The Saint: Simon and Delilah (5.21, ITC, 1967)

"Put a cat among the pigeons and see who flies."

"Meaning?"

"Meaning this is an inside job. Somebody in the studio is behind it."

"Who?"

"I don't know. But you, uh, might spread the word around that I'm suspicious? Do a little snooping. See if you can uncover a few motives."

Our lesson in Relief Society today was on Words Matter by Ronald A. Rasband. It was taught by our Relief Society president.

One of the sisters brought up a conversation she had with her daughter about pronouns, being confused about it, and trying to understand and ask questions. She talks about her relationship with her daughter a lot and how she wants to understand and love her as her daughter navigates her place in the world. When her mother was trying to understand how to decouple personal pronouns from a person's genitalia, that this isn't how pronoun choices work, her daughter took offense and shut down the conversation.

It's a one-sided version of the story, of course. My sense, however, from hearing this Sister speak many times is that she leans towards more inclusion, rather than less. I think it's reasonable to think she was trying to understand and doesn't know how to have the conversation.

The Relief Society president, trying not to give space for any disagreement or contention on the subject, said she didn't want to dig deeper into that complex subject in that moment, but that we as members should always do our best not to give or take offense.

It's a difficult subject in a lesson full of grandmothers, which was the primary audience here. Distilling down pronoun use into the invitation not to give or take offense, especially when handling new and unfamiliar subjects, is probably what they were most prepared to receive in that moment. And I deeply appreciate how well our Relief Society president handled the situation.

Never take for granted what others in your church congregations understand, or assume they don't have a desire to understand. There are those who want to understand, and who will bring incorrect understanding they've absorbed throughout life and need guidance on how to understand correctly. They may use verbiage and ask questions now considered offensive. They're more open to correction than you might realize. And if they can't go to you to obtain that understanding, you leave them to go elsewhere to obtain it.

Never be so quick to correct and take offense that you squander an opportunity to create understanding. Imagine if this Sister had been able to say that even if you don't understand someone's pronouns, respecting what someone wants to be called is a kind thing to do. Instead, she came to us with questions that couldn't fully be answered in that moment.

Nevertheless, I appreciate that a Sister was able to bring this subject to a discussion to get guidance, and she got something of worth. The Relief Society president may or may not know the intricacies of gender in the LGBTQIA+ community, but she understands kindness. She understands the importance of creating unity for those who think and feel differently on a variety of subjects. I was deeply impressed by how masterfully she handled this.

Trust the capacity of Sisters in your wards and branches to be wise and loving, caring and kind. Trust them to be capable of preserving dignity and respect in our meetings. And trust that they receive revelation in difficult moments and on sensitive subjects in the moments when they're needed, exactly as they're needed.

Pictured: a new bit of ribín Bride that I embroidered to be used in my folk rituals

“It was also a common custom to put a bratog Bride, brat Brude, or ribín Bride outside upon a window-sill overnight, being a cloth a garment, or ribbon which St. Brigid would bless in passing and which would subsequently prevent headaches in the wearer.” —Ronald Hutton, Stations of the Sun.

A bit of ribín Bride left outside January 31, 2025 for St. Brigid to bless along with a Brigid’s cross to welcome her into the home.

St. Brigid’s Cloak was a piece of cloth called the Brat-Bhríde which was used for healing and protection during the year.

The Brat-Bhríde was the size of a handkerchief. It was left outside the house on night of the 31st of January, by the people who lived there. It was hoped that St. Brigid would bless the Brat-Bhríde as she passed by during the night.

The following morning the cloak was taken into the house to be used for healing. The cloak was also placed on the head of a person who had a headache.

Source

“Although my family hung the ribbon out the window others laid theirs on the doorstep, window sill, a garden hedge or even over a low roof of a shed. In some places in Munster the ribbon/cloth was tied to the latch of the door so the saint would touch it when entering the house.

In my home the ribbon was used only for headaches but in other places and in times past it was said to cure sore throats earache, bareness, help women in childbirth, ward of the evil eye and protect children from fairies. It could also be used for farm animal that became ill the sign of the cross was made with the brat and it was then laid on the animals back to ensure the saints intervention on its behalf. It helped animals to give birth and have a plentiful supply of milk (Danaher 1972, 33).”

The End of the World As We Know It: New Tales of Stephen King's The Stand will be published in hardcover and e-book on August 19, 2025 via Gallery Books.

Edited by Christopher Golden and Brian Keene, the anthology features 34 short stories based on The Stand. It includes an introduction by Stephen King, a foreword by Golden, and an afterword by Keene.

Contributors include Wayne Brady & Maurice Broaddus, Poppy Z. Brite, Somer Canon, C. Robert Cargill, Nat Cassidy, V. Castro, Richard Chizmar, S.A. Cosby, Tananarive Due & Steven Barnes, Meg Gardiner, Gabino Iglesias, Jonathan Janz, Alma Katsu, Caroline Kepnes, Michael Koryta, Sarah Langan, Joe R. Lansdale, Tim Lebbon, Josh Malerman, Ronald Malfi, Usman T. Malik, Premee Mohamed, Cynthia Pelayo, Hailey Piper, David J. Schow, Alex Segura, Bryan Smith, Paul Tremblay, Catherynne M. Valente, Bev Vincent, Catriona Ward, Chuck Wendig, Wrath James White, and Rio Youers.

Since its initial publication in 1978, The Stand has been considered Stephen King’s seminal masterpiece of apocalyptic fiction, with millions of copies sold and adapted twice for television. Although there are other extraordinary works exploring the unraveling of human society, none have been as influential as this iconic novel—generations of writers have been impacted by its dark yet ultimately hopeful vision of the end and new beginning of civilization, and its stunning array of characters. Now for the first time, Stephen King has fully authorized a return to the harrowing world of The Stand through this original short story anthology as presented by award-winning authors and editors Christopher Golden and Brian Keene. Bringing together some of today’s greatest and most visionary writers, The End of the World As We Know It features unforgettable, all-new stories set during and after (and some perhaps long after) the events of The Stand—brilliant, terrifying, and painfully human tales that will resonate with readers everywhere as an essential companion to the classic, bestselling novel.
