O Eternal Love, You command Your Sacred Image to be painted And reveal to us the inconceivable fount of mercy,
You bless whoever approaches Your rays,
And a soul all black will turn into snow.
O sweet Jesus, it is here You established the throne of Your mercy To bring joy and hope to sinful man,
From Your open Heart, as from a pure fount,
Flows comfort to a repentant heart and soul.
May praise and glory for this Image Never cease to stream from man‟s soul.
May praise and glory for this Image
Never cease to stream from man‟s soul,
May praise of God‟s mercy pour from every heart, Now, and at every hour, and forever and ever.
O My God
When I look into the future, I am frightened, But why plunge into the future?
Only the present moment is precious to me, As the future may never enter my soul at all.
It is no longer in my power,
To change, correct or add to the past;
For neither sages nor prophets could do that.
And so, what the past has embraced I must entrust to God.
O present moment, you belong to me, whole and entire, I desire to use you as best I can.
And although I am weak and small,
You grant me the grace of Your omnipotence.
And so, trusting in Your mercy,
I walk through life like a little child, Offering You each day this heart Burning with love for Your greater glory.

I like Mastodon so much, I got a second account.

But after I started my main account (@garciabuxton@home.social) only a few days ago, I found I had a hard time finding other Roman Catholics -- at least an active Catholic presence that was as large as #CatholicTwitter. Honestly, Catholic Twitter had its toxic spaces, but there were plenty of folks who made it bearable. Those are the people I miss.

So, when I found the Catholic instance RCSocial.net, I opted to set up a second Mastodon presence there to find my tribe. An #introduction is in order.

As I note in my main account, I'm a #GenX wife, mom of a teenager, and a befuddled first-time CCD teacher. Among my interests relative to faith:

#prayer
#mystics
#theology
#Mary
#DivineMercy
#HolySouls
#ProLifeForTheWholeLife

Per my bio, I'm a fangirl of St. Josemaria Escriva and Dorothy Day; I also consider Sts. Edith Stein, Faustina, Francis de Sales, and Maximilian Kolbe part of my squad, as well as Ven. Bruno Lanteri, Thomas Merton, and Henri Nouwen.

I attend a rather traditional parish, where I'm very happy but probably a political and cultural outlier in some ways. That said, I'm not interested in indulging in politics and culture/liturgy wars.

Thanks to @George for having this space for fellow Catholic travelers in the Fediverse.

RT @Pontifex: This Sunday, we discover three ways the #DivineMercy acts in us: it gives joy, it grants forgiveness and comforts in difficulties. https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/events/event.dir.html/content/vaticanevents/en/2022/4/24/divina-misericordia.html

RT @Pontifex: Let us ask for the grace to feeling that we are in need of mercy: this is the only way that the salvation of God operates in us. #DivineMercy
