Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 10,11-18. Jesus said: "I am the good shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away, and the wolf catches and scatters them. This is because he works for pay and has no concern for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I will lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd. This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own. I have power to lay it down, and power to take it up again. This command I have received from my Father."
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Johannes - Joh 10,11-18. In jener Zeit sprach Jesus: Ich bin der gute Hirt. Der gute Hirt gibt sein Leben hin für die Schafe. Der bezahlte Knecht aber, der nicht Hirt ist und dem die Schafe nicht gehören, sieht den Wolf kommen, lässt die Schafe im Stich und flieht; und der Wolf reißt sie und zerstreut sie. Er flieht, weil er nur ein bezahlter Knecht ist und ihm an den Schafen nichts liegt. Ich bin der gute Hirt; ich kenne die Meinen und die Meinen kennen mich, wie mich der Vater kennt und ich den Vater kenne; und ich gebe mein Leben hin für die Schafe. Ich habe noch andere Schafe, die nicht aus diesem Stall sind; auch sie muss ich führen und sie werden auf meine Stimme hören; dann wird es nur eine Herde geben und einen Hirten. Deshalb liebt mich der Vater, weil ich mein Leben hingebe, um es wieder zu nehmen. Niemand entreißt es mir, sondern ich gebe es von mir aus hin. Ich habe Macht, es hinzugeben, und ich habe Macht, es wieder zu nehmen. Diesen …More
Prevost contradicts not only all of Scripture, Divine Natural Law, and Catholic moral doctrine, but also all the Church Fathers, the Saints, Church Tradition, and approved Marian apparitions.
I believe the attack on Trump event was staged, says former CIA officer Larry Johnson. Did Trump know in advance? It's a miracle he hasn't been shot by now, given multiple security failings. The patsy and an FBI set-up INTERVIEW: The story stinks to high heaven
Coliva (or Koliva) is a traditional Eastern Orthodox ritual food made of boiled wheat berries, sugar, nuts, and flavorings, primarily used to honor the dead. It is served at funerals and memorial services in countries like Romania, Greece, and Bulgaria to symbolize the resurrection, the cycle of life, and Christian hope, often garnished with a cross of candy or powder. Usage: It is brought to the church, blessed during the service, and then shared among family, friends, and sometimes the community in memory of the loved one. Not just at funerals, but also for the 40 day and yearly remembrance. Explained: youtube.com/watch?v=CAIjkDG21YE How to make it: youtube.com/watch?v=SEAFGfZs8Kk
Oradea, Romania // Armed Romanian gendarmes and police entered a Catholic Church during the celebration of Mass on Tuesday morning, April 14, in Oradea, initiating an eviction enforcement against Abbot Anzelm Fejes, superior of the 900-year-old Norbertine Abbey of Oradea, and seizing parts of the monastic enclosure. The unconstitutional intrusion and criminal seizure of the monastery took place despite the fact that the case remains under judicial appeal and has generated statements of formal legal protection from Romania’s highest state authorities and those of the Norbertine Order in Rome. According to Krónika, the enforcement began shortly after 9:00 a.m., when a judicial bailiff, accompanied by nearly 100 gendarmes and police, entered the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows while Mass was underway, during the time of Holy Communion. The Catholic faithful had formed a line at the entrance. The bailiff proceeded inside despite their presence. The liturgy continued uninterrupted. The …More
Acts of the Apostles 11,1-18. The Apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles too had accepted the word of God. So when Peter went up to Jerusalem the circumcised believers confronted him, saying, "You entered the house of uncircumcised people and ate with them." Peter began and explained it to them step by step, saying, "I was at prayer in the city of Joppa when in a trance I had a vision, something resembling a large sheet coming down, lowered from the sky by its four corners, and it came to me. Looking intently into it, I observed and saw the four-legged animals of the earth, the wild beasts, the reptiles, and the birds of the sky. I also heard a voice say to me, 'Get up, Peter. Slaughter and eat.' But I said, 'Certainly not, sir, because nothing profane or unclean has ever entered my mouth.' But a second time a voice from heaven answered, 'What God has made clean, you are not to call profane.' This happened three times, and then everything was drawn up again …More
Deacon Nick Donnelly @ProtecttheFaith First they desecrate St. Peter’s with a protestantized Mass, then they desecrate it with Pachamama, a gay pride march and now they desecrate St.Peter’s with a woman pretending to be the Archbishop of a schismatic Protestant group that persecuted Catholics for hundreds of years
The Church teaches that heretics cannot validly administer even sacramentals, such as blessings, consecrations, and exorcisms. The Church has automatically excommunicated the accomplices of heretics. Pope Leo XIII It breaks away from the Apostolic succession In the rite of conferring and administering any sacrament one rightly distinguishes between the ceremonial part and the essential part, which is customarily called the matter and form. […] Now, the words which until recent times were everywhere held by the Anglicans as the proper form of priestly ordination, namely, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit,’ certainly do not in the least signify definitely the order of priesthood, or its grace and power, which is especially the power ‘of consecrating and of offering the true Body and Blood of the Lord,’ in that sacrifice which is no ‘nude commemoration of the sacrifice offered on the Cross’ [see n. 950]. Such a form was indeed afterwards lengthened by these words, ‘for the office and work of …More
Father E. Sylvester Berry: “The dragon is seen in heaven which is here a symbol of the Church, the kingdom of heaven on earth. This indicates that the first troubles of those days will be inaugurated within the Church by apostate bishops, priests, and peoples, — the stars dragged down by the tail of the dragon.
Immigrant criticizes Finland for not being diverse enough: ”They don't have a lot of diversity, it's just Finns and Finns everywhere. That’s solvable in the future because more and more immigrants are coming here. It’s good for the society” No. It’s not good for the society.
On 24 April, Bishop Joseph Strickland posted a comment on X regarding Pope Leo XIV's response to a question on blessings for homosexual couples in the Archdiocese of Munich during the flight from Africa to Rome. Monsignor Strickland called the distinction between 'formal' and 'informal' blessings, as referenced in 'Fiducia Supplicans', confusing because sin cannot be blessed. Likewise, the suggestion that there are 'greater and more important' moral issues than sexual morality must be understood with great care: "The Church has never taught that sins against chastity are of little importance." "Sacred Scripture and the constant teaching of the Church affirm that sexual morality touches deeply on the dignity of the human person, the sanctity of marriage, and the proper ordering of love." Leo XIV had said that there are much greater and more important issues, such as justice, equality, and the freedom of men and women and of religion. Bishop Strickland responded: "The moral law is not …More
Prevost obstinately rejects the authority of God and defies the Holy Spirit. Leo Affirms Francis’ Blessing Of Gay Couples Saint Paul teaches us that anyone who rejects the instructions to live in holiness and disobeys the Will of God—which consists precisely in the requirement that we Christians live in holiness and abstain from all sexual immorality—is not rejecting a human authority; rather, on the contrary, such a person is rejecting the Supreme Authority, which is the authority of God. Such a person rejects and defies the Holy Spirit. In other words, Prevost is committing the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. 1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 New Catholic Bible God Wills Your Sanctification Chapter 4 Respect for the Body. 1 Finally, brethren, you learned from us how you ought to live so that you may be pleasing to God—and as you are indeed doing. Now we ask and exhort you in the Lord Jesus to do so even more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord …More

Cardinal Cupich and Leo XIV Share Ecclesial Vision and Devotion for Francis: Pro-homosexual Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich told homosex activist James Martin SJ on April 21 that he has a decade-long relationship with Pope Leo XIV and often borrows his language when commenting on political events. Cupich recalled that Prevost attended his 2014 installation as archbishop of Chicago. They grew closer when Prevost became a member of the Congregation for Bishops and later became prefect: “He had been here at Holy Name Cathedral a couple of times to visit with me, we had lunch here… We have a very good history together working on important projects and had a great devotion to Pope Francis.”
Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich said this week that he has worked closely with Pope Leo XIV for years and often draws on the pontiff’s language when speaking on political issues. Appearing on Father James Martin’s podcast, Cupich said his relationship with Leo dates back to 2014 and deepened through their shared service on the Dicastery for Bishops. “We have a very good history together working on important projects,” Cupich said, adding that both shared “a great devotion to Pope Francis.”
Jeremiah 17:5 Thus says the Lord: Cursed is anyone who places his trust in human beings and relies on human strength while his heart turns away from the Lord.
At least nine scientists have mysteriously died in China as speculation grows over the deaths and disappearances of 11 American scientists. In many of the Chinese cases, the causes of death are recorded as accidents, sickness, or unexplained incidents. And while these explanations appear straightforward individually, taken together they are drawing increased scrutiny. One of the most puzzling cases is that of Feng Yanghe, a 38-year-old defence technology professor who died in July 2023. He had reportedly been working on simulations related to a potential Taiwan invasion before his death in a late-night car crash in Beijing, Newsweek reports. Official accounts state that Feng had been leaving a work meeting when the crash occurred at around 2.35 am. But speculation grew after his obituary described the scientist as having been 'sacrificed while performing official duties,' wording that some observers found unusual for what was described as a traffic accident. Further attention was …
