Fr. Timothy Leonard The Irish Columban priest was martyred by Chinese Communists in 1929 As he said Mass in his parish church in Nanfeng, it was stormed by rabid Communists who flung the hosts and ciborium across the floor and prevented him from consuming the hosts. Then tore at his vestments and punched him in the face because he admonished them. It was later revealed that the parishioners consumed the hosts that had been trampled on by the Communists. The Communists put him on trial and declared him an enemy amd accused him of being friendly with Chinese Nationalists Before he had left Ireland for China, a priest had asked him if he was afraid of martyrdom He replied: 'What of that? What is it after all but bad quarter of an hour? Think of the reward' After being found guilty by the Communists, he was hacked to death He was just 36 years old
He replied: 'What of that? What is it after all but bad quarter of an hour? Think of the reward' After being found guilty by the Communists.
GOD heard him and took him for his reward.

Veni Creator Spiritus is a revered Latin hymn attributed to Rabanus Maurus, a 9th-century Frankish Benedictine monk. This ancient invocation of the Holy Spirit holds particular significance today (January 1), the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God and the beginning of the new year. In Catholic tradition, reciting or singing the hymn publicly on New Year’s serves as a prayer for the Holy Spirit’s guidance and blessings in the year ahead. It also grants a plenary indulgence under the usual conditions: sacramental confession, Eucharistic Communion, prayer for the Pope’s intentions, and complete detachment from sin.

Those who call themselves Catholics are definitely blind and immersed in, and part of, the current apostasy. That's why we read in Revelation that everyone worships the Beast, to whom they themselves give power.
That's surely how the apostate angels flatter Lucifer.
