10. So, Venerable Brethren, it is clear why this Apostolic See has never allowed its subjects to take part in the assemblies of non-Catholics: for the union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it, for in the past they have unhappily left it. To the one true Church of Christ, we say, which is visible to all, and which is to remain, according to the will of its Author, exactly the same as He instituted it. During the lapse of centuries, the mystical Spouse of Christ has never been contaminated, nor can she ever in the future be contaminated, as Cyprian bears witness: "The Bride of Christ cannot be made false to her Spouse: she is incorrupt and modest. She knows but one dwelling, she guards the sanctity of the nuptial chamber chastely and modestly." The same holy Martyr with good reason marveled exceedingly that anyone could believe that "this unity in the Church which arises from a divine foundation …More

Will You Enter the Narrow Gate to Heaven? The gospel reading emphasizes the importance of striving to enter through the narrow gate to heaven, highlighting the higher accountability of those who have been given the fullness of truth. While acknowledging human weakness and the inevitability of sin, the focus should be on living a life centered on God, striving to serve Him, and relying on His grace for salvation. By doing so, one can achieve the most wonderful thing: eternal life in heaven. Fr. Altier’s Daily Homilies Fr.

OCTOBER 30 2025 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 13,31-35. Some Pharisees came to Jesus and said, "Go away, leave this area because Herod wants to kill you." He replied, "Go and tell that fox, 'Behold, I cast out demons and I perform healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I accomplish my purpose. Yet I must continue on my way today, tomorrow, and the following day, for it is impossible that a prophet should die outside of Jerusalem.' Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how many times I yearned to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were unwilling! Behold, your house will be abandoned. (But) I tell you, you will not see me until (the time comes when) you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
OCTOBER 30 SAINT ALPHONSUS RODRIGUEZ breski1 (also known as Alonso) Born in Segovia, Spain, July 25, 1533; died at Palma de Majorca in 1617; beatified 1825; canonized 1888; feast formerly on October 31. “The difference between adversity suffered for God and prosperity is greater than that between gold and a lump of lead.” – Saint Alphonsus. Brother Alphonsus proves Mother Teresa’s axiom that small things done with great love is the call of the Christian. Every day Alphonsus Rodriguez prayed to more than 20 confessors, martyrs, and Church Fathers. He had a great veneration for Saint Ursula, and though modern scholarship has done much to revise and alter the story of her martyrdom, the fact remains that a liturgy might be clumsy and inaccurate and yet represent a far more fertile and living expression of religious life than one which has been cleaned and scoured to the point of rendering it sterile. Surely the candor and devotion of Saint Alphonsus is of greater value than the scientific …More
Marking 60 years since Vatican II’s document Gravissimum educationis, Pope Leo XIV published on October 28 his apostolic letter Disegnare nuove mappe di speranza (“Drawing New Maps of Hope”). He uses many evasive phrases to deceive conservatives. A beautiful example is: 'The family remains the primary place of education. Catholic schools collaborate with parents; they do not replace them”. However, Leo XIV also names the “star that guides” him: the 2020 Global Compact on Education (10.1): “I gratefully accept this prophetic legacy entrusted to us by Pope Francis.” “It is an invitation to form an alliance and network to educate for universal fraternity.” This Pact was created in collaboration with anti-Catholic international authorities, including UNESCO, UNICEF, UNDP, OECD, the World Bank and environmental organisations connected with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. . Leo XIV wants to “renew the economy and politics in the service of humanity; and caring for our common home …More
John 15: 19-21 "If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the Word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my Word, they will also keep yours. But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know Him who sent Me."
Yep, this clown eats with his hands because it's "culturally authentic" = non-white, anti-Western. Yet whites in NYC support this barbarism? Don't be alarmed when your city become WORSE than a 3rd-world h*ll hole.
PSALM 9 I will praise thee, O Lady, with my whole heart: and I will declare among the nations thy praise and glory. For to thee is due glory, and thanksgiving, and the voice of praise. May sinners find grace with God by thee, the finder of grace and salvation. May the humble penitents hope for pardon: heal thou the bruises of their hearts. In the beauty of peace and wealth rest: thou shalt feed us after the toil of our pilgrimage. Glory be to the Father, etc.
"[St. Bonaventure – XIII Century AD; Papal States/Kingdom of Burgundy-Arles] PSALM 8 O Lady, Our Lord has become our brother and our Savior. Like the flame in the burning bush, and the dew in the fleece: the Word of God descends into thee forever. The Holy Spirit hath made thee fruitful: the power of the Most High hath overshadowed thee. Blessed be thy most pure conception: blessed be thy virginal bringing forth. Blessed be the purity of thy body: blessed be the sweetness of the mercy of thy heart.

Letter to the Romans 8,31b-39. Brothers and sisters: If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but handed him over for us all, how will he not also give us everything else along with him? Who will bring a charge against God's chosen ones? It is God who acquits us. Who will condemn? It is Christ (Jesus) who died, rather, was raised, who also is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? As it is written: "For your sake we are being slain all the day; we are looked upon as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ …More
Once again we see "past is prologue" - EVERYTHING DISCUSSED IN THIS ARTICLE WAS PRESENT IN SEMINARY FORMATION THIRTY OR MORE YEARS AGO! The notion that current seminaries are "Tridentine" is laughable, and could only be applied to traditionalist groups like the SSPX. Priestly formation since Vatican II has been "off the rails" for decades!
[Catherine of Genoa ~ XV-XVI Century; Genoa, Republic of Genoa] “Chapter III - SEPARATION FROM GOD IS THE GREATEST PUNISHMENT OF PURGATORY WHEREIN PURGATORY DIFFERS FROM HELL ALL the pains of purgatory take their rise from sin, original or actual. God created the soul perfectly pure and free from every spot of sin, with a certain instinctive tendency to find its blessedness in Him. From this tendency it is drawn away by original sin, and still more by the addition of actual sin ; and the farther off it gets, the more wicked it becomes, because it is less in conformity with God. Things are good only so far as they participate in God. To irrational creatures God communicates Himself, without fail, as He wills, and as He has determined ; to the rational soul more or less, according as He finds it purified from the impediment of sin ; so that, when a soul is approaching to that state of first purity and innocence which it had when created, the instinctive desire of seeking happiness in God …More
"They have not the guilt of sin ; and it is this latter which constitutes the malignant will of the damned, who are excluded from sharing in the goodness of God, and therefore remain in that hopeless malignity of will by which they oppose the will of God.”"
THE DIVINE RELATIONS (FOUR ARTICLES) The divine relations are next to be considered, in four points of inquiry: (1) Whether there are real relations in God? (2) Whether those relations are the divine essence itself, or are extrinsic to it? (3) Whether in God there can be several relations distinct from each other? (4) The number of these relations. 1-Whether there are real relations in God? Objection 1: It would seem that there are no real relations in God. For Boethius says (De Trin. iv), “All possible predicaments used as regards the Godhead refer to the substance; for nothing can be predicated relatively.” But whatever really exists in God can be predicated of Him. Therefore no real relation exists in God. Objection 2: Further, Boethius says (De Trin. iv) that, “Relation in the Trinity of the Father to the Son, and of both to the Holy Ghost, is the relation of the same to the same.” But a relation of this kind is only a logical one; for every real relation requires and implies in …More
Brick by brick the Vatican II popes are dismantling the Church of Christ. When they get to the final brick and are laughing with pride, God will intervene and the reign of the Blessed Virgin will begin.
