Question posée à Copilot:
Quelle est la personnalité historique qui est décédée dans la nuit du 4 au 15 octobre 1582 ?
La personnalité historique qui est décédée dans la nuit du 4 au 15 octobre 1582 est Sainte Thérèse d'Ávila, également connue sous le nom de Madre Teresa de Jesús. Ce moment est particulièrement fascinant car il coïncide avec une anomalie du temps : la réforme du calendrier par le pape Grégoire XIII. Pour corriger le décalage accumulé par le calendrier julien, on a sauté dix jours — le 4 octobre fut immédiatement suivi du 15 octobre 1582. Ainsi, Thérèse d'Ávila est morte dans une nuit qui, techniquement, n’a jamais existé dans les registres officiels.
Elle s’est éteinte vers 21h à Alba de Tormes, en Espagne, à l’âge de 67 ans. Mystique, réformatrice du Carmel, et l’une des grandes figures spirituelles de l’Église catholique, sa mort dans cette “nuit fantôme” ajoute une couche presque mythique à son héritage.

Le temps de Sainte Thérèse d'Avila ,c'est celui d'une incarnation de la Foi ,presque palpable sans recourir à une évocation dont le départ serait une sorte de broderie rêveuse figée alors que la Sainte révèle la puissance de l'amour Divin à chaque mot écrit sous sa plume comme une greffe.Sainte Thérèse de Jésus , priez pour nous.
Les armoiries du pape Léon XIV. D'abord il y a les armoiries des cardinaux qui sont préexistantes. Le centre de l'image est donc récupéré pour être appliqué dans la forme de celle du pape. Donc, les armoiries ne sont pas du tout improvisée lors de l'élection. Il serait quand même intéressant de faire le tour des armoiries de tous les cardinaux, simplement pour en voir le contenu. Ici, il y a la fleur de lys blanche sur fond bleu, tout comme sur le drapeau du Québec. L'origine de cette fleur de lys ici me permet d'y voir un lien avec le premier diocèse d'Amérique du nord qui avait son siège à Québec. Ces armoiries me rappelle le drapeau Carillon dont les 4 lys pointent vers le centre. Sur le drapeau actuel du Québec, les 4 lys sont redressés, tout comme ici. C'est le premier ministre de l'époque, soit le 21 janvier 1948 que le nouveau drapeau de la province de Québec flottait à la tour du parlement de Québec pour la première fois, et s'inspirait alors clairement du drapeau …Plus
Est-ce que le lys blanc a un lien avec Saint Augustin ? Avec Saint Joseph, mais à travers une autre illustration du lys. La robe de la Vierge Marie enfant dans les bras de Sainte Anne y fait référence aussi, comme on peut le voir à la Basilique Ste-Anne de Beaupré. Ou bien ça désigne une appartenance franco américaine à travers le premier diocèse de Nouvelle France qui englobait une très vaste région, dont la région de Chicago ?

Ce qui me frappe ici, c'est la fleur de lys blanche sur fond bleu, comme pour le drapeau du Québec. C'est surement une référence au premier diocèse d'Amérique du nord qui avait son siège à Québec ! Parle t-il français ?

Pour Mère Yvonne-Aimée son procès a été bloqué car trop mystique et ne peut-être un exemple c'est ce que le Vatican a fait comprendre du temps du cardinal Ottaviani ? De même avec sainte Faustine, mais Jean-Paul connaissait déjà sa vie et a donc voulu sa canonisation(corrigez-moi si je me trompe au sujet d'Ottaviani); l'abbé Laurentin a étudié de fond en comble sa vie. Je voudrais que le Vatican canonise Mère Yvonne-Aimée. Elle m'aide sur mon chemin

Quels ont été les plus longs conclaves de l'histoire de l'Église catholique ? (Réponse de Copilot)
Le conclave le plus long de l’histoire de l’Église catholique s’est déroulé entre décembre 1268 et septembre 1271, soit 1006 jours. Les cardinaux réunis à Viterbe, en Italie, ont mis près de trois ans à élire Grégoire X, en raison de profondes divisions entre les factions italiennes et françaises. Exaspérés par cette lenteur, les habitants de Viterbe ont enfermé les cardinaux et rationné leur nourriture à du pain et de l’eau, avant d’aller jusqu’à retirer le toit du bâtiment où ils étaient réunis.
D’autres conclaves ont également été très longs :
1314-1316 : Plus de deux ans pour élire Jean XXII, en raison d’un conflit entre cardinaux français et italiens.
1292-1294 : Après plus de deux ans d’impasse, les cardinaux ont élu Célestin V, un moine ermite.
1830-1831 : Le conclave a duré 50 jours, le plus long depuis 1800.
Depuis le XXe siècle, les conclaves durent généralement …Plus

Photo prise le 6 mai 2025 au parc municipal de l'embouchure de la rivière Etchemin, sur la rive-sud du fleuve St-Laurent, à Lévis, Québec, Canada.
François, malgré un repos stricte de 2 mois recommandé par ses médecins, a visiblement dérogé aux consignes, même en se présentant le jour de Pâques sans oxygène dans le nez. Il devait certainement savoir ce qui lui adviendrait s'il retirait son oxygène. Il savait donc certainement qu'il allait en mourir très peu de temps après. Il a vu la fête de Pâques. Il pouvait donc considérer quitter après. Une certaine agonie l'aurait fort probablement emporté un jour qu'il aimait particulièrement, soit le jour de la Terre, ce Mardi 22 Avril 2025. Un tel départ en ce jour si particulier aurait indirectement servi à donner de la visibilité à cette journée, et à la religion écologiste... Mais la Volonté de Dieu y a vu autrement !!! Il quittait le lendemain de Pâques, mais juste un peu trop vite... Les grands médias n'ont donc pas pu exalter le jour de la Terre qui aurait coïncidé avec le jour de son décès... C'est raté pour Gaïa !
Le pape François avait-il une relation particulière avec le jour de la Terre ?
(Réponse de Copilot)
Oui, le pape François avait une relation particulière avec le Jour de la Terre. Il a souvent souligné l'importance de la protection de l'environnement et de la responsabilité humaine envers la planète. Son encyclique Laudato si' (2015) est un appel puissant à la préservation de la "maison commune" et à la lutte contre le changement climatique.
Lors de la Journée de la Terre 2024, il a rappelé que les générations précédentes avaient légué des richesses matérielles, mais qu'elles n'avaient pas suffisamment protégé la planète ni préservé la paix. Il a encouragé chacun à devenir des artisans et gardiens de la Terre, insistant sur la nécessité d'agir pour restaurer les écosystèmes et réduire la pollution plastique.
Son engagement pour l'environnement était profondément lié à sa vision de la justice sociale et de la paix mondiale. Il considérait que la crise écologique était …Plus
L'été indien ! Je viens de prendre cette photo il y a moins d'une heure. C'est à l'embouchure de la rivière Etchemin, à Lévis, sur la rive-sud de Québec. Il fait particulièrement chaud aujourd'hui, soit environ 22'C., pas de vent, un beau soleil, et un ciel parfait !!!
Mais... le temps froid arrive dans moins de 2 jours avec des températures sous zéro la nuit...
Merci @Claudius Cartapus pour toutes ces belles photos de chez nous aux couleurs d'automne.

THE WORKS OF MERCY.
SPIRITUAL WORKS OF MERCY
1. Spiritual works of mercy have for their object the good of the soul of one's neighbour.
2. They also are seven in number, viz., (1) to convert the sinner, (2) to instruct the ignorant, (3) to counsel the doubtful, (4) to comfort the sorrowful, (5) to bear wrongs patiently, (6) to forgive injuries, and (7) to pray for the living and the dead.
3. The Gospel tells us that it is by the spiritual and corporal works of mercy done by us that we shall be judged on the last day: -
« And when the Son of Man shall come in His majesty, and all the angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the seat of His Majesty. And all nations shall be gathered together before Him and He shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats. And He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on his left. Then shall the King say to them that shall be on His right hand: « Come, ye blessed of My Father, possess you the kingdom …Plus

THE WORKS OF MERCY.
THE CORPORAL WORKS OF MERCY
Explanation of the Plate.
1. Mercy is a virtue which incites us to sympathize in the sufferings of others and to alleviate them when we can.
2. There are two classes of works of mercy, viz., corporal works and spiritual works.
3. The corporal works of mercy are those that which relieve the temporal wants of the body.
4. There are seven corporal works of mercy, viz., (1) to feed the hungry, (2) to give drink to the thirsty, (3) to clothe the naked, (4) to harbour the harbourless, (5) to visit the sick, (6) to visit the imprisoned and, (7) to bury the dead. We illustrate here (1), (4), (5) and (7).
Feeding the Hungry
5. The first corporal work of mercy is to feed the hungry.
6. The central picture at the top illustrates the story of the miracle wrought by the prophet Elias on the diminutive store of meal and oil of the widow of Sarephta, so that although drawn upon daily, it suffered no decrease. Here is the story: - During the long …Plus

THE VIRTUES.
THE EVANGELICAL VIRTUES
1. The evangelical virtues, so designated because they are specially recommended in the Gospels (Evangelium = gospel), are closely related to the cardinal virtues and are four in number, viz., Humility, Poverty, Chastity and Obedience.
Humility.
2. Humility is a virtue which enables us to see our own defects and to ascribe to our Maker the little good that may be in us.
Poverty.
3. Poverty is virtue which makes us detach our minds from the things of this world and fix them on God alone.
Chastity.
4. The virtue of chastity impels us to shun all illicit pleasures, and even when these are licit, to enjoy them in moderation.
Obedience.
5. The virtue of obedience prompts us to comply with all lawful commands given by our superiors, regarding these as God's representatives here on earth.
6. These four virtues form the foundation upon which the edifice of Christian perfection has been raised. The Gospel has supernaturalized them and has set its seal on them …Plus

THE VIRTUES.
THE CARDINAL VIRTUES
1. The moral virtues are so called because they are of direct service to us in regulating our morals and shaping our conduct.
2. The principal moral virtues are the four cardinal virtues, so named because upon them hinge all the other moral virtues They are Prudence, Justice, Fortitude and Temperance (Wis. VIII, 7)
3. They had seen recognized and taught by the pagan philosophers of antiquity, but as purely natural virtues. Christianity having supernaturalised them and strengthened them in us through grace, they now have a higher aim.
Prudence.
4. Prudence as a supernatural virtue illuminates the understanding and enables us to choose the surest means for working out our salvation.
Justice.
5. Justice is as a supernatural virtue leads us to render to God and to our fellow-man what is their due. It directs aright our feelings and actions towards our neighbour and makes us humble and diffident in regard to ourselves, just what absolute justice requires of …Plus

THE VIRTUES.
THE THEOLOGICAL VIRTUES
1. A virtue is a habitual predisposition of the soul to do good and to avoid evil.
2. The natural virtues are such as lead us to do good from motives based on reason. Thus to give alms to a needy person because our reason tells us that we ought to relieve our fellowman is to practice a purely natural virtue.
3. The supernatural virtues are so termed because we cannot acquire them of ourselves and they lead us to do good from motives based on Faith, e. g., to give alms to a needy person because through the eye of Faith we see in him the person of Christ Himself.
4. The supernatural virtues are distinguished into theological and moral virtues.
5. The theological virtues are so termed because they relate directly to God. They are three in number, viz., Faith, Hope and Charity.
Faith.
6. Faith is a theological virtue, with the help of which we believe, without doubting, all the truths that God has revealed to us and teaches through His Church.
7. We are …Plus

SIN.
ENVY. - ANGER. - SLOTH.
Envy.
1. Envy is a certain sorrow or vexation caused by the happiness, prosperity or success of another or a malicious joy felt at his misfortune or failure.
2. Envy is a grievous sin, firstly, because it is directly opposed to the love of our neighbour, and secondly, because through it we become like Satan himself, whose envy brought sin into the world and who through envy is always seeking to injure us.
3. The spirit of envy is a perpetual torture to the unfortunate person who falls under its sway. It gnaws at, and eats out, his heart.
4. Envy gives rise to a great many other sins - unfounded suspicious, calumnies, backbiting, discord, hatred and even injury to property and life as well as national suffering and disaster.
5. The contrary virtue is brotherly charity, which disposes us to share the joys and sorrows of others as if they were our own.
6. To guard against envy we must (1) ever bear in mind that we are all brothers in Jesus Christ; (2) pray for …Plus

SIN.
COVETOUSNESS. - LUST. - GLUTTONY.
Covetousness.
1. Covetousness is an inordinate love of earthly goods, especially money.
2. It is not that we are absolutely forbidden to love the goods of this world; what is forbidden is an excessive love of them and for their own sake. We can always desire them in connection with God, considering and using them as a means to our salvation.
3. Love of them becomes excessive when we do not mind offending God in order to acquire, preserve or increase them.
4. Covetousness is a grievous sin. St. Paul calls it an idolatry. « No covetous person (which is a serving of idols) hath inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and of God » (Eph. V, 5.)
5. The poor are not immune against this sin, for to covet is not only to love inordinately what we possess, but also to have an inordinate longing for what we do not possess.
6. Covetousness hardens our hearts against the poor, makes us indifferent towards heavenly things and sometimes even leads us into acquiring …Plus

SIN.
ACTUAL SIN. - THE CAPITAL SIN.
1. Actual sin is every sin which we ourselves commit, whence it is also known as personal sin.
2. It is called actual, because in its commission our will is the sole agent, that is to say, it is an act of our will, in this respect differing from original sin, of which we have contracted the guilt quite irrespectively of any act of our own.
3. We render ourselves guilty of actual sin in four several ways - by thought, word, deed or omission.
4. Thus to judge rashly is to sin in thought; to blaspheme is to sin by word; to do servile work on Sunday is to sin by deed; and not to communicate at Easter is to sin by omission.
5. Actual sin is distinguished into mortal sin and venial sin.
6. By committing mortal sin, we lose the grace of God and deserve everlasting damnation.
7. It is termed mortal because it kills the soul by depriving it of the life of grace and its punishment is the eternal death of hell.
8. For a sin to be a mortal it must be of grave …Plus

SIN.
SIN IN GENERAL. - ORIGINAL SIN.
1. Sin is a deliberate violation of the law of God.
2. For there to be deliberate violation the person should, in the first place, be competent to judge whether what he contemplates doing is right or wrong; and, in the second place, should of his free will do what he knows to be wrong. Without these two conditions he would not be responsible for what he did and it would not be a case of sin.
3. Sin is the greatest of evils, 1stly, because it is an insult to God, whereas other evils touch creatures only; and, 2ndly., because it is the source of all the evils we suffer in this life and in the next.
4. There are two kinds of sin - original sin and actual or personal sin.
5. Original sin is what we attaches to us from our birth and of which we have inherited the guilt through the disobedience of our first parent Adam. Although we are not personally guilty of this sin with our own personal will, yet it was committed by our human nature with the will of …Plus

THE FOUR LAST THINGS
JUDGMENT.
1. According to generally received opinion, the particular judgment (see p. 10, para 8) takes place at the very spot where the person dies.
2. Thus the moment the soul leaves the body she finds herself in the presence of Jesus to be judged according to her works and to hear the sentence determining her fate, whether it is to be one of happiness or of misery.
3. The following two extracts from St. Luke ought to fill us with deep solicitude as to the coming judgment on ourselves and be a warning to us carefully to prepare ourselves for it: « And when great multitude stood about Him so that they trod one upon another, He began to say to His disciples: « Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, nor hidden that shall not be known. For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness shall be published in the light, and that which you have spoken in the ear in chambers shall be preached …Plus

THE FOUR LAST THINGS.
THE DEATH OF THE JUST MAN AND THAT OF THE SINNER.
1. To die a good or holy death is to die in a state of grace. It is the very highest happiness attainable.
2. To die a bad death is to die in a state of mortal sin. It is the most awful calamity that can befall us.
3. We read in Psalms XXXIII, 22 that « the death of the wicked is very evil. »
4. It is very evil because the wicked man, with his sins heavy on him, finds it very hard indeed to quit this world and all its pleasures, for which alone he has lived his life, and because he knows that in a few moments more he will receive in hell the punishment he has so richly merited by such criminal neglect.
5. An awful death was that of Herod as described in the Acts of the Apostles (XII, 19-23). « And when Herod had sought for him (Paul) and found him not, having examined the keepers, he commanded they should be put to death; and going down from Judea to Caesarea, he abode there. And he was angry with the Tyrians and …Plus

THE FOUR LAST THINGS.
1. The end of man is death, immediately followed by judgment, and heaven or hell.
2. It profits us to be always thinking of these four last things, for thus indeed shall we be turned away from sin and filled with ardour for the service of God. Holy Writ warns us: « In all thy works remember thy last end, and thou shalt never sin. » (Eccli. VII, 40.)
Death.
3. Death is the separation of the soul from the body, the passage from time into eternity.
4. It was the sin of our first parents that brought into the world. God had given Adam and Eve this warning: « Of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of paradise you shall not eat, lest perhaps you die. » (Gen. III, 3) They did not heed the warning, but yielding to the perfidious advice of Satan, ate of the forbidden fruit. The result was that they were driven out of paradise and they and their descendants have been subject to the miseries of life and death.
5. Thus it is certain we have all to die as a punishment …Plus

PRAYER.
THE ANGELICAL SALUTATION.
Explanation of the Plate.
1. The Angelic Salutation is so styled because it opens with the words wherewith the Angel Gabriel saluted the Blessed Virgin when announcing to her that she was to be the mother of the Saviour: « Hail (Mary), full of Grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women. » (Luke I, 28).
2. The words which follow, « and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, (Jesus) » were uttered by St. Elizabeth, while « full of the Holy Ghost ». (Ibid, 42.) The rest, in the form of a prayer, was added by the Church: « Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. »
3. « Hail Mary! » So spoke Gabriel (see the picture of MARY IMMACULATE over those words) as he announced to her that she had been chosen by God from among all women for the glorious privilege of becoming the Mother of His Son. His next words « full of grace » prove that Mary has never borne the stain of either original or actual sin and that …Plus

PRAYER.
THE LORS'S PRAYER.
Explanation of the Plate.
1. The several small pictures here illustrate the Lord's Prayer, so called because it was Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, who composed it in order to show us how we should pray. (Matt. VI, 9-13.)
2. The Lord's Prayer consists of a short preface and seven petitions to the Almighty. In the first three of these petitions we pray for what ministers to His glory and in the remaining four we ask for what concerns our own spiritual and temporal welfare.
3. The prefatory words « Our Father who art in heaven » are given in the scroll over the picture of heaven wherein God is manifesting His glory to the angels and saints.
4. The first two words 'Our Father' are there to remind us that we are God's children and that as such we must pray to Him with love and confidence as to our Father.
5. We continue with « Who art in heaven » to make us pray with due respect, remembering that we are addressing One, who is Sovereign Lord of heaven and earth.
6. …Plus
