The Catholic parish of Guissona, a small town in the province of Lleida in Catalonia, Spain, has introduces passages from the Quran into its Epiphany celebration on January 5, during a traditional procession, reports InfoVaticana.com. The parish wrote on its Instagram account that the initiative forms part of what it described as an “inclusive process” developed over the past two years. This process takes into account “the religion of the different kings and pages” participating in the celebration. During the ceremony, passages from the Quran were read alongside the Gospels. The parish, which belongs to the Catholic Diocese of Urgell, defended the decision as a way of conveying a shared “message of peace” among people of different faiths. Furthermore, the kissing of the statue of the Baby Jesus was omitted. The parish explained that such a gesture was considered inappropriate for Muslims. #newsIeavpfurgw

Jared Kushner just presented a Gaza “master plan” at Trump’s new “Board of Peace” event this morning. Slides literally included “New Gaza” and “New Rafah.” Let that sink in. A private citizen. No office. No mandate. No accountability.

When the Titanic sank, one of the passengers on board was John Jacob Astor IV — one of the richest men in America at the time. He had enough money in the bank to build thirty Titanics. Yet when faced with death, he chose what he believed was morally right and gave up his spot in a lifeboat to two terrified children. Another passenger, Isidor Straus — co-owner of the Macy’s department store empire — made a similar choice. “I will not get into a lifeboat before other men,” he said. His wife, Ida, was offered a seat. She declined and insisted it be given to their young maid, Ellen Bird. Ida chose to stay with her husband and spend her final moments beside him. These wealthy people chose to let go of their wealth — and even their lives — rather than betray their convictions. Their decisions revealed something remarkable about human dignity and the moral light that civilization still carries. Years later, Archimandrite Tikhon Shevkunov reflected on something he witnessed many times while …More

In this regard, I would encourage you, especially the young people, to continue striving to ensure that life is respected in all …
Autopsy finds Cuban immigrant in ICE custody died of homicide due to asphyxia WASHINGTON (AP) — A Cuban migrant held in solitary confinement at an immigration detention facility in Texas died after guards held him down and he stopped breathing, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday that ruled the death a homicide. Geraldo Lunas Campos died Jan. 3 following an altercation with guards. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the 55-year-old father of four was attempting suicide and the staff tried to save him. But a witness told The Associated Press last week that Lunas Campos was handcuffed as at least five guards held him down and one put an arm around his neck and squeezed until he was unconscious. His death was one of at least three reported in little more than a month at Camp East Montana, a sprawling tent facility in the desert on the grounds of Fort Bliss, an Army base. The autopsy report by the El Paso County Medical Examiner’s Office found Lunas Campos' body …More

Canadian woman was euthanized 'against her will' after husband was fed-up with caring for her An elderly woman was euthanized within hours of her husband claiming she changed her mind after insisting she wanted to live. Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying laws allow patients to request a painless death if an assessor agrees their terminal condition meets certain requirements. Patients often wait weeks, but it can happen the same day the application is lodged if judged to be medically urgent by a MAiD provider. But a report by the Ontario MAiD Death Review Committee raised concerns that safeguards were being eroded that led to questionable deaths. One case study was that of a woman in her 80s referred to as 'Mrs B' who had complications after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. She went into severe decline and opted for palliative care, and was sent home from hospital with palliative support with her husband caring for her. But as her condition got worse, her elderly husband struggled …
Skip to content Six people were stabbed during a Kurdish demonstration near Opera Square in Antwerp, Belgium, on Thursday night, according to Antwerp-based Dutch-language newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws. Four of the injured were found at Opera Square itself, Het Laatste Nieuws reported, while two others were discovered on nearby streets before being evacuated to the hospital for medical treatement. “Two of the victims are in critical condition,” Antwerp Police Spokesperson Wouter Bruyns was quoted as saying, noting that four suspects had been arrested. The demonstration was organized by the Belgian Kurdistan Communities Democratic Council (NAV-BEL) in support of Kurds in Syria‘s Rojava region, who, according to Het Laatste Nieuws, called the attack “terror-motivated” in a late Thursday statement. “This is no different from jihadists who specifically attack civilians in the streets, at Christmas markets, or other public places. The Belgian government must acknowledge that Kurds, …
01/23/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. The job of journalists is to inform—not to stir up fears. But what should we do when we are dealing with information that in itself triggers fears? It is not a good idea to ignore such news. That turns journalism into a one-sided game with a forced happy ending. Ken Jebsen, a German independent journalist from an Iranian family, conducted an interview with artificial intelligence (AI) last August and, with his questions, elicited statements that its developers themselves would never have expected, even in their worst nightmares. The term “psychological sabotage” appeared in the following, extremely interesting film. A good article describing this “discussion” between a human and a computer program called KI Chat- “KAA I” appeared yesterday on the fassadenkratzer.de platform: An AI reveals itself: a hidden control instrument of humanity and society.Source. AI: Officially, we say we want to help humanity reach its potential. But what does …
How serious is pride? Pride, the Mother and Queen of the Vices Saint Thomas is clear in defining the overarching vice or inspirer of all the seven capital vices. He defines it first as a disordered love for personal excellence in excess of right reason. Then, as a special sin, pride leads to a lack of subjection to God’s rule, or commandments, and the undue estimation of one’s abilities, thereby leading a person to raise himself above God’s providential design for him. Some of Sacred Scripture’s most important warnings deal with pride. I will list a few. Also in the link I provided. I am going to start with Mary's Canticle inspired by The Holy Ghost. He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble. The proud man overestimates himself, and believes himself the source of his own excellence. The virtue of humility, which disposes us to acknowledge our limitations, …More
Good read here. "Those tempted to lust should remember that man was made to the image and likeness of God." This is key. St. Theresa of Avila says that the recognition of a temptation as a temptation is progress in the spiritual life. With this a Catholic can then block it with the union that occurs at Holy Communion. Each time. Day by day. Our Lord will then eventually have you completely in His Holy Possession, while preserving and even enhancing the will.
Nuestra Señora de la Caridad - January 22nd, 2026 | No Greater Delight No Greater Delight is a daily Marian podcast meant to start the day with a Marian touch. After examining the Marian feasts celebrated throughout the world on a given day, Fr. Nate offers a brief reflection to help make our love for Our Lady concrete in daily living. The title "No Greater Delight" is inspired by a homily of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, wherein he expresses his joy in preaching about the Virgin Mother, even though he acknowledges the challenge of adequately praising her.

A man once believed retirement was the finish line. Only later did he realize it was the start of a completely different battle. For forty years he repeated the same sentence whenever he felt exhausted: “Just hold on a little longer. You’ll rest when you retire.” He pictured fishing. He pictured sleeping in. He pictured a life without bosses, deadlines, or alarm clocks. At 65, he signed the papers. He got a cake, a commemorative watch, a round of handshakes, and warm wishes about “finally enjoying life.” On the drive home, he smiled — it felt like something bright and easy was about to begin. The honeymoon phase lasted exactly one month. The first pension check snapped him back to reality. The income was fixed. Prices for food weren’t. Prices for medication weren’t. Utilities definitely weren’t. He sat at the kitchen table, doing math on scraps of paper — adding, erasing, and adding again — and the numbers still refused to agree. To cover groceries and prescriptions, he had to …More
