Our Lady of the New Advent - December 16th, 2025 | No Greater Delight No Greater Delight is a daily Marian podcast meant to start the day with a Marian touch. After examining the Marian feasts celebrated throughout the world on a given day, Fr. Nate offers a brief reflection to help make our love for Our Lady concrete in daily living. The title "No Greater Delight" is inspired by a homily of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, wherein he expresses his joy in preaching about the Virgin Mother, even though he acknowledges the challenge of adequately praising her. Mary's greatness is beyond words.0:00Feasts of Mary Today07:08True Devotion to Mary WhatsApp Channel:Catholic Voice

The statue of the Apostle Andrew, by François Duquesnoy (1594–1643), in St. Peter’s Basilica is covered in dust. This detail was visible during the broadcast of the Eucharistic celebration for the Jubilee of Prisoners on 15 December, presided over by Pope Leo XIV. The Basilica of St. Peter is under the responsibility of Cardinal Mauro Gambetti.
Dal video, si vede che viene inquadrata la statua di Sant'Andrea dentro la Basilica di San Pietro (Sant'Andrea (Duquesnoy) - Wikipedia), posta di fronte l'altare del Baldacchino dove ha celebrato Papa Leone XIV, dove si nota come la statua sia letteralmente ricoperta di polvere, è davvero impressionante.

Yesterday in the Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris, Fr. Raymond Cayré, Fr. Gérard-Martin Cendrier, OFM, Roger Vallé, seminarian, Jean Mestre, layman, and forty-six companions were beatified. They were killed in hatred of the faith in 1944-45 during the Nazi occupation of France. Pope Leo XIV today said: “Let us praise the Lord for these martyrs, courageous witnesses to the Gospel, persecuted and killed for remaining close to their people and faithful to the Church!”
Firing Tucho is a benchmark for Leo XIV: New York canon lawyer and priest Gerald Murray is urging Pope Leo XIV to remove Cardinal Víctor “Tucho” Fernández as prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. Speaking with journalist Raymond Arroyo, Rev Murray called Fernández’s recently resurfaced pornographic writings “a total disgrace” and “a horrendous production done by a priest”. Tucho is “completely unsuited to be a pastor of souls”. Rev Murray recalled that Pope Francis justified Tucho’s earlier books as writings of a younger priest. However, the newly revealed books were written until 2009, when Tucho was aged 46: “If we were doing a profile, a criminal profile, about a sex abuser, and I’m not saying he is a sex abuser, but if you saw this literature coming out and you would say to yourself, ‘Well, it’s quite clear that the sex abuser got started a long time ago.’” The conclusion: “He should be fired.” And: “This is going to be a benchmark for Pope Leo XIV. This …More
Vatican Nativity Unveiled in St. Peter’s Square: Today, the Vatican inaugurated the nativity scene and lit up the Christmas tree in St Peter’s Square. This year's nativity scene was created by the Diocese of Nocera Inferiore–Sarno, which has close links to St Alphonsus Maria de Liguori. His relics are venerated in Pagani, within the diocese. The nativity includes a figure of the saint, who founded the Redemptorists and wrote the Christmas hymn “Tu scendi dalle stelle”.
Il bellissimo Presepio Vaticano di quest’anno, con figure in legno intagliate a mano realizzate nella diocesi italiana di Nocera Inferiore-Sarno, è stato inaugurato questa sera. Comincia davvero a sembrare Natale!
Blessed János Brenner: The “Hungarian Tarcisius” | Young Priest & Martyr for the Eucharist Blessed János Brenner (1931–1957) was a young Hungarian Cistercian priest and martyr whose short life shone with extraordinary love for Jesus and the Eucharist. Ordained at just 24, he became known for his joyful youth ministry, drawing many young people back to the faith during a time of harsh communist persecution in Hungary. Because his ministry threatened the authorities, János was targeted. In 1957, he was deceived by a false request to bring Holy Communion to a sick person. On his way through the woods, he was ambushed and stabbed 32 times. He was found the next day, dead — still clutching the Eucharist he had been carrying to the supposed dying person. For this reason, he is lovingly called the “Hungarian Tarcisius,” after the early Christian martyr who died protecting the Blessed Sacrament. Beatified by Pope Francis in 2018, Blessed János is a powerful witness to courage, purity of …More
Witness account from Bondi Beach tonight: He reports that at least four police officers did not return fire for over 20 minutes yesterday. The police station is only a few hundred metres away. Any comment from Cardinal Parolin?
Also these are crimes of murder for which laws exist to investigate and prosecute. Jail and even enforce capital punishment. Not excuses for international wars.

I watched that speech when he first made it. Than watched it one or two more times. It was a long speech. I remember in part of his speech he was talking about how one country I won't mention, and how they said that GOD was a woman. Then added But so far they are only thinking about. Then said right after that, GOD Forgive them, for they no not what they do. I cracked up over that. This speech was back in 2022 or 23. I believe.
JD Vance Under Fire After ‘Theft’ Remark — Usha Told to “Go Back to India” ANCN What he said: In an X post over the weekend, Vance wrote, “Mass migration is theft of the American Dream. It has always been this way, and every position paper, think tank piece and econometric study suggesting otherwise is paid for by the people getting rich off the old system.” The vice president was responding to a video of a Louisiana construction company owner who claimed business had improved since Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) began operations in the state, saying he has “gotten more calls in the last week than I’ve gotten in the last three months.” Vance also said that a future Trump administration would try to remove as many undocumented migrants as possible. Instant backlash: The post immediately sparked accusations of hypocrisy given Vance’s own family background. “Ok, send your wife and kids back to India and we’ll believe you mean it. You and the orange ... are married to …More
