On the return flight to Rome on April 23, Leo XIV took questions from selected journalists. Main quotes. - We must promote a culture of peace. The issue is not whether there is regime change or not; the issue is how to promote the values we believe in without the death of so many innocent people. - The situation in Iran is clearly very complex. Even the negotiations themselves—one day Iran says yes and the United States says no, and vice versa. - I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during the visit to Lebanon, was waiting there with a sign saying “Welcome Pope Leo.” He has been killed in this final phase of the war. - A state has the right to regulate its borders. I am not saying that everyone must be allowed to enter without order. - We must treat migrants humanely, not treat them worse than animals, as often happens. - The issue of human trafficking is also part of migration. - What are we doing in richer countries to change the situation in poorer countries? - Africa is …ད་རུང་།
Go to your muslim friends and tell THEM 'we must promote a culture of peace'. Tell them to their faces - unambiguously ie tell them to stop murdering and hating Christians. Tell them that their populations in the Christian West need to respect OUR culture, OUR Christianity, OUR history - or leave. Preferably leave. Start preaching it regularly to the whole world without exception - and see what happens.
It is indeed a tremendous miracle to see God taking flesh and becoming man, and a greater miracle still to see Him suspended on the cross. But the highest of all miracles, O Christ our God, is Your ineffable presence under the mystic species. Truly You did institute, through this great Sacrament, a remembrance of all Your marvels. How merciful of You, O God, to give Yourself as food to those who fear You! To recall Your covenant forever, and to remember your passion and your death until the day of Your glorious coming! From Benediction, Byzantine Daily Worship, Alleluia Press, 1969. “When you look at the crucifix, you understand how much Jesus loved you. When you look at the Sacred Host you understand how much Jesus loves your now.” Saint Mother Theresa.
Derniers jours d’avril. Consacrés au Saint-Sacrement. C’est en effet un miracle extraordinaire de voir Dieu s’incarner et devenir homme, et un miracle encore plus grand de Le voir suspendu à la croix. Mais le plus grand de tous les miracles, ô Christ notre Dieu, c’est Votre présence ineffable sous les espèces mystiques. En vérité, Vous avez institué, par ce grand Sacrement, un souvenir de toutes Vos merveilles. Quelle miséricorde de Votre part, ô Dieu, de Vous donner Vous-même en nourriture à ceux qui Vous craignent ! De rappeler Votre alliance pour toujours, et de Vous souvenir de votre passion et de Votre mort jusqu’au jour de Votre glorieuse venue ! Extrait de Benediction, Byzantine Daily Worship, Alleluia Press, 1969. « Quand vous regardez le crucifix, vous comprenez à quel point Jésus vous a aimés. Quand vous regardez la Saint-Sacrement, vous comprenez à quel point Jésus vous aime maintenant. » Sainte Mère Thérèse.

Ambiences, Customs and Civilizations Catolicismo, Campos (Rio de Janeiro), no. 23 – November 1952 by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira How the modern world, caught up in sensuality, deceives itself when it sees only decadence in aging. When one knows how to esteem the spirit more highly than the body, growing old is to grow into what is most noble, the soul. Although aging does entail bodily decadence, this is only the material element in the human person. The body may indeed lose its beauty and its vigor, but it may enrich itself with the translucence of a soul that knew how to develop and grow along the course of life. This translucence constitutes the highest beauty the human face may acquire. _____________________________* * * * ______________________________ Saint Mary Euphrasia Pelletier was born in the island of Noirmoutier of pious parents on July 31, 1796, and received in baptism the name of Rose Virginia.

Video included Speaking exclusively to RT on Thursday, Andrey Kartapolov, chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee, warned that Finnish lawmakers would be making a “big mistake” if they voted in favor of the bill. The arrival of foreign nuclear weapons in the Nordic country would significantly undermine its own security, according to the senior Russian MP. The relevant military installations on Finnish soil would inevitably end up on Russian strategic forces’ priority target list, Kartapolov predicted.

One would have to be naive to believe Trump’s representatives are coming to this notorious forum to change it from within. After all, actions speak louder than words. “You will know them by their fruits,” and those fruits are already plain to see. The alignment is translating into concrete policy across. A few bones thrown to the people to quiet them doesn't count as fruit. A bone is a bone. Call it what it is.
"There, my brethren, is a religion which is true, which has taken root in the soul. Tell me, if all of those poor Christians who make profession of religion were subjected to such trials, would they imitate this young man? Ah, my dear brethren, what murmurings there would be, what bitternesses, what thoughts of revenge, of slander, of calumny, even perhaps of going to law...."
[Saint John Vianney, XVIII-XIX Century, (aged 73), born: Dardilly, Lyonnais, Kingdom of France/died: Ars-sur-Formans, Ain, French Empire, Cure d’Ars, French Priest, patron saint of parish priests] “2. Have you religion in your heart ? Alas, my dear brethren, what have we become even since our conversion? Instead of going always forward and increasing in holiness, what laziness and what indifference we display! God cannot endure this perpetual inconstancy with which we pass from virtue to vice and from vice to virtue. Tell me, my children, is not this the very pattern of the way you live? Are your poor lives anything other than a succession of good deeds and bad deeds? Is it not true that you go to Confession and the very next day you fall again -- or perhaps the very same day? .... How can this be, unless the religion you have is unreal, a religion of habit, a religion of long-standing custom, and not a religion rooted in the heart? Carry on, my friend; you are only a waverer!
