Bonus question: what is your favorite holiday ritual?

My favorite will always be dressing up for Halloween. I still have a closet full of costumes and will dress up for any excuse.

We use to have a big dinner/watch a silly movie party on New Year's Eve but moving to a new area put the kabosh on it. We know 3 or 4 different folks that hold parties, so no one to invite . . .

I assure you, the evangelization will begin again soon. Michaelmas was fairly fruitful, even if I did not do very well during it. The habits of contemplation have ingrained themselves a little more fully.
For now, enjoy this shot from ohiorenfest Fantasy Weekend.

Community

Another subject near and dear to my heart. I have an unfortunately keen awareness of how badly the average person needs an uplifting community of like-minded people around them. I, personally, spent most of a decade speaking about four people a year, and spoke maybe 20 words a day. Years later, I am still unpacking the tremendous damage it did. Society will lie to you, and tell you that all the social interaction you need can be found online. Science and the Church can both prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is wrong. The Plague taught us all that this is wrong.
Risk something. Go outside. Find a tribe, find a group of people who want the best for you, who want you to be the best version of yourself possible. If you're not sure where to start, find your nearest Catholic Church.
You cannot win this War alone.

Friday.

Friday is not a celebration. Friday is not a day of debauchery and freedom from consequence. The world tells you to relax, drink and party to forget your troubles. It lies and tells you that you can escape them of you just take one more drink, one more dance, one more look at that stranger...
There is only one place that you can escape your troubles. Only one person who can take them away. On each Friday, we remember that he died for us. For our sins and for our salvation.
For this, we declare War.

Indolent

"It's just the way I am," is the defense of the coward.
The way I am is to sit on my couch, watch Netflix, and eat nachos, but I get up out of my warm bed every day and so my best to stay active, to sharpen my mind, my body and my soul. We are more than intertia, more than the path of least resistance, we are only afraid of our own potential. We watch videos and inspirational stories of people who dared great things and we dream of doing the same, but if we only dream, then we are the living dead.
To seek, to strive, to fail and rise again, to sharpen ourselves against the rigors of life, to embrace the salvific beauty in suffering and let it change us.
This is the beauty of War.
