Oh, it feels good to be on me feet again. I was not made to lie in a bed, hospital or otherwise, and my bones were itching to return to the city. And return I did.
Seems not much changed in my absense, save the arrival of this noblewoman. Lien le Storm. She is an interesting soul, that much can be seen. Reminds me of Jules in someways, other ways no. They both have an aptitude for trouble, that is quite evident. She’s become something of a daughter to me, which is interesting. I like her, she’s nice enough. An interesting woman and a challenge to be honest. I do like challenges. Oh and her soul, it has many little things to work out, love not the least of which. That seems common.. love is either perverted to politics or to pleasure. Our greatest sin really, for is God not Love? The love of a priest to his flock, the love of a mother to child, of a husband to a wife, these are things which come from God and yet, its become a commodity in our culture. People use it for everything it is not for: forming alliances, justifying evils, hedonistic searches for happiness, so many things..
And then there is the common men. I’ve been taking a lot of confessions lately, this is true. Gives one a lot of perspective, which is good. My theory with the last upholds. People are looking after God but in all the wrong places. They say they want to be happy, so they throw themselves to drugs, sex, parties, general debauchery. Its disturbing really. The soul of man cannot find peace save in God and all which is not God is dust. It is here for but a moment and then passes upon the winds of time. That which comes from God lasts into eternity. I am not saying life cannot be fun, but we have to have a base, a firm foundation, and the only one that shall do is the Lord and His Church. Such has been my advice of late, God grant that the souls that need it do hear.
