Today is the 120th anniversary of the prodigies witnessed at Saint Gabriel's College when Our Lady came to support her children during a time of severe persecution. April 20, 1906, Our Lady of Quito, Queen of Equador, pray for us.

Star Wars-themed "Liturgy" in German church: Rev Gerd Neumeier from the Archdiocese of Bamberg, Germany, held a Star Wars-themed church service. He linked the saga’s themes of good versus evil to Christian teachings. The church featured stormtroopers, lightsaber battles, and a “May God’s force be with you” projection. Neumeier dressed as Obi-Wan Kenobi (“Obi-Wan KeNeumeier”), while the service combined adapted prayers, readings, and film music. The priest later said, he felt the service resonated with the congregation.

Mit "Macht": Erzbistum Bamberg feiert Star Wars-Gottesdienst

"Die Dunkelheit ist mächtig. Sie kennt verschiedene Formen: Einsamkeit, Egoismus, Ausgrenzung, Ablehnung. Denkst du wirklich, ein winziger Funke göttlicher Macht vermag es, das endlose Reich der Schatten und Finsternis zu bezwingen?", fragt Darth Vader den Jedi Gabriel. Sie liefern sich mitten in der Kirche der Burg Feuerstein einen Lichtschwertkampf - ein Gottesdienst der etwas anderen Art.

Mit Star Wars den Weg zum christlichen Glauben finden
Diözesanjugendpfarrer Gerd Richard Neumeier hatte die Idee zum Star Wars-Gottesdienst. "In den Star-Wars-Filmen geht es um Gut und Böse, um Licht und Dunkel – also um all die Themen, die im Christentum, in der Bibel und im Leben aufleuchten“, beschreibt er den Zusammenhang zwischen Star Wars und dem christlichen Glauben. Durch den neuen Gottesdienst sollen kirchenferne Menschen, vor allem aber Jugendliche in Kontakt mit dem christlichen Glauben kommen. Und das klappt bei …

"Eternal Wisdom.--It is as impossible as to compress the heavens together and enclose them in a nut shell. Such persons array themselves in fair words, they build upon the wind, and construct upon the rainbow. How may the eternal abide with the temporal, when even one temporal thing neither can nor will endure another? He but deceives himself who thinks he can lodge the King of kings in a common inn, or thrust Him into the mean dwelling of a servant. In entire seclusion from all creatures must he keep himself who is desirous of receiving his guest as he ought.”

‘A Little Book of Eternal Wisdom’ by Blessed Henry Suso; ‘How Deceitful the Love of This World is’ – Chapter VI; pages 25-26

[Blessed Henry Suso; XIII-XIV Century AD; Uberlingen, Holy Roman Empire/Ulm, Holy Roman Empire; (aged 70); Religious, Priest; Mystic; German Dominican Friar]
“ Chapter VI ~ How Deceitful the Love of This World is, And How Amiable God Is
The Servant.--Sweetest God,
if I leave Thee but a little I am like a young roe which has strayed from its dam, and is pursued by the hunter, and runs wildly about, until it escapes back to its cover. Lord, I flee, I run to Thee with ardent desire, like a stag to the living waters. Lord, one little hour without Thee is a whole year; to be estranged one day from Thee is as much as a thousand years to a loving heart. Therefore, Thou branch of salvation, Thou bush of May, Thou red blooming rose-tree, open and spread out the green branches of Thy divine nature. Lord, Thy countenance is so full of graciousness, Thy mouth so full of living words, Thy whole carriage such a pure mirror of all discipline and meekness! O Thou aspect of graciousness to all the saints …More

CLEVELAND -- A Republican judge for a county juvenile court is challenging the voter‑approved reproductive rights amendment in the Ohio Supreme Court, arguing that it is being interpreted in a way that eliminates Ohio’s parental consent and judicial bypass requirements for minors seeking abortions.
Trumbull County Court of Common Pleas Domestic Relations and Juvenile Division Judge David Engler filed suit in the Ohio Supreme Court this week, contending that the amendment conflicts with Article IV of the Ohio Constitution, which establishes the authority and jurisdiction of the state’s courts.
Engler argues that the amendment, approved by voters in November 2023, has infringed upon his jurisdiction as a juvenile court judge …

This is INSANE!! This guy defended his girlfriend from a Somali who was trying to sexually assault her. The Somali stabbed him, and he tried to defend himself, ending up in the hospital. Scottish justice pursued him with assault charges and convicted him, ruining his criminal record, while the Somali was free and didn’t even show up.

New Report Reveals that Most Catholics Find Peace in Confession and 83% Desire the Sacrament for God's Mercy and Forgiveness

New Report Reveals that Most Catholics Find Peace in Confession and 83% Desire the Sacrament for God's Mercy and Forgiveness
The 2026 Catholic Pulse Report: The Confession Study, conducted by Vinea Research Group, was released in March 2026. The report challenges the idea that the Sacrament of Reconciliation is in "irreversible decline" and instead suggests that many Catholics are open to returning to the practice if barriers related to personal discomfort and habit are addressed.

Fides Et Ratio

What stood out in this report is not a vague trend line but something concrete and measurable. Confession is increasing.
In a time when the common narrative says Catholics are disengaged, this points in the opposite direction. People are returning to the sacrament that requires honesty, examination of conscience, and a real encounter with mercy.

Bishop Pierre Roy Answers Questions Regarding an Imperfect General Council
"When there is no true successor of Saint Peter, the election of a Supreme Pontiff remains an important duty incumbent upon the Church. When the Church finds Herself without a Pope, as happens upon the death of the Pontiff, She is bound to provide Herself with another; that is to say, Her members must act to ensure that the Holy See is once again occupied. This shows how important it is for the Church to have a visible head, the true principle of unity."

Acts 6:8-15
“They could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit with which Stephen spoke.”
When a person allows himself to be taught by the Holy Spirit, his language becomes pure, simple, and realistic.
John 6:22-29
“Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life.”
Jesus is speaking of the reality of heaven. The food of heaven, which is also found in the Eucharist, is the Love of God; his joy and his peace.

Sweden's current Minister for Education and Integration was born into a Muslim family, with her father being a former Hamas member in Palestine and her mother a Lebanese Shia Muslim. She told the Swedes she is not Muslim, and the Swedes actually believed her! After taking office, she forcefully promoted Islamic studies courses, making them the highest-credit elective in all Swedish schools. She demanded that all Swedish students must learn about Islam, saying Sweden needs Islam and only Islam can save Sweden.

NO COFFEE! US armed forces are running out of food as the planned four-day plan to “take out Iran” enters its seventh week. Vegetables, fruit, and all fresh produce has gone – and tiny meals are being served on empty meal trays on warships, USA Today reported. And there’s no coffee – something many Americans consider more important than food. . 'MYSTERY MEAT' One dinner on the USS Abraham Lincoln this week was boiled carrots and two pieces of “mystery meat”, while sailors on the USS Tripoli had a scoop of shredded meat and a tortilla as a meal. Frantic family members have been trying to mail food to troops. “But mail delivery to military ZIP codes across the Middle East has been indefinitely suspended,” the newspaper reported. The warships have no internet service, but when a pocket of connectivity opened up, one parent, Dan F, got updates. “After his daughter told him the coffee machine on board had broken down, Dan said he stopped drinking coffee in …More

This year’s launch of the much-hyped “space mission” Artemis II on April 1 is hardly any different from the movies filmed in the Nevada desert about the first human landing on… that very same desert. Similar mistakes, similar lies.
NASA leadership not only lies for a specific reason (e.g., greed), but also does so for no apparent reason and often believes its own fabricated stories. This is how mythomania—the condition of pathological lying—can be described.
Leaving Earth’s orbit: The crew of the Artemis II mission is already on its way to the Moon.
Some people’s hair stands on end—but not everyone’s. The bald astronaut doesn’t have that problem.
A good way to get started with the theme of the new space fairy tale is a video on YouTube.
