On Holy Thursday, Leo XIV washed and kissed the feet of 12 priests in the Lateran Basilica. In his homily, he remembered his predecessor: "As Pope Francis once remarked: 'This is a duty that comes from the heart. I love it. I love it and I love doing it, because that is what the Lord has taught me to do.' He was not speaking of an abstract imperative or a formal, empty command, but rather expressing his heartfelt obedience to the charity of Christ, the source and model of our own charity."
Il Giovedì Santo, Papa Leone XIV lava i piedi a 12 sacerdoti.
I recall the article from the now defunct satire website, The Eye of the Tiber, from a few years ago: "According to the Catholic Information Service, those 12 included one woman, a Muslim, a pet ferret named Wilbur, and a double amputee."
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
[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 …Ավելին
"It is therefore right and necessary for the mind to raise itself above itself and everything created by the abandonment of everything, with humble reverence and great trust, and to say within itself, He whom I seek, love, thirst for and desire from everything and more than anything is not a thing of the senses or the imagination, but is above everything that can be experienced by the senses and the intellect. He cannot be experienced by any of the senses, but is completely desirable to my will. He is moreover not discernable, but is perfectly desirable to my inner affections. He cannot be comprehended, but can be loved in his fullness with a pure heart, for he is above all lovable and desirable, and of infinite goodness and perfection."
And yet in Iran they have The Blessed Mother with The Holy Ghost as well as Christ in their Metro Station dedicated to them. On the outside of the Metro, They also have the Blessed Mother Statue on each side of her are Catholic Martyrs who are respected and accepted. Right in Teharn, Iran!
“Looks like another fake shooting to me!” —Jeffrey Ade @Jeffrey Ade Would to God it were “fake” my dear brother Jeffrey, then those precious children who were slaughtered yesterday while sitting in the House of God at Mass would still be alive and with their families and those who loved and cherished them. But alas, it is very real….painfully, tragically, unspeakably real. Of that, there can be no doubt nor debate. The smothering darkness spawned from hell itself that was manifested there in Minneapolis cannot be denied nor written off flippantly as just some misbegotten conspiracy theory, as we have seen vile, lying, loud-mouthed self-aggrandizers such as Alex Jones shamelessly and falsely allege regarding other episodes of mass-murder of children. No, you mustn’t fall into that trap of diabolical deceit and delusion, and in so doing, offensively disparage the plight of the families and cheapen the lives lost and the blood that was shed by both the dead and the wounded. There can …Ավելին
The sad part of this, is that those children will not receive prayers they need. All because of the conspiracy theorist who love to confound the mind and brainwash the people. The children and family are the ones to lose out. While the conspiracy theorists walk away laughing thinking we were duped and nothing happened to those children. The won't believe until GOD forbid it will happen to them. That's always the way it works.
I find sympathy and closeness to the poor and oppressed by obeying our lady of Fatima's request in praying the Rosary every day for the conversion of poor sinners and the consecration of Russia to the immaculate heart of Mary. I simply do not believe everything the mass media puts out. God bless you!
The Jews conspire against Christ. He is anointed by Mary. The treason of Judas. The last supper. The prayer in the garden. The apprehension of our Lord. His treatment in the house of Caiphas. Douay-Rheims Bible, Matthew Chapter 26
"He has come into our country and dwelt in one body amidst the many, and in consequence the designs of the enemy against mankind have been foiled and the corruption of death, which formerly held us in its power, has simply ceased to exist. For the human race would have perished utterly had not the Lord and Savior of all, the Son of God, come among us to put and end to death." Saint Athanasios of Alexandria

It's Time to give up the sinful life; we can die unexpectedly at any moment and front up to our Particular Judgement before God Almighty especially with current Events around the world and more Tribulations to arrive!
Low IQ fanboys. This is what your church wants. Basically man-children. When tradition has been completely erased, there is no need for memory. Everything is transient and juvenile. There is nothing eternal, and thus there is no peace, only disturbance, like a churning adolescence.
Marxist idolater apostate Robert Prevost: "It is the way of the Incarnation, which always takes the form of inculturation. Salvation, in fact, can only be received by each person through his or her native language. “How is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language?” ( Acts 2:8). "
1. The War Was Predictably Destabilizing The speaker begins by saying any competent analyst should have known that attacking Iran would disrupt global energy markets. Iran has the capability to interfere with oil flows (especially in key shipping lanes), so economic fallout was a “known known”—not a surprise. 2. Failure to Build International Support They contrast this conflict with earlier U.S. wars: 1991 Gulf War: A broad coalition was built before combat—European allies, Arab states, and NATO partners were aligned. 2003 Iraq War: Even though controversial, the U.S. at least attempted to gain NATO backing and international legitimacy. Current situation: No real diplomatic effort was made to build a coalition. Europe is refusing to participate. European economies are already strained (e.g., from Russia sanctions), and this war is worsening their situation. Conclusion: The U.S. acted unilaterally and now stands isolated. 3. No Serious War Planning The speaker argues the war was launched …Ավելին
"#1 The War Was Predictably Destabilizing" Who benefits? Certainly not US interests. Destabilizing the region is exactly what Israel wants. Bibi's mission accomplished.
Merkel redet sich stets raus und sucht andere Schuldige. Sie ist aber Hauptakteurin. Den Vertrag von Minsk 2016, der den Donbass hätte befrieden sollen, hat sie gezielt untergraben lassen. Mit Einhaltung des Vertrages gäbe es heute keinen Ukrainekrieg.
Pope Leo XIV has appointed Paola Fanelli on April 1 as Director of the Directorate for Personnel of the Holy See, a role within the Secretariat for the Economy. She takes over responsibility for personnel policy across Vatican dicasteries. There is no public record of her expressing views on Catholic teaching. She brings a background in organizational change and human resources. Her institutional background is rooted within BNL BNP Paribas (banking). Notably, she took part, as a BNL representative, in a closed-door think tank in 2018 organized by UNICEF Italy. Fanelli's position has, because of its unique weight, a somewhat unusual history. On March 6, 2020, the Holy See Press Office announced that such an office had been established, in a reform effort backed by Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich. But the next day, the same office clarified that it remained merely a proposal under consideration. The idea stalled at the time, amid internal resistance and broader reform turbulence. With …Ավելին
