SEND ME A CHARACTER MEME for Mr. Gaius Baelsar, if you like :D

> W > Bless you.

First impression

I’ll admit, I don’t really recall what my first impression was, but might have been (insert Darth Vader Theme here). I was just so preoccupied by the game in general (struggling to get even marginally good), and more of my focus was on Thancred, Lahabrea, and the Ascians insofar as the plot went. Gaius was box-cover dude, and overall a vaguely interesting antagonist in his approach to things (iirc might have reminded me a bit of Vayne Solidor at times). I honestly really wish I could go back and pick my brain because it’s all pretty fuzzy.

Impression now

.......The stars in my sky? The breath in my lungs? The rhythm my heart dances to? From what humble beginnings did we come from... As far as actual in-game perception goes, I’m cautiously hopeful that they’ll approach a ‘redemption arc’ with him in a good, proper way. From Ahru’s perspective, she’s honestly willing to live and let live on the simple grounds that he saved Alphinaud and brought him back to her - that’s it, that’s enough for her, even if it’d be absurd to others and extremely self-centered. But this is less ‘impression’ and more ‘speculation’ now.

Favorite moment

...Lemme just... carefully remove All Of These Headcanons, distinguish fictional fact from headcanon fiction. Really, his first return saving Alphinaud was just -chef’s kiss- Good Stuff. (At any given time I’m probably quoting something in my head from this specific Larryzaur video tbh.) There were things about the scene where he brings Alphinaud back at Seiryuu’s Wall that could have been done a little better, but it’s also at the top for me because my boy... He brought my boy back ; ; Also from the moment we first saw him again and it was obvious they wanted to keep this ‘mystery’, I knew they HAD to have US, the WoL, be the one to say his name for the first time; to be the one to say “I KNOW YOU” and they definitely did, they gave that to me, and I was SO fucking happy.

Idea for a story

H A H. :’’’’D Okay, all of my many ideas for Ahru/Gaius shippy stuff aside, I actually would love to write some stuff during his travels with Alphinaud and Estinien both!

Unpopular opinion

...I love him. I think that’s a pretty unpopular one, actually. I want a redemption arc for him, but I agree of course it has to be done well and tactfully. I don’t necessarily want him to just immediately be our Best Buddy, it can be tentative and slow, and no one has to feel forced to forgive him for his obvious atrocities, but I do want that for him in the end.

Favorite relationship

...again, headcanons aside, *cough*Ahru*cough* I am thriving on his interactions with both Alphinaud and Estinien. They’re so brief, and we really didn’t get to see a lot of either, but I would love to see so much more. It’s funny I was just looking back through his tag way before him and Esti partnered up and I’d already made some mention about the two of them and WoL lamenting their fool genius son and now I’m just thriving. I need the three of them and Thancred and Sidurgu to go get drinks sighing over their adopted children.

Favorite headcanon

...The one (thousand) where he smooches Ahru a lot. Also he likes sweets - not a lot, just a little, but enough to be marginally surprising. And less a HC than a vision of him sitting at his desk pouring over reports with ceruleum-light blocking glasses. Also less a HC and more a whole speculative hope is him becoming part of a council overseeing the re-established republic of Garlemald. But if not that he just fucks off like (or with?) Estinien and becomes a hunter of Bad Things in general.

(Send me a character)

The Domestic Life Of The Vision And His Witch, Chapter 1: While She Sleeps

Summary: With Thanos defeated, Wanda and Vision settle down for a quiet life raising their twin sons, Tommy and Billy, but quiet can be hard to come by when your surrogate family are The Avengers

.However, Vision may be glad for their help when the time comes for him to ask Wanda a very important question.Sequel to 'Nothing Is Impossible'.

A03 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/18461504/chapters/43737857

Vision didn't need to sleep much. Strictly speaking, he didn't need to 'sleep' at all. He entered a restful state that was similar to sleep, that he usually referred to as sleep to make things easier, a state that he could sometimes be jolted out of by nightmarish images in his mind, yet somehow wasn't quite the same. Whatever he should have called it, Vision did not need to rest for nearly as long as real flesh-and-blood humans needed to sleep.

Earlier in his life, this had been.. Well, not a problem, exactly, but it had resulted in Vision being left alone for a long stretch every night, time which he usually spent reading, except for those nights when his best friend woke from a nightmare and he kept her company until she went back to sleep.

Now, however, it didn't matter at all that Vision didn't need much sleep. It didn't matter that he didn't need as much rest as a human, because he was perfectly happy to hold Wanda Maximoff as she slept. This was what he was doing right now. Holding her close, stroking her hair. Pressing the occasional kiss to her forehead.

Wanda looked so beautiful when she slept. Relaxed, completely at peace. She didn't have nightmares nearly as much as she had when they lived at the Avengers compound, and she almost never had them when Vision was holding her. So, he held her.

He couldn't believe how lucky he was to be with her, to have her love him, to have her as his partner, his lover, the Mother of his children, his wi.. Well, he was still working on that last point, would get on to it eventually, but for now they were still settling into their new life. The life they had now that Wanda was free, she didn't have to run anymore, and they could settle down and raise their baby sons in peace.

Vision raised his head for a moment to peek over at the two small cots beside their bed. Tommy was squirming a little, a sign that he would wake soon, while Billy still slept peacefully.

Vision's lesser need for sleep was also an advantage when it came to caring for the twins. As long as there was a little of Wanda's pumped breastmilk available, Vision could feed and tend to the boys when Wanda needed a little extra shut eye. As Vision expected, Tommy began to whine. Wanda stirred at the sound, but Vision kissed her forehead.

"I'll get him, love. You sleep."

"Esti cel mai bun, Vizh.." Wanda murmured, before quickly drifting off again.

Vision carefully de-tangled himself from her arms, then padded over to scoop Tommy out of his cot.

"It's alright, Daddy's got you.." He checked his diaper, somewhat relieved to find it dry, as changing Tommy could quickly become a two-man job if he was in a particularly squirmy mood. "Still clean. Let's go get you a bit of milk then.."

Vision headed out of the bedroom, navigating past the two giant stuffed bunnies Tony had gifted the twins, and a pile of Nathaniel Pietro Barton's toys to reach the Kitchen. He fetched a bottle from the fridge and placed it in the microwave to heat up, gently rocking Tommy to soothe him as they waited. After checking the temperature of the milk, he offered it to Tommy, who drank happily. Tommy was a quarter of the way through the bottle when Vision heard Billy cry, and saw light filter out the bottom of their bedroom door as the lamp was switched on.

He headed back to the room, sighing, to find Wanda now sat up in bed, Billy suckling at her breast. She looked up at Vision with a sleepy smile.

"Hey.."

"I'm sorry."

"It's just part of having two" Wanda shrugged, kissing his cheek when he sat back beside her. "You couldn't feed them both at once anyway, Vizh. I, on the other hand, have two convenient sanii."

"Oh.. yes, of course.." Vision's cheeks seemed to turn a darker shade of red, and Wanda smirked.

"You certainly have no reason to be shy about them. I remember that you like to.."

"Wanda!" Vision cried, trying to cover Tommy's ears. "Not in front of the children!"

"They're three months old, Vizh" Wanda chuckled. "They have no idea that I'm talking about anything naughty.. But alright. I will stop teasing you."

"Thank you" Vision's face dimmed back to it's usual shade, setting aside Tommy's now empty bottle and lifting him to his shoulder to burp him, and hoped he was not being too obvious as he changed the subject. "Well, while we've got a moment, I asked Clint and Laura to watch the twins for us on Wednesday night.."

"Oh?" Wanda feigned ignorance, but the corners of her lips tugged upwards in a cheeky smile. "And what's so special about Wednesday night, hmm?"

"Well," Vision blinked, slightly surprised. "It is our anniversary, of course."

"Ah, of course it is" Wanda grinned at him. "So, any big plans then?"

"Well, I was hoping you might let me take you out" said Vision. "We have been rather housebound since we returned from Wakanda."

"We have.." Wanda leaned over to kiss him as she set Billy over her shoulder. "A night out will be lovely, Vision. Of course, nothing will quite be able to top what we did last year.."

"That was a wonderful night.." a slightly goofy smile spread over Vision's face.

"It was" Wanda smiled, a faint blush coming to her cheeks. "We made the boys that night.."

"We did.. a wonderful anniversary surprise" He kissed the top of Tommy's head.

Once both twins were burped, changed, and back to sleep, Wanda and Vision slipped back under the covers. Wanda curled against Vision's chest, her head tucked under his chin.

"Love you, Vizh" Wanda murmured.

"I love you too" Vision replied, pressing a kiss into her hair as she drifted off. "So much."

Vision didn't need much sleep. But holding Wanda Maximoff as she slept was one of his favourite things in the Universe.

Then may I ask for hetero and lesbian Naruto matchups, please? I'm a 164 cm tall, slim girl. I have demi-long brown hair and brown eyes. I wear black eyeglasses. I like skirts and dresses, in one word: girly clothes. Light makeup. I'm a very-very critical person and proud of that. I consider myself as a loyal, patient and caring one, around new people I can be a bit shy. When my crush is around I get helplessly embrassed, but also I hide it pretty well. (I)

Clumsy af. I mean really, really clumsy.I love to share my opinion about anything. I can be really silent and serious at times, dreamy one. Usually forget about the people around and then ask: "Sorry, what did you say?" Yeah, easily stuck in my lil world haha. Try to be realistic and intellectual. My classmates are into my natural massage skills and always asking me doing some for them at P.E. lessons. I like light alcohol(cider etc.) and occassionally one cigarette. (II)

When I am mad at someone I need a few hours alone, then I'll be fine. One of the hardest things to make me talk about my problems but if someone open up to me I'll be really glad it warms my heart. Btw easy to make me happy. Into hanging out with my friends. Have an ironic, usually troll-sense of humour. Probably would be the sub one in a relationship. I want to become a lawyer. The most important thing in my life is family(but don't want kids), I love them soo much. (III)

I'm in LOVE with the classical literature(bookworm) and theatre. Doing yoga, hiking, table tennis and going running one of my favourite things to do. Lowkey would be into a bit clingy cuddler-monster(yeah, I am maybe needy and sensitive but would never admit that huh). Listen to music everyday mostly alternative rock, inde but I find almost all kind of music enjoyable(fav: Tame Impala, FOB and Esti Kornél/Hungarian band/). Zodiac sign Virgo, Hogwarts house is Hufflepuff. (IV)

For Naruto(your hetero matchup):

Kakashi Hatake!

Man, oh man Kakashi just couldn’t help himself when he met you. Usually he was great at concealing his emotions but boi you had him bent.

Kakashi is also often lost in thought, probably why he’s almost always late to everything. You two can relate to a lot of things, actually. You have many similar personality traits.

Lives for your massages. Even when you guys were just friends he’d ask you after missions for a nice massage. Usually you guys would relax over some ramen and Tame Impala’s song and some form of alchohol before or after his massages.

Kakashi is also a bookworm, and you two will often tell each other about your books. He loves hiking, yoga, and exercising too! Yoga is probably his favorite thing to do with you, actually.

Very touchy feely. Constantly hugging you or tickling you or messing with your hair or smth. Honestly needs attention too sometimes. He likes listening to some of your music. Especially on missions he’ll just play some of your favorite songs .

Kakashi is extremely worried about losing you, so you’re his top priority. He’s very protective and passionate about you, and is almost always bragging about you or telling Gai how lucky he really is.

Your lesbian Naruto matchup:

Temari!

She adored you!...From a safe distance. She just couldn’t take her eyes off of you, and she wanted to spend all her time with you! She accidentally confessed her feeling while on one of her rants because you accidentally flustered her with your clumsy flirting.

She is very affectionate, and wants to express her passion for you in as many ways as possible; usually, it’s through words. In return, you give her wonderful massages.

Temari is dedicated to keeping you happy. She hates seeing her loved ones upset or mad, but she understands when you need your space. When you aren’t upset anymore, she already has an apology and some kind words waiting for you.

Temari would gladly listen to all her problems so long as you can help her with her own. She lives for spending time with you and just bathing in your presence. She likes the way you dress!

She thinks of you as her best friend. You two rely on each other, and she leads you two into adventures while you cheer her on! Temari also can’t keep her hands off you hehe. Constantly hugging, holding hands, cuddling, forehead kisses, the whole UwU. Sometimes, it can get really ÙwÚ, though.

She loves you a lot. And she loves partaking in your interests. Yoga(like Kakashi) has to be her favorite thing, though. It’s nice in the early mornings when it’s just the two of you in a quiet, isolated area. Also, Temari likes FOB too.

I hope you like it! I didn’t mind the longness of it at all btw, and I actually enjoyed writing this a ton! It took me awhile to actually do it, so sorry about that!

THE FIRST EPISTLE OF ST. John, THE APOSTLE - From The Latin Vulgate Bible

Chapter 5

PREFACE.

This epistle was always acknowledged for canonical, and written by St. John, the apostle and evangelist. At what time and place, is uncertain. It is sometimes called the Epistle to the Parthians, or Persians. The chief design is to set forth the mystery of Christ's incarnation against Cerinthus, who denied Christ's divinity, and against Basilides, who denied that Christ had a true body; with zealous exhortations to love God and our neighbour. (Witham)

Chapter 5

Of them that are born of God, and of true charity. Faith overcomes the world. Three that bear witness to Christ. Of faith in his name, and of sin that is, and is not to death.

1 Every one who believeth that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And every one that loveth him that begot, loveth him also who was born of him.

Notes & Commentary:

Ver. 1. That Jesus is the Christ, the promised Messias, the Redeemer of the world, is born of God, is made his adoptive son by his grace in baptism. (Witham) --- Is born of God; that is, is justified, and become a child of God by baptism; which is also to be understood, provided the belief of this fundamental article of the Christian faith be accompanied with all the other conditions, which, by the word of God and his appointment, are also required for justification; such as a general belief of all that God has revealed and promised; hope, love, repentance, and a sincere disposition to keep God's holy law and commandments. (Challoner) --- Loveth him[1] that begot; i.e. the eternal Father. --- Loveth him also who was born of him; i.e. loveth him who is his only begotten and eternal Son. (Witham)

Note 1:

Ver. 1. Eum qui genuit, ton gennesanta, generantem; which, in English, may be translated, the Father.

2 In this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

Ver. 2. In this we know that we love the children of God, (that is, all men, and especially the faithful, who are made his adoptive children) when we love God, and keep his commandments, for these two branches of charity, the love of God and of our neighbour, are inseparable: the one is known and proved by the other. (Witham)

3 For this is the charity of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not heavy.

Ver. 3. And his commandments are not heavy; not burdensome. Not but that they comprehend what seems hard to human frailty, and especially to men carried away with the love of vanities in this world, who think it hard to comply with Christ's doctrine of self-denials, of renouncing their inclinations, of suffering death, sooner than to sin against God, or to renounce their faith: but the love of God, and the promises of an eternal happiness in the next life, with the assistances which God gives them, make the yoke of Christ sweet, and his burden light. See Matthew xi. 30. How different is this doctrine from that of those late heretics, who pretend that God's commandments are impossible, even to just men, when they employ all their endeavours. See the first proposition of Jansenius, and this heresy of Calvin condemned by the council of Trent, session 6, cap. xi. canon. 18. (Witham)

4 For whatsoever is born of God, overcometh the world: and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith.

Ver. 4. This is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith. That is, a lively faith, working by charity, makes a man victorious over the greatest temptations, and over all the adversaries of his salvation. (Witham) --- Our faith; Not a bare speculative or dead faith, but a faith working by charity. (Galatians v. 6.) (Challoner)

5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Ver. 5. No explanation given.

6 This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not in water only, but in water and blood. And it is the spirit that testifieth, that Christ is the truth.

Ver. 6. Came by water and blood. The sense seems to be, by water, with which he ordered every one to be baptized and made Christians; 2ndly, by his blood shed on the cross for our redemption. (Witham) --- Blood: not only to wash away our sins by the water of baptism, but by his own blood. (Challoner) --- And it is the Spirit that testifieth that Christ[2] is the truth. By the Spirit, which is not here called the Holy Spirit, or the Holy Ghost, as in the next verse, is either meant the Spirit or soul of Christ, which dying he recommended into the hands of his Father, and which shewed that he was truly man, against Cerinthus, and some heretics of those times; or else it may signify the spirit of grace, given in this world to the faithful, in the same sense as St. Paul says, (Romans viii. 16.) that the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our Spirit, that we are the sons of God: and of which may be understood what is said here, (ver. 10.) He that believeth in the Son of God, hath the testimony of God in himself. (Witham)

Note 2:

Ver. 6. Quoniam Christus est veritas; in most Greek copies is now read, oti to pneuma esti e aletheia, quoniam Spiritus est veritas.

7 And there are three that give testimony in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Ver. 7. There are three that give testimony in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one: i.e. one in nature, in substance, and in all perfections, in the same sense as when Christ himself said, (John x. 30.) I and the Father are one, or one thing. The Socinians object that this verse is wanting in many Greek manuscripts; and even Erasmus in one edition, and Mr. Simon in his Critics, have questioned it, or rejected it, as a false reading, but without any sufficient proofs and grounds, as hath been shewn by many learned Catholics, and also by Protestant writers, who receive in their translations this verse as canonical. It is easy to account for the omission of this verse; for as both the seventh and eighth verse begin and end with the same words, this gave occasion to the oversight and omission of the transcribers, whereas it is not credible that such a whole verse could be added. And that it was only by the mistake and oversight of transcribers may further appear, because we find part of the seventh verse, to wit, and these three are one, cited by Tertullian, lib. contra Praxeam. chap. xxiii. p. 515. Ed. Rig. and twice by St. Cyprian, Epist. 73. ad Jubaianum. p. 125. Ed. Rig. in the Oxford Edition, p. 310. and in his Treatise de Unit. Ecclesiæ, p. 181. Ed. Rigal. and in the Oxford Ed. p. 79, where also Dr. Fell defends this verse of St. John to be genuine. Tertullian and St. Cyprian wrote long before the dispute with the Arians. The Socinians also object that this passage is not brought by St. Athanasius and some other fathers against the Arians, which they could scarce have omitted had they read this verse, but this only proves that this omission had happened in some manuscripts in their time, or, as some conjecture, that the Arians had corrupted some copies. St. Fulgentius made use of it against the Arians, and also others about that time. See the Benedictines of St. Maur against Mr. Simon, in the first tome of St. Jerome, p. 1670. Both Catholics and Protestants, after a diligent examination, have received this verse, which is found in the best manuscripts. See Greek Testament at Amsterdam, in the year 1711.[A.D. 1711.] The three divine Persons, who are present everywhere, though said to be in heaven, gave testimony concerning Christ. The Father by a voice from heaven, both at his baptism (Matthew iii. 17.) and at his transfiguration, (Matthew xvii. 5.) saying: "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, hear ye him:" and also by all the miracles wrought by the same power of all the three divine Persons. 2. The Son testified to the Jews on many occasions, that he was sent from God, that he was the only Son of God, that he and his Father were one, &c. as in the annotations on John iii. The Holy Ghost confirmed the same, particularly by coming down upon the disciples on the day of Pentecost, and inspiring them to teach the same doctrine concerning Jesus Christ. (Witham) --- An express proof of the three distinct persons and unity of nature and essence in the blessed Trinity.

8 And there are three that give testimony on earth: the spirit, and water, and blood: and these three are one.

Ver. 8. And there are three that give testimony on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three are one.[3] This is a repetition of what was before said, ver. 6, to be expounded in the same manner. But when it is added, these three are one, the sense is, that they witness one and the same truth. (Witham) --- As the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, all bear witness to Christ's divinity; so the spirit, which he yielded up, crying out with a loud voice upon the cross, and the water and blood that issued from his side, bear witness to his humanity, and are one; that is, all agree in one testimony. (Challoner)

Note 3:

Ver. 8. Hi tres unum sunt. Divers Greek copies, eis en eisin, in unum sunt: and so the Protestant translation hath, and these three agree in one; though in the seventh verse they follow the manuscripts which there have, are one, kai oi treis en eisi.

9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater: for this is the testimony of God, which is greater, because he hath testified of his Son.

Ver. 9. No explanation given.

10 He that believeth in the Son of God, hath the testimony of God in himself. He that believeth not the Son, maketh him a liar: because he believeth not in the testimony which God hath testified of his Son.

Ver. 10. He that believeth not the Son, maketh him (God) a liar, by refusing to believe the testimonies given by the three divine Persons, that Jesus was the Messias and the true Son of God, by whom eternal life is obtained and promised to all that comply with his doctrine. In him we have also this lively confidence, that we shall obtain whatever we ask, according to his will, when we ask what is for our good with perseverance and in the manner we ought. And this we know and have experience of, by having obtained the petitions that we have made. (Witham)

11 And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us eternal life: and this life is in his Son.

Ver. 11. No explanation given.

12 He that hath the Son, hath life: he that hath not the Son, hath not life.

Ver. 12. No explanation given.

13 These things I write to you, that you may know that you have eternal life, who believe in the name of the Son of God.

Ver. 13. No explanation given.

14 And this is the confidence which we have in him: that whatsoever we shall ask, according to his will, he heareth us.

Ver. 14. No explanation given.

15 And we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask: we know that we have the petitions which we request of him.

Ver. 15. No explanation given.

16 He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not unto death, let him ask, and life shall be given to him, that sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death; I do not say that any one should ask for it.

Ver. 16. A sin which is not unto death....and life shall be given to him. It is hard to determine what St. John here calls a sin which is not unto death, and a sin which is unto death. The difference cannot be the same as betwixt sins that are called venial and mortal; for he says, that if a man pray for his brother who commits a sin that is not unto death, life shall be given to him: therefore such a one had before lost the life of grace, and been guilty of what is commonly called a mortal sin. And when he speaks of a sin that is unto death, and adds these words, I do not say that any one should ask for that sin, it cannot be supposed that St. John would say this of every mortal sin, but only of some heinous sins which are very seldom remitted, because such sinners very seldom repent. By a sin therefore which is not unto death, interpreters commonly understand a wilful apostacy from the faith, and from the known truth, when a sinner hardened by his own ingratitude becomes deaf to all admonitions, will do nothing for himself, but runs on to final impenitence. Nor yet does St. John say that such a sin is never remitted, or cannot be remitted, but only has these words, I do not say that any one should ask for the remission of that sin; that is, though we must pray for all sinners whatsoever, yet man cannot pray for such sinners with such a confidence of obtaining always their petitions, as St. John said before, ver. 14. Whatever exposition we follow on this verse, our faith teaches us from the holy Scriptures, that God desires not the death of any sinner, but that he be converted and live. See Ezechiel xxxiii. 11. Though men's "sins be as the scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow." (Isaias i. 18.) It is the will of God that every one come to the knowledge of truth and be saved. See John vi. 40. There is no sin so great but which God is willing to forgive, and has left power in his Church to remit the most enormous sins; so that no sinner need despair of pardon, nor will any sinner perish but by his own fault. (Witham) --- A sin unto death. Some understand this of final impenitence, or of dying in mortal sin, which is the only sin that never can be remitted; but, it is probable, he may also comprise under this name the sin of apostacy from the faith, and some other such henious sins as are seldom and hardly remitted: and therefore he gives little encouragement to such as pray for these sinners, to expect what they ask. (Challoner)

17 All iniquity is sin: and there is a sin unto death.

Ver. 17. All iniquity[4] is sin. The sense here is, that sin is always an injury or an injustice done to God; but though every sin implies such an injury and an offence against God, yet there are different degrees in such injuries, which are not always such an injustice as St. John calls the sin unto death. (Witham)

Note 4:

Ver. 17. Omnis iniquitas, pasa adikia, properly injustitia. It is not here anomia, as in Chap. iii. 4.

18 We know that every one, who is born of God, sinneth not: but the generation of God preserveth him, and the wicked one toucheth him not.

Ver. 18. Sinneth not. See the annotation on chap. iii. 6. &c. (Challoner) --- The generation[5] of God preserveth him, (i.e. the grace of adoption, as long as it remains in the soul; see Chap. iii. 9.) and the wicked one (i.e. the devil) toucheth him not. (Witham)

Note 5:

Ver. 18. Sed generatio Dei: Some manuscripts, genesis; others, o gennetheis ek tou Theou. qui genitus est ex Deo.

19 We know that we are of God; and the whole world is seated in wickedness.

Ver. 19. And the whole world is seated in wickedness;[6] i.e. a great part of the world. It may also signify, is under the wicked one; meaning the devil, who is elsewhere called the prince of this world, that is, of all the wicked. (John xii. 31.) (Witham)

Note 6:

Ver. 19. In maligno positus est, en to ponero keitai.

20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and he hath given us understanding, that we may know the true God, and may be in his true Son. This is the true God, and life eternal.

Ver. 20. And may be in his true Son.[7] This is the true God, and eternal life. Which words are a clear proof of Christ's divinity, and as such made use of by the ancient Fathers.

Note 7:

Ver. 20. In vero Filio ejus, hic est verus Deus, en to alethino uio autou, outos estin o alethinos Theos, with the Greek article. St. Athanasius, St. Ambrose, St. Hilary, St. Augustine, St. Cyril by this sentence prove Christ truly God. See Petavius, lib. 2. de Trin. chap. ix. num. 8.

21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

Ver. 21. Keep yourselves from idols. An admonition to the new converted Christians, lest, conversing with heathens and idolaters, they might fall back into the sin of idolatry, which may be the sin unto death here mentioned by St. John. (Witham)

The Overall Wedding Planning Process

I am a planner. Obviously if you have read any of my other articles, I LIVE to plan. Planning my own wedding was going to be just as fun right? Just a month after getting engaged and with the declining health of my Grandfather we decided to get married in one year in June 2016. We started by researching florists, day of coordinators and bakeries; the stress of planning really set in. Within a month, with a little luck, we found this incredible company called John Michael Event Services. I knew that I wanted to be involved with the personal things like our cake topper and guest book; but I realized I REALLY needed help with the everything else.

We had a strict budget of 13K for our wedding, so we went in with low hopes that they could assist us. To our surprise, they offered us a customized event planning bundle at 10K to include a custom cake, wedding planner, day of coordinator, custom floral, catering and drinks. We were lucky enough to have friends do our DJ and photography services for free. We signed the paperwork that day and we immediately felt relieved. The wedding planner planned every single appointment for us; we would just show up and pick out what we wanted. They even spaced out payments for our wedding throughout the year to make it even easier on us.

Before we get started on this nonsense of weddings. Take away this one piece of advice.

The VERY FIRST THING you need to pick up is large 10 gallon Tupperware bins. The bins saved my life. Put these somewhere you can easily reach them and as items come in the mail for your wedding, pop them into the bins. This way everything is packed for your planner or wedding party to put out on your wedding day. Even use these bins to store ALL of your paperwork. TRUST ME.

The Venue – 1 Year Away from our Wedding Day!

After booking our Wedding Planner/Coordinator, one year out we needed to pick our venue. We looked at only one venue; we knew when we walked through the door. Lake Mary Events Center in Lake Mary, Florida is an incredible venue. It featured a beautiful rotunda with high glass windows overlooking Lake Mary. It took our breaths away from the moment we walked into the building. Our ceremony was to be held in the beautiful rotunda just after sunrise, our reception in their grand ballroom.

Food, Flowers, Music, Cake and THE DRESS! – Eight months away from our Wedding Day!

A few months after booking our venue, our wedding planner scheduled us a meeting to pick out our flowers, food and cake. We also met with our DJ to pick out different songs to play during the event. OH and I bought my dress! You always want to get your dress with as MUCH time as possible, with all of the stress my weight fluctuated a lot and I need alterations to my dress.

Flowers – I went with lambs ear and light colored peonies. I really wanted to stick to lighter colors, to go with the morning/breakfast vibe.

The Dress – I didn’t actually have a plan for what I wanted my dress to look like. My Man of Honor actually picked out my dress, forced me into and I fell in love with it. He picked out a beautiful ball gown layered with tulle.

Music – was pretty easy too. My husband to be and I turned on music in our living room and wrote down each song we wanted for the different parts of the event. We sent the list over to our DJ and POOF that was checked off our list.

The very best part? Picking out the food! Andrew and I wanted a brunch wedding, so we decided on a Make Your Own Waffle Bar, unlimited bacon and unlimited mimosas. CAN’T GO WRONG WITH THAT! (plus breakfast food is a LOT cheaper than serving dinner)

The cake – We still wanted to keep with our brunch vibe here. We picked out a citrus, orange flavored cake with cream cheese frosting. YUM.

It’s all in the details – Four months away from out Wedding Day!

Some of the smaller things I of course wanted to do myself. We included a custom wedding hashtag #herecomethealvins and printed it on mostly everything we made, this way all photos that our guests posted we were able to see later on! The small details do not have to be expensive either, we mostly used the Dollar Tree and Oriental Trading Company. I ordered everything online, had it delivered to my door, packed it away in our large Tupperware bins for our wedding planner and POOF it was done.

A photo booth – Our photographer snapped soooo many cute photos of our guests! Get creative with it! We picked out a Flamingo Themed booth! I purchased the photo booth props from Esty as a PDF ($10) and printed them at Staples for another $5. We included some dollar tree items as well, a feather boa and inflatable bird.

A guest book – This doesn’t have to be a traditional book, we ended up using our favorite board game! We got it on sale for about $30 and picked up two sharpies for guests to sign.

Cake topper – We had custom bride and groom flamingos made for the top of our cake. This was the MOST expensive thing we purchased. We picked them up off Etsy for $30.

Guest favors – Something small (and cheap) we hand folded paper boxes, filled with colorful tissue paper and placed a small gold animal. The small gold animals matched the larger version in the reception as “table numbers.” A guest favor/place card! The cardboard boxes came from the dollar tree ($50), tulle from Michael’s ($15) and plastic animals from the dollar tree ($25).

A unity ceremony of some sort – We used a Tree Planting Ceremony for ours. Each guest was invited to place dirt in the pot so show their support as we planted the tree to show the foundation and strength of our relationship. We brought a pot and watering can from home and picked up the plant from IKEA.

Signage – We had plenty of different signs throughout our wedding. A welcome sign, photo booth entrance, small table signs. These are easy to purchase! We bought everything from Etsy for around $50.

Small treats – A LOT of people are using a candy bar in their weddings, but we wanted something brunch themed! We purchased the same containers as a candy bar, but filled them with fun cereal. We folded small pink popcorn containers with our hashtag sticker on the front, so guests were able to make their perfect mix.

I had custom newspapers printed! Around $100 for 100 copies, we had a company print a custom wedding newspaper printed. Each small article was about someone in our wedding party, funny stories about how we met and tons of pictures of our pup. There was even a word search on the back and we passed out Starbucks gift cards for winners!

Menus – During the reception I printed out menus on card stock (costing around $15 at Staples) and created a word search on the back. We also had custom pencils made with our hashtag (you can get these from Oriental Trading Company for $15).

All of the other events that come with Weddings – One month before our Wedding Day!

I was actually shocked to know that it’s just not your wedding day you are planning for. There are so many more smaller events that take place to celebrate for upcoming marriage. A month before our wedding I had a bacholrette party with friends, a bridal shower with family, an engagement party, a rehearsal event and I planned a bridal party slumber party the night before my wedding

(I will be posting all of these events separately later on).

Weddings are EXHAUSTING.

Take your time and enjoy all of the wedding festivities. OH! And take lots of photos!

Our wedding planner was INCREDIBLE; she was there with us the entire process of planning and the stress the day of. Even if you think you will not need a planner, please consider it! Even with my passion of planning events, I needed her more than I could imagine on my big day! We were surprised how much we actually NEEDED a planner.

There are two large things that I have gathered from my own wedding and for those weddings I have helped out at throughout the years.

First, delegate but delegate selectively! Rely on your bridal party and your family to come through for you, but make sure you are demanding on what you actually WANT. A lot of family remembers have their own ideas and values for what a wedding should be/have, it’s your wedding; do not let anyone (including family) push you into anything that will not make you happy.

Second, it’s all about the details. You can have a beautiful venue and you can have a perfect dress; but it is all about the tiny details that make your wedding special. Things like a special cake topper and guest favors make ALL the difference when it comes to making your day special. These small details do not have to be expensive (you know how much I love the Dollar Tree), but they have to be personal for you and your spouse.

Smaller things that no one ever tells you that will change your day

Pack spare clothes in your “getaway car” do not let anyone move them

Pack valet money in your “getaway bag” you do not want to have to park in a parking garage at a hotel and have to carry your dress and your belongings five miles to the lobby. You are tired and you deserve it

Go to David’s Bridal and get your dress there. You will get your dream dress for cheap, along with a PACKAGE OF COUPONS for discounted tux rentals and spa treatments for your ladies

Do not spend money on a nice wedding band for your husband, you will eventually have to get it replaced….several times

Use a poster board and sticky notes to map out your reception guest seating (they are easier to move around)

On your wedding night (after parking in valet) go into the hotel lobby in your dress – you will immediately be upgraded to a fancy room with free drinks

Brides listen. You will miss out on your guests arriving and your bridal party walking down the aisle. You are going to want to have someone film this for you

Drive to the Courthouse 60 days before your wedding to pick up your license and take the pre-marriage consoling; it will save you $30

Make sure you officiant fills out the form correctly or you will have to get it re-signed. You can send this in the mail, instead of having to worry about dropping it off on your Honeymoon

Do not screw around with your birth control. Let it do what it needs to do. Do not change your routine weeks before and have your period on your wedding night!

Take two honeymoons. You and your hubby are two different people; plan a week for each of you. (We stayed in a cabin and hiked for my honeymoon; we went on a beach cruise for his). You are exhausted from all of the festivties, you DESRVE to take some time off.

Use VISTA PRINT for everything wedding related. Wedding invites, announcements, thank you cards, even the hashtag stickers. Having everything printed through them was cheaper, they shipped everything right to my door.

I know this is all over whelming. Trust me though, keep this list!

Remember though, it’s your day. It’s all about you and your spouse. Spend the day with each other and enjoy every single moment! I would love to hear about your wedding below!!

Weddings are stressful, beautiful, WONDERFUL and a whole LOT of work. The Overall Wedding Planning Process I am a planner. Obviously if you have read any of my other articles, I LIVE to plan.

STAHL BARBARA - énekes/singer

Egyik legkedvesebb gyerekkori emléke, amikor a nagypapájától megkapta élete első mikrofonját, amit ő készített a műhelyében és a magnóból visszahallotta a hangját, gyűjti a szép papírszatyrokat, amikor éppen senki sem figyel, konkrét párbeszédeket futtat le önmagával, kedvence New York és a macskáááák.

One of her favorite childhood memory is when she got her first ever microphone from her grandfather, that he made in his own workshop and she could hear her own voice played back from the recorder, she collects nice paper bags, if nobody is watching she has full conversations with herself, her favorites are New York and caaaaaaaaaats.

Barbi asztala/Barbi’s table.

Milyen típusú emlékek inspirálnak jobban: a jók vagy a rosszak?/What kind of memories inspire you the most: good or bad ones? Mindkettő inspirál, de talán a rosszakból erősebb alkotások születnek.

Both of them inspire me, but maybe the bad ones lead to stronger creations.

Ha újjászülethetnél egy ma élő vagy már halott művész személyében, kit választanál?/Ha If you could reincarnate as a living or dead artist, who would you choose to be? Ella Fitzgerald vagy Beyoncé.

Ella Fitzgerald or Beyoncé.

Hogyan lendülsz túl az időszakos alkotói válságon?/How do you come over a temporary artistic crisis? Ingerszegény időszakokban próbálok mindig új élményeket generálni magamnak.

In impoverished periods I always try to generate new experiences for myself.

Mi a legkedvesebb gyerekkori emléked?/What is your favorite childhood memory? Sok van és mindegyik a családomhoz kötődik: anyukámmal az összeöltözéseink, közös esti kádfürdőink, reggeli kakaózás; apukámmal 5 éves koromban Ausztrália egyik leggyönyörűbb panorámás sziklás partszakaszán megfogadtuk, hogy örökké szeretni fogjuk egymást; a nagymamáimmal tésztagyúrás, húspanírozás, a selyem hálóingjeikben flangálás, lambadára táncolás és amikor a nagypapámtól megkaptam életem első mikrofonját, amit ő készített a műhelyében és a magnóból visszahallottam a hangom.

I have a lot and all of them are connected to my family: when I used to dress alike with my mother, when we used to have baths together in the evening, having cocoa for breakfast; we took an oath with my dad that we will love each other forever at the most beautiful, panoramic, rocky beachside in Australia; pastry kneading, making schnitzel, walking around in silk nightgowns, dancing to lambada with my grandmothers, when I got my first ever microphone from my grandfather, that he made in his workshop and I could hear my voice played back from the recorder.

Fotók: Földi Ádám

Mit érzel, amikor egy másik művész a tiédhez hasonló munkát készít?/What do you feel when a fellow artist creates something similar to your work? Ősszel megírtam a 7012 című dalomat. Pár hónappal később megjelent Drake-More Life című albuma, amin a kedvenc előadóm, Sampha készített egy dalt, 4422 címmel. Kísértetiesen hasonlít a két dal dinamikája, szerkezete egymásra, elájultam, iszonyú jó érzés volt (bár nincs sok esély rá, hogy az én dalom inspirálta :)

In fall I wrote my song called 7012. A few months later Drake-More released the album Life on which there was a song from my favorite performer, Sampha, and its title was 4422. They eerily sound alike, and the dynamic, the structure of the two songs is very similar. I almost fainted it was such an awesome feeling (however, there is not much chance that it was inspired by my song :)

Gyűjtesz valamit?/Are you collecting something? A macskás dolgokat és a szép papírszatyrokat (főleg külföldről).

Things with cats on them and nice paper bags (mainly from abroad).

Kedvenc budapesti pillanat?/Favorite Budapest moment? Amikor pasztell színű az ég és a Duna-parti lakásom rózsaszínes narancssárga fénybe borul.

When the sky takes on a pastel color and my apartment next to the Danube is lighten up with orange-pink light.

Van olyan gyerekes szokásod, amit akkor csinálsz, amikor senki nem figyel?/Do you have a childish habit that you do when nobody is watching? Sokat beszélek magamban, konkrét párbeszédeket futtatok le, sőt van, amikor különböző szituációkba képzelem magam és eljátszom.

I talk to myself a lot, I have proper conversations, moreover, sometimes I imagine myself in certain situations and I act them out.

youtube

Mi volt a legnagyobb őrültség, amit eddig csináltál?/What was the craziest thing you have ever done? Apukámmal az Adrián átúsztunk egy szigetre. Másfél óra volt csak odafelé az út, miközben őrült sebességgel húztak el mellettünk hajók és motorcsónakok. Rettenetesen féltem.

We swam to an island with my dad on the Adria. It took one and a half hours to get there and while we were in the water boats and motorboats were rushing beside us with a crazy speed. I was really scared.

Van-e napi rutinod?/Do you have a daily routine? Nincs. Mivel általában este dolgozom a fellépéseimen, napközben óriási szabadság van. Van, amikor korán kelek és hasznos dolgokkal töltöm a napot, intézkedem, jövök-megyek, de van, amikor délutánig ágyban vagyok, olvasgatok, zenét írok és 2-3 körül nekilátok reggelizni.

No. Since I am mainly working in the evening on my gigs, I have a huge freedom during the day. There are times when I wake up early and I spend the day with useful things, I get things done, I coma and go, but other times I am in bed until afternoon, I read, I write music and I have breakfast at 2-3 pm.

Kedvenc tárgyad?/Favorite object? A biciklim és a midi keyboardom.

My bike and my keyboard.

Hogyan fogsz neki egy új munkának?/How do you get started on a new project? Általában a dalírás nálam csak úgy megtörténik, különösebb rákészülés nélkül. Teljesen hangulatfüggő.

Mostly songwriting just happens to me, without any previous preparation. It totally depends on the mood.

Van egy jól körülhatárolható hangulat, amikor könnyebb számodra az alkotás?/Is there a particular mood that makes creating and working easier for you? Ha nagyon boldog vagyok, vagy ha nagyon szomorú/nyugtalan/dühös. Középlángon képtelen vagyok bármit kiadni magamból.

If I am very happy, or if I am very sad/restless/angry. If I am on a medium flame I am incapable of get anything artistic out of me.

Sör vagy bor?/Beer or wine? Bor! Bár nem jellemző, hogy alkoholt iszom, azért nagyon szeretek finom borokat kóstolni. A fellépések révén sok borbárban, pincészetben megfordulok, szeretem hallgatni egy-egy bor történetét, készítési folyamatát, hogy honnan származik és milyen ízjegyek lelhetőek fel benne.

Wine! It is not very common for me to drink alcohol, but I really love to taste good wine. Due to my work, I have gigs in wine bars, wineries. I like to hear the story of wine, how it was made, where it is from, what tastes are in them.

Kutya vagy macska?/Dog or cat? Macska, macska, macska! Világ életemben kutyás voltam, viszont egy éve szereztem egy kiscicát a húgaimnak, aki végül nálam ragadt és teljesen elcsavarta a fejem, a mindenem lett.

Cat, cat, cat! I always loved dogs but a year ago I got a kitten for my little sisters, which eventually stayed with me and made me fall in love with him. Now I have everything.

Mit szeretnél kifejezni az alkotásaidon keresztül?/What would you like to express through your artwork? Nekem a zeneírás önkifejezés, szóval legtöbbször a saját érzelmeimet közvetítem vele, szenvedélyt, nőiséget, sebezhetőséget, vágyat, őszinteséget, esztétikát.

For me writing music is expressing myself, so I am broadcasting my own emotions through it, passion, vulnerability, honesty, aesthetics, and femininity.

youtube

Milyen a stílusod?/What is your style like? Soft & powerful.

Soft & powerful.

Mi az, ami a leginkább feltölt?/What can recharge you the most? Egy jó fellépés, egy jó új zene, napsütés, bringázás, víz közelsége.

A good gig, good music, sunshine, biking, being close to water.

Kedvenc város?/Favorite city? New York! A leginspirálóbb és a legvibrálóbb város, ahol valaha jártam, nagyon szeretnék ott élni.

New York! The most inspiring and most vibrant city I have ever been to. I really would like to live there.

Kedvenc étel?/Favorite food? Nagyon nehéz... rajongom az ízekért, az egyik kedvenc dolgom az evés. A szívemhez persze az otthoni ételek állnak legközelebb, szóval: Mama húslevese (csirkelábbal!), rántott húsi krumplipürével és almakompóttal, és az ő flódnija...

This is hard… I love flavors, one of my favorite things to do is to eat. Home cooked meals are the ones that are closest to my heart, so: My Mama’s meat soup (with chicken feet!), schnitzel with potato puree and apple sauce and he flodni (a Jewish layered dessert with apples and poppy seeds)…

Kedvenc évszak?/Favorite season? Az ősz! Mindig rengeteg újat tartogat, van egy lendülete, ami kimos a nyári meleg álmos hangulatból és mintha kicserélnének. Öltözködni is ekkor szeretek a legjobban.

Autumn! It always has new things to bring, it has a momentum that washes me out of the summer heat sleepy mood and I feel like a new person. I also like to dress up the most in autumn.

youtube

Mi a legrosszabb tulajdonságod?/What is your worst characteristic? Önző vagyok, türelmetlen és munkában hajcsár. Mindegyiken dolgozom :)

I am selfish, impatient and bossy in my work. I am working on all of these. :)

Van visszatérő álmod? Miről szól? Esetleg megjelenítetted már valamelyik alkotásodban?/Do you have a reoccurring dream? What is it about? Have you ever visualized it in your artwork? Nagyon sokat álmodom vízzel, van is sok-sok 'vizes' dalom. Még két visszatérő álmom van, de nem hiszem, hogy megírnám őket: az egyik, hogy mértéktelenül habzsolok mindenféle ételt, sütiket, a másik pedig konkrét akciófilmes üldözés.

I dream a lot about water, I also have a lot of songs about water. I also have two reoccurring dreams, but I don’t think I would write about those: one of them is that I am eating without limits, pastries and all other kinds of food, the other one is like an action movie chase.

Mi az az alkotás, amit mindenképpen meg kell csinálnod, mielőtt meghalsz?/What is that specific artwork you have to accomplish before you die? Egy olyan alkotás, amiért Grammy-díjra jelölnek. :)

A work that will be nominated for the Grammy Award. :)

Ha egyetlen tanácsot kellene adni más, esetleg még kezdő tehetségeknek, mi lenne az?/If you could give one piece of advice to someone else, maybe to a beginner talent, what would it be? Az, hogy belülről építkezzenek!

That they should build up from within!

Now she had noticed that she could read her sons, and recognised the flutters in her belly as their movements, it didn't take Wanda long to pinpoint which actions belonged to which twin.

Already, they were developing quite distinct little personalities.

Tommy was a ball of energy. His movements were a bit like popping popcorn, never stopping. It reminded Wanda of his Uncle, and the thought made her smile.

Billy was a bit quieter, a softer little soul. His movements were smaller, a gentler. A shy little tap, as if to say Hi, Mama.

So different, but she was completely in love with them both.

Baietii ei. Her boys. --

In the last few moments of his train trip, Vision consulted his book once more.

20 weeks. The length of bananas. The boys would be beginning to stretch their little legs now.

Wanda didn't run to him as she usually did when meeting him at the Station, but it was easy to see why. She was sporting a rather prominent belly now, and wouldn't have wanted to risk tripping and hurting herself or the twins. Vision didn't mind. The beaming smile on her face, and the big kiss she planted on him when he reached her were more than enough for him to know how happy he was to see her.

"Help me back up those stairs, Vizh?" She linked arms with him. "My balance is a little off at the moment."

"Of course, anything you need" Vision pressed a kiss to the top of her head. "How have you been? Is everyone taking care of you?"

"They've been great. Probably happy to have a break from me though.." Wanda blushed slightly.

"Why is that?"

"Well, I've been a bit clumsy- still getting used to my centre of gravity changing, I guess. They're all light sleepers, so I can't help waking everyone when I get up to pee. And I've started getting cravings. For mancare ciudata, at really inconvenient times.."

"Oh. Well, not to worry. I can handle all that easily. And seeing as I don't eat, I have no concept of what weird food is, so I cannot judge you for it" He grinned at her.

Wanda chuckled, shaking her head.

"Esti adorabil, Vizh." --

They had a rather packed schedule for this visit. Aside from their second trimester ultrasound, they also had plans to attend a birthing class that accepted walk-ins. Both Natasha and Steve had offered to attend classes with Wanda if she wanted, but she preferred to wait for Vision.

"So" said Vision, going over their plans, gently rubbing Wanda's ankles, her feet in his lap, "We have our Ultrasound Tomorrow at midday.."

"Mmhm" Wanda sighed contentedly, eyes closed, both hands resting on her belly.

"And then the day after that we have the birthing class at 2pm.."

"Yes, that sounds about right.."

"And at some point in between all that, I will make you a nice Steak Dinner.."

"Steak?" Wanda cracked one eye open to look at him. While Vision regularly cooked for her now, he was not usually quite so specific about his plans.

"Yes." Still rubbing her swollen feet and ankles. "At this point in your Pregnancy, you and the boys will be needing extra iron."

"Ah. Of course" She flashed him a smile.

Vision briefly halted his work on her feet to lean over and kiss her belly.

"Have they been good for Mama?"

"Mmm. Billy's quiet, mostly. Although I think Tommy may already be training for the next Olympics."

"Is he now?" Vision chuckled.

"He is. He's strong.. I think you'll be able to feel him soon."

Vision grinned. He was looking forward to that, very much. --

When Wanda and Vision were called for their ultrasound the following day, most of the nerves that had troubled them at the first had faded. This time, they were simply excited.

Wanda settled herself down happily, holding Vision's hand as the Technician pressed the doppler to her swelling tummy.

"You are around 20 weeks, is that correct?"

"Yes" Wanda nodded, as the screen flickered to life, and once again, the sound of their sons' heartbeats filled the room as the technician examined them.

"Oh.." Vision's breath caught. "I will never get tired of that."

"Everything looks to be developing nicely.." The Technician turned to them, smiling. "Would you like to know the sexes?"

Wanda and Vision turned to each other, chuckling.

"We think we've already guessed" Vision smiled, "but yes, please."

As soon as the Technician had turned her attention back to the screen, one of the babies, as if knowing exactly what they were looking for, shifted, displaying himself in such a way as to leave everyone in the room in absolutely no doubt of the fact that he was, most certainly, a He.

"Well, this one is definitely a boy.. And from the looks of it, you two may have a little exhibitionist on your hands.."

"Tommy.." Vision smiled to himself, shaking his head.

"And.. Oh.." The remaining baby had seemingly crossed its legs, turning away from the doppler as if embarrassed. "The other I am not certain.. seems to be, uh, hiding the goods."

"Billy is shy.." Wanda smiled softly and gently touched her belly, not worrying about getting the gel on her fingers. "It is alright, una pretioasa. We will not look."

The shy baby shifted towards his Mother's touch, and Wanda beamed as she felt the familiar, beloved little tap against her hand.

"Hi, Mama."

"Well, I think we have about everything we need here.. would you two like a picture to take with you? We can also make up a DVD that you can watch at home.."

Vision's eyes lit up.

"We would like two of each, please."

This way, it would feel like he could see his boys all the time, whenever he wanted.

THE FIRST EPISTLE OF ST. PAUL, THE APOSTLE, TO THE CORINTHIANS - From The Latin Vulgate Bible

Chapter 16

PREFACE.

Corinth was the capital of Achaia, a very rich and populous city, where St. Paul had preached a year and a half, and converted a great many. See Acts xviii. 10. Now having received a letter from them, (chap. vii. 1.) and being informed of divers disputes and divisions among them, (chap. i. ver. 11.) he wrote this letter to them, and sent it by the same persons, Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, who had brought him their letter, chap. xvi. 17. It was written about the year 56, not from Philippi, as it is commonly marked at the end of the Greek copies, but rather from Ephesus. The subject and main design of this Epistle was to take away the divisions among them about the talents and merits of those who had baptized and preached to them, and to settle divers matters of ecclesiastical discipline.

Chapter 16

Of collections of alms, admonitions, and salutations.

1 Now concerning the collections that are made for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, so do you also.

Notes & Commentary:

Ver. 1. St. Paul had been charged by the apostles at the council of Jerusalem, to collect alms from the faithful of other Churches, for their poor brethren in Palestine. The apostle acquitted himself of his commission with the greatest possible zeal, and he wishes in this chapter to excite the Corinthians to a like generous conduct with the Galatians: (Calmet) a pastoral ordinance this for alms-deeds, which should be prompt, free, and proportionate to our means. It is just to prefer the wants of the children of the Church to others, particularly in those places whence the light of faith has been received, Jerusalem and Rome.

2 On the first day of the week let every one of you put apart with himself, laying up what it shall well please him: that when I come, the collections be not then to be made.

Ver. 2. On the[1] first day of the week, which is Sunday, and our sabbath, not the Jewish sabbath, as St. Chrysostom observes, so that before this time, the apostles had appointed the first day of the week for the worship of God. (Witham)

Note 1:

Ver. 2. Per unam, that is primam Sabbati, eis mian sabbaton. St. Chrysostom, om. m. toutesti kuriaken, p. 530.

3 And when I shall be with you: whomsoever you shall approve by letters, those will I send to carry your gift to Jerusalem.

Ver. 3. No explanation given.

4 And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.

Ver. 4. No explanation given.

5 Now I will come to you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia. For I shall pass through Macedonia.

Ver. 5. Now I will come. St. Paul came to Corinth a year after he had written this epistle. Titus, his favourite disciple, arrived at Corinth before St. Paul, and was received with the greatest marks of esteem: by him he sent his second epistle to the Corinthians. (Calmet)

6 And with you, perhaps, I shall abide, or even spend the winter: that you may bring me on my journey whithersoever I shall go.

Ver. 6. No explanation given.

7 For I will not see you now by the way; for I hope that I shall remain with you some time, if the Lord permit.

Ver. 7. No explanation given.

8 But I will stay at Ephesus until Pentecost.

Ver. 8. No explanation given.

9 For a door is opened to me, great and evident: and many adversaries.

Ver. 9. A gate is opened to me, large and evident; that is, a fair and good occasion of labouring to convert many, where there are many adversaries. (Witham) --- The work of God is carried on by the power of the cross, and in the midst of contradictions and persecutions. If we suffer this to damp our courage, we forget that we are ministers of a crucified master, and ought to wear his livery.

10 Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear, for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.

Ver. 10. No explanation given.

11 Let no man, therefore, despise him, but conduct ye him on his way in peace: that he may come to me. For I look for him with the brethren.

Ver. 11. No explanation given.

12 As to our brother, Apollo, I make known to you that I earnestly entreated him to come to you with the brethren: and indeed it was not his will at all to come at this time. But he will come when he shall have leisure.

Ver. 12. As to our brother. St. Paul here makes an apology for sending Timothy to them, who was a young man, and not so renowned for eloquence and sanctity as Apollo, informing them that Apollo did not wish to come, perhaps on account of the commotions that were at Corinth on his account. (Estius)

13 Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, do manfully, and be strengthened.

Ver. 13. A Christian is a soldier, environed and attacked on all sides by enemies. It is his duty to guard against surprise. He should never abandon the post of faith, nor the fortress of the Church, unless he wish to fall an easy prey to his adversaries. He should fight with courage, and after each attack, carefully repair the breaches made by the enemy, that he may be in a condition to sustain fresh attacks by charity, which is the principle, the soul, the life, and heart of our every action.

14 Let all your actions be done in charity.

Ver. 14. No explanation given.

15 And I beseech you, brethren, you know the house of Stephanas, and of Fortunatus, and of Achaicus, that they are the first-fruits of Achaia, and have dedicated themselves to the ministry of the saints:

Ver. 15. The first-fruits of Achaia; the first there converted. (Witham)

16 That you also be subject to such, and to every one that worketh with us, and laboureth.

Ver. 16. No explanation given.

17 And I rejoice in the presence of Stephanas, and Fortunatus, and Achaicus, for that which was wanting on your part, they have supplied.

Ver. 17. Which was wanting on your part, they have supplied, by informing me, and giving me a full account of all. (Witham)

18 For they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Know them, therefore, that are such.

Ver. 18. No explanation given.

19 The churches of Asia salute you, Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house: with whom I also lodge.

Ver. 19. No explanation given.

20 All the brethren salute you. Salute one another with a holy kiss.

Ver. 20. No explanation given.

21 The salutation of me, Paul, with my own hand.

Ver. 21. No explanation given.

22 If any man love not our Lord, Jesus Christ, let him be anathema, Maran Atha.

Ver. 22. Let him be anathema, accursed. Maran Atha,[2] which, according to St. Jerome and St. Chrysostom, signify, the Lord is come already, and so is to be taken as an admonition to those who doubted of the resurrection, and is to put them in mind, that Christ, the Judge of the living and the dead, is come already. The Rabbinical writers tells us, there are three curses among the Jews called by different names: that the first was niddui, which implied an expulsion from the synagogue for a time; the second was greater, such being quite cut off from the common society, called Cherem; the third, Maran Atha, the Lord cometh, is coming, or is come, which was followed by exemplary judgments and punishments. Thus Mons. Hure, in his Bible Dictionary, Mr. Legh, in his Critica Sacra, and also Mr. Nary. But whether this is better grounded than many other Rabbinical stories, let others judge. (Witham)

Note 2:

Ver. 22. Maran Atha, maran atha. St. Chrysostom, ti de esti maran atha; o kurios emon elthe, &c. St. Hierom[St. Jerome], Epist. ad Marcellam. tom. ii. p. 706, and de nominibus Hebraicis. tom. iv. p. 78.

23 The grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ, be with you.

Ver. 23. No explanation given.

24 My charity be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Ver. 24. Happy, thrice happy the pastor, whose life, labours, zeal, and the testimony of his own conscience, embolden him to say with St. Paul, that he loves the flock of Jesus Christ, that he only loves them for Jesus Christ, and in Jesus Christ, by virtue of the Holy Spirit.
