St. Martin of Tours, saint of November 11

"St. Martin’s mission was to complete the destruction of paganism, which had been driven from the towns by the martyrs but remained up to his time master of vast territories removed from the influence of the cities. All of Gaul heard from him.
"Against the fury of the pagan population Martin’s only arms were the miracles he wrought, the visible assistance of the Angels sometimes granted to him, and, above all the prayers and tears he poured out before God, when the hard-heartedness of the people resisted the means by which Martin changed the face of the country.
"Where he found scarcely a Christian on his arrival, he left scarcely an infidel at his departure. The temples of the idols were immediately replaced by temples of the true God. For, says Sulpicius Severus, as soon as he had destroyed the houses of superstition, he built churches and monasteries. It is thus that all Europe is covered with sanctuaries bearing the name of St. Martin."
Dom Guéranger presented a first rate history …

Why the unpayable debt of sin requires us to be merciful to others

Image: Fr Lawrence Lew OP. As partners with The WM Review, who are Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases through our Amazon links. Check out how far we have got with Fr Coleridge’s Life of our Life series.
Christ’s parable of the Unmerciful Servant shows that no offence against us is anything compared to our own debt to God.
Editor’s Notes
In this part, Fr Coleridge tells us…
How unmercifulness turns prayer itself into self-condemnation, for he who will not forgive actually asks God not to forgive him.
That hardness of heart extinguishes grace and love, showing a soul already verging on reprobation.
Why every occasion of forgiveness is a treasure, by which we draw freely from the inexhaustible mercy of God.
Coleridge shows us that mercy towards others is the currency of divine favour — the means by which God’s own pardon and bounty are measured back to us.
For more on the context of this passage, see Part I.

To rub the deception in the noses of the useless goy, they even had one of their snake oil salesmen do a fake faint for the cameras to show them just how dangerous the drug is. Troofers swallowed it hook line and sinker as if it was a real event. It was a similar stroke to the one they pulled when the Convid jab was launched and they staged the fake collapse of nurse/crisis actor Tiffany Dover, presenting a laughable psyop for gullible anti-vaxxers. They really are laughing in their faces - that’s why they can’t contain the duping delight when performing their spellcraft. You’ll see plenty of it in this ‘33’ second clip.

Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces, Feastday of November 8

This devotion honors Our Lady as a cooperating agent in the plan of God from the Incarnation of Jesus Christ to the Redemption. Mary was the intermediary between Jesus and St. John the Baptist, sanctifying him before his birth. She was the one who asked Christ to make His first miracle at the wedding of Canaan before his public life had begun.
In 1921 Pope Benedict XV instituted November 8 as the feast day of Our Lady Mediatrix of All Graces.
A text by St. Louis Grignion de Montfort expresses this truth admirably:
"Only Mary found grace before God (Luke 1:30) without the help of any other creature. And after her, all those who found grace before God found it only through her. Mary was full of grace when the Archangel Gabriel saluted her (Luke 1:28) and was filled with grace when the Holy Ghost so mysteriously overshadowed her (Luke 1:35).
"From day to day, from moment to moment, she increased so much this twofold plenitude that she attained an immense and inconceivable degree of grace.…

All Souls Day - November 2

Special Feast Days
All Souls Day – November 2
All Souls Day has great significance for us. It is the day when we pray for all the faithful and all the souls who have died and possibly are in Purgatory. It is also the day when the Church – with the tact proper to her – reminds us of the reality of death. On the one side, the Church points to a cliff under our feet and makes us see a multitude of souls who are in a state of punishment and suffering. On the other, she shows us the misery of death, its destruction of the body and the misery of the soul that does not go straight to Heaven. It would be beautiful to see in the All Souls Day's liturgy some phrases of Job, the lamentations of a man on the edge of madness who falls into the jaws of death, entirely isolated, with his bones calcinated, his flesh reduced to dust and the bitter weeping that inundates the soul separated from the body. It would be good to see reminded in the liturgy the misery of that sinner installed in a place of …

SS. Simon and Jude Thaddeus, Apostles, Saints of October 28

A tradition attests that the two Apostles went to evangelize Armenia and Persia, and that they suffered martyrdom in the city of Suanir in the year 47.
The mother of St. Jude Thaddeus was Mary of Cleophas, a sister-in-law of the Blessed Virgin, who with the Virgin Mary stood by the Cross of Jesus on Calvary. His father was
In 1605, the relics of the two Apostles were transported to the Vatican Basilica and placed in a crypt under the Altar of the Crucifixion. Tradition tells us this was the site where the cross of St. Peter once stood. St. Semin’s Basilica in Toulouse, France, also has some of their relics.
St. Jude was the cousin of Our Lord. He was not the only cousin: St. James the Lesser was also His cousin. It seems that St. James the Greater and St. John were also closely related to Jesus Christ. This shows the extraordinary predestination of the race of David. If just one Apostle belonged to this race, that would have been enough to immortalize it. However, to demonstrate His …

Lundi 27 octobre - De la férie - Saint Frumence de Tyr, Évêque, Apôtre de l’Ethiopie - Bienheureux Bonaventure de Potenza, Frère Mineur

Saint Frumence est né à Tyr vers l’an 315. On ne connait pas ses parents, ni l’histoire de son enfance, mais les historiens estiment que vers l’année 330, sous le règne de l’empereur romain Constantin, un certain Meropius ou Mérope, philosophe, médecin de profession et fervent Chrétien, partit de Tyr pour faire un voyage d’exploration et d’évangélisation sur les côtes du sud de la mer Rouge vers l’Inde. Il amène avec lui ses deux élèves préférés, Edèse et Frumence. Son voyage achevé, il s’embarqua pour revenir dans sa patrie. Le navire qui le portait avec ses neveux s’arrêta dans un certain port pour y faire les provisions nécessaires à l’équipage.
Les barbares du pays pillèrent le navire, et passèrent au fil de l’épée tous ceux qui le montaient. Frumence était alors assis sur le rivage, sous un arbre, avec son frère, et préparait sa leçon. Les barbares eurent pitié de leur innocence, de leur candeur et de leur beauté et les conduisirent à leur roi. Le prince …

Why Pilate kept asking Christ if he was a King

In the face of Pilate’s questions, Christ declares Himself born to reign through truth – and calls every soul to hear His voice.
Editor’s Notes
In this chapter, Fr Coleridge tells us…
How Christ reveals His Kingship as a reign founded upon truth, not earthly power.
Why Christ’s claim to kingship becomes both a judgment and an invitation to every soul.
That Pilate is offered a personal summons to recognise the King standing before him – and fails.
He shows us that Christ is not merely a King, but the King of those who are of the truth.

Christ the King – Encyclical and Feast
The last Sunday of October marks the feast of Christ the King, deliberately placed there by Pope Pius XI in order to precede the feast of All Saints.
The feast was established in 1925, in his encyclical Quas Primas. The first celebration of the feast took place in October 1926.
Both the feast and the encyclical were explicitly focused on the social Kingship of Christ – as opposed to the spiritual Kingship which we certainly exercises over the hearts of men …

No Human is Illegal

No Human is Illegal
The Supreme Court says: “it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain present in the United States.” “Illegal” isn’t a person; it’s specific, cited acts/status:
1. Crossing a U.S. border illegally — crime, 8 U.S.C. § 1325(a).
2. Failure to honor a visa — not a crime; it’s a ground of deportability under INA § 237(a)(1)(B)–(C), 8 U.S.C. § 1227.
3. Forging/using fake immigration documents — crime, 18 U.S.C. § 1546.
4. Not carrying required alien-registration papers — misdemeanor, 8 U.S.C. § 1304(e).
That’s it. it’s quite different than what the regime is saying or what MAGA is claiming. The population is under mind control. The villagers don’t even know the law and simply want to exercise their ability to flex and have people’s lives destroyed in an endless game of political revenge.
