Time kept moving, and I kept falling… deeper and deeper into the mire of life. But You, O Lord, You wouldn’t let me die. You, O Lord, You reached out Your hand, even when all I wanted was the fight. So don’t leave me, ever. Remember me always. Let me see You clearly in my soul, in my heart, there will always be room for You. Though I am only dust, I love You, and I need Your love— for me, for my family. It’s all they need, nothing more.
Blessed Arthur Bell: The Franciscan Martyr of England | Saint Story for Kids (December 11th Blessed Arthur Bell (1590–1643), known in the Franciscan Order as Father Francis, was an English priest who courageously served the Church during one of the most dangerous times for Catholics in England. After studying and joining the Franciscans in Spain, he returned secretly to England to help restore the Franciscan presence, teach the faith, and support hidden Catholic communities. But during the English Civil War, simply being a Catholic priest was considered a crime. Father Francis was arrested in 1643 under suspicion of being a spy. Even though the accusations were false, he openly admitted that he was a Catholic priest. Because of this, he was condemned and executed at Tyburn — the same place where many English martyrs gave their lives. In this child-friendly episode, kids will learn: Why Blessed Arthur Bell risked everything to serve God What it meant to be a priest during persecution …More
This Discovery in the Mariana Trench Will Transform Geopolitics Welcome to the deepest point on Earth, nearly 11,000 meters down. No sunlight. Crushing pressure. It’s more alien than the surface of Mars. And we know almost nothing about it. But now, one country is racing to explore these depths, and not just for science. China is deploying fleets of deep-sea robots, building underwater bases, and quietly moving to claim what lies at the bottom, before anyone else can. As the U.S. guts its ocean research programs, China is diving deeper, moving faster, and investing more aggressively than any nation in history. So what exactly is down there? And why is China so determined to get it first? Watch the video to find out. youtube.com/watch?v=6NnLfbTCM2I
Pope Saint Damasus I - December 11 Memorial 11 December Profile Raised in a pious family; his father was a priest in Rome, Italy and Damasus served for a time as deacon in his father‘s church, Saint Laurence. Priest. Assistant to PopeLiberius. Chosen 37th pope in a disputed election in which a minority chose the anti-pope Ursinus. The two reigned simultaneously in Rome which eventually led to violence between their supporters and false accusations of Damasus having committed a crime. His pontificate suffered from the rise of Arianism, and from several schisms including break-away groups in Antioch, Constantinople, Sardinia, and Rome. However, it was during Damasus’ reign that Christianity was declared the religion of the Roman state. He enforced the 370 edict of Emperor Valentinian controlling gifts to prelates, and opposed Arianism and Apollinarianism. He supported the 374 council of Rome which decreed the valid books of the Bible, and the Grand Council of …More

More pornographic texts of pro-homosexual Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, 63, have emerged. ElWanderer.com published today new quotes from different books. The disgusting texts are more of the same soft-porn style as published by Tucho in Heal Me with Your Mouth: The Art of Kissing, 1995, and in The Mystical Passion: Spirituality and Sensuality, 1998. The latter is about male and female orgasms. The newly discovered books show that the first two were not a youthful mistake, but that this erotic mindset was constant. KISS: Your mouth sings / without using words. Aged 39, Tucho wrote in his 2002 book ¿Por qué no termino de sanarme? (“Why can’t I finish healing myself?”), on page 10: “A body can make an impact if it wears the right clothes, clothes that awaken sensuality by accentuating interesting shapes, depending on the body type. The sensuality of tanned shoulders and arms is accentuated by wearing a T-shirt. Elegance is highlighted by concealing fat with a black vest and white …More
Is there a definitive cause for the collapse in religious vocations? In this Pints With Aquinas episode, host Matt Fradd asks Sister Miriam Heidland, SOLT, a pressing question: Why are there so few religious sisters today? “I think part of it is the attack on spiritual motherhood and spiritual fatherhood…really, it’s the attack on man and woman, and like, who are we?” she begins. Sister Miriam then shares a personal story and offers her opinion on why there are fewer vocations to the religious life today. “I was talking with the bishop many months ago, and he was saying that in the 1960s…there was a religious community in Wisconsin that was receiving a hundred women a year. 100 women! And they built a brand new novitiate, and then by 1972, they were receiving just four,” she says. At this point in her conversation with the bishop, Sister Miriam says, he posed the question: “Women still have the capacity to say ‘yes’ to this divine invitation. What is preventing them?” Sister Miriam …

New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has hired a former armed robber to help lead his new public safety and criminal justice team. The socialist lawmaker, 34, has tapped former rapper Mysonne Linen to serve on his transition team, the Until Freedom social justice organization has announced. Linen, 49, was a rising star in the late 1990s and had secured a lucrative recording contract with Def Jam records. He was set to appear on an album alongside LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes and Q-Tip when a jury convicted him in 1999 of robbing two taxi cab drivers in the Bronx. He served seven years in prison for the crimes, despite having maintained at the time that he was falsely accused. The Bronx native has since rebranded as a community activist and frequently promotes anti-violence initiatives and civic engagement online. Until Freedom applauded Linen's appointment, alleging it is a testament to the organization's 'expertise in gun violence prevention, legislative advocacy, and criminal justice …
Book of Isaiah 41,13-20. I am the LORD, your God, who grasp your right hand; It is I who say to you, "Fear not, I will help you." Fear not, O worm Jacob, O maggot Israel; I will help you, says the LORD; your redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. I will make of you a threshing sledge, sharp, new, and double-edged, To thresh the mountains and crush them, to make the hills like chaff. When you winnow them, the wind shall carry them off and the storm shall scatter them. But you shall rejoice in the LORD, and glory in the Holy One of Israel. The afflicted and the needy seek water in vain, their tongues are parched with thirst. I, the LORD, will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. I will open up rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the broad valleys; I will turn the desert into a marshland, and the dry ground into springs of water. I will plant in the desert the cedar, acacia, myrtle, and olive; I will set in the wasteland the cypress, together with the plane tree …More
The ordination of new bishops for the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X will be the great challenge in the coming years, German Father Franz Schmidberger, a former Superior General of the Fraternity, told Corrigenda.online on December 8: "It is being considered, but I cannot say when it will take place and how many bishops will actually be ordained." And: "The Fraternity will have to discuss this with Rome, which is an essential point, because in a normal situation, bishops cannot be consecrated without the Pope's permission."
Heute vor 50 Jahren wurde Pater Schmidberger zum Priester geweiht. Der Schwabe hat die Piusbruderschaft in Deutschland maßgeblich mit aufgebaut. Im großen Corrigenda-Interview spannt er den Bogen von der Krise in der Kirche zur Krise in der Gesellschaft. Und er zeigt einen Ausweg auf.
Mary's Immaculate Conception Reveals God's Perfect Plan The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary celebrates her conception without original sin, a unique grace bestowed upon her by God. Unlike Adam and Eve, she was conceived without sin, making her the holiest human person. Her fullness of grace, a gift from God, was present from conception and grew throughout her life. She is the only human person to live a sinless life, fulfilling God’s original intention for humanity. As the mother of Jesus, she was chosen from all eternity to be pure and perfect, free from sin even in the womb. This celebration challenges us to strive for holiness and live for God’s glory, as Mary did. God’s grace enables us to exist for His glory, a gift requiring our cooperation. Fr.
