Didn´t like the "I tread where I please", that constantly makes its round, so I changed it up.

She says "Fiat" and so she sets an example for us.

The Hopeful Mysteries of the Holy Rosary

Lent is right around the corner, and typically we are called to pray the Sorrowful Mysteries as a reminded of Christ's passion throughout these 40 days. But in a world so fraught with war, death, and pain, perhaps it is time for a more... hopeful way to pray the rosary. Enter from stage left the Hopeful Mysteries, a new devotion created by a small town church for the 2025 Jubilee that has officially been marked as having spiritual merit for the faithful. Inspired by the Magnificat and messages of hope in the Old Testament while leading up to the most important announcement of hope in the Bible, the Annunciation, the Hopeful Mysteries are five new mysteries one can use while praying the Holy Rosary.

The First Mystery: Eve and the Serpent (Genesis 3:15)

Eve is blamed for a lot-- it is easy to pin all of humanity's downfall on one woman, but as mother of all, Eve is also the source of our salvation. Her offspring crushes the serpent under their heel, and she has no greater offspring than Jesus Christ. Born as man, our Lord has Eve's blood in His veins, and when God promises that an offspring of Eve will crush the serpent, we can see the fulfillment of that promise thousands of years in the future. Mary, the daughter of Eve, the new Eve, and the Holy Spirit bear the One who will do more than crush the serpent: He will eradicate him. Even in the fear and sorrow of the Fall, hope is not far behind.

The Second Mystery: The Rainbow (Genesis 9:13-17)

Noah's arc is a horrible story; it is a story of pain, of death, of separation, with the world drowning and being forced to rebuild. But it carries a promise of hope inside it: the rainbow, a sign of God's promise to never turn His back on us. Never again will the world flood. Never again will He bring inhalation upon us. Instead, he brings forth a soul like no other, both Man and Divine, to unite us with Him again. Death no more, but a promise of hope and reunification. Jesus is the rainbow of the modern era, and through remembering God's promise to Noah, we remember Jesus's sacrifice for us.

The Third Mystery: Abraham and Isaac (Genesis 22:1-19)

It can be hard to see hope in a story of attempted child sacrifice, but as we read Genesis, we remember that God provided a ram. He provided the sacrifice to go in Isaac's place, sparing son and father. Instead, God takes Abraham's place, sacrificing His own Son as an Easter ram. God denied the need for human suffering to prove our love of Him, and instead suffered Himself to prove love of us!

The Fourth Mystery: The Freedom from Egypt (Exodus 14:13-31)

God does not abandon His people. God does not abandon His people! When the Israelites face oppression in Egypt, the Lord provided emancipation. When they faced the Egyptians before the Red Sea, our Lord parted the waters and led them safely through. And just as He protected the Israelites and led them from Egypt, so has he protected us and led us from death through the birth, life, death, and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

The Fifth Mystery: Mary the Mother of God and the Annunciation (Luke 1:26-38)

Finally, we have reached the greatest of God's promises: the Annunciation. Mary, who lived a life of piety and sinlessness, brings into the world the Christ, Emmanuel, the world's greatest Hope. In her, we have the Hope of Jesus' arrival, and in Him, we have the Hope of salvation. He came once, and He will come again. Mary, the new Eve,'s offspring, Jesus, will crush the serpent under His foot. He will be the rainbow, promising safety and a new world. He will be the God-given ram, dying in our place. He will bring us freedom, just as the Lord led the Israelites to freedom and out of bondage. He is the Greatest Hope, and through Him, we are saved.

HELP!! IF YOUR CATHOLIC OR KNOW CATHOLICISM PLS HELP!!

My friend is having a confirmation in early Feb, I’ll be out of town but i wanted to get her a gift! I’m not involved with any kind of church, especially not Catholic ones so I have zero clue where to start.

When I search confirmation gifts, lots of jewelry comes up but I think she’ll be getting a lot of that? I don’t think a Bible or rosary is appropriate either, but I don’t have enough context for what else to get?? I know her mainly through ballet but I’d rather get her something personal/special to her event.

PLS HELP IF YOU KNOW WHAT I SHOULD GET!! Money doesn’t really matter except that it needs to be here sooner rather than later and also I’m not necessarily rich. Thank you in advance for any advice!!
