[Saint Elisabeth of the Trinity/Elizabeth Catez – XIX-XX Century; born: Avord, France/died: Dijon, France; (aged 26); Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Gifted Pianist] Seventh Day First prayer 22. “God chose us in Him before creation, that we should be holy and immaculate in His presence, in love.” (Ep 1:4) “The Holy Trinity created us in its image, according to the eternal design that it possessed in its bosom before the world was created,” (Ruysbroeck) in this “beginning without beginning” of which Bossuet speaks following St. John: “In principio erat Verbum.” Jn 1:1) In the beginning was the Word; and we could add: in the beginning was nothing, for God in His eternal solitude already carried us in His thought. “The Father contemplates Himself” “in the abyss of His fecundity, and by the very act of comprehending Himself He engendered another person, the Son, His eternal Word. The archetype of all creatures who had not yet issued out of the void eternally dwelt in Him, and God saw them …More
“The Father contemplates Himself” “in the abyss of His fecundity, and by the very act of comprehending Himself He engendered another person, the Son, His eternal Word. The archetype of all creatures who had not yet issued out of the void eternally dwelt in Him, and God saw them and contemplated them in their type in Himself. This eternal life which our archetypes possessed without us in God, is the cause of our creation.”
Acts 8:5-17 “Peter and John prayed for them, that they might receive the holy Spirit.” Laying hands on them means allowing God’s love to flow into us, and then into the other person for healing and purifying. The person who receives and welcomes God’s love is already a healing of the heart. Well-being follows. 1 Peter 3:15-18 “Put to death in the flesh, Christ was brought to life in the spirit.” The Body of Christ, even though they thought they could destroy it, is still alive. The same is true for us. Life continues in Love, in the Life of God. John 14:15-21 “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate.” To pray to the Father is to be united with him, to be ONE. Prayer is a dialogue, an act of thanksgiving. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
On 25 March, Pakistan’s Federal Constitutional Court ruled that the 13-year-old Christian girl Maria Shabaz should be returned to the man accused of abducting and forcibly marrying her. Maria was reportedly abducted in July 2025 when she was 12 years old, forcibly converted to Islam, and married to a 30-year-old man. The legal marriage age in Punjab is 18. In recent weeks, three Catholic bishops and human rights organisations have issued statements urging the authorities to review the ruling.
Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar announced on Easter Sunday, April 5, that the government had constituted a committee to examine the March 25 judgment of the Federal Constitutional Court validating the marriage of 13-year-old Maria Shahbaz to 30-year-old Shaheryar Ahmad.

Cardinal Gerhard Müller on “fraudulent and blasphemous Blessings”: “The heretical relativization of natural and sacramental marriage is openly welcomed,” Cardinal Müller told PerMariam.com regarding the final report of the Vatican's synodal study group on homosexuality. “They do not openly deny the revealed truths. But they ignore them and build their own house of a comfortable and worldly-conforming Christianity alongside them.” Cardinal Müller also stated: “The private or even paraliturgical blessing of same-sex and opposite-sex couples in irregular relationships is based on the heretical denial of the revealed truth that God created human beings as man and woman.” Cardinal Müller further described such blessings as “fraudulent and blasphemous blessings.”
[Saint Patrick - mid-fifth to early-sixth century; born: Roman Britain/died: Ireland; Missionary, Bishop; Apostle of Ireland] 45. What is more, let anyone laugh and taunt if he so wishes. I am not keeping silent, nor am I hiding the signs and wonders that were shown to me by the Lord many years before they happened, [he] who knew everything, even before the beginning of time. 46. Thus, I should give thanks unceasingly to God, who frequently forgave my folly and my negligence, in more than one instance so as not to be violently angry with me, who am placed as his helper, and I did not easily assent to what had been revealed to me, as the Spirit was urging; and the Lord took pity on me thousands upon thousands of times, because he saw within me that I was prepared, but that I was ignorant of what to do in view of my situation; because many were trying to prevent this mission. They were talking among themselves behind my back, and saying: “Why is this fellow throwing himself into danger …More
"50. What is more, when I baptized so many thousands of people, did hope for even half a jot from any of them? [If so] Tell me, and I will give it back to you. And when the Lord ordained clergy everywhere by my humble means, and I freely conferred office on them, if I asked any of them anywhere even for the price of one shoe, say so to my face and I will give it back."

Bishop Conley weighs in with 'Just War 101': “I feel a special responsibility to speak up clearly for the Church’s teaching and vision at this moment,” says the Bishop of Lincoln.
In an op-ed to his flock titled ‘Just War 101: Catholic teaching for a dangerous moment,” Bishop James Conley of the Diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska, says he feels “a special responsibility to speak up clearly for the Church’s teaching and vision” as the U.S.-Iran conflict continues. Noting that he is "the proud son of a World War II veteran who served as a gunner on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific theater," Conley offers a concise primer on what he calls “Just War Theory 101," writing that while the Catholic Church “is not inherently pacifist and does not mandate the renunciation of all violence,” it is also “adamantly skeptical of war.” He recalls Pope Leo XIV’s recent and many calls for peace, saying that because “of the evils and injustices that all war brings with it, we must do everything reasonably possible to avoid it.” However, he writes, the “Church teaches one has a right to self-defense against an unjust aggressor, even to use lethal defense if necessary,” a right …
