Voice of "The Baroness" “A priest is a lover of God, a priest is a lover of men, a priest is a holy man because he walks before the face of the All-Holy. A priest understands all things, a priest forgives all things, a priest encompasses all things. The heart of a priest is pierced, like Christ’s, with the lance of love. The heart of a priest is open, like Christ’s, for the whole world to walk through. The heart of a priest is a vessel of compassion, the heart of a priest is a chalice of love, the heart of a priest is a trusting place of human and divine love. A priest is a man whose goal is to be another Christ; a priest is a man who lives to serve. A priest is a man who has crucified himself so that he too may be lifted up and draw all things to Christ. A priest is a man in love with God. A priest is a gift of God to man and of man to God. A priest is a symbol of the Word made flesh, a priest is the naked sword of God’s justice, a priest is the hand of God’s mercy, a priest is the …More
I would like to bring to your attention the episode of the program which was broadcast on one of the big Russian channels on the 1st of October, 2012. In this program journalist Andrey Karaulov tells about the episode which happened to Vladimir Putin in 1989 in Dresden, and was unknown till the program went on the air. At that time Putin was KGB lieutenant-colonel. The author of the program is absolutely sure that this situation was not made up since thousands of Dresden citizens became the witnesses of this event, and the story of how it all happened may be heard almost in any bar of Dresden. In 1991 President Putin left the KGB. Vladimir Putin. Unknown episode of life [english subtitles]
After making a comment about this is the sort of story they don't want us to know. It was buried so deeply my fingers were hurting and stiff. I would love to know who it is that doesn't want anyone to know the truth?

“NOVEMBER 8.-THE FEAST OF THE HOLY RELICS. PROTESTANTISM pretends to regard the veneration which the Church pays to the relics of the Saints as a sin, and contends that this pious practice is a remnant of paganism. The Council of Trent, on the contrary, has decided that the bodies of the martyrs and other saints who were living members of Jesus Christ and temples of the Holy Ghost, are to be honored by the faithful. This decision was based upon the established usage of the earliest days of the Church, and upon the teaching of the Fathers and of the Councils. The Counci1 orders, however, that all abuse of this devotion is to be avoided carefully, and forbids any relics to be exposed which have not been approved by the bishops, and these prelates are recommended to instruct the people faithfully in the teaching of the Church on this subject. While we regret, then, the errors of the impious and of heretics, let us profit by the advantages which we gain by hearkening to the voice of the …More
I tried to avoid his newest video because of the week end, but on short video's this popped up. I thought it was something we ought to know about and not wait till Monday to post it. Urgent update — Iran has built a new secret uranium-enrichment site near Natanz, known as “Kirk Mountain.” Tehran has blocked international inspections, boosted security, and put its missile factories on 24/7 production. Reports say Iran is preparing to launch thousands of missiles at once if Israel strikes — a potential regional explosion waiting to happen.

[St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori – XVII-XVIII Century AD; Marianella, Kingdom of Naples/Pagani. Kingdom of Naples; spiritual writer, composer, musician, artist, poet, lawyer, theologian; Bishop; Doctor of the Church] “ST. CECILIA, virgin and martyr, has always been most celebrated in the Church of God; even from the fourth century a church has been dedicated to her honor in Rome; and honorable mention is made of her, not only in all the martyrologies, but even in the Canon of the Mass. In the eighth century there was a report that Astulphus, King of the Longobards, had carried off the body of our saint from Rome; but she appeared, in a vision, to Pope Paschal I., assured him that the report was false, and encouraged him to seek her relics. The holy pontiff found them, in the cemetery of Praetextatus, on the Appian road; and, having rebuilt her church, placed them there in the year 821. After a lapse of nearly eight centuries, when the place in which the saint s body had been deposited …More
“Chapter IV The Virgin Mother delivered a certain monk devoted to her from the Devil and also converted him from the habit of drunkenness. The story goes that a monk devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary having entered the cellar of the abbey, so soaked himself in strong wine that he soon became senseless. And, after remaining there some time, awaking presently from his drunken sleep he tried to go to the church through the cloister, and there met him the Devil under the appearance of a very great bull trying to pierce him with its horns. Then there came to him a very beautiful maiden with long hair flowing over her shoulders and holding in her right hand a linen handkerchief, who rated the devil, and bade him depart from the household of God; then suddenly both visions vanished. But when that monk walked on and approached the church, the Devil again came in the shape of a dreadful dog, who leapt violently upon him. Thereupon appeared that maiden, compelling him to depart and again rescuing …More
"You cannot call the God of all kindness your Father if you preserve a cruel and inhuman heart; for in this case you no longer have in you the marks of the heavenly Father's kindness." Homilia in illud Angusta est porta et de oratone domini "[The Lord] teaches us to make prayer in common for all our brethen. For He did not say "my Father" who art in heaven but "our" Father, offering petitions for the common Body." Homiliae in Matthaeum "Consider how [Jesus Christ] teaches us to be humble, by making us see that our virtue does not depend on our work alone but on the grace from on high. He commands each of the faithful who prays to do so universally, for the whole world. For He did not say "Thy will be done in me or in us," but "on earth," the whole earth, so that error may be banished from it, truth take root in all, all vice be destroyed on it, virtue flourish on it, and earth no longer differ from heaven"." Homiliae in Matthaeum "Would you like to see God glorified by you? Then rejoice …More
Paraphrase of the Lord's Prayer by St. Francis of Assisi OUR FATHER most holy, our Creator and Redeemer, our Saviour and our Comforter. WHO ART IN HEAVEN in the angels and the saints, giving them light to know you, since you, Lord, are light; setting them afire to love you, since you, Lord, are love; dwelling in them and giving them fullness of joy, since you, Lord, are the supreme, eternal good, and all good comes from you. HALLOWED BE THY NAME, may we grow to know you better and better and so appreciate the extent of your favors, the scope of your promises, the sublimity of your majesty, and the profundity of your judgements. THY KINGDOM COME, so that you may reign in us by your grace, and bring us to your kingdom, where we shall see you clearly, love you perfectly and, happy in your company, enjoy you forever. THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN, so that we may love you with all our heart, by always having you in mind; with all our soul, by always longing for you; with all …More
He mentions the talks with Trump and the phone calls. So far just words, some which are encouraging but no practical steps. Russia has successfully tested its nuclear-powered Burevestnik cruise missile, a nuclear-capable weapon Moscow says can pierce any defence shield, and will move towards deploying the weapon. This missile is said to be "invincible" to current and future missile defences, with an almost unlimited range and unpredictable flight path. Most importantly... nobody else in the world has this weapon. Russian Ambassador Dimitry Polyansky has said this missile was announced about four years ago. There was no secret about it as I have said before. Russia hardly has any secrets that are held from the world. Unlike other countries who work under secret with most things. (Still waiting for the MIG 41 that has been in production and testing for at least 2 years now). We know about the Tsunami sub, their newest missiles, tanks, trucks, jets, planes and everything else they have or …More

/St. Elisabeth of the Trinity - XIX-XX Century A.D.; France/ Third Day “First Prayer 9. “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make our home in him.” (Jn 14:23) The Master once more expresses His desire to dwell in us. “If anyone loves Me”! It is love that attracts, that draws God to His creatures: not a sensible love but that love “strong as death that deep waters cannot quench.” (Ct 8:6-7) 10. “Because I love My Father, I do always the things that are pleasing to Him.” (Jn 14:31 and 8:29) Thus spoke our holy Master, and every soul who wants to live close to Him must also live this maxim. The divine good pleasure must be its food, its daily bread; it must let itself be immolated by all the Father’s wishes in the likeness of His adored Christ. Each incident, each event, each suffering, as well as each joy, is a sacrament which gives God to it; so it no longer makes a distinction between these things; it surmounts them, goes …More
“IV: How a man may know whether he is active in Self-Distrust and Trust in God The presumptuous servant often supposes that he has acquired self-distrust and trust in God when the case is far otherwise. And this will be made clear to thee by the effect produced on thy mind by a fall. If thou art so saddened and disquieted thereby as to be tempted to despair of making progress or doing good, it is a sure sign that thy trust is in self and not in God. For he who has any large measure of self-distrust and trust in God feels neither surprise, nor despondency, nor bitterness, when he falls; for he knows that this has arisen from his own weakness and want of trust in God. On the contrary, being, rendered thereby more distrustful of self, more humbly confident in God, detesting above all things his fault and the unruly passions which have occasioned it, and mourning with a quiet, deep, and patient sorrow over his offense against God, he pursues his enterprise, and follows after his enemies, …More
“We read of a similar fact in the Life of B. Catherine de Racconigi.1 One day, when suffering so intensely as to need the assistance of her sisters in religion, she thought of the souls in Purgatory, and, to temper the heat of their flames, she offered to God the burning heat of her fever. At that moment, being rapt in ecstasy, she was conducted in spirit into the place of expiation, where she saw the flames and braziers in which the souls are purified in great torture. Whilst contemplating, full of compassion, this piteous spectacle, she heard a voice which said to her, "Catherine, in order that you may procure most efficaciously the deliverance of these souls, you shall participate, in some manner, in their torments." At that same moment a spark detached itself from the fire and settled upon her left cheek. The sisters present saw the spark distinctly, and saw also with horror that the face of the sick person was frightfully swollen. She lived several days in this state, and, as B. …More
Thu Oct 2nd "By whom is God hallowed, since He is the one who hallows? But since He said, "You shall be holy to Me; for I the Lord am holy," we seek and ask that we who were sanctified in Baptism may persevere in what we have begun to be." St. Cyprian of Carthage, De Dom orat "The new man, reborn and restored to his God by grace, says first, "Father!" because he has now begun to be a son." St. Cyprian of Carthage, De Dom orat “No one can have God as Father, who does not have the Church as Mother." St. Cyprian of Carthage, De Unit “There is, in fact, among the bishops only one Church, only one soul, only one heart… There is, through the institution of Christ, one and only one Church, spread out over the whole world, one and only one episcopacy represented by a multiplicity of bishops united among themselves… The Church forms a single whole, whose bond is the union of bishops." St. Cyprian of Carthage, Epistle 66, 8,3 "God does not accept the sacrifice of a sower of disunion, but …More
