"The venerable Benedict extended his hand, made the sign of the cross, and, by means of this holy sign, broke the glass which was held up at some distance from him, so that the glass containing the poison was as quickly broken, as if, instead of blessing it with the sign of the cross, he had flung a stone and broken it. Beholding this wonder, the man of God knew at once that the glass contained a deadly potion, since it was unable to bear the sign of life."
“Of a glass that St. Benedict broke by making over it the sign of the CROSS. THE man of God, being freed from temptations, made new progress in virtue, and his soul became still more fruitful in good works, just as we see a field yielding more abundant fruit after it has been cleared of the thorns and put under cultivation. His life appeared so holy and edifying that every one eulogized it, and his name became famous throughout the whole country. Not far from his retreat there was a monastery whose Abbot had lately died. The whole community immediately repaired to the venerable Benedict and earnestly besought him to be their superior. For a long time he refused, alleging as an excuse that his manner of living was too different from theirs to suit each other; but at length, overcome by their importunity, he acceded to their wishes. Thus having undertaken to govern the community, he applied himself to cause the laws of monastic life to be observed; he was careful that the Religious should …More

They only wanted relief. Pregnant women everywhere were searching for a medicine gentle enough to calm their nausea… something to help them rest in a world that never stopped moving. Then came the “miracle”: Thalidomide. A white, elegant pill. Prescribed freely. Marketed boldly. Sold without hesitation. Doctors were told it was perfectly safe. So safe, they claimed, “even children can take it.” No one mentioned that it had never been properly tested. No one questioned the confidence of the smiling pharmaceutical ads. And so the dream began… A woman in London finally sleeps after nights of vomiting. Another in Munich feels peace for the first time in months. Thousands of pregnant women worldwide swallow the little white pill— unaware that something unthinkable is unfolding inside them. Then the due dates came. But instead of the first cry of life… there was silence. A baby born without arms. Another without legs. A tiny girl with fingers like unfinished buds. Dozens. Hundreds. Thousands. …More
Tommy Robinson @TRobinsonNewEra Magdeburg Christmas market has been cancelled this year because of Muslims. The town in town Germany was attacked last year, leaving six killed and more than 300 others wounded. All we hear is "Islamophobia" is the problem. All we see is Muslims raping and killing our people.
Leo XIV has released today two documents a new General Regulation of the Roman Curia and a Personnel Regulation about recruitment. They enter into force on 1 January 2026 for a five-year ad experimentum period. The Personnel Regulation requires Vatican employees to uphold exemplary religious and moral conduct, also in private life. It sets employment rules: six-day work weeks, fixed hours, 26 days of annual leave, monitoring of sick leave, restrictions on part-time work, and bans on employing relatives within the same office. The General Regulation represents a complete reconstruction of the curial system—administrative structure, documentation regime, digitalization, the rights of the faithful, and a renewed centrality of the Secretariat of State. End of Latin The previous obligation to draft acts “as a rule” in Latin disappears. Italian, English, French, and other modern languages may now be used normally. This will practically mean the abandonment of Latin. Faithful’s right to a …More
Micah 2:1 Woe to you that devise that which is unprofitable, and work evil in your beds: in the morning light they execute it, because their hand is against God. Prevost was orchestrated by the apostate Bergoglio to continue his war against God and the Church.
After eight years of Vatican oversight and stalled reforms, and the unexpected delay in accepting their commissioner’s resignation, the Vatican must decide on the heralds of the gospel. 2017: Opening of apostolic visitation The Brazil-based group was accepted as 'Pontifical Association' by Pope John Paul II in 2001. In 2017, Pope Francis initiated an apostolic visitation against them, conducted by the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life. At this stage, according to their documentation, no formal list of charges or specific reasons for the visitation was communicated to them. Parallel to this, various civil and canonical complaints were filed against the heralds. In the years that followed, more than thirty of these cases were resolved through acquittal or archival in both civil and ecclesiastical tribunals. 2019: Appointment of the commissioner In September 2019, after reviewing the results of the visitation, Francis appointed Cardinal Raymundo Damasceno Assis, Archbishop …More
Mon Nov 24, 2025 - 12:48 pm ESTMon Nov 24, 2025 - 12:48 pm EST (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV, in a new apostolic letter, recalls the Nicene Creed in its original form — without the Filioque — as the foundation of the Christian faith, emphasizing the primacy of the ecumenical path. On Sunday, November 23, the Pope published an apostolic letter dedicated to the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, In Unitate Fidei (“In the Unity of Faith”), in which he proposes renewed momentum for an ecumenical profession of faith. “We share the same faith in the one and only God, the Father of all people; we confess together the one Lord and true Son of God, Jesus Christ, and the one Holy Spirit, who inspires us and impels us towards full unity and the common witness to the Gospel. Truly, what unites us is much greater than what divides us,” wrote the Pontiff. In the text, aimed at promoting the unity of Christians with reference to the first professions of faith, Pope Leo XIV cites the …
AfD party conference Essen 2015. Wikimedia Commons, Olaf Kosinsky/Skillshare.eu,CC-BY-SA-3.0-DE The cordon sanitaire against the Alternative for Germany party (AfD) looks to be crumbling among German industrialists, with two major associations reviewing their approach to the right-wingers. On November 16, the influential association of family enterprises Die Familienunternehmer (The Family Business Entrepreneurs, FU) announced it was ending its “ban” on any contact with AfD representatives. “At the core, our decision was about the interpretation of what the cordon sanitaire against AfD actually is and what its aims are,” FU president Marie-Christine Ostermann told newspaper Handelsblatt today. “For us the cordon sanitaire meant that we did not invite AfD MPs to our events out of principle. We have now ended this type of contact ban,” Ostermann said. She added, though, that her association was not keen to see AfD as a coalition partner in a future government. However, the …
Hayli Gubbi, Ethiopia’s long-dormant volcano, located in the Erta Ale Range, has erupted for the first time in 10,000 years, spewing towering ash columns that drifted across the Red Sea toward Oman and Yemen. Scientists say the eruption marks one of the most extraordinary volcanic awakenings in the region’s recorded history. The explosive eruption began around 8:30 a.m. UTC on Sunday, according to VolcanoDiscovery, citing an advisory from the Toulouse Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC). Satellite data later confirmed the presence of a massive ash cloud rising an estimated 10–15 km into the atmosphere. Where is Hayli Gubbi and why is this eruption significant? Hayli Gubbi lies about 15 km southeast of the Erta Ale volcano, one of the most active volcanoes on Earth and home to a persistent lava lake. It also sits within Ethiopia’s Danakil Depression, one of the hottest and most remote areas on the planet. Unlike its well-known neighbor, Hayli Gubbi has no previously recorded eruptions …
In honor of the 75th birthday of Slovak Archbishop Bernard Bober, the Vatican sent Padre Guilherme, a priest who combines worship and a career as a DJ, to the country. A rave concert blessed by Pope Leo XIV was held in front of St. Elizabeth's Cathedral in Košice.
I would like to bring to your attention the episode of the program which was broadcast on one of the big Russian channels on the 1st of October, 2012. In this program journalist Andrey Karaulov tells about the episode which happened to Vladimir Putin in 1989 in Dresden, and was unknown till the program went on the air. At that time Putin was KGB lieutenant-colonel. The author of the program is absolutely sure that this situation was not made up since thousands of Dresden citizens became the witnesses of this event, and the story of how it all happened may be heard almost in any bar of Dresden. In 1991 President Putin left the KGB. Vladimir Putin. Unknown episode of life [english subtitles]
After making a comment about this is the sort of story they don't want us to know. It was buried so deeply my fingers were hurting and stiff. I would love to know who it is that doesn't want anyone to know the truth?
5G und WLAN: Die ignorierten Fakten Die Organisation diagnose:funk kritisiert in einem offenen Brief eine bekannte TV-Sendung, die 5G und WLAN als risikofrei darstellte, da sie zentrale wissenschaftliche Fakten ignoriert habe. Die Kritik zielt auf das sogenannte „thermische Dogma“ ab. Das „thermische Dogma“ ist die Annahme, dass hochfrequente elektromagnetische Felder (HF-EMF) – das ist die Strahlung von Mobilfunk und WLAN – nur schädlich sein könne, wenn sie den Körper erwärmt. Hunderte seriöse Studien belegen jedoch biologische Effekte, die ohne Erhitzung ablaufen. Sehen sie dazu auch die umfangreiche Literaturliste in der Anfrage von diagnose:funk an ZDFneo. Experten weisen darauf hin, dass diese unbeachteten nicht-thermischen Effekte oxidativen Stress – eine zellschädigende Reaktion durch freie Radikale – verursachen können. Des Weiteren zeigten hochwertige Tierstudien, die als „Goldstandard“ gelten, ein statistisch signifikantes Krebspotenzial für bestimmte Tumore bei Ratten …More
