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.
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
Votive Mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary - Purification to Advent cybrotius In the liturgy of the Catholic Church, a votive Mass (Latin missa votiva) is a Mass offered for a votum, a special intention. Such a Mass does not correspond to the Divine Office for the day on which it is celebrated. Every day in the year has appointed to it a series of canonical hours and (except Good Friday) a Mass corresponding, containing, for instance, the same collect and the same Gospel. On most days, the Mass will correspond to the Office, but on occasion, other Masses may be celebrated. Votive Masses appear in the Roman and Gallican Rites. The Suffrage Mass is a type of votive Mass that is celebrated in favour to some dead people.

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.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 6,22-29. [After Jesus had fed the five thousand men, his disciples saw him walking on the sea.] The next day, the crowd that remained across the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not gone along with his disciples in the boat, but only his disciples had left. Other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten the bread when the Lord gave thanks. When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus. And when they found him across the sea they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?" Jesus answered them and said, "Amen, amen, I say to you, you are looking for me not because you saw signs but because you ate the loaves and were filled. Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him the Father, God, has set his seal." So …More
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Johannes - Joh 6,22-29. In jener Zeit stand die Menge am anderen Ufer des Sees von Galiläa; sie hatten gesehen, dass nur ein Boot dort gewesen war und dass Jesus nicht mit seinen Jüngern ins Boot gestiegen war, sondern dass seine Jünger allein abgefahren waren. Von Tiberias her kamen andere Boote in die Nähe des Ortes, wo sie nach dem Dankgebet des Herrn das Brot gegessen hatten. Als die Leute sahen, dass weder Jesus noch seine Jünger dort waren, stiegen sie in die Boote, fuhren nach Kafarnaum und suchten Jesus. Als sie ihn am anderen Ufer des Sees fanden, fragten sie ihn: Rabbi, wann bist du hierhergekommen? Jesus antwortete ihnen: Amen, amen, ich sage euch: Ihr sucht mich nicht, weil ihr Zeichen gesehen habt, sondern weil ihr von den Broten gegessen habt und satt geworden seid. Müht euch nicht ab für die Speise, die verdirbt, sondern für die Speise, die für das ewige Leben bleibt und die der Menschensohn euch geben wird! Denn ihn hat Gott, der Vater …More
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
