I) Reminder on this day of commemoration, August 26, 1944, parade on the Champs Elysées of the French and Allies 

(except those who were unfortunately deprived of it by particular unfair racial considerations...)

a victory at what price in blood, and for which the current corruption of France and Paris makes it terrible contempt. 

What price will we possibly have to pay again for a France of true justice and true freedom?

II) A story of the Templars: warrior guardians of the Catholic Faith,

betrayed, and persecuted by a King and a Church in need of power: this is what a historian revealed in 2001...:

To vote... on this day of European elections. Recovery of a right and duty as a French citizen among other associated rights and duties which were unfairly, illegally blocked from me by an organized criminal gang.

Justice and truth will be done in due time.

Long live France, Long live the Republic...

To be continued with the elections scheduled for June 30 and July 7 following the dissolution of the national assembly decreed by the President of the French Republic MR Macron.

A reminder : the right to vote was given to French women in 1944... some rights seem still fragile we must be careful and keep righteous fights. 

A whole day laughing with great training in rigology, laugh yoga, emotional intelligence exercices.

with Ecole du rire internationale and animator Aymeric Astier.. 

Laugh is good for health, I really recommand also those worshops and Trainings

"Short" version: There is a Christian story that paints a somewhat positive picture of the wolf. In the story of St. Francis and the Wolf, the town of Gubbio, Italy, is attacked by a wolf.
St. Francis of Assisi, who lives in Gubbio, goes into the hills and asks the wolf to stop harming the townspeople and their livestock. While he was very attentive to animals, St. Francis learned that wolves did not attack animals.

History, religions, tales, myths of the World to be shared, lessons: the parable of the "Good Samaritan"

The parable features a traveler, who is attacked and left for dead by bandits.

A kohen (priest) and a Levite, both Jews, embodying the religious orthodoxy of the time, pass by him and do not bother with him, out of respect for their obligation to serve in the temple.

But a Samaritan, the representative of a population that the Jews consider to be impious, shows himself capable of compassion to the seriously wounded stranger who is not of his religion.

This Samaritan will give his time and money to save his life.

Nb in photos, a history of Art through the centuries...: stained glass window The traveller attacked by the bandits: stained glass window of the Good Samaritan in the cathedral of Chartres (thirteenth century).

History, religion, Women: celebration of the mystic Saint Teresa of Avila who inspired VERLAINE...

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th%C3%A9r%C3%A8se_d%27Avila#Appendices

Teresa of Avila (in Spanish Teresa de Ávila), The influence of her writings, testimony to her mystical experience, makes her a major figure in Christian spirituality. She is recognized as a saint and doctor of the Church by the Catholic Church.

Thérèse of Avila deeply inspired Paul Verlaine in his work of conversion, and in particular for the collection Sagesse (“O my God you have wounded me with love”). She was for him the very example of “the woman of genius” (Voyage en France par un Français).

In 1951, Salvador Dalí painted his Allegory of the Soul, the full title of which is “Alegory of the Soul after Santa Teresa de Avila - the surrealist worm metamorphoses into the mistic butterfly”.

She was appointed doctor of the University of Salamanca and has held the honorary title of mayor of Alba de Tormes since 1963. In 2012, his writings were published in the Pléiade collection.

His influence on modern philosophy (notably the famous Cartesian cogito) is now better known.

She was also persecuted by men of the Church, at the time of the unfortunately famous Dominican manual Malleus Maleficarum.

The Oak Tree

A mighty wind blew night and day.
It stole the Oak Tree’s leaves away.
Then snapped its boughs
and pulled its bark
until the Oak was tired and stark.
But still the Oak Tree held its ground
while other trees fell all around.
The weary wind gave up and spoke,
How can you still be standing Oak?”

The Oak Tree said, I know that you
can break each branch of mine in two,
carry every leaf away,
shake my limbs and make me sway.
But I have roots stretched in the earth,
growing stronger since my birth.
You’ll never touch them, for you see
they are the deepest part of me.
Until today, I wasn’t sure
of just how much I could endure.
But now I’ve found with thanks to you,
I’m stronger than I ever knew.

History, war, religions, lessons: the battle rosary distributed during the 1st World War by the American army to its soldiers.
the Miraculous Medal, the Medal of St. Benedict, the Cross of Forgiveness. It is apparently the only rosary that is a source of indulgences if one embraces the Cross.
He must receive 3 Blessings.

Another history lesson during World War II was the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

Let's stay safe and in Peace as possible.
