I DON’T BELIEVE IT

 

The problem is when faith is lost

It isn’t that we believe in nothing

But rather the opposite is true

We start to believe in anything

THE FOURTEEN HOLY HELPERS – GILES

The Fourteen Holy Helpers are a group of saints venerated together in Roman Catholicism because their intercession was believed to be particularly effective against various diseases.

This group of "helpers in need" originated in 14th century Rhineland, due largely as a result of the epidemic that grew to become the Black Death, but their veneration spread almost as quickly as the plague

Saint Giles (c. 650 – c. 710) was a Christian hermit saint from Athens.

Whose life was centered in Provence and Septimania.

The tomb in Saint-Gilles-du-Gard, the abbey Giles was said to have founded, became a place of pilgrimage and a stop on the road that led from Arles to the pilgrim Way of St. James.

His patronage protects against plague, for a good confession, and for cripples, beggars, and blacksmiths. He is commemorated on September 1st.

ETERNITY

 

An atheist was arguing

With holy men

And questioning the existence

Of heaven

One holy man said

That if you are precise

And there is no afterlife

Or any paradise

Its not like you’ll be able

To tell anyone

But if we are right

Then your fucked son

I AM SO BLESSED

I am so blessed

To have a family

A caring network

Who look after me

 

I am so blessed

To have with me

A circle of friends,

Who are like family

 

I am so blessed

To have in every way

God in my life

Each and every day

Protect us every waking hour

And watch us through the night
