Catching flies—take hold of every thought. Capture.

(∼2 Corin. 10:5)

“We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”

Speak Lord your servant is listening? Marcus Aurelius. Why do what’s not necessary? What is necessary? What does necessary mean? Your job is to believe, how many times do I need to tell you? Love God and do what you please. Principle of Parsimony. Ockham’s Razor. Trim the fat. Efficiency. Effectiveness. Bold Humility. Transformation. It doesn’t matter what you call yourself, as long as you are called. It doesn’t matter how you pray, even “what” you pray, as long as you pray: Talk & Listen to ME. Mary had a little lamb can be very powerful. If prayed with a humble, poor, sincere heart. Sex every other day, everyday, go to the altar daily, I gave it to you, use it, I see everything and of course it pleases me to see you live, to express, to be free, to play in the garden—Two cats in Milan—in the moat (around the castle) playing, no, petting each other, no, being one. Why would going to the chapel, taking a walk, going to the museum, sitting silent, going to the gym, speaking to a trusted friend be any more important, and done more frequently than marital union expressed physically? Daily. Receive me daily. Daily carry your cross. Daily engage the Sacrament of Marriage. Maybe you need your own bedroom. The attic. A little room. Home chapel. Altar. Place to celebrate the sacraments. Celebrate the Sacrament of Marriage daily. Celebrate all the sacraments daily. Baptism. Reconciliation. Eucharist. Confirmation. Marriage. Orders. Healing.
