Saint Juan Diego 1474-1548 Feast day: December 9 Patronage: America and Natives

Saint Juan Diego was an indigenous Mexican who embraced the Catholic faith, spread by the Spanish friars, that came with Cortez. On December 9th, 1531, Our Lady appeared to him on Tepeyac Hill (Guadalupe), as he was going to Mass, asking for a church to be built on that spot. After convincing the skeptical Bishop of the authenticity of the apparition, through Mary’s miraculous image on his tilma (cloak) and Castillian roses spilling out when he opened the tilma, the Bishop had the church built. Thousands of conversions occurred, when the tilma, with our Lady’s image on it, was processed through Mexico City. St. Juan Diego spent the rest of his life as the caretaker of the tilma and telling the story of the apparition. The tilma can be seen today in the basilica in Mexico City. {website}

"I didn't know my government could do this" is a wild statement to me not only because I've grown up being aware of many war crimes and genocides done by the USA and other such countries, but that information is really not that hard to find. People complain about their education system a lot but there are thousands of books, documentaries, essays, articles- hell, even videos -about the numerous atrocities committed by the USAmerican government that they should be looking for. The main thing people tell others to do is educate themselves. I'm just.

On Saint Patrick's Day, The Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, in a speech in front of President Joe Biden, that Ireland Stands with Palestine. This occurred during White House Festivities.

The Irish hold Solidarity for the Palestinian Peoples, as the Peoples of Ireland know of the violent nature and oppression of a colonizer. Yet another embarrassing moment for Genocide Joe.

Hi Moonstripe! Darkpaw of Surfclan writing. I read you knew a little bit about ghosts? I keep seeing this... Cat.. who doesn't shine like Starclan. Have you seen anything like this before?

As Moonstripe writes, his shadow begins to shift behind him and slowly creep up the wall of his cave domicile. It begins to form a hulking cat much bigger than any in life, with light only forming where two eyes should be. Moonstripe twitches and turns to lick an itch on his neck. Out of the corner of his eye he sees something... But as he looks up to the wall, the shade is gone.
