Requiem Mass for Pope Francis and Deceased Prelates | St. Peter’s Basilica Pope Leo XIV presided at a Requiem Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica for the late Pope Francis and Cardinals and Bishops who have died over the course of the past year, praying that “their souls might be washed from every stain” and that they might “shine like stars in the sky.” EWTN
Léon XIV: «L'espérance chrétienne regarde au-delà de l'horizon terrestre» En ce lundi 3 novembre une messe de suffrage à l’intention du Pape argentin, des cardinaux et évêques décédés au cours de l'année 2025 a été célébrée en la basilique Saint-Pierre de Rome. Le Saint-Père a prié pour «que leurs âmes soient lavées de toute souillure et qu'ils brillent comme des étoiles dans le ciel». «Nous ne sommes pas tristes comme ceux qui n'ont pas d'espoir, car même la mort la plus tragique ne peut empêcher notre Seigneur d'accueillir notre âme», a-t-il affirmé.
Sorry, but there is nothing to learn from Islam - a false religion. Can you image the Blessed Virgin Mary wrapped up so you could only see her eyes? No. She is the model and example for modesty for ALL women. The over veiling of women is a way for Muslim men to control their women.
The SCIF @TheIntelSCIF The GEORGE SOROS global election fraud cartel & regime change operations. Over 235 radical left-wing judges were installed, over 75 District Attorneys which represent 1 in 5 Americans, and a grand total of over $2.5 BILLION was laundered to rig the 2020 election alone. There's also billions of dollars going into numerous other countries, running coups to take control and install communist regimes. This is your USAID, A-WEB, Open Society, Arabella Advisors, The Tides Foundation, Indivisible, and THOUSANDS of other NGOs which launder taxpayer dollars to fund terrorist groups like Antifa, election fraud, and regime change operations around the world. There are many layers and others but it's time to take this Soros political fraud factory down and cut off the source of this communist poison that's not only destroying America, but the rest of the world as well.
ADVERSITIES ARE USEFUL - Thomas a Kempis, THE IMITATION OF CHRIST 1. It is good that we occasionally experience adversity, because it often leads us to withdraw into ourselves, so that, recognizing our exile, we place no hope in anything in the world. It is good that contradictions sometimes make us uncomfortable, and that others misinterpret what we do for their benefit, even with the best of intentions. These things usually help us to be humble and protect us from the evil tendency toward self-glorification. And then we seek God more readily as the witness of our lives, because we lose esteem and credibility among others. 2. We should seek comfort exclusively in God, so that we do not need to seek human comfort. When a virtuous person is troubled, tempted, and plagued by evil thoughts, then they know they have a greater need for God, for they have learned from experience that without Him they can do nothing good. Then he grows sad, groans, and begs the Lord to deliver him from the …More
In this passage from his work Moralia (on the Book of Job), Pope St. Gregory the Great teaches that all who die as unbelievers and without the sacraments of the Church are not saved. Like other saints who address this matter, as part of his exposition he cites John 3 about how one who does not believe is already condemned. Pope St. Gregory the Great, Moralia, Book 26, Chap. 27 (#50): “Of whom the Prophet says, The ungodly do not rise again in the judgment. [Ps. 1:5] And of whom the Lord declares, But he who does not believe is already condemned. [John 3:18] And of whom Paul says, They who have sinned without the Law, shall perish without the Law. [Rom. 2:12] Therefore even all unbelievers rise again, but to torment and not to judgment. For their case is not then examined; because they come into the presence of their strict Judge, with the condemnation already of their own unbelief. But those, who retain their profession of faith, but have not works in accordance with it, are …More
After a massive wildfire swept through a rural area near Pine Hollow, search teams were sent out to look for surviving animals. Most of what they found were ashes and silence, until one rescuer entered a burnt warehouse and froze. There, beneath a scorched desk, lay a young fawn and a small bobcat, curled up against each other. Both were trembling, covered in soot, and exhausted. Yet instead of fear, they had chosen closeness. The bobcat’s paw rested on the fawn’s neck, as if guarding it through the smoke and chaos. When the rescuers approached, neither animal tried to run. They were gently lifted and taken to a rehabilitation center, where their unlikely bond only deepened. They shared food, warmth, and rest healing together, as though they understood that survival was something they had to do side by side. Caretakers watched in awe as two creatures that nature designed to be enemies became inseparable friends. Weeks later, when they were strong enough, they were moved to a wildlife …More
Food Stamp Freeze That Could Spark a National Emergency (EBT UPDATE) Across the country, benefits are delayed, food stores are boarding up and small-scale looting is starting to appear in nearly every state, will it expand from here? Partial payments to SNAP mean the entire system needs to be re-calculated so the delays will extend from here.
This error is ubiquitous in the N.O. church. Sunday on All Souls' Day the priest just turned the whole Mass into a "Celebration of Life" for all people who have died. He said it was a "Catholic Memorial Day" in which we recall all the 'good things' about our deceased relatives & friends. He went on to say that All Saints was to remember the "heroes of faith" and All Souls was for "the rest of us."
