Saint Mark Ji Tianxiang, “the Trier" was a Chinese lay Catholic, doctor and drug addict. He became addicted to opium because of a stomach ailment and suffered for 30 years with the addiction. He went to confession regularly to confess his drug use, but because of the priest’s misunderstanding of addiction he would not give Ji absolution because he believed there was no firm purpose of amendment. Although being denied the Sacraments Ji continued going to Mass and stayed steadfast in his faith for 30 years praying to die a martyr. During the Boxer Rebellion (anti-foreign, Christian persecution) he and his family were martyred. He encouraged all in prison to keep the faith throughout their ordeal and sang the litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary as he was about to be beheaded.

on a slightly serious note, i got a prayer request
ive been discerning the priesthood/religious life for about two years now, and have made an unofficial visit to a seminary for the religious order I want to join back in April. I’m supposed to meet the director of vocations in order to follow up on the visit and discuss next steps but havent heard a word from him yet. Please pray for me to grow in patience and peace since ive been getting anxious about it, and for continued discernment for me, i would greatly appreciate it <3
Also, the ppl who are anti-children also claim to be “pro-choice”. If you’re “pro-choice” then you should also respect the choices of mothers who want to have multiple children like isn’t that the point of calling yourself this? Like what kind of people would say stuff like this?
I don’t think they really care about choice at all they just want abortions.
When the eugenics movement fell out of fashion, it split into two new movements - the abortion movement and the environmentalist movement. Not surprised to see them reuniting now. Neither one actually left eugenics behind, they just learned better marketing. It’s always been about controlling who is deemed worthy of reproducing.
