Vendredi 1er mai – Premier vendredi du mois – Saint Joseph, Artisan, époux de la Bienheureuse Vier

Solennité de saint Joseph ouvrier, époux de la bienheureuse Vierge Marie, confesseur, patron des ouvriers.
Le mois de mai est consacré à la
Très Sainte Vierge. Il est recommandé de faire en famille, dans les paroisses et les communautés religieuses, des exercices en son honneur et de fleurir son image.
Premier vendredi du mois.

Saint Joseph, Artisan, époux de la Bienheureuse Vierge Marie
La fête de saint Joseph Artisan, fixée au 1er mai par le pape Pie XII, succède à la solennité de saint Joseph qui se célébra jusqu’en 1955. Le monde du travail prend une conscience grandissante de son importance et c’est le rôle de l’Église de lui enseigner toute sa dignité; la figure de saint Joseph y contribue merveilleusement. Cette fête de saint Joseph est une triple fête patronale: fête de l’Église, fête de la famille et du foyer, fête du travail et de l’atelier. En était-il une qui fût davantage dans l’esprit de l’Évangile et dans l’esprit des temps nouveaux?

Rest in Peace, Bishop René Gracida (June 9, 1923 – May 1, 2026)!

From Diocese of Corpus Christi
At the age of 102, Bishop René Henry Gracida passed away on the morning of May 1, 2026. Bishop Mario Avilés wrote, “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bishop Emeritus René Henry Gracida. He served as the fifth Bishop of the Diocese of Corpus Christi from 1983 until 1997. We are deeply grateful for his faithful service as our shepherd for 14 years.” Previously, he was appointed Bishop of the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee in Florida (1975–1983) and as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Miami in Florida (1971–1975).
Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on June 9, 1923, Gracida was the second child of Enrique J. Gracida Carrizosa, a Mexican architect and engineer, and Mathilde Derbes, a fifth-generation French American Cajun. His great uncle was a vicar general of a diocese in Mexico. As a teenager, Gracida was fascinated by the Jesuit martyrs portrayed in James Fenimore Cooper’s novel The Last of the Mohicans.

Universities apply a double standard by tolerating this while disciplining dissent on transgender issues.

Leo XIV Appoints Smuggled Illegal Immigrant as U.S. Bishop

Today, Pope Leo XIV has appointed three new U.S. bishops who have expressed criticism of President Donald Trump.
Evelio Menjivar-Ayala, 55, currently auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Washington, is the new bishop of Wheeling-Charleston covering West Virginia. He is a formerly undocumented immigrant who was smuggled into the United States in a car trunk.
Furthermore, Leo XIV elevated the prelates Gary Studniewski, 68, and Robert Boxie, 45, as new auxiliary bishops for Washington Archdiocese.
Cardinal McElroy of Washington is one of the strongest pro-homosexual infiltrators. He publicly defended Fiducia Supplicans and said U.S. opposition focused on homosexual blessings reflected “enduring animus” toward homosexuals.
His Archdiocese of Washington spans Washington, D.C., and surrounding Maryland communities, placing its bishops in regular contact with policymakers, diplomats and national media.
With Menjivar, Boxie and Studniewski, Leo XIV has again reinforced a leadership group …More

US Justice Department: "Prosecute Any Nun Who Still Wears the Veil"

Justice Department prosecutors in the Biden administration joked about prosecuting Catholic nuns who attended a pro-Trump rally, according to text messages released by Senator Chuck Grassley and reported by DailyWire.com on April 29.
Prosecutor Molly Gaston wrote after viewing a photo of nuns wearing habits at the rally: “I would like to take a special assignment of finding and prosecuting them.”
Prosecutor Joseph Cooney replied, “I’m with you,” adding that he would like to prosecute “any nun who still wears the head habit.”
Grassley obtained the messages during an investigation into Justice Department conduct and condemned the remarks as evidence of bias against religious Americans.

“Take me in, for heaven’s sake,
“Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake.
Now she clutched him to her bosom, “You’re so beautiful,” she cried.
“But if I hadn’t brought you in by now you might have died.”
Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight .
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite.
…“I saved you,” cried that woman.
“And you've bit me even, why?
“You know your bite is poisonous and now I’m going to die.”
“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin,

Italian Foreign Affairs Minister Antonio Tajani: "It is now evident that a picture of growing hostility toward the Christian community in Israel, in Gaza, in the West Bank, and in southern Lebanon is emerging. A violence that this time did not spare a French nun assaulted in front of the Upper Room on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. Attacks that also involve the symbols and places of Christian worship. We continue to ask the Israeli Government to guarantee religious freedom and the presence of Christians, who have always been promoters of peace in the Middle East."

Time To Take Stock – Allah's Willing Executioners

Exactly fifty years ago, France introduced the principle of family reunification for immigrants who had come to work in France. Over the years, the measure has taken on symbolic significance as a sign of an out-of-control migration policy, making it highly unpopular today. But which politician will dare, in the coming years, to tackle what is also considered a taboo in France, the principle of the “land of welcome”?
On April 29, 1976,
family reunification, as it remains in force in France today, was introduced under a centre-right government, with Jacques Chirac as Prime Minister and Valéry Giscard d’Estaing as President of the Republic.
The decree established the general framework for family reunification, allowing a foreign national legally resident in France to bring over their spouse and minor children. Other legal provisions already existed prior to this decree. Since the 1920s, a period when significant labour migration was flowing into France—which had suffered from a shortage …

The heretical Anglican figure of the “Archbishop of Canterbury.” is equivalent to a “synodal pope.” Primus inter pares — the first among equals

“Your Grace”
Prevost maliciously used the name of the Holy Spirit and the name of Christ to endorse the heretical Anglican woman who poses as a bishop. This sin of malice against the Holy Spirit demonstrates that he is a blasphemer and a false prophet.
The impostor Robert Prevost, mocking the male priesthood instituted by Christ, began his speech by addressing the heretic Sarah Mullally—disguised as a bishop—: “Your Grace...”
Let us recall that the heretical figure of the Anglican sect—the Archbishop of Canterbury—is equivalent to a “synodal pope”: *first among equals*. Primus inter pares.
«Primus inter pares
The Archbishop of Canterbury holds a unique position as the first among equals within the Anglican Communion. This title, often referred to as "Primus inter pares," signifies that while the Archbishop is formally equal to other bishops, they also possess significant leadership roles and influence within the Communion.

Instead of fostering unity, the heretic—disguised as a bishop—Sarah Mullally (pro-homosexual, pro-abortion) has provoked division within the Anglican sect itself, as she holds positions contrary to the Scriptures. She contradicts the male priesthood instituted by Christ and, furthermore, defends immoral views that openly defy God's natural law, the Commandments, and Jesus Christ Himself.

Leo XIV Appoints Bishop Who Assisted During Strickland’s Removal

Today, Leo XIV has appointed Monsignor John Gomez as Bishop of Diocese of Laredo, USA.
Born in Colombia in 1975, Monsignor Gomez is a priest of the Diocese of Tyler, a canon lawyer trained at the Gregorian in Rome.
He has little discernible public media footprint: no notable interviews, personal social-media presence, podcasts, or published ideological essays appear readily available online.
Bishop Joseph Strickland appointed him in 2015 as vicar general of Tyler, Texas.
The interesting wrinkle is that Monsignor Gomez remained after Bishop Strickland was removed: He served as delegate of the apostolic administrator from 2023–2025, then vicar general again under Bishop Gregory Kelly from 2025.
CatholicVote reported in June 2023 that Monsignor Gomez helped organize meetings between the Vatican visitators and diocesan clergy, religious, and laity during the Apostolic Visitation.
The Apostolic Visitation was requested by the new prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, then-Archbishop Robert …More

Padre Guilherme Replaced at Catholic Event After Criticism

Despite originally being announced as one of the event’s featured attractions, Portuguese priest and DJ Guilherme Peixoto will no longer perform at the opening-night concert of Rouen’s 2026 Jeanne d’Arc celebrations on 14 May.
The Archdiocese of Rouen, France, said that Padre Guilherme had requested to postpone his appearance. This followed public criticism of his inclusion in the festival programme. Critics questioned the appropriateness of a priest performing electronic music during celebrations dedicated to Joan of Arc.
He will be replaced by French DJ Charles B, who will be accompanied by a local opening act. Unlike Padre Guilherme, the replacement performers are not clergy and their performance is not framed by religion.

Pope Leo Appoints Three Anti-Trump Bishops Amid White House Feud

From Newsweek
Pope Leo XIV has appointed three new U.S. bishops who have expressed criticism of President Donald Trump's actions.
Washington auxiliary bishop Evelio Menjivar has been named as the new bishop for the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston covering West Virginia, according to the Catholic Standard.
Father Gary Studniewski and Father Robert Boxie III have also been named as new auxiliary bishops for the Archdiocese of Washington.
Menjivar previously criticized the Trump administration's immigration policies, writing in the the National Catholic Reporter last April: "the federal government has pursued a 'shock and awe' campaign of aggressive threats and highly visible operations of questionable legality that go far beyond mere immigration 'enforcement.'"
Boxie previously expressed concern over Trump's efforts to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives across the U.S.
"In a lot of ways we have made great progress, but in so many ways, I feel like we're regressing," Boxie …More

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 14,1-6.
Jesus said to his disciples: "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me.
In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.
Where (I) am going you know the way."
Thomas said to him, "Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?"
Jesus said to him, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
