Jubilee of Prisoners, #PopeLeoXIV: May forms of amnesty or pardon be granted During the Mass presided over in St. Peter's Basilica, Leo XIV reiterated the desire expressed by Francis in "Spes non confundit," the papal bull announcing the Holy Year. He hopes that everyone will be offered real opportunities for social reintegration, while being aware of the critical issues of the prison system: "No human being is the same as what he has done. Justice is always a process of reparation." #VaticanNewsIT

Yes. And the altercation was because of how Jacob and Rebekah deceived the hapless Issac to steal the birthright. Why would God "need" a pair of liars to define His lineage?

With God's Mercy, he receives the new name Israel. AND THAT IS THE MEANING OF ISRAEL.

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.
+++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!

This is probably the most valuable chalice in the Treasury of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. It was commissioned in Rome by Pope Pius IX to be used in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass on the day the dogma of the Immaculate Conception was defined, 8 December 1854. This chalice enchants the eyes of those who see it, with the splendour of almost 700 diamonds adorning it.

15.12.2025 TRADITIONALISTS NOW HAVE A NEW VERSION OF VATICAN COUNCIL II.

Show him that the Council is no more progressivist. Ad Gentes 7 ( all need faith and baptism for salvation) is aligned with the dogma extra ecclesiam nulla salus (EENS)., while invisible and hypothetical cases of LG 8, 14, 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc in Vatican Council II are not explicit exceptions for AG 7 or EENS.
