Saint Marina the Monk | A Story of Humility and Hidden Holiness | Feast Day June 18th Today we remember Marina the Monk, whose feast day is celebrated on June 18. According to ancient Christian tradition, Marina desired to dedicate her life completely to God. After the death of her mother, she accompanied her father into monastic life. To remain with him, she lived in the monastery under the name "Marinus." Years later, Marina was falsely accused of wrongdoing. Although innocent, she accepted humiliation and suffering without revealing her identity or seeking revenge. She endured rejection, hardship, and misunderstanding with remarkable patience and trust in God. Only after her death was the truth discovered. The monks who had judged her realized the depth of her holiness and faithfulness. She is remembered for: Humility Patience during suffering Forgiveness and trust Hidden holiness Saint Marina's life reminds us that God sees the truth even when others do not. She …More
Ancient Chaldean Church vandalized in Northern Iraq: The historic Mar Kiriakos Chaldean Catholic Church in the village of Sharanish, near Zakho in northern Iraq, was recently vandalized. Videos released in mid-June 2026 show damage inside the church. Mar Kiriakos, believed to be more than 400 years old, is one of two historic Chaldean Catholic churches in Sharanish. No perpetrators have yet been publicly identified.
Ancient Chaldean Church vandalized in Northern Iraq | Shalom World News An ancient witness of Chaldean Christian faith in Iraq has been desecrated in Sharanish, a historic Christian village near Zakho, close to the Iraq–Turkey border. Video from inside Mar Kiriakos Church shows extensive vandalism, with sacred spaces damaged and church property destroyed. The incident has left the local community mourning the incident, which is another blow to a village that has endured years of instability and displacement. Sharanish, home to the Chaldean churches of Mart Shmune and Mar Kiriakos, remains a symbol of the ancient Christian presence in Mesopotamia. As investigations continue, the faithful hold on to a message carried through centuries: a wounded church can still be a living testimony of faith.
Churches in communion with Rome Who are the Christians of Iraq? A long history … After periods of Mongol, Turkoman, and Safavid rule, Mesopotamia fell under the Ottomans, whose empire lasted until the First World War in the early 20th century. It was during the Ottoman period that the East and West Syriac Churches – the Chaldean Catholic Church and the Syriac (or Syrian) Catholic Church, respectively – were formed. The Syriac Catholic Church was created when a Jacobite patriarch united with Rome in the 18th century. The Bishops who did not enter into full communion with Rome formed the Syriac Orthodox Church. Today’s Chaldean Catholic Church dates from 1830, when the historical patriarchate of the Church of the East was united with an earlier Chaldean branch created in the 17th century. An even-earlier Chaldean union from the 16th century subsequently separated from Rome and developed into what are today the Assyrian Church of the East and the Ancient Church of the East. Rich history …More

Two videos on Fatima and Russia with John Vennari and Father Gruner. -------- I have left some things below which is important as well as the video's. They go hand in hand. Please read it. Many Catholics have learned a lot about Russia and Putin. We followed their laws and watched and heard many things President Putin said and did. This is why many live or moving to Russia. Mainly those from the SSPX. Not only to escape persecution but because Russia is the only country in the world that fights against all evils trying to destroy the world. In one of the videos Father Gruner says something I have tried to explain. Especially to one person more than once. ------- Our Lady is paving the way for The Consecration! She is preparing her by and with President Putin who brought the faith back to the people. Leading them bravely against the evils of the West and US. ------- President Putin while he is President will never allow his country to be taken over by any evil of communism, socialism, …More
The Bishop of Aberdeen has warned Catholics not to attend the planned episcopal consecration of Fr Michael Mary on Papa Stronsay, saying any such ordination would be unlawful and a grave act of disobedience
18/06/2026News Today news has reached the Diocese of Aberdeen that the Superior General of the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer, V. Rev. Fr Michael Mary, F. Ss.R, intends to be consecrated as a bishop on 25th July on the island of Papa Stronsay in Orkney. This ordination would be celebrated without a papal mandate, by a group of bishops who deny that Our Holy Father Pope Leo XIV is actually the pope. Since this consecration is due to take place within the geographical boundaries of the Diocese of Aberdeen, I am obliged to make clear to the faithful of the Diocese that any such episcopal ordination would be unlawful and a grave act of disobedience, separating those taking part from communion with the Catholic Church. No member of the faithful should attend. This action is not “for the good of the Catholic Church” as is falsely claimed. This development is greatly to be regretted and we can only pray that those concerned have a change of heart. +Hugh Gilbert OSB
The homosexual group Outreach, founded and led by the homosexual activist James Martin SJ, organises its annual conference on June 19-21 at the Jesuit-run Georgetown University. From 2021 to 2024, Francis sent an endorsement message. In 2026, two US Cardinals support the homosexual conference. Outreach published endorsement letters by Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington and Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago (below). Cardinal McElroy wrote on June 19 that he is “delighted” to welcome the homosexual group in Washington, adding: “For I know that the Holy Spirit will be profoundly present in our meetings and discussions at this key time in the history of our Church and our nation.” He wrote that the conference is taking place “at a moment when the pastoral foundations laid by Pope Francis for authentic ministry to and with the LGBT community are being deepened and refined by Pope Leo.” Cardinal McElroy further stressed that the conference comes “directly after the release of Study …More
Peru President announces Pope Leo visit after Vatican meeting | Shalom World News ope Leo met with the President of the Republic of Peru, José María Balcázar Zelada, at the Vatican, holding continued discussions for strengthening ties between the Holy See and Peru. Following the meeting, President Balcázar announced that Pope Leo will visit Peru in November, with a possible stay of up to 10 days. The reported itinerary includes Lima, the city of Chiclayo — where Pope Leo, then Cardinal Robert Prevost, served as bishop — and other dioceses. Meanwhile, the Vatican is yet to officially announce the papal journey. The visit would carry a special significance, as Pope Leo has a deep connection with Peru, having been ordained bishop of Chiclayo and later obtaining Peruvian citizenship in 2015.

Thu Jun 18, 2026 - 4:56 pm EDTThu Jun 18, 2026 - 9:31 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Over the past decade, many in the international press have openly wondered how Canada’s euthanasia regime went off the rails so swiftly and so grotesquely that other nations have decided against legalizing assisted suicide for fear of turning into Canada. There are, of course, many answers to that question, but one cannot be emphasized enough: Canada had essentially no open debate on assisted suicide in the press. After Canada’s Supreme Court magically discovered a “right to die” (in the right to life), the press celebrated. As legislation was debated, anti-euthanasia voices were conspicuously absent and ignored (with the lonely exception of Andrew Coyne, then at the National Post). In fact, when I turned on the CBC in my car one evening in a fit of apparent masochism in 2016 and heard them announce a debate on assisted suicide, I wondered who would be representing the pro-life side. The debate turned out …

The York Revolution is an American professional baseball team based in York, Pennsylvania. It is a member of the North Division of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, an independent "partner league" of Major League Baseball.
A Pennsylvania minor league baseball team has forfeited a scheduled game after several players refused to wear special jerseys planned for the organization’s annual Pride Night event. The York Revolution announced Tuesday that its June 18 game against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs would not be played after multiple players objected to wearing uniforms created for the promotion. “It is with great disappointment that the York Revolution have issued important changes to our 11th Annual Pride Night on Thursday, June 18,” the team said in a statement. “Most significantly, the scheduled game between York and Southern Maryland will not be played and Pride will still be hosted as a free admission event.” According to the team, several players informed club officials they would not participate if required to wear the Pride Night jerseys. Rather than compel players to wear the uniforms, the organization opted to cancel the game while proceeding with the event. “Unfortunately, several of …

Pope Leo Honors Cardinal Camillo Ruini at Funeral VATICAN CITY — Pope Leo XIV presided Thursday over the funeral rites for Cardinal Camillo Ruini, remembering him as a servant of the Church who “knew how to guide the people of God.” The funeral liturgy took place June 18 at the Altar of the Chair in St. Peter’s Basilica, two days after Ruini died late Tuesday, June 16. Several cardinals, archbishops, and bishops were present to bid farewell to one of the most prominent figures of the Italian Church. “For many years he served the Church, carrying out with the same dedication both the humblest tasks and those most laden with responsibility that the Lord wished to entrust to him,” Pope Leo said in his homily. The pope recalled Ruini’s long and influential ecclesial service, pointing in particular to the initiatives that “left a deep mark on the journey of the ecclesial community and also on civil society.” Among them, Leo cited Ruini’s “Cultural Project,” his efforts to promote the …More
Leo XIV is considering declaring all members of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) schismatics, TribuneChrétienne.com reported on 19 June, citing anonymous sources: "According to several observers familiar with the matter, the document currently being prepared at the Vatican could go much further than some imagine. It would not merely acknowledge a rupture affecting the bishops or superiors of the FSSPX. The repercussions could extend to the entire structure, including its approximately 700 priests, seminaries, apostolates and the faithful who regularly attend its chapels around the world." The bishops' ordinations are scheduled for 1 July, with Bishop Alfonso de Galarreta as the principal consecrator and Bishop Bernard Fellay as the co-consecrator. For weeks, rumours about the excommunication of all members of the FSSPX have persisted on various Catholic news blogs and among journalists. #newsYcngrgqppe
What would the excommunication mean? The excommunication in 1988 of the four bishops was lifted by Benedict without the bishop's admitting wrongdoing. Francis later gave the SSPX faculties for hearing confessions. What did that 1988 excommunication really mean, and what will this one mean?

The seasonal winter sermons of the preacher and proclaimer of the divine Word, interpreter of sacred scripture and most subtle professor, Saint Vincent, confessor of Valencia, of the Order of Preachers, happily begin.

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord," (Mt 21:9). We have prescribed for today's gospel this text from Mt 21. This Sunday is one of the greater Sundays of the entire year, because it is the first Sunday of the Coming (Adventus) of the Lord.

"And pride is the foundation of all sins. V.g. Why is someone avaricious? It is from pride, because he does not wish to obey the precept of God saying, "You should not lust," or "not commit thefts" etc. Why is someone lustful? Is it not from pride, because he does not wish to obey the precept, "You shall not commit fornication?" Same for gluttony and the other sins. Authority: "Pride is the beginning of all sin," (Sir 10:15). Therefore Christ comes in great humility to reform us, like a servant in administering to us the works of redemption through human incarnation."
The problems they are causing Russia is never ending. And Russia still remains human and not destroy the world for all the abuse they give them for many decades.
@giveusthisday Everyone and anyone who wants to wipe the Russian people out. NATO, EU, US Remember when lindsey graham said, best money we ever spent killing Russians. They said that zelensky edited it. When in fact he did say it. But said two different things at two different times. But he did say it. They have 40 or 50 biolabs in Ukraine. That's 1/3 of the labs in the world. Placed in Ukraine. I posted about it as well as others. They are there specifically to kill and wipe out the Russian people. It's all been planned long ago. At first to destroy and break up Russia. Now it's just to wipe them out. All because President Putin AND the Russian people will not join the ranks of evil. I just posted a bit about it about a half hour ago. Father Gruner and John Vennari. But we know those things will never happen. But they with their hatred and pride think they can.
Do not be afraid! Sunday 21 of June 2026 - XII of the O.T. Jesus, in the passage from Matthew's Gospel that we’re going to listen to on Sunday, June 21, for three times invites his disciples to not be afraid! Actually, choosing to live as Jesus’ disciple, doing the will of His Father, that is: making life, joy and peace triumph in the hearts of our brothers and sisters with the greater power of His love, can arouse envy and jealousy in those who have made evil and the destruction of life their "reason for being". But the good news of the Gospel is precisely this: with Jesus we are more than victorious. We win when we win, but we win above all when we "lose" our lives out of love for God and for our brothers.
