“This Sunday, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, also known as the Triumph of the Cross. It invites the faithful to reflect on the central mystery of Christianity: the Cross as the instrument of salvation and a symbol of ultimate victory over sin and death. The Cross, once an emblem of suffering and shame in the Roman world, was transformed by Jesus Christ’s sacrifice into a sign of hope, redemption, and divine love. Through His passion and death, Christ turned an instrument of torture into the means of humanity’s reconciliation with God. The triumph lies not in worldly power or glory but in the paradox of the Cross—where weakness becomes strength, suffering becomes salvation, and death leads to eternal life. As St. Paul writes, “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God” (1 Corinthians 1:18). The Triumph of the Cross is a call to embrace the Cross in daily life. It challenges believers to carry their own crosses—sufferings, sacrifices, and trials—with faith and trust in God’s redemptive plan. The feast reminds us that the Cross is not merely a symbol to venerate but a way of life, inviting us to unite our struggles with Christ’s for the salvation of the world. In celebrating this feast, we are invited to gaze upon the Cross with gratitude and awe, recognizing it as the tree of life that bridges heaven and earth. Through prayer, the Eucharist, and acts of charity, the faithful honor the triumph of Christ’s love, which conquers all through the mystery of the Cross.” - Father V #sunday #christ #cross

I have always had serious reservations about using ChatGPT and any products made by OpenAI. This interview and a separate Tucker Carlson interview with the mother of a dead OpenAI whistleblower are extremely concerning. I will continue to find and use open source tools for AI and other technology. #freedom #truth #nostr #bitcoin

Good morning, #nostr friends. Here is a quote and beautiful image for us to contemplate on a Sunday. Blessings to you and yours! "God did not tell us to follow Him because He needed our help, but because He knew that Loving Him would make us whole." -St. Irenaeus #sunday #lordsday #faith #hope #charity #peace

Our auto DCA took some more sats off the market today and moved them into deep cold storage. Amazing to contemplate how Bitcoin works for us even during our Sunday rest. Saying a prayer for all of the #nostr community and for peace in our broken world. #bitcoin #sunday

“It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to put one’s trust in mortals. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to put one’s trust in princes.” -Psalm 118: 8-9 A blessed feast of St. Hyacinth to all! #christ #sunday #catholic #christian

Feast of the Assumption of Mary: Even as Christ by His own power rose from the grave, so by reason of His intervention the soul of Mary was reunited, after a short separation, with her body, and she was taken up body and soul into everlasting glory. It was fitting that this privilege should have been bestowed on the Mother of God. It would have been unbecoming for the immaculate flesh in which the divine body of Jesus was formed to have been allowed to corrupt in the grave. We shall rise one day also, O Blessed Mother. Grant in your great love for us that we may so imitate your example as to deserve to rise in glory and to be associated with you in everlasting happiness. #mary #christ #assumption
