Politics and Media in Belize

It is sad to see the graphic nature of politics displayed openly in Belizean Media. When election time comes around, they bombard the streets with red and blue shirts, flyers, posters, and anything either party can get their hands on.

However, this for some is entertaining and fruitful; I find it very uncomfortable. The reason I feel so is that I have friends who support both parties, and I hate siding with either. This problem comes on a personal level.
On a social level however, the political “claws” extend around this time, and because of that many people say, or do many hurtful things to people, which eventually leads to enemies.  
I propose that we not cease these acts on a whole; we are all free, and may voice our opinions, but we can tone down the passion just a little so we do not hurt others with our opinions, and enforce our opinions unto them.

I HOPE YOU FOUND THIS POST FRUITFUL, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION I DROPPED A LINK BELLOW, CHECK IT OUT, AND LEAVE A COMMENT.

    It is interesting though to listen to the different political views . Respect for each other should take precedence over differing views, dislike for a candidate and all other aspects that come with politics .

    Hey JUSTINE! I strongly agree with you. I believe that the problem has a solution and that solution is us. Thanks for this blog.

PRAY OR DIE!

I read it.  Fr. Antonio's book was great. It was an easy read, and it provided me with a lot of help when I was struggling to start praying again. I still need to work on the habit of daily prayer but through things in this book I have a deeper appreciation for my prayer life. Thank you, Fr. Tony, I only wish I read it sooner. If you want to watch a series on the book with the author himself, I put a link below.  10 Episode Series of Pray or Die

Did I complete 2024's goals?

Somewhat.  Here is the link to this year's goals. I put off the first goal most of the year. Thankfully I had mentioned it to Ms. Ashley, and she gave me the option to take RCIA classes in Belize City or talk to Fr. Tony to take them in Benque. I chose to talk to Fr. Tony and do it in Benque. He said I could take the classes with Ms. Anselma. So, for a number of weeks we have been meeting to read this book: Finding my vocation was not as easy. I talked to a volunteer here in Benque, an aspirant for the priesthood, and he told me about volunteering in the Caribbean. He saw the need for fathers, but he saw the need for priests was more. Also, from watching Pints with Aquinas I heard that your vocation is found when you feel your truest self. This year Father Tony gave me a book on prayer to read and following its guide and praying daily and going to daily Mass for a time I felt like my truest self. I felt more fulfilled than when I was in a relationship. That relationship ended late...

Lent 2025

As we approach lent, we must think of three things: prayer, almsgiving, and fasting.  Prayer - According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC), prayer is "the raising of one's mind and heart to God" or "the petition of good things from God in accord with His will," With Ms. Anselma in an RCIA class we spoke of how prayer could feel like we are trying to go around God's will and make our own happen. This definition from the Catechism clarifies it "the petition of good things from God in accord with His will," This lent I will continue to pray the rosary daily, but I will pray one in the morning (6:00 a.m.) and one in the evening (3:00 p.m.). Almsgiving The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) defines almsgiving as giving to the poor or performing acts of charity. I always struggle with this. I had to google ideas for almsgiving. I feel like donating clothes but people my size aren't as common...or possibly needy. Spending time teaching...
