Congratulations on baby #5! So many believe these days that having children - especially more than two - is insanity. It probably is, to be sure! My fifth is 3 now, almost certainly the last due to circumstances and her smile and joy are beautiful, definitely a reminder of why we fight against this age of evil!
Tara! Tara! Tara! My God! This is the best assessment of this moment in time I have read in a long time! So pleased you wrote this. So pleased you shared it with us. So pleased you listen to the Spirit! Thank you. I could copy paste so many parts of this into this comment, but the whole is much greater than it’s parts. Will be sharing this with everyone I know! 🙏🙏🙏
Yes to this! (Also, the first thing I saw in that "New Generation" artwork was a giant blood clot, which of course made me think of you-know-what... Most precious blood of Jesus Christ, save us and the whole world.)
"I see no past disaster that resembles the insanity drowning so many minds."
When I find myself lying awake in the dark of the night, this is the thought that keeps me from sleep. I find it's a continual process of waking back into trusting the Divine, into letting go and letting God, remembering the world is truly in His hands, in His sight, that His view is wider and farther than mine. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear.
Thank you for writing this, and to Rod Dreher for sharing about it on his own Substack.
