NOVEMBER 17 2025 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 18,35-43. As Jesus approached Jericho a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging, and hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what was happening. They told him, "Jesus of Nazareth is passing by." He shouted, "Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!" The people walking in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent, but he kept calling out all the more, "Son of David, have pity on me!" Then Jesus stopped and ordered that he be brought to him; and when he came near, Jesus asked him, What do you want me to do for you? He replied, "Lord, please let me see."

The Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano publishes a monthly supplement titled Women-Church-World. The November issue is dedicated to the controversial theme 'Daughters of Mother Earth' and features an image of Pachamama on the cover. A November 15 interview presents Sister Adele Howard of the Australian Sisters of Mercy. The introduction repeatedly uses the expression “Mother Earth”, describing the planet as a nurturing reality and claiming that “in the Earth there is the breath of the Creator God”. Humans “have within us the keys to connect with our mother.” Sister Howard states that “through nature, God fills us with vital energy.” Indigenous people are presented as models because they “perceive the sacredness of the Earth” and are "great masters." After spending forty years among indigenous people, Sister Howard says that she can now "feel the whispers of Creation, its tears, which are the same as those of the poor". She recounts meeting an Aboriginal elder at a waterhole …More

She didn't sneak into occupied France under cover of darkness. She walked calmly to the front door, rang the bell, and smiled. "I'm looking for a room to rent," she said in perfect German, her manner gentle and unassuming. The Wehrmacht commander saw exactly what he expected to see: a harmless middle-aged woman, polite and refined. A widow, perhaps. Someone who posed no threat whatsoever. He had no idea he'd just welcomed a British spy into his home. Her name was Lise de Baissac, and she was one of Winston Churchill's secret weapons—a Special Operations Executive agent tasked with setting Europe ablaze from within. Every morning she greeted her landlord with warmth and pleasantries. Every night she slipped into the darkness carrying explosives, meeting with resistance fighters and whispering her golden rule: "We work quietly, or we do not work at all." He thought she was his tenant. She was his surveillance. She was sabotage personified, living under his roof, studying his routines, …More

"When a pastor proposes an 'accommodating and flexible gospel', he ceases to be a teacher of the faith and becomes an echo of the world. Fidelity to the deposit of faith is true charity towards souls."
