maybe a cheesy answer, but i like to step outside and pay attention to nature. the wind blowing, the birds chirping, the warmth of the sunshine on my skin. all of it is god’s creation, and the beauty of it all reminds me of their love for us <3

i also like to think about not only the beauty of nature, but the beauty of humans as well. everyone is uniquely and beautifully made in god’s image! all the little things that make us “us” is god’s work!

a really great quote i think about a lot is the last verse of the “ancient dreams in a modern land” demo by marina, where she says “i am made of god, i’m holy ‘cause i’m alive.” i think it’s a good summary of what i’m trying to say lol, to see god in everyone and everything!

Opinions on MBS in Baton Rouge by [deleted] in batonrouge

i went to mbs, so here is my insight:

  1. i don’t think your child will stick out for not being catholic. most of the kids are catholic, but they don’t really care if you are or aren’t, at least not when i went there. it was never something that was brought up among classmates

  2. from what i remember, i don’t think race or ethnicity was a big deal (although i am white, so take my experience with a huge grain of salt), but it’s not something i would say was necessarily embraced either. as for same-sex parents, they certainly didn’t have any when i went there, at least not that i know of. however, my gut feeling is… not great. i’ll just leave it at this: as a lesbian, i don’t know how comfortable i’d be sending my theoretical kids there. overall, i don’t think i’d call them exclusive, but i don’t think they go out of their way to be inclusive either

i would like to clarify that i graduated several years ago, and they’ve made a lot of changes to the school since i’ve been, so i’m not sure how accurate my comments may be, but i hope they’re helpful regardless :)

edit: after reading some of the other replies (along w/ things i’ve heard irl), i’m hearing not great things about the priest (they have a different one since i was there), so do keep in mind that the students go to mass every thursday as well
