You will not find another soul that lives more devoted to Jesus Christ than the Blessed Virgin Mary. Intercessions granted through prayers to the BVM are, as a rule, powerful. Anyone assiduously seeking her guidance and aid will most assuredly grow in devotion to her Son.
She will not permit herself to be taken as an object of idolatry. From beginning to end she belongs completely and wholeheartedly to God, and she has by grace what He has by nature. She will always direct you to her Love.

Anyways, I do remember χλωρός frequently having association with sickly and rotting things. I don't much recall χλωρός really being used in the connotation of verdant.
Here's the entry from the Big Liddel

Green covers a somewhat different wavelength of colors until the Greeks began being able to recognize and denote the color blue. I sometimes see translators talk about χλωρός as green-yellow. Not to be confused with Ξάνθος which more properly means "yellow."
Homer makes frequent reference to the wine-colored sea.
@p@chillanarchist01@ins0mniak There are Chinese immigrant organizations in the US that help new immigrants with jobs and training. It's very common to see a Chinese national arrive with no skillset whatsoever, receive training as a line cook in a Cantonese-style establishment, and be off.
@dicey No different from Stalin then, is what you're saying. A lot of dead communists and a strong man in charge?
Sulla came out on top in the Social War. I don't know what else to say. Reckless and absolute disregard for moral authority will, as a best case scenario, result in being squashed beneath the foot of a tyrant.
Worst case scenario looks more like what the Romans did with the Carthaginians when they didn't find a living human being younger than 17 in the city.
O Mary, you truly became the Queen of all martyrs as these seven bitter swords of sorrow pierced your Immaculate Heart! By the merits of your tearful distress obtain for us and for all sinners the graces of perfect contrition and conversion. Help us always, dear Mother, to imitate you by taking up our crosses and following Jesus with limitless love and generosity. Amen.
