BEST. FRIEND. FACE. HOLD

[solreefs]

a few years ago at (catholic) school I overheard someone say “jesus!” out of frustration, probably about homework. to which the teacher in the room at the time said “don’t bring him into this” which is simultaneously the most and least catholic response to that I can imagine. I think about that at least once a week.

My southern Christian mother started watching the OPLA not knowing it was the newest addition of my greatest obsession and then told me that Shanks was portrayed like JESUS.

I cannot begin to explain the baffled hilarity I experienced while she likened Shanks the drunk captain of the absent parent pirates (affectionate) to JESUS H CHRIST

For those curious as to her reasoning:

- Turning the other cheek

- Telling the “dragon” to be gone like ‘be gone Satan’

- Him sacrificing his body for the life of another

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.” —Proverbs 18:10 (NKJV)

Question: “How is the name of the Lord a strong tower (Proverbs 18:10)?” By GotQuestions.org:

Answer: “The Bible informs us that Lord God Himself is our rock, our fortress, and our deliverer. In Him, we can take refuge because He is our shield of protection, our horn of salvation, and our stronghold (Psalm 18:2). Over and again, Psalms compares God to a high and strong tower of protection and a shelter where His people can safely hide. But Proverbs 18:10 reveals a similar truth about God’s name: “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe” (ESV).

In ancient times, a person’s name was much more than a random identifier or title. A name expressed the person’s nature and individual attributes. Thus, God’s name represents His essential character and authority. The person of God and the name of God cannot be separated.

The Lord’s name is a strong tower because the infinite heights and depths of His person, presence, and power are apprehended in that name. The righteous—those who are made right with God through a relationship with Jesus Christ—can run to Him in all His revealed perfection, faithfulness, power, authority, mercy, and love, and be set on high, barricaded inside His tower of protection, safe from all harm.

The name of the Lord is equivalent to the Lord Himself. It speaks of the revealed essence of God or the revelation of Himself in the history of salvation. The Lord shows Himself faithful and trustworthy to all who confide in Him: “From the ends of the earth, I cry to you for help when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the towering rock of safety, for you are my safe refuge, a fortress where my enemies cannot reach me” (Psalm 61:2–3, NLT). The ESV renders the phrase “for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy” (verse 3). The name of the Lord is a strong tower because He is our defense. As we discover what God has revealed about His character, we can trust in Him (Psalm 91:2).

The name of the Lord and the character of God are interchangeable phrases. David said, “Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you” (Psalm 9:10). God makes His character known to us through His Word, through the person of Jesus Christ, and through the multi-faceted revelations expressed through His many names.

As Elohim, He is Creator; as Yahweh, He is the covenant-keeping, eternal I AM; as El Shaddai, He is the all-sufficient, all-powerful, God Almighty; as Jehovah Jireh, He is our Provider; as Yeshua, He is Savior. He is the Good Shepherd, who leads, guides, and protects; He is the Lamb of God, who lays down His life for us; He is Jesus, the Incarnate Son and Christ the Risen Lord; and He is the eternal, glorious, highly exalted, King of Heaven! Psalm 8:1 rightly acknowledges, “LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens.”

The name of the Lord can also be understood as His nature representing itself. One aspect of that nature is a strong, high tower offering a citadel of safety capable of holding off every hostile attack. Into this tower, the righteous can run and hide, safely guarded above all danger: “For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock” (Psalm 27:5).

The name of the Lord is a strong tower because it is capable of safeguarding all who call upon that name. When the prophet Joel foresaw the Lord’s return, he saw a terrifying day of judgment and terror. Yet he declared, “And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved” (Joel 2:32). That same promise of salvation in the name of the Lord echoes in the New Testament (Romans 10:13; Acts 2:21). When we call upon the name of the Lord, we call upon God Himself.

The Lord’s name signifies everything that God is in Himself—His compassion, lovingkindness, mercy, grace, power, judgment, holiness, perfection, knowledge, and more. Everyone who knows and trusts in Him discovers that He is indeed a strong tower.”

The gleaming brilliance of God's law would otherwise destroy me if it were not for God's wonderful, awesome grace. For ALL of my sins, my failures, and my missing pieces, God Almighty LOVED me. He loved me before time was created and He loves me still, and in His care I will be fulfilled and made sinless.

And what He does for me, He does for others. For His glory, out of an infathomable love, and beyond my realm of understanding He saves sinners and had the plan to do so since before light ever shown into existence. I cannot tell you why things have to be the way they are, but I can absolutely say that God is in control, He is good, and Jesus loves you.

Psalm 118:10-14. All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the…

Catholic Manhood Moment: Our Authority In Jesus Name

The authority of Jesus' name is unparalleled in its power and influence. In Mark 1:23, an unclean spirit recognizes and fears Jesus' authority, knowing that his power can destroy its influence. This is evident in the spirit's reaction to Jesus' presence, crying out in anguish and attempting to ward off his power by referring to him as the "Holy One of God." This desperation reflects the belief that using the name of an opposing spirit would guarantee mastery over it. However, Jesus silences the unclean spirit and drives it out of the man. This demonstrates not only Jesus' authority over evil spirits, but also his ability to silence and overcome any force that resists the holiness of God.

Let us give Jesus the authority and honor His name deserves. For in His name, there is power and authority over all things. Through His name, miracles have been performed and lives have been changed. When we call upon His name with faith and reverence, He hears and answers our prayers. The authority of Jesus' name extends beyond this earthly life, for in His name we are promised eternal life. So let us not forget the true purpose of our existence, and let us remember to give Jesus the honor and authority He deserves in our daily lives.

May we always remember the authority of Jesus' name and use it to surrender ourselves to God's will for our lives.

Gospel Mk 1:21-28 Then they came to Capernaum, and on the sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and taught. The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes. In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit; he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!" Jesus rebuked him and said, "Quiet! Come out of him!" The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him. All were amazed and asked one another, "What is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him." His fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee. https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/012824.cfm

You told God that you needed a sign, and He made sure this came across your screen.

God has removed you from a table where you used to sit in order to save you from a host who was serving you poison. Let that sink in.

Continue to pray. Continue to trust. Continue to wait. Continue to heal.

Our Lord isolates you before he elevates you. It may seem like everything around you is falling apart, but He has more in store for you than you could ever imagine.

You’re asking for a rose when our Heavenly Father wants the whole garden to be yours.

As Matthew 19:26 says - “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.”

Therefore stop holding back, stop holding on so tightly onto the familiar pain buried inside your heart. Let the Lord clean your heart and your mind out in the image of his son in Christ, according to his will.

It may not make a lot of sense right now but if you just finally let go of what you have in mind, God can give you something better.

Many of us cling onto things beyond our control, internalizing them and causing ourselves stress, anxiety, depression…

Free yourself from these burdens by pouring out your heart to the Lord. Take a moment to be honest with yourself, acknowledge what troubles you, and then trust God enough to let Him take over. As you wait for God's help, remember He might be waiting for you to reach out to Him.

May God bless you all, in Jesus’s name ; Amen
