My Lord and my God: I firmly believe that you are here, that you see me, that you hear me. I adore you with deep reverence. I ask you for forgiveness of my sins and grace to make this time of prayer fruit. My Mother Immaculate, Saint Joseph, my father and lord, my guardian Angel: intercede for me. MEDITATION II. Monday of the III week of Advent. Of the Presentation of Our Lady in the Temple. POINT ONE. Consider the fervor with which the fathers of the Blessed Virgin offered her to God in the temple, being three years old, in fulfillment of the vow they had made before receiving her from the hand of the Lord, faithfully returning to her the precious …More

As seen in recent months, Leo's Vatican at least "tries" to appear somewhat Catholic - although they also are continuing Francis' program of undermining the Faith apace. But hey, at least we got a nice creche scene this year and not some modernist monstrosity. Small blessings.

VACCINE INC. by every standard have been exposed through multitudes of evidence to be of the most egregious and reprehensible deceptions which ensnare the multitudes of populations world-wide thoroughly seducing people by means of psychological mind manipulations which are dangerous because vaccines harm and hurt the health of so many people and are known to cause deaths even though the evidence is denied by VACCINE INC. . . The truth about the VACCINE Industry amounts to what should be assessed as VACCCINE crimes against humanity.
First this goes against free speech. Just because one is critical of something, does not mean they want to murder or do harm to that individual. To say critics must be killed is mortally sinful and goes against the Gospel. Just because I have been very critical of Biden does not mean I want him murdered. Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword.
More than $1.5 million raised for 88-year-old Army vet after viral video 88-year-old Army veteran Ed Bambas went viral on social media this week after an influencer shared a video of Bambas opening up about his work in a grocery store to make ends meet. NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Llamas reports.
That creepy looking son can’t wait to get his grubby thieving hands on that money…..sad. His dad won’t get to enjoy any of it with him around. And probably won’t live much longer either—if you get my drift.
I just watched this very video on yt last week! I enjoy this sort of stories sometimes. Some are fake. Or they change the story a bit. Thank you Pierre for this beautiful story.
Three Protestant scholars have praised a document by Cardinal Víctor “Tucho” Fernández opposing the Marian titles Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces, speaking to CatholicNewsAgency.com on December 15. David Luy, a theology professor at the North American Lutheran Seminary, said the document was written “with an attentiveness” to concerns often raised by Protestants. Protestant objections “sprout from a desire to uphold the distinctiveness of Christ as the one mediator.” According to Luy, the document demonstrates “a sensibility to that central Protestant concern”. “Does it relieve potential strain between Protestants and Catholics? The short answer would be yes,” Luy said. However, he added that the concept of mediation in general “is probably where there’d be a need for ongoing conversation.” Cynthia Rigby, a theology professor at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, said the document could mark “a watershed moment” in Catholic–Protestant relations. Rigby emphasized …More
Chile Has Elected a Catholic President: José Antonio Kast Rist won Chile’s presidential runoff on 14 December, defeating Communist candidate Jeannette Jara. A lawyer and leader of the Republican Party, Kast campaigned on security and economic issues while strongly defending pro-life, pro-family, and religious values. Born in Santiago in 1966 to a deeply Catholic family of German descent, Kast is married with nine children and is a member of the Schönstatt Movement. He will take office as president on 11 March 2026. During the presidential campaign, Kast publicly reaffirmed his convictions: “We are going to talk about God again, about our country, and about family. These are the values that have sustained our country's strength, and we must not be afraid of what others may say”, he said.
Nowadays with the term 'Catholic' apparently being made out of spandex, it is a reasonable question (particularly of politicians with a penchant for wearing their faith-creds on their sleeves!)
+++Prophesies of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich+++ “The Church is in great danger… I see that in this place [Rome] the [Catholic] Church is being so cleverly undermined, that there will hardly remain a hundred or so priests who have not been deceived. They all work for destruction, even the clergy. The great devastation is now at hand.” “The Church is the only one, the Roman Catholic! And if there were left upon earth but one Catholic, he would be the one, universal Church, the Catholic Church, the Church of Jesus Christ against which the gates of Hell shall never prevail.”

I am sorry to hear that, @Instaurare Omnia in Christo , and I hope you are not feeling discouraged or disheartened. Yours is known as the Sunshine state. There is always something we can do. I recommend taking a look at a website The Chembow - Orgonite, and sharing about this, and the associated Substack of Sharon Daphne.. Also, Wilhelm Reich, the cloudbusters, orgonite energy.. which I posted about, further below. It is not so bad here over in the UK, or SE, London.. I do have tower busters and orgonite here in the flat.., and also in the family home in Kent. It also protects against 5G and WiFi, and is quite inexpensive to purchase, also you can make your own..
We have nearly the same thing in Florida. Right now I see dark gray clouds with bits of light color blue and pink. But the blue looks cloudy. When the sun is out, it has sort of a film over it where you can't actually see the sun. It is dark and dreary outside. And it gets worse every day. DeSantos said they were going to look into and stop it. But what has he done so far? Nothing while it gets worse every week. They are allowing it because they are being paid to allow it. And deceiving the people into thinking they will be our hero's and stop it. No! They aren't going to stop anything the evil ones have planned for a very long time now. They are all on the same side. All working together.
Pope Leo XIV is expected to appoint the handsome Bishop Ronald Hicks, 58, of Joliet, Illinois, as the 11th Archbishop of New York, replacing Cardinal Timothy Dolan. The rumour was spread by the Spanish-language outlet ReligionDigital.org on December 15 and confirmed by several journalists citing “independent sources.” The appointed is expected for December 18. Liberal journalist Christopher Hale was told: “This is a Chicago priest, advocated by Cardinal Cupich, appointed by a Chicago pope.” Hale describes Bishop Hicks as “more progressive than Cardinal Dolan.” Spiritual hero is Óscar Romero When he began as Bishop of Joliet in 2020, he wore a small photo of Archbishop Óscar Romero of San Salvador on the lapel of his jacket. Romero is a hero of politicized liberation theology. Monsignor Hicks had served as a missionary in El Salvador (2005-2010). Ally of Cardinal Blase Cupich Monsignor Hicks’s relationship with the pro-homosexual Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich is both structural and …More
