Acts 8:26-40 “What is to prevent my being baptized?” Everyone can be baptized. John 6:44-51 “I am the living bread that came down from heaven.” The word “living” is the word “life.” The life of God descends into us and raises us to him. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
[Saint Anthony of Padua, XII-XIII Century, Lisbon, Kingdom of Portugal/Padua, Lombard League, Holy Roman Empire (aged 35), Portuguese Catholic priest and member of the Order of Friars Minor, Doctor of the Church, Canonized less than one year after his death, Doctor Evangelicus] “ST. ANTONY'S GENERAL PROLOGUE 1. According to the First Book of Chronicles, David gave the purest gold: to make the likeness of the chariot of the cherubims, spreading their wings and veiling the ark of the covenant of the Lord. [1 Chron 28.18] 2. Genesis speaks of The land of Hevilath, where gold groweth, and the gold of that land is very good. [Gen 2.11-12] The name Hevilath is supposed to mean ‘bringing forth’. It stands for Holy Scripture, which is The earth [which] of itself bringeth forth fruit, first the blade, then the ear, afterwards the full corn in the ear.[Mk 4.28] By the blade we understand the allegorical sense of Scripture, which builds up faith in accordance with the words: Let the earth bring …More
"4. There follows: To make the likeness of the chariot of the cherubims, which means the fulness of knowledge, and which stands for the Old and New Testaments, in which is the fulness of knowledge, the only knowledge worthy of the name, that makes men knowledgeable; the key-texts of which are as it were wings, which are spread out precisely when they are expounded in the three-fold way referred to above; and so they ‘veil the ark of the Lord’s covenant.’"

04/21/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. First, a brief comparison. In history class, we learned about a Mongol ruler from the turn of the 12th to the 13th century: the ruthless conqueror of half the world, Genghis Khan. His wars claimed the lives of 40 million people at the time—that is 11.11% of the entire known world population. Today I asked “Google Intelligence” the following question: How did Genghis Khan treat envoys? The answer surprised me greatly: Genghis Khan treated envoys with the utmost respect, and their protection was a fundamental principle of Mongol law and strategy. The most important aspects of this topic are listed below: Absolute inviolability: The killing of an envoy (ambassador) was considered one of the gravest acts of hostility, which typically led to merciless revenge and the complete destruction of the state that had committed such an act; The Jam System (Jaam): Genghis Khan established an efficient courier system (Jam) that enabled messengers to travel …
The EU forces Hungary to allow children access to LGBTQ+ content. The Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled that Hungary's 2021 law, which restricts the dissemination of content related to homosexuality and gender transition to minors, violates EU law. As a result, Hungary is forced to amend or repeal this legislation.
Amid growing controversy over the future of the Valley of the Fallen, Spain’s Minister of the Presidency, Félix Bolaños, has defended Cardinal José Cobo of Madrid. Bolaños told LaSexta.com that the plan to secularise the religious site was not the cardinal's initiative, but the result of an agreement reached directly with the Vatican. He emphasised that no personal deal had been made with Cobo, who has faced significant pressure from Catholics over the issue. The minister also said that the Vatican is fully committed to transforming the Valley from a monastery into a site of "democratic memory". Addressing divisions within the Catholic Church, Bolaños described it as a 'plural organisation', while criticising more traditional sectors that oppose the transformation and suggesting that they are out of step with 'contemporary society'. He also placed the “re-signification” of the Valley within a broader set of negotiations between the Spanish government and the Church, covering issues …More
"I feel so sorry for you," said the unlit candle to her flickering friend. "Your time is so short. You’re constantly burning away, and soon, you’ll be gone forever. I’m much happier than you. I don’t burn, so I don’t melt. I just lie here in peace, and I’ll last for years. But your days are numbered." The burning candle replied: "I don’t regret a single moment. My life is beautiful and full of meaning. Yes, I burn, and my wax is melting away, but my flame has lit countless other candles, and my own light is never diminished by sharing it. With my light, I drive back the darkness of the night. I bring a sparkle to a child’s eyes at a celebration. I purify the air by a sick person’s bedside, for shadows and despair cannot stand the presence of a living flame. I stand as a symbol of hope and a silent prayer. Isn't a life like that—even a short one—truly beautiful? Actually, it’s you I feel sorry for, my unlit sister. Your fate is the one that's truly sad. You’ve never fulfilled the …More
Authored by Andrew Korybko, Orban’s “democraticouster” is expected to remove Hungary’s procedural opposition to the EU’s planned €90 billion loan to Ukraine that’ll be financed by members raising common debt. RT published a detailed article about this plan here last December, which was a compromise for financing this loan after the bloc failed to reach a consensus to either outright confiscate some of Russia’s frozen assets for giving to Ukraine or use at least some of them as collateral for a loan to it. Readers can learn more here and here. If everything goes according to plan, and Bloomberg reported that the bloc plans to move swiftly after Hungary held everything up for several months already, then this move risks funding a forever war. Hopes of a military breakthrough along the front or a diplomatic breakthrough in US-mediated talks have yet to materialize, so the pace of Russia’s on-the-ground advance remains glacial, thus meaning that it could take years to achieve …
Cardinal Pizzaballa and the Assembly of Catholic Ordinaries of the Holy Land have issued a statement expressing profound indignation and unreserved condemnation of the desecration of a statue of Jesus Christ by an Israeli soldier in a Lebanese village, calling it a grave affront to the Christian faith — and linking it to a broader pattern of IDF desecration of Christian symbols in southern Lebanon.
L’Assemblea degli Ordinari Cattolici di Terra Santa ha diffuso un comunicato durissimo dopo la profanazione di un’immagine di Gesù crocifisso in un villaggio del Libano. Il testo parla di un’offesa grave alla fede cristiana e denuncia anche altri episodi contro simboli cristiani nel sud del Paese. I vescovi chiedono misure disciplinari immediate, un’accertata assunzione di responsabilità e garanzie chiare perché fatti simili non si ripetano. La Chiesa di Terra Santa rinnova il suo appello: fermare una guerra che lacera la regione da troppo tempo e scegliere una strada fatta di dialogo, responsabilità, rispetto del sacro e di ogni vita umana. da pagina facebook di SilereNonPossum
Joe Tippens @JoeTippen Don’t tell Pfizer. Stage 4 Cancer... GONE in 3 Months — Naturally! A 73-year-old woman was told there was no cure. Stage 4. “Nothing we can do,” doctors said.But just 90 days later… her scans showed NO disease detected. What changed? Her son went down the research rabbit hole on X and found my posts on IP6 (Inositol Hexaphosphate), juicing, Mesima mushrooms, and Ivermectin. Here’s what she did : • IP6: 2 scoops, twice a day on an empty stomach • 24 oz carrot juice daily (+ some other juices) • A bit of Mesima mushroom & Olive leaf • 3 immunotherapy sessions (docs said it wouldn’t cure her) • Ivermectin: added as support — we’re seeing more and more remarkable responses when it’s included No chemo. No radiation. No Fenben. And guess what? The cancer disappeared. This isn’t a one-off story. I’ve been receiving multiple reports of stunning cancer reversals using these exact protocols — especially IP6, juicing, and Ivermectin. There are also published studies …More
The late great ALAIN DELON’s parents divorced when he was 4yrs old and put him up for adoption - so his answer when asked — “if God exists what would you ask him after your death?” — hits me hard every time.
Skip to content German media is full of headlines like ‘German crime figures: Are migrants unfairly targeted?’ “Is it true that the crime rate in Germany is higher among immigrants? Statistics suggest as much, but numbers by themselves can be misleading. An expert explains what’s behind them.” Experts. What would we do without them? The crime statistics are bad otherwise they wouldn’t be doing this kind of song and dance. Syrian nationals in Germany are almost eleven times more likely to be identified as suspects in violent crimes than German citizens. According to de Vries, the rate of offenses is even higher for serious sexual crimes : Afghan nationals top the list – with a figure that is around 14 times higher than that of Germans. Overall, foreign suspects are “significantly overrepresented” in violent crimes (over 43 percent) and serious sexual offenses (39.6 percent), according to de Vries. The crime rate is particularly striking among individuals from Syria, Afghanistan, …
