March 7 - Saints Felicitas, Perpetua and Companions Martyrs († 203) (Perpetua's Song) Felicitas and Perpetua are two of the saints commemorated in the Canon of the Mass. Their feast, which actually falls on the seventh of March, is often celebrated on the sixth to avoid conflict with the feast of Saint Thomas Aquinas. The story of these martyrs and their companions is found in a kind of diary kept by Perpetua while she was in prison awaiting execution, and this was later augmented by an unknown eye-witness to the martyrdom.

The story of these martyrs and their companions is found in a kind of diary kept by Perpetua while she was in prison awaiting execution, and this was later augmented by an unknown eye-witness to the martyrdom. The martyrs in this story lived in the North African city of Carthage, at a time when it was part of the Roman Empire; they had come under an edict issued by the emperor Severus in the year 202, declaring death to be the penalty for being a Christian. There were six of them: Perpetua, a young noblewoman recently married, with her baby boy; Felicitas, a slave girl expecting a child; and four men – Revocatus, a slave, and Secundulus, Saturninus and Saturus.

Their names are inserted in the Canon of the Mass. COLLECT Grant, Lord, we beseech thee, this saving effect of our fast, that the chastisement of the flesh, which we have undertaken, may become the improvement of our souls. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. EPISTLE The Lesson is from the book of Genesis 27:6-40 In those days: Rebecca said to her son Jacob: I heard thy father talking with Esau thy brother, and saying to him, “Bring me of thy hunting, and make me meats that I may eat, and bless thee in the sight of the Lord, before I die.” Now, therefore, my son, follow my counsel; and go thy way to thy flock, bring me two kids of the best, that I may make of them meat for thy father, such as he gladly eateth; which when thou hast brought in, and he hath eaten, he may bless thee before …

‘Melania’ Movie Admits Defeat After Humiliating Box Office Bomb ... given its massive budget, it needed much more to make it a financial success. Other indicators proved that the film wasn’t the box-office hit that MAGA desperately wanted it to be. In the U.K., the doc made just £32,974 (approximately $44,604) in its opening weekend across 155 cinemas. South Africa, meanwhile, pulled the film from the country’s theaters before it was even released. After that opening weekend in the U.S., Melaniaplummeted quickly. In its third weekend, the doc saw a 62.3-percent drop in attendance. By its fourth week, the documentary had disappeared from the box office entirely, not appearing in IMDb’s top 38 films. The film is one of the most expensive of its kind, reportedly costing a whopping $75 million.

Saint Marcian of Tortona | First Bishop and Martyr | Feast Day March 6th | Saint Story for Kids Today we remember Saint Marcian of Tortona, also known as Saint Marziano, whose feast day is celebrated on March 6. Saint Marcian is traditionally honoured as the first bishop of Tortona, a city in northern Italy. According to early Christian tradition, he helped bring the Gospel to the region during the 1st and 2nd centuries, when Christianity was still spreading across the Roman Empire. As a missionary bishop, Marcian worked to plant the seeds of the Christian faith, guiding believers and strengthening the early Church in the area. His dedication to Christ eventually led to persecution, and he is venerated as a martyr who gave his life for the faith. The witness of Saint Marcian reminds us of the courage of the early Christians who spread the Gospel despite great dangers. Through their sacrifice and faithfulness, Christianity continued to grow and reach new lands. Saint Marcian of Tortona …More
Hl. Marcianus von Tortona - Gedenktag katholisch: 6. März Auffindung der Gebeine: 20. Oktober erster Bischof von Tortona (?), Märtyrer † 122 (?) in Tortona in Italien Marcianus stammte der Überlieferung zufolge aus einer heidnischen Familie, wurde von Barnabas zum Christenglauben bekehrt und dann von Bischof Syrus von Pavia im Glauben bestärkt. Er wurde demnach um 77 Bischof von Tortona - die mittelalterliche Kathedrale, von der Ruinen erhalten sind, stand nahe des Kastells der Stadt. Unter Kaiser Hadrian und Statthalter Sapritius starb Marcianus als Märtyrer. Walahfried Strabo nannte anlässlich des Baues der damaligen, Marcianus geweihten Kirche San Marziano, die am Ende der heute nach Marcianus benannten Straße lag, in seinem um 842 verfassten Carmen Marcianus als ersten Bischof von Tortona. Mit ihm erlitten der Überlieferung zufolge Terentianus und Stephanus das Martyrium. Die um dieselbe Zeit verfasste Leidensgeschichte von Faustinus und Jovita dagegen nennt Marcianus …More
Russian Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia delivered a pointed address to U.S. First Lady Melania Trump on Monday as she presided over a landmark UN Security Council briefing on children and education in conflict. In a session marked by high diplomatic tension, Nebenzia accused Western powers of using child protection as a tool for "political manipulation" while hushing up alleged Ukrainian military strikes on Russian educational infrastructure in Belgorod and Donbass. Addressing Mrs. Trump directly, Nebenzia rejected international allegations regarding the transfer of Ukrainian children as "disinformation," instead highlighting the role of the Vatican and Qatar in family reunifications. The exchange underscored the deep geopolitical divide as the United States began its presidency of the Security Council for March 2026.

Our Lady of the Star - March 7th, 2026 | 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.

Virgen del Rosario (Quetzaltenango) La imagen fue tallada en madera de cedro por un artista anónimo en la actualidad, se cuenta que llevaba camino hacia otra ciudad, pero que por las dificultades del camino, dejaron la caja donde se encontraba la imagen frente a la Parroquia de Quetzaltenango y finalmente al descubrir los habitantes, que se encontraba la imagen de la Virgen, le dispusieron un lugar en aquella Iglesia.
March 7 Nuestra Señora del Rosario, Quetzaltenango, Guatemala The legend relates that the Spanish were carrying the image of the Virgin of the Rosary to the capital of Guatemala, but took a rest stop in the city of Quetzaltenango while crossing the high plains. When the time came to leave, the image became too heavy for the oxen to pull its cart. Spanish and local people tried repeatedly to move it but could not. When they turned the cart around, the weight lessened; and everyone understood that the Virgin wanted to remain in Quetzaltenango. The image was consecrated on January 20, 1781 by Archbishop Cayetano Francos y Monroy in the cathedral there. Devotion intensified after April 18, 1902, when at 8:00 pm the San Perfecto earthquake struck. Constant temblors provoked a fire which consumed most of the church that housed the statue. When the flames finally reached the Virgin's altar, residents rescued it and placed it in the bandstand in the park. The townspeople who were there knelt …More
Bishop Athanasius Schneider, Kazakhstan, gave an interview to Robert Moynihan, on March 2. Key points slightly paraphrased. Inclusiveness of All Except the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X "The Vatican speaks about tolerance, about a synodal approach, about inclusiveness of all. But it is a contradiction when they are so harsh, so uncompromising with the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X." On the Proposal that FSSPX Must Wait Before Consecrating Bishops "To say to the FSSPX, 'First we will discuss everything, and only afterward consider the consecration of bishops,' is simply not realistic. From a pastoral perspective, it does not take into account the concrete situation of the faithful and priests who depend on them." Vatican Would Punish Bishops Who Ordain Priests for FSSPX "The Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X is not yet regularized by Rome. Therefore they cannot simply ask a bishop — myself or another — to ordain their priests. If I were to ordain for the Priestly Fraternity of …More
Catholics are not Jews nor are we Protestants we are Catholic because we reject the Jewish and Protestant Doctrine, Worship and believe the Catholic Church the only Church founded by Jesus Christ the ONLY mediator to the Father. When the very thick and tall Temple veil was torn from top to bottom, that was the end of Gods covenant with the Jewish Religion. Everything they do now is in vein. The Novus Ordo Problem "This great rupture and revolution came after the Council with the so-called Mass of Paul VI, which was a horizontal Protestant style, anthropocentric style, very ambiguous doctrinally. [...] It is shaped as a kind of meeting of people… and the offertory prayers were invented or exported from the Jewish supper meals, destroying really the meaning of the sacrifice."

The John-Henry Westen Show March 3, 2026 SAINTS vs ANTI-POPES: Medieval history prof REVEALS the battles Nearly 30 anti-popes have risen across two millennia of Church history. In times of deepest confusion, even saints found themselves on opposing sides. St. Catherine of Siena confronted cardinals backing a false pope. St. Vincent Ferrer supported the wrong claimant during the Western Schism. St. Bernard of Clairvaux rallied kings against a rival. None remained silent. Dr. Ed Mazza joins to walk through these battles from his book Saints Versus Anti-Popes, drawing the line from medieval crises to the present. The question now is not whether a pope can be a bad man; history is full of them. The question is whether a pope can formally teach heresy while exercising his authority. No saint or major theologian ever taught that. The discussion moves through Marian apparitions at Akita, the warnings of Malachi Martin, and the possibility of apostasy “at the top.” But the conclusion is not …More
MARCH 7 2026 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 15,1-3.11-32. Tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to listen to Jesus, but the Pharisees and scribes began to complain, saying, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them." So to them he addressed this parable. Then he said, "A man had two sons, and the younger son said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of your estate that should come to me.' So the father divided the property between them. After a few days, the younger son collected all his belongings and set off to a distant country where he squandered his inheritance on a life of dissipation. When he had freely spent everything, a severe famine struck that country, and he found himself in dire need. So he hired himself out to one of the local citizens who sent him to his farm to tend the swine. And he longed to eat his fill of the pods on which the swine fed, but nobody gave him any. Coming to his senses he thought, 'How many of …More
During his time in Peru, Pope Leo XIV promoted women into leadership roles, reports VidaNuevaDigital.com on March 6, citing the book León XIV, portrait d'un pape péruvien (“Leo XIV: Portrait of a Peruvian Pope”) by authors César Piscoya and Véronique Lecaros. In Chulucanas (1985–1987), the young Father Prevost thought that women sustained parish life and began giving them an active place in pastoral work like “evangelizers”. In a second stage, from 1990 to 1999, this co-responsibility became a formation project in Trujillo. There he encouraged his fellow Augustinians to work alongside women with "equal responsibilities" in the two parishes Santa María and Nuestra Señora de Monserrate. Piscoya writes about a certain Alicia Azabache who was appointed coordinator of pastoral work and told Father Prevost that she knew nothing. He replied: “Neither do we… We will learn with you.” He deepened this path later as Bishop of Chiclayo (2016–2022), where he placed several women in charge of …More
