THE SEVEN WORDS SPOKEN BY JESUS CHRIST ON THE CROSS 2. "Amen I say to you, this day you shall be with Me in paradise." (Lk 23:43) This holy penitent also exercised other noble virtues; he preached, declaring the innocence of Jesus Christ, This man has done no evil. He exercised love to God, receiving death with resignation, as the punishment due to his sins, saying, We receive the due reward of our deeds. Hence St. Cyprian, St. Jerome, and St. Augustine do not scruple to call him a martyr; and Silveira says that this happy thief was a true martyr, as the executioners …More
"O my Jesus! henceforth I sacrifice to You my life, and I seek for grace to enable me, at the hour of my death, to unite the sacrifice of my life to that which You did offer to God upon the cross, and through which I hope to die in Your grace, and, loving You with pure love stripped of every earthly affection, to attain to love You with all my powers through all eternity."
Saint Paul Reveals The Mystery Of Salvation St. Paul, initially a Pharisee who believed salvation was exclusive to Jews, received a revelation from God that the Gentiles were also part of the new covenant through Christ. This revelation, challenging the Jewish belief in their exclusivity, emphasized that salvation is open to all who have faith in Christ, regardless of their background. This understanding allowed St. Paul to preach the inclusivity of God’s plan and the confidence believers can have in approaching God’s throne through Christ. Fr.

Unmasking the cult of Stalin In 1933, Welsh journalist Gareth Jones traveled to the Soviet Union to investigate rumors of events in Ukraine. What he uncovered was an immense man-made famine and one of the greatest crimes of the twentieth century—the Holodomor. Despite millions of deaths, Kremlin propagandists and other Soviet-friendly Western journalists downplayed and denied his reporting. Mr. Jones, a new movie directed by Agnieszka Holland, explores the incredible story of Jones’ struggle to expose the horrors occurring under Joseph Stalin at a time when Western reports were laudatory. The Holodomor stands out as one of the greatest tragedies of the Soviet regime, with Ukraine still fighting for its recognition and understanding of this dark chapter. Agnieszka Holland, the director of Mr. Jones, and Andrea Chalupa, the writer of Mr. Jones, join Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, historian and author of Red Famine: Stalin’s war on Ukraine to discuss how this movie, and …More

“To every American, and to everyone watching France burn from abroad: Do not blame the French people for this. We never asked for it. We never voted for it. And the one time we were clearly asked, we said no. Here are the numbers your media won't show you. 70% of the French say there are too many immigrants in France today. 79% want a tougher immigration policy. 77% disapprove of the government's record on immigration. 83% want foreign criminals and long-term unemployed foreigners sent home. And no, it's not just the old. 69% of French 18 to 24 year olds support suspending legal immigration for three years. This is not a fringe. This is the French people. In 2005, we were asked if we wanted the European Constitution. 55% voted no. Three years later, our politicians passed the same text under another name, through parliament, without ever asking us again. That is modern France in one sentence. The people say no. The elites do it anyway. So who is responsible? The politicians who lied to …More

Leo XIV’s personnel decision is a “grave sin”. Thomas Mirus, editor-in-chief of the “conservative” CatholicCulture.com, commented on X on Leo XIV’s appointment of Sister Mary Barron as President of the Pontifical Mission Societies (Missio). Both before her appointment and two weeks afterward, Sister Mary advocated for the ordination of women. She told EWTN on October 20: “Women today may hear the call to priesthood. Some of the great women saints heard that call also. So for me, it’s how do we within the Church facilitate that discernment?” Mirus commented on the interview: “I believe a grave sin is being committed by anyone who appoints or allows this woman to continue holding this position, knowing her heretical views.” He added: “This is why I said a while back that you cannot be a ‘good pope’ if you allow these things to happen, no matter how many edifying spiritual things you may say in your homilies.” #newsZwgkbxvmjq
There are three kinds of spirits: the Holy Spirit, the evil spirit, and liquid spirits. I know the Holy Spirit (Ghost) was not involved in her evil quest.
For Vatican justice, already under severe scrutiny for the way the major trial was conducted, a new front is opening: that of the transparency of investigations and the guarantees afforded to the defendants. This is a matter likely to weigh on the pontificate of Leo XIV, who is called to deal with the judicial legacy of one of the most controversial proceedings in recent years.
Letter to the Ephesians 3,14-21. Brothers and sisters: I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine, by the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Psalms 33(32),1-2.4-5.11-12.18-19. Exult, you just, in the LORD; Praise from the upright is fitting.

Brief des Apostels Paulus an die Epheser 3,14-21. Schwestern und Brüder! Ich beuge meine Knie vor dem Vater, von dem jedes Geschlecht im Himmel und auf der Erde seinen Namen hat. Er gebe euch aufgrund des Reichtums seiner Herrlichkeit, dass ihr in Bezug auf den inneren Menschen durch seinen Geist an Kraft und Stärke zunehmt. Durch den Glauben wohne Christus in euren Herzen, in der Liebe verwurzelt und auf sie gegründet. So sollt ihr mit allen Heiligen dazu fähig sein, die Länge und Breite, die Höhe und Tiefe zu ermessen und die Liebe Christi zu erkennen, die alle Erkenntnis übersteigt. So werdet ihr erfüllt werden in die ganze Fülle Gottes hinein. Dem aber, der gemäß der Macht, die in uns wirkt, unendlich viel mehr tun kann, als wir erbitten oder erdenken, ihm sei die Herrlichkeit in der Kirche und in Christus Jesus bis in alle Generationen für ewige Zeiten. Amen.

For love of Him I have forfeited everything. I have accounted all else rubbish that I may gain Christ. What I want is to know Him, to share in His sufferings, to become like Him in His death. I pursue my course striving to attain what He has destined me for by taking hold of me. My whole concern is to forget what is behind and to strain forward constantly to what is ahead. I run straight to the goal, to the vocation to which God has called me in Christ Jesus.” (Ph 3:8-10, 12-14) That is: I want only to be identified with Him: “Mihi vivere Christus est,” “Christ is my life!” (Ph 1:21) …More
"30. Let us lovingly eat this bread of the will of God. If sometimes His will is more crucifying, we can doubtless say with our adored Master: “Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass me by,” but we will add immediately: “Yet not as I will, but as You will” (Mt 26:39); and in strength and serenity, with the divine Crucified, we will also climb our Calvary singing in the depths of our hearts and raising a hymn of thanksgiving to the Father."
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Lukas - Lk 12,49-53. In jener Zeit sprach Jesus zu seinen Jüngern: Ich bin gekommen, um Feuer auf die Erde zu werfen. Wie froh wäre ich, es würde schon brennen! Ich muss mit einer Taufe getauft werden und wie bin ich bedrängt, bis sie vollzogen ist. Meint ihr, ich sei gekommen, um Frieden auf der Erde zu bringen? Nein, sage ich euch, sondern Spaltung. Denn von nun an werden fünf Menschen im gleichen Haus in Zwietracht leben: Drei werden gegen zwei stehen und zwei gegen drei; der Vater wird gegen den Sohn stehen und der Sohn gegen den Vater, die Mutter gegen die Tochter und die Tochter gegen die Mutter, die Schwiegermutter gegen ihre Schwiegertochter und die Schwiegertochter gegen die Schwiegermutter.
Lazarus Peter Kalamation.comthe peace of eternity. No, I tell you, I have not come to offer that kind of peace, but rather division - a good, healthy kind of division, physical as well as spiritual. Love for God and desire for inner peace will set those who believe in me at odds with wicked men and women, and make them part company with those who would turn them from their course of spiritual progress and from the purity of divine love, or who attempt to hinder them.” Good, interior, spiritual peace consists in the repose of the mind in God, and in a rightly ordered harmony. To bestow this peace was the chief reason for Christ's coming. This inner peace flows from love. It is an unassailable joy of the mind in God, and it is called peace of heart. It is the beginning and a kind of foretaste of the peace of the saints in heaven - the peace of eternity.

THE SEVEN WORDS SPOKEN BY JESUS CHRIST ON THE CROSS 2. "Amen I say to you, this day you shall be with Me in paradise." (Lk 23:43) St. Luke writes that of the two thieves who were [282] crucified with Jesus Christ, one continued obstinate, the other was converted; and seeing his miserable companion blaspheming Jesus Christ, and saying, If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us, he turned and reproved him, saying that they were deservedly punished, but that Jesus was innocent. Then he turned to Jesus himself and said, Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom …More
He /good thief/ exercised penitence together with the confession of his sins, saying, We indeed justly; for we received the due reward of our deeds. St. Augustine observes that before [283] his confession he had not boldness to hope for pardon; he did not dare to say Remember me, until, by the confession of his guilt, he had thrown off the burden of his sins. On this St. Athanasius exclaims, O blessed thief, you have stolen a kingdom by that confession!
