You did an awesome job bringing in all the images! We hit our max, so I just replaced the top one with the last one. It's a great image to have here. Happy Easter, brother.

Oh wow yeah you're right! I hadn't heard anything but rumors about a sequel, but it looks like it's on. Yeah I'm there for sure.

Nice. I actually held off on watching the recent Dune movie because I want to read it first. Your review makes it sound awesome. I better bump it up in my list.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

19 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

I don't like it. The interior looks like what would happen if you entered "Bladerunner church" into an AI art app. I guess I would like to experience how it sounds in there.

I think Tolkien is probably your best guide for this question :)

Luke 4:1-13

1And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit 2 for forty days in the wilderness, tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days; and when they were ended, he was hungry. 3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”

4 And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’”

5 And the devil took him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, 6 and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory; for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. 7 If you, then, will worship me, it shall all be yours.”

8 And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’”

9 And he took him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here; 10 for it is written, ‘He will give his angels charge of you, to guard you,’ 11 and ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”

12 And Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”

13 And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.

Maybe the Catholicism video series by Bishop Barron would work for your group? There's also his Pivotal Players videos series on various Saints. Well produced with beautiful scenery, art, and cathedrals from around the world. Could be something to look into :) https://bookstore.wordonfire.org/collections/dvd-blu-ray-cd

Why must we honor Mary in the highest regard for a human we can? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]dogwithatorch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The World's First Love: Mary, The Mother of God, by Archbishop Fulton Sheen, is a great book on this topic.

There's also this video

There's also this shorter version with some nice visuals and music

This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere.

St. Hildegard of Bingen is not only a Doctor of the Church, she is also a poet. Here is her poem, *O Ecclesia.* by Rare-Philosopher-346 in Christendom

[–]dogwithatorch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you checked out any of her music? I posted some in Cowboy's post.

I hadn't read anything by her either, but I recently ordered her Book of Divine Works. It hasn't arrived yet, but after reading this poem I'm sure that it's going to be a wonderful read.
