Book of Ezekiel 47,1-2.8-9.12. The angel brought me, Ezekiel, back to the entrance of the temple of the LORD, and I saw water flowing out from beneath the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the façade of the temple was toward the east; the water flowed down from the right side of the temple, south of the altar. He led me outside by the north gate, and around to the outer gate facing the east, where I saw water trickling from the southern side. He said to me, "This water flows into the eastern district down upon the Arabah, and empties into the sea, the salt waters, which it makes fresh. Wherever the river flows, every sort of living creature that can multiply shall live, and there shall be abundant fish, for wherever this water comes the sea shall be made fresh. Along both banks of the river, fruit trees of every kind shall grow; their leaves shall not fade, nor their fruit fail. Every month they shall bear fresh fruit, for they shall be watered by the flow from the sanctuary …More

NOVEMBER 9 2025 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 2,13-22. Since the Passover of the Jews was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, as well as the money-changers seated there. He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables, and to those who sold doves he said, "Take these out of here, and stop making my Father's house a marketplace." His disciples recalled the words of scripture, "Zeal for your house will consume me." At this the Jews answered and said to him, "What sign can you show us for doing this?" Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up." The Jews said, "This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?" But he was speaking about the temple of his body. Therefore …More
Joseph Shenouda, a 45-year-old Coptic Orthodox deacon from Helmond in the Netherlands, told Nd.nl on 6 November that he considers the Vatican’s digital security to be “leaky as a sieve”. In 2022, Shenouda founded the Vatican Cyber Volunteers, a group of about 110 cybersecurity specialists from around the world who support the Vatican free of charge. When he first examined the systems in 2022, he found that the Vatican's cybersecurity was extremely weak, with open networks, outdated systems and simple passwords such as “welcome123”. Shenouda also noticed that he could see the Pope making video calls on a tablet and that email addresses belonging to Holy See employees were being misused and sold. There were also fake Wi-Fi routers in St Peter's Square. The Vatican ranks at the bottom of the UN Global Cybersecurity Index, alongside countries such as Afghanistan, Eritrea and Yemen. Shenouda said with a smile: "Vatican email addresses are also being used to watch pornography, which is not …More

“The priests of the Lord must therefore, so far as reason and prudence suggest, impose salutary and suitable satisfactions, in keeping with the nature of the crimes and the ability of the penitents; otherwise, if they should connive at sins and deal too leniently with penitents, imposing certain very light works for very grave offenses, they might become partakers in the sins of others.” Council of Trent, Session XIV, CHAPTER VIII

Chapter I, Point VII “How a man cannot possess the heavenly treasure and at the same time cling to the pleasures of earth. The abbot Arsenius was once asked by the abbot Mark why he fled from the society of men. He replied, "God knows it is not that I hate men. I love them well. But I cannot dwell both with God and with men. There are multitudes of heavenly beings and many virtues, but all their wills are one, and they come of one will. Among men it is otherwise. Their wills are many, and they pull us different ways. I am in this strait. I cannot leave God, for that is how I think of it, to dwell with men." Chapter II - On Being Crucified with Christ If any man will come after Me, let him take up his cross, and follow Me. —St. Matt., xvi 24. He who enters upon the way of life in fear bears the cross patiently. He who advances in hope bears the cross readily. He who is perfected in charity embraces the cross ardently. —St. Bernard, Sermon I. on St. Andrew's Day. I have received the …More
