Donald Trump's Declassification of Military Plans

As president, he has classification authority and can declassify documents. After he leaves the Oval Office, he cannot do so. So there is no question based on his private recorded conversations that he did not declassify these documents. President Biden is of course running for reelection. Donald Trump is the front runner to win the Republican nomination. Are you worried that half the country just will not see these charges as legitimate?

But more brilliant to O'Savior is the one approaching. Before the star proclaimed to the Magi, now the Father shows you to the world. So in a homily that a priest gave here at the monastery recently, he was talking about this about what happens at the Feast of the Nativity versus what happens in the in the Feast of Theophany. And he says, he said, you know, at the Feast of the Nativity. We're invited into the Holy family. We're invited into the participation of this family of Mary and Joseph and Jesus and that's this beautiful invitation. But at theophany, we're invited into the family of the Trinity, which is really what the Holy family is directing us towards. These familial relationships are meant to be an icon of the Trinity.

The Lord spoke these words to John. Come and baptize me, your Creator, O Prophet, for I enlighten and purify all people by grace. Place your hand on my head and do not doubt. O Prophet, allow it to be this way for now. For I have come to fulfill all justice.

I just I love the fervor with which the Lord speaks in these in these words that that have been prayerfully written. And I love this theme of light.
