Eternal rest grant to her, O Lord
Perpetual light shine upon her
May she rest in peace
Western star, crowing the evening,
Guide to our dead, exemplar,
Maris Stella, calming the mourning,
Light above the ocean,
Lustrous fountain, grant us succor,
As smoke of sweet cedar,
Guide us home,
Our skin, never again to greet the sun,
Or to greet the dawn,
Guide us home,
Guide us home.
RIP Fons, you are so missed.

25 Tammuz 5784 (30-31 July 2024)
The 25th of Tammuz is the yahrzeit of Aharon Berechiah ben Moshe ben Nechemiah of Modena. An Italian Kabbalist of the Lurianic tradition. He is best known for his liturgical writings, especially a guide to the work of the chevre kadisha or Jewish burial society regarding prayers for the sick and dying written at the request of the Jews of Mantua.
When he was 87 years old, Rabbi Aharon was a arrested by the Catholic Inquisition of Modena on charges of possessing books that had been banned by the Pope. He pointed out the absurdity of allowing Jewish settlement and then attempting to ban Jewish religious texts.
He died three years later, on the 25th of Tammuz 5399, at the age of 90.

Dude people are getting stupider and more heartless everyday
That's traumatic, I feel horrible for her family having to be told she was shot and killed for having a boiling pot of water and making a light hearted joke
SHE EVEN SAID AT FIRST "don't hurt me", how horrible can you be to do such thing to an innocent woman?
She did nothing, She deserved better than that. May she rest above in the heavens in peace

The Significance of Prayers for the Faithful Departed in the Catholic Faith
In the Catholic faith, prayers for the faithful departed are a sacred and meaningful practice with deep theological roots. These prayers are grounded in the belief that God鈥檚 mercy is infinite and that the souls of the deceased can benefit from our prayers and intercession.Continue reading Untitled

Ok but guys isn't it actually crazy how Eugene Roe's presence is literally defined by the ineffable silence of God....ep 6 has no narrative voice beyond the languageless vision of Roe's literal perspective....he brings with him silence in every episode he's in like the chaos after Jackson blows himself up stills completely when Doc runs in - they all go silent & frozen & breathless - when any man is wounded the very concept of words beyond orders fail...he talks about how Renee is blessed to calm the wounded she treats but it's evident that he brings with him something even graver than calm; it's unutterable, literally, it's a prayer, it's a response to the silence we meet (Roe meets) in his prayers (it's a reflection on the insane power we - they - have over our own - and their own - mortality - that silent and sometimes apparently godlike capacity to return (to the front lines) from the dead (that hell of lost brotherhood in the hospitals)?)

This was going to be a panel of a little comic but I got too invested in drawing minute background details so, here.
#They are having an argument over 1) whether crops can be grown on the moons 2) what - if any - impact does this have on the feasibility#of an afterlife being located on the moons#Brakul is a partial convert to the Imperial Wardi faith but this mostly entails having adopted the seven faced God (and some#other elements of the belief system) into his worldview and participating in expected rites while retaining his central#ancestor veneration practices completely unchanged and mostly prioritized.#This doesn't actually cause much friction in of itself with the big exception being disagreements on the afterlife#Wardi practices surrounding death prioritize proper handling of the corpse and funerary rites in order to get the dead where they#need to be- death is a fraught transition from one state to another. analogous to birth. The role of the living is to get the dead through#this transition (preventing them from being stuck earthbound as earthbound ghosts - which is the Bad afterlife). Once the dead#make it to the moons that's it. They don't really interact with the living. There's plenty of conceptualization of what it's Like#in the lunar lands but the cultural priority is not even slightly on the Logistics of existence there.#Whereas the CORE of religious practice among the Hill Tribes is ancestor veneration - ancestors remain interactive with the living#and require/desire their continual support. They are conceptualized as having earthlike 'lives' where they eat and drink#and grow crops and herd livestock and they need the support of the living (in prayers and offerings) to do so prosperously.#There is a HIGH cultural priority on the logistics of their afterlife and it's self-apparent that the world of the dead needs fertile earth#to support them.#So like bottom line Brakul thinks there's no goddamn way that the moons could support an afterlife (they are described as#barren rock that was flung into the sky during creation and certainly Look that way)#and that the Wardi are just wrong about their afterlife's location. They probably go to the celestial fields (which are located#behind the moons and stars) like everyone else#And Janeys finds this aggravating and doesn't see his fucking point but has developed a nagging concern that Brakul Could be#partly right in that the celestial fields could Maybe exist in addition to the lunar lands.#So like maybe they aren't going to go to the same place when they die?#He's already terrified that he'll be stuck as an earthbound ghost and really doesn't want to be even further separated so#he figures he should make sure he gets himself dead and cremated at the same time as Brakul so they can navigate the#transitional period together.#Brakul is unconcerned because he figures that if Janeys actually does get stuck on those barren ass moons he can just kinda#Go Get Him#Ancestor spirits fly to the earth all the time and the moons would be a much shorter distance. Probably wouldn't be an issue.#Long story short these disagreements and underlying anxieties result in fights over whether you can grow corn on the moons or nah

Do you know what I'd like as a treat because it would make my heart happy?
Gifs of Charles looking at Niko.
Not Edwin, we know Edwin adores Niko.
But so does Charles, in a quieter way, like when she shows up with the crowbar at the Devlin house, or when she chants "go Grey Wake Whalers."
It just makes me happy that Charles is a Niko fan, too.
