Friday of the second week of Advent. Of the Nativity of Mary Our Blessed Lady. DAILY MEDITATIONS OF THE MYSTERIES OF OUR HOLY FAITH, By the P. Alonso de Andrade FROM THE COMPANY OF JESUS. PRAYER TO BEGIN By the sign of the Holy Cross, from our enemies delier us, Lord, our God. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. My Lord and my God: I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me. I adore you with deep reverence. I ask you for forgiveness of my sins and grace to make this time of prayer fruit. My Mother Immaculate, Saint Joseph, my father and lord, my guardian Angel: intercede for me. Meditation Friday of the second week of Advent. Of the Nativity of Mary Our Blessed Lady. POINT ONE. Consider how Divine Providence arranged, that the holy fathers of the Blessed Virgin be elderly and sterile, because she had to be more daughter of grace than of nature: such must be the one that God chooses with special grace for her service. Look at the …More
Canadian Bill Criminalizes Quoting Holy Scripture: In Canada, Bill C-9 would amend the Criminal Code by removing the religious exemption in Section 319(3)(b). The change could allow quoting Holy Scripture in good faith to be prosecuted as hate speech, with penalties of up to two years in prison. The proposal comes from the Liberal government. The Canadian Bishops' Conference has formally opposed the bill in a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney, warning of legal uncertainty for clergy, educators, and believers and a restriction of religious freedom.
The secular toxic legislation is largely an attack on Christians and Christian belief. The governing Liberal Party of Canada and the Bloc Party from Quebec have no respect for Christians. Today, Catholic Quebec that once was strong is dying quickly. How can you uproot your Christian heritage, the very foundations of the nation, and still have a country? You won’t. You have what former PM Justin Trudeau referred to as a post-nation state with no core values. We have posted several entries about this very sad development in Canada at Everyday for Life Canada.

Australian woman fined $95k over addressing transvestite athletes as men: Kirralie Smith, an Australian women’s rights advocate, has been ordered by a New South Wales court to pay AUS$95,000 after referring "unlawfully" to two male transvestite players as 'male' in a series of social media posts. The decision, published in early December, also requires her to issue a public apology on her social media platforms. Smith says she will appeal the decision, arguing that it restricts her ability to speak about women’s sports and gender policy issues.

We continue posting daily Advent reflections by the Church Fathers. It's a good way to prepare to celebrate Christmas. The reflections and quotations come from the book titled, Advent and Christmas with the Church Fathersby Marco Pappalardo. Introduction Good and evil are not far removed from human experience: they are the light and darkness of everyday life. There is a human and material good that needs to be illuminated by the light of Christ to prevent it from becoming evil; there are adversities that can plunge us into the darkest of depths without the burning flame of faith. We can choose to follow the light of the star or to remain motionless, lamenting the darkness. St. Augustine, Thus it is night down here; but this night seems to have its light and its shadows. If we call it night in general, what is its light? The prosperity and happiness of this world, temporal joy, and temporal honours are the quasi-light of this night. But the adversity and bitterness of tribulations and …
One summer, just like every year, a couple was getting ready to send their son to spend a few weeks with his grandmother out in the countryside. But this time felt different. Their boy had grown taller, gained a little swagger, and suddenly announced: “Mom, Dad, come on. I’m not a kid anymore. I can get to Grandma’s by myself. You don’t need to escort me like I’m in second grade.” The parents hesitated, exchanged a worried look — but eventually agreed. And so here they were: the train platform buzzing with people, the train about to pull out. Mom was giving him her usual last-minute reminders, Dad was adjusting the straps on his backpack. The boy rolled his eyes: “I know, I know! You’ve told me all this a hundred times!” Right then, his father leaned in and whispered: “Son, if at any moment you get scared or overwhelmed, here…” He slipped something quietly into the boy’s pocket. The train pulled away. At first, the boy sat confidently, staring out the window like everything was …More

"What kind of unity do we actually want?", asked Cardinal Kurt Koch about ecumenism talking to Die Tagespost on 11 December. He explained that the Church and orthodox groups seek unity in terms of faith and sacraments. However, some Protestant groups envisage "unity" whereby each group remains as it is while recognising one another mutually. With the Orthodox, a consensus has yet to be reached, especially regarding the authority of the Pope. Cardinal Koch noted that a Pope seen merely as "primus inter pares" with no real authority "would only work in fair weather".
Kurienkardinal Kurt Koch betont, dass auf dem Weg zur christlichen Einheit noch viel zu klären ist – vor allem, welche Form von Einheit angestrebt wird. Während katholische und orthodoxe Kirchen eine Einheit in Glauben, Sakramenten und Ämtern wollen, sehen manche reformatorische Kirchen eher ein Nebeneinander bestehender Kirchen als ausreichende Einheit. Im Dialog mit der Orthodoxie sind besonders filioque und die päpstliche Unfehlbarkeit strittige Punkte, doch Koch zeigt sich zuversichtlich. Der Ukraine-Krieg erschwert die Gespräche, da russisch-orthodoxe Vertreter den Dialog teilweise verlassen haben. Die jüngste Papstreise habe im Libanon viel Hoffnung geweckt, berichtet Koch. Papst Leo XIV. habe mit seinen Ansprachen und Begegnungen den Menschen Mut für eine bessere Zukunft gemacht.
The Amsterdam Apparitions - Lady of All Nations - 1of2 Sacred Heart Publications The Apparitions of the Lady of All Nations was declared to be of supernatural origin on the 31st of May, 2002. In July 2005, The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith requested, "that the words who once was Mary be left out of the prayer of the Lady of All Nations out of consideration for those who do not understand this phrase." The ending of the prayer is now to say: “May the Lady of All Nations, the Blessed Virgin Mary, be our Advocate. These messages are filled with prophecies. youtube.com/watch?v=kmGrlgKBsHE
More pornographic texts of pro-homosexual Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, 63, have emerged. ElWanderer.com published today new quotes from different books. The disgusting texts are more of the same soft-porn style as published by Tucho in Heal Me with Your Mouth: The Art of Kissing, 1995, and in The Mystical Passion: Spirituality and Sensuality, 1998. The latter is about male and female orgasms. The newly discovered books show that the first two were not a youthful mistake, but that this erotic mindset was constant. KISS: Your mouth sings / without using words. Aged 39, Tucho wrote in his 2002 book ¿Por qué no termino de sanarme? (“Why can’t I finish healing myself?”), on page 10: “A body can make an impact if it wears the right clothes, clothes that awaken sensuality by accentuating interesting shapes, depending on the body type. The sensuality of tanned shoulders and arms is accentuated by wearing a T-shirt. Elegance is highlighted by concealing fat with a black vest and white …More
Voice of "The Baroness" “A priest is a lover of God, a priest is a lover of men, a priest is a holy man because he walks before the face of the All-Holy. A priest understands all things, a priest forgives all things, a priest encompasses all things. The heart of a priest is pierced, like Christ’s, with the lance of love. The heart of a priest is open, like Christ’s, for the whole world to walk through. The heart of a priest is a vessel of compassion, the heart of a priest is a chalice of love, the heart of a priest is a trusting place of human and divine love. A priest is a man whose goal is to be another Christ; a priest is a man who lives to serve. A priest is a man who has crucified himself so that he too may be lifted up and draw all things to Christ. A priest is a man in love with God. A priest is a gift of God to man and of man to God. A priest is a symbol of the Word made flesh, a priest is the naked sword of God’s justice, a priest is the hand of God’s mercy, a priest is the …More
Italian Priest Proposes "Baby Girl" as Christ in Nativity scene: On 3 December, Father Vitaliano Della Sala, pastor in Capocastello (Diocese of Avellino, Italy), told a local television station that a 'baby girl Jesus' should be introduced into nativity scenes because God could have incarnated as a woman as well. This "provocation" should stimulate reflection on women's "access" to Holy Orders: "I was thinking of having a baby girl Jesus born, to say that if Jesus was born male, this does not mean He privileged us men and excluded the possibility of women becoming deacons, priests and even bishops," Don Della Sala said. In 2023, the pro-homosexual priest featured two lesbians at the side of the manger.

I welcome this sort of stuff - The Orthodox Church ( who is monitoring this forum) will help spread the news of the Novus Ordo Heresies, further dividing the ever chance of unification. Imagine that, promoting a female messiah, and promoting young girls with hand grenades, and venerating NAZI's These Buggers are terrorists.
