I like to think that when Luke and Anakin experienced rain for the first time they just stood out in it for as long as they could.

Little 9 year old anakin standing out by the steps of the temple as the light mist grows to a downpour, qui-gon watching from just inside to stay dry. He brings him back inside after a bit, not wanting to be responsible for letting anakin get sick so soon after bring him to the temple.

19 year old luke experiencing a days long thunderstorm shortly after arriving on yavin 4. The first day of the storm he dissappears and no one can find him for a while. Leia ends ups finding him a while later outside the base, hidden away, letting himself realize everything that has happened in such a short time. In the following days he can be found out it the rain whenever he's able to sneak away.

The Madonna of Mercy Sheltering a Group of Nuns, by Sano di Pietro, 1440s.

Over the centuries, the Church has always looked to Mary as the summa contemplatrix. From the Annunciation to the Resurrection, through the pilgrimage of faith that reached its climax at the foot of the Cross, Mary persevered in contemplation of the mystery dwelling within her. In Mary, we glimpse the mystical journey of the consecrated person, grounded in a humble wisdom that savours the mystery of the ultimate fulfillment. Following Mary's example, the contemplative is a person centred in God and for whom God is the unum necessarium (cf. Lk 10:42), in comparison with which all else is seen from a different perspective, because seen through new eyes. [...] Persevere, then, in profound communion with the Church so that in Her midst you may become a living continuation of the mystery of Mary, Virgin, Bride, and Mother, who welcomes and treasures the Word in order to give it back to the world. Thus you will help to bring Christ to birth and increase in the hearts of men and women who, often unconsciously, are thirsting for the One who is the "Way, the Truth, and the Life" (Jn 14:6). Like Mary, you too strive to be a "stairway" by which God descends to encounter humanity, and humanity ascends to encounter God and contemplate His Face in the Face of Christ.

Pope Francis (Vultum Dei quaerere, §10, 37)

It seemed that in the years since my schooling at the Palace, I had become a terrible student.

Mara has her first official lesson with Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. It goes about as well as one might expect... Lightsabers Are Always Loaded: Chapter 19

My Daily Meditation

by Rev. Dr. John Henry Jowett

Overcharging The Heart (Luke 21:25-36)

HERE is a great peril. Our hearts may be “overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.” Our mode of living may send our spirits to sleep. Yes, we may so ill-use our bodies that the watchman sleeps at his post! We can over-eat, and dim our moral sight. A man’s daily meals have vital relationship with his vision of the Lord. If I would have a clear spirit I must not overburden the flesh.

And therefore am I bidden to “take heed” to myself. I must exercise common sense, the most important of all the senses. I must put a bridle upon my appetite, and hold it in subjection to my Lord.

And I must “watch!” The devil is surpassingly cunning, and, if he can, he will mix an opiate even with the sacramental wine. He will lure me among the winsome poppies, and put me into a perilous sleep.

And I must “pray!” I have a great and glorious Defender! Let me humbly yet confidently use Him, and I shall be delivered from the snares of appetite, and from the benumbing influence of all excess.

If You are Wearing Out Bibles

If you are wearing out Bibles, praise God for your healthy soul. If you are NOT wearing out Bibles, remember that “we live by every word that issues from the mouth of God.” (cf. Proverbs 30:5, Matthew 4:4; Luke 19:48) What the Old Testament said: Proverbs 30:5. Every word of God is tested; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. What Jesus said: Matthew 4:4 But He answered and said, “It…

Book Review: The Crystal and the Way of Light: Sutra, Tantra, and Dzogchen by Namkhai Norbu

Exploring the Parallels Between Tibetan Dzogchen and the Teachings of Jesus Namkhai Norbu’s “The Crystal and the Way of Light” serves as a profound introduction to the ancient teachings of Tibetan Buddhism, particularly Dzogchen.

in fics where luke gets plopped into the prequels i want every jedi within ten metres of him to think hes the weirdest jedi theyve ever seen. he has negative lightsaber form. he doesnt know what a kata is. he handstands when he meditates. his solution to sith is to try and have a chat. hes a political radical who keeps suggesting revolution. you ask him what the jedi code is and he says "kindness and compassion and helping those in need :) ". you ask how he used the force like that and he says some shit about how you are a luminous being limited only by your mind. the councils authority is just a suggestion. he is somehow the new favourite of both qui gon and yoda
