No backstory. No follow-up.
Just bread, wine, and a blessing.

Abram gives him a tenth of all he owns.

Then, he vanishes. Image

June is NOT the month of pride.
June IS the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

In this age of rebellion and sin, it terrifies the enemy.

This is how the Sacred Heart became the emblem of Christian resistance & why YOU should use it - a🧵✝️ Image In 1875, Pope Pius IX invited all catholics to consecrate themselves to the Sacred Heart.

He wanted it on banners, in homes, and on the shields of soldiers.

Why? Because the Sacred Heart was the answer to modern apostasy, and a sign of divine kingship. Image

“Jesus was pacifist.” No, He wasn't.

On Holy Monday, Jesus kicked the money lenders out of the temple with a whip. He overturned tables, and used His strength to punish those who profaned His Father's House.

This was no gentle rebuke, this was an example for us to follow - a🧵 Image Christ is also the God of the old testament.

He is gentle to the penitent, and calls them to repentance, but does not stand for unrepentant evil.

“My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.” - (Matthew 21,13) Image

June is not the month of pride.
June is the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ.

But what is the Sacred Heart?
Why is June consecrated to it?
And what power does this devotion hold?

Let’s dive in. The Sacred Heart of Jesus - a 🧵✝️❤️‍🔥 Image The devotion began in the 1670s, when Jesus appeared multiple times to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, a Visitation nun in France.

He showed her His Heart, burning, pierced, crowned, and said: “Behold this Heart which has so loved men, and is so little loved in return.”

Christ revealed his Heart as a symbol of his boundless love for humanity and emphasized the need for people to return his love through devotion and prayer.Image

Why did Jesus not say "I am God, worship me!"?

Well, He did. Just not in those words - a 🧵✝️

By: thechristianitypill Image

"Jesus never claimed He was God!!". This is a common objection brought up by all non-christians.

They often say: “Show me the exact verse where Jesus says the words ‘I am God, worship me.’”

That’s a lazy and shallow argument.

If that’s your standard, then let’s flip it: Show me the verse where Jesus says, word for word: “I am just a prophet, don’t worship me.”

You can’t.

So if you’re demanding exact wording, your whole argument falls apart.Image

Today is Ascension Day.

It begins with glory & ends with a cloud, a throne & the promise of His return - a 🧵✝️ Image After the Resurrection, Christ appeared to His disciples for forty days, instructing them about the Kingdom of God.

He ate with them. He showed them His wounds.
He was not a ghost, but glorified flesh: the same body that had hung upon the Cross. Image

When Saint Ignatius arrived in Rome, the Colosseum was full.

The gates opened. The lions were released.
The old bishop stood firm.

Torn apart limb by limb, he died in front of thousands, offering his life as a final show of faith in Christ.

This is his story - a 🧵✝️ Image In the early 2nd century, the Roman Empire was cracking down on Christians.

Why? Because they refused to bown down to false gods.

To worship Jesus alone was treason. And one man refused louder than the rest: Ignatius of Antioch. Image

They didn't mean to make The Matrix as a Christian story. But Providence wrote a deeper script.

It’s not just about machines, it’s about awakening to Christ in a world ruled by lies.

Here’s the hidden Christian meaning behind The Matrix - a 🧵✝️ ⬇️ Image
Image
"You’ve been living in a dream world, Neo.”

This is the voice of every prophet, saint, and Christ Himself.

We are born into a system of lies.
The Matrix is the world without God, designed to keep us asleep, distracted, enslaved by sin. Image

Today, we make the Sign of the Cross without thinking.
Forehead. Chest. Shoulder to shoulder.

“In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”

But this gesture is almost 2,000 years old, and it’s far more than a habit.

It’s a declaration of war - a 🧵✝️ Image The earliest written mention comes from Church Father Tertullian, writing around AD 200.

“In all our travels and movements, in all our coming in and going out (...) we mark our foreheads with the sign of the cross.”- De Corona, Ch. 3

By then, it was already a universal Christian act.Image
