Pope Leo XIV celebrated a Eucharist in St. Peter’s Basilica in memory of his predecessor and 142 other church prelates who died in the past year. He remembered Francis “with great affection” and called him “a chosen soul”. “Dearly beloved Pope Francis and our brother cardinals and bishops, for whom we offer the Eucharistic Sacrifice today, have lived, witnessed, and taught a new, Paschal hope." Furthermore, Leo XIV said: "Through their ministry they—to use the language of the Book of Daniel—have ‘led many to righteousness’, guiding them on the path of the Gospel with the wisdom that comes from Christ." Leo XIV hopes on that "their spiritual encouragement" may reach us "in the silence of prayer." #newsNasmhyhiid
Rom 12:5-16b "We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us." God's grace contains all gifts, but we develop only a few of them. Let us receive all the graces and gifts of God within us. Let us welcome them and live them. Luke 14:15-24 "Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in here the poor and the crippled, the blind and the lame." Life in God is for everyone. The poorest of humanity do not know that God loves them. Let us find simple ways to help them discover God's joy within them. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Arab is ethnic, Muslim is a religion. Ishmael is not the father of the Muslims, only of the Arabs. Muslims are not descendants of Ishmael, the son of Abraham. Arabs are indeed descendants of Ishmael, but they weren't Muslims. Let us remind all the Catholics who have been deceived by the 'ecumenical' heresy that denies the Holy Trinity that the that the counterfeit Abraham in an Islamic Abraham, not a Jewish one. Muslims are not descendants of Ishmael, the son of Abraham. by Steve Ray «Today I was asked a question which I have been asked a good number of times. So, I thought I would give a simple answer here. A young man wrote and asked: “Can you please tell me whether the descendants of Ismael are Muslims?” Because I have been asked this question a good number of times I thought I would answer it simply here. No. The descendants of Ishmael are the Arabs but not all Arabs are Muslims. In the Middle East from 200-650 AD, most Arabs were Christians, not Muslims. Islam did not get started …More
I musulmani non sono discendenti di Ismaele, figlio di Abramo. Arabo è etnico, musulmano è una religione. Ismaele non è il padre dei musulmani, ma solo degli arabi. I musulmani non sono discendenti di Ismaele, figlio di Abramo. Gli arabi sono sì discendenti di Ismaele, ma non erano musulmani. Ricordiamo a tutti i cattolici che sono stati ingannati dall'eresia "ecumenica" che nega la Santissima Trinità che il falso Abramo è un Abramo islamico, non ebreo.
THE PLURALITY OF PERSONS IN GOD (FOUR ARTICLES) We are now led to consider the plurality of the persons: about which there are four points of inquiry: (1) Whether there are several persons in God? (2) How many are they? (3) What the numeral terms signify in God? (4) The community of the term “person.” 1-Whether there are several persons in God? Objection 1: It would seem that there are not several persons in God. For person is “the individual substance of a rational nature.” If then there are several persons in God, there must be several substances; which appears to be heretical. Objection 2: Further, Plurality of absolute properties does not make a distinction of persons, either in God, or in ourselves. Much less therefore is this effected by a plurality of relations. But in God there is no plurality but of relations ([255]Q[28], A[3]). Therefore there cannot be several persons in God. Objection 3: Further, Boethius says of God (De Trin. i), that “this is truly one which has no number …More
On 30 October, the German Bishops’ Conference published a guide urging Catholic schools to incorporate homosexual ideology. The title is: 'Created, Redeemed and Seduced Loved: Visibility and recognition of sexual identity diversity in schools”. In it, the bishops adopt the vocabulary and assumptions of gender ideology (queer, non-binary, cis, heteronormativity). They blaspheme that God willed homosexual lifestyles. Main problematic quotes, shortened for clarity. - The primacy of love orders all other perspectives – including sexual-moral ones. - Being loved in creation and redemption applies to the human person in all his or her diversity – including the diversity of sexual identities. - Queer persons … whose gender identity and/or sexual orientation are not covered by the spectrum of cis or heterosexual people. - Critique of heteronormativity … challenges the notion that heterosexuality is the normative ideal. - Developments in between are not pathological disorders but different …More

All illegal INVADERS must leave or be taken out by force. Foreign nationals have NO right to invade the USA. They MUST come here LEGALLY. Up until recently, the Catholic Church has ALWAYS supported this.
[St. Ambrose – IV Century AD; Augusta Treverorum, Gallia Belgica, Roman Empire/Mediolanum, Italia, Western Roman Empire – Resting Place – Crypt of basilica Sant’Ambrogio – One of the Great Four Latin Church Fathers – Doctor of the Church – made Bishop by popular acclamation] “Chapter III - The operation of the Divine power in baptism is illustrated by Old Testament types. 8. What sawest thou? Water, to be sure, but not water only ; levites ministering there, the high priest questioning and consecrating. First of all, the Apostle has taught thee that we must not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen : for the things which are seen are temporal ; but the things which are not seen are eternal. For elsewhere too thou readest that the invisible things of God from the creation of the world are comprehended by the things which are made ; his eternal power and divinity also are understood from his works. Whence also the Lord himself *says, If ye believe not …More
"Whence God, wishing to repair what was wanting, made a flood, and bade righteous Noah go up into the ark. He, as the flood abated, sent forth first a raven, which did not return ; then he sent forth a dove which, we read, returned with an olive branch. Thou seest the water, thou seest the wood, thou beholdest the dove, and dost thou doubt the mystery ?"

The Dogma Of Hell, Father Francois Xavier Schouppe, Full Catholic Audiobook.
The Dogma Of Hell, Father Francois Xavier Schouppe, Full Catholic Audiobook. ClassicCatholicAudiobooks Oct 10, 2017 Eminent French theologian Fr. F.X. Schouppe, S.J. explores the basic Catholic doctrine on Hell to purposefully awaken in the reader a profound realization of its reality and eternity of horrors. In short chapters, he has recounted numerous true stories, apparitions of the damned, and the complete Catholic teaching on Hell. Although the subject matter is frightening, the ultimate purpose of this book is not to frighten souls, but to help them avoid damnation by reminding them of the pain of an eternity spent in the absence of God. The Catechism of the Catholic Church which, when published in 1992, Pope John Paul II declared to be "a sure norm for teaching the faith",[43] defines hell as eternal fiery punishment for refusing to love God: We cannot be united with God unless we freely choose to love him. But we cannot love God if we sin gravely against him, against our neighbor …More
