Rev. Fr. Isidro Satou III, CSsR Cebu City, DH

Dear brothers and sisters, celebrating the martyrdom of St John the Baptist reminds us too, Christians of this time, that with love for Christ, for his words and for the Truth, we cannot stoop to compromises. The Truth is Truth; there are no compromises. Christian life demands, so to speak, the “martyrdom” of daily fidelity to the Gospel, the courage, that is, to let Christ grow within us and let him be the One who guides our thought and our actions. However, this can happen in our life only if we have a solid relationship with God. Prayer is not time wasted, it does not take away time from our activities, even apostolic activities, but exactly the opposite is true: only if we are able to have a faithful, constant and trusting life of prayer will God himself give us the ability and strength to live happily and serenely, to surmount difficulties and to witness courageously to him. St John the Baptist, intercede for us, that we may be ever able to preserve the primacy of God in our life. Thank you.
-- Excerpt from the General Audience of Pope Benedict XVI, August 29th, 2012

The Gospel reading for today, the Obligatory Memorial of the Passion of Saint John the Baptist, is Mk 6:17-29, The Death of John the Baptist. In the preconciliar form of the Mass, this is a Class III Feast Day; the Gospel reading is the same for both forms.
The liturgical commemoration of the Beheading of San Juan Bautista is almost as old as that celebrating his Nativity (June 24th), the latter among the oldest celebrations observed across all of Christendom. In Josephus' Antiquities (AD 93/94), his Passion at the behest of Herod Antipas was to eliminate a potential threat to his rule, an unjust execution that ultimately led to Herod's downfall.

Practicing for CBRN emergency response. Several of us are teamed up with teams from other hospitals under a DDC program. Today, we're focusing on chemical attacks; apparently the most common threats we're expected to face are tear gas and other riot control agents. Something to do with how the militarized police of our royalist neighbors use CS liberally.

@Edward N. Dalisay:

Whenever I see girls and boys selling lanterns on the street
I remember the child in the manger as he sleeps
Wherever there are people giving gifts, exchanging cards
I believe that Christmas is truly in their hearts

Let's light our Christmas trees for a bright tomorrow
Where nations are at peace, and all are one in God

Let's sing Merry Christmas and a happy holiday
This season may we never forget the love we have for Jesus
Let him be the one to guide us as another new year starts
And may the spirit of Christmas be always in our hearts

In every prayer and every song the community unites
Celebrating the birth of our savior Jesus Christ
Let love like that starlight on that first Christmas morn
Lead us back to the manger where Christ the child was born

So come let us rejoice, come and sing the Christmas carol
With one big joyful voice proclaim the name of the Lord

Let's sing Merry Christmas and a happy holiday
This season may we never forget the love we have for Jesus
Let him be the one to guide us as another new year starts
And may the spirit of Christmas be always in our hearts

Let's sing Merry Christmas and a happy holiday
The season may we never forget the love we have for Jesus
Let him be the one to guide us as another new year starts

@The Nationalist Bulletin: To quote the article:

There is a solution to this, barbaric, poor little nation, and that is what we call Phibetan Interventionalism. We provide them financing, industry, and military protection and all we ask is their subserbiance to the Great Phibetan Empire, one that many claim is gone but is slowly rising up. They will be under our industrious, moral empire whether they like it or not, and they will be better off for it.

Pals, just because the Kyrenaians have made off after the "Break-up Crisis" (gotta love historians... but better that then "Rug-Eater-Gate") it does not mean, that the UIS is a free for all and up for grabs. This whole "We take them over, whether they like it or not!"-schtick (a.k.a. bona-fide Imperialism) hinges on all partners of the UIS, on Mokastana, the Holy Marsh, Mervay, Devonta and Lamoni, but also us, not intervening and not cutting off the trade routes, which made Phibeta rich to begin with. ; )

Anywhoodle - got mail from Caja. Might make a trip to Cartreffa Island sometime soon, if only for a few days. Apparently, the Temple of Lodan Lir and Aranrot needs a few helping hands (the volunteer list alredy hangs, Brenda, and for the rest, I asked the Station Ships to hang one up with exactly enough bullet points for however many we can spare, pending approval by Fleet Command).

The Nationalist Editorial about the UIS is truly a shameful display of utter arrogance, a lack of empathy towards a member of the great region of Greater Dienstad and truly flies in the face of the Kingdom's values. Of course I know this is only one section of the good Kingdom of Phibeta, does not surely represent the entirety of them. The University of Laxony ought to consider disciplinary measures against a staff member who so blatantly spreads such vile drivel. And rather ironic his calls for an empire when his nation that went to war (justly so) with us to defend our neighbor Katase and of course stop our rampant slave trade.

@HRYRH Princess Peri: Reminds me of some mask-off moments coming from putative ManilaBots in local online spaces. Fantasies of engaging in la mission civilisatrice masquerading as a desire to reunify the Old Islands, propaganda painting us Visayans as soft and decadent and the Reds--no love for Reds of every stripe, but still--as fundamentally anathema to what it calls "peace and order," neo-feudal apologia praising the notion of what it calls "Rule by Elite."

@Guided Missile Maiden: A key issue with the imperialist mindset is the denial of agency; it presumes only two kinds of parties, those with power, who are in charge and will exercise it as they so please, and their lessers, whose place is solidly beneath them.

On a more personal note, apparently the team I'm part of will be flying to Mervay later tonight. Something about the possibility of a client expanding into the country, that's the most I can say.

As for why they are able to - curiously enough for an absolute monarchy, the Sultanate has a free press.

@RH Clifford Sellers (Nat.): No, we do not agree. The people of the UIS chose to live their lives that way, we, and that means both Phibeta, the Free Lands, Kyrenaia or whoever else, do not have the right to force our way of living upon them. They might not live by ways, which we appeal to us, but they appeal to them and they have more then enough opportunity to change them - what does it tell you, that they haven't?

I know I'm 2 weeks late, but I would like to congratulate the Crabaiaian people for overthrowing the oppressive OPLA Regime. I don't condone the fact that the revolution that overthrew it was violent and killed upwards of 900,000 people but at least finally, the marginalized people of Crabaiaia can finally experience the freedoms that they have desired for the 30 year period which those rights were stolen from them by the pseudo-democratic administrations of the 90s, 2000s, 2010s, 2020, and 2021. So, good work, to you all. For the 900,000 people that were killed, I hope you all rest in peace no matter what side of the revolution you were on, your deaths were violent and painful, but they were definitely not in vain, may you all rest in peace. For the 30,000,000 people that were otherwise detained or injured, I hope you can all recover physically and emotionally from the pain inflicted on you.

Where Jebke Nayan, the Prime Minister, has been introducing laws that will increase her powers and oppress the country's minorities. Just recently, she passed an act that will give her the right to decide who's "unsafe for the community" and forcing those unsafe people into segregated communities isolated from the rest of the country, most of those "dangerous" people have been nice guys of poor financial backgrounds.

@RH Clifford Sellers (Nat.), @Guided Missile Maiden The only way the UIS could properly industrialise is solely through the free market, the Duchess or whoever is in charge needs to get the state out of the economy. If this is already the case then there is no demand for industrialisation and the UIS is not ready to advance.
