why does viva la vida by coldplay always go so hard. i hear those opening strings and instantly im a cynical and mournful king walking through his overthrown kingdom like oh shit I totally did used to rule the world!!! I used to roll the dice and feel the fear in my enemies’ eyes but now im literally sweeping the streets I used to roam!!!! idk what it is about this song but for some reason i can’t explain

hey @that-catholic-shinobi why did you make me realize for the first time why that song hits me the way it does

Ngl i didn’t realize this either until I said it and reblogged it however it makes sense.

The soul is aware of the fallen nature of man and mourns for its lost inheritance until it is reclaimed

Did you guys hear about that guy that died on the cross for you and your sins?

Luke 24:15-18

[15] And it happened that, while they were speculating and questioning within themselves, Jesus himself, drawing near, traveled with them.

[16] But their eyes were restrained, so that they would not recognize him.

[17] And he said to them, "What are these words, which you are discussing with one another, as you walk and are sad?"

[18] And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, responded by saying to him, "Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?"

they need to invent clubbing for boring sober people who don't like loud music or crowded group dancing. what's the "she should be at the club" for this hypothetical not-me demographic.

roundup of various common suggestions in the notes:

first good suggestion on this post in years, FINALLY true equality

One day in my life I want to host that sort of house gathering fancy and educated people used to do back then. I think they're called soirées? Like I'd have the piano opened for anyone who wants to play or sing, a table for the people who want to play board or card games, small circles of conversation, someone would bring their writings to share, someone would paint, we'd have food, we could put the babies sleeping in one of the rooms, the kids would be playing in the middle of it all and I'd walk around to appreciate the company of all the interesting people I collected like pokemons. One day I'll do it

feeding her stuffie must live on....

I trust God's divine orchestration in my life.

Like can you just imagine being a young man so zealous to serve God that you decide to make it your life's mission to destroy the legacy of a dead blasphemer and every one of his heretic followers, terrorizing them to the last man and woman, and then they have the gall to carry on in the towns you drove them to, so you vow to bring your witch hunt all over the world if that's what needs to happen, and then on the way you're suddenly surrounded with light brighter than the sun, and at the centre of that light is a Man, and He calls you by name, and you just know that He has the power to eviscerate you to ash, "Who are You Lord?" and then the living nuclear explosion tells you that He is the very one you have vehemently despised as a blasphemer, a dead one at that, but He's not dead, He's very much standing in front of you and He can only be the Son of God Himself, and you have killed and imprisoned and uprooted so many of His disciples, what will He do to you??? What awful divine vengeance will God wreak on the foremost of sinners, His enemy? He simply says, "Stop resisting Me, get up, I will tell you what to do." So you get up, struck stone blind and wondering what awful punishment awaits you, and you fast as you wait to see what Jesus, whom you have been persecuting, whose sheep you have been slaughtering, will do. And then?? One of those sheep you were on your way to slaughter comes to you! He prays for you in the name of Jesus Christ, he lays his hands on you and prays for your eyes to be opened, and they are!! What words could possibly come out of your mouth next but "baptize me"? What other response could you have to such love, mercy, forgiveness, hope, grace? That the chief of sinners would be met by the One he fought against as his bitterest enemy, not with reciprocated hatred and revenge, but love brighter than the sun and bigger than the universe, and the desire to redeem him, reward him, use him for God's kingdom, so that the eyes of many could be likewise opened? Oh my goodness
