“They have stolen my harvest and taken everything from us they’ve left us with absolutely nothing. They’ve destroyed our identity.” A Palestinian grandfather cries after Zionist settlers destroyed his olive groves and stole the olives in Tulkarem (West Bank).
"Through the Holy Spirit we are restored to paradise, led back to the Kingdom of heaven, adopted as children, given confidence to call God "Father" and to share in Christ's grace, called children of light and given a share in eternal glory." Saint Basil the Great, On the Holy Spirit

[Saint Bonaventure – XIII Century AD; Civita di Bagnoregio, Papal States/Lyon, Kingdom of Burgundy-Arles; (Aged 52-53); Cardinal; Teacher of the Faith; Seraphic Doctor; Doctor of the Church; Scholastic Theologian, Philosopher] “PSALM 25 Judge me, O Lady, for I have departed from my innocence: but because I have hoped in thee I shall not become weak. Enkindle my heart with the fire of thy love: and with the girdle of chastity bind my reins. For thy mercy and thy clemency are before my eyes: and I was delighted in the voice of thy praise. O Lady, I have loved the beauty of thy face: and I have revered thy sacred majesty. Praise ye her name, for she is holy: let her wonders be declared forever. Glory be to the Father, etc. PSALM 26 O Lady, may thy light be the splendor of my countenance: and let the serenity of thy grace shine upon my mind. Raise up my head: and I will sing a psalm to thy name. Turn not away thy face from me: for from my youth up I have greatly desired thy beauty and thy …Bebree
"PSALM 31 Blessed are they whose hearts love thee, O Virgin Mary: their sins will be mercifully washed away by thee. Holy, chaste, and flowering are thy breasts: which blossomed into the flower of eternal greenness. The beauty of thy grace will never see corruption: and the grace of thy countenance will never fade. Blessed art thou, O sublime Rod of Jesse: for thou hast raised thyself unto Him who sits in the highest. O Virgin Queen, thou thyself art the way by which salvation from on high hath visited us. Glory be to the Father, etc.”
"My vindicator is here at hand. Does anyone start proceedings against me? Then let us go to court together. Who thinks he has a case against me? Let him approach me."
On Palm Sunday, Leo XIV used again a ferula that features a risen Christ leaving the cross. He has used it since 6 January 2026. On 9 January, the Office for the Liturgical Celebrations told VaticanNews.va that the cross "unites the mission of proclaiming the mystery of Christ on the cross with the glorious manifestation of the resurrection". The ferula "presents Christ no longer bound by the nails of the Passion, but with his glorified body", according to the papal office. And: "The Paschal Mystery thus becomes a source of hope for humanity because death no longer has any power over mankind since Christ redeemed everything he assumed." #newsBcyvklvfjo
04/01/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. I know what the secret negotiations between the U.S. and Iran are about. Trump isn’t lying to us; he is actually holding talks about a ceasefire. Not necessarily with the people who hold real power in Iran, but still. Why hasn’t a single journalist managed to get close to these negotiators? The answer is simple: because it’s standard practice on the American side to eliminate all witnesses to the negotiations. According to the principle: A good negotiator is a dead negotiator. The Americans perfected this tactic long ago during negotiations with the Native Americans. I suspect they traditionally served the mediators firewater. In case anyone hasn’t noticed yet, I’d like to point out today’s date… Things are about to get a bit more serious from here on out. The idea of negotiations isn’t so bad. It could help Trump extricate himself with dignity from this conflict that his best friends talked him into. It could help, but it won’t do any …
[St. Bernard of Clairvaux – XI-XII Century AD; Burgundy, Kingdom of France/Clairvaux, Kingdom of France; (aged 62-63); Abbot; Mystic; Leader; co-founder of the Knights Templar; Last of the Fathers; Doctor Mellifluus] “Chapter V ~ Of the Christian's debt of love, how great it is From the contemplation of what has been said, we see plainly that God is to be loved, and that He has a just claim upon our love. But the infidel does not acknowledge the Son of God, and so he can know neither the Father nor the Holy Spirit; for he that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father which sent Him, nor the Spirit whom He hath sent (John 5.23). He knows less of God than we; no wonder that he loves God less. This much he understands at least--that he owes all he is to his Creator. But how will it be with me? For I know that my God is not merely the bounteous Bestower of my life, the generous Provider for all my needs, the pitiful Consoler of all my sorrows, the wise Guide of my course: but that …Bebree
"Chapter VI ~ A brief summary Admit that God deserves to be loved very much, yea, boundlessly, because He loved us first, He infinite and we nothing, loved us, miserable sinners, with a love so great and so free. This is why I said at the beginning that the measure of our love to God is to love immeasurably. For since our love is toward God, who is infinite and immeasurable, how can we bound or limit the love we owe Him?"

“We are also aware of reports that Ms. Castillo expressed hesitancy to undergo euthanasia in her final hours, but that these indications were ignored." Noelia Castillo, who was a sexual-assault survivor. After she was placed in a group home as a teenager she was gang raped by African migrants, leading her to try to take her own life by jumping from a building. She ended up paralyzed and eventually sought suicide. Her family tried to stop her and when that failed they took legal action. The State Departmentdirected the US Embassy in Madrid to probe how Spanish law enforcement handled repeated sexual attacks against Castillo before her death, according to a report from the New York Postciting a leaked diplomatic cable. “We are deeply concerned by allegations that Ms. Castillo was repeatedly sexually assaulted while under state care and that no perpetrators have been brought to justice,” the cable read. “We are also aware of reports that Ms. Castillo expressed hesitancy to undergo euthanasia …
Four days ago, Pope Leo XIV praised Christian-Muslim “dialogue” during Wednesday’s meeting with the Programme for Christian-Muslim Relations in Africa. On Palm Sunday, dozens of Christians were slaughtered in Northern Nigeria.
"Christian-Muslim dialogue" - Yuck! There is no dialoguing with muslims. You might as well be dialing-a-dog! We should not be dialoguing with anyone, we should be preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the and instructing them in the True Faith.
[Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori – XVII – XVIII Century AD: Marianella, Kingdom of Naples/Pagani, Kingdom of Naples; (aged 90); spiritual writer, composer, musician, artist, poet, lawyer, scholastic philosopher, and theologian, Founder, Bishop, Doctor of the Church] “18. A woman of Cologne who had criminal intercourse with an ecclesiastic, found him one day hanging in her room dead. After this she entered into a monastery, where the devil assailed her in a bodily form, so that she knew not what to do in order to be delivered from him. A companion suggested to her to say the "Hail Mary;" and when she did so the demon said: "Accursed may she be who has taught you this," and appeared no more. 19. A certain baron who led a very sinful life was accidentally visited in his castle by a religious, who, enlightened by God, begged him to assemble together all his servants. They all came except the chamberlain. He at last was forced to come in, and the Father said to him: "Now, I command you in …Bebree
"20. The blessed Francis Patrizii, who greatly loved the devotion of the "Hail Marys," recited five hundred every day. Mary made known to him the hour of his death. He died as a saint; and after forty years a most beautiful lily sprung from his mouth, which was then transported into France, and on the leaves of it was written the "Hail Mary," in letters of gold."

Conservative Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, published a “counter-view” to the teaching that Judas has earned his place in hell on FoxNews.com on Palm Sunday. Monsignor Barron's main arguments for having hope for Judas' salvation - Judas shows repentance: "Judas, the betrayer, deeply regretted what he had done: 'I have sinned in betraying innocent blood.'" "This is not callous indifference or self-justification. This is a clear and honest admission of guilt." - The Church has never declared that Judas is in hell: "St. Pope John Paul II insisted that the Church has never made a definitive statement regarding whether any particular person is in hell." "Pope Benedict said that we should suspend judgement regarding Judas and commit him to the mercy and justice of God." - Suicide does not guarantee damnation: "We should not despair of the eternal salvation of persons who have taken their own lives.' 'By ways known to him alone, God can provide the opportunity for salutary …Bebree
HEY BISHOP BARRON, Don't worry about a thing. Just think - in a few days, after having spent all this time during lent thinking about Judas, you too will have perfection as a Traitor! The 40 days in the dessert - the devil tried to unsuccessfully bring down Christ in Temptations. He was most successful with Judas during this same period. By contemplating and becoming one with Judas, you will certainly miss out on the Resurrection - just like Judas. There will be NO redemption for you - you DUMB ASS. Time to think about Yahweh, his Justice and infinite Mercy to those how repent, to make you a better Saint.
What's odd about this, is that I just commented twice, what goes around, comes around. Both good and bad. I saw it all my life. Then I see this. After giving tens of thousands of tons of aid to several countries. Including sending teachers and professors to Burkino Faso, Russia found another oil filed in February. And now this. For his love and kindness Russia once again is rewarded. With tens of thousands of sanctions and more constantly being added, she should have been destroyed by now. But it's plain to see, Heaven will never allow that. Who can't see this?
