More best days ahead (God willing) 🥰

Ordo amoris, or the order of affections, is the order of priorities we have: what is most important and what is least important:

Those who are closer to you deserve a more intense love
St. Thomas Aquinas writes:

>Accordingly we must say that friendship among blood relations is based upon their connection by natural origin, the friendship of fellow-citizens on their civic fellowship, and the friendship of those who are fighting side by side on the comradeship of battle. Wherefore in matters pertaining to nature we should love our kindred most, in matters concerning relations between citizens, we should prefer our fellow-citizens, and on the battlefield our fellow-soldiers. Hence the Philosopher says (Ethic. ix, 2) that “it is our duty to render to each class of people such respect as is natural and appropriate.“

Each friendship deserves priority in the matters that pertain specifically to them

>If however we compare union with union, it is evident that the union arising from natural origin is prior to, and more stable than, all others, because it is something affecting the very substance, whereas other unions supervene and may cease altogether. Therefore the friendship of kindred is more stable, while other friendships may be stronger in respect of that which is proper to each of them.

pancake be upon him 🤣

Grandma is on her way out but the stage is set for a priest to walk her through the process. I'm now hopeful for a deathbed conversion. I'm so thankful for all of your prayers. She wants to see my grandpa in heaven and your work is making that happen.

Imagine performing charitable works, but it actually improves the lives of Americans who are in need.

It can be done, and you don’t need big bureaucracies to do it for you.
