“Leo XIV is responsible for it. In fact, he set the four-topic agenda for the meeting… I just hope they drop this middle school social science approach.” — Fr. Gerald Murray
(Feast of St. Marcellus I, Pope and Martyr – January 16) Brothers and Sisters, There is a kind of suffering that comes from the world, and we expect it. The world has always resisted the light. But there is another kind of suffering – sharper, quieter, and harder to bear – when the wound comes from within, when rejection comes not from strangers, but from one’s own. Holy Scripture says of Our Lord: “He came unto his own, and his own received him not” (John 1:11). And on this day, January 16, the traditional calendar places before us a Pope – St. Marcellus I – whose witness is marked by that same sorrowful pattern: not merely opposed by the enemies of the Church, but resisted amid turmoil and rebellion within the household of faith. So the title today is simple. And heavy. Exiled by his own. Pause for a moment and let that phrase do its work. Because it is not only history. It is a pattern. It is a temptation. It is a warning. And it is also – mysteriously – a path that God has …More
In Yiwu, Zhejiang, participants in a sports event are indoctrinated against the “xie jiao” while cycling up the hills. by Qi Junzao The Yivu race: anti-xie-jiao propaganda is not far away. On December 14, the city of Yiwu in Zhejiang province hosted what might have been a perfectly ordinary sporting event: a cycling hill‑climb invitational. One thousand riders gathered at the scenic Shili Taohua Wu area to test their stamina on the winding Yan’kou Lake track. But in China, no public gathering is too innocent to escape the heavy hand of propaganda. Suddenly, the event was transformed into a “sports + anti-xie‑jiao extravaganza.” For readers unfamiliar with the term, “xie jiao” is often translated as “cults” or “evil cults,” but this is not accurate. It designates in China since the Middle Ages “organizations spreading heterodox teachings,” and the powers that be decide which teachings are “heterodox.” Today, it is a deliberately broad and elastic label wielded by the Chinese …

I have seen and testified January 18 - Second Sunday in Ordinary Time Dear brothers and sisters, John the Baptist, in the passage from the Gospel of St. John the Apostle that we’re going to listen to on Sunday, January 18, helps us better understand the beautiful mission of us Christians in the world. First of all, we must "see," with the "eyes" of faith, God's love for us in the Risen Jesus, present through His Holy Catholic Church, in His Word, in His Sacraments, especially in the Holy Eucharist. Regarding the encounter with God in His Word, Pope Leo in his catechesis on Wednesday, January 14, pointing to the DEI VERBUM, as one of the most beautiful and important documents of the Second Vatican Council, recalls that its purpose is to nourish the New Testament hope in the God who makes us children and calls us to become like Him even though in our fragile humanity. That's why the Pope invites us to cultivate friendship with God by listening to His Word and through liturgical, communal …More
“CHAPTER XVII ~ Pains of Purgatory — Blessed Quinziani — The Emperor Maurice. In the Life of Blessed Stephana Quinziani, a Dominican nun, mention is made of a sister named Paula, who died at the convent of Mantua, after a long life of eminent virtue. The body was carried to the church and placed uncovered in the choir among the Religious. During the recitation of the Office, Blessed Quinziani knelt near the bier, recommending to God the deceased Religious, who had been very dear to her. Suddenly the latter let fall the crucifix, which had been placed between her hands, extended the left arm, seized the right hand of Blessed Quinziani, and pressed it tightly, as a poor patient in the burning heat of fever would ask the assistance of a friend. She held it for a considerable time, and then, withdrawing her arm, sank back lifeless into the coffin. The Religious, astonished at this prodigy, asked an explanation of the Blessed Sister. She replied that, whilst the deceased pressed her hand,…More
" Help me, dear sister, succour me in the frightful torture which I endure. Oh ! if you knew the severity of the Judge who desires all our love, what atonement He demands for the least faults before admitting us to the reward ! If you knew how pure we must be to see the face of God ! Pray ! pray, and do penance for me, who can no longer help myself."
"He was taken, together with his wife, five of his sons, and three daughters — that is to say, his entire family with the exception of his eldest son, whom he bad already caused to be crowned Emperor, and who, thus far, had escaped the tyrant. Maurice and his five sons were unmercifully slaughtered near Chalcedon. The carnage began with the youngest of the princes, who was put to death before the eyes of the unfortunate father, without uttering a word of complaint."

The Holy Door at Saint Peter's Basilica was sealed on January 16. Vatican craftsmen closed the door from the inside using 3,200 bricks. The door will remain closed until the next Jubilee.
La porta santa della Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano è stata murata. «È bello diventare pellegrini di speranza. Ed è bello continuare ad esserlo, insieme! La fedeltà di Dio ci stupirà ancora. Se non ridurremo a monumenti le nostre chiese, se saranno case le nostre comunità, se resisteremo uniti alle lusinghe dei potenti, allora saremo la generazione dell’aurora. Maria, Stella del mattino, camminerà sempre davanti a noi! Nel suo Figlio contempleremo e serviremo una magnifica umanità, trasformata non da deliri di onnipotenza, ma dal Dio che per amore si è fatto carne» Leone XIV da pagina facebook di SilereNonPossum
JANUARY 17 2026 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 2,13-17. Jesus went out along the sea. All the crowd came to him and he taught them. As he passed by, he saw Levi, son of Alphaeus, sitting at the customs post. He said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him. While he was at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners sat with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many who followed him. Some scribes who were Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors and said to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?" Jesus heard this and said to them (that), "Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners."
Did you know that when a squirrel finds an orphaned baby squirrel, the first thing she does is feed it and wait? She watches for a day… then two… then three — hoping the parents will come back. If no one shows up, she doesn’t walk away. She adopts the baby as her own. She feeds it, warms it, teaches it how to survive, and raises it right alongside her litter as if it had always belonged. Squirrels also have a tender ritual that most people never hear about: when a female greets her partner after he’s been out gathering food, she gently touches his face — as if to wipe the exhaustion off him. And the male shows love his own way: he brings her the best nuts he can find — walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds — whatever the forest has to offer. That’s how a squirrel family lives: Mom Squirrel, Dad Squirrel, and their babies — built on quiet care and mutual effort. But here’s the part that always stops biologists in their tracks: Roughly half of the seeds squirrels bury for “hard times” are …More

Dr. Kirk Moore is a hero for our times versus the evils and the evil ones who should be held accountable for their crimes against humanity who perpetrated death and life long disabilities against multi millions of innocent people seduced and forced to take the death jab- "Moore said he’d signed up for the program in May 2021 to receive more than 2,000 free vaccine doses and accompanying proof-of-vaccination cards after some businesses, nursing homes and the military began requiring such proof for visitors and employees. He said his plan was always to give vaccine cards without providing the shots because he wanted to offer patients a choice to circumvent vaccine mandates."
