As a result of stabbing Christ, Longinus is said to have suffered for years. One story claims that he was subjected to a nightly mauling by a lion. Because of the suffering Longinus experienced, and his repentance for the act of stabbing Jesus, some Christian faiths, including the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church, refer to him as Saint Longinus.

If we’re going to find our way out of shame and back to each other, vulnerability is the path and courage is the light. To set down those lists of what we’re supposed to be is brave.

Daring Greatly
Brené Brown
Because of the very nature of the world as it is today, our children receive in school a heavy load of scientific and analytic subjects, so it is in their reading for fun, for pleasure, that they must be guided into creativity. These are forces working in the world as never before in the history of mankind for standardization, for the regimentation of us all, or what I like to call making muffins of us, muffins all like every other muffin in the muffin tin. This is the limited universe, the drying, dissipating universe that we can help our children avoid by providing them with “explosive material capable of stirring up fresh life endlessly.
