*~*~*~*1st of Advent*~*~*~*

It is the beautiful task of Advent awaken in all of us memories of goodness and thus open doors of hope. - Pope Benedict XVI

Violence, hatred, division, scandal, fear and the like plague us day in and day out. The news media daily competes present us with the most shocking and sensational news possible fill our short attention span with sound bites and images. As a result, many in our world today no longer appear to be able to cope with the chaotic noise.

Advent is the chance to reach out to each other with kindness.




Happiness is when what you think, what you say, what you do are in harmony - M. Gandhi

Aren't we social beings with meaningful traditions!? All it takes is to light a candle, listen to some relaxing music........ and the bad spirits drive away.

I agree, but with the media blasting at us day and night, it's hard to see the goodness. It's so true.... if it bleeds, it reads. People seem drawn to the gory and negative, and the media amplifies it. Perhaps it's time to shut it off, and look around at the people in our area of the world and try to focus on the positive and we can do to help others.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Sandy, I don't watch mainstream news anymore. Like you, I listen to medical experts on the alternative sites, and scientists of different faculties who are silenced. Btw, more and more countries are now not only critizising but also ending the pcr tests, thus quarantine and lockdowns. Portugal stopped this craziness last week. The real threat is the Great Reset.......

Sure, what the World needs now is more crazy Conspiracy theories.....I sure wouldn't trust anyone who thinks the Pope is a reliable authority on anything......except perhaps how to bully a choir boy to jerk him off.......

The first sentence in this blog could have been said by anybody. That Benedict said it does not validate the words. Second, I am NOT a blind follower and look for sources of information that can be trusted. I have learned long ago what the tools are to trap the people. The bait sounds promising, the wake-up is bitter. The real fascist will always say that he is the antifascist. Did you read the Marx/Lenin manifesto? The signs are written on the wall. You and yours quickly grab the word "Conspiracy" to kill all arguments. What did the organizer and head of the World Economic Forum say in Davos? "In 10 years nobody will own anything. And they will be happy." Now you can contemplate what kind of happiness he meant.

The first sentence in this blog would only be said by "anybody".....only a practicing Christian.....The words "The signs are written on the wall" have been stated by all kinds of crazy people.......some of whom have been prophesying the second coming for more than 2000 years.......

"The signs are written on the wall" has nothing to do with religion, but with the happy march into dictatorship. I know that anything that has to do with religion brings out your severe allergies. Your imagination has no limits. I am not into prophecies.

I didn't say "The signs are written on the wall " has been only used by the religious......I said "all kinds of crazy people"......Anyone can use that sentence based on nothing......."the signs are written on the wall" is a meaningless statement......Posting theories without evidence is the definition of "conspiracy theory" and religion is an example of a theory without evidence.........
