THE MYSTERIES OF THE ROSARY Fifth Mystery of Light: The institution of the Eucharist. In the Fifth Luminous Mystery, “By celebrating the Last Supper with His Apostles in the course of the Passover meal, Jesus gave the Jewish Passover its definitive meaning. Jesus' passing over to His Father by His Death and Resurrection, the new Passover, is anticipated in the Supper and celebrated in the Eucharist, which fulfils the Jewish Passover and anticipates the final Passover of the Church in the glory of the Kingdom". (Article 1340 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church)
5 The Institution of the Eucharist. holylandrosary | October 16, 2009 Thursdays: While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to His disciples and said, "Take and eat, this is My body." Then He took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My blood." (Matthew 26:26-29)
2. April 2026 2. April 2026 04/02/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. Can one trust a state that has officially declared that international law does not apply to it? A country that withdraws from treaties, obligations, and guarantees at the first opportunity? Iranian President Pezeshkian has stated that he is willing to end the war in exchange for guarantees against further attacks. For more details, see the article published on ZeroHedge on Tuesday evening: Iran Says ‘Prepared To End War’ If Security Guarantees Offered. In my opinion, Iran’s drones, missiles, and strategic acumen are the best guarantee that it will not be attacked again. It would be good if the United States were to close all its bases in the Middle East. This can be compared to a court-ordered restraining order imposed on individuals who have behaved aggressively toward their family members. While this offers no guarantees, it at least makes malicious behavior more difficult and creates a legal basis for punishing …
Aprajita Nafs Nefes Ancient Believe@aprajitanefes|In the Philippines, where oil reserves are on the verge of depletion, people are now walking to work. With only ~45 days of fuel left, Marcos declared a national energy emergency due to the Middle East conflict. Prices have doubled. Public transport is crippled. This is the real face of global energy wars the poor and import-dependent nations pay first and pay hardest. Share if you see the pattern. x.com/aprajitanefes/status/2037110722585567718
1. The War Was Predictably Destabilizing The speaker begins by saying any competent analyst should have known that attacking Iran would disrupt global energy markets. Iran has the capability to interfere with oil flows (especially in key shipping lanes), so economic fallout was a “known known”—not a surprise. 2. Failure to Build International Support They contrast this conflict with earlier U.S. wars: 1991 Gulf War: A broad coalition was built before combat—European allies, Arab states, and NATO partners were aligned. 2003 Iraq War: Even though controversial, the U.S. at least attempted to gain NATO backing and international legitimacy. Current situation: No real diplomatic effort was made to build a coalition. Europe is refusing to participate. European economies are already strained (e.g., from Russia sanctions), and this war is worsening their situation. Conclusion: The U.S. acted unilaterally and now stands isolated. 3. No Serious War Planning The speaker argues the war was launched …More
"#1 The War Was Predictably Destabilizing" Who benefits? Certainly not US interests. Destabilizing the region is exactly what Israel wants. Bibi's mission accomplished.
"He has come into our country and dwelt in one body amidst the many, and in consequence the designs of the enemy against mankind have been foiled and the corruption of death, which formerly held us in its power, has simply ceased to exist. For the human race would have perished utterly had not the Lord and Savior of all, the Son of God, come among us to put and end to death." Saint Athanasios of Alexandria

Room of the Last Supper (Cenacle, the upper chamber), Mount Zion. The world's first church. Cenacle - Wikipedia The Cenacle (from the Latincenaculum, "dining room"), also known as the Upper Room (from the Koine Greekanagaion and hyperōion, both meaning "upper room"), is a room in Mount Zion in Jerusalem, just outside the Old City walls, traditionally held to be the site of the Last Supper, the final meal that, in the Gospel accounts, Jesus held with the apostles. According to the Christian Bible, the Cenacle was a place in which the apostles continued to gather after the Last Supper, and it was also the site where the Holy Spirit alighted upon the twelve apostles on Pentecost, Matthias having been "numbered with the eleven apostles" to replace Judas in Acts 1:25. The site is administered by the Israeli authorities, and is part of a building holding what is known as "David's Tomb" on its ground floor.
Room of the Last Supper (Cenacle, the upper chamber), Mount Zion. The world's first church. Zahi Shaked. Israeli tour guide Jun 12, 2013. The Cenacle (from Latincoenaculum), also known as the "Upper Room", is a room in Jerusalem traditionally held to be the site of The Last Supper. The word is a derivative of the Latin word cenō, which means dinner. In Christian tradition, based on Acts 1:13,[1] the "Upper Room" was not only the site of the Last Supper (i.e. the Cenacle), but the usual place where the Apostles stayed in Jerusalem and, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia,[2] "the first Christian church".

A Clapham security guard has described the moment he was forced to lock customers inside the store as mobs of feral youths ran wild. The Metropolitan Police warned of more Easter holiday 'linkups' as teens tore through south London once again on Tuesday evening with terrified families barricaded inside high street stores in the latest wave of chaos. Clips circulating on social media showed crowds of children gathering in the neighbourhood, terrorising locals and forcing shops to close. Police vehicles could be seen desperately trying to move through the throng of rioters who took to the streets in broad daylight on Tuesday afternoon, responding to a social media trend encouraging teens to 'linkup' en masse. The force confirmed two teenage girls were arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker, and a dispersal order has been put in place. Marks and Spencer on the high street - which was looted by a similar flash mob over the weekend leading to two arrests - shut early amid …
Saint Francis of Paola - April 2 Also known as Franciscus de Paula Francis the Fire Handler Francesco di Paola Francisco de Paula Memorial 2 April Profile Francis’ parents were childless for many years, but following prayers for the intercession of SaintFrancis of Assisi, they had three children; Francis was the oldest. Following a pilgrimage in his teens to Rome and Assisi in Italy, he became a hermit in a cave near Paola. Before he was 20 years old he began to attract followers. By the 1450‘s the followers had become so numerous that he established a Rule for them and sought Church approval. This was the founding of the Hermits of Saint Francis of Assisi, who were approved by the Holy See in 1474. In 1492 they were renamed the Franciscan Order of Minim Fiars, which means they count themselves the least of the family of God. Prophet. Miracle worker. Reputed to read minds. In 1464 Francis wanted to cross the Straits of Messina to reach Sicily, but a boatman …More

A perfect meditation for Holy Week, especially when so many of us are tempted to comment on every crisis, every issue. For that was not Our Lady's approach: The Virtue of Silence - Pax Orbis
The beautiful meditation is from Divine Intimacy1 explains some aspects of Our Lady’s role as Co-Redemptrix, particularly Her silence and humility, as well as Her deep love for souls. These virtues provide a blueprint for those consecrated to Our Lady and are a poignant theme for contemplation during Holy Week. The meditation also expresses a fundamental principle of apostolic work, particularly of pro-life work: the prioritising of prayer over activity. Presence of God O Mary, Queen of Apostles, obtain for me the heart of an Apostle. Meditation 1. Mary is, at the same time, the model of both contemplative and apostolic souls. Furthermore, by combining in herself the highest contemplative life with the highest apostolic life, she teaches us that contemplation and the apostolate, far from being opposed to other, complement, support, and maintain each other. When the contemplative life – considered as an assiduous seeking after union with God-is really fervent, it cannot fail to enkindle …
Apr 1 How the Liberals have economically weakened and divided Canada From Real Women of Canada comes another sober article outlining the economic failures of Canada's Liberal government led by PM Justin Trudeau and now Marc Carney. Today all Members of Parliament will get a pay hike, whether they deserve or not. So, those backbencher MPs Canadians never hear from will get an increase of 4.2%, taking their base salaries to $211,000. The PM will receive $420,000 and ministers $300,000. No, it's not an April Fool's Day joke. Canadians surely wish it was. Here's the article by Real Women of Canada tilted, "Mark Carney Walks in the Footsteps of Justin Trudeau." We post the entry with permission. Everyone remembers when Justin Trudeau became prime minister in 2015. The election of a Liberal Government, under his leadership, was greeted with elation.

Political leaders in the West are no longer governing for the citizenry they ought to represent. No, they are governing for themselves and the oligarchs they serve. Canada is now a prime example. It’s one of the richest countries in the world when it comes to natural resources. However, the province of Alberta cannot sell their oil and gas openly on the market and to other provinces within Canada. This is intentional. Don’t be Canada.

10 years since Saint John Paul II died. CNS on Apr 1, 2015 Pope Francis commemorated the death of Saint John Paul II during his weekly general audience April 1.
On Palm Sunday, Leo XIV used again a ferula that features a risen Christ leaving the cross. He has used it since 6 January 2026. On 9 January, the Office for the Liturgical Celebrations told VaticanNews.va that the cross "unites the mission of proclaiming the mystery of Christ on the cross with the glorious manifestation of the resurrection". The ferula "presents Christ no longer bound by the nails of the Passion, but with his glorified body", according to the papal office. And: "The Paschal Mystery thus becomes a source of hope for humanity because death no longer has any power over mankind since Christ redeemed everything he assumed." #newsBcyvklvfjo
This ferula is inconsistent with the truth of the Gospel. Jesus resurrected out of the tomb, not off of the cross. On the cross he was absolutely, completely and utterly, dead. His crucifixion and death was the most through and through complete offering of His whole Self for us to God. It is the most awful and beautiful expression of love in the entire universe, and a continuing challenge to us who claim to 'love' like Him! Why shrink from showing His beautiful death to the whole world?
