Boo to you too! I did not see a single child out for trick or treat this year! Not one.... mind you the weather here is rough, windy and wet. That may be why!
Turning All Hallows into a greedy candy explosion is just sooooo Evil... Better for the kids NOT to be begging for poison anyway! Yeah, I like the old-fashioned holly daze, not the new CANDY ADDICTION DELIVERY SYSTEM (poison). Bam!
My life is so absolutely crazy right now, and while I have a rather hands-arf approach to Christianity, my parents' church has been an AMAZING, loving, wonderful support to me, and so I go there, and just roll in it... ;)
I loved your description of "God" the other day... I just LOVED it. xo xo
Priceless, Francis! Shared all over the goddamned place cuz this just rocks! Thank you!
P.s. I’m a senior and I think I’ll go trick or treating with a sign around my neck “I identify with being a costumed young person”. Think it’ll work? 😝
Today, October 31, is All Hallows Eve. It is a day of fasting and prayer. A day of the Church Militant.
Tomorrow is All Saints Day, also known as All Hallows Day, when all Hallows should break loose. It is a feast day, a day celebrating the Church Triumphant.
November 2 is All Souls Day. We remember and pray for souls in Purgatory also known as The Church Suffering.
"These three days these three days form a sort of "Autumn Triduum," proclaiming God's glory and the gift of eternal life during a season that naturally reminds us of death."
Dom Prosper Gueranger exhorts us on this Vigil day to keep watch over our hearts:
"Let us prepare our souls for the graces heaven is about to shower upon the earth in return for its homage. Tomorrow the Church will be so overflowing with joy, that she will seem to be already in possession of eternal happiness; but today she appears in the garb of penance, confessing that she is still an exile.
Let us fast and pray with her; for are not we too pilgrims and strangers in this world, where all things are fleeting and hurry on to death?
Year by year, as the great solemnity comes round, it has gathered from among our former companions new saints, who bless our tears and smile upon our songs of hope.
Year by year the appointed time draws nearer, when we ourselves, seated at the heavenly banquet, shall receive the homage of those who succeed us, and hold out a helping hand to draw them after us to the home of everlasting happiness.
Let us learn, from this very hour, to emancipate our souls; let us keep our hearts free, in the midst of the vain solicitudes and false pleasures of a strange land: the exile has no care but his banishment, no joy but that which gives him a foretaste of his fatherland."
From Dom Prosper Gueranger, The Liturgical Year: Time After Pentecost, Book 5
And prior to the hijacking of month and day, All Hollows Eve was known as Samhain. Samhain was celebrated as the taking in of harvest and preparation for times of winter. Of course historians and alleged scholars have focused on negative aspects and the bizarre...
Thank you, Dachsie, as usual you stamp your religion down on what should have been a fun post. You are beyond help. You would prefer to live among Puritans? Feel free, love. Off you pop.
Well, my "religion" teaches me that you are not beyond help, so I will pray for you.
I prefer to focus my thoughts, words, and deeds on the One God Who is my Creator and Who has a Son Who is Truth and Who has saved us, is saving us and will save us from this One World Death and Slavery System for All.
I am not sure what "Off you pop" means but I guess that is your way of saying good bye.
God is an energy. God is love and I see no love in the claimed ‘words of God’ produced by dubious men, translated from old documents by dubious men, reprinted and circulated as a mind control device by even more dubious men.
I sense the love of God every second of every living day. I do not find it in manmade manipulative books which find a way to justify murder, theft, hatred and cruelty. I certainly do not find love in manmade wars.
I am always shocked when I come across spiritually captured people who do not know that God loves all life because God IS ALL LIFE.
I do not require your evangelism. It is offensive to me. I hope you stop trying to claim the higher moral ground soon enough to recognise that the religion you obey has been keeping you from knowing the truth.
Frances, you are at your best with the fanatics, disinfo agents and tyrants. The control system seeks thy destruction. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, Frances without end!
BOO!
Ooops, dat wasn't sposed to be a comment, just slipped out...
Ha har harf! Happy All Skanks Day, I mean... Saints. Wooooof!

Thank you Frances, the last video one way or another, the girl second on the right sure seems to be getting into it.
On this day Israel gave the United States the song God Bless America. Trick or treat?
Who said that?
Ah! I thought it sounded a lot like him! Thanks! xx
Blessed Hallowtide! to all.

I have had a lot of practice with the fanatics. Many, many years in fact! xx
