Excert of “Legionario”, May, 23th 1943 (*) During the month of May —the month of Mary— we feel a special protection of Our Lady that extends to all the faithful; we feel a special joy that shines and illuminates our hearts expressing the universal certainty of Catholics that the indispensable patronage of our heavenly mother becomes even more tender, more loving and more full of visible mercy and exorable condescendence during her month of May. Even after the month of May passes, a remnant of this remains— if we have profited from those thirty— one days especially consecrated to Our Lady. We are left with an increased devotion, a keener confidence and, so to speak, such an increased intimacy with Our Lady that in all the vicissitudes of life we will know how to petition her with respectful insistence, hope in her with invincible confidence and thank her with humble tenderness for all the good she does us. Our Lady is the Queen of Heaven and Earth and, at the same time, our mother. We …More
Acts 6:1-7 "The apostles chose seven men filled with the Spirit." The more people there are to proclaim the joy of being children of God, the more joy will spread to every heart. 1 Peter 2:4-9 "You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood." This kingship is the kingship of God. Jesus Christ is the King, and his Kingdom is the Love of God. Let us discover the joy of the child within us and welcome God's Love into the Kingdom. John 14:1-12 Thomas said to Jesus, "Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?" Eternal life is found in the Heart of Christ, in the Heart of God. God's Love is eternal life, and his Love is present right now. Let us fully embrace God's love. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Wounded Art: Bishop Hermann Glettler of Innsbruck, Austria, has encircled a loaned statue of the Sacred Heart from Vienna’s Votive Church with string lights. Entitled “Wounded Light”, the result is on display at an exhibition in the Kunsthaus Mürzzuschlag from 25 April to 14 June 2026. The bishop's Instagram post reads: “On the polished surface of the figure are auratic cones of light, sites of inflammation, and light-shy wounds.” On Wednesday, Pope Leo XIV received Bishop Glettler after the general audience.

[Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich; XVIII-XIX Century; born: 8 September 1774 Flamschen, Coesfeld, Prince-Bishopric of Münster, Holy Roman Empire/ died: 9 February 1824 (aged 49), Dülmen, Kingdom of Prussia, German Confederation; mystic, Marian visionary and stigmatist; Roman Catholic Augustinian canoness] Meditation III ~ Arrangements for eating the Paschal Lamb. When the disciples had spoken to Heli of Hebron, the latter went back into the house by the court, but they turned to the right, and hastened down the north side of the hill, through Sion. They passed over a bridge, and walking along a road covered with brambles, reached the other side of the ravine, which was in front of the Temple, and of the row of houses which were to the south of that building. There stood the house of the aged Simeon, who died in the Temple after the presentation of our Lord; and his sons, some of whom were disciples of Jesus in secret, were actually living there. The Apostles spoke to one of them, a tall …More
On 28 April, Don Nicola Bux, a liturgist close to Benedict XVI, commented on MessaInLatino.it regarding Leo XIV’s audience for Mrs Sarah Mullaly, who holds the title and costume of Archbishop of Canterbury. His text: "There is a contradiction between the many Anglican pastors who have become Catholic priests and been incardinated into the ordinariates established by Benedict XVI, and the Pope’s message of good wishes delivered by Cardinal Koch to Sarah Mullaly, who is not a bishop because she is a woman and is not the Primate of Canterbury, as two-thirds of the Anglican Communion does not recognise her as such.' What about the secretary of the Dicastery for Promoting Christian Unity, Monsignor Flavio Pace, who makes the sign of the cross while the Anglican bishop' imparts a blessing in the Clementine Chapel at the tomb of St Peter? Did Koch and Pace not realise the falsity of their actions? Whether out of ignorance or bad faith, they scandalise and confuse many Catholics and require …More
There is not even the possibility of ignorance that excuses their betrayal, since this implies that they lack the necessary qualifications for the office they usurp. Prevost, Tagle, Koch, and Flavio Pace and the other minions have committed a sin of malice. They are apostates and are not in communion with the Catholic Church, as established by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith itself— under the pontificate of John Paul II—wherein it is specified that priests take an oath of profession of faith, and where it is clearly taught that Anglican orders are invalid and null. The Church has indicated that this heretical sect lacks apostolic succession. Furthermore, that same decree states: "15 Whoever denies these truths would be in a position of rejecting a truth of Catholic doctrine 16 and would therefore no longer be in full communion with the Catholic Church." Pope Leo XIII’s 1896, Apostolicae Curae: Anglican orders are “absolutely null and utterly void”
Cardinal DiNardo, of Galveston-Houston, was born in 1949. He retired and was replaced by his coadjutor, named by Francis, in 2025. Cardinal Dolan, of New York, was born in 1950. He was replaced by Leo XIV very shortly after turning 75, in 2025. There is one Cardinal who is older than both of them, and who is still in charge. And not just any cardinal: a horrible administrator, a lousy shepherd, and an ideological nightmare, who, though a native of Nebraska, has been the Archbishop of the pope's own birthplace: Chicago. A formerly exemplary American Catholic town, whose diocese is falling apart.
The historic Église Saint-Cyriaque church in Montenach, France, was just set on fire. Survived both world wars but couldn’t survive diversity.
L’église Saint-Cyriaque de Montenach a été gravement endommagée par un incendie le 30 avril 2026. Le feu, probablement parti d’une zone végétalisée voisine, s’est propagé à la toiture sous l’effet du vent, détruisant une grande partie de la charpente et provoquant l’effondrement partiel du clocher. Aucun blessé n’est à déplorer. Les causes exactes restent à déterminer.

Have you ever paused to look at the wrinkles on your mother’s face and felt a sudden lump in your throat, knowing that time spares no one? In your relationship with your parents, don’t fall into the petty trap of keeping score. Avoid thinking bitterly: “Why should I be the one to step up when my brother Alejandro doesn’t lift a finger?” or “If they don’t help, why should all the burden fall on me?” Always remember this: caring for your aging parents is not a group school project where you wait for everyone to participate before starting. It is an act of purely individual love. Your devotion and loyalty should not be conditioned by what anyone else is doing. Being there for them—crossing the threshold of their home—matters deeply, even if you are the only one who does it. And it’s almost never about money. In the end, the most valuable things you can offer them are not found in a bank account. They are found in: Your physical presence. Sitting down to have breakfast with them, maybe …More
05/02/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. A title like that fits practically any topic that might come to mind. The carbon tax, the fight against the economic decline caused by the authorities’ “rescue measures” in the area of migration, global warming, which is currently heading in a direction that threatens the planet with apocalyptic cold waves. One could go on and on with this list. This whole circus boils down to one thing: governments are serving us, on a silver platter, a solution to problems that would never have arisen in the first place without the active involvement of these very governments. It’s as simple as building a flail. A flail is an agricultural hand tool used for threshing, the process of separating grains from their husks. It can also be used for military purposes being made in the same way as a threshing-flail but much stronger and furnished with iron spikes. Source. Yes, it’s simple—but not for everyone. I still come across people who are firmly convinced …
From Diocese of Corpus Christi At the age of 102, Bishop René Henry Gracida passed away on the morning of May 1, 2026. Bishop Mario Avilés wrote, “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bishop Emeritus René Henry Gracida. He served as the fifth Bishop of the Diocese of Corpus Christi from 1983 until 1997. We are deeply grateful for his faithful service as our shepherd for 14 years.” Previously, he was appointed Bishop of the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee in Florida (1975–1983) and as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Miami in Florida (1971–1975). Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on June 9, 1923, Gracida was the second child of Enrique J. Gracida Carrizosa, a Mexican architect and engineer, and Mathilde Derbes, a fifth-generation French American Cajun. His great uncle was a vicar general of a diocese in Mexico. As a teenager, Gracida was fascinated by the Jesuit martyrs portrayed in James Fenimore Cooper’s novel The Last of the Mohicans. During World War …More
