I came so that they might have life April 26, IV Sunday of Easter Which voice should we listen to? Which leader should we follow? Which path should we take? Which door should we cross to enjoy this wonderful gift of God that is life? These are the questions that every man or woman who comes into this world must face. Questions that for our contemporaries sounds as desperately urgent due to the fact that, as Pope Leo the XIV reminded us these days, we are living in a dramatic hour of history. The invitation that the Church makes to everybody is not to be afraid!” In fact, for us, the Christians, there are no doubts: Jesus of Nazareth is the Redeemer of the world. He is the “path” who leads to the whole truth. He is the “door” who gives access to eternal life. He is the “love“ who set the hearts on fire. He is the “hope” who does not disappoint. He is the “joy” who never end. He is the Good Shepherd, who leads his people to the final victory over evil and death!
Catholic Reflections – Friday 24 April 2026, Friday of the 3rd week of Eastertide, John 6:52-59 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 6,52-59. The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his Flesh to eat?" Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever." These things he said while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
[Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich – XVIII-XIX Century AD; Flamschen, Holy Roman Empire/Dulmen, German Confederation; Mystic; Stigmatist, Writer] “II. THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION 1.0 JOACHIM AND ST. ANNE MEET BENEATH THE GOLDEN GATE. It was a warning from on high that had led Joachim into the Holy Place, and it was by a similar inspiration that he was brought into a subterranean passage which belonged to the consecrated part of the Temple and ran under it and under the Golden Gate. I have been told what was the meaning and origin of this passage when the Temple was built, and also what it was used for, but I have no clear recollection of this. Some religious observance relating to the blessing and reconciliation of the unfruitful was, I think, connected with this passage. In certain circumstances people were brought into it for rites of purification, expiation, absolution, and the like. Joachim was led by priests near the slaughtering-place through a little door into this passage. The …More
"On their arrival at Nazareth, Joachim, after a joyful meal, gave food to many poor people and distributed generous alms. I saw how full he and Anna were of joy and fervor and gratitude to God when they thought of His compassion towards them; I often saw them praying together with tears. It was explained to me here that the Blessed Virgin was begotten by her parents in holy obedience and complete purity of heart, and that thereafter they lived together in continence in the greatest devoutness and fear of God. I was at the same time clearly instructed how immeasurably the holiness of children was encouraged by the purity, chastity, and continence of their parents and by their resistance to all unclean temptations; and how continence after conception preserves the fruit of the womb from many sinful impulses. In general, I was given an overflowing abundance of knowledge about the roots of deformity and sin.”
In an interview early in his pontificate, Pope Leo XIV commented that it was “highly unlikely” that Catholic teaching about sexuality and marriage would change very soon. He also said that “we have to change attitudes” as a prelude to any future doctrinal change. That statement is accurate not only for doctrinal change, but also for change in pastoral practice. Pastoral changes have been happening at varying rates among reform-minded Catholics in the U.S. and around the world. Turn on the television, read a newspaper, listen to a podcast, visit a local school, go to a political debate — in every aspect of modern cultural and civic life, LGBTQ+ issues are being widely discussed and better understood. Except for some Catholic church leaders who have roundly condemned LGBTQ+ issues, the majority seem to ignore the topic, brush it aside or give it the smallest amount of lip service. Almost every document about LGBTQ+ people issued from the Vatican, the U.S. Conference of Catholic …
@credo dont waste your time with the "supercatholics", they are blind and deaf... Sad to hear them speak as if you or anyone posting the obvious is some sort of extensión of the antichrist and his synagogue of satan squad, but hey, they are the modern version of what the pharisees used to be (super annoying "meticulous" with all that's clean and unclean).

World’s oldest nun, Sr. Francis celebrates 113th Birthday | Shalom World News At 113, Sister Francis Dominici Piscatella continues to inspire generations with a life defined by faith, perseverance, and service. The Long Island nun, recognized as the world’s oldest living sister, celebrated her birthday on April 20 with a modest gathering at the convent of the Sisters of St. Dominic in Amityville, New York. Born in Central Islip, Sister Francis entered religious life in 1931 at just 17 years old.

Over the course of her lifetime, she has witnessed the leadership of ten popes, including receiving a special proclamation from Pope Leo as part of her birthday celebration. Despite losing her left forearm in a childhood accident and initially facing rejection from religious orders, she remained determined to pursue her vocation. Sister Francis devoted 52…More
Trump DOJ charges far-left Southern Poverty Law Center that targets traditional Catholics: The Southern Poverty Law Center, which was cited in an infamous Biden administration memo targeting Latin Mass Catholics, faces a federal indictment for bank fraud and other crimes.
Tue Apr 21, 2026 - 7:25 pm EDTWed Apr 22, 2026 - 4:44 pm EDT MONTGOMERY, Alabama (LifeSiteNews) — The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced an indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), one of the most powerful left-wing activist groups in the U.S., on 11 counts of bank fraud and other crimes. The infamous nonprofit “secretly funneled more than $3 million in donated funds” to members of the Ku Klux Klan, the National Socialist Party of America, and other extremist organizations as part of investigations into the groups, the DOJ said on Tuesday. The SPLC failed to tell donors that it was using their money “to fund the leaders and organizers of racist groups at the same time that the SPLC was denouncing the same groups on its website,” according to the agency. The DOJ said that the SPLC “opened bank accounts connected to a series of fictitious entities” to cover up the scheme and “made a series of false statements related to the operation of the accounts.” A grand …

Mocking the biblical Jesus Christ, the Marxist apostate Robert Prevost recited the *Regina Caeli* before an image of a black woman with a black baby on her back. Prevost celebrated a Marxist, inculturated "Mass" at the Malabo Stadium, before an image of a Black "Virgin" and a Black, Marxist "Baby Jesus." Equatorial Guinea. The Marxist Prevost—while promoting a false Black Christ—has the cynicism to proclaim himself the successor of Peter. Note that Prevost also failed to denounce the Islamization through which the impostor Muhammad de-Christianized Africa—and, by means of the sword, compelled many to apostatize and worship the false god Allah.

In Soloviev’s work *Three Dialogues*, the description of the Antichrist as an ecumenist, pacifist, and environmentalist also notes that he draws people to himself by telling each person exactly what they want to hear—much like politicians who employ demagoguery to deceive the masses. Prevost profanes the Church in order to validate Muslims, while simultaneously—whenever it suits him—donning the guise of a sheep and preaching a gospel that stands in contradiction to his own actions.
