Lebanon's name was mentioned 71 times in the Old Testament, its regions are referred to several times in the New Testament, and extra-canonical literature speaks about it in ten cases. A country where GOD raised up some of our most humble and great Saints. Why isn't trump saying a word about any of this and how Israel ignored the cease fire? He and his boyfriend are having a field day taking over the world. Killing and stealing in many countries. This is what the maga lovers want? What happened to saving Christians? bibi on one side of the world and trump the creep on the other. Working hand in hand. Trying hard to bring their antichrist into the world. Those who praise trump for all his crimes and murders will also be part of his dirty evil deeds. Better know this now or regret it later.

Sainte Marie-Madeleine was built in 1130, when Neuilly-en-Donjon was part of the diocese of Autun, which included much of what is now Burgundy. Sainte Marie-Madeleine, built in 1130 in Neuilly-en-Donjon during its time as part of the diocese of Autun, is an exceptional example of rural medieval church architecture. With its austere single nave and iconic stone reliefs, the church is particularly renowned for its portal and tympanum, which have captivated scholars for over a century with their unique iconography. Despite its historical significance, the church faced serious structural challenges due to a heavier roof added in the early twentieth century. The additional weight caused cracks in the main façade and nave walls, further exacerbated by water infiltration and freeze-thaw cycles. These issues eventually led to the main façade separating from the nave walls, threatening the stability of this Romanesque treasure. Sainte Marie-Madeleine

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 4,14-22. Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news of him spread throughout the whole region. He taught in their synagogues and was praised by all. He came to Nazareth, where he had grown up, and went according to his custom into the synagogue on the sabbath day. He stood up to read and was handed a scroll of the prophet Isaiah. He unrolled the scroll and found the passage where it was written: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord." Rolling up the scroll, he handed it back to the attendant and sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue looked intently at him. He said to them, "Today this scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing." And all spoke highly of him and were amazed at the gracious …More

Roman Catholic Cardinal - Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Cardinal Louis Raphael Sako Louis Raphaël I Cardinal Sako [Catholic-Hierarchy] The Eliya line was a traditionalist patriarchate of the Church of the East, originating from the 1552 schism, residing primarily at the Rabban Hormizd Monastery near Alqosh, Iraq, and maintaining independence from Rome while resisting Catholic overtures for centuries. This branch preserved its unique East Syriac traditions and Christology, eventually seeing most followers unite with Rome by 1830 to form the Chaldean Catholic Church, while the rival Shimun line continued as the Assyrian Church of the East The East Syriac Christian Church (Church of the East) traces its founding to the Apostles, primarily St. Thomas the Apostle, along with St. Addai (Thaddeus) and St. Mari, who brought Christianity to Mesopotamia and Persia, establishing the See of Seleucia-Ctesiphon, with traditions also linking Bartholomew. These apostles, particularly Thomas and …More
Cardinal Sako in Iraq receives threats after Christmas homily. Photo: al-monitor In Iraq, Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Cardinal Louis Raphael Sako received threats from Islamist groups after a Christmas homily in Baghdad. This was reported by Chaldean Press. The reason for the attacks on the cardinal was his homily, where he used the word "normalization", speaking about the need for reconciliation and spiritual unity in Iraqi society. However, some Islamic leaders interpreted this expression as a call for political normalization of relations with Israel, which caused a sharp reaction and legal appeals demanding Sako's arrest. After this, Sako began receiving numerous threats from Iraq and Iran. Representatives of the Chaldean Archdiocese issued a statement clarifying that the speech was exclusively about internal peace and cultural development of the country, not about international relations. The document emphasizes that the homily had no political undertones, and the word "normalization …
The Coopers' Dance (German: Schäfflertanz) The Coopers' Dance (German: Schäfflertanz) is a guild dance of coopers originally started in Munich. Since early 1800s the custom spread via journeymen and it is now a common tradition over the Old Bavaria region. The dance was supposed to be held every seven years. History Early documented cases of Schäfflertanz are dated by 1702 when the Münich magistrate approved the performance of the dance as a well-established tradition. However, for a long time the date 1517 was prevalent in the literature, following the 1830 book Der Schäffler-tanz in Münchhen by Anton Baumgartner [Wikidata], who originated the discredited legend that the tradition started after the 1517 plague, to revive the spirits of the people, "to lure them out of their houses", although other authors tried to suggest other dates. But there are no records in chronicles about any plague in Münich at this period of time. Still, the 500th anniversary was celebrated in 2017. …More

"The Stranger" is a song by Gord Downie that makes up his multimedia work titled, The Secret Path which tells the very sad story of Indigenous 12-year-old boy Chanie Wenjak. The work is supported by a novel and a film. The story is that Chanie run away from a Canadian residential school. It was to get away from the disrespect and physical abuse. So, he decided to walk home, a 600 kilometre journey from where the school was located in Kenora, Ontario. The boy never made it because he died of hunger and the cold weather. His body was found near a railroad track on October 7, 1966. The song aims to point out the suffering, loneliness and fear experienced by the children who attended residential schools.

In May 2020, there was also the claim that 215 graves were found near the Kamloops Indian Residential School. Note: no actual graves have been found. The only problem with …
I’m from the generation that.... Waited years for a landline phone—and when it was finally installed, it felt like a celebration for the whole apartment building. I’m from the generation that walked to school alone in the morning, a house key hanging on a string around the neck, and came home at dusk without anyone panicking. I’m from the generation that wasn’t forced to do homework—because friends were already waiting outside with a ball, a bike, or a plan for the next adventure. I’m from the generation that climbed garage roofs and trees, and no one called the police or child services over it. I’m from the generation that built toy “machines” out of sticks and raced bikes like it was the Tour de France. I’m from the generation that experienced first crushes at school dances, under dim lights, cheesy music, and strings of colored bulbs. I’m from the generation that “heartless” parents calmly sent off to two-week summer camps or to grandma’s house—no phones, no GPS, no constant …More
First Letter of John 4,19-21.5,1-4. Beloved, we love God because he first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," but hates his brother, he is a liar; for whoever does not love a brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. This is the commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother. Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is begotten by God, and everyone who loves the father loves (also) the one begotten by him. In this way we know that we love the children of God when we love God and obey his commandments. For the love of God is this, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome, for whoever is begotten by God conquers the world. And the victory that conquers the world is our faith. Psalms 72(71),1-2.14.15bc.17. O God, with your judgment endow the king, and with your justice, the king's son; He shall govern your people with justice and your afflicted ones with judgment. From fraud and violence he shall redeem …More
