Msgr. Indunil Kankanamalage, Secretary of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue, attended the Tri Hita Karana Universal Reflection Ceremony in Bali. It was “anchored by an interfaith prayer” and included a Bumi Bajra performance featuring a Barong from Ubud Palace and what they called “sacred rhythms.” Barong is a lion-like ceremonial representation of a supernatural protector in Balinese Hindu tradition, closely associated with Balinese religious and ritual life.
Honoring Idol Barong in Bali: The Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue participated in a gathering in Indonesia organized by Scholas Occurrentes and United in Diversity.
Leo XIV-appointed Archbishop Richard Moth of Westminster, England, approaches 'Traditionis Custodes' from what he describes as a pastoral perspective, “Where there is pastoral need, then I would make the argument for it,” he told NcRegister.com on September 10. In his previous Diocese of Arundel and Brighton, he said he “responded to that pastoral need.” Archbishop Moth believes that we need a greater sense of the transcendent in the liturgy, but believes this is “perfectly possible” using the Novus Ordo. Asked about an expected meeting with Catholic Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who is supports abortion and homosexual "marriage", Archbishop Moth replied evasively: “A conversation I would have with somebody about their conscience is between me and that individual,” he said. “If particular issues are raised, I would speak about them and address them, yes.” Moth also calls it “very positive” that Burnham has raised the need to improve palliative care in the context of the assisted-suicide …More
September 10th - Saint of the Day: Saint Pulcheria, Empress & Virgin She ruled an empire at 15. She took a vow no one expected. And she saved a truth the whole Church still confesses today. Saint Pulcheria was the granddaughter of Theodosius the Great, regent of the Eastern Roman Empire as a teenager, and a consecrated virgin who turned the imperial palace into a house of prayer. When a powerful patriarch attacked Mary's title "Mother of God," Pulcheria fought back and won at the Council of Ephesus. When heresy took over her brother's court, she was exiled from power, until the throne returned to her and she made the Council of Chalcedon possible, the council that defined who Jesus Christ truly is. The bishops acclaimed her "the new Helena." She died after giving every last thing she owned to the poor. Discover her full story, her hidden battles, and what her life says to yours at HolyManna.blog, where you'll also find daily saints, Mass reading reflections, and more. …More
Santa Pulcheria Imperatrice - Festa: 10 settembre Costantinopoli, 19 gennaio 399 – luglio 453 Figlia degli imperatori d'Oriente Arcadio ed Eudocia, Pulcheria nacque nel 399 a Costantinopoli. Ancora bambina perse i due genitori, e fino al conseguimento della maggiore età del fratello Teodosio II (detto "il Calligrafo") fu reggente dell'impero. Alquanto autoritaria, compì il proprio dovere con estrema religiosità e consacrò la sua verginità al Signore. Ebbe un ruolo determinante nelle nozze del fratello convincendolo a sposare la greca Atenia. Dopo la morte del fratello, nel 450, Pulcheria, diventata imperatrice, sposò il senatore Marciano con il patto che rispettasse la sua verginità. Ebbe un ruolo determinante nella sconfitta del nestorianesimo, e per questo fu canonizzata. La sua festa si celebra il 10 settembre. Il suo culto in Occidente ebbe nuovo impulso con papa Benedetto XIV il quale, colpito dal valore del suo casto matrimonio, con un decreto del 2 febbraio 1752 lo estese in …More
Saint Gorgonius & Companions | Christians Inside Emperor Diocletian’s Palace | September 9 Today, September 9, we remember Saint Gorgonius of Nicomedia and his companions, including Saint Dorotheus and Saint Peter, martyrs associated with the imperial household of the Roman Emperor Diocletian. Their story takes us inside the palace of the emperor who would unleash one of the Roman Empire's fiercest persecutions of Christianity. They served an earthly emperor. But when forced to choose, their ultimate loyalty belonged to another King: Jesus Christ. CHRISTIANS INSIDE DIOCLETIAN'S PALACE Gorgonius and Dorotheus are remembered in ancient Christian tradition as important members of Diocletian's household at Nicomedia, in present-day Türkiye. Another Christian remembered among the martyrs of the imperial household was Peter, traditionally described as a chamberlain or servant — sometimes called Peter the Butler. Then, in 303, the Great Persecution began. Christians were pressured to …More
San Gorgonio di Roma Martire - Festa: 9 settembre † Roma, III-IV sec. La sua memoria è infatti attestata già nel Cronografo del 354, dove la Depositio Martyrum lo ricorda il 9 settembre con una breve indicazione topografica: Gorgonio era venerato sulla via Labicana. Il suo sepolcro si trovava nel grande complesso funerario noto come ad Duas Lauros, presso l'area cimiteriale poi associata ai santi Pietro e Marcellino. Non è stata conservata una passio antica che racconti la sua vita, la professione, l'arresto o le circostanze della morte. Per questo motivo, le notizie che lo presentano come ufficiale della corte dell'imperatore Diocleziano e lo associano ai martiri Doroteo e Pietro di Nicomedia non possono essere riferite con sicurezza al Gorgonio romano. Si tratta di una confusione agiografica sviluppatasi nel Medioevo tra due martiri omonimi. La sua importanza storica risiede dunque soprattutto nell'antichità del culto. Gorgonio era già venerato nel IV secolo e fu ricordato anche in …More
Ma plein @maximumpain333 Dr. Hulda Clark was a pioneer in parasite cleansing. Long before internet trends, she wrote books like The Cure For All Cancers (1993) and The Cure For All Diseases (1995). In this 2000 interview, she explained something that challenged the way many people think about illness. She believed parasites were far more common than most people realized. And that addressing them was a foundational step in supporting the body’s own healing. Now, with the cyclospora outbreak, her work is more relevant than ever. She pointed to 3 specific herbs used together: Wormwood — traditionally used to help create an inhospitable environment for parasites Cloves (fresh ground) — historically used to address parasite eggs Green Black Walnut Hull — long used in herbal systems to support intestinal balance But she took it even further than parasites. She believed these same herbs, combined with an electrical treatment, were powerfully healing for the c-word.
"So that the soul that has denied and thrust away from itself the pleasures which come from all these things, and has mortified its desire with respect to them, may be said to be, as it were, in the darkness of night, which is naught else than an emptiness within itself of all things."
[Saint John of the Cross – XVI Century AD; born: Fontiveros, Crown of Castile, Spanish Monarchy/died: Ubeda, Crown of Castile, Spanish Monarchy; (Aged 49); Priest, Mystic, Writer, Doctor of the Church] “BOOK THE FIRST: Wherein is described the nature of dark night and how necessary it is to pass through it to Divine union; and in particular this book describes the dark night of sense, and desire, and the evils which these work in the soul. Chapter III ~ Speaks of the first cause of this night, which is that of the privation of the desire in all things, and gives the reason for which it is called night. WE here describe as night the privation of every kind of pleasure which belongs to the desire; for, even as night is naught but the privation of light, and, consequently, of all objects that can be seen by means of light, whereby the visual faculty remains unoccupied and in darkness, even so likewise the mortification of desire may be called night to the soul. For, when the soul is deprived …More
A 35-year-old was arrested after entering a French church, shouting “Allahu Akbar” and asking for the priest. Police detained him inside Saint-Rémi church in Forbach after two 14-year-olds raised the alarm. Prosecutors say he carried an Opinel-type knife, which he never brandished, three SIM cards and cannabis resin.
I am no longer shocked at this. The people have themselves to blame because they have not stopped the illegals from invading, nor have they held their governments responsible.
Thinking Like a Saint: Fr. Timothy Gallagher on Consolation, Desolation, & God's Will "Discernment begins when we understand our inner stirrings—recognizing what is from God and what is from the enemy." Renowned author and spiritual director Fr. Timothy Gallagher, OMV joins CatholicTV to discuss Thinking Like a Saint. Why is it so difficult to hear God's voice through the constant noise and distractions of modern life? Returning to CatholicTV after more than two decades, Father Timothy Gallagher, OMV steps into the living room on This Is the Day to unpack the timeless wisdom of Saint Ignatius of Loyola and his new book, Thinking Like a Saint. Fr. Gallagher explains that the spiritual life is naturally filled with ups and downs. Drawing from 40 years of teaching, he breaks down the essential dynamics of Spiritual Consolation (when God feels close and prayer is full of life) and Spiritual Desolation (when prayer feels dry, heavy, and difficult). Rather than leaving us stranded in these …More
Sisters Lana and Bana Ahmed were killed with their parents in Beit Lahia, north Gaza, during an Israeli attack last night. No more first day of school. No future to chase. They become part of the over 21,000 children Israel has killed since October 2023. facebook.com/share/p/1CAQJAqnqT/
Toxic indeed. Although, I suspect some of these are, no doubt, 'protected' by some form of governmental legislation and/or contractual arbitration depending upon the 'circumstances'. Unions have largely betrayed their original worthy and essential purposes.
"Ne sacrifiez pas votre jeunesse sur l’autel des plaisirs factices" « Ne sacrifiez pas votre jeunesse si précieuse sur l’autel des plaisirs factices et de la superficialité ». C’est l’invitation de Léon XIV aux participants à la première Journée de la jeunesse d’Afrique de l’Ouest, réunis ces jours-ci à Accra, au Ghana. Dans un message vidéo rendu public ce 8 septembre 2026, le pape les appelle à être « l’aujourd’hui de Dieu » et de l’Église, en devenant des artisans de paix et de changement.

Can you hear Him? Can you hear His sweet Words echoing through the wind, traveling through time, reaching everywhere, staying true to His promise on how things should pass away, but His Words would never. More than 2,000 years ago Jesus spoke about Almighty Father wanting Mercy and Justice in order to for us to have a rich spiritual life... Many Powerful yet Sweet Words: "blessed the merciful as they shall receive Mercy, blessed those who hunger and thrist for righteousness, they will be filled", among all the other beatitudes key themes needed to go strive for perfection, you know, like humility, meekness, pureness of heart, compassion, accepting persecution in His Name and embracing joy for all of these happening in your life once accepting Jesus as Lord, although the two key ones for salvation, Mercy and Justice are the most twisted by our Lord’s enemies today. Our Lord’s left Arm is Mercy and His right Arm is Justice, as He is Divine Love like apostle John says, I repeat, God is Love …More
10.09.2026 RATIONAL VERSION OF THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH III. THE CHURCH IS CATHOLIC ⇡ The Church and non-Christians ⇡ 845 To reunite all his children, scattered and led astray by sin, the Father willed to call the whole of humanity together into his Son's Church. The Church is the place where humanity must rediscover its unity and salvation. The Church is "the world reconciled." She is that bark which "in the full sail of the Lord's cross, by the breath of the Holy Spirit, navigates safely in this world." According to another image dear to the Church Fathers, she is prefigured by Noah's ark, which alone saves from the flood.334 St. Augustine, Serm. 96,7,9:PL 38,588; St. Ambrose, De virg. 18 118:PL 16,297B; cf. already 1 Pet 3:20-21. III. THE CHURCH IS CATHOLIC ⇡ "Outside the Church there is no salvation" 846 How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers?335 Re-formulated positively, it means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head …More
