On Palm Sunday, Leo XIV used the ferula again, which features a risen Christ leaving the cross. He has used this ferula since 6 January 2026. On 9 January, the Office for the Liturgical Celebrations told VaticanNews.va that the cross "unites the mission of proclaiming the mystery of Christ on the cross with the glorious manifestation of the resurrection". The ferula "presents Christ no longer bound by the nails of the Passion, but with his glorified body", according to the papal office. And: "The Paschal Mystery thus becomes a source of hope for humanity because death no longer has any power over mankind since Christ redeemed everything he assumed." #newsBcyvklvfjo

[Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori – XVII – XVIII Century AD: Marianella, Kingdom of Naples/Pagani, Kingdom of Naples; (aged 90); spiritual writer, composer, musician, artist, poet, lawyer, scholastic philosopher, and theologian, Founder, Bishop, Doctor of the Church] “18. A woman of Cologne who had criminal intercourse with an ecclesiastic, found him one day hanging in her room dead. After this she entered into a monastery, where the devil assailed her in a bodily form, so that she knew not what to do in order to be delivered from him. A companion suggested to her to say the "Hail Mary;" and when she did so the demon said: "Accursed may she be who has taught you this," and appeared no more. 19. A certain baron who led a very sinful life was accidentally visited in his castle by a religious, who, enlightened by God, begged him to assemble together all his servants. They all came except the chamberlain. He at last was forced to come in, and the Father said to him: "Now, I command you in …ఇంకా
"20. The blessed Francis Patrizii, who greatly loved the devotion of the "Hail Marys," recited five hundred every day. Mary made known to him the hour of his death. He died as a saint; and after forty years a most beautiful lily sprung from his mouth, which was then transported into France, and on the leaves of it was written the "Hail Mary," in letters of gold."

01.04.2026 CANONICAL PETITION: BISHOP MICHAEL T. MARTIN OFM Conv., DIOCESE OF CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, USA If I was living in the Diocese of Charlotte, I could file a canonical petition saying I interpret Vatican Council II rationally and Bishop Michael T. Martin irrationally and so politically. He has no right to be a bishop. I would say that the baptism of desire refers to an invisible case in 2026 for me, but is a visible, known person, saved outside the Catholic Church, in 2026, for the bishop. So Lumen Gentium 14 is an explicit exception for the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (Council of Florence 1442 etc) for Bishop Martin but not for me. He is in schism with the Magisterium and missionaries of the 16th century. For the Jesuits in the Middle Ages the baptism of desire and being saved in invincible ignorance, referred to hypothetical cases only. This is common sense. So for me the Athanasius Creed has no exceptions in Vatican Council II but for Bishop Martin explicit cases…ఇంకా
3.1K views · 219 reactions | The original Abbey Road? Kirkstall is one of the best-preserved Cistercian abbeys in England. The abbey church still stands to roof level, which is remarkable. Often locals after the Reformation used the monastic buildings for storing grain and housing livestock, transforming the monasteries into farm buildings. That was partially the case here at Kirkstall but most remarkable is the conversation of the nave into a road. The main road was diverted through the nave of the abbey church following the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539 to stop the monks from returning. Hence, until the 19th century, the road from Leeds to Skipton ran right through the nave! | Great British Architecture The original Abbey Road?

To be clear, in the case of heresy it is God who judges it because the Catholic Faith is revealed by God. The Pope is in effect judged by God as a heretic when he rejects the faith. Any man can identify the Pope as a heretic freely without any problem in that case. The man is not judging the Pope, the Pope has already been judged by God. The man is simply expressing an existing judgement.
Speaking to journalists in Castel Gandolfo this evening, Pope Leo XIV called on world leaders to “come back to the table” and solve their problems through dialogue (video below). "I'm told that President Trump recently said he wanted to end the war. Hopefully, he is looking for a way out. I hope he's looking for a way to reduce the violence and bombing, which would significantly help to reduce the constant increase in hatred in the Middle East and elsewhere." Leo XIV added, "Come back to the table and engage in dialogue. Let's look for solutions to problems and ways to reduce violence, so that peace — especially at Easter — might reign in our hearts." The Pope was also asked about his decision to personally carry the cross during the traditional Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum on Friday. "I think it will be an important sign because of what the Pope represents: a spiritual leader in today's world and a voice saying that Christ still suffers." When asked what he expects from his …ఇంకా

Holy, chaste, and flowering are thy breasts: which blossomed into the flower of eternal greenness. The beauty of thy grace will never see corruption: and the grace of thy countenance will never fade. Blessed art thou, O sublime Rod of Jesse: for thou hast raised thyself unto Him who sits in the highest. O Virgin Queen, thou thyself art the way by which salvation from on high hath visited us.
