We Need To Sage The World

 

A few days ago I asked Grok to create a photo of the earth being smudged with Sage. Whenever my house feels heavy with whatever bad juju is around or the people living inside it seem to be dealing with something I light some sage and walk around trying to cleanse all corners, windows and when possible the people or their normal resting space. 

Last week was heavy! A heavy that I was having difficulty shaking and a feeling of darkness that I was feeling in my core. 

Between Iryna Zarutska being murdered on a train in North Carolina while not a single person sitting around her thought to treat her like a human being and allowed her to die alone on a dirty floor. Then another school shooting this one happening in Colorado and finally the assassination of Charlie Kirk I was having a very difficult time. 

My heart aches! My mind is in overdrive and I have cried off and on for days. 

I pray daily, I mediate on the rosary and I find myself often asking God for help in understanding how we can do better.

Four years ago, 13-year-old Finn killed his abductor and escaped, becoming the sole survivor of The Grabber. But true evil transcends death … and the phone is ringing again.  Four-time Academy Award® nominee Ethan Hawke returns to the most sinister role of his career as The Grabber seeks vengeance on Finn (Mason Thames) from beyond the grave by menacing Finn’s younger sister, Gwen (Madeleine McGraw).  As Finn, now 17, struggles with life after his captivity, the headstrong 15-year-old Gwen begins receiving calls in her dreams from the black phone and seeing disturbing visions of three boys being stalked at a winter camp known as Alpine Lake.  Determined to solve the mystery and end the torment for both her and her brother, Gwen persuades Finn to visit the camp during a winter storm. There, she uncovers a shattering intersection between The Grabber and her own family’s history. Together, she and Finn must confront a killer who has grown more powerful in death and more significant to them than either could imagine. From returning visionary writer-director Scott Derrickson, Black Phone 2 is written again by Derrickson & C. Robert Cargill, based on characters created by Joe Hill.
