“We call Lent a ‘penitential season’. It is striking, then, that the symbol with which it begins does not focus so much on personal sin as on our contingence as created beings […] To take the ashes is to confess kinship with this world of dust, to declare our readiness to abdicate pretensions to omnipotence. Standing before God in this way, I profess that I am not God. I admit the chasm that separates me from him. I accept the uncomfortable otherness of God. He is what I am not, yet my being bears his mark. I crave a completion no created thing can give. I walk this earth as yearning incarnate. I am at home, yet a stranger, homesick for a homeland I recall but have not seen.”

— Erik Varden: The Shattering of Loneliness

A litany for Lent

My Lord, my Jesus, grant me constancy in my devotion, grant me the grace to descend into the grief of your sorrowful Passion, and to always fix on you my eyes, my heart, and my mind. As you go into the desert, Jesus, let me follow you. From the temptation to turn away from suffering, O Jesus, deliver me. From the temptation to dismiss my sorrow and the sorrow of others, O Jesus, deliver me. From the temptation to lose myself in distractions, O Jesus, deliver me. From the temptation to choose the pleasures of this world over your calling, O Jesus, deliver me. From the temptation to bury my feelings and cut myself off from your compassion, and others from mine, O Jesus, deliver me. From the temptation to reject and run from darkness, forgetting that it can never overcome your light, O Jesus, deliver me. To follow you into the wilderness, to bear hunger and thirst and never falter, Jesus, let me stay true. To withstand the temptations of the devil and of this world, Jesus, let me stay true. To wake with you in the garden and not turn from your agony, Jesus, let me stay true. To walk with you to Calvary and wipe the sweat and blood from your brow, Jesus, let me stay true. To fix my eyes upon injustice and never grow callous, Jesus, let me stay true. To let the sorrow of this world deeply pierce me and move me to compassion and right action, Jesus, let me stay true. To gladly carry my own cross, and help others carry theirs, Jesus, let me stay true. To strip away all my defenses and open my heart to your unfailing love,  that I may grow smaller and you greater in me,  that I no longer live but you live in me, that I may be a vessel to bring your light into this world,  Jesus, let me stay true.

#-Help me save my life🚩🚩

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings,

I am Salem, *47 years old*, living in *Gaza* which is living under the burden of war and destruction. Some time ago, I was diagnosed with *malignant liver cancer*, a serious disease that constantly threatens my life. At first, hope was weak, but with each passing day, I am in dire need of treatment.

The war we live in here is not limited to bombing and destruction only, but it also affects our health. My family and I live in very difficult conditions, and I cannot bear the burden of the disease alone. I do not have the financial ability to cover the costs of treatment, and the operation I need is a *life or death* for me. Until now, I have been fighting the pain and illness, but I need *your support* so that I can get the necessary treatment I need.

*Campaign link*

I need immediate treatment, which includes medications and chemotherapy, but the cost of treatment is beyond our financial capacity. *The opportunity for treatment has been delayed because we live in very harsh conditions, with few possibilities*, and no one can help me except God and the kind hearts that support me in this difficult time. The disease greatly affects my life, and I fear that I will lose everything if I cannot get treatment in time. Every day that passes increases the severity of my condition. I sincerely and hopefully appeal to you to contribute to my campaign and help me overcome this ordeal.

I ask you, my beloved, to help me even with a small part. Every donation, no matter how small, will contribute to saving my life and giving me the opportunity to live.

*Please donate to my campaign and help spread it* to reach the largest possible number of people who may help me. I need you now more than ever.

May Allah reward you for your support. *Oh Allah, make this work in the balance of your good deeds*.

I hope you donate 🙏🏻🙏🏻

2025

REMAIN BRAVE.

skate flat stones across the river.

make my home a sanctuary, a shelter, a welcome resting place.

learn the first names and favorite foods of neighbors.

keep the windows open as long as warmth allows.

ask myself: will it make a good memory?

earlier mornings, longer walks.

remember I am not without my own seasons.

write recipes on paper. print photos out for framing. seek the tangible, the homemade.

speak out about harm when I see it done. leave room for learning, but never complacency.

one long summer drive to myself. an overnight somewhere new if possible.

let the candles burn through winter.

joy is not made to be a crumb, but a feast. arrive fork and knife in hand.

BE HOPEFUL, BUT ALSO IN ACTION.

[vampiredfarmer]

Emergency, read my story and help me ‼️

Please Share Or Replog Or Donate For My Family💔🙏

Hello, I am Sameha from Gaza, I am 30 years old, married and have a seven-year-old daughter named Almas. She suffers from a chronic chest crisis, and now my daughter does not have the basics of life and needs to buy treatment on a continuous and very expensive basis.

I am writing these words after deep thought, as the urgent need to save me and my daughter is beyond my ability to bear.

I would like to add that I studied arts and graduated with a high grade, and I aspired to become a teacher in my country, in addition to being a mother to a child.

I wished that she would come into this world in better conditions and not live in war deprived of her most basic rights

But the war came and destroyed all our dreams and ambitions.

My mother was martyred in the war and my father and sisters were seriously injured and

We are living death.

Please help me protect my family and my daughter to restore life and hope to them. Every donation, even if it is only 5 dollars, can make a difference. It means a lot to us and to our child. Please reshape their lives with love and safety, and help build new hope in their differences by helping me save my family.

I feel so sad and embarrassed to ask for help, but I have no other options left. I know this is a difficult request, but I also know that there is still humanity and a living conscience and I believe in miracles.

Your support during this very difficult time will give us hope in the midst of devastation and despair.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask me!

My sincere regards and thank you.

It’s almost christmas. Palestine is still under the brutal oppression of Israel. Please, donate what you can to Palestinians.

[vampiredfarmer]

URGENT!!!

If you have a moment, please support @ahmedloayyusef and their campaign. Ahmed is trapped in Gaza with his family during this horrifying genocide! Ahmed had previously needed his right hand amputated due to a horrific Israeli attack in the past. He is hoping to receive a prosthetic right hand soon. This would be life-changing for Ahmed and his family, especially during this horrific genocide. Ahmed desperately needs our help to receive this prosthetic as quickly as possible, but this will cost around $12,000! He needs our support! Please, please donate whatever you can to help Ahmed, and share this campaign as much as you possibly can to help reach this goal as soon as possible!

[vampiredfarmer]

While the world celebrates the new year with lights, joy, and warmth, we in Gaza are trapped in darkness and terror. No decorations, no festivities—only the deafening roar of planes and bombings shattering the silence of our nights.

In fragile tents and broken shelters, we fight to survive the biting cold and the devastation that surrounds us. The rain seeps through, the wind cuts deep, and yet, somehow, we cling to hope.

You are our last lifeline—don’t leave us to face this nightmare alone. Your kindness can be the light that breaks through this darkness and the warmth that saves us from despair.

Even a small donation—€5 or €10—could mean food for a child, warmth for a family, or a glimpse of safety in this endless fear.

Please, don’t turn away. Help us. Your support is the only thing standing between us and the abyss

Donate here to save my family and bring a glimmer of hope amidst this darkness

I'm Raneen, a mother of three children: Mohammed, Rami, and Julia, currently living in Gaza. My husband, Mahmoud, traveled to Egypt for work three days before the war broke out, leaving us alone. I have struggled greatly with the kids; we’ve had to flee from the north to the center, then to Rafah, and back again.🇵🇸

We are living in extremely difficult conditions. My daughter Julia suffers from severe chest allergies,💔 and her condition has worsened due to the war’s aftermath. I can’t provide their basic needs because of the scarcity of resources and rising prices.💔🍉

Please, help me care for my children. There is no safe place in Gaza; everywhere is at risk at any moment. I am trying to get to Egypt to join my husband, but it requires a significant amount of money. I have lost our home and all our sources of income.

I trust in your humanity, and I kindly ask for your support. Please don’t turn away from us. Help us achieve our goal of leaving Gaza and finding safety for my children 💔🇵🇸

I think one of the great temptations of our current age is the temptation to dwell chronically in unreality. Many of us spend our whole lives living in imagination. Even our deepest held religious beliefs are essentially imaginary to us.
