The Basilica of Saint Nicholas in Bari stands as one of Christianity’s most important places of Catholic–Orthodox encounter. Since the relics of Saint Nicholas were brought from Myra in 1087, the basilica has welcomed pilgrims from every nation—becoming a living bridge between East and West. In this report, Fr. Emmanuel Albano, Coordinator of the Saint Nicholas Ecumenical Institute, explains why Saint Nicholas is often called the saint of interreligious dialogue. Within the same sacred space, Catholic Mass and the Orthodox Divine Liturgy are celebrated—sometimes at the very same altar—offering a powerful sign of unity rooted in prayer rather than uniformity.In this report, Fr.

The Latter Times & the Judgment of Nations Margaret C. Galitzin --- Recently I came across a small book titled The Latter Times [Los Ultimos Tiempos] by a Spanish Doctor of Sacred Scripture, Fr. Benjamin Sanchez, born in 1905. (1) This short work, which examines public and private prophecies about the Latter Times, is quite interesting and significant for our days. This is particularly so because many Catholics, overwhelmed by the apostasy and sin of our days, are wrongly thinking that we are in the End Times that will immediately precede the Last Judgment. --- A renewed world, not the latter times --- A Great Chastisement will come over the earth, Zacharias foresees, where only a third part will be left. These, however, will be tried and purified and will call on the name of the Lord: --- “And there shall be in all the earth, saith the Lord, two parts in it shall be scattered and shall perish: but the third part shall be left therein. --- “And I will bring the third part through the …More
Many Church approved mystics talked about this. The available graces have to be used first. Matthew 24:14 states: "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and THEN the end will come."

A 25-year-old South Sudanese migrant killed an 18-year-old woman in a fatal subway attack in Hamburg on Thursday evening, after seizing her and pulling her with him into the track bed in front of an incoming train. Both the victim and the perpetrator died at the scene. German police are investigating the case as a suspected homicide. The incident occurred around 10 p.m. at Wandsbek Markt subway station. According to police, the victim and the perpetrator were independently present on the platform and did not appear to know each other. Investigators said the man suddenly approached the woman, seized her, and pulled her with him into the track bed as a train was entering the station. The motive remains unclear. The German Red Cross provided psychological support to witnesses, while subway traffic on line U1 was suspended overnight and only resumed the following morning. Authorities later confirmed that the perpetrator was a 25-year-old man from South Sudan who had entered Germany in mid …

nytimes.com/…gs/birkenstock-steps-into-high- … The popular sandal company is collaborating with the brand Danielle Frankel to create a collection using lustrous fabrics and materials. Birkenstocks are known for their functionality, not necessarily for having a formal look. But some brides have said they would wear the orthopedic-rooted sandals down the aisle — if only they were reworked to have a distinctly bridal appearance. In 2023, Danielle Frankel Hirsch, a popular designer for fashionable brides, asked herself, “What if Birkenstock was a bridal shoe? What does that look like?” She sketched dozens of designs, keeping in mind the many faithful Birkenstock customers who want to be comfortable on their wedding day and still feel stylish. As lifelong fans of Birkenstock, Ms. Frankel Hirsch, who founded the bridal brand Danielle Frankel in 2017, and her husband, Joshua Hirsch, the chief executive of the company, took a particular interest in this concept. He owns seven pairs; she owns …More
Pro-homosexual Cardinal José Cobo recently held an off-the-record meeting with select journalists about the conflict surrounding the Valle de los Caídos (Cuelgamuros). Although excluded from the meeting, the Catholic outlet Infovaticana obtained the full audio and published excerpts on January 30. In the recording, Cardinal Cobo downplays the Valley’s importance to Madrid’s Church life and admits his archdiocese has no jurisdiction over the pontifical monastery. He describes internal Church discussions about the possible expulsion of the Benedictines and the government’s plan to “resignify” the site. Cardinal Cobo recounts a meeting with Church leaders and Benedictine prior Santiago Cantera, where they split the issue into two tracks: one concerning the monks, the other the government’s political project. He claims his aim was to prevent expulsion, but admits telling the Benedictines that if they were not removed, they would have to undergo a “process of conversion.” According to …More
I visited this enormous and edifying shrine twice. Removing monks or nuns out of monasteries and convents is NOT a positive move unless some gave sin and scandal has occurred.
Fr. Victor Mroz OFM Cap. -Part II: Exile After the destruction of Hanaczow from hands of Ukrainians and Germans – as monstrous as absurd it was considering the fast approaching Soviets – Fr. Wiktor followed thousands of Polish Catholic running westward. In the summer of 1944, putting away his illusions regarding AK (Home Army) that did not cope in the face of “liberators” from the East he became involved with NSZ (National Armed Forces) as a chaplain of one of regiments in the region of Sandomierz (town on the Vistula river) and in the autumn of the same year as the chaplain of the Holy Cross Brigade (Holy Cross is the name of the ancient Polish monastery on the top of the mountain near Kielce, with the True Cross relics, endorsed by Polish kings, e.g. Ladislav Jagiello, the husband of St. Hedwig the Queen, from which the whole region took name; the Brigade was thus named after the region not after the monastery). NSZ was in fact the most realistic thinking Polish underground organization …More

Modena opens tomb of St. Geminianus for annual veneration | Shalom World News On January 25, the tomb of Saint Geminianus, patron saint of Modena, Italy, was solemnly opened in the crypt of Modena Cathedral, allowing the faithful to venerate his relics in the days leading up to his feast on January 31. The annual ritual draws thousands of pilgrims and residents alike, blending faith, tradition, civic identity, and devotion in one of northern Italy’s most enduring expressions of local spirituality. The Modenese have celebrated St. Geminianus for more than a millennium, honoring the 4th-century bishop whose relics rest beneath the cathedral, a Romanesque masterpiece and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in 1099 to house the saint’s burial site, the Modena Cathedral (Duomo di Modena) remains the religious heart of the city. Its crypt contains the late 4th-century urn with Geminianus’ bones, traditionally dressed in episcopal garments and displayed for veneration at this time each year. …More
The Vatican is preparing an unprecedented bistro on the large terrace above St Peter’s Basilica. The project would reuse former storage rooms once used by the Sampietrini, the basilica’s maintenance staff. According to LaSicilia.it, furniture and fittings have already been delivered, suggesting the work is well advanced. A small bar already operates on the terrace, and the planned bistro would expand this service as part of the basilica’s gradual musealization.
In Vaticano da tempo si sta silenziosamente lavorando alla realizzazione del primo ristorante nel suo genere perché progettato per funzionare nel cuore della principale basilica patriarcale, collocato proprio sul grande terrazzamento che sovrasta San Pietro.

Old video I was able to save before it was taken down. I can't say if it was by the owners of this yt channel or yt. Before yt prevented us from downloads I was able to save this one, right before they put the law into place. This was the only video I could find on their channel which didn't mention Medjurogje or any other fake seer. This video takes these facts from two people and a book written by Dimitry Adamsky. Two clips added are from Inessa S before yt took down her channel several months ago.

A Quiet Teen, an Extraordinary Faith | The Story of Joe Wilson | SG News Joe Wilson was an ordinary Scottish teenager with an extraordinary love for God. Born in 1994 and raised in Carfin, Scotland, Joe lived a life deeply rooted in prayer, humility, and devotion to Christ. Known for spending time at Carfin Grotto and recording spiritual reflections in his personal journals, Joe believed that staying close to God was the most important purpose of life. Just days after his 17th birthday, Joe died suddenly in 2011 due to Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a rare congenital heart condition.

Danny argues that President Trump has effectively decided to take the United States to war with Iran, pointing to a Truth Social post in which Trump announces a “massive armada” led by the USS Abraham Lincoln heading toward Iran and threatens far greater destruction if Iran does not agree to a deal banning nuclear weapons. The speaker stresses that this is not symbolic posturing but a serious military buildup with extensive naval and regional air power, comparable in scale to major past conflicts. They contend that this move lacks legal and constitutional justification: Congress has not declared war, there is no specific authorization, and the U.S. has not been attacked. According to the speaker, this makes the decision a unilateral presidential action that puts U.S. troops at risk without a clear national security necessity or articulated rationale. The speaker questions the end goal, arguing there is no credible diplomatic path because the terms reportedly demanded of Iran—ending …More
