Indulgences my beloved! A way to grow in imitating God and being perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect!

Did you [directed at anyone reading this post, intended in a sense of curiosity] know that the conditions to obtain a plenary indulgence are designed to fill you with the grace of God and guide you toward his virtue and away from sin? From the reuniting-grace of confession, to the I-reject-Satan-and-all-his-empty-promises of no-attachment-to-sin, to the grace of God-in-us in the Holy Eucharist!

The acts for the Jubilee year (in the as-yet-undescribed image above, I am in a hurry or I would transcribe it, I will try to come back in the next few days) include activities which, divorced from the context of Catholic indulgences, might be hard to argue against? For example, point three: "perform an extraordinary work of mercy such as a generous gift to the poor, or visiting nursing homes or prisons." Extraordinary, as in, something which is not part of the ordinary routine of life, something that cannot be dismissed merely on the grounds of being too hard to do regularly. A work of mercy, which in the Catholic context is associated with the 7 spiritual and 7 corporal works of mercy, concrete ways of living in imitation of Christ-- but which also implies an action that is done not because a person deserves it but simply out of love (unconditional, not dependent on romantic feelings). A generous gift to the poor-- helping people who desperately need a safety net-- a visit to nursing homes-- those who, in their old age, may feel desperately lonely or shut off from the regular goings-on of life -- a visit to prisons-- full of people both guilty and innocent who are often mistreated because of a hundred reasons, who are often deprived of social connection and who are, like it or not, people very much like the rest of us.

I have gotten very excited and up-in-arms in this post. I hope I have not chased people away, or come across as judgemental. I just think that this is so cool, and I want to show you, dear reader, why I think it is neat.

I now have a headcanon for Scar that he loves to do different handicrafts because I take him as the type of person who wants to try everything anything artsy. Any days when he feels like not doing any building, be it because he is feeling lazy, uninspired, or wants to take a break, or it feels painful to even walk he would get on doing handicrafts instead. So he tries knitting, wood carving, diy crafts, origami, pottery, weaving, jewelry making even, etc etc. He's not particularly trying to be good at any of them, just that he's doing handicrafts as a therapeutic experience. Which is hard at times when he can't help but be critical of what he does, but he learns how to be patient with himself and separate it from building. The only handicrafts he really takes effort to make are wooden canes, since he does use them and really learned how to craft them to suit him. He loves to customize them with intricate carvings, maybe put a little bit of vex magic, decorate it with gold or diamonds. And of course constructing cat trees and little furniture for jellie. since he seems to be the gift giving type of person, most of his gifts are handmade, made with love and care every hermit could cry at how the gift really suits them and shows how scar is a really good friend.

the reason Jadzia isn’t in season 7 is so fucking stupid but “replacing” her with Ezri ended up being shockingly well done and it’s actually so insane. showing the reality of a Trill getting joined mostly against their will is such an interesting storyline
