That it makes so much sence what you say about this church that being called 2 things in one place can not possibly be off anything other than possibly a trap. Look how missiah come about. Threw the means of having 2 given names one, being I'm here for you but only if your there for your self first. I'm not there for my self you have that understanding of me its a gift from above that I want to bring home so to help that I can help. I don't want excuses in me or lies because its the worst kind of thing there is that will eat me out alive. Once there gone in me I can see threw more there will be no traps no hidden secrets no more closed doors. Nothing is impossible for me now possibility I shall explore. Be to be is my focus now doing what's good or right is still high. If is just that it has no meaning without the bad so duality no welcome nor I go out to play here for you but only if your there for your self first. I'm not there for my self you have that understanding of me its a gift from above that I want to bring home so to help that I can help. I don't want excuses in me or lies because its the worst kind of thing there is that will eat me out alive. Once there gone in me I can see threw more there will be no traps no hidden secrets no more closed doors. Nothing is impossible for me now possibility I shall explore. Be to be is my focus now doing what's good or right has no welcome inside my temple it can stay out at the door. Night yeah baby I hope we can see this from a sence of a new beginning with no argues no misunderstanding because I can n will just walk out n leave it all my temple it can stay out at the door. Night yeah baby I hope we can see this from a sence of a new beginning with no argues no misunderstanding because I can n will just walk out n leave it all before it goes sour and raw. Love you yeah baby I'm done can't say no more. Rewrite my life now how I want it how I need it how I would love for it to explore into that witch I know deep down in me is there that's wanting more. Peace love and unity. Freedom Massiah The Wickedness that I brought I've paid off I've served it fully I've not lost my integrity that done doing my best with what I've become off myself being spirit mind movement of the body. I'll guess that one part off my 3 main relating parts , home I know for that of my cosmic family this is just a made up story it's not based on any hard fact or evedience what so...

🌍 Review: Visiting Vatican City

Visiting Vatican City, the smallest independent country in the world, is an unforgettable experience. Despite its tiny size, it holds some of the most iconic treasures of art, architecture, and spirituality.

Atmosphere & First Impressions The moment you step into St. Peter’s Square, the grandeur of the colonnades designed by Bernini immediately strikes you. The square feels both majestic and welcoming, often filled with pilgrims, tourists, and locals. The energy is vibrant yet deeply spiritual.

St. Peter’s Basilica This is the heart of Vatican City and truly breathtaking. The scale is immense—Michelangelo’s dome, Bernini’s Baldacchino, and the Pietà sculpture are highlights. Even if you’re not religious, the artistry and craftsmanship are awe-inspiring. Climbing up to the dome rewards you with a panoramic view of Rome.

The Vatican Museums They are massive, almost overwhelming, but a must-see. The collection ranges from ancient Egyptian artifacts to Renaissance masterpieces. The Sistine Chapel, with Michelangelo’s ceiling fresco and The Last Judgment, is often the highlight—standing beneath it feels surreal.

Swiss Guards & Traditions The colorful uniforms of the Swiss Guards add charm and history to the place. Their presence reminds you that this is not only a tourist attraction but also the functioning headquarters of the Catholic Church.

Practical Tips • Go early or book skip-the-line tickets; crowds can be intense. • Dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered) for St. Peter’s Basilica. • A guided tour is worth it to fully understand the art and history. • Allow at least half a day, though art lovers could spend a full day in the museums alone.

Overall Experience Visiting Vatican City feels like stepping into a living museum of faith, history, and art. It’s both overwhelming and inspiring, and it leaves a lasting impression. Whether you go for religious reasons, art appreciation, or curiosity, it’s one of those destinations that lives up to its reputation.

⭐ Rating: 5/5 – A must-visit...

It is most difficult, even for the very keenest theologians, at one and the same time to commend to the people the abundance of pardons and [the need of] true contrition. True contrition seeks and loves penalties, but liberal pardons only relax penalties and cause them to be hated, or at least, furnish an occasion [for hating them]. Apostolic pardons are to be preached with caution, lest the people may falsely think them preferable to other good works of love. Christians are to be taught that the pope does not intend the buying of pardons to be compared in any way to works of mercy. Christians are to be taught that he who gives to the poor or lends to the needy does a better work than buying pardons; Because love grows by works of love, and man becomes better; but by pardons man does not grow better, only more free from penalty. Christians are to be taught that he who sees a man in need, and passes him by, and gives [his money] for pardons, purchases not the indulgences of the pope, but the indignation of God. Christians are to be taught that unless they have more than they need, they are bound to keep back what is necessary for their own families, and by no means to squander it on pardons. Christians are to be taught that the buying of pardons is a matter of free will, and not of commandment. Christians are to be taught that the pope, in granting pardons, needs, and therefore desires, their devout prayer for him more than the money they bring. Christians are to be taught that the pope's pardons are useful, if they do not put their trust in them; but altogether harmful, if through them they lose...

The Pope occasionally waves from the window of his private residence, which is part of the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City. This act is often spontaneous and less formal than the Urbi et Orbi blessing from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica. The private residence of the Pope includes several rooms and living quarters within the Apostolic Palace, including windows overlooking St. Peter's Square. When the Pope appears at one of these windows and waves to the crowds gathered below, it is usually a moment of connection and interaction with the visitors in St. Peter's Square. These informal appearances can happen on various occasions, such as Sundays when the Pope may deliver a brief address or offer a blessing, or during special events or celebrations. The Pope might also appear at the window to greet pilgrims, acknowledge significant moments, or simply to show his appreciation for those who have gathered to see him.

We were walking around on a Sunday- in town for 3 nights - and decided to walk up to the Vatican. Very busy as we arrived, but we bustled into the square and within a few minutes people started cheering. The pope was making his Sunday midday address. And we'd just stumbled in like the ignorant tourists we were. Amazing experience out of nowhere and would strongly recommend. I do not speak Italian so you better believe I did not understand a single 1 word he spoke but very cool nonetheless Video or it didn't happen
