Honoring Mom on Mother’s Day brought me to Robert Frost’s most famous poem and its deepest meaning about life, loss, and hope. You may remember a post I wrote a few years ago entitled “A Corner of the Veil.” It was about my mother, Sophie Kavanagh MacRae, who died on November 5, 2006 during my 12th year in prison. That hasn’t stopped her from visiting, however. I had a strange dream about her a few nights ago, and I keep going back to it trying to find some meaning that at first eluded me. The United Kingdom celebrates Mothering Sunday on the Fourth Sunday of Lent, but in North America, Mother’s Day is on the second Sunday of May. I wonder if that was what prompted my vivid dream. It was in three dimensions, sort of like looking through one of those stereoscopic View Masters we had long ago. Pop in a disk of images and there they were in three dimensions and living color. My dream was like that, even the color — which is strange because I am colorblind since birth. My rods and cones …
This reminds me of years ago when people were spreading the same propaganda. Someone right here on gtv as well. Until 2 or 3 video's were posted of President Putin in Ukraine walking the streets. Talking to people at night. Driving a car himself through Mariupol!

Putin makes surprise trip to Russian-occupied Mariupol in wake of ICC warrant President Putin driving a car through Mariupol. Not the same video as was posted. Putin makes surprise trip to Russian-occupied Mariupol | AJ #shorts President Putin driving a car himself in Mariupol. youtube.com/watch?v=zQFxTxbY_Ds This is why I laugh over the propaganda from Europe, the US and even right here on gtv. Spreading lies as I watch or watched the truth already. It's best to know what is actually going on instead of believing everything we see and hear. Here is Victory Day in Russia 2026…More
Video's of Victory Day Parade in Russia 2026 also included. Watch President Putin give a speech and shake hands with Soldiers and Officers as he always does. And not hiding in a bunker as fake news from Europe, US and right here on gtv say he is doing.
Two dozen of homosexual vigils are scheduled in Italian dioceses for May and June, reports LaNuovaBq.it on May 8. A record number of twelve Italian bishops are presiding over or attending these "vigils," which aim to "overcome homotransphobia." In 2025, only five bishops participated in similar events. The list for 2026 is as follows: - Bishop Enrico Solmi of Parma, who presided over the "Prayer Vigil to Overcome Fear and Discrimination" on May 5; - Bishop Antonio Napolioni of Cremona, who presided over a vigil at the Church of San Giuseppe (Cambonino) on May 8; - Bishop Claudio Cipolla of Padua, who will participate in the rainbow vigil on May 15 at the Church of St. Bartholomew the Apostle in Padua; - Bishop Nicolò Anselmi of Rimini, on May 17; - The Archbishop of Florence, Gherardo Gambelli, who will preside over the diocesan vigil on May 21 at the Maria Ausiliatrice parish in Novoli; - The Bishop of Modena, Erio Castellucci, on May 21; - The Bishop of Savona, Calogero Marino, on …More

Some details of the skirmish between the U.S. military and Iran on Thursday night have yet to be released. But President Donald Trump, as is often the case, disclosed several details about the incident. Trump gave a vivid account of the Iranian attack on three U.S. destroyers, which were not damaged. “Missiles were shot at our Destroyers, and were easily knocked down,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Likewise, drones came, and were incinerated while in the air. They dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave!” ---More... As we warned: the regime has run out of storage capacity. For days now, they’ve been faking …
Absent independent verification, it seems to me substantially more probable that oil is leaking from the facility due to its having been militarily attacked, than to conclude that Iran is polluting its own territorial waters due to lack of storage.
Bombing and seizure of ships in the Strait of Hormuz! Three US destroyers under Trump's orders 'escorted' an oil tanker and a cargo ship. They entered the Strait of Hormuz violating Iranian passage rules. Iran first warned, then opened fire with missiles targeted to destroy. The cargo ship and tanker are burning out in the strait, US Navy ships are heavily damaged. Trump is in a hysteric state, US and UAE aviation attacked targets on Iranian territory. Iran responded with missiles. After night battles, the Iranian Navy captured the oil tanker. The violator of passage through the Strait of Hormuz was sailing under the flag of Barbados Бомбежка и захват судов в Ормузском проливе! Три эсминца США по велению Трампа «сопровождали» нефтяной танкер и сухогруз. Влезли в Ормузский пролив нарушив иранские правила прохождения. Иран сперва предупредил, потом открыл огонь ракетами на поражение.…More
The statement by the German and Austrian Catholics is fully against what the true Catholic faith teaches. Those who made this statement don't think with the soul of a real Catholic.
Scary stuff! I'm thankful for her deliverance. God is all powerful and anyone needing help in this kind of situation can reach out through prayer! Don't give up! God bless you!
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.”
The Polish priest Beniamin Sęktas (ordained in 2020) from the Diocese of Drohiczyn in eastern Poland publicly called for the resignation of Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś, 62, of Krakow. Pope Leo XIV had promoted the pro-homosexual Cardinal Ryś from Łódź to Krakow in November 2025. In an open letter published in mid-December 2025, Rev. Sęktas asked the Cardinal to resign. He called Cardinal Ryś a “public collaborator of rainbow Catholics.” Furthermore, Rev. Sęktas noted that Cardinal Ryś promotes extraordinary lay ministers to distribute Communion. The letter included statements such as: “You continue to shock and scandalize many Catholics” “the cynical face of an activist seeking the applause of opinion-forming elites” Bishop Henryk Sawczuk of Drohiczyn summoned Rev. Sęktas and reprimanded him. On May 4, the Diocese of Drohiczyn published a statement saying that the priest had violated the media guidelines adopted by the Polish Bishops’ Conference in 2023. The bishop also forbade him from …More

On LATIN MASS: Frankly, on this specific point I wouldn’t know what to say — we have never spoken about it. As an Augustinian, he is certainly attentive to safeguarding the substance while remaining open to diversity of forms. He is a man of reconciliation and dialogue, which is very different from compromise. I don’t know if he will be forced to make some decision on the matter, but I am sure his first reaction would be to say that there are far more urgent problems.
"52. From time to time I gave rewards to the kings, as well as making payments to their sons who travel with me; notwithstanding which, they seized me with my companions, and that day most avidly desired to kill me. But my time had not yet come. They plundered everything they found on us anyway, and fettered me in irons; and on the fourteenth day the Lord freed me from their power, and whatever they had of ours was given back to us for the sake of God on account of the indispensable friends whom we had made before."
[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
"47. Now I have put it frankly to my brethren and co-workers, who have believed me because of what I have foretold and still foretell to strengthen and reinforce your faith. I wish only that you, too, would make greater and better efforts. This will be my pride, for a wise son makes a proud father."
