His feast day is celebrated on December 4. He is known for many amazing things: Defending the use of holy images (icons) when others wanted to destroy them Writing beautiful hymns and prayers used in the Church Explaining the Catholic faith clearly so everyone could understand Living a peaceful, prayerful life as a monk John lived during a time when the emperor wanted all religious images destroyed. But John boldly defended the tradition, teaching that images help us love and remember Jesus, Mary, and the saints. Because of this, he is honoured as a great Doctor of the Church — a teacher whose writings help us understand God. He is also the patron saint of pharmacists, icon painters, and theology students, because of his love for …More
Dec 5 "Listen to these words of mine and act on them” Here's today's Mass reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew 7:21, 24‑27: Jesus said to his disciples: “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. “Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock. And everyone who listens to these words of mine but does not act on them will be like a fool who built his house on sand. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. And it collapsed and was completely ruined.” The Gospel of the Lord.

THE TRUTH about THE BIBLE The uncorrupt Catholic Bible safeguards 73 books which were received from The HOLY SPIRIT in the ONE and ONLY TRUE CHURCH of GOD which is the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC CHURCH which was the only Church instituted by JESUS CHRIST. As GOD has revealed that HIS CHURCH alone would teach the TRUTH necessary for HIS FAITHFUL PEOPLE who choose to follow GOD in this earthly life outside of which there is no salvation. The words of ALMIGHTY GOD in the Sacred Scriptures explain the necessity of His ONLY True Church as follows- ''But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written.'' -Gospel of Saint John 21:25 [Douay Rheims uncorrupted BIBLE] The Protestant false [King James] so called “bible” and their heretical false beliefs of “bible only” / “ private interpretation” are NOT blessed by GOD because GOD'S WORDS have been corrupted …More
This is why our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST instituted HIS ONE and ONLY TRUE CHURCH, HIS CATHOLIC CHURCH. JESUS INSTITUTED HIS ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC and APOSTOLIC CHURCH with the ONLY succession from JESUS to HIS APOSTLES unto the end of time to combat against ALL the FALSE CHURCHES such as the 50,000 protestant churches, such as the false church of heretics as is the church of those whose corrupted bibles are also cursed by GOD - About the Scofield and other corrupted Protestant bibles which are anathema, the uncorrupted Douay Rheims CATHOLIC BIBLE is now purposely corrupted by the enemies of ALMIGHTY GOD.

Archbishop Georg Gänswein, the Apostolic Nuncio to the Baltic States, has renewed his call for a peaceful approach to the Roman Rite. In a press release, the Swiss broadcaster K-TV announced that the full interview will air on Sunday. In it, Archbishop Gänswein comments on Pope Francis’ 2021 motu proprio Traditionis custodes. He argued that the Church should once again consider the pastoral approach adopted by Pope Benedict XVI in 'Summorum Pontificum': "I consider Pope Benedict’s wise regulation to be the right path — and this path should be continued without burdens or restrictions," said Monsignor Gänswein. He added that he hopes Pope Francis will continue the pacification of this thorny issue. Archbishop Gänswein also expressed his personal desire to see a formal beatification process opened for the late Pope Benedict XVI. #newsNyyjolwslt
Archbishop Gänswein made those statements in January 2023. I wonder if hestill feels the same way today. Perhaps he does, but "flexibility" has always been one of the strong suits of the Conciliarists.
“I consider Pope Benedict’s wise regulation to be the right path — and this path should be continued without burdens, without restrictions,” Gänswein said. He added that he hopes Pope Leo XIV will “continue the pacification of this thorny issue”
Nuestra Señora de los Reyes - December 4th, 2025 | 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. Mary's greatness is beyond words. 0:00 Feasts of Mary Today 02:57 True Devotion to Mary WhatsApp Channel: Catholic Voice | WhatsApp Channel Links: catholicvoice | Instagram, Facebook | Linktree

This continued push for legislative fake human rights is actually an attack on Christians in Canada and the agenda against the entire West. We need to wake up.
Bishop Erik Varden: chastity is integrity, "to harmonize my carnal desires towards life in Christ" Convert of Lutheranism and Norwegian traps, one of his last books is about the virtue of chastity. Monsignor Erik Varden, OCS [Cistercian Order of the Cistercian Order of the Stense Of Observance] is bishop of Trondheim, Norway. Baptized in the Lutheran Church, which in Norway was the official Church until 2012, I grew up in a family without a very explicit Christian practice. My religious search began at the age of 14 or 15, caused by an inner thirst, fueled by literature and music. I was 17 years old when I first visited a monastery, a little by chance. Monastic life scared me a little because of its radicalism; at the same time, it fascinated me deeply. During my first year in Cambridge, a Marist priest, professor of Irish history, accompanied my conversion to Catholicism: we read together all the documents of the Second Vatican Council, an excellent preparation. I stayed at the university …More

The Nation of Islam here in the States has published a three volume series on a certain topic surrounding slavery in the America's. Malcom X was a principled man who resisted the US Government tyranny and was murdered for it. Anti-semitism is one of the "errors of Russia's," "tricks" to control the fake opposition, primarily the "christian nationalist" movement.
While wars are being made and helping others to start or participate in wars. This man is bringing joy to disabled children in Russia. Visiting Orphans and hospitals, disabled Vets and the elderly. He is all over Russia deeply involved with everyone in Russia that he can be. This young man had a wish come true when President Putin chose a card with his wish on it. He was invited to the Kremlin to have tea and cookies along with his brother and father. Then he was taken up into a helicopter with his brother, I believe over St. Petersburg Fulfilling his wish. That was back in 2017. He has a rare bone disease which I forgot the name of. He is now a young man. Late teens early 20's.
Can you imagine if we could have a President Like Putin? Who actually loves and cares for his people. The things I see, the places he goes to just to meet and talk to children and citizens is unreal. I seriously don't understand how he does it. Even if he doesn't take a vacation every month like most. I can't imagine how he does all he does. I guess it's for his deep love for his people and country that pushes him.
While some presidents constantly take vacations and every Sunday take the day off to golf and relax. President Putin took one vacation camping in Siberia! No fancy hotels with large comfortable beds. Just a small cabin and a cot. No waiters or servants serving him. And no fancy restaurants. He went fishing and cooked his own catch. Picked and ate wild mushrooms and collected rare herbs. and went hiking. That is what he called a vacation! Ask anyone in Russia and they will tell you. He doesn't take vacations (except the one I posted) and even works on his birthday. Putin on vacation in Siberia
The Associazione Dipendenti Laici Vaticani (ADLV), a union-like association representing the Vatican's lay employees, has questioned in a December 3 statement the optimism surrounding the recent Vatican financial report. Last week, the Vatican announced a budget surplus of €1.6 million, its first positive result after years of deficits—a development presented as a sign of progress. However, the ADLV argues that the information released remains partial and insufficient. Employees say they would prefer the Vatican to regularly publish complete, certified budgets—both forecast and final—accompanied by detailed documentation, rather than relying on visually appealing slide presentations that lack the depth required for serious evaluation. As the ADLV notes, it is difficult to believe in a genuine financial recovery when essential data are still missing. Surplus Driven by Donations and Market Gains According to the association, the surplus is not the result of structural reforms or improved …More
