The Greatest Story Ever Told (Luke 2:1-14) Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 2,1-14. In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town. And Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David that is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear. The angel …More

Happy Children or Saints Bound for Heaven? Fr. Altier emphasizes the importance of parents dedicating their children to God, prioritizing their spiritual well-being over worldly happiness. He encourages parents to pray for their children’s salvation and holiness, even if it involves difficult paths or suffering, as exemplified by Hannah and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The ultimate goal is for children to become saints and attain eternal life in heaven. Fr. Altier’s Daily Homilies Fr.

[Saint Bridget of Sweden/ Heliga Birgitta; XIV Century AD: aged 69-70; Uppland, Sweden/Rome, Papal States; Widow, Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Founder; Patroness of Europe] Chapter 35 ~ The Virgin Mary’s words to the bride about her own sorrow at the suffering of Christ, and about how the world was sold through Adam and Eve and bought back as with one heart through Christ and his Virgin Mother. “Mary, the Mother of God spoke to the bride of Christ and said: “My daughter, consider the suffering of my Son, for his limbs were like my own limbs and his heart like my own heart. For just as other children use to be carried in the womb of their mother, so was he in me. But he was conceived through the burning charity of God’s love. Others, however are conceived through the lust of the flesh. Thus, John the evangelist, his cousin, rightly says: ‘The Word was made flesh.’ He came through love and was in me. The Word and love created him in me. He was truly for me like my own heart. For when I …More

Fakers, phonies, and frauds are recognized as they expose themselves, and the wife of Charlie Kirk exposed herself from the start by her so called "grieving" which was as fake, phony, and fraudulent as a tart who has no acting ability, and so, she was/is unable to hide herself. Evolving evidence and truth points to extremely grave questions regarding her. . .
I am not advocating for Sharia Law. But principally it is objectively superior to modern Western democracy, as was Catholic Christendom. 1. Divine Authority Sharia Law: Authority comes from God as revealed in the Qur’an and Hadith. Traditional Christendom: Law was historically grounded in God’s authority as interpreted through the Bible and Church teachings. Similarity: In both systems, laws are not purely human inventions; they are believed to reflect divine will and moral order. 2. Integration of Morality and Law Sharia Law: Legal obligations include moral duties, like honesty, charity, and religious observance. Christendom: Canon law and moral teachings influenced secular law, regulating ethical behavior, sexual conduct, and social responsibility. Similarity: Both see legal compliance and moral/religious duty as intertwined rather than separate spheres. 3. Role of Religious Authorities Sharia Law: Scholars and judges interpret divine texts and issue rulings (fatwas). Christendom:…More
A false religious law imposing false ethical codes many of which are contrary to the Natural Law cannot be better but is actually worse than a secular Republic. Child marriage- rape of pre-pubescent girls, murder of apostates, and violence on non believers is all sanctioned under Sharia Law. In medieval Christendom the role of the Pope vis a vis the secular state was quite distinct from a Caliphate or Iran's Supreme Mullah where there is no recognition of a secular sphere.
Isaiah 62:1-5 “Nations shall behold your vindication, and all kings your glory.” This is the announcement of God’s coming to us. Acts 13:16-17, 22-25 John the Baptist said, “Behold, one is coming after me; I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his feet.” God keeps his sandals. Moses, the man, takes off his sandals before God. For that time, the message was a sign that it is God who is present. Matthew 1:1-25 The genealogy leading up to Jesus indicates that he is truly 100% Man while also being truly 100% God. He comes to bring joy to earth and into hearts. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
DECEMBER 24 SAINT FRANCIS AT GRECCIO breskiq From the Holy Land to Italy It is believed Francis’ inspiration to do a live representation of the birth of Jesus came from his time in the Holy Land in the years 1219 and 1220. Seeing the holy sites of Christ’s birth, life, death, and resurrection made them feel all the more real — and he wanted to recreate that experience. In November 1223, three years before his death, St. Francis was in Rome to await the pope’s approval of the final rule of his friars. The friar and deacon was already very familiar with the hill town of Greccio, about 50 miles north of Rome. He had first arrived there over a decade prior and would frequently return to preach to the people of the surrounding countryside. Eventually, a hermitage was built for St. Francis a short distance outside the town. Ahead of his return to the hermitage, two weeks before Christmas, Francis asked his friend, Lord of Greccio Giovanni Velita, to prepare a cave with live animals and a …More
[Saint Catherine of Siena /Caterina di Benincasa/; XIV-XV Century AD; Siena, Republic of Siena/Rome, Papal States; aged 33; Spiritual Writer; Mystic; Virgin; Doctor of the Church] “Of the glory of the Blessed " Similarly, the just soul, for whom life finishes in the affection of charity and the bonds of love, cannot increase in virtue, time having come to nought, but she can always love with that affection with which she comes to Me, and that measure that is measured to her. She always desires Me, and loves Me, and her desire is not in vain—being hungry, she is satisfied, and being satisfied, she has hunger, but the tediousness of satiety and the pain of hunger are far from her. In love, the Blessed rejoice in My eternal vision, participating in that good that I have in Myself, every one according to his measure, that is that, with that measure of love, with which they have come to Me, is it measured to them. Because they have lived in love of Me and of the neighbour, united together …More
"And that soul rejoices in Me, and in the souls, and in the blessed spirits, seeing and tasting in them the beauty and the sweetness of My love. And their desires for ever cry out to Me, for the salvation of the whole world. And because their life ended in the love of the neighbour, they have not left it behind, but, with it, they will pass through the Door, My only-begotten Son in the way that I will relate to thee. So thou seest that in those bonds of love in which they finished their life, they go on and remain eternally."
December 23 EIGHTH DAY Novena of aguinaldos Or Christmas PRAYER TO BEGIN Every day By the sign of the holy cross... Most benign God of infinite charity that you loved men so much, that you gave them in your son the best pledge of your love, so that made a man in the bowels of a Virgin, he was born in a manger for our health and remedy. I, on behalf of all mortals, give you infinite thanks for such sovereign benefit. In return from Him I offer you the poverty, humility and other virtues of your humanized Son, begging him for his divine merits, for the discomforts with which he was born and for the tender tears he shed in the manger, have our hearts with deep humility, with lit love, with total contempt of everything earthly, so that the newborn Jesus has in them his cradle and lives eternally.
