"You are the light of the world. A city built on a mountain cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket; instead it is set on a stand, where it gives light to all in the house. Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in heaven."
Matthew 5:14-16
"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
John 1:5
“We are slow to master the great truth that even now Christ is, as it were, walking among us, and by His hand, or eye, or voice, bidding us to follow Him. We do not understand that His call is a thing that takes place now. We think it took place in the Apostles' days, but we do not believe in it; we do not look for it in our own case."
John Henry Newman
"Do not fear, for I have redeemed you,
I have called you by name; you are mine."
Isaiah 43:1
"‘Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord', will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only one who does the will of my Father in heaven. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and accomplish great things in your name?' Then I will declare to them, 'I do not know you. Depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.'”
Matthew 7:21-23
"They will be moved, to the sound of beautiful music, at Jesus’s sufferings, but His Cross, the reality of His Cross, will horrify them. They want it all out of gold, bathed in light, costly and of little weight; pleasant to see, hanging from a woman’s beautiful throat."
Léon Bloy
The transfer of wealth continues, skimming off of the vitality of the nation for the greed of a relative few.
Bully was feeling his oats today, and working that wash and rinse.
The VIX fell.
The Dollar fell.
Gold and silver fell.
Tomorrow must be a precious metal option expiration on the Comex.
They were buying up those regional banks today.
I have come to the conclusion that people on the further ends of the ideological spectrum become willfully foolish, because they have to twist reality to suit their preconceived notions and biases.
This goes equally well for left and right.
Have a pleasant evening.
