St. Anselm ~~~ The God Who made all things gave Himself form through Mary, and thus He made His own creation. He Who created all things from nothing...
Acts of the Apostles 11,19-26. Those who had been scattered by the persecution that arose because of Stephen went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but Jews. There were some Cypriots and Cyrenians among them, however, who came to Antioch and began to speak to the Greeks as well, proclaiming the Lord Jesus. The hand of the Lord was with them and a great number who believed turned to the Lord. The news about them reached the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to go to Antioch. When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to remain faithful to the Lord in firmness of heart, for he was a good man, filled with the Holy Spirit and faith. And a large number of people was added to the Lord. Then he went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he had found him he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a large number of people, and it was in Antioch that the disciples were …เพิ่มเติม
THE REAL WAR NOBODY WANTS TO NAME On Christ, Antichrist, the Errors of Russia, and the Shape of Reality There is a war going on. You can feel it. Most people can feel it even if they cannot name it. And because they cannot name it, they name the wrong thing. They say it is a war between races. Or between nations. Or between the globalists and the patriots. Or between Islam and the West. Or between men and women. Or between the rich and the poor. None of that is wrong exactly. But none of it is the real thing. Those are the shadows of the war, not the war itself. The real war is between Christ and Antichrist. And if that language does not work for you yet, try this: it is the war between reason and unreason. Between the natural order and the war on that order. Between those who accept that reality has a shape — and those who have declared war on that shape. Christ and reason are not two different things. They are the same thing. That is the claim this piece is built on, and it is worth …เพิ่มเติม
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 10,22-30. The feast of the Dedication was taking place in Jerusalem. It was winter. And Jesus walked about in the temple area on the Portico of Solomon. So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, "How long are you going to keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly." Jesus answered them, "I told you and you do not believe. The works I do in my Father's name testify to me. But you do not believe, because you are not among my sheep. My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can take them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one can take them out of the Father's hand. The Father and I are one." shareyourcatholicfaith
This was a set-up, another attempt by Donald Trump to draw attention to himself and away from plummeting ratings and widespread criticism of the war, says former soldier Tony Aguilar. It was like a High School play. INTERVIEW: The Trump scripted shooting Other things going on... Interesting that fetterman is calling for us to approve trump's ballroom. German Chancellor says, US is being humiliated by Iran. As if no one notice? Senate demoncrats are demanding answers from hegseth over of the attacks of Kuwait.
[Venerable Mary of Agreda – XVII Century AD; Agreda, Spain; Mystic; Writer; ‘Blue Nun’] “Chapter IV ~ THE SUSPICIONS OF ST. JOSEPH INCREASE, AND HE RESOLVES TO LEAVE HIS SPOUSE—THE ANGEL OF THE LORD DECLARES TO TIIM THE MYSTERY OF THE INCARNATION. The passion of jealousy produces sharp wounds in him who is attacked by it, and no one ever felt its effects so sensibly as St. Joseph, though, in fact, there was no foundation for it, if he had but known the truth. He was endowed with a singular intelligence to penetrate the sanctity and the lovely character of his spouse. But this, in augmenting his esteem for her whom he was about to lose, augmented his sorrow to find himself necessitated to abandon her. St. Joseph was not subject to the disorders of common jealousy, in which the passions of concupiscence are engaged, which neither reason nor prudence can vanquish. The jealousy of the saint arose only from the depth of his love and a conditional suspicion, viz.: whether his chaste spouse …เพิ่มเติม
"St. Joseph awoke, informed of the mystery which had been revealed to him, and instructed that his spouse was the Mother of God. He found himself divided between the joy of his happiness, and his unhoped for dignity, and sorrow for what he had been about to do. He prostrated himself instantly on the ground, and made, with humble fear and inconceivable contentment, heroic acts of humility and gratitude. He gave thanks to God for the mystery which had been disclosed to him, and for having made him the spouse of her whom He had chosen to be His mother—him, who did not deserve to be her servant. The doubts and uncertainty which St. Joseph had suffered, laid in him the foundations of the most profound humility, necessary for him to whom was confided the dispensation of the most holy counsels of the Lord. The remembrance of what had passed served as a lesson for his future life."
"St. Joseph saw not the angel through any image or form—he heard only the internal voice, and understood the mystery. He heard what St. Gabriel said, “ that he should not fear to remain with Mary his wife, because her condition was the work of the Holy Ghost. That she should bring forth a son, whom he should call Jesus; that He should deliver His people from their sins; and that in this mystery would be accomplished the prophecy of Isaiah —‘A Virgin shall conceive and bring forth a son, who shall be called Emmanuel, which means, God with us.’” We perceive from the words of the celestial ambassador, that the saint had separated from the pure Mary in intention, since he was commanded to receive her without fear."
Im Freiburger Münster entsteht erstmals eine großformatige zeitgenössische Kunstinstallation aus Fadengewebe von Elke Maier, die sich bis Pfingsten vom Chorraum durch den gesamten Kirchenraum ausbreitet; das Projektbudget beträgt rund 43.000 Euro.
Ausschnitt aus diesem Video: "Wenn der Papst in der Welt zum Frieden aufruft, sollte er auch innerhalb der Kirche Frieden stiften. Eine Erlaubnis der Bischofsweihen wäre ein seelsorgliches Zeichen des Dialogs und der Versöhnung mit der Piusbruderschaft – als Brücke zu weiterer Klärung und Einheit."
1) Matthew 7:15-16: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?” 2) Does any human creature made of clay (Genesis 2:7), conceived in sin, born in guilt (Psalm 50:7), that maggot, a worm (Job 25:6), who will be judged by God upon death (2 Timothy 4:1), have any justification for leading souls to the devil? a) Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) 15:20; “He never commanded anyone to be wicked, nor did He give anyone permission to sin.” b) Exodus 32:21–23; Moses said to Aaron, “What has this people done to you that you have brought such a great sin upon them?” c) Deuteronomy 30:17-18; “But if your heart turns away and you do not listen, but are led astray and worship other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you will surely perish.” d) Jonah 2:9; “Those who worship vain idols forsake their own salvation.” e) 1 John 5:21; My children,…เพิ่มเติม
