Good points! Mary was a temple virgin in the customs of the Jews of the time. More about that here:

We receive the Holy Spirit at Baptism and Confirmation. He works in us and gives us the gifts we need to live as God intends for us. However this presence of the Holy Spirit is not at the same level of the “True Presence” where we receive Christ in the Eucharist, body and blood.
It is also worth noting that receiving the Eucharist does not make us tabernacles. The Real Presence does not remain with us and we do not carry and bear Him in the same way that Mary did.
They were not forbidden from having children. They choose this of their own free will.
As Catholics, we do not believe that all believers “contain the very presence of God.” We believe Christ is fully manifest - body, blood, soul, and divinity - in the Eucharist that is offered at Mass and reposed in the tabernacle on the altar.
#[2] If I could flip that question around, why is it important to you to make the point that Mary was not a perpetual virgin?
It is the fundamental mark of her consecration to God. It is fitting for her dignity and integrity.

Mary was a perpetual virgin. Jesus was her only son.
June is the Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, to Thee I consecrate and offer up my person and my life, my actions, trials, and sufferings, that my entire being may henceforth only be employed in loving, honoring and glorifying Thee. This is my irrevocable will, to belong entirely to Thee, and to do all for Thy love, renouncing with my whole heart all that can displease Thee.
I take Thee, O Sacred Heart, for the sole object of my love, the protection of my life, the pledge of my salvation, the remedy of my frailty and inconstancy, the reparation for all the defects of my life, and my secure refuge at the hour of my death. Be Thou, O Most Merciful Heart, my justification before God Thy Father, and screen me from His anger which I have so justly merited. I fear all from my own weakness and malice, but placing my entire confidence in Thee, O Heart of Love, I hope all from Thine infinite Goodness. Annihilate in me all that can displease or resist Thee. Imprint Thy pure love so deeply in my heart that I may never forget Thee or be separated from Thee.
I beseech Thee, through Thine infinite Goodness, grant that my name be engraved upon Thy Heart, for in this I place all my happiness and all my glory, to live and to die as one of Thy devoted servants.
Amen.
-- St. Margaret Mary Alacoque 
Any change causes stress and stress means less eggs. If nutrition is right, they should go back to normal once the stress passes.
Client idea: make it possible to subscribe to multiple NIP-51 lists that track users by category so we can easily ignore spam, porn, sh**coiners, etc (or follow them if that’s your thing). It’s kind of hard to keep adding to your own event 10000 mute list now that Nostr is growing so fast. Maintaining these lists would benefit greatly from crowdsourcing. #[0] #[1] #[2]
Ah cool. Didn’t realize that dropped. Testing now.
Flip the silent mode switch and tap the unmute button in the bottom right corner. You probably should not have to flip the switch, but that’s how it behaves at the moment. #[2] is that intentional?
Correction… when the option to always show images is off.
Player rocks, but it does not seem to play nice when the option not to display images automatically is on.
First time venturing out since 2019.
I've sent "exclusive" notes to 242 different relays taken from https://nostr.watch/ with my profile. How many did you see?
37 (and I’m connected to 38 relays)
Have to agree. The universal feed seems to have reached new levels of weirdness in the last couple of weeks.
Been there. Inspiration during adoration.
I tend to read my nostr feed in the morning and again before bed. Too busy during the day. Although today is a holiday so schedules are all out the window.
