This is Us of-a's other nation. This was our first attempt at a region for conservatives. We've moved onto the Land Of Conservatives now. We're mostly keeping it alive as a memorial of our first attempt, and maybe an eventually trying to revive this place.

Today is the 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐞𝐧𝐭

In the name of the Father, ✠
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit,
𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗻.

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲'𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 is from the book of the prophet 𝐙𝖊𝖕𝖍𝖆𝖓𝖎𝖆𝖍 1:7-18
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

7 Be silent before the Lord God!
For the day of the Lord is at hand;
the Lord has prepared a sacrifice,
he has consecrated his guests.
8 And on the day of the Lord’s sacrifice
I will punish the officials and the king’s sons
and all who dress themselves in foreign attire.
9 On that day I will punish
all who leap over the threshold,
who fill their master’s house
with violence and fraud.

10 On that day, says the Lord,
a cry will be heard from the Fish Gate,
a wail from the Second Quarter,
a loud crash from the hills.
11 The inhabitants of the Mortar wail,
for all the traders have perished;
all who weigh out silver are cut off.
12 At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps,
and I will punish the people
who rest complacently[a] on their dregs,
those who say in their hearts,
‘The Lord will not do good,
nor will he do harm.’
13 Their wealth shall be plundered,
and their houses laid waste.
Though they build houses,
they shall not inhabit them;
though they plant vineyards,
they shall not drink wine from them.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱
14 The great day of the Lord is near,
near and hastening fast;
the sound of the day of the Lord is bitter,
the warrior cries aloud there.
15 That day will be a day of wrath,
a day of distress and anguish,
a day of ruin and devastation,
a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and thick darkness,
16 a day of trumpet blast and battle cry
against the fortified cities
and against the lofty battlements.

17 I will bring such distress upon people
that they shall walk like the blind;
because they have sinned against the Lord,
their blood shall be poured out like dust,
and their flesh like dung.
18 Neither their silver nor their gold
will be able to save them
on the day of the Lord’s wrath;
in the fire of his passion
the whole earth shall be consumed;
for a full, a terrible end
he will make of all the inhabitants of the earth.

𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: The great day of the Lord is near

First of all, even I am scared of the bible sometimes. But I did say this once in this daily, we should not be scared because we are called by God to be with Him. And why would we be scared if we did not do anything bad? God is merciful will bring us mercy. But God is also just and he will bring justice to the oppressed.

Personally, I guess I got a bit too complacent to be Joyful this Lent. Lent is my favourite of all the seasons even though it is a time to be sorrowful. Æsthetically, I like the colour purple. And liturgically, I love to think that Jesus died for our sins, for our salvation. That makes me happy, because of his love. I might've been too complacent too that I forgot my sins, my promises, and not repent.

God's might is strong. To those who did good, they glory and marvel at the Lord. Those who did wrong, they fear the Lord. But I think even if we did wrong, we have to take glory into the Lord because He is not a God of War and Wrath. His anger is to those who is filled with hatred. His love is to those who are filled with love.

I said this once, «We should not despair because despair leads us far to the greater love of God.» If we love God and trust in Him, we should learn to trust in His love. In our sins, we are and truly we should be sorry. We are sinners, we are big sinners. None of us are pure and not sinful.

After the fall of Adam and Eve, after we ate the fruit of the tree Good and Evil, we get a sense of what is Good and Evil. Many scholars say that we are 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 to sin, after the fall. I think the fruit of that Tree, was that there had been Knowledge of the pleasures of what is evil. We get the sense of thrill of the disobedience; to lie, to cheat, to hate, to hurt; much extreme of this thrill is to kill, to rape, to fornicate. Sadly, there are people that has no psychopathic conditions, but by bad habits, created a bad future for themselves. (edited)

Saint Augustine theorized that we lost control over our pleasures, during the fall, and that the pleasures were innate. So through the passion of Jesus, we are called to be children of God. But to be children of God we are to give ourselves to God, and to suffer. The most extreme of this example are the Desert Fathers and Mothers, who truly left their old life to live in the desert.

Saint Mary of Egypt was very penitent, and lived in the desert with no spare clothes, no food, no water, no shelter, and no human interaction (until Saint Zosimas of Palestine appeared). But as we, little children of God in our weakness of our generation, we are called to deny ourselves of our sinful pleasure, much more but not just on Lent, take up the cross, and follow the way of Jesus.

𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫: We come to You, O God, and accept our sacrifice of humble and contrite hearts. Cleanse it, purify it, renew it. Inject in us Your love, and let it run through the veins of our soul. We come to You to confess;

I confess to Almighty God,
to blessed Mary ever Virgin,
to blessed Joseph her most Chaste Spouse,
to blessed Michael the Archangel,
to blessed John the Baptist,
to the holy Apostles Peter and Paul,
to all the Saints, and to you, brethren,
that I have sinned exceedingly
in thought, word and deed:
through my fault, through my fault,
through my most grievous fault.
Therefore I beseech blessed Mary ever Virgin,
blessed Michael the Archangel,
blessed John the Baptist,
the holy Apostles Peter and Paul,
all the Saints, and you, brethren,
to pray for me to the Lord our God. Amen.

Father, with penitent soul, and a contrite heart, I ask for Your mercy. I trust in Your Divine Mercy. Forgive me, and give me strength to seek forgiveness to others. So that I may be forever with You, joyfully in heaven. Amen.

We ask this through Christ our Lord, Jesus Christ, with the grace of the Holy Spirit who lives and reigns with You and Jesus. Amen.

What a shame. If you create another region, request an Embassy exchange. If you are leaving the game than I hope you find what you are looking for.

Sorry if I havent made this clear in the past to everyone, though now I will. This region was me and my friends first attempt at a conservative region. It failed, mostly due to the fact that my friend (Donald trump 2021, who was the founder and had exec authority) left the game. So since then Ive kept the region alive as a memorial, but since moved on to Land Of Conservatives. You can request an embassy with us there.
