Today we celebrate the Conception of the Theotokos by Saint Anna. For many years, Saint Anna was barren and her and her husband, Joachim, were left childless in their old age. After much ridicule and rejection from even the high priest himself, the holy couple prayed fervently and the Archangel Gabriel appeared to Saint Anna promising her that she would bear a child, who later came to bear the Word of God. May Saints Joachim and Anna intercede for us always + #saint #anna #joachim #theotokos #mary #virginmary #holy #barren #child #birth #conception #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Jerusalem Palestine) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl6zTj3LxH_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Santa Muerte. TW Death.

Death seems like a peaceful release of this loud life. I wouldn't say I'm attracted to death, rather fascinated by it. There are so many questions in this life and there is really only ONE answer; death. Our body in this form will cease to be someday. Some people can look at death and become fearful of it. Death may be an answer but some can't fathom the questions death brings about. There are many talks of an afterlife, of reincarnation. I know for a fact that some places, some people, have a heavy energy to them. It's almost a palpable grip on whatever happens next. Stories & places of ghosts' haunting and appearing. I can't imagine becoming a ghost and wanting to come back..

My theory is that ghosts are simply existing in a different dimension simultaneously with us. Going about their day, and maybe, just maybe, they think WE are ghosts too! Think about it.. some people believe that every THING, all around the world is happening simultaneously. Time is in fact, not real. People talk about "jumping timelines.." or "shifting dimensional consciousness." Have you ever woken up and felt like you were on a different dimension? I have! Maybe when my actions don't align with what I truly need or want in life.. This kind of reminds me of "remote viewing." This is when the CIA asks clairvoyant people to ultimately spy on people around the world.. Essentially, they tap into the consciousness of other people. It's almost like telepathy but super advanced.

I wish for death to be peaceful, deep, rest. At this point in my life, I wouldn't mind not coming back.. I wouldn't want to be stuck because that's somewhat how I feel right now. I'd want comfortable silence, a last kiss of winter's cold lips.

I hope to leave this life old, peaceful and without a trace of fear or regret in my heart. I hope to have an innate understanding that death is neither the end nor the beginning..

Today we celebrate the Venerable Cuthbert, Bishop of Lindisfarne. The earliest information we have about the life of Saint Cuthbert is as a young boy, he was playing childish games and acting in a foolish manner when a three year old boy reprimanded him, prophesying that this was inappropriate behaviour for a future bishop. Taken aback by this comment, Cuthbert began to come to his senses. At age 17, Saint Cuthbert’s life changed as he was watching some sheep on a hill when he saw a beam of light in the distance carrying a soul up to heaven, which he later found out was the soul of the Blessed Aidan, Bishop of Lindisfarne on the day that he reposed. Saint Cuthbert soon joined the monastery at Melrose and lived under the guidance of Saint Boisil. After the Synod of Whitby, Cuthbert moved back to Lindisfarne where he lived a solitary life of prayer and fasting. Because of his faithfulness, God granted him the gift of healing. His fame increasing and flocks of faithful came to meet him to ask for his prayers, the King petitioned Cuthbert to leave his hermitage and to become bishop of Lindisfarne. Cuthbert guided his flock in prayer and love and after much missionary work, he peacefully reposed in the Lord on this day in 687AD. May he intercede for us always + #saint #cuthbert #lindisfarne #bishop #ireland #monk #prayer #love #christian #prophesy #monastery #melrose #whitby #synod #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Lindisfarne, Northumberland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_GSlsrbUv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

St. Priscilla of Rome

Saint of the Day

St. Priscilla of Rome (1st c.) was a Christian noblewoman who served as a benefactor to the Christian community in Rome. She supported St. Peter the Apostle, the first Bishop of Rome, and her home near the catacombs served as his headquarters. She was the wife of Manius Acilius Glabrio, a Roman politician, who was executed by the Emperor Domitian for atheism, that is, his refusal to worship the Roman gods because he was Christian. Priscilla buried him in what was once a quarry and donated the property to the Church so that others could also be laid to rest there. Her catacombs, known since the earliest days of Christianity as the "Catacombs of Priscilla" are also referred to as the “Queen of the Catacombs” because such a large number of martyrs and popes were buried there. It also holds a significant collection of early Christian iconography including the earliest known depiction of the Madonna and Child. St. Priscilla was also martyred for her Christian faith and buried there. Her feast day is January 16.
