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 …
I had Grok break down Trump’s EO, and there were some interesting points: 1) This EO includes the involvement of DHS creating state citizenship lists for every state. DHS’s role in election security is expanding. 2) Mail-in ballots are being reformed, with “unique intelligent mail barcodes”, and these ballots can only be mailed to citizens on the state citizenship lists created by DHS and SSA. 3) The order also directs the AG to prioritize investigations and prosecutions of election-related crimes, particularly related to distributing/collecting illegal ballots to/from non-citizens. In conclusion, Trump is using DHS to secure elections via managing the voter rolls and preventing mail-in ballot fraud, while the DOJ has been instructed to prosecute any attempts to cheat. This is what the Dems have been worried about the entire time. This is why they have been refusing to fund DHS and throwing a fit about ICE. It was always about election security. BioClandestine
I found this one of the clearest summaries of what took place concerning election integrity. It’s not an option, not a choice but rather a decision to save the republic and by extension other peoples. It is my opinion that the Church is directly impacted as well.
"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

Sulaiman Ahmed @ShaykhSulaiman BREAKING: Iran's FM Araghchi on the Strait of Hormuz: It is not in international waters. It is the internal waters of Iran and Oman. The strait is currently open and is closed only to those who are at war with Iran. For many of them, especially those from friendly countries, we have put arrangements in place so they can pass through the strait safely. Some countries have passed through the strait after reaching an agreement with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz can be a waterway of peace, enabling the calm passage of ships from all countries. x.com/ShaykhSulaiman/status/2039345578287550503
Examine Your Heart: Where Do You Resist? The suffering of the Lord and the martyrs challenge the notion that God would never allow suffering. We must conform ourselves to God’s will, even when it contradicts our own desires, as exemplified by Jesus’ prayer in the garden. By examining our own betrayals and rebellions against God’s teachings, we can find grace and strength to embrace our crosses and follow Him. Fr.

I love the beginning. Noticed the American people who are against the war? They are telling us it's not us but trump who wants the war. They know we don't want it. Therefore, it's not us they want to destroy. Then you see the W.H. being blown up. NOT THE PEOPLE! Just the white house. They are warning trump who ever he sends to Iran will die and all things we send will be destroyed. This and the other video are so obvious in what they are telling us.
This confirms what I said in the last video. They want our government to go down. Not the people. Those who attack Iran will be attacked. But their eyes are on our government and the loser in control right now The slogan has historically been contextualized as a reaction to the t"US GOVERNMENT'S policies towards Islamic counties and merely an expression of outrage at those policies, not a wish for literal death for American people themselves. In a speech to university students, Iran's former supreme leader Ali Khamenei interpreted the slogan as "death to the U.S.'s policies, death to ARROGANCE"!
Gethsemane in Jerusalem is the place where the Passion of Christ began. In this short video, you see the olive garden, the Basilica of the Agony, and the stone venerated as the place where Jesus prayed in deep agony before his arrest and crucifixion. Gethsemane - Where the Passion of Christ Began
The Garden of Gethsemane was purchased in 1681 by three brothers, Bosniak Croats from Sarajevo — Pavao, Antun, and Jakov Branković. They bought the land from its then Ottoman owners and, out of deep devotion, donated it to the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land. Since then, the Franciscans have cared for this sacred place, preserving it for Christians around the world.
Od sveg hodočašća kroz Svetu Zemlju, prije 13 godina, što je doista kao da hodimo kroz peto Evanđelje... neuporedivo me je se dojmio dodir kamena u Getsemanskom vrtu. Kada sam stavio ruku na taj kamen na kojem je Isusova Muka počela bijah potrešen i duboko ganut, što nikako riječima ne bih uspio objasniti.

"The Lebanese army was our guarantee and gave us strength," Fadi Falfil, a priest in Debel, told Reuters from his hometown. The withdrawal "created a feeling of insecurity among the people", he said. Trust in God's providence!

Lukas Ekwueme @ekwufinance Little reminder: After Germany blew up their nuclear power plant cooling towers, last year they blew up one of their biggest coal power plants. Right in time for the biggest energy crisis in history to hit… The coal plant was: - Only 6 years old - Cost €3 billion - Produced 1,650 MW Germany is doing everything in its power to create a perpetual energy crisis. x.com/ekwufinance/status/2038657706819543122
Four days ago, Pope Leo XIV praised Christian-Muslim “dialogue” during Wednesday’s meeting with the Programme for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa. On Palm Sunday, dozens of Christians were slaughtered in Northern Nigeria.
On March 28, a Lenten pilgrimage organized by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) was denied entry to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows in Cuceglio, near Turin, Italy. Despite being announced in advance, the church doors remained closed to the group, which included priests, religious sisters, and families who had walked several kilometers in devotion. The pilgrims had planned no Mass or formal liturgy - only a few concluding prayers. According to the local newspaper La Voce, the decision to close the gates to the pilgrims was made by the rector of the sanctuary, Don Luca Meinardi, and by Bishop Daniele Salera of Ivrea. The newspaper comments: "A choice that inevitably contradicts an ecclesiastical vocabulary which, in recent years, has emphasized words like welcome, inclusion, dialogue, and mercy." #newsSuicuzlbcj
It appears that Our Lady of Sorrows is being held hostage. The Diocese of Ivrea is now in control of this facility. When visiting the Diocese's web page, I noted a video of their service with the main cheese in charge. They all proceed in - None of them kiss the Altar. The Bishop of Ivrea (Diocese of Ivrea) is Daniele Salera. He was appointed by Pope Francis on December 16, 2024, succeeding Bishop Edoardo Aldo Cerrato Diocesi di Ivrea
