The beauty of littleness
September 18
"If a little flower could speak, it seems to me that it would tell us quite simply all that God has done for it, without hiding any of its gifts. It would not, under the pretext of humility, say that it was not pretty, or that it had not a sweet scent, that the sun had withered its petals, or the storm bruised its stem, if it knew that such were not the case." -St. Thérèse of Lisieux

Photo by Dushawn Jovic on UnsplashA reader recently asked the question: “Are Labubu dolls demonic or is it a rumor created on the internet? I allowed my daughter to buy one. And now I’m wondering if I should throw it out. And if so, do I spread holy salts and water around my house?”
The question of whether or not Christians should buy into the designer Labubu doll craze due to rumors of its demonic origin has been circulating on the Internet for months now. Some say it’s inspired by the Mesopotamian demon Pazuzu and therefore demonic in origin, but the creator claims the idea for the dolls comes from Nordic mythology. So who’s right?

What's Wrong With Praying in Color?
DB asks: “I recently had a person ask me a question that I need a bit of help with. I do believe its New Age. She states that a woman she knows told her when she prays she sees colors. The woman who brought this to me said it sent up a red flag to her that this woman may have participated in New Age.”
