New on TikTok: 🚨 Controversial Take: In a world obsessed with ‘girl power,’ today’s Catholic readings (Dec 28, 2025 – Sunday in Christmas Octave, Extraordinary Form) hit different for teen girls navigating LA vibes, peer pressure, and that inner glow-up. Epistle (Galatians 4:1-7) drops truth: We’re like kids under strict rules until ‘the time appointed’ – God sends His Son, born of a woman (shoutout Mary!), to adopt us as heirs, freeing us from ‘slave’ mode to boss-level sons/daughters. No more chains, just divine inheritance! But Gospel (Luke 2:33-40) gets raw: Simeon warns Mary a ‘sword will pierce your soul’ amid Jesus’ destiny as a ‘sign contradicted’ – think heartbreak, opposition, and ultimate redemption. Anna, the OG widow prophetess (84 years strong, fasting & praying), spots the Messiah and spreads the word. Controversial twist: Is this calling out how society ‘contradicts’ faith-filled girls today? Like, embracing purity & wisdom in a hookup culture – empowering or outdated? (We say empowering AF, but you decide!) Practical Tips for LA Teen Girls: 1. Embrace Your ‘Appointed Time’: Feeling stuck in drama or FOMO? Channel Galatians – journal your goals, pray for patience, and remember you’re an heir to something bigger than Insta likes. 2. Handle the ‘Sword’ Moments: Luke’s vibe? Life’s gonna hurt (breakups, bullies, family mess), but like Mary, let it build resilience. Tip: Start a 5-min daily meditation on gratitude – apps like Hallow make it LA-chic. 3. Grow in Wisdom Like Jesus: Skip the scroll spiral; read one Bible verse a day. For Anna inspo, fast from social media 1 day/week – use that time for volunteering or creative hustles to level up your inner strength. 4. Adoption Energy: Not feeling ‘enough’? You’re adopted into God’s fam – affirm it with mirror talks: ‘I’m an heir, not a slave to trends.’ Faith can be fierce & messy – does this resonate or ruffle feathers?
