Worst School Massacre Ever -LWIL # 20

We’ve lived 20 weeks so far in 2023 and this week we remember the sad remembrance of the worst school massacre in U.S, history.
Surprisingly it wasn’t done with guns and it wasn’t done recently but in 1927.
Schrool down to watch the video telling you about it,
plus you can learn the Nickel Song
and learn the difference between the book and movie of The Wizard of Oz,
learn about the founding of the Red Cross
Experience Jesus Ascending to Heaven
Learn about Shakespeare’s Sonnets
and have the question of the weight of the soul answered
and all the other things that…

Happen Last Week and Year in Life.

But first a PSA

Almost every time I see a quote expressing a zealously scrupulous view that reads like an over-the-top parody of Catholic guilt and pietistic oversimplicity, it’s from Alphonsus de Ligouri. He’s like a character made up by anti-Catholics who happens to be real.
