Venerato come martire, ben presto fu edificata una chiesa sul luogo del suo martirio, e ivi venne deposto il suo corpo. Nel 1662 le reliquie furono traslate nella nuova chiesa, edificata nello stesso luogo in seguito alla liberazione della città dalla peste (1625) per intercessione del Santo.

"A Religious died in the flower of her age in the embrace of the Lord. She had been remarkable for her tender devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. After her death St. Gertrude saw her, brilliant with a celestial light, kneeling before the Divine Master, whose glorified wounds appeared like lighted torches, from whence issued five flaming rays that pierced the five senses of the deceased. The countenance of the latter, however, was clouded by an expression of deep sadness. " Lord Jesus," cried the saint, " how comes it that whilst you thus illumine your servant, why does she not experience perfect joy?"
Chapter XIX ~ Pains of Purgatory — St. Magdalene de Pazzi and Sister Benedicta — St. Gertrude — Blessed Margaret Mary and Mother de Montoux. We read in the Life of St. Magdalene de Pazzi that one of her sisters, named Maria-Benedicta, a Religious of eminent virtue, died in her arms. During her agony she saw a multitude of angels, which surrounded her with a joyful air, waiting until she should breathe forth her soul, that they might bear it to the Heavenly Jerusalem ; and at the moment she expired, the saint saw them receive the soul under the form of a dove, the head of which was of a golden hue, and disappear with her. Three hours later, watching and praying near the remains, Magdalene knew that the soul of the deceased was neither in Paradise nor Purgatory, but in a particular place where, without suffering any sensible pain, she was deprived of the sight of God. The following day, whilst Mass was being celebrated for the soul of Maria-Benedicta, at the Sanctus Magdalene was again …More
MAY 5, 2026 - CHINA'S GOLD RESERVES AND MINES OVERPOWERS NOW THE PRINTED PAPER DOLLAR. CHINA DISCOVERS NEW GOLD MINES IN ITS LAND, AND HAS BOUGHT GOLD FROM AROUND THE WORLD AND NOW IS MOVING TOWARDS GEOPOLITICAL ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE FROM THE DOLLAR WHOSE VALUE IS NOW PAPER, NO LONGER ANY TRUE PHYSICAL RESERVES TO BACK IT UP. REMEMBER THAT EVERY SINGLE PAPER PRINTED OF THE DOLLAR IN THE U.S. IS JUST AN I.O.U. (I OWE YOU) MEANING THAT IT HAS NO VALUE IF THE NATION DOES NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL VALUABLE RESOURCE TO BACK IT UP SUCH AS THE GOLD.
Today, Synod.va published the final report from Study Group 9 on theological criteria and synodal methodologies for discerning doctrinal, pastoral, and ethical questions. It is de facto on homosexuality. The report rejects the term “controversial” and says such matters should be treated as “emerging” issues (page 6). Repeatedly, it speaks of an alleged “paradigm shift” in how the Church interprets the teaching: “The commitment to practising the synodal nature of the Church implies the implementation of a ‘paradigm shift.’” (page 8) The final report even analogizes present ecclesial disputes to the Jerusalem Council’s overturning of circumcision requirements. It demands that synodal outcomes should not be predetermined by “pre-established formulas.” And: “The Church’s mission is not a matter of abstractly proclaiming and deductively applying principles...” (page 9) The final report invents “the stability of a healthy affective relationship” in homosexual contexts as a positive …More
A video of a mom, Dejana, with no arms caring for her baby girl has gone viral. In a culture that labels disability as “inconvenient,” love does not depend on physical ability.
On 2 May, the Apostolic Nuncio to Poland, Antonio Filipazzi, conferred the Sacrament of Confirmation in the Roman rite on 50 young people close to the Institute of the Good Shepherd in Poland. The ceremony took place at the former Camaldolese church in Bielany, Warsaw. Afterwards, a Mass was celebrated, with the nuncio assisting from the throne. The Institute of the Good Shepherd has been working in the Archdiocese of Warsaw for 10 years. Archbishop Filipazzi is a papal loyalist. He praised Pope Francis in 2025 as an "untiring shepherd of the universal Church" who devoted "all his energy to the Church and to all humanity". #newsRokhnoszqy
From DA: "I am a practicing catholic. And I need to say something that's going to make a lot of people uncomfortable. Nigeria, the Sahel, India, Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan, hundreds of Christians have been murdered this year alone. Churches burned to the ground, pastors kidnapped and killed. Communities that have practiced their faith for centuries are being wiped out. Pope Leo XIV has said almost nothing. NO named condemnations, NO emergency visits, NO breaking of protocol, just quiet platitudes about dialogue and peace - directed at nobody in particular. BUT the week Trump escalated the Iran war? Leo flew across continents, gave media interviews, posted viral messages and had three Cardinals appear on 60 minutes in what felt like a coordinated response. Bishop Strickland was removed for defending the Church doctrine. Bishop Fernández in Puerto Rico was removed for defending religious exemptions that the cathechism itself supports. During Covid, goverments padlocked churches across …More
Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh HOLY SMOKES. DOJ report just dropped a bombshell: The Biden DOJ aggressively targeted and harassed Christians, privately called them "CULTISTS" and sought out HARSH prison sentences for peaceful protests Even worse: They used the SPLC to do it! This is outright Christian persecution, right on American soil! LOCK UP everyone who carried this out. "That went beyond disagreement and moved to punishing Christians who held conservative religious beliefs in conflict with the administration's pro-choice gender ideology agenda." "The report found the Biden DOJ brought multiple cases against pro-life activists, many of them Christians, under the FACE Act, the freedom of access to clinic entrances." "Email correspondence shows prosecutors privately mocked Christian pro-life views as culty and pursued more severe charges and harsher sentences for peaceful protests or pro-life defendants." "In contrast, following the Dobbs decision in 2022 that overturned Roe v. Wade, …More
"Hence it is that so few attain to perfection; for after having with much toil overcome the greater vices, they will not persevere in doing violence to themselves by struggling against the promptings of self-will, and an infinity of lesser desires. They grow weary of so unremitting a struggle; they suffer these insignificant enemies to prevail against them, and so to acquire an absolute mastery over their hearts."
[Father Dom Lorenzo Scupoli – XVI-XVII Century AD; Otranto, Kingdom of Naples/Naples, Kingdom of Naples; (aged 79-80); Priest; Spiritual Writer] Chapter XI ~ Of some considerations which may incline the Will to seek to please God in all things Furthermore, to incline the will more readily to seek God's honor and glory in all things, always remember that, in many and various ways, He has first loved and honored you. In creation, by creating you out of nothing after His likeness, and all other creatures for your service. In Redemption, by sending, not an angel, but His only-begotten Son, to redeem you, not with the corruptible price of silver and gold, but with His Precious Blood, and by His most painful and ignominious death. Remember, that every hour, nay, every moment, He protects you from your enemies, fights for you by His grace, offers you continually, in the Sacrament of the Altar, His well-beloved Son, to be your food and your defense; are not all these tokens of the inestimable …More
China and Russia are signing vital contracts with each of those “emancipated” countries. China and Russiade factoare quickly becoming the new lords of Africa.
Agreed! Democrats ARE brainwashed... Any Catholic voting democrat at any moment in their lives, needs to repent of all the babies murdered by the abortion democrat machine they voted for. Anyone who is for abortion is an enemy of God.
May 2nd - Saint of the Day: Saint Antoninus of Florence, Archbishop & Dominican Friar Florence had wealth, power, politics, status, and scandal. Then came Saint Antoninus. A tiny Dominican friar with a giant soul, he became Archbishop of Florence and refused to live like a prince. He wore the Dominican habit, cared for plague victims, reformed corrupt clergy, challenged greed, and quietly helped the “hidden poor” who were too ashamed to beg. He was so wise that people called him the “Angel of Counsel.” Princes, priests, merchants, and ordinary Catholics came to him when life got morally messy. And his whole life can be summed up in one line: “To serve God is to reign.” That hits different in a world obsessed with clout, comfort, and control. Saint Antoninus reminds us that real power is holiness. Real leadership is service. Real wealth is mercy. And real freedom begins when God gets the throne back.

Etimologia: Antonino (come Antonio) = nato prima, o che fa fronte ai suoi avversari, dal gre Emblema: Bastone pastorale, Portamonete Martirologio Romano: A Firenze, sant’Antonino, vescovo, che, dopo …More
