Acts 4:23-31 "Peter, filled with the holy Spirit." The purpose of human existence is to discover the Holy Spirit within. Let us rediscover the childlike joy within us. Let us remain in the joy of God. John 3:1-8 Jesus said, "No one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit." Let’s realize that the Holy Spirit, God, is the answer to everything. Let us return to what is simple and joyful. We will discover more with the childlike joy within us than by overloading ourselves with information. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
12.04.2026 POPE LEO INTERPRETS VATICAN COUNCIL II SCHISMATICALLY WITH THE LG 16 VISIBLE HERESY : CHANGES THE CREEDS AT HOLY MASS Pope Francis did not tell Fr. Stefano Mannelli F.I that Vatican Council II supports Tradition.Pope Leo does not tell the SSPX that Cardinal Fernandez is in schism. A nihil obstat and imprimatur are needed for Karl Rahner's books but also that of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger published by Igantius Press. Why go for Pope Leo’s Holy Mass when he has changed the understanding of the Creeds, Councils and Catechisms and no cardinal, bishop or priest can defend him? Any journalist an confirm that with the LG 16 visible mistake, Pope Leo’s understanding of the Athanasius, Nicene and Apostles Creed is not the same as it was for the saints Augustine and Aquinas. There is also a rupture with the dogma extra cclesiam nulla salus of the Magisterium of the 16th century, for example. There is a schismatic break with the Magisterium of the Middle Ages. On abortion, Pope Leo has …More
Late one evening, an old traveler arrived at a small farmhouse and asked for a place to stay the night. "You’re welcome to stay, there's plenty of room. But I’ll be honest—we don’t have much to offer for dinner," the farmer said grimly. "Don't worry about that. All I need is a roof over my head," the old man explained. "I’ve been visiting my daughter, and now I’m making the long journey back to the city." The farmer’s wife looked at the guest, her face clouded with sadness. "I’m so sorry we can't host you properly. Our son’s legs were badly frostbitten last winter, and now he can’t walk. Every penny we have goes toward his treatment, but nothing seems to help." The old man stayed the night, and the next morning, he asked to see the boy. He carefully examined the young man’s swollen, lifeless legs. "You know," the traveler said, "when I reached my daughter’s house, my own legs were aching from the long road. She treated them with a healing salve and even gave me a jar to take home." …More
U.S. Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke has downplayed reports of growing tensions between the Vatican and the U.S. administration of Donald Trump. In an interview with IlGiornale.it on April 11, he stated that “the narrative of an ongoing clash is exaggerated”. Leo XIV “has invited everyone to work for peace, as he rightly should.” Regarding the attacks and bombings of Iran, Cardinal Burke thinks: “One may have differing views on how to address the problem, but one certainly cannot think that the situation in Iran was good prior to the attacks by the United States and Israel. I believe that, in his view, Trump also has peace as his goal - meaning he seeks to restore internal peace in Iran and in its relations with other nations. This is because the regime represents a nuclear threat to both its neighbors and others.” He also added that he prays “for the freedom of the Iranian people, who have suffered for too many years at the hands of the ayatollahs’ regime.” Cardinal Burke continued: “…More

Before Seminaries Were Simplified: The Step by Step Making of a Priest Before the Second Vatican Council Let’s just sit down and walk through this slowly, because this is one of those topics where modern Catholics hear the terms and think “yeah I kind of know that,” but when you actually unpack it, it’s way more structured, way more ancient, and honestly way more intense than people realize. So first, you have to understand that in the traditional life of the Church before everything got streamlined after Second Vatican Council becoming a priest wasn’t just “go to seminary, get ordained.” It was a step by step ascent through what were called the minor orders and major orders, almost like climbing a ladder, and each rung actually did something to you spiritually and liturgically. You didn’t just wake up one day as “Father.” You were formed into it, layer by layer. It all began with TONSURE. Now this is something most Catholics today have never even seen. Tonsure was the rite where …More
"These then were Christ's inward virtues: humility, charity, and patient endurance. These three virtues Christ our Bridegroom practised all His life, and He died with them, and paid our debt according to justice. And of His generosity He has opened His side. From there flow out the rivers of well-being and the sacraments of bliss."
[BLESSED JAN VAN RUYSBROEK – XIII-XIV Century AD; Ruisbroek, Holy Roman Empire/ Groenendael, Holy Roman Empire; Mystic, Spiritual Writer, Doctor Divinus Ecstaticus] “Chapter V ~ OF PATIENT ENDURANCE The third point is patient endurance. We should mark this point carefully, for it adorned Christ our Bridegroom all His life. For His sufferings began very early, as soon as He was born; they began with poverty and cold. Then He was circumcised and shed His blood; He was driven to a strange country; He served the lord Joseph and His mother; He suffered hunger and thirst, shame and contempt, the vile words and works of the Jews. He fasted, He watched, and He was tempted by the devil. He was subject to all men; He wandered from country to country, from town to town, with much labour and great zeal, that He might preach the Gospel. At last He was taken prisoner by the Jews, who were His enemies, though He was their friend. He was betrayed, mocked and insulted, scourged and buffeted, and …More
The Exact Moment Jesus Rose From the Dead: What Really Happened Inside the Tomb on Easter Morning Let’s talk about the Resurrection today. But I don’t want to just talk about the broad theological concept, I want to get into the absolute, gritty, miraculous reality of how Jesus actually rose from the dead at that precise millisecond on Easter morning. If you’re a Catholic and you’re curious about the literal mechanics of the Resurrection, you really need to understand what the Tradition of the Catholic Church actually teaches. And what’s absolutely fascinating is how modern science is actually coming around to back this up. We have to get past this modernist, flannel-graph Sunday School version of the Resurrection and look at the deep tradition. First things first: Jesus didn’t just wake up, stretch, unwrap Himself, and walk out of the tomb like Lazarus. Look at the raising of Lazarus. Christ stands outside the tomb and says, “Lazarus, come out!” and the guy basically shuffles out,…More
This is the priest who died on the Titanic to hear confessions and administer last rites. Given the opportunity to board a lifeboat on two separate occasions, Father Thomas Byles firmly declined. He chose instead to stay behind, absolving sins and consoling the doomed passengers. Following the vessel's collision with the iceberg, he assembled the remaining crowds on the aft deck. Those who lived through the disaster recalled him standing bravely amid the panic, listening to confessions, granting collective absolution, and reciting the Rosary right up until the ocean claimed the stern. This is the type of story we should elevate, heroic virtue. May the Lord bless us with more holy men possessing the courage of Father Thomas Byles.
I was just mentioning him to my coworkers recently! What a true hero! Those locked in steerage were blessed to have the last rites! It was better for them to save their souls then end up losing them in the States! My blood boils when I think of those Catholics being murdered!

These are not direct talks, as the U.S. has the unpleasant habit of simply assassinating Iranian mediators. The Vice President of the United States is in no danger. Iran is a civilized country. It is the United States that has broken with a millennia-old tradition according to which envoys, even those of the enemy, are inviolable. The mediators from the two negotiating countries are not sitting face to face at a table. The children from the elementary school in Minab who were martyred, accompanied by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf—the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament—during the flight to Islamabad. “Iran has no cards to play,” claims the self-centered U.S. president. I, on the other hand, can point to several advantages that work in Iran’s favor. A breach of Israel’s defense line and the American warships supporting it. Israeli sources report that 80% of Iranian missiles …
The anti-Catholic Robert Prevost, in his continued rebellion against God and the Church, appoints the apostate Claudio Pablo Castricone—an ally of the anti-Catholic Bergoglio—to the former diocese of the homosexual Zanchetta.
On 10 April, Pope Leo XIV appointed Monsignor Claudio Pablo Castricone as coadjutor bishop of the diocese of Orán in Argentina. Born on 16 April 1958 in Villa Constitución, he was ordained a priest in 1984. Monsignor Castricone has openly identified with Francis’s destructive programme for decades. The article's photograph shows him meeting Cardinal Bergoglio in Misiones, northern Argentina, in 2007. Diocese of Orán: Ruined by Homosexual Leadership The diocese of Orán is famous because it was led by the homosexual Gustavo Oscar Zanchetta, another close associate of Francis, from 2013 to 2017. In 2017, Francis accepted Zanchetta’s resignation for 'health reasons' and soon after appointed him to a Vatican financial role. It later emerged that priests had reported Zanchetta to Rome for possessing pornographic images of young men on his phone. He was also notorious for financial misconduct and abuse of authority. In 2022, he was convicted by an Argentine court of homosexually abusing two …More
"St. Joseph could not entirely conceal his grief: thus he often found himself pensive, sad, and in reverie. Pre-occupied by his sorrows, he sometimes spoke to his spouse with more harshness than formerly. But this was neither from indignation nor vengeance, for he had no such thought—it was merely the effect inseparable from a wounded heart. Our most prudent Lady, on her part, changed nothing in her sweet - manners; on the contrary, she took greater pains than ever to comfort her spouse. She served him at table, or offered him a seat. Without doubt, this painful season was one of those which most exercised not only St. Joseph but our blessed Lady. Our incomparable queen offered continual supplications for her spouse to the Most High, that He would vouchsafe to regard and console him. In order better to understand the profound humility and the sublime wisdom of the august Mary in these circumstances, it should be understood that the Lord had not commanded her to keep the secret of the …More
[Venerable Mary of Agreda – XVII Century AD; Agreda, Spain; Mystic; Writer; ‘Blue Nun’] “Chapter III ~ 8T. JOSEPH DISCOVERS THAT MARY IS ABOUT TO BECOME A MOTHER, WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO PENETRATE THE MYSTERY. HE ENDURES GREAT SUFFERINGS ON THIS ACCOUNT. Saint Joseph persevered in his supplications and united with them many other affections and prayers. He thought there must be in all this some mystery, but his humility hindered him from being assured on this point. All the reasons that presented themselves in favor of the holiness of our most sweet Lady, contributed only to persuade him that she had committed no fault. At the same time the saint never thought of her being the mother of the Messiah, for he could not have believed himself worthy to be her spouse. Sometimes he suspended his suspicions, at others appearances augmented them. Sometimes he was overwhelmed by agitation; sometimes in an aching calm, without power to resolve or to believe anything. He could neither vanquish his …More
