to hold onto the world's options while reaching for Me. You cannot be rescued by two sources. You must let go of one, when it is time, and cling to the other. Lighten your load when it is no longer of use to you, My love, lest concern for what you carry cause you to release your hold on Me. Nothing can separate you, My dear one, from My love, but you must choose Me over all others, following My directions which tell you when to move and where to step; other voices have other agendas. Consider the motives, My anxious one. Who lived as you live, and understands what you are facing, having dealt with it personally and walked through it successfully, and thus can guide you correctly? Who gave Himself for you, even to death, after living sinlessly, dying for you so that you may live for Him? Whose sacrifice was accepted, My child, by the Father above, the God of all creation, and Who did the Lord seat at the right side of His throne? Trust Me in full confidence of faith, showing others around you in the storms of doubt and uncertainty how I keep and protect My own. Release what does not come from Me, and depend on that which you receive from Me. Seek to abide in Me, sheltering deeper into the cleft of the Rock. Look for Me as you spend time in My Word, and learn My voice as you spend time in prayer in the Spirit. Do you have any better, or more richly rewarding way to spend your time preparing, once your responsibilities of the day are met? Seek Me, My lovely one, and I will be found by you.

May you not be mastered by anything, save Christ, for though all things are permissible, yet not all are beneficial, to you through the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 6

May you know that the physical body is meant for the Lord, and the Lord for the body, just as the power of God raised the Lord from the dead, and will raise us up also, for the one who unites with the Lord is one with Him in spirit. 1 Corinthians 6

May you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, Who is in you, Whom you have received from God; you are not your own, but were bought at a price – therefore honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6

When you are in distress and your eyes grow weak with sorrow, and your body and soul with grief, your life consumed by anguish and your years by groaning, and your affliction making your strength fail and your bones grow weak, may the Lord be merciful to you. Psalm 31

May you trust in the Lord and acknowledge that He is God, knowing that your times are in His hands, and that He will deliver you from your enemies and from those who pursue you. Psalm 31

May the Lord let His face shine on you as you serve Him, and save you from shame in His unfailing love, as you honor Him by turning to Him and crying to God in your need. Psalm 31

May you give to the Lord obedience and reverence, doing what is right and just, for that is more acceptable than sacrifice. Proverbs 21:3

A link to my personal reading of the Scriptures

for the 24th of july 2024 with a paired chapter from each Testament (the First & the New Covenant) of the Bible

[the letter of 2nd Timothy, chapter 4 • the book of Numbers, chapter 27]

along with Today’s reading from the ancient books of Proverbs and Psalms with Proverbs 24 and Psalm 24 coinciding with the day of the month, accompanied by Psalm 35 for the 35th day of Astronomical Summer, and Psalm 56 for day 206 of the year (with the consummate book of 150 Psalms in its 2nd revolution this year)

A post by John Parsons:

The Hebrew word for "life" is chayim (חַיִּים), a plural noun that contains two consecutive letter yods (יי) that picture two "hands held together" (the Hebrew word yad [יָד] means "hand"), or the union of our spirit with God's Spirit. The word itself reveals that there is no life apart from union with God, who extends his hand to you and says, "Live in me" (John 15:4). Live in God, who is your life, your love, your light, your truth, your healing, your beauty, your breath, and your salvation. Yeshua is the Source of all life, and we find nourishment, strength, and fullness of joy as we connect with his life. The Lord is our light and our salvation, the Mediator of divine life (Psalm 27:1; John 1:4). The Voice of the LORD still speaks: "Take heart. It is I; be not afraid."

The word chayim can be read as chai (חי), "alive," combined with the particle im (אם), "if," suggesting that being alive is conditional on our connection with God in the truth. "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life (חַיֵּי עוֹלָם); whoever refuses the Son shall not see life, but the separation of God remains" (John 3:36). Life and peace are therefore inextricably connected, and those who refuse Yeshua, the Prince of Peace (שַׂר־שָׁלוֹם), therefore separate themselves from unity with God. Yeshua alone is the means of receiving the divine life: "Whoever has the Son has the life (הַחַיִּים); but whoever does not have the Son of God does not have the life" (1 John 5:12).

The Divine Life is such that it is never diminished as it shared but instead grows and multiplies in miraculous ways. This is alluded to by the Hebrew word for love (i.e., ahavah: אהבה), the gematria of which is thirteen (1+5+2+5=13), but when shared with another it is multiplied: 13 x 2 = 26 - the same value for the Sacred Name (יהוה), i.e., (10+5+6+5=26). The love of God given in Yeshua is the very life of the universe...

The word chayim is also written in the plural to indicate that each person potentially contains a “universe of lives” within him or her. Spiritually, your soul is a unity that contains a multiplicity of changes, yet remains a distinct identity. Physically, when Cain murdered his brother Abel, it is written, "the voice of your brother's bloods (plural) cries out from the ground" (Gen. 4:10), indicating that Abel’s descendants also cried out. In light of this the Talmud states, "Whoever destroys a soul, it is considered as if he destroyed an entire world; and whoever saves a life, it is as if he saved an entire world" (Sanhedrin 37a).

Daily Devotionals for June 9, 2024

Proverbs: God's Wisdom for Daily Living

Devotional Scripture:

Proverbs 18:11-12(KJV): 11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city and is a high wall in his conceit. 12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility. Proverbs 18:11-12(Amp): 11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city and is a high protecting wall, in his imagination and conceit. 12 Haughtiness comes before disaster, and humility before honor.

Thought for the Day

Verse 11 - In ancient times, those who lived within the strong walls of a fortified city were secure from enemies. Archaeology reveals that some walls were wide enough that two lanes of cars could drive upon them! In the rich man's conceit, he believes his wealth surrounds him with as much security as the huge walls of an ancient city. He tends to think money will save him from any threatening circumstances. He does not look to God for anything. Wealth, however, can easily slip away through bad business deals and stock market failures. Inclement weather and fires can destroy businesses and homes. Insurance may cover some losses, but often the rich cannot recuperate. Many a wealthy man has seen the "high protecting walls" of his strong city tumble down. In his pride, he attributed his success to his abilities, intelligence, and hard work. Personal commitment and hard work do bring rewards, but when one leaves God out of the picture, one is headed for a great fall.

Verse 12 - Haughtiness leads to destruction. Many fail to recognize that if it were not for God's grace and mercy, they could not have achieved anything. Men and women who trust in material possessions instead of God will be in great misery one day if they should lose them.

Money cannot buy health. Yet, many take good health for granted and never thank God for their blessing of freedom from sickness. They also fail to realize that good mental health is a blessing too. When we can walk free of depression lie down at night and enjoy a peaceful night's sleep, this is a blessing from God. Rich people without God are some of the most miserable people on the planet. "Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver are cankered, and the rust of them shall be a witness against you and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days" (James 5:1-3).

Men who take pride in their possessions and accomplishments will find that "pride goeth before a fall." Honor, however, will be bestowed upon the humble; those who acknowledge God in all their ways, and recognize that all that they have and are (all of their abilities and successes) come from Him. "But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble" (James 4:6).

Prayer Devotional for the Day

Dear heavenly Father, thank you for teaching me that true wealth is found in You. Lord, truly, Christ is all that we need. Having a relationship with You will bring the answer to any problem I may face. I can trust You to supply all my needs because You promised to take care of me. There is such freedom in this knowledge. I know that every day my needs shall be met in You. Lord, help all my friends and family to rest in Your promises too. Strengthen us to trust You daily. I know when I am weak, You are strong. May we all look to You for our answers. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

GOD SPEAKS TO YOUR LIFE: (72523) Why art thou cast down, O my soul, and why art thou troubled within me? Wait upon God, for I shall praise Him again. He is the salvation of my soul, and my God.(Psalm 43:5) We have all had days when we have felt down or depressed. Some have had days when everything seems bleak and hopeless, when there seems to be no joy in life. When nothing seems to cheer us up, or even if it does, it's not for long. There are days when we don't even feel like praying and there is simply no energy to face the world or live through the day. "Depression" may be too strong a word to describe what most of us suffer from, but it is true that most of us have come across this type of situation throughout our lives. Some manage to get out of it on their own or with the help of friends and family, others get over it with professional help, while many just carry on, trying to cope as best they can. If you are struggling with despair, hopelessness or depression. God is with you and also for many of us, strangers to each other, but all fighting the same battle. But, if there is one support we all have, that we can all cling to, it is our God. His Word reveals His great love for us and assures us that, even when everything around us and within us crumbles, He is there with us, an unshakable strength, a strong tower, a rock on which we can lean. PRAYER OF SALVATION. Lord, save me, I have sinned before You. The storms of my sin make me afraid and I do not want to die in sin, that is why I come before you asking for forgiveness. I want to follow you from today as my Lord and Savior. Guide my steps and my life. I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen. PRAYER FOR OUR SICK BROTHERS AND SISTERS Father, help them to know that you are close to the brokenhearted and that you are the source of all consolation, that they may find your strength in their weakness and that your hope and peace may fill their hearts. In the name of Jesus we ask this in Amen! ✝ Your prayer is powerful. Its power lies not in you, the one who utters it, but in the ONE who hears it, God.

Tuesday, Twelfth Week in Ordinary Time

(Liturgical Colour: Green: A (1))

First Reading Genesis 13:2,5-18 Abram settles in the land of Canaan and builds an altar to the Lord.

Abram was a very rich man, with livestock, silver and gold. Lot, who was travelling with Abram, had flocks and cattle of his own, and tents too. The land was not sufficient to accommodate them both at once, for they had too many possessions to be able to live together. Dispute broke out between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and those of Lot’s. (The Canaanites and the Perizzites were then living in the land.) Accordingly Abram said to Lot, ‘Let there be no dispute between me and you, nor between my herdsmen and yours, for we are brothers. Is not the whole land open before you? Part company with me: if you take the left, I will go right; if you take the right, I will go left.’

Looking round, Lot saw all the Jordan plain, irrigated everywhere – this was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah – like the garden of the Lord or the land of Egypt, as far as Zoar. So Lot chose all the Jordan plain for himself and moved off eastwards. Thus they parted company: Abram settled in the land of Canaan; Lot settled among the towns of the plain, pitching his tents on the outskirts of Sodom. Now the people of Sodom were vicious men, great sinners against the Lord.

The Lord said to Abram after Lot had parted company with him, ‘Look all round from where you are towards the north and the south, towards the east and the west. All the land within sight I will give to you and your descendants for ever. I will make your descendants like the dust on the ground: when men succeed in counting the specks of dust on the ground, then they will be able to count your descendants! Come, travel through the length and breadth of the land, for I mean to give it to you.’

So Abram went with his tents to settle at the Oak of Mamre, at Hebron, and there he built an altar to the Lord.

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 14(15):2-5

R/ The just will live in the presence of the Lord.

Lord, who shall dwell on your holy mountain? He who walks without fault; he who acts with justice and speaks the truth from his heart; he who does not slander with his tongue.

R/ The just will live in the presence of the Lord.

He who does no wrong to his brother, who casts no slur on his neighbour, who holds the godless in disdain, but honours those who fear the Lord.

R/ The just will live in the presence of the Lord.

He who keeps his pledge, come what may; who takes no interest on a loan and accepts no bribes against the innocent. Such a man will stand firm for ever.

R/ The just will live in the presence of the Lord.

Gospel Acclamation Matthew 11:25

Alleluia, alleluia! Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for revealing the mysteries of the kingdom to mere children. Alleluia!

Or: John 8:12

Alleluia, alleluia! I am the light of the world, says the Lord; anyone who follows me will have the light of life. Alleluia!

Gospel Matthew 7:6,12-14 Treat others as you would like them to treat you.

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls in front of pigs, or they may trample them and then turn on you and tear you to pieces.

‘So always treat others as you would like them to treat you; that is the meaning of the Law and the Prophets. ‘Enter by the narrow gate, since the road that leads to perdition is wide and spacious, and many take it; but it is a narrow gate and a hard road that leads to life, and only a few find it.’

The Gospel of the Lord

R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

(Readings for the memorial)

(There is a choice today between the readings for the ferial day (Tuesday) and those for the memorial. The ferial readings are recommended unless pastoral reasons suggest otherwise)

First Reading 2 Timothy 4:1-5 Make the preaching of the Good news your life's work, in thoroughgoing service.

Before God and before Christ Jesus who is to be judge of the living and the dead, I put this duty to you, in the name of his Appearing and of his kingdom: proclaim the message and, welcome or unwelcome, insist on it. Refute falsehood, correct error, call to obedience – but do all with patience and with the intention of teaching. The time is sure to come when, far from being content with sound teaching, people will be avid for the latest novelty and collect themselves a whole series of teachers according to their own tastes; and then, instead of listening to the truth, they will turn to myths. Be careful always to choose the right course; be brave under trials; make the preaching of the Good News your life’s work, in thoroughgoing service.

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.
