A Veteran trying to feed the homeless Vet's But the hoa wanted to fine him and took him to court. The Judge has the final say. Should the HOA Let the Homeless Stay Hungry? Watching these videos breaks my heart to how cruel and heartless people can be. Another video of an elderly woman who lost her husband and what the hoa did. There are some worse than these two video's I am leaving. She Lost Her Husband, Now The City Wants Her House
Those remain whose fruits abide in charity from their hearts, and they serve others while the cold and heartless people remain whose fruits are darkness as their sulfur spews from their deadened hearts.
A Charlie Brown Christmas: Linus Explains the True Meaning Of Christmas
A Charlie Brown Christmas: Linus Explains the True Meaning Of Christmas What is the true meaning of Christmas? As Charlie Brown screams out for someone to help him understand, Linus tells the simple story of Christmas and its true meaning through the words of the bible. Luke 2: 4-14: 4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them …More
By and RACHEL BOWMAN, US SENIOR NEWS REPORTER and KATELYN CARALLE, SENIOR U.S. POLITICAL REPORTER and WILL POTTER, US SENIOR NEWS REPORTER and NICK ALLEN, US NEWS EDITOR (POLITICS) Updated: 05:16 GMT, 20 December 2025 Donald Trump’s Department of Justice on Friday released more than 300,000 pages of photos and evidence connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The vast trove includes images showing the disgraced financier and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell socializing with high-profile figures, including former president Bill Clinton and Michael Jackson. One photograph appears to show Clinton in a swimming pool alongside Maxwell and several unidentified, partially clothed women. Clinton broke his silence on Friday to turn the tables on Trump, releasing a statement that declared: 'The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton. This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or …
Pilot creates Nativity Scene flying across Ohio | Shalom World News A pilot marked the Christmas season in an extraordinary style on Monday, December 15, by creating a Nativity scene thousands of feet above northern Ohio. According to data from the flight-tracking website FlightAware, the pilot flew a Piper Cherokee that departed Wood County Regional Airport in Bowling Green at 5:36 p.m. and returned roughly five hours later. During the flight, the pilot carefully traced the outlines of the Nativity, forming recognizable silhouettes of Mary and Joseph kneeling over the infant Jesus in a manger, a scene drawn from the biblical account of Christ’s birth. The intricate aerial design stretched across a wide swath of northern Ohio, reaching as far east as Mansfield before looping back toward Bowling Green. FlightAware records show the Nativity image measured approximately 35 miles in height and 70 miles in width, requiring a total of 506 air miles to complete. Throughout most of the journey …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 third reproof which is made on the Day of Judgment. " Now it remains to tell of the third reproof which is on the Last Day of Judgment. Already I have told thee of two, and now, so that thou mayest see how greatly man deceives himself, I will tell thee of the third—of the General Judgment, when the pain of the miserable soul is renewed and increased by the union that the soul will make with the body, with an intolerable reproof, which will generate in it confusion and shame. Know that, in the Last Day of Judgment, when will come the Word—My Son, with My Divine Majesty to reprove the world with Divine Power, He will not come like a poor one, as when He was born, coming in the womb of the Virgin, and being born in a stable amongst the animals, and then dying between two thieves. Then I concealed My power …More
"He will come, with power, to reprove in His Own Person, and will render to every one his due, and there will be no one in that Day who will not tremble. To the miserable ones who are damned, His aspect will cause such torment and terror that the tongue cannot describe it. To the just it will cause the fear of reverence with great joy ; not that His face changes, because He is unchangeable, being one thing with Me according to the divine nature, and, according to the human nature, His face was unchangeable, after it took the glory of the Resurrection. But, to the eye of the damned, it will appear such, on account of their terrible and darkened vision, that, as the sun which is so bright, appears all darkness to the infirm eye, but to the healthy eye light (and it is not the defect of the light that makes it appear other to the blind than to the illuminated one, but the defect of the eye which is infirm), so will the condemned ones see His countenance in darkness, in confusion, and in …More
"And their hatred is so great that they cannot will or desire any good, but they continually blaspheme Me. And dost thou know why they cannot desire good ? Because the life of man ended, free-will is bound. Wherefore they cannot merit, having lost, as they have, the time to do so. If they finish their life, dying in hatred with the guilt of mortal sin, their souls, by divine justice, remain for ever bound J with the bonds of hatred, and for ever obstinate in that evil, in which, therefore, being gnawed by themselves, their pains always increase, especially the pains of those who have been the cause of damnation to others, as that rich man, who was damned, demonstrated to you when he begged the favour that Lazarus might go to his brothers, who were in the world, to tell them of his pains."
FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT THE PREPARATION OF GOD'S WAYS Fray Justo Pérez de Urbel Again the rigid and impressive figure of the Baptist. We have already seen him at the time of receiving the Sanhedrite embassy, and we have also heard his own embassy. Now the liturgy presents him to us leaving the desert, approaching the Jordan with a firm step, fixing his enlightened eyes on the passengers and repeating to them the words of Isaiah, which many times had made him tremble in his solitary meditations: "Console yourself, comfort yourself, my people, your God tells you. Speak to the heart of Jerusalem and tell him that his evils are over, that his crimes have been forgiven. But behold the voice that cries out in the wilderness: Prepare the ways of the Lord and straighten their paths in solitude. Calm the valleys, pave the mountains and the hills. Make the winding roads straight and the rough paths are flat. For the glory of the Lord is approaching and in all the roundness of the earth the word …More

“I was blessed to work with Cardinal Cupich for six years in the Archdiocese of Chicago before being named in Joliet, where I became the Ordinary for the past five years. During that time, I worked with him and a lot of very talented people. So, I learned some basic skills of governance, of administration, and also how to set priorities and keeping the mission of the Church in the center. I think that's probably one of the greatest things I learned.”
