Dali Harpo Marx

Sovereign Of Silver Blood

London, 1820 A kingdom shrouded in darkness. A bloodline cursed by power. A legacy of silver and shadows. Centuries ago, a king's insatiable thirst for power turned him into a monster—a vampire. His dark transformation left a curse upon his descendants: the Silver Blood, a gift and a torment. Silver Blood turns any weapon they wield into a force capable of slaying vampires—and according to ancient legend, holds the power to restore vampires to humanity. But no one knows if this power is salvation… or damnation. Maverick Crus Beecham, or Marx, is no stranger to the shadows. As the most skilled of the kingdom’s Special Soldier Night Guards, Marx has dedicated his life to protecting the realm. Yet when his stern uncle, Lawrence Beecham, unexpectedly sends him away for three months to inherit his title as Earl, Marx’s world takes an unforeseen turn. Enter Cherie, a mysterious and charismatic nobleman who exudes charm as easily as breathing. Their fateful meeting throws Marx into a whirlwind of intrigue, danger, and unspoken secrets. Despite their clashing personalities—Marx’s stoic discipline against Cherie’s playful magnetism—they are drawn together by a shared purpose, an enigmatic mission, and Cherie’s declaration of a "date" that feels more like destiny. “We should go through all of the ups and down, for better, for worse, until we are part by death” A tale of cursed bloodlines, enduring secrets, and unexpected romance, Sovereign of Silver Blood is a gothic adventure romance.

The Gospel of John

The Gospel according to John is quite different in character from the three synoptic gospels. It is highly literary and symbolic. It does not follow the same order or reproduce the same stories as the synoptic gospels. To a much greater degree, it is the product of a developed theological reflection and grows out of a different circle and tradition. It was probably written in the 90s of the first century. The Gospel of John begins with a magnificent prologue, which states many of the major themes and motifs of the gospel, much as an overture does for a musical work. The prologue proclaims Jesus as the preexistent and incarnate Word of God who has revealed the Father to us. The rest of the first chapter forms the introduction to the gospel proper and consists of the Baptist’s testimony about Jesus (there is no baptism of Jesus in this gospel—John simply points him out as the Lamb of God), followed by stories of the call of the first disciples, in which various titles predicated of Jesus in the early church are presented. The gospel narrative contains a series of “signs”—the gospel’s word for the wondrous deeds of Jesus. The author is primarily interested in the significance of these deeds, and so interprets them for the reader by various reflections, narratives, and discourses. The first sign is the transformation of water into wine at Cana (Jn 2:1–11); this represents the replacement of the Jewish ceremonial washings and symbolizes the entire creative and transforming work of Jesus. The second sign, the cure of the royal official’s son (Jn 4:46–54) simply by the word of Jesus at a distance, signifies the power of Jesus’ life-giving word. The same theme is further developed by other signs, probably for a total of seven. The third sign, the cure of the paralytic at the pool with five porticoes in chap. 5, continues the theme of water offering newness of life. In the preceding chapter, to the woman at the well in Samaria Jesus had offered living water springing up to eternal life, a symbol of the revelation that Jesus brings; here Jesus’ life-giving word replaces the water of the pool that failed to bring life. Jn 6 contains two signs, the multiplication of loaves and the walking on the waters of the Sea of Galilee. These signs are connected much as the manna and the crossing of the Red Sea are in the Passover narrative and symbolize a new exodus. The multiplication of the loaves is interpreted for the reader by the discourse that follows, where the bread of life is used first as a figure for the revelation of God in Jesus and then for the Eucharist. After a series of dialogues reflecting Jesus’ debates with the Jewish authorities at the Feast of Tabernacles in Jn 7; 8, the sixth sign is presented in Jn 9, the sign of the young man born blind. This is a narrative illustration of the theme of conflict in the preceding two chapters; it proclaims the triumph of light over darkness, as Jesus is presented as the Light of the world. This is interpreted by a narrative of controversy between the Pharisees and the young man who had been given his sight by Jesus, ending with a discussion of spiritual blindness and spelling out the symbolic meaning of the cure. And finally, the seventh sign, the raising of Lazarus in chap. 11, is the climax of signs. Lazarus is presented as a token of the real life that Jesus, the Resurrection and the Life, who will now ironically be put to death because of his gift of life to Lazarus, will give to all who believe in him once he has been raised from the dead.

The Gospel of Luke

The Gospel according to Luke is the first part of a two-volume work that continues the biblical history of God’s dealings with humanity found in the Old Testament, showing how God’s promises to Israel have been fulfilled in Jesus and how the salvation promised to Israel and accomplished by Jesus has been extended to the Gentiles. The stated purpose of the two volumes is to provide Theophilus and others like him with certainty—assurance—about earlier instruction they have received. To accomplish his purpose, Luke shows that the preaching and teaching of the representatives of the early church are grounded in the preaching and teaching of Jesus, who during his historical ministry prepared his specially chosen followers and commissioned them to be witnesses to his resurrection and to all else that he did. This continuity between the historical ministry of Jesus and the ministry of the apostles is Luke’s way of guaranteeing the fidelity of the Church’s teaching to the teaching of Jesus. Luke’s story of Jesus and the church is dominated by a historical perspective. This history is first of all salvation history. God’s divine plan for human salvation was accomplished during the period of Jesus, who through the events of his life fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies, and this salvation is now extended to all humanity in the period of the church. This salvation history, moreover, is a part of human history. Luke relates the story of Jesus and the church to events in contemporary Palestinian history for, as Paul says, “this was not done in a corner.” Finally, Luke relates the story of Jesus and the church to contemporaneous church history. Luke is concerned with presenting Christianity as a legitimate form of worship in the Roman world, a religion that is capable of meeting the spiritual needs of a world empire like that of Rome. To this end, Luke depicts the Roman governor Pilate declaring Jesus innocent of any wrongdoing three times. At the same time Luke argues in Acts that Christianity is the logical development and proper fulfillment of Judaism and is therefore deserving of the same toleration and freedom traditionally accorded Judaism by Rome. The prominence given to the period of the church in the story has important consequences for Luke’s interpretation of the teachings of Jesus. By presenting the time of the church as a distinct phase of salvation history, Luke accordingly shifts the early Christian emphasis away from the expectation of an imminent parousia to the day-to-day concerns of the Christian community in the world. He does this in the gospel by regularly emphasizing the words “each day” in the sayings of Jesus. Although Luke still believes the parousia to be a reality that will come unexpectedly, he is more concerned with presenting the words and deeds of Jesus as guides for the conduct of Christian disciples in the interim period between the ascension and the parousia and with presenting Jesus himself as the model of Christian life and piety. Throughout the gospel, Luke calls upon the Christian disciple to identify with the master Jesus, who is caring and tender toward the poor and lowly, the outcast, the sinner, and the afflicted, toward all those who recognize their dependence on God, but who is severe toward the proud and self-righteous, and particularly toward those who place their material wealth before the service of God and his people. No gospel writer is more concerned than Luke with the mercy and compassion of Jesus. No gospel writer is more concerned with the role of the Spirit in the life of Jesus and the Christian disciple, with the importance of prayer, or with Jesus’ concern for women. While Jesus calls all humanity to repent, he is particularly demanding of those who would be his disciples. Of them he demands absolute and total detachment from family and material possessions. To all who respond in faith and repentance to the word Jesus preaches, he brings salvation and peace and life.

a love that never fades(TAGALOG) (BL)

ALTNF 1 Ben Cariaga's POV "Ano na, asan ka na?" Sabi ko dahil hindi ko na talaga siya makita. Asan na ba siya? Masyado nang mataas ang narating niya! Mamaya mahulog to eh. "Wait, teka lang babi! Ang kati ng likod ko. Jan ka lang!" Sigaw niya mula sa itaas ng puno. Sa totoo lang, kanina pa ako nangangalay dito. Paano ba naman, kanina ko pa bitbit ang pagkalaki-laking bayong na 'to na naglalaman ng mangga. Yep, nasa mango-hunting kami ngayon ni Kristal. "Ano na bes? Nakakangalay na! Asan ka ba? You are nowhere to be found!" Sigaw ko. "Nandito ako, look!" Hinanap ko siya sa itaas pero hindi ko talaga siya makita. Masyado kasing maraming sanga ang nakaharang. Maya-maya ay may ginalaw-galaw siyang mga sanga at hinanap ko iyon. Nang makita ko ito ay ako ang nalula sa sobrang taas. "Hala Kristal! Gagi ka ba? Ang taas mo masyado! Bumaba ka na dyan, bago ka pa mahulog at masisi pa ako ng masungit mong mudrakels dahil ako ang nagpaakyat sa'yo dyan!" Sigaw ko sa kanya. "Babi, magtiwala ka sa akin. Kaya ko 'to. Ang dami kaya dito. Ready mo na yang bayong, dali!" Sabi niya. I frowned. Ano ba 'yan, bigat na bigat na nga ako dito tas biglang change location. Huhu. Hinanda ko na ang dala-dala kong bayong. Tama siya, ang dami ngang bunga ng mangga sa pwesto niya. Kumpul-kumpol at malalaki na. Sana lang hindi pa hinog ang mga 'yam. "Kris, ang dami masyado. Bawasan mo. Baka sa ulo ko tumama 'yan imbes na shumoot sa bayong." She chuckled, "Ok." At hinulog na niya isa-isa yung mga mangga. Marami-rami rin kaming nakuha. No, marami talaga kaming nakuha. Samantalang kami lang din naman ni Kristal ang mangangain nito. You know, summer. Ang sarap ng may mangangata. "Marami rin tayong nakuha. Tirahan natin si kuya Japs ng lima." Sabi ko. Bumaba na si Kristal sa ng puno nang walang kahirap-hirap. Taong unggoy 'yan eh. Kayang umakyat ng puno kahit gaano kataas ng effortless. Kahit maliit na babae yan si Kristal wag mong mamaliitin yan. Maraming 'yang kayang gawin sa buhay. "Tatlo lang? Gawin mo nang sampu." Sabi niya. I gave her a meaningful look, "Ok, ok, fine, fine. Crush mo eh." "Huh? C-crush ka diyan, wala akong crush no." She said, blushing. "Asus, oke, sabi mo eh." Sabi ko naman. Nagligpit na kami ng mga pinanguha namin at umuwi na rin kami. Bago ang lahat. Ben Cariaga ang pangalan ko. Si Kristal naman itong kasama ko. Kristal used to call me "Babi" dahil, wala lang. Trip lang daw niya. Kami 'yung tipong unexpected best friends kasi pagkalipat na pagkalipat nila dito, inapproach niya kaagad ako. Then ayun, instant BFFs. Minsan tinanong niya ako if I'm a gay. Napansin niya daw sa behaviour ko at way ko ng pagsasalita.
