[HILDEGARD OF BINGEN was born into a noble family in Bermersheim in 1098. At the age of eight her family gave her into the care of a religious noblewoman, Jutta of Spanheim, who took Hildegard with her to become a recluse at the Disibodenberg monastery. Some time between 1112 and 1115, when the monastery became a convent, Hildegard took religious vows. After Jutta’s death in 1136, Hildegard was elected abbess at Disibodenberg. At this time she started to write about the visions she had been experiencing. Her first work, Scivias, appeared with Papal approval in 1151, just after she had established her own religious community at Rupertsberg, near Bingen. Her collection of religious songs, the Symphonia, appeared in 1158. She then produced a number of other works, including The Book of Life’s Merits (c. 1163), The Book of Divine Works (c. 113), lives of local saints, and various musical, scientific and medical works. She also invented a private language, which formed the basis of two short …More
"Venerable Father Bernard, you are held wonderfully in high honour by the power of God. You are a terror to the unlawful foolishness of the world; you burn in the love of God’s son; you are eager to win men for the banner of the Holy Cross to fight wars in the Christian army against the fury of the pagans. Father, I ask you, by the living God, to attend to my questions."
Sweden’s public broadcaster edited President Donald Trump's January 6 speech in a way that misrepresented his message, much as the BBC has been accused of doing, the Kvartal newspaper has reported. SVT, which is publicly funded, edited footage of Trump’s 2021 speech at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., omitting key moments where he called on supporters to behave “peacefully and patriotically,” according to Swedish outlet Kvartal. Newsweek has contacted SVT via email for comment. With the White House in the background, President Donald Trump speaks at a rally on January 6, 2021, in Washington, D.C. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin) Why it Matters Kvartal's investigation into SVT parallels criticism recently faced by the BBC over similar edits in a Panorama documentary, which led to a public apology and resignations from the U.K. public broadcaster’s leadership.

Trojan horse of media control By George Christensen What if tomorrow you woke up and found the internet censored, sanitised, and surveilled — and no one had stopped it? That is exactly what’s barrelling toward you under the bland label “Digital Duty of Care.” The Albanese Government claims it’s about “safety,” but the reality is chilling: censorship, surveillance, and permanent political control. This proposal would force platforms to erase lawful content, monitor what you say, and obey unelected bureaucrats who decide what is “harmful.” Imagine needing to show ID just to comment on the news or discuss politics. One wrong move and companies face multimillion-dollar fines, so they will always choose censorship over risk. Here’s what this scheme quietly installs: Content moderation dictated by bureaucrats with no public accountability Massive fines pushing platforms to silence anything controversial Vague “harm” standards that erase legal speech — no court, no appeal The …
[Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort – XVII-XVIII Century AD; Montfort-sur-Meu, France/Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre, France; Total consecration to Jesus through Mary] “Introduction 1. Here is a secret, chosen soul, which the most High God taught me and which I have not found in any book, ancient or modern. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, I am confiding it to you, with these conditions: a) That you share it only with people who deserve to know it because they are prayerful, give alms to the poor, do penance, suffer persecution, are unworldly, and work seriously for the salvation of souls. b) That you use this secret to become holy and worthy of heaven, for the more you make use of it the more benefit you will derive from it. Under no circumstances must you let this secret make you idle and inactive. It would then become harmful and lead to your ruin. c) That you thank God every day of your life for the grace he has given you in letting you into a secret that you do not deserve to know. As …More
"3. Chosen soul, living image of God and redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus Christ, God wants you to become holy like him in this life, and glorious like him in the next."
"2. Before you read any further, in an understandable impatience to learn this truth, kneel down and say devoutly the Ave Maris Stella (“Hail, thou star of ocean”), and the “Come, Holy Spirit”, to ask God to help you understand and appreciate this secret given by him."

I ask myself, how is it that the Chechen Muslims accept peace between themselves and the rest of Russia. Which is mostly Orthodox. But the west sees the out stretched hand of President Putin and rejects it and laughs. If we had good leaders, this is how the rest of the world would be able to live. Together in peace and love. This is just an example of what President Putin did for his country. This is exactly what the west, US and most of the world hates.
5G und WLAN: Die ignorierten Fakten Die Organisation diagnose:funk kritisiert in einem offenen Brief eine bekannte TV-Sendung, die 5G und WLAN als risikofrei darstellte, da sie zentrale wissenschaftliche Fakten ignoriert habe. Die Kritik zielt auf das sogenannte „thermische Dogma“ ab. Das „thermische Dogma“ ist die Annahme, dass hochfrequente elektromagnetische Felder (HF-EMF) – das ist die Strahlung von Mobilfunk und WLAN – nur schädlich sein könne, wenn sie den Körper erwärmt. Hunderte seriöse Studien belegen jedoch biologische Effekte, die ohne Erhitzung ablaufen. Sehen sie dazu auch die umfangreiche Literaturliste in der Anfrage von diagnose:funk an ZDFneo. Experten weisen darauf hin, dass diese unbeachteten nicht-thermischen Effekte oxidativen Stress – eine zellschädigende Reaktion durch freie Radikale – verursachen können. Des Weiteren zeigten hochwertige Tierstudien, die als „Goldstandard“ gelten, ein statistisch signifikantes Krebspotenzial für bestimmte Tumore bei Ratten …More
"The venerable Benedict extended his hand, made the sign of the cross, and, by means of this holy sign, broke the glass which was held up at some distance from him, so that the glass containing the poison was as quickly broken, as if, instead of blessing it with the sign of the cross, he had flung a stone and broken it. Beholding this wonder, the man of God knew at once that the glass contained a deadly potion, since it was unable to bear the sign of life."
“Of a glass that St. Benedict broke by making over it the sign of the CROSS. THE man of God, being freed from temptations, made new progress in virtue, and his soul became still more fruitful in good works, just as we see a field yielding more abundant fruit after it has been cleared of the thorns and put under cultivation. His life appeared so holy and edifying that every one eulogized it, and his name became famous throughout the whole country. Not far from his retreat there was a monastery whose Abbot had lately died. The whole community immediately repaired to the venerable Benedict and earnestly besought him to be their superior. For a long time he refused, alleging as an excuse that his manner of living was too different from theirs to suit each other; but at length, overcome by their importunity, he acceded to their wishes. Thus having undertaken to govern the community, he applied himself to cause the laws of monastic life to be observed; he was careful that the Religious should …More
