St Marc - Though not an Apostle, his close companionship with St. Peter and St. Paul, coupled with his deep understanding of Christ's mission, made him a powerful witness to the Gospel. St. Mark's Gospel, characterized by its urgency and action-packed narrative, reminds us of the immediate need to embrace the Good News. In a world clouded by sin and confusion, his message resonates with hope and salvation.

1. God's great commandment could create in us a sense of confusion and fear. “You are to be perfect,” He orders us, “even as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Mt. 5:48) Is it possible for weak creatures like us to achieve the perfection of God Himself? At first sight this commandment seems quite impossible, but it is possible for us to act upon it with the grace of God. We must understand it properly, in any case. We shall never reach divine perfection, but we are obliged by Our Lord's command to strive towards it constantly by every means in our power. Perfection should be our most ardent desire, and not merely a theoretical ideal, but a practical aim. This practical intention can inspire our entire life in such a way that it will become a continual ascent towards sanctity and towards God. We need never lose heart even when we suffer a set-back in our spiritual progress. God allows us to fall so that we may be humbled and may place our trust in His grace instead of in ourselves. 2. …More

Als der heilige Franziskus ein neues Leben in Gott zu führen anfing, schlossen sich ihm bald auch Jünger an. Der dritte der Jünger war der selige Ägidius, ein Mann, der sich in den weltlichen Dingen zwar wenig, aber im christlichen Tugendleben um so besser auskannte. Es ist nun einmal so, dass jeder Mensch ein Steckenpferd hat, und der selige Ägidius macht in dieser Hinsicht keine Ausnahme. Sein Steckenpferd war die Arbeit, er konnte bei aller Frömmigkeit, die er übte, keine Stunde müßig sein. Es war eine Eigenart von ihm, und der Grund, warum er so handelte, ist darin zu suchen, dass er sich das Brot, das er aß, vorher durch Arbeit verdienen wollte. Der Selige war also ein anständiger, rechtlich denkender Mann. Als sich nun Ägidius einst längere Zeit zu Rom aufhielt, ging er nach dem Besuch der heiligen Messe am Morgen in die nähere Umgebung der Stadt, sammelte dürres Holz und verkaufte es für wenige Pfennige, um auf diese Weise den Lebensunterhalt zu verdienen. Zur Erntezeit las er …More

Hundreds of people demonstrated on 23 March at a 'March for Life' in Innsbruck, Austria. The pro-homosexual propagandist and local Novus Ordo bishop, Hermann Glettler, internationally known as a promoter of blasphemious art, stabbed the pro-lifers in the back. On the day of the demonstration, he told Kathpress.at that "lasting persuasion is more likely to succeed through conversations and personal encounters than through demonstrations in the streets". The "hardened fronts" around the issue of abortion would require a "common disarming of words and gestures, respectful listening and approaching each other" - which the Novus Ordo bishops have been doing for decades, with the result that they themselves support laws that allow abortion. During the event, parish priest Ignaz Steinwender, a cleric from the region, found words that correspond to the Gospel. He said that "Church representatives who do not courageously throw themselves into the fight" against abortion are "no longer servants …More

1. Most people are always longing for something. Those who are poor yearn to be rich. Those who are in bad health and are not resigned are longing to be cured. Those who have plenty of money and good health, but misuse these gifts to satisfy their lower urges in the hope of finding happiness, find instead only emptiness and remorse. Those who covet honours and fame are restless when they see their colleagues succeeding while they themselves remain on the bottom rung of the ladder. On the other hand, those who reach the summit of their profession and believe that they have fulfilled their purpose in life, soon discover that the easy chair in which they hoped to settle down is padded with thorns. The glory which they have won is an empty thing, the object of the envy or of the contempt of others. So we are all yearning and sighing and cannot find peace. Our hearts cannot be at rest in this world. “Here we have no permanent city,” says St. Paul, “but we seek for the city that is to come.”…More

One day, as Agnes implored God in prayer to show her clearly what he seemed to be asking of her, St. Francis, St. Augustine, and St. Dominic appeared to her in a vision. Each Saint stood at the helm of his own ship, and invited her to join him on board. The poverty she had espoused as a Sister “del Sacco” endeared her to St. Francis; it was St. Augustine’s Rule she continued to follow as Abbess at Procena; but St Dominic spoke with authority: “Agnes will sail in my ship; that is the Will of God.” With that, he took her hand and drew her aboard.

Her story also has a Dominican post-script: only a few decades later, when St. Catherine of Siena visited St. Agnes’ tomb to venerate her incorrupt relics, the holy deceased nun actually raised her foot (lying there in the coffin) as the holy still-living tertiary bent to kiss it in reverence, so as to spare her the trouble of bending further down.

An image from the funeral of Jessica Hanna, a saintly Catholic mother of four small kids, who passed away a few days ago after her long battle with cancer, which she faced with love and hope in the Lord, inspiring thousands on her journey to eternity. She was diagnosed with breast cancer while pregnant with her fourth child in 2020. Despite some doctors suggesting termination of the pregnancy, she adamantly refused, determined to bring her child into the world. Following her son’s birth who was named Thomas Solanus after Blessed Solanus Casey, her scanning report indicated she was free from cancer, but unfortunately, it returned after a few months, as stated on her GoFundMe page. During one of her chemo, she wrote on Instagram, “Offering to God: Shaving my head for chemo- The Lord gives, the Lord takes away, Blessed be the name of the Lord!” In another post she says that people with terminal illness are often asked what their dream last meal would be, adding that. “For me, it was a no-…More
