youtube.com/watch?v=USzp7zLAVGE Luisa Piccarreta "The Little Daughter of the Divine Will" ". The satisfaction that blessed Jesus receives from the meditation of these Hours is so great, that He would want at least one copy of these meditations to be present and practiced in each city or town. In fact, it would happen, then, as if Jesus heard His own voice and His prayers being reproduced in those reparations, just as the ones He raised to His Father during the 24 hours of His sorrowful Passion. And if this were done in each town or city at least, by as many souls, Jesus seems to make me understand that Divine Justice would be placated in part, and in these sad times of torments and bloodshed, Its scourges would be stopped, in part, and as though dampened. I let you, reverend Father, make appeal to all; may you complete, in this way, the little work that my lovable Jesus had me do..." (from a letter of Luisa to her extraordinary Confessor, St. Annibale M. di Francia

Different Life experiences form different opinions. Cardinal Sarah grew up and resides in a Country in Africa that is 85% Muslim. Pope Leo grew up in the USA that is a little over 1% Muslim and spent over 2 decades in Peru which is less than 1% Muslim. These two men have opposite opinions, which are NOT infallible. So, to me, it is quite obvious who knows more about living in a Country led by Islamic radicals.
This post furthers the Marxist dilectic by exposing its anti-Catholic bias towards MAGA/Zionism. I read in it, "But when a left wing ideologue wants to bash a conservative American President, facts can be most inconvenient."

Acts of the Apostles 6,8-15. Stephen, filled with grace and power, was working great wonders and signs among the people. Certain members of the so-called Synagogue of Freedmen, Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and people from Cilicia and Asia, came forward and debated with Stephen, but they could not withstand the wisdom and the spirit with which he spoke. Then they instigated some men to say, "We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God." They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, accosted him, seized him, and brought him before the Sanhedrin. They presented false witnesses who testified, "This man never stops saying things against (this) holy place and the law. For we have heard him claim that this Jesus the Nazorean will destroy this place and change the customs that Moses handed down to us." All those who sat in the Sanhedrin looked intently at him and saw that his face was like the face of an angel. Psalms 119(118),23-24.26-27.29-30. Though princes …More
Apostelgeschichte 6,8-15. In jenen Tagen tat Stephanus aber, voll Gnade und Kraft, Wunder und große Zeichen unter dem Volk. Doch einige von der sogenannten Synagoge der Libertiner und Kyrenäer und Alexandriner und Leute aus Kilikien und der Provinz Asien erhoben sich, um mit Stephanus zu streiten; aber sie konnten der Weisheit und dem Geist, mit dem er sprach, nicht widerstehen. Da stifteten sie Männer zu der Aussage an: Wir haben gehört, wie er gegen Mose und Gott lästerte. Sie hetzten das Volk, die Ältesten und die Schriftgelehrten auf, drangen auf ihn ein, packten ihn und schleppten ihn vor den Hohen Rat. Und sie brachten falsche Zeugen bei, die sagten: Dieser Mensch hört nicht auf, gegen diesen heiligen Ort und das Gesetz zu reden. Wir haben ihn nämlich sagen hören: Dieser Jesus, der Nazoräer, wird diesen Ort zerstören und die Bräuche ändern, die uns Mose überliefert hat. Und als alle, die im Hohen Rat saßen, gespannt auf ihn blickten, erschien ihnen sein Gesicht wie das Gesicht …More
We live in a time where the "Prince Charming" bailed on foot because his horse died miles ago, and the "Princess" is still locked in her tower, terrified to turn the key because she just got her nails done... Whatever happened to values? To real love, loyalty, and basic respect for another human being? Where did it all go? Face-to-face conversations have been replaced by ghosting and silence. Working on a relationship has been traded for "upgrading" to a newer, shinier model. Friendships now have an expiration date—usually right when the benefits run out. People who were supposed to be your rock end up becoming your worst enemies. Where the hell did the integrity go?! Am I overreacting? I don’t think so. Not for a second. The "Prince" who was supposed to be charming turns out to be just another player who used you and moved on. The "Princess" who was once wrapped around your neck, telling you that you were her entire world, turns on a dime the moment she finds someone with a bigger bank …More

Sunday, April 19 – Second Sunday after Easter, known as Good Shepherd Sunday – Saint Elphegius, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr – Blessed Conrad of Ascoli, First Franciscan Order
Deuxième dimanche après Pâques dit « Du bon Pasteur » – « Je suis le Bon-Pasteur : je connais mes brebis et mes brebis me connaissent. » Ce Dimanche est désigné sous l’appellation populaire de Dimanche du bon Pasteur, parce qu’on y lit à la Messe le passage de l’Évangile de saint Jean où notre Seigneur se donne à lui-même ce titre. Un lien mystérieux unit ce texte évangélique au temps où nous sommes ; car c’est en ces jours que le Sauveur des hommes, établissant et consolidant son Église, commença par lui donner le Pasteur qui devait la gouverner jusqu’à la consommation des siècles. A LA MESSE. L’Introït respire le triomphe. Empruntant les accents de David, il célèbre la miséricorde du Seigneur qui s’est étendue à la terre entière, par la fondation de l’Église. Les cieux, qui signifient les Apôtres dans le langage mystérieux de l’Écriture, ont été affermis par le Verbe de Dieu, le jour où il leur a donné Pierre pour Pasteur et pour fondement. Dans la Collecte, la …

Pope Leo encounters his legendary Spiritual Father in Yaoundé | Shalom World News At the Catholic University of Central Africa in Yaoundé, Cameroon, a quiet yet deeply symbolic moment unfolds in Pope Leo's journey. Before him stands a newly unveiled statue of Saint Augustine of Hippo—his legendary ‘spiritual father’, the guiding light of his Augustinian vocation. Enveloped in a shell resembling Africa, the statue holds a book bearing the words “Tolle Lege”— “take up and read”—the very call that pierced Augustine’s heart and triggered his conversion. For Pope Leo, this is no distant history; it is a living echo. The same words that transformed Augustine continue to resonate in his own life, shaping his mission, his prayer, and his path as a shepherd of the Church. With reverence, the Holy Father blesses the statue, pausing as if in silent dialogue with the saint who has walked with him across the years. In that gesture lies more than ceremony—it is a moment of recognition, of …More
Yaoundé : le pape Léon XIV bénit la statue de … En visite à l’Université catholique d’Afrique centrale ce 17 avril 2026, le pape Léon XIV a marqué un arrêt devant une nouvelle statue de saint Augustin. Représenté sous la forme du continent africain, le saint tient un livre portant l’inscription latine « Tolle lege », en référence à l’épisode fondateur de sa conversion. Le souverain pontife a béni l’œuvre, dans un moment soigneusement capté par les photographes présents. La scène, retransmise en direct, montre le pape attentif à la portée symbolique de la statue, dont la représentation associe l’héritage de saint Augustin à l’histoire spirituelle du continent africain. L’inscription « Tolle lege » renvoie aux paroles que le théologien aurait entendues au moment décisif de son cheminement religieux, un passage souvent cité comme point de bascule dans sa vie.

Covid vaccine injuries and deaths Covid vaccine batch variation and adverse events You’ve probably heard this more times than you can count: “I got the COVID vaccine and nothing bad ever happened to me.” There’s a reason for that… not everyone got the same thing. And a peer-reviewed study backs it up. In 2023, Max Schmeling and colleagues discovered that just 4.2 percent of the COVID vaccine batches accounted for 71 PERCENT of suspected adverse events. Additionally, about two-thirds of the batches had a low to moderate risk of adverse events. And about one-third had little to no risk of adverse events. “Nothing happened.” The chart below shows how extreme this variation actually was. “The shot [batch] was deterministic for who was going to have a serious event or not.” That’s the conclusion from renowned cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough. If “hot lots” showed up in the COVID shots, that raises a bigger question about other vaccines. What if this wasn’t a one-time issue? Let’s take …More
3rd Sunday of Easter - Acts 2:14, 22–33 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice, and proclaimed: "You who are Jews, indeed all of you staying in Jerusalem. Let this be known to you, and listen to my words. You who are Israelites, hear these words. Jesus the Nazorean was a man commended to you by God with mighty deeds, wonders, and signs, which God worked through him in your midst, as you yourselves know. This man, delivered up by the set plan and foreknowledge of God, you killed, using lawless men to crucify him. But God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death, because it was impossible for him to be held by it. For David says of him: 'I saw the Lord ever before me, with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed. Therefore my heart has been glad and my tongue has exulted; my flesh, too, will dwell in hope, because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld, nor will you suffer your holy one to see corruption. You have made known to me the paths of …More
