“Belshazzar’s Feast – The Writing on the Wall” A depiction of the fateful night in Babylon, where King Belshazzar, drunk with pride, defiles the sacred vessels of the Temple of Jerusalem. Amid golden lamps, jewels, music, and rivers of wine, men and women raise holy goblets in blasphemous praise to idols of gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone. The air is thick with arrogance, yet unseen, heaven prepares judgment—the hand of God is about to write on the wall Belshazzar's feast, or the story of the writing on the wall, chapter 5 in the Book of Daniel, tells how Neo-Babylonian royal but corrupt Belshazzar holds a great feast and drinks from the vessels that had been looted in the destruction of the First Temple. A hand appears and writes on the wall. The terrified Belshazzar calls for his wise men, but they cannot read the writing. The queen advises him to send for Daniel, renowned for his wisdom. Daniel reminds Belshazzar that his father, Nebuchadnezzar, when he became …More
[Saint John of the Cross – XVI Century AD; Fontiveros, Crown of Castile, Spanish Monarchy/Ubeda, , Crown of Castile, Spanish Monarchy; (Aged 49); Priest, Mystic, Writer, Doctor of the Church] “ARGUMENT ALL the doctrine whereof I intend to treat in this Ascent of Mount Carmel is included in the following stanzas, and in them is also described the manner of ascending to the summit of the Mount, which is the high estate of perfection which we here call union of the soul with God. And because I must continually base upon them that which I shall say, I have desired to set them down here together, to the end that all the substance of that which is to be written may be seen and comprehended together; although it will be fitting to set down each stanza separately before expounding it, and likewise the lines of each stanza, according as the matter and the exposition require. The poem, then, runs as follows: STANZAS Wherein the soul sings of the happy chance which it had in passing through the …More
Who knows the mystery of 6-7? Is it a hint? Could it be Revelations 6:7 7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” (8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him.) Or Genesis 6:7 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” Or hopefully Psalm 67 May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine on us—[b] 2 so that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations. 3 May the peoples praise you, God; may all the peoples praise you. 4 May the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you rule the peoples with equity and guide the nations of the earth. 5 May the peoples praise you, God; may all the peoples praise you. 6 The land yields its harvest; God, our God, blesses us. …More
Saint Silvester Gozzolini | Founder of the Sylvestrines | Catechism for Kids (November 26th) St Joseph's Corner Have you ever wondered how one person’s quiet search for God can grow into a whole religious family? On November 26, the Church celebrates Saint Silvester Gozzolini, an Italian priest who left behind a comfortable life to follow God more closely — and eventually founded the Sylvestrine Order, part of the Benedictine family. Born in 1177, Silvester served as a priest but felt called to deeper prayer after witnessing the funeral of a sinner who had avoided repentance. Shocked and moved, he sought a holier life and went into solitude near Montefano, where he prayed, fasted, and lived simply. Soon, disciples gathered around him, inspired by his holiness. This led to the creation of the Sylvestrines, a branch of the Benedictines known for their deep prayer, strict monastic life, blue habits, and love for simplicity. Saint Silvester spent his life teaching others how to love …More
Dr. Maalouf - Churches in Germany are now inviting imams to recite Muslim prayers a... Churches in Germany are now inviting imams to recite Muslim prayers and calls of Allahu Akbar to appear more ‘inclusive.’ Would the opposite ever be allowed? I don’t think so. …
Hayli Gubbi, Ethiopia’s long-dormant volcano, located in the Erta Ale Range, has erupted for the first time in 10,000 years, spewing towering ash columns that drifted across the Red Sea toward Oman and Yemen. Scientists say the eruption marks one of the most extraordinary volcanic awakenings in the region’s recorded history. The explosive eruption began around 8:30 a.m. UTC on Sunday, according to VolcanoDiscovery, citing an advisory from the Toulouse Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC). Satellite data later confirmed the presence of a massive ash cloud rising an estimated 10–15 km into the atmosphere. Where is Hayli Gubbi and why is this eruption significant? Hayli Gubbi lies about 15 km southeast of the Erta Ale volcano, one of the most active volcanoes on Earth and home to a persistent lava lake. It also sits within Ethiopia’s Danakil Depression, one of the hottest and most remote areas on the planet. Unlike its well-known neighbor, Hayli Gubbi has no previously recorded eruptions …
That's no problem for zelensky. He will accept this willingly and quickly. Russia banned “LGBT propaganda” in 2022 and labelled LGBT an extremist organization in 2024. Moscow opposes Ukraine joining NATO but initially stayed neutral on EU membership. In March, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Kiev had the “sovereign right” to join if the EU remained economic in nature.

Please put on CC because he tells us a lot about the Church. The oldest Catholic Church in Russia. Built in 1773. I am adding a comment from below video. The CATHOLIC Church of St Catherine in St Petersburg, Russia The Catholic Church of St Catherine (Russian: Католическая церковь Святой Екатерины) in St. Petersburg is the oldest Catholic church in Russia, and the only church with the title of basilica (status granted on 23 July 2013). It is located on the Nevsky Prospekt in St Petersburg, Russia, and is a part of the Archdiocese of Moscow headed by Msgr. Paolo Pezzi. The CATHOLIC Church of St Catherine in St Petersburg, Russia Comment from under the video. Visited this church in the early 2000’s. Lovely feeling. The soviets used it as a warehouse. The unfinished chapel is a poignant vision of what those Godless people did to the church. Apparently before the revolution there were over 20 Catholic parishes in St. Petersburg area. 20 years ago?
5G und WLAN: Die ignorierten Fakten Die Organisation diagnose:funk kritisiert in einem offenen Brief eine bekannte TV-Sendung, die 5G und WLAN als risikofrei darstellte, da sie zentrale wissenschaftliche Fakten ignoriert habe. Die Kritik zielt auf das sogenannte „thermische Dogma“ ab. Das „thermische Dogma“ ist die Annahme, dass hochfrequente elektromagnetische Felder (HF-EMF) – das ist die Strahlung von Mobilfunk und WLAN – nur schädlich sein könne, wenn sie den Körper erwärmt. Hunderte seriöse Studien belegen jedoch biologische Effekte, die ohne Erhitzung ablaufen. Sehen sie dazu auch die umfangreiche Literaturliste in der Anfrage von diagnose:funk an ZDFneo. Experten weisen darauf hin, dass diese unbeachteten nicht-thermischen Effekte oxidativen Stress – eine zellschädigende Reaktion durch freie Radikale – verursachen können. Des Weiteren zeigten hochwertige Tierstudien, die als „Goldstandard“ gelten, ein statistisch signifikantes Krebspotenzial für bestimmte Tumore bei Ratten …More
At today’s presentation of the sexual psychology document Una caro. Elogio della monogamia, Tucho Fernández linked celibacy with abuse, reports German agency KNA. A priest cannot expect to fill his feelings of loneliness with another person, he said, noting that this can give rise to abuse: "I have to resolve my feelings of emptiness, loneliness, and psychological problems in other ways." For decades, many experts have pointed out that there is no evidence that celibate men are more likely to be pedophiles than the general male population. Psychologists and criminologists also emphasize that celibacy itself does not increase the likelihood of pedophilic tendencies [but how about porn?]. Furthermore: Data from Germany indicate that the extent of sexual abuse in Protestant and Catholic institutions is comparable. #newsCsohvpenln
Who would even think that Tucho is a Catholic? Who would even consider his documents seriously? Who would even say that the documents Tucho publishes could in any way be accepted or used within the Catholic Church?
Full quote: “Certainly what is said about non-possession also applies to us. As a priest, I cannot presume to fill my sense of loneliness by using another person. Abuse also comes from there, doesn’t it? From my sense of emptiness, of loneliness. I should look for other ways, not another person who can satisfy these needs. This also applies to the celibate.”
