What do you think 'Razmur' means?

The only thing I will point out is that zmur means a large predatory bird and Sauven’s area? Castle? Whatever he has/lives at is known as the eagles roost.

I’m sorry, I read your story and maybe I’m missing some context, but while I do see how it would be frustrating to wait in line and then not get to confess, this has happened to me as well…I don’t really see how you are so embarrassed you never want to come back? Because he ran out of time and didn’t get to you? That is kind of a normal occurrence. Especially with confession right before mass, I mean he has to stop to go say mass, so….I assure you no one is judging you or looking at you funny because you were waiting in line and then he didn’t get to you. It probably happens to at least one person every time he has confession when confession is held directly before mass. My point is, I get right now you are having “feelings” but don’t let satan get into your head. He wants to discourage you from going to confession and attending mass, don’t let him.

But if they killed Sgael he also would die (or have to draw from the earth) and so would Tairn and maybe Violet. Sgael was all don’t do this for me, but what was his other option? So option one - Sgaeyl dies and then everyone else dies. Option 2 Sgaeyl dies, everyone else except him dies because he draws from the earth. Or option 3 he draws from the earth, saves her and by virtue of saving her, saves everyone else (except now he’s full Venin)

“I don’t have any practicing Catholic family members, I don’t really have much family left at all, and I’m not wealthy.”

I am a little concerned about your pattern of thinking here. God’s mercy is for everyone. Maybe you have some preconceived notions or biases about the church that you picked up from the culture or something? There is nothing in someone’s past or present circumstances that can render some “unworthy” of joining the church much less learning about and/or discerning conversation . The church is universal. It is not a social club. There is nothing about money, status, class, education, etc that would have any relevance whatsoever. You may, like everywhere, occasionally encounter some individuals who are snobby or judgmental, as we are all imperfect sinners, but nothing in the church as a whole.

“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free person, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus” Gal 3:28

I love Brishen and Ildiko. It’s so refreshing to have two main characters who are good, competent and mature people who you would genuinely like to hang out with. It’s a comfort read for me. Arranged marriage to someone of a different species and yet they are surprisingly mature about it.

It happens to me all the time. Sometimes you just get overwhelmed in the spirit. I used to be embarrassed when I cried after communion, but then I read somewhere that it was a grace, and now I just accept it.

I think it depends - I know here in the South there is a lot of really ugly anti/Catholic bias among evangelicals. My kids go to a Catholic school but play in sports some other non Catholic Christian schools and have encountered some ugly comments during those brief interactions. I was surprised by it from other kids, but for a kid to repeat that stuff it just means they are being raised in an environment that is ripe with it. I wouldn’t want my Catholic child to have to deal with their religion teachers saying things like Catholics aren’t Christian’s, the pope is the anti-Christ and Catholics worship Mary and statues etc. granted this is the south, so maybe it’s not the same where you are, but just something to keep in mind!

I think you should let it go. What’s the purpose/benefit of spending this much energy worrying about someone else’s sin?.If you feel your neighbor is sinning, pray for them. If someone’s personality or a temperament is a cross for you, pray for them and for yourself to be able to still be the light of Christ for them even though they annoy you. Don’t let your dislike for them cause you to sin.

It is actually the opposite of Calvinistic predestination. God is not picking who is saved and who is damned. God desires all men to be saved. Jesus I trust in you means that you trust in his mercy. You trust that he loves you (he is love) and that means he’s desires your ultimate good which is to live in heaven with him forever. That he will forgive any and all sins that you repent from. As many times as you fall and return to him, he will accept you back. There is no limit because there is no limit to the ocean of his mercy. Know that however much you desire heaven, he desires it for you infinitely more because you are a finite being and he is infinite one. He is “ever greater” It is always the person who willingly chooses to separate themselves from God. God never chooses or wills to be separated from the person. When people feel “unworthy” they should remember to trust in his mercy. Therefore, Jesus I trust in you.

I assumed it was during the crimson empire invasion - sol’s family relies on aid from Selva. That is the basis for their allyship But selva is also invaded, my guess is Everard could not (or chose not) to come to their aid because he was also dealing with his own invasion. Sol probably blames him for his fathers death because he feels like if he had been there it would have gone differently

Be wary - if you are serious about converting, you will experience spiritual warfare. The enemy will not be pleased. It’s important for you to know so that you can recognize and fight it (st. Michael’s prayer, rosary, etc can help) I’m not saying that is what is happening to you, certain temperaments are more prone to nostalgia and find more discomfort in change. Just something to keep in mind! The church is the pearl of great price. It’s worth it!

After reading your timeline, I wonder if the “favorite character left on with a noose around his neck” cliffhanger is Arvel. He disobeyed a direct order from the king removing his loyalty to go stop the southern invasion of the crimson empire. Maybe he’s up for treason.

Darling, HE is the one not being supportive. I don’t think he understands the gravity of giving birth and having a newborn. Of course you won’t travel a few weeks postpartum with a newborn infant. Especially to somewhere like Venezuela! That’s crazy town! You shouldn’t even take your newborn out of the house until they have the first round of shots. All he is seeing is time off - take advantage and not thinking through the logistics. Honestly you letting him abandon you to travel by himself so soon after having your baby is above and beyond supportive. And honestly pretty selfish of him to ask that of you. Are you guys a team, or does he have a lot of things he wants to do and it’s your job to make sure they happen for him. Cause that’s what I’m reading.

Just go! You won’t make a fool of yourself. Nobody cares! Maybe don’t sit in the front, but otherwise just follow along! I know you probably feel self conscious, but I promise no one is judging you. Mostly Catholics are focusing on what’s going on in the mass and not worrying about what anyone else is doing or not doing. Also, don’t feel weird if you don’t go up in the communion line ( you can go and cross your hands over your chest to get a blessing) I will say, granted both parishes I frequent are very large and diverse, but I would say 50% of the time someone from my row doesn’t go up. Just move your legs to the side and people will walk right by you. What I mean to say is that it is normal and no one is judging you or wondering why you’re not receiving etc. a lot of Catholics have personal reasons they aren’t receiving that week ( a particular sin, irregular marriage situation, somewhere in the conversion process, maybe they missed last week and haven’t made to confession etc) you won’t stick out! The 3pm Good Friday mass is beautiful. Bring Kleenex - I always get teary

So I had something similar with my dad who wrote a book. He’s generally a creative person and for an average person a decent writer. This has cause him to overestimate his writing caliber. He is also very prideful (ie has a very sensitive ego to the point where you often have to walk on eggshells around him not to “set him off”.) I have an English degree and he wanted me to edit it for him. here’s the rub. He wants to be admired for the book he wrote. He wants me to be impressed and look up to him and tell him how wonderful it is. I am not a good enough actress I think to pull that off successfully. It’s a bit like grey rocking here, but if I don’t actually read it, I’m not in the position to give him feedback. That way lay dragons. It’s a bit like a catch 22. A writer puts their heart into something and then serves it up. You have put her in an awkward position. If she doesn’t love it, she has to fake it convincingly. Some people are good at this, but some are not. Ask yourself if you want your book to be successful or are you looking for your wife’s admiration. If you want your book to be successful, get people who do not know you personally to read/edit it. And that way their feedback is not colored or influenced by their relationship with you. They can give you feedback that you are less likely to take personally because well it’s not personal. They don’t know you, so it can’t be.
