On Sunday, 14 December at 8:30 p.m., the Basilica of Sant’Ambrogio in Milan will host a historic event: Canon Don Francesco Braschi will celebrate a Mass in the ancient Ambrosian Rite according to the 1954 missal—the first at the High Altar in fifty-three years.

Per la prima volta in quasi 50 anni, domenica 14 dicembre alle ore 20:30, in occasione dell'Anno Giubilare, sarà celebrata una Messa Solenne secondo l'antico rito ambrosiano (libri liturgici del 1954) nella Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio a Milano, proprio sulla tomba di Sant'Ambrogio. La teologia cattolica insegna tradizionalmente che solo gli esseri dotati di anima razionale e immortale – gli esseri umani e gli angeli – possono raggiungere la visione beatifica.

Destroying Death: Christ's Crucifixion and Our Redemption
The mountain of the Lord, as described in Isaiah, is fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ. While the prophecy was initially understood as referring to Jerusalem, it ultimately points to Jesus, who provides spiritual nourishment, destroys death, and removes the reproach of sin. This fulfillment continues today through the Holy Eucharist and the spiritual healing offered by Jesus.

THE LORD SAID TO ME: WHAT I SHOWED YOU 16 YEARS AGO IN DREAMS WILL HAPPEN SOON - FIRST PART

DEC 3, 2025
I ALMOST DIED 17 YEARS AGO IN 2008, I'm currently taking medication. I was diagnosed with a terminal illness in 2002.
But in 2008 in September I ended up sick, after going to see a Doctor, I was sent home with a misdiagnose, tylenol and anti-biotics. The Doctor was negligent to run tests as I asked, she was a young female pregnant Doctor probably in her mid thirties.
In the last week of september I had already lost 33 pounds in less than a month, high fever, body aches, unable to eat, vomiting, diarrhea, extreme weakness, but I felt the presence of God, so much love, so much peace, although my pains where great.
I was hungry but I was unable to eat anything anymore, not even a soup or broth would make it to my stomach without me vomiting.
A brother and his family came to visit from a different state in the U.S., I was under my mom's care at that time as I had nobody to look after me. I had refused to go to the hospital, because for 3 consecutive times that same year (2008)…More

Bishop Fellay: Tucho’s Document Pitiful and Insulting to God

"The way to Heaven is tough. Our time has reached a higher intensity of evil than before. Temptations are greater than ever,” said Bishop Bernard Fellay of the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X in an interview with Kenya’s Immaculata TV on 23 November (video below).
He explained that there has been a terrible crisis in the Church since Vatican II, including a terrifying decline in vocations: "You wonder how far it can go."
And, "The influence of the Church on the world is now reduced to nothing."
Bishop Fellay quoted Cardinal Ratzinger’s well-known prediction that the Church as we know it will disappear and be reduced to "little islands": "I fear we are very close to that time."
He continued, "A lot of things in the Church have already been destroyed."
On Tucho’s Document About Marian Titles
Regarding Cardinal Victor (Tucho) Fernández and his recent document on the Marian titles Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of all graces, Bishop Fellay called it “pitiful.”

Weihbischof verabschiedet sich singend mit eigenem Lied

Mit einem musikalischen Gruß hat sich der Speyerer Weihbischof Otto Georgens verabschiedet. Wie im Facebook-Kanal des Bistums zu sehen ist, stimmte der 74-Jährige am Sonntag zum ersten Advent ein selbst-getextetes Lied "Es ist schön, ein Weihbischof zu sein" an.
Kurz vor seinem 75. Geburtstag am Dienstag, zu dem Bischöfe traditionell dem Papst ihren Rücktritt anbieten, blickt der Weihbischof humorvoll und persönlich auf 30 Jahre bischöflichen Dienst zurück. Wie das Bistum unter dem Videobeitrag erläutert, werde mit einer Emeritierung an Georgens' Geburtstag gerechnet.
"Es ist schön, ein Weihbischof zu sein"
Zur Melodie von Robert Lavigne du Cadets Lied "Le Seigneur nous ouvre l'avenir" textete Georgens: "Im Vertrauen auf Gott hab ich's gewagt – und bereut hab ich es niemals, nein. Es ist schön, ein Weihbischof zu sein." Dabei habe er sich den Beruf nicht ausgesucht: "Karriere machen lag mir fern. Nah den Menschen wollt ich immer sein, Leben teilen, mich mit andern freun." Er bleibe …

Doesn't look liturgical at all to me, but just a celebration. He probably has a good singing voice.

The Vienna Artists Collective is staging a Christmas Exhibition in Vienna
The exhibition DU SOLLST DIR EIN BILD MACHEN (YOU SHALL MAKE YOURSELF AN IMAGE) explores the imaginative power of religious experience, its visual counterpart in Christian iconography, and its interpretation by contemporary artists. The focus is on works whose creators approach Christian iconography with a critical but also loving, humorous but also feminist eye, enabling new perspectives on pictorial motifs that have been handed down over centuries. In its conception and orientation, the exhibition does not stand for superficial provocation or loud protest, but rather for a differentiated view, a search for common ground and an endeavour to promote a dialogue between contemporary art and religion.
Religion and art are among the essential traits of human beings and deal with fundamental questions: the question of meaning, the world, our existence. Religion makes the unfamiliar familiar, while art often contrasts …

No Greater Delight is a daily Marian podcast meant to start the day with a Marian touch. After examining the Marian feasts celebrated throughout the world on a given day, Fr. Nate offers a brief reflection to help make our love for Our Lady concrete in daily living. The title "No Greater Delight" is inspired by a homily of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, wherein he expresses his joy in preaching about the Virgin Mother, even though he acknowledges the challenge of adequately praising her.

December 3: Our Lady of Victory
Paris

Our Lady of Victory Paris
The church of Our Lady of Victory in Paris was built in 1629 by King Louis XIII in thanksgiving for favors granted him by the Blessed Mother. The parishioners for a century and a half were known for their devotion to the Blessed Virgin.
With the French Revolution the church fell upon evil ways and days. All sorts of outrages were performed in it by the revolutionists. Afterwards it was used by a schismatic sect and later became a stock exchange. In 1809 it was restored to its original purpose but there were few parishioners left.
Father Charles Fritche des Gennettes was transferred to the church of Our Lady of Victories in 1832. He had been the pastor of Catherine Laboure. Father noticed that scarcely anyone came to Mass or received the sacraments. He tried all in his power, but to no avail, to bring the people back to the faith. Discouraged, he decided it was his duty as a failure to resign.
