[St. Catharine of Genoa – XV-XVI Century AD; Genoa, Republic of Genoa] " The great importance of Purgatory, neither mind can conceive nor tongue describe. I see only that its pains are as great as those of hell ; and yet I see that a soul, stained with the slightest fault, receiving this mercy, counts the pains as nought in comparison with this hindrance to her love. And I know that the greatest misery of the souls in Purgatory is to behold in themselves aught that displeases God, and to discover that, in spite of His goodness, they had consented to it. And this is because, being in the state of grace, they sec the reality and the importance of the impediments which hinder their approach to God. " From that furnace of divine love I sec rays of fire dart like burning lamps towards the soul ; and so violent and powerful are they that both soul and body would be utterly destroyed, if that were possible. These rays perform a double office ; they purify and they annihilate. " Consider gold …More
" Have not the boldness to say : ' I will go to confession and gain a plenary indulgence, and thus I shall be saved ?' Remember that the full confession and entire contrition which are requisite to gain a plenary indulgence are not easily attained. Did you know how hardly they are come by, you would tremble with fear and be more sure of losing than of gaining them."
Regarding the scandalous Doctrinal Note “Mater populi fidelis” The Doctrinal Note presented in the past few days at the Vatican, with only its Latin incipit, Mater Populi Fidelis, constitutes yet another scandalous affront from a treacherous and deviant Hierarchy, which for over sixty years, in an unstoppable crescendo, has used its authority to speciously impose its own doctrinal and moral deviations on Catholics, with the aim of dismantling the Catholic Church and losing souls. The haste—one might almost say the fury—to destroy is such that it also highlights the contradictions existing within the synodal body itself, afflicted by a significant pathological bipolarism: on the one hand, it declares the Marian title of Co-redemptrix attributed to the Virgin Mary to be improper, and on the other, it promotes John Henry Newman to Doctor Ecclesiæ, who had defended that title against the Anglicans after their attack on the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. The indignation and sense …More
[St. Anthony of Padua XII-XIII Century AD; Lisbon, Kingdom of Portugal/Padua, Holy Roman Empire; Doctor of the Church] “The words were barely out of the saint s mouth before a great commotion was noticed in the sea. Thousands of fishes of every size and species were seen to come in the greatest order to its surface, the smaller ones placing themselves in front, and the larger ones behind. Then began one of the most extraordinary sermons ever preached. The saint addressed them as if they were beings endowed with reason. “Oh! ye fishes of the deep, praise and thank your God and Creator for the unspeakable blessings He has lavished on you, favoring you above all dumb animals. See and admire the beautiful home He, in His infinite goodness, has prepared for you; look at those crystal waters, in which it is so easy for you to find a refuge against the storm and the enemy. Not only has He provided for all your wants, but He has made you prolific above all other creatures. You alone have been …More

Blessed Gariel Ferretti - November 9 Gabriel Ferretti (c. 1385 - 12 November 1456) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and a professed member from the Order of Friars Minor. He was an ancestor to both Cardinal Gabriele Ferretti and Pope Pius IX having been descended from a long noble lineage. Ferretti entered the religious life after becoming of age and soon after his ordination held two important leadership positions in the order. He set about restoring run down Franciscan convents in the region as well as seeing to the establishment of new ones to deal with an influx of new novices. Ferretti's beatification cause could be traced soon after his death after Pope Callixtus III had Giacomo della Marca collect evidence that would attest to Ferretti's saintliness. Pope Benedict XIV later beatified Ferretti on 19 September 1753 in a decree that recognized his official "cultus" (or longstanding and popular veneration).
NOVEMBER 9 2025 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 2,13-22. Since the Passover of the Jews was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, as well as the money-changers seated there. He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables, and to those who sold doves he said, "Take these out of here, and stop making my Father's house a marketplace." His disciples recalled the words of scripture, "Zeal for your house will consume me." At this the Jews answered and said to him, "What sign can you show us for doing this?" Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up." The Jews said, "This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?" But he was speaking about the temple of his body. Therefore …More

Book of Ezekiel 47,1-2.8-9.12. The angel brought me, Ezekiel, back to the entrance of the temple of the LORD, and I saw water flowing out from beneath the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the façade of the temple was toward the east; the water flowed down from the right side of the temple, south of the altar. He led me outside by the north gate, and around to the outer gate facing the east, where I saw water trickling from the southern side. He said to me, "This water flows into the eastern district down upon the Arabah, and empties into the sea, the salt waters, which it makes fresh. Wherever the river flows, every sort of living creature that can multiply shall live, and there shall be abundant fish, for wherever this water comes the sea shall be made fresh. Along both banks of the river, fruit trees of every kind shall grow; their leaves shall not fade, nor their fruit fail. Every month they shall bear fresh fruit, for they shall be watered by the flow from the sanctuary …More
