Leo XIV rejected assisted dying at Lourdes, warning against “false compassion” and declaring that “what is legal is not necessarily moral.” Pope Leo XIV on Sunday strongly rejected euthanasia while addressing sick and disabled people and healthcare workers at the Sanctuary of Lourdes, France. Speaking at the Accueil Notre-Dame, Leo XIV said the human person is “worthy” simply by virtue of existing and that human dignity “cannot be measured or debated.” “No human law should ever make you lose the certainty of your dignity,” he said. He continued: “We must reject the temptation to cause death under the guise of false compassion.” Leo XIV added: “It is impossible to regard causing death as something normal. What is legal is not necessarily moral.” Turning directly to healthcare workers, he said their vocation is “to care for a suffering person, not to eliminate that person.” The Pope also repeated a warning he made in June that medicine must never become “the servant of programmed death,”…കൂടുതൽ

“Encounter” (Encontro) is a white-marble sculpture by Portuguese architect and artist Álvaro Siza Vieira, unveiled in the Vatican Gardens on September 24. The anthropomorphic work depicts a slender, stylized figure positioned near an olive tree and facing the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica. It was previously displayed as part of the Holy See Pavilion at the 2023 Venice Biennale. At the unveiling, Vatican Governor Sister Raffaella Petrini described it as an encounter between art, the Pope’s gardens, and the community. Open to individual interpretation, the sculpture is intended to evoke care for our “Common Home,” fraternity, peace, and a “culture of encounter.”
New sculpture installed in Vatican gardens: My first associations are a giant outdoor Wi-Fi router, a solar-powered parking meter, a minimalist surveillance camera, a patio table growing out of a bollard, or an unfinished Starlink terminal for the Vatican.

‘HOW GOD MAKES USE OF PURGATORY…’ ~ ‘Treatise on Purgatory’ by Saint Catherine of Genoa; 1915; Chapters XVII; pp. 48-52; part II [Saint Catherine of Genoa ~ XV-XVI Century; born: Genoa, Republic of Genoa/ died: Genoa, Republic of Genoa; (aged 62-63); Mystic; Spiritual Writer] I am sensible of all these things I have described as it were by sight and touch, but I cannot find fitting words to express myself as I could wish. I have said what I have, because I was conscious of its going on spiritually within me. The prison in which I fancy myself shut up is the world ; the chain by which I am held is the body ; the soul enlightened is she who, knowing well the grievousness of being detained and kept back by any hindrance from reaching her end, suffers thereby great pain, inasmuch as she is very tender. God, by His grace, bestows upon her a dignity which makes her like God, and not only like God, but even one with Him through participating in His goodness ; and as it is impossible that God …കൂടുതൽ
" The man who would sooner die than offend God, feels death and the pain of dying ; but the sight of God supplies him with a zeal which makes him think more of the Divine honour than bodily death. In like manner, a soul knowing what God has appointed for it thinks more of the appointment than any outward or inward pain, no matter how dreadful ; and this be cause God, the Author of it, surpasses everything that can be thought of or imagined."
"...the soul remains in suffering great in proportion to its appreciation of God. This appreciation of God grows with its knowledge of God ; and its knowledge is greater the more it is free from sin : and the delay becomes more and more terrible, because the soul wholly immersed in God, knows Him without error, there being no thing in the way to prevent such knowledge."

The Infinite Ocean I remember when I was in highschool, the school took us to a catholic retreat, the confessional was open and it was my turn, an old priest was waiting, I sat down and pour my sins in the open, that confession was like any other... Repeat offender? Yeah, Did I want to get better? Sure, but the only thing I remember about this particular confession was what happened at the end... The priest took his hand and put it exactly where my heart is and said to me: "Remember this, Jesus loves you, He loves you." My heart started to burn, literally... The sensation or the feel of this fire burning my heart from the inside out was surprising yes, ethereal and magnific... There and then I knew Love. This actually happened to me, such an unworthy human being, no humility, no holiness, no nothing just a sad clown looking to roll with the world, while my Lord waited and waited and waited and still... waits on me, this sack of unworthiness, I wish the Love I was shown in my heart would've …കൂടുതൽ
36K views · 212K reactions | To stand in solidarity means putting down the script. Being a real human. Having a heart for children, for the oppressed, for people suffering even when they don’t look like you, pray like you, vote like you, or come from where you come from. It means refusing to let politics, religion, nationality, or propaganda decide whose pain matters. You don’t have to agree with everything someone believes to recognize their humanity. You don’t have to belong to their group to care when they’re hurting. And you shouldn’t need permission from your side to say something is wrong. Being a good person isn’t a switch you turn on and off depending on who’s suffering. If your compassion only extends to people you agree with, that isn’t solidarity. It’s not empathy either. It’s bigotry. Humanity has to come first. It’s time we all stop playing a role in Satan’s circus, and start standing up for each other as children of God. One love #china#netanyahu#epstein#…കൂടുതൽ
We are not the pope. Not prelates. Not even priests here. And some priests here are pretend priests. So claiming "errors of Russia" for the proper consecration Russia on the faithful and souls interested in the faith is weird. Meaningless to the average person.
French traditional Catholics managed to hand a letter to Pope Leo XIV. Yesterday evening, on the sidelines of the vigil at the Stade de France, an alternative prayer vigil was held outside the Apostolic Nunciature, asking Pope Leo XIV to allow greater access to the sacraments and Mass in the traditional rite. According to BVoltaire.fr, Catholics greeted Pope Leo XIV upon his arrival at the Nunciature in Paris and handed him a letter. One Catholic said: “We want to let the Pope know that there is in France a large, very dynamic traditional community.” Another added: “We would like to have more churches and resources to celebrate the traditional Mass.”

Amos 3:3; “Do two people walk together, without agreeing?”: They will deceive, if posible, even the choosen: Many consecrated will break the Vows they made with God and embrace what is abominable to be “Canonically Recognized by the Pope”. 1) Matthew 24:25 “Behold, I have told you this in advance!”: 2) Judas 1:4; Certain people have crept in among you, and they are precisely those about whom you were warned in writing long ago, when they were condemned for denying all religion, turning the grace of our God into immorality, and rejecting our one Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. 3) 2 Peter 2:1–3; “Just as there were false prophets in the past history of our people, so you too will have your false teachers, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Lord who bought them.

Robot goes crazy first day on the job. Security camera footage from an office in China captures a startling malfunction involving a Unitree humanoid robot during what appears to be routine indoor testing or demonstration. The robot initially stands normally before suddenly erupting into violent, erratic arm movements, rapidly swinging its limbs and shifting into an aggressive looking stance that sends nearby employees rushing to intervene. Several staff members quickly surround the machine, attempting to restrain it as it continues flailing and resisting for several tense seconds. The dramatic scene, which many online compared to a science fiction movie, ends with workers successfully bringing the robot under control. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported. While the exact cause has not been publicly confirmed, incidents like this are commonly associated with software glitches, sensor failures, or control system errors during development. As humanoid robots continue expanding into …കൂടുതൽ
