Jimmy Lai, a Catholic dissident from Hong Kong who creates religious drawings in his prison cell, has been convicted by the Chinese government on absurd charges. For background information, here is an interview with his daughter.
Claire Lai, the daughter of 78-year-old Catholic convert Jimmy Lai, has spoken out for the first time about her father, who has been imprisoned under Hong Kong’s National Security Law for five years. The charge is “collusion with foreign forces.” According to Claire, her father is in rapidly declining health, suffering from diabetes, hypertension and infections, as well as severe weight loss. He lives in a windowless cell in heat, with no access to fresh air or sunlight. She says he has been denied regular medical care, the Eucharist and even his rosary. Yet his faith sustains him: he prays daily, reads the Gospel when permitted, and believes that God is with him. “He is innocent,” she says. “He has suffered enough. Unless something changes, he may become a martyr for freedom.”

European media immediately stirred up panic. They argued that to prevent disease outbreaks from spreading directly from the US to Europe, vaccination rates in these countries must remain high. However, serious illnesses or even deaths from childhood diseases have become very rare. This is not, as is often claimed, due to vaccinations. The mortality figures of the last 130 years are clear: even before the advent of vaccination, measles deaths had already decreased by over 99 percent. Source. Once again, the scientific justification for the foundations of pseudoscience—applied vaccinology—which traces its origins back to Pasteur’s fraudulent practices, is crumbling in the face of the facts. The “proof” of the health benefits of vaccinations, disseminated worldwide for over a century and a half, is deeply …

While more than 10 million pilgrims filled the streets of Tepeyac for the 12 December celebrations honouring Our Lady of Guadalupe, a serious internal crisis has been unfolding at the Basilica in Mexico City. According to InfoVaticana (15 December), the rector, Canon Efraín Hernández Díaz, has been removed from office and placed under a canonical investigation ordered by the Archdiocese of Mexico. The move followed an unprecedented formal complaint by the Guadalupe chapter to Cardinal Carlos Aguiar Retes. The canons accuse the rector of opaque financial administration, lack of transparency and accountability, and of bypassing them. The chapter shares legal responsibility for overseeing the sanctuary. According to the canons, these practices endangered both the material assets and the spiritual mission of Mexico’s most important Marian shrine. In response, Cardinal Aguiar removed the rector on 20 September and ordered a preliminary canonical investigation, opened on 3 October. The …More
Book of Numbers 24,2-7.15-17a. When Balaam raised his eyes and saw Israel encamped, tribe by tribe, the spirit of God came upon him, and he gave voice to his oracle: The utterance of Balaam, son of Beor, the utterance of the man whose eye is true, The utterance of one who hears what God says, and knows what the Most High knows, Of one who sees what the Almighty sees, enraptured, and with eyes unveiled: How goodly are your tents, O Jacob; your encampments, O Israel! They are like gardens beside a stream, like the cedars planted by the LORD. His wells shall yield free-flowing waters, he shall have the sea within reach; His king shall rise higher than. . . . and his royalty shall be exalted. Then Balaam gave voice to his oracle: The utterance of Balaam, son of Beor, the utterance of the man whose eye is true, The utterance of one who hears what God says, and knows what the Most High knows, Of one who sees what the Almighty sees, enraptured and with eyes unveiled. I see him, though not now …More
Beata Vergine del Patrocinio - December 14th, 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.

BEATA VERGINE DEL PATROCINIO Faenza – 14 dicembre 1954 – Incoronazione Una donna della Famiglia Baldi entra nel convento benedettino camaldolese con il nome di suor Francesca portando con se un quadro miracoloso che ritrae la Vergine che allatta il Bambino Gesù. La sacra immagine della Madonna del Patrocinio, attualmente venerata nella Chiesa del Monastero di S. Caterina, a Faenza, fu prima onorata nella casa della Famiglia Baldi, a Forti, la quale diede alla Comunità Camaldolese una figlia, con il nome di Suor Francesca. Alla morte di questa, il Vescovo di Forti volle che la sacra immagine fosse trasferita nella Chiesa delle Suore Camaldolesi. Ciò avvenne nell’anno 1614, con grande solennità e concorso di popolo. Le Suore, meravigliate per la fede e il fervore manifestati dai Forlivesi in quella occasione, decisero di collocare la immagine della Vergine in una cappella di marmo, eretta in suo onore. L’ultima domenica di settembre del 1650, con l’intervento del Cardinale …More

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.
