Message to 🌎: stop manifesting illness and disease and war on this pandemic 😷. What’s wrong with you all? Don’t you have faith in me? Stay close to God and Christ. Lord Saint Filip.

This is turning rapidly into a farce.

ITS PROBABLY THERE ALREADY Omicron

This is an inspirational ancient poem. I hope everyone can live safely and healthily in this COVID-19 epidemic. 咬定青山不放松 立根原在破岩中 千磨万击还坚韧 任尔东西南北风
