• Quick refresher,  the Vikings & Germanic tribes settled in the British Isles (Anglo-Saxons / English) … the Romans & the French shaped the English … the English gave rise to USA … after USA got free of the English,  the "Republic of Texas"  joined USA … and  USA, the sleeping giant, saved  the English  &  the French.  

• The name "Moreign" is  from  ol' times,  the unique spelling signifies the origin / root of this English family-tree and serves to distinguish  us from  the  others  (e.g.,  the many variations of French & English "Morein, Morin", and Portuguese & Spanish "Morena, Moreno").  "Moreign" is pronounced "More–Reign" supposedly a pun that has lived through the generations :-)   

• Despite the hullabaloo of Henry_VIII  breaking away from Rome … our family,  though English,  continued  living  our  multi-generational  Roman_Catholic Faith  (not Religion, as " Religion & Politics divide,  Faith & Beliefs unite " ¹²³)  ═  Peace_&_hUmaNITY

➤  Bible ═ Old_Testament & New_Testament; 

➤  New_Testament ═ Christ's teachings ═ Christianity; 

   [a] Background:  Old_Testament  is Jewish / BACKGROUND_info / pre_Christ ═ not Christ's teachings ═ not Christianity

1 e.g.,:    the 10 commandments are from the Old_Testament … whereas the 1 command in the New_Testament ═ "Love one another"  (John 13:34-35)

   [b]  Extras:   each variant / version / denomination of Christianity has its own EXTRAS … Bible_variations,  policies,  practices, etc. … 

1 e.g.,:  ➤  Catholics  embrace / venerate / revere / honour / celebrate  — not worship — Mother Mary … our  Blessed Mother  

… the vessel / womb  chosen  to be  the Mother of Jesus  a.k.a.  Theotokos   

… as  Jesus  gave us  HIS Mother  as  our Mother  …  while  dying  on the cross   (John 19:25-27) 

➤  many  Christian ( Protestant ) denominations  seem to  miss / ignore / dismiss  these  points  ~and~  do not venerate Mother Mary 

tidbit:  ➤  Hindus, Muslims, and people of other Faiths & Beliefs  actually  recognize / respect / venerate / revere / honour  Mother Mary as the Mother of Jesus

   … and Mother Mary appeared to non-Catholics, across the world, who experienced & bore witness to her miracles … even in our life time     

   … and their clarity is so simple & profound … (translating & paraphrasing here) …  "I respect — my mother,  your mother,  how much more … … …"     

crux: ➤  those who choose to see  …  can recognize  …  Mother Mary's sanctity & miracles come from  being  the  Mother of Jesus 

   [c] Discern:   ➤ as Christians — it is up to each of us,  to  discern  Christ's teachings  from all the ADDITIONAL (Background & Extras)  

~and~  it is up to each of us,  to strive,  in our own way,  to embody the 1 command ═ "Love one another" ⇒ Peace_&_hUmaNITY  

    ➤ respecting  religious_identity  requires recognizing  each ― as done in [b], and here — Jewish are not Christians ~&~ Christians are not Jewish

… Judeo-Christian  (1930s_onwards  political  term) …  blurs / obfuscates / conflates / etc.,   Jewish & Christian religious_identities …

… how do we utilize our gift of time ?  … trade our time=life for what ?  … spend our time with & for whom ?   … why ? " ¹²³

… aren't they the ones that matter ?  … aren't they the ones you should be sharing your priceless gift of time=life with?  " ¹²³

☀   IF this family has even a fraction of what they surfaced here … shouldn't  they know all this can be twisted  by evil against them ? 
... why then are they sharing a glimpse of their family's generational wisdom ?   … why at a time of such division & distress?   … why take the risk ?  

… could it be  —  they see good_souls are in distress, overwhelmed, and being attacked by evil because of their light=soul  ~and~  tuning into the light can help overcome … ?

… could it be  — the fabric_of_family  is being severely shredded & lost  ~and~  with it the generational values & knowlege  lost … values that make us for the better ? 

… could it be  —  they share but leave it to each of us to discern for ourselves  ~and~  to do what is best for our soul=life ? 

… could it be  —  their sincere appreciation to their well_wishers of various faiths & beliefs for playing devil's advocate while being genuine well_wishers ? 

… could it be  —  all this is a humble_brag, cloaked_vanity, etc. 

~or~  are they just,  'throwing bread on waters'  with their nuance of  'choosing to share blessings_received despite some harrowing crosses' ?

~or~  is this them,  'tired of those choosing to be blind ~and~ prefer to spend the remaining time=life  with  folks of substance 

— across Faiths & Beliefs — across generations & continents  — steadfast in their shared_hUmaNITY ' ?                       

~or~  is it,  they get, ' irrespective,  evil is constantly attacking the soul=light within, directly & indirectly  ~and~  ALL that is out of your control' ?
  ~and~  so they chose …  ' why live in fear?  … especially when the light is within you 

… and all it takes is  a wee bit of  light / good  to  shatter & dispel  the darkness / evil    
…  just Live your Purpose & Praxis per your Faith & Beliefs    
… ALL else do not matter ' ?
