Dan 2:31-45
King Nebuchadnezzar's dream reminds us to take our time, to build slowly, little by little each day, to reach our goal.
And half of the way through, we don't worry if we find it's not fast or effective enough. We continue to move forward one day at a time, one step at a time.
Lk 21:5-11
"While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, Jesus says, “All that you see here—the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down.'"
Of course, we saw the destruction of the Temple in 60 AD.
But here Jesus goes beyond the earthly sense. What is earthly will pass away, what is of God remains: Love, peace, joy, life.
Let us live in this moment and not in the past nor the future, nor for what will be destroyed anyway.
Biblical texts: NAB-RE

They only wanted relief.
Pregnant women everywhere were searching for a medicine gentle enough to calm their nausea… something to help them rest in a world that never stopped moving.
Then came the “miracle”: Thalidomide.
A white, elegant pill.
Prescribed freely.
Marketed boldly.
Sold without hesitation.
Doctors were told it was perfectly safe.
So safe, they claimed, “even children can take it.”
No one mentioned that it had never been properly tested.
No one questioned the confidence of the smiling pharmaceutical ads.
And so the dream began…
A woman in London finally sleeps after nights of vomiting.
Another in Munich feels peace for the first time in months.
Thousands of pregnant women worldwide swallow the little white pill—
unaware that something unthinkable is unfolding inside them.
Then the due dates came.
But instead of the first cry of life… there was silence.
A baby born without arms.
Another without legs.
A tiny girl with fingers like unfinished buds.
Dozens. Hundreds. Thousands. …More

Greek Catholic Uniates in Hungary Removed the Filioque in September

Since 1 September 2025, the Greek Catholic Church in Hungary has omitted the 'Filioque' from the Creed during the Divine Liturgy.
This decision to abandon a Catholic tenet in order to appease the schismatic Orthodox was announced on Hd.gorogkatolikus.hu.
The article argues that, in recent decades, Pope John Paul II prayed with Orthodox patriarchs, omitting the 'Filioque'. It claims that this change is not an innovation, but a return to a text prayed by ancestors.
The current version states that the "Holy Spirit [...] proceeds from the Father", which can easily be misunderstood. According to the Western tradition, the Holy Spirit proceeds "from the Father and the Son". The Eastern fathers said, what is also legitimately formulated, that he proceeds "from the Father through the Son". However, the Holy Spirit does not proceed from the Father alone.

The Ukrainian Catholics in America did that more than a decade ago.

The case is to claim that the Church can err.

Leo XIV Eliminates the Filioque with a Footnote

Pope Leo XIV has issued a new Apostolic Letter titled In unitate fidei (“In the Unity of Faith”), calling Christians to renewed "dialogue" and "unity".
Released on Sunday to mark the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, the document contains the usual word salad about "shared foundations" of the Christian faith. Next Friday, Leo XIV and the controversial Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew will visit Nicaea, near today’s Iznik in Turkey.
Credo in pluralitatem Ecclesiarum
In the new letter, Leo XIV writes that Christian unity is not about “returning” to the past, but about “an ecumenism that looks to the future, that seeks reconciliation through dialogue.”
He even speaks - contrary to the Faith in the ONE Church founded by Christ - of a “current status quo of the diversity of Churches and ecclesial communities.”
Leo XIV continues: “We must therefore leave behind theological controversies that have lost their raison d’être in order to develop a common understanding and, even …More

“Anywhere we could isolate them or take them without a media frenzy,” our source said. “We control the environment.” This is how its done-- drain the swamp, that is. When I think of the sheer magnitude of all that we have seen, which was only the tip of the iceberg, it blows my mind. No wonder friends and family can't grasp it...but they will one day. I remain so very grateful to #ourMAGAPOTUS and the US military for all this hard work and - basically - winning WWIII.

Saint Cecilia: From the Revelations of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich.
cybrotius
Cecilia’s Saintly Marriage
Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich was blessed with countless visions of the lives of Jesus, Mary, and the saints. Here, she recounts her visions of St. Cecilia, following her virtue, chastity, and relationships with her guardian angel and her betrothed.
I saw the Saint sitting in a very plain four-cornered room, on her knees a flat triangular box, about an inch high, over which were stretched strings which she touched with both hands. Her face was upturned and over her hovered bright, shining spirits like angels or blessed children. Cecilia seemed conscious of their presence. I often beheld her in this posture.
There was also a youth standing by her, of singularly pure and delicate appearance; he was taller than she, and full of deference for her. He seemed to obey her orders. I think it was Valerian, for I afterward saw him bound with another to a stake, struck with rods, and then …More

Die Visionen der seligen Anna Katharina Emmerick schildern das Leben der heiligen Cäcilia, besonders ihre Reinheit, ihre Beziehung zu ihrem Schutzengel und zu ihrem späteren Gatten Valerian.
Cäcilia erscheint Emmerick oft in einem schlichten Raum, musizierend auf Saiteninstrumenten, während helle, engelartige Gestalten über ihr schweben.
Schon als Kind wird sie von einem Engel in Gestalt eines schönen Jungen begleitet, der für andere unsichtbar ist und ihr das Musizieren beibringt.
Cäcilia wächst in einem wohlhabenden römischen Haus auf. In ihrer Kindheit spielt sie häufig mit Valerian und dessen Bruder, die wie in ihrer Obhut erzogen erscheinen.
Heimlich bringt sie mit ihren Spielkameraden Lebensmittel und Früchte zu Armen sowie zu verborgenen Christen, die in Gemäuern und unterirdischen Räumen leben. Dort begegnet sie auch Papst Urban, der sie unterrichtet und vermutlich tauft.
Valerian versucht Cäcilia in jungen Jahren zu umarmen, doch sie weist ihn ab. Der Engel schützt sie …More

Ukraine’s “EnergyGate” scandal deepens: Zelensky allies implicated in $100M corruption scheme – NaturalNews.com

Ukraine is embroiled in its most damaging corruption scandal since the Russian invasion began, with President Volodymyr Zelensky's inner circle facing allegations of embezzling $100 million from the country's energy sector.
The revelations have shaken public trust at a critical moment, as Ukraine battles Russian airstrikes on its power grid while relying on Western aid to sustain its war effort.
Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) revealed this week that a 15-month investigation, codenamed Operation Midas, uncovered a sprawling kickback scheme involving Energoatom, Ukraine's state nuclear energy company. Prosecutors allege that officials demanded bribes of 10-15 percent from contractors supplying protective infrastructure for nuclear plants—critical defenses against Russian missile strikes.

Ukraine wasn't voted the most corrupt country for decades for nothing. And that money they pocket is tax payer's money. Going to the enemy of mankind. Sinning every great sin there is.

The day the Berlin wall fell Putin who was there and a story untold.

I would like to bring to your attention the episode of the program which was broadcast on one of the big Russian channels on the 1st of October, 2012. In this program journalist Andrey Karaulov tells about the episode which happened to Vladimir Putin in 1989 in Dresden, and was unknown till the program went on the air. At that time Putin was KGB lieutenant-colonel. The author of the program is absolutely sure that this situation was not made up since thousands of Dresden citizens became the witnesses of this event, and the story of how it all happened may be heard almost in any bar of Dresden.
In 1991 President Putin left the KGB.

Martyrs of Vietnam - November 24
Also known as
Martyrs of Tonkin
Martyrs of Annam
Martyrs of IndoChina
Memorial
24 November
several of these saints have another memorial day as they were beatified and on the calendar prior to the canonization of the group
Profile
Between the arrival of the first Portuguese missionary in 1533, through the Dominicans and then the Jesuit missions of the 17th century, the politically inspired persecutions of the 19th century, and the Communist-led terrors of the twentieth, there have been many thousands of Catholics and other Christians murdered for their faith in Vietnam. Some were priests, some nuns or brothers, some lay people; some were foreign missionaries, but most were native Vietnamese killed by their own government and countrymen.
Record keeping being what it was, and because the government did not care to keep track of the people it murdered, we have no information on the vast bulk of the victims. In 1988, Pope John Paul IIMore

Vietnamese Martyrs - November 24
The Vietnamese Martyrs (Vietnamese: Các Thánh Tử đạo Việt Nam), also known as the Martyrs of Indochina, Martyrs of Tonkin, Annam, and Cochinchina, or Andrew Dung-Lac and Companions (Anrê Dũng-Lạc và Các bạn tử đạo), are saints on the General Roman Calendar who were canonized by Pope John Paul II. On June 19, 1988, thousands of Overseas Vietnamese worldwide gathered at the Vatican for the Celebration of the Canonization of 117 Vietnamese Martyrs, an event chaired by Monsignor Tran Van Hoai. Their memorial is on November 24 (although several of these saints have another memorial, as they were beatified and on the calendar prior to the canonization of the group).
The Vatican estimates the number of Vietnamese martyrs at between 130,000 and 300,000. John Paul II decided to canonize those whose names are known and unknown, giving them a single feast day.
The Vietnamese Martyrs fall into several groupings, those of the Dominican and Jesuit missionary era …More
