Spaghetti and meatballs isn’t an Italian dish But Naples, we have something better: “The cuzzitiello”! It didn’t start as street food It was a habit at home, almost always on Sunday morning, while mum or nonna made the ragù, the hungriest person in the family would take the still-warm “pane cafone”, pull out the crumb, and fill that crust with sauce and meatballs That heel of bread became a bowl Today, it is one of the classics of Neapolitan street food

Belle fête du Saint Nom de Marie ! 12 septembre : Mémoire du Saint Nom de MARIE (Sanctissimi Nominis Mariæ) Ce Nom vénérable était déjà honoré depuis longtemps par un culte spécial dans quelques parties du monde chrétien, lorsqu’une insigne victoire* fut remportée à Vienne en Autriche, par le secours de la Sainte Vierge Marie, sur le cruel sultan des Turcs, qui menaçait avec insulte de soumettre les peuples chrétiens à sa tyrannie mahométane. Après une fête accordée en 1683 par Sa Sainteté le Pape Innocent XI en action de grâce, Sa Sainteté le Pape Innocent XIII voulu perpétuer la mémoire d’un tel bienfait en ordonnant que cette fête soit célébrée chaque année dans l’Église universelle en 1721. Le Pape Saint Pie X fixa la fête au 12 septembre lors de la réforme du Bréviaire romain. Il était bien juste que le nom de Marie trouvât sa place, dans nos fêtes catholiques, à côté du nom de Jésus ; le nom de Marie est un nom glorieux, un nom tout aimable, un nom salutaire. Les saints se sont …More
Chiara Corbella war eine der sechzehn italienischen Frauen, die Giorgia Meloni in ihrer Antrittsrede vom 25. Oktober 2022 erwähnte, neben Nilde Iotti, Tina Anselmi, Grazia Deledda, Rita Levi Montalcini oder Oriana Fallaci. Petrillo antwortet, dass er es nicht erwartet habe, dass er sich geehrt fühle, dass er nie mit Meloni gesprochen habe noch sie kenne, und dass man sich daran erinnern solle, dass seine Frau ein ganz normales Mädchen war.
‘The Templar Rule Of Order’; ‘The Primitive Rule’; ‘The Names of the Fathers…’; pages 2 The original Latin Rule of Order was penned with the assistance of the young Cistercian Abbott, Bernard of Clairvaux. The rule is very similar to the modified Benedictine rule used by the Cistercian order. This makes perfect sense as the two orders were closely related and linked.

"...observances of their humble beginnings and of the one who said: Ego principium qui et loquor vobis, that is to say: 'I who speak to you am the beginning,'..."
"7. And also present was Brother Hugues de Payens, Master of the Knighthood, with some of his brothers whom he had brought with him. They were Brother Roland, Brother Godefroy, and Brother Geoffroi Bisot, Brother Payen de Montdidier, Brother Archambaut de Saint-Amand. The same Master Hugues with his followers related to the above-named fathers the customs and observances of their humble beginnings and of the one who said: Ego principium qui et loquor vobis, that is to say: 'I who speak to you am the beginning,' according to one's memory."
Canonisation cause opens for two Belfast priests A new case for the cause of canonisation of two Irish priests – who were shot dead in Belfast by the British Army – has been opened by the Diocese of Down and Connor.
La Diócesis de Down y Connor ha abierto oficialmente las causas de canonización de dos sacerdotes La Diócesis de Down y Connor ha abierto oficialmente las causas de canonización de los sacerdotes Hugh Mullan y Noel Fitzpatrick, dos valientes pastores que entregaron su vida en cumplimiento de su ministerio sacerdotal en Irlanda del Norte. En 1971, el padre Hugh Mullan fue alcanzado por disparos mientras administraba la Unción de los Enfermos a un herido. A pesar de llevar una bandera blanca como señal de paz y servicio religioso, fue abatido cobardemente por la espalda. Por su parte, el padre Noel Fitzpatrick entregó la vida en circunstancias similares al acudir en auxilio de una niña de 13 años gravemente herida, siendo alcanzado por las balas mientras le impartía los Últimos Ritos e intentaba brindarle consuelo espiritual. El testimonio de ambos sacerdotes refleja el amor supremo de quien da la vida por sus ovejas, permaneciendo fieles al altar y a los sacramentos en medio del dolor y …More
Canonisation cause opens for two Belfast priests A spokesman for the Diocese has told The Irish Catholic that the process for “the cause of the saints” has been started for Fr Hugh Mullan and Fr Noel Fitzpatrick. The two priests were shot dead in two separate incidents in the 1970s, while ministering the last rites to parishioners in Corpus Christi parish in Ballymurphy. “It is at the early stages,” he added, describing what he called “a long process”. The case was initiated by Bishop Alan McGuckian. The initial stage involves writing a dossier and then, in liaison with Rome, appointing someone to investigate and promote the cause. It also involves interviewing those who knew the priests and how they lived out the theological virtues such as faith, hope, and love. In 2022 another Irish priest, a Jesuit and army chaplain, Fr Willie Doyle, SJ was declared ‘a Servant of God’ – the first official stage in the path to sainthood. A prayer card in honour of Fr Mullan and Fr Fitzpatrick was …More
Forgiveness Frees Your Soul From Resentment The second reading emphasizes that we are called to live for others, not ourselves, and that forgiveness is a crucial aspect of this. Forgiveness is challenging, but it is essential for our own spiritual well-being and for aligning ourselves with Christ’s teachings. Holding onto anger and resentment only hurts us, not the person who wronged us. Forgiveness is a crucial aspect of Christian teaching, requiring one person to forgive and two to reconcile. A process of forgiveness involves asking the Holy Spirit for guidance, acknowledging the hurt, separating the person from their actions, and renouncing negative beliefs and judgments. This process culminates in asking Jesus for forgiveness, blessing the offender, and seeking healing for oneself. Fr.

The sky broke open over the Peruvian Amazon, and a teenage girl in a sleeveless summer dress fell out of it still buckled into her seat. She was seventeen. Her name was Juliane Koepcke, and on December 24, 1971, she was supposed to be spending Christmas with her father at a remote research station in the rainforest. She and her mother, Maria, had stayed behind in Lima for one very ordinary reason: Juliane wanted to attend her high school graduation ceremony. That small teenage decision is what put them on LANSA Flight 508 on Christmas Eve. The hop from Lima to Pucallpa was supposed to take about an hour. Roughly twenty-five minutes in, the Lockheed Electra flew into a wall of black weather. Turbulence emptied the overhead bins. Christmas parcels rolled down the aisle. People began to scream. Then lightning struck the aircraft, the right wing tore away, and the plane came apart in the air. Juliane remembered her mother saying, very quietly, that this was the end of everything. And then …More
The Infinite Ocean I remember when I was in highschool, the school took us to a catholic retreat, the confessional was open and it was my turn, an old priest was waiting, I sat down and pour my sins in the open, that confession was like any other... Repeat offender? Yeah, Did I want to get better? Sure, but the only thing I remember about this particular confession was what happened at the end... The priest took his hand and put it exactly where my heart is and said to me: "Remember this, Jesus loves you, He loves you." My heart started to burn, literally... The sensation or the feel of this fire burning my heart from the inside out was surprising yes, ethereal and magnific... There and then I knew Love. This actually happened to me, such an unworthy human being, no humility, no holiness, no nothing just a sad clown looking to roll with the world, while my Lord waited and waited and waited and still... waits on me, this sack of unworthiness, I wish the Love I was shown in my heart would've …More

September 13 Saint John Chrysostom. breski1 Bishop of Constantinople, Doctor of the Church (344-407)Saint John Chrysostom, born in Antioch in 344, was endowed with a superior genius strengthened by a brilliant education. In order to break with a world which admired and courted him, in 374 he retired for six years to a neighboring mountain, having found Christ through his friendship with Saint Basil. After acquiring the art of Christian silence, he returned to Antioch and there labored as a priest under the direction of its bishop. His eloquence was such that the entire city, up to a hundred thousand listeners, came to hear him, a young man not yet thirty years old. He fled this popularity and adopted the monastic life for fourteen years, until he was taken forcibly to Constantinople, to be consecrated Patriarch of the imperial city in 398. The effect of his sermons was everywhere marvelous. He converted a large number of pagans and heretics by his eloquence, then in its most brilliant …More
Cath intruth BENEDICT XVI GENERAL AUDIENCE Saint Peter's Square Wednesday, 19 September 2007 Saint John Chrysostom (1) Dear Brothers and Sisters, This year is the 16th centenary of St John Chrysostom's death (407-2007). It can be said that John of Antioch, nicknamed "Chrysostom", that is, "golden-mouthed", because of his eloquence, is also still alive today because of his works. An anonymous copyist left in writing that "they cross the whole globe like flashes of lightening". Chrysostom's writings also enable us, as they did the faithful of his time whom his frequent exiles deprived of his presence, to live with his books, despite his absence. This is what he himself suggested in a letter when he was in exile (To Olympias, Letter 8, 45). He was born in about the year 349 A.D. in Antioch, Syria (today Antakya in Southern Turkey). He carried out his priestly ministry there for about 11 years, until 397, when, appointed Bishop of Constantinople, he exercised his episcopal ministry in the …More
