A celebration was held in Palermo to seal the shrines containing the bodies of the two holy friars who lived in Palermo in the 15th and 16th centuries. The occasion once again highlights the commitment, duty, and urgency of rebuilding the church, which was almost completely destroyed, to the attention of the community and institutions. The convent, located at the foot of Mount Grifone and fortunately spared from the flames, will once again house the holy relics of Saint Benedict the Moor and Blessed Matthew of Agrigento, which were also damaged in the terrible fire two years ago. The mortal remains will once again be available for veneration by the faithful every day from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. "I still remember that fiery July a couple of years ago," commented the Archbishop of Palermo, Monsignor Corrado Lorefice, "but I have always told people that our duty is to remain holy in the faith because, even if we were unable to have their bodies returned in their …More

Fr. James Altman joins John-Henry Westen to expose what he calls a deliberate campaign to weaken Catholic truth from within. He describes his “exile” as a warning to other priests, enforced through silence and fear, and explains how his new books aim to fortify faithful Catholics with Scripture and timeless doctrine. The conversation also addresses the Vatican’s rejection of Marian titles like Co-Redemptrix, liberal bishops prioritizing illegal immigration over reverent liturgy, and attempts to form a “one-world religion.” Altman blasts these moves as spiritual sabotage, “rat poison” meant to erode doctrine subtly over time.

Praying for Venezuela: Pope, Bishops Call for Peace as Maduro Faces Court in New York Pope Leo XIV urges Venezuelans to pray for peace after Nicolás Maduro's U.S. arrest and court appearance in New York. currentsnews
The president reportedly declined to install opposition leader María Corina Machado as head of the country because she didn’t turn the prize down. “If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” the newspaper’s sources said.
THE DONROE DOCTRINE AS D.T. HAD PRESENTED IT SO PROUDLY IS NOT WELCOME IN ANY CORNER OF THE WORLD AND WILL NEVER BE ACCEPTED. AS D.T. HAS PROVEN THAT HE CAN IGNORE AND UNDERMINE INTERNATIONAL LAWS, THE GINEVRA TREATY, THE U.S. CONGRESS, AND THE U.N. ARTICLES THAT MODERATE CONFLICTS, DIPLOMACY AND WARS IN THE WORLD. The entire world sees the U.S. as a threat now, the commercial warfare is scaling to actual warfare to steal the resources and land from other countries. Latin America has shown opposition against the unjustifiable acts of the U.S., others countries around the world followed from Europe, Africa, Australia, and Asia. The U.S. has lost its image, respect and credibility before THE ENTIRE WORLD. China and Russia are no longer seen as a threat or enemy, it's the U.S. that's taken that place for the lunacy and bloodlust of power of ONE MAN AND HIS SMALL CABINET AND ELITE GROUP.

David Nino Rodriguez @ninoboxer The capture of Maduro will lead to much bigger arrests regarding the Biden election steal of 2020. The gates will open up to: -Smartmatic -Hillary Clinton -Barack Obama -Comey -Brennan -Biden Arrests this year. GAME OVER
Other prophecies also confirm this, there will be a (short) war in March of 2026 and the Great Warning will also happen that exact year. We will lose internet for a period of time, because it's mostly just distraction...
JANUARY 7 2026 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 6,45-52. After the five thousand had eaten and were satisfied, Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and precede him to the other side toward Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. And when he had taken leave of them, he went off to the mountain to pray. When it was evening, the boat was far out on the sea and he was alone on shore. Then he saw that they were tossed about while rowing, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night, he came toward them walking on the sea. He meant to pass by them. But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and cried out. They had all seen him and were terrified. But at once he spoke with them, "Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!" He got into the boat with them and the wind died down. They were (completely) astounded. They had not understood the incident of the loaves. On the contrary, their hearts were hardened.
We Three Kings. by hooplakidz We three kings of Orient are; Bearing gifts we traverse afar, Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Following yonder star. Refrain: O star of wonder, star of light, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light. Born a King on Bethlehem's plain, Gold I bring to crown Him again, King forever, ceasing never, Over us all to reign. Frankincense to offer have I; Incense owns a Deity nigh; Prayer and praising, voices raising, Worshiping God on high. Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume Breathes a life of gathering gloom; Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding, dying, Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. Glorious now behold Him arise; King and God and sacrifice; Alleluia, Alleluia, Sounds through the earth and skies.
Wir sind drei Könige aus dem Morgenland Kings of Orient – Wikipedia Wir sind drei Könige aus dem Morgenland, Bringen Gaben aus der Ferne, Über Feld und Quelle, Moor und Berg Folgen wir jenem Stern. Kehrvers Oh Stern des Wunders, Stern der Nacht, Stern mit heller königlicher Schönheit, Westwärts führend, weiter voran, Führe uns zu deinem vollkommenen Licht. (Melchior) Geboren ist ein König auf Bethlehems Boden, Gold bringe ich, um Ihn nochmals zu krönen, König auf ewig, unaufhörlich, Über uns alle zu herrschen. Kehrvers (Caspar) Weihrauch anzubieten habe ich, Weihrauch ist einer Gottheit nah, Gebet und Preis, alle erheben ihre Stimmen, Beten ihn an, Gott in der Höhe. Kehrvers (Balthasar) Myrrhe kommt von mir, ihr bitterer Duft Atmet ein Leben von angesammelter Düsterkeit; Trauern, Seufzen, Bluten, Sterben, Versiegelt in dem eiskalten Grab. Kehrvers (Alle) Glorreich nun, seht Ihn sich erheben; König und Gott und Opfer; Halleluja, Halleluja, Tönt es über Erde und Himmel. Kehrvers

First Letter of John 4,11-18. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also must love one another. No one has ever seen God. Yet, if we love one another, God remains in us, and his love is brought to perfection in us. This is how we know that we remain in him and he in us, that he has given us of his Spirit. Moreover, we have seen and testify that the Father sent his Son as savior of the world. Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him and he in God. We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us. God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him. In this is love brought to perfection among us, that we have confidence on the day of judgment because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear because fear has to do with punishment, and so one who fears is not yet perfect in love. Psalms 72(71),1-2.10.12-13. O God, with your judgment endow the king, and with your justice, the king's son; …More
On 7–8 January, Pope Leo XIV will preside over the first extraordinary consistory of his pontificate. Time is short and the cardinals are many. Day One: Opening and First Session Registration will begin at noon on 7 January in the atrium of the Paul VI Hall. After a welcome coffee, proceedings will not begin until 3:30 p.m. in the New Synod Hall with communal prayer, followed by greetings from the Dean of the College of Cardinals, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re. Leo XIV will then deliver an introductory address and outline the work to be undertaken. Three Sessions Over Two Days The consistory is structured in three sessions over two days and will rely on small working groups, which will later present group reports. This method was previously used during the meeting of cardinals on the reform of the Roman Curia in late summer 2022. Traditionally, a consistory was conducted in a plenary, centralized format, quite different from the small-group method now being used. The criteria for forming …More
