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.

The Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches in Jerusalem denounce “Christian Zionism” as a harmful ideology. In a joint statement on January 17 (below), they write: “Recent activities undertaken by local individuals who advance damaging ideologies, such as Christian Zionism, mislead the public, sow confusion, and harm the unity of our flock. These undertakings have found favor among certain political actors in Israel and beyond who seek to push a political agenda which may harm the Christian presence in the Holy Land and the wider Middle East.” The Patriarchs and Heads of Churches further note with concern that these individuals have welcomed at official levels both locally and internationally. #newsKcvomeyroj
21 YEAR OLD SHOT BY ICE AT SHORT RANGE LEFT BLINDED, TELLS HIS STORY. OTHERS LEFT IN DELICATE HEALTH AS WELL. VIDEO OF THE EVENT RECORDED, AND WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP TO BRING ICE AGENTS TO JUSTICE.
The French actress and sex symbol of the 1960s, Brigitte Bardot, aged 91, was laid to rest on 7 January after a funeral Eucharist in Saint-Tropez on the French Riviera. Celebrated by the parish priest, the Novus Ordo service included mostly profane music, such as the score of Contempt, the 1963 Jean-Luc Godard film in which Bardot starred. On 17 January, Jeanne Smits published an obituary on LifeSiteNews.com, correcting journalists who had one-sidedly referred to a 2024 interview in which Bardot described herself as a 'traditionalist', recalling the Mass of her childhood. Denying Eternal Life Bardot was not a practising Catholic. Although she called herself a believer, she wrote in her 2018 autobiography Larmes de combat (Tears of Battle): "It's the afterlife that's awful; what the body becomes is dirty. I don’t know if life after death exists. I don't know, and I don't necessarily hope that it does. What kind of mess could await us on the other side? We might as well sleep. Forever..." …More
This is a tragedy. She grew up when the red-hot liberals were sneaking out of their demonic spaces and began invading the mainstream church. I am sure that many in her age group abandoned the church and have never come back.
Florida Man’s Split-Second Decision Saves Two Toddlers Caught in Traffic | Shalom World News A routine drive turned into a life-saving moment when a Florida man jumped out of his car to rescue two toddlers who had wandered into the middle of a busy road in Brevard County, narrowly escaping tragedy. The incident unfolded when the two young children, who had slipped unnoticed out of a backyard, began walking into traffic as vehicles approached from both directions. Drivers slowed in confusion, but the danger remained immediate and severe. John Brittingham, a father of five and a grandfather, was driving nearby when he spotted the toddlers standing alone in the roadway. Without hesitation, he stopped his vehicle, jumped out, and ran toward the children, guiding them safely out of harm’s way just moments before a potential collision. “I was terrified,” Brittingham later said. “If anything would’ve happened to them, my whole life would have been ruined.” Brittingham downplayed his actions …More

The contemplative community is based at the Sacré-Cœur of Paris, France.

Scope of the investigation The commission conducted 159 interviews with current sisters, former members, priests, bishops …More
These “independent commissions” do not understand the meaning of suffering, sacrifice, and self-denial, and call all of this “abuse of power.” It is entirely in line with the post-conciliar church, which is trying to eliminate the cross from Christ's message.
Baby Ramsey was declared clinically dead at birth — no signs of life, unresponsive to medical intervention. Then Father John performed an emergency baptism. And she moved her tiny body for the first time. When medicine had no answers, God did. Watch.

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Unhappiness Jan. 14, 2026 nytimes.com/2026/01/14/opinion/america-quality- … By Nicholas Kristof Opinion Columnist We Americans like to boast, “We’re No. 1,” and we certainly are in our military capacity to invade other countries and abduct odious foreign leaders. But in the well-being of ordinary citizens? A careful study released Wednesday and based on a measure called the Social Progress Index suggests that in terms of quality of life, the United States ranks 32nd out of 171 countries, behind Poland, Lithuania and Cyprus. More alarming, the United States has fallen steadily in the rankings over the years, under Republican and Democratic presidents alike — and now seems poised to fall further because of cuts in health care and other services by President Trump. The Social Progress Index was introduced in the 2010s by a high-powered team of scholars and experts. The United States ranked 18th in 2011, and while that was troubling, we were still ahead …More
Journalists Raymond Arroyo and Robert Royal, and canon lawyer and priest Gerald Murray of New York talked on January 16 about the consistory of January 7-8. A short sequence, video below. Robert Royal commenting on Cardinal Grech’s contribution on synod: I think you hear that and you say, what in God’s name can that possibly mean? This is the gobbledygook we’ve been listening to for years about synodality and all this confusion. I mean, one of the things I’ve heard from sources is that many of these cardinals have said, "Look, we’re just confused about this. We’re tired of going over the same things again and again." These pronouncements keep coming out. When I read Cardinal Grech, I said to myself: This guy knows they haven’t gotten anything substantial done. You can try to preserve the illusion that there’s somehow a dynamic age of the Spirit underway, but it’s about to die. Raymond Arroyo: Well, he says there are good fruits here. He says fruits are blooming all over the place. …More
