Book of Isaiah 26,1-6. On that day they will sing this song in the land of Judah: "A strong city have we; he sets up walls and ramparts to protect us. Open up the gates to let in a nation that is just, one that keeps faith. A nation of firm purpose you keep in peace; in peace, for its trust in you." Trust in the LORD forever! For the LORD is an eternal Rock. He humbles those in high places, and the lofty city he brings down; He tumbles it to the ground, levels it with the dust. It is trampled underfoot by the needy, by the footsteps of the poor. Psalms 118(117),1.8-9.19-21.25-27a. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his mercy endures forever. It is better to take refuge in the LORD Than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the LORD Than to trust in princes. Open to me the gates of justice; I will enter them and give thanks to the LORD. This is the gate of the LORD; the just shall enter it. I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me and have been my savior. …More
Saint Barbara of Nicomedia - December 4 That's don Reto Nay, cofounder of GTV! Virgin and Martyr (3rd century) St. Barbara's pagan father Dioscorus confined her in a tower and goaded her to renounce Jesus. In that forced solitude, she prayed and studied. She also received formation and baptism. When St. Barbara's activities were uncovered, Dioscorus was enraged. He denounced St. Barbara before a civil tribunal. As punishment, she was tortured and beheaded. Martyrologies state that Dioscorus was St. Barbara's executioner. Some also state that he was killed by a lightning bolt. St. Barbara's prayers likely resulted in conversions and miracles through her intercession. Lives of the Saints, by Alban Butler, Benziger Bros. ed. [1894]

Barbe Memorial 4 December formerly 16 December limited to local calendars in 1969 Profile A beautiful maiden imprisoned in a high tower by her father Dioscorus for disobedience. While there, she was tutored by philosphers, orators and poets. From them she learned to think, and decided that polytheism was nonsense. With the help of Origen and Valentinian, she converted to Christianity. Her father denounced her to the local authorities for her faith, and they ordered him to kill her. She escaped, but he caught her, dragged her home by her hair, tortured her, and killed her. He was immediately struck by lightning, or according to some sources, fire from heaven. Her imprisonment led to her association with towers, then the construction and maintenance of them, then to their military uses. The lightning that avenged her murder led to asking her protection against fire and lightning, and her patronage of firefighters, etc. Her association with things military and …More

BABYLON THE GREAT--Maria Valtorta Revelaciones. Who is Maria Valtorta? (1897-1961) Maria Valtorta was born in 1897 in Caserta, Italy. In 1916 the lord attracted her to Himself by means of a dream which was to remain vivid throughout her life. In an evangelical vision, which seemed to anticipate the waking visions of her literary work, Jesus aided Maria with words of admonishment and piety. In her early 20's and in the spring of 1920, while walking along the street, she was struck in the back by a young delinquent. With an iron bar stripped from a bed, he came from behind and struck her with all his might. She remained confined to bed for three months, just a sample of what was to be her future complete infirmity. January 4th, 1933 was the last day Maria was able to leave her house and after April 1, 1934, she was no longer able to leave her bed. Her activity as writer reached intensity from 1943 to 1947, and continued, diminishing progressively, until 1953. The notebooks written by Maria …More
'Cast a look round the world, just observe the manner of living, of speaking, and you will see immediately whether the evil of sin is known in the world or whether any attention is paid to it. Not to speak of those who live decidedly irreligious and wicked lives, how few are those who pass for good and who approach the sacraments are aware of the great evil that sin is, and the great ruin it brings with it. It must necessarily happen that, on account of this certainly culpable ignorance in which most men live, an enormous number will come to be damned, because no sin is pardoned which is not detested, and it is impossible to detest sin properly if it is not known as such.' St. Joseph Cafasso 'There are many who arrive at the faith, but few that are lead into the heavenly kingdom.' Pope St. Gregory the Great, Doctor and Father of the Church 'It is as though Jesus said: "O My Father, I am indeed going to clothe myself with human flesh, but the greater part of the world will set no value …More
DECEMBER 4 2025 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 7,21.24-27. Jesus said to his disciples: "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock. And everyone who listens to these words of mine but does not act on them will be like a fool who built his house on sand. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. And it collapsed and was completely ruined."
Prevost, James Martin and Tucho's obstinacy in their rebellion against the Holy Trinity and against the Laws of God and the Church are further proof that Bergoglio died in final impenitence, dragging them with him into the same abyss of perdition.
German princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis spoke with TichysEinblick.de on November 27 about the Church, the state, and the family. Key quotes - In terms of social policy, I am very liberal. But when it comes to Faith, living Faith, and to the liturgy, I am much more conservative. These are the essential things when one speaks to the Ruler of the world. One must adopt a certain attitude. - When people meet the English king, or an emperor in Africa or Asia, they bow. And this reverence, of course, is also necessary in church and in the life of Faith. - I’m absolutely opposed to the idea that one must turn one’s tolerance into a kind of religion. - For decades women were told that they are only complete human beings if they have a career. But being a housewife and raising children is a profession. - The most important lesson is truly that we must return to marriage and family. - If the political will is there … we can return to a normal birth rate — that is not below, how shall we say,…More

DEC 3, 2025 I ALMOST DIED 17 YEARS AGO IN 2008, I'm currently taking medication. I was diagnosed with a terminal illness in 2002. But in 2008 in September I ended up sick, after going to see a Doctor, I was sent home with a misdiagnose, tylenol and anti-biotics. The Doctor was negligent to run tests as I asked, she was a young female pregnant Doctor probably in her mid thirties. In the last week of september I had already lost 33 pounds in less than a month, high fever, body aches, unable to eat, vomiting, diarrhea, extreme weakness, but I felt the presence of God, so much love, so much peace, although my pains where great. I was hungry but I was unable to eat anything anymore, not even a soup or broth would make it to my stomach without me vomiting. A brother and his family came to visit from a different state in the U.S., I was under my mom's care at that time as I had nobody to look after me. I had refused to go to the hospital, because for 3 consecutive times that same year (2008)…More
Blessed Edward Coleman | Martyr of the Popish Plot | Feast Day: December 3 | Catechism for Kids Blessed Edward Coleman (1636–1678) was an English Catholic layman whose courage and faith shone brightly during one of the most turbulent and unjust moments in English history. His feast day is celebrated on December 3rd. Born into a strict Puritan household, Edward surprised everyone by converting to Catholicism as a young man. He eventually served as secretary to Mary of Modena, the Catholic wife of James, Duke of York — which placed him right at the centre of the political tensions of the time. Edward longed for religious freedom and wrote letters hoping to gain support for ending anti-Catholic laws in England. These letters were not treasonous — but they were later used against him when a liar named Titus Oates invented the fake “Popish Plot,” a completely fabricated conspiracy that claimed Catholics wanted to kill King Charles II. Edward was arrested, given an unfair trial, and condemned …More
Wed Dec 3, 2025 - 8:29 am EST (LifeSiteNews) — “Ten years ago it was sexting and nudes causing havoc in classrooms,” writes Sally Weale in a chilling new report at the Guardian. “Today, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have made it child’s play to generate deepfake nude images or videos, featuring what appear to be your friends, your classmates, even your teachers. This may involve removing clothes, getting an image to move suggestively or pasting someone’s head on to a pornographic image.” I have been covering the rise of the next horrific manifestation of our collective porn crisis here at LifeSiteNews since 2019, when I warned that the rise of “deepfakes” would inevitably result in people making artificial pornography of their peers. Just a few years later, I reported on stories of middle-schoolers making deepfake pornography of kids they attended class with; last year, I reported on the rise of “nudify” apps that can digitally undress people in photographs, and …
