Yesterday was the 800 year anniversary of the transitus of St. Francis. Surrounded by his friars, he peacefully transitioned into eternity reciting Psalm 142, and according to Celano his last words were “Welcome, my sister death.” St. Francis, pray for us.

Oldest image depicting St. Francis, in a Benedictine monetary be often retreated to, it was drawn before his death.

The Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi
LORD;
make me an instrument of Thy peace:
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much Seek to be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive, It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life:

He is risen, Alleluia! Happy Easter everyone. May the Lord continue to renew our faith and show us the true meaning of Easter throughout the year. I did not attend Mass for the first time in 7 years, but I attended ceremony and spent the Great Vigil in God’s beautiful creation.

Long time no post…. Off to church… it’s hard being involved in cultural activities and being an active member of a church. But we show up how and as we can… tired of sacrificing one for the other. Also, yes flowers in Lent since I’m reading about the Dry Bones! 🦴

Spent the day exploring Fort Bowie which is now managed by the NPS. Someone mentioned massive layoffs throughout the organization and the administration trying to erase history… which of course is in the news here and there but added to the sadness of this place linked to so much cruelty.

I swear they think getting rid of the data means the problem doesn’t exist. 🫩 Lord help us be good stewards on this very good Mother Earth you’ve formed us from, and rekindle in us a connection to Her that we are increasingly losing. Allow us to see clearly our dependence on Her.

Not that I know of. Anglo-Catholics tend to disagree on certain things… I think there are some things that cancel AC membership though, but I may be a hard ass. I like “Living the Magnificat: Affirming Catholicism in a Broken World” it’s about affirming catholicism from Anglicans & Catholic authors

010

Robin @its-robin.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

So…. on top of thinking 5 is super important to informing Christology and Mariology, which is very loaded, but also that all of these things also inform Anglican social doctrine (or Catholic social teaching) which I think is also very important to the sacramental/communal nature baked into ACism.

020

Robin @its-robin.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

4. (con’t) Lex orandi Lex credendi 5. The authority of tradition, early church fathers, and scripture (big stickler on this one, because many people say they believe 1-4 but not 5. I argue you can’t truly believe 1-4 without 5. It also informs our Christology & Mariology.

Robin @its-robin.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

1. Sacraments - high sacramental theology (7 sacraments, real presence, incarnational in that physical matter transmits grace) 2. Apostolic - apostolic succession and historic episcopate 3. Catholic - Ecclecia Anglicana is a historic church not a Protestant sect 4 Our liturgy shapes our belief

Robin @its-robin.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

Oh, yes that makes sense! lol I wish I spoke Portuguese.

Robin @its-robin.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

You don’t have to pray it at all actually… Anglo-catholicism does have a high Mariology, including her perpetual virginity, dormition/assumption, and her sinlessness, but it does not require her intercession at all. 😉 But Pius V didn’t write the prayer you think is “stained.”

I just want to say again: Anglocatholicism is NOT in vestments, music, or esthetics. It’s 100% in the theology. You can have a charismatic charism and have an Anglo-catholic ethos. You can also be a high dry American Missal substitutionary atonement with a fiddle back, ad orientem & Protestant. ⚓️

Rosary, and the Mass… not much could have been better today. I love my church and the people who make up the body here. Small, but mighty. I pray my gut is right that we are coming to a revival in the mainline.

If non-Catholics would like to pray the Rosary, but feel uncomfortable with the 53 “Hail Mary’s” just replace them with the Jesus Prayer “Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” The rest of it is made up of mysteries in the life of Jesus that reveal Him to us as the Christ.🫶🏼

A Rosary for the Victims of DHS Agencies for the Rosary being prayed tomorrow before the Requiem Mass for the victims of ICE. I notice all the glaring errors in format now, but too tired to change. Pray with us from near or far.

Sorrowful Mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary

[black and white image of Our Lady of Guadalupe]

In Memory of All Victims of DHS Agencies

St. Mary's Episcopal Church
6501 N 39th Avenue
Phoenix, AZ 85019

+ In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Opening Prayers are said
First Sorrowful Mystery: The Agony in the Garden
"He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down, and prayed, Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, not my will but yours be done? And to strengthen him, an angel from heaven appeared to him. He was in such agony and he prayed so fervently that his sweat became like drops of blood falling on the ground!" — Luke 22:41-44
Reflection:
Jesus enters the garden knowing suffering is coming. He feels fear, loneliness, and anguish so deep that He sweats blood.
We pray for all who live in constant fear—those who go to sleep unsure if they will be taken from their families, those who feel hunted, unseen, or disposable. We remember Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and all who have suffered or died under systems that treat human lives as expendable.
Lord, you know the terror of waiting for harm to come. Stay with all who feel abandoned, and give us the courage not to turn away from their suffering.
Second Sorrowful Mystery: The Scourging at the Pillar
Scripture:
"Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged." — John 19:1
Reflection:
Jesus is bound and beaten. His body is wounded again and again, stripped of dignity.
We pray for all whose bodies and spirits have been harmed by violence, neglect, or cruelty—especially those abused by institutions meant to protect life. We remember those injured, detained, or broken by harsh policies and indifference.

Christ, in your wounded body we see every person whose humanity has been denied.
Heal what has been torn, and soften the hearts of those who inflict harm.
Third Sorrowful Mystery: The Crowning with Thorns Scripture:
"The soldiers wove a crown out of thorns and placed it on his head, and clothed him in a purple cloak, and they came to him and said, 'Hail, King of the Jews!" And they struck him repeatedly." —John 19:2-3
Reflection:
Jesus is mocked, humiliated, and treated as less than human.
We pray for all who are ridiculed, dehumanized, or reduced to labels—called "illegal"
"criminal," or "other." We remember how words and power can wound as deeply as fists.
Lord Jesus, crowned with thorns, you stand with every person shamed or silenced.
Teach us to speak truth with compassion and to resist systems that profit from humiliation and fear.
Fourth Sorrowful Mystery: The Carrying of the Cross
Scripture:
"They pressed into service a passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, to help carry his cross."
ーMark 15:21
Reflection:
Jesus stumbles under the weight of the cross, helped only briefly by a stranger.
We pray for those crushed by burdens they did not choose: families torn apart, children forced to grow up too fast, communities living under constant threat. We remember Renee, Alex, and all victims whose crosses were made heavier by injustice.
Christ, help us to be like Simon-to step in, to share the weight, to refuse to walk past suffering when we see it.

Fifth Sorrowful Mystery: The Crucifixion
Scripture:
"When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him... esus cried out in a loud voice, Father, into your hands I commend my spirit; and when he had said this he breathed his last." — Luke 23:33, 46
Reflection:
Jesus is killed by the violence of the state, abandoned, and mourned by those who loved Him.
We pray for all who have died because systems valued control over compassion and power over mercy. We entrust Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and all victims of injustice into the hands of our God of Love.
Jesus, unjustly executed, you know the suffering of innocent death. May your mercy receive the dead, comfort the grieving, and awaken us to the sacred dignity of every human life.
Hail Holy Queen
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy!
Hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope!
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thy eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
V. Pray for us O Holy Mother of God
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
A Concluding Prayer is Said

Treyvon Martin would have been 31 years old today, had George Zimmerman stopped to ask a teenager walking in the rain if he needed a ride home. Instead he stalked Treyvon in the dark, and gunned him down for the crime of walking, in a hoodie, in the rain, while being black.

“This is my body, broken for you.”

Communion
There's no bread.
The bakers have gone into hiding.
The seats at the table are empty.
The Twelve are out marching with the thousands.
The streets are filled with a new song.
Only Judas sits at Target Plaza, counting his silver, while Pontius Pilate issues a carefully-worded statement.
Meanwhile, the centurions have quotas to fill.
But out on the streets there's a Communion.
Jesus takes the city in his hands and says,
"This is my body, broken for you"

Anguishing over where He is. I’m not saying my anguish did this. I’m saying that what God did through the ruling of Judge Biery was show the world His Word, and people like me, that God is still moving hearts to speak loudly the Word and Gospel, in service to Him and those created in His Image.

Our God is faithful… seeing this photo of Judge Biery’s ruling made me weep in what I can only say was the gift of tears from the Holy Spirit. To be honest I have been asking God where He is in the lives of our judges and representatives, begging Him to change hearts, to speak.

Signature of Judge Fred Biery. It has a photo of Liam Rodriguez in his blue “bunny hat” scared and crying being held by his backpack by a federal agent. Below the photo Judge Biery cites two scriptures: Matthew 19:14 and John 11:35.

I’d like to acknowledge my home state for some positive news. Democrats defeated a MAGA in the US House run off election, which isn’t surprising for that seat. What is surprising: a Democrat won against a MAGA in State House District 9, a district that Mango Mussolini won by 17 points in 2024.
