First remember, it was trump who called Putin 3 weeks ago for help out of the mess he made. Yet didn't listen to him. Now they are turning to Putin to help end this madness that trump and bibi made. Unfortunately, not even Putin can stop this. That is not what GOD wants. That is not His Will for peace. Not our time. ------------- As the U.S.-Israel military campaign against Iran intensifies into a full regional crisis, Gulf and Arab capitals have abandoned Washington as their diplomatic anchor and are converging on Moscow — with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, and leaders from the UAE, Oman, and Turkey all reaching directly to Vladimir Putin in an unprecedented geopolitical realignment. Putin, positioning Russia as the region's sole credible stabilizer, has formally opened what the Kremlin is calling a coordinated mediation track — with spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirming Russia stands ready to make its "strongest contribution" to …More
Our Lady narrates. “Now listen to Me, dear child: you must know that after the death of my Son I withdrew in the cenacle, together with beloved John and Magdalene. But my Heart was pierced because only John was near Me, and in my sorrow I said: "And the other Apostles - where are they?" But as they heard that Jesus had died, touched by special graces, all moved and weeping, one by one, the fugitives drew around Me, surrounding Me like a crown; and with tears and sighs, they asked for my forgiveness for they had so cravenly abandoned their Master, and had run away from Him. I welcomed them maternally in the ark of refuge and salvation of my Heart; I assured all of them of the forgiveness of my Son, and I encouraged them not to fear. I said to them that their destiny was in my hands, because He had given them all to Me as my children, and I recognized them as such. Blessed child, you know that I was present at the Resurrection of my Son. But I did not say a word to anyone, waiting for …More
Franciscan Father Francesco Patton wrote the meditations for tonight's Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum in Rome with Pope Leo XIV. Fr Patton served as Custos of the Holy Land from 2016 to 2025. On April 1, he told VaticanNews.va that the inspiration comes from "current reality" and that the meditations are meant to inspire political "change". The Vatican press office published the text today. Traditionally a penitential and contemplative devotion, the Via Crucis is repurposed here as a vehicle for contemporary socio-political reflection. The text shifts from the Passion of Christ to war, refugees, human trafficking, surveillance, deportation, the media, the economy, prisons, hostages, and crackdowns on protests. Notably absent, however, are abortion, euthanasia, and gender ideology. One acclamation reads: "For migrants, the displaced, and refugees: Comfort us, O Mother." In the first station, the meditation talks about political and economic power "to start or end a war… the power …More
By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? McGovern thinks that Putin is trying to talk sense into trump. With Putin giving him the real cold Turkey saying, we can't let this go on so that Israel is destroyed and has no other option than to use nukes. It's always President Putin who tries to restore and make peace. This is why Russia is so Blessed. And why some hate the fact Putin was not involved in the epstein files as they had hoped. I lost count this year alone on how many times President Putin and Russia was rewarded for helping out others. No matter how much some try to make us hate Russia or Putin, the facts always speak louder than words. And they just can't handle that. By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Matthew 12:40 40 For as Jonas was in the whale's belly three days and three nights: so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights Wednesday Crucifixion View: Advocates argue for a Wednesday death to allow 72 hours (three full days and nights) before a Saturday night or early Sunday morning resurrection. This interpretation relies on counting three separate nights (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) before Sunday dawn. Thursday Crucifixion View: This interpretation allows for the full three nights (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) to pass before a Sunday morning resurrection, aligning with the "three days and three nights" phrasing literally. Supporting Context (Two Sabbaths): Some proponents suggest there were two Sabbaths that week—the high day Sabbath (Passover) on Thursday, and the weekly Sabbath on Saturday—allowing for a Thursday burial, Friday spice prep, and Saturday rest Note: The traditional Friday crucifixion relies on Jewish, idioms where partial days …More
Byzantine Catholic Liturgical Holy Week traditions Good Friday: A strict fast day centered on the Vespers of Good Friday and the procession with the Holy Shroud (Plashchanytsia). Holy Saturday: Focuses on Christ’s descent into Hades, often featuring a morning service that anticipates the Resurrection, including the reading of the Bible's "song of Moses" and resurrectional hymns. Pascha (Easter): The celebration begins with the Resurrection Matins/Vespers and Divine Liturgy, often early Sunday morning or late Saturday night, followed by the blessing of Easter foods.
"Chapter 8 ~ How a religious man should commit himself to God in all circumstances whatsoever I am now completely convinced that you will recognize from these arguments that the more you strip yourself of the products of your imagination and all worldly and created things, and are united to God with your intellect by a good will, the closer you will approach the state of innocence and perfection. What could be better? And what could be more happy and joyful? Above all it is important for you to keep your mind bare - without imaginations and images and free of any sort of entanglement, so that you are not concerned about either the world, friends, prosperity or adversity, or anything present, past or future, whether in yourself or in others - not even your own sins."
[Saint Albert the Great – Albertus Magnus – XIII Century AD; Duchy of Bavaria/Cologne, Holy Roman Empire; (Aged ca 80); German Dominican friar, philosopher, scientist, and bishop; one of the greatest medieval philosophers and thinkers; Doctor of the Church] “Chapter 7 ~ How the heart should be gathered within itself What is more, as is said in the book On the Spirit and the Soul (of St. Augustine), to ascend to God means to enter into oneself. He who entering within and penetrating his inmost nature, goes beyond himself, he is truly ascending to God. So let us withdraw our hearts from the distractions of this world, and recall them to the inner joys, so that we can establish them to some degree in the light of divine contemplation. For this is the life and peace of our hearts - to be established by intent in the love of God and to be sweetly remade by his comforting. But the reason why we are in so many ways hindered in the practical enjoyment of this matter and are unable to get into …More
Watch till the end. ( 8:42 seconds or less)l. A Christian civilian. Killed by a foreign strike near his home. Buried by his Muslim neighbors. This is the Iran they don't show you. In a country the world calls divided by religion, Muslims carried their Christian brother to his final rest. Not because of politics. Not because of propaganda. Because that is who they are. We filmed his memorial service—the grief, the unity, the shared humanity. This video is not about war. It is about what survives war: faith, dignity, and the bonds that no bomb can break. Watch. Share. Remember his name: *"Avanes"* IRAN War: When Muslims Wept for a Christian
Zu Ostern möchte ich Euch dieses Video empfehlen – es enthält atemberaubende Informationen über Jesus Christus und Sein Grabtuch, eines der größten Wunder der Kirchengeschichte: Creation and Miracles - Condensed Version Creation and Miracles – Condensed Version The Shroud of Turin - Proof of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ Das Turiner Grabtuch beweist, dass Jesus Christus gelebt hat, gestorben und auferstanden ist: dass Er nicht nur ein wahrer Mensch, sondern auch wahrer Gott ist. Er ist eine der drei göttlichen Personen der Allerheiligsten Dreifaltigkeit. Das Grabtuch von Turin beweist auch, dass katholische Reliquien wundertätig sind, und dass der überlieferte katholische Glaube (ganz und unversehrt) die einzig wahre Religion ist und dass es für das ewige Heil absolut notwendig ist, ihn zu befolgen und zu bekennen.
Office of Tenebrae, Good Friday, Reading 6 From the Treatise of St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, Upon the Psalms On Psalm 63: They whetted their tongue like a sword. The Jews cannot say: We did not murder Christ, albeit they gave Him over to Pilate His judge, that they themselves might seem free of His death. For when Pilate said unto them, Take ye Him: and kill Him, they answered, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death. They could throw the blame of their sin upon a human judge: but did they deceive God, the Great Judge? In that which Pilate did, he was their accomplice, but in comparison with them, he had far the lesser sin. John xix. 11. Pilate strove as far as he could, to deliver Him out of their hands; for the which reason also he scourged Him, John xix. 1, and brought Him forth to them. He scourged not the Lord for cruelty’s sake, but in the hope that; he might so slake their wild thirst for blood: that, perchance, even they might be touched with compassion, and cease …More
"This paradoxical situation prompts us to ask ourselves whether, in a concrete way, the future bishops of the Society of Saint Pius X must – in order not to be excommunicated – exchange the Roman collar for the Mao collar, carry the card of the Chinese Communist Party and be consecrated in Beijing."
IRAN WAR: Bridges, Electric Power Plants Next /Lt Col Daniel Dav is & Robert Barnes How many times does he have to say it's all about the oil? Not only from him but from his administration. One former Military Officer even saying on live tv. We will go in and take anything we want. How sick and evil that is. Iran was no threat to anyone. including us. They say we are doing it to free the people of Iran. No one asked for his help. They don't need his help. Nor do they want it. Now they are all united and standing firm against two lying, evil beasts. And dragging us into their evil war with people who didn't want to harm anyone. People who live in peace with many other religions. Getting along and helping each other. Maybe that's what they hate about Iran. The same reason why they hate Russia!
Well the "ONLY" good thing coming out of this evil war against Iran is how I have watched trump get thrown off the pedestal he and his base put him on. Time and time again. Now the whole world knows we are far from the greatest and most powerful Military at all. Nor the wisest. So much for all he needs is 48 hours to do the job. In and out he said. And now over two months and getting worse every day. And no end in sight.
When ziokillers talk about the emergence of a type of messiah from their evil, they are talking about Bibi handing over the reigns to some kind of anti-christ. He is confusing his defeat with a victory. Our Lord told us that He will return during a time of grace, not evil. "...then the end will come".
O Mary, be my Mother! The mother who gave me birth taught me to know your Son and you, but you teach me how I can love Him and you with the hottest love! Though I constantly repeat: I love Jesus, I love Mary, this word will not warm the heart unless your grace comes to my aid. As you looked with pity on your Son falling under the Cross, so look also on me, falling under the Cross. As you looked with mercy on those who placed the Cross on your Son, so look also on me, for I belong to their number! But I no longer want to belong to them! With your help, I want to work on myself, and as many tears of sorrow as I have wrung from you, so many tears of repentance I want to bring you as an offering! You did not turn away from me when I avoided you. You will not reject me when I return to you! I do not ask: free me from the Cross, but I beg you, free me from sin! O Mary, calm the sorrows of my soul, or rather, through sorrow, let me come to love. We ask this through the merits of your Son, who …More
