It’s so easy to forget the schoolgirl, the shop keeper, and the farmer. The people like us, who wish they could just feed their families and watch their children grow in peace. We must not forget.

One more reason for us to start the daily rosary on Nostrnest.
That's a cool idea. I like it. Might be hard to be on at the same time.
I listened to The Daily podcast episode called "Voices of Gaza" yesterday and hearing them describe their experience... One of the women I could tell was such a bubbly, happy person in her everyday life outside of this conflict.
Everyday people dying because of geopolitics.
As long as there has been man, there has been war. As a Christian, I dream of the glorified Kingdom of Christ, and an end to earthly kingdoms and rulers and petty squabbles.
But believer or not, we can stand together in memory of those lost, and in solidarity with those who suffer. I’ve long thought about what my opinion would be about this conflict, and realized today that the world doesn’t need another opinion. The best thing I can do is pray for the suffering.
I find it impossible to have an opinion. How can I? I have not spent a day in either’s shoes. I know what I am capable of. Of what all humans are capable of and to say I would choose different fails to acknowledge what drives a person to hatred and to commit acts of violence. I think of the children and the trauma. There is no post traumatic stress, because there is no post. There is just trauma. It will take generations for these children to heal, but they will.
