[Dionysius the Areopagite – I Century AD; Hieromartyr and Bishop of Athens; Converted by St. Paul] “Chapter II That Divine and Celestial matters are fittingly revealed even through unlike symbols. I consider, then, that in the first place we must explain our conception of the purpose of each Hierarchy and the good conferred by each upon its followers; secondly we must celebrate the Celestial Hierarchies as they are revealed in the Scriptures; and finally we must say under what holy figures the descriptions in the sacred writings portray those Celestial Orders, and to what kind of purity we ought to be guided through those forms lest we, like the many, should impiously suppose that those Celestial and Divine Intelligences are many-footed or many-faced beings, or formed with the brutishness of oxen, or the savageness of lions, or the curved beaks of eagles, or the feathers of birds, or should imagine that they are some kind of fiery wheels above the heavens, or material thrones upon which …More
"Celestial and Divine Intelligences are many-footed or many-faced beings, or formed with the brutishness of oxen, or the savageness of lions, or the curved beaks of eagles, or the feathers of birds, or should imagine that they are some kind of fiery wheels above the heavens, or material thrones upon which the Supreme Deity may recline, or many-coloured horses, or commanders of armies, or whatever else of symbolic description has been given to us in the various sacred images of the Scriptures."
In a separate post on X late on Tuesday, Tinubu said he has ordered a full security cordon over the forests in Kwara State in response to the kidnappings and acts of terrorism. “The Air Force is to maintain continuous surveillance over the most remote areas, synchronizing operations with ground units to effectively identify, isolate, disrupt, and neutralize all hostile elements,” he wrote.
Wed Nov 26, 2025 - 12:01 am ESTWed Nov 26, 2025 - 5:51 am EST (LifeSiteNews) — God often brings the world to those who flee from it, as Sylvester Gozzolini among others experienced. In the thirteenth century, the world, all in admiration at the sanctity and the eloquence of the new orders, seemed to have forgotten the monks and the desert. God, who never forgets, led his elect silently into solitude, and the wilderness began again to rejoice and flourish like the lily; strength was restored to the weak hands and feeble knees (Isaiah 35:1-3) of the sons of the cloister. The austerities of olden days and the fervor of prolonged prayer were revived at Monte Fano, and extended into sixty other monasteries; the new religious family of the Sylvestrians was approved by Innocent IV in 1247. Though originated seven centuries after St. Benedict, and distinguished from the elder families by its blue habit, it claims the Patriarch of Cassino for its legislator and father. Let us read the life …

Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś of Łódź as the new Archbishop of Kraków in Poland. Born in Krakow in 1964, he was ordained as a priest in 1988. In 2011, Benedict XVI appointed him as an auxiliary bishop of Krakow. Pope Francis named him archbishop of Łódź in 2017 and cardinal in September 2023. Francis' man in Poland Edward Pentin described Cardinal Ryś on CollegeOfCardinalsReport.com as an extremely liberal bishop and as Poland’s "Pope Francis man". "His elevation to the cardinalate was seen as a reward and encouragement for his attempts to reform Poland's conservative Church." Pentin added that, since Ryś became a member of the Congregation for Bishops in October 2023, new bishops in Poland have been more progressive than their predecessors. Like Cardinal Ryś, they all strongly promote the Church’s new synodal way. In October 2023, Cardinal Ryś said that opposition to Pope Francis is "completely unjust" and "always based on one or two phrases taken out of …More
Overflow With Grace Before The Hour Comes The Gospel reading emphasizes the importance of being prepared for the Lord’s return, not by focusing on our own salvation, but by striving to love God more. This love should be pure and selfless, not driven by personal gain or comparison to others, but by a genuine desire to reciprocate God’s love. By focusing on loving God more, we naturally align ourselves with His will and ensure our readiness for His return. Fr. Altier’s Daily Homilies Fr.

French Archbishop Allows Illegal Immigrants to Occupy a Church: On Sunday, 23 November, about fifty young undocumented migrants occupied Saint-Polycarpe Church in Lyon with the parish priest’s approval. Archbishop Olivier de Germay announced via the Archdiocese of Lyon’s official account that he would not call the police and would allow the group to enter the church each afternoon and evening so it can remain open for prayer. He said this was an emergency response and that political leaders still bear responsibility for addressing the wider migration situation. Saint-Polycarpe, a protected historic monument from the 17th–18th centuries, houses an 1841 organ by Augustine Zeiger.

Contrary to the optimistic picture presented by Vatican News, the Vatican’s 2024 financial statement shows an improved but still structurally weak fiscal position. The Curia’s operating deficit narrowed from –€52.4 million in 2022 to –€33.5 million in 2024, but the deficit remains recurring. The year’s small surplus of €1.6 million was achieved mainly through non-repeatable factors: higher donations and a sharp rise in financial gains linked to the sale of long-held investments. Key cost pressures continue to grow. Personnel expenses increased steadily from €158 million (2022) to €175.4 million (2024) despite stated containment efforts. Real-estate maintenance costs jumped from €13.2 million to €24.2 million in one year, without a matching rise in property income. The Vatican also acknowledges that much of 2024’s improved result came from “punctual” financial effects unlikely to recur.

The president said he has “never worked so hard in my life. Yet despite all of this the Radical Left Lunatics in the soon to fold New York Times did a hit piece on me that I am perhaps losing my Energy, despite facts that show the exact …More
New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has revealed that the strangest item he encountered in the Oval Office during his meeting with President Donald Trump last week was a dossier titled “UFC at the White House”. Appearing on The Adam Friedland Show Wednesday, Mamdani said he had entered the room and encountered “all these different coffee table books” spread out across the furniture. “One of them is ‘UFC at the White House,’” he continued, adding that he previously had “no idea” about the mixed martial arts event the president is intending to stage on the South Lawn in June next year to celebrate the 250th anniversary of America. New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is interviewed by Adam Friedland on Wednesday November 25 2025 (The Adam Friedland Show/YouTube) “I was just flipping through that,” Mamdani said, explaining when pressed for more details that it was essentially just a file of concept art for what the octagon-shaped cage arena might look like once it is …More
