Acts 4:23-31 "Peter, filled with the holy Spirit." The purpose of human existence is to discover the Holy Spirit within. Let us rediscover the childlike joy within us. Let us remain in the joy of God. John 3:1-8 Jesus said, "No one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit." Let’s realize that the Holy Spirit, God, is the answer to everything. Let us return to what is simple and joyful. We will discover more with the childlike joy within us than by overloading ourselves with information. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
12.04.2026 POPE LEO INTERPRETS VATICAN COUNCIL II SCHISMATICALLY WITH THE LG 16 VISIBLE HERESY : CHANGES THE CREEDS AT HOLY MASS Pope Francis did not tell Fr. Stefano Mannelli F.I that Vatican Council II supports Tradition.Pope Leo does not tell the SSPX that Cardinal Fernandez is in schism. A nihil obstat and imprimatur are needed for Karl Rahner's books but also that of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger published by Igantius Press. Why go for Pope Leo’s Holy Mass when he has changed the understanding of the Creeds, Councils and Catechisms and no cardinal, bishop or priest can defend him? Any journalist an confirm that with the LG 16 visible mistake, Pope Leo’s understanding of the Athanasius, Nicene and Apostles Creed is not the same as it was for the saints Augustine and Aquinas. There is also a rupture with the dogma extra cclesiam nulla salus of the Magisterium of the 16th century, for example. There is a schismatic break with the Magisterium of the Middle Ages. On abortion, Pope Leo has …More
Before Seminaries Were Simplified: The Step by Step Making of a Priest Before the Second Vatican Council Let’s just sit down and walk through this slowly, because this is one of those topics where modern Catholics hear the terms and think “yeah I kind of know that,” but when you actually unpack it, it’s way more structured, way more ancient, and honestly way more intense than people realize. So first, you have to understand that in the traditional life of the Church before everything got streamlined after Second Vatican Council becoming a priest wasn’t just “go to seminary, get ordained.” It was a step by step ascent through what were called the minor orders and major orders, almost like climbing a ladder, and each rung actually did something to you spiritually and liturgically. You didn’t just wake up one day as “Father.” You were formed into it, layer by layer. It all began with TONSURE. Now this is something most Catholics today have never even seen. Tonsure was the rite where …More
U.S. Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke has downplayed reports of growing tensions between the Vatican and the U.S. administration of Donald Trump. In an interview with IlGiornale.it on April 11, he stated that “the narrative of an ongoing clash is exaggerated”. Leo XIV “has invited everyone to work for peace, as he rightly should.” Regarding the attacks and bombings of Iran, Cardinal Burke thinks: “One may have differing views on how to address the problem, but one certainly cannot think that the situation in Iran was good prior to the attacks by the United States and Israel. I believe that, in his view, Trump also has peace as his goal - meaning he seeks to restore internal peace in Iran and in its relations with other nations. This is because the regime represents a nuclear threat to both its neighbors and others.” He also added that he prays “for the freedom of the Iranian people, who have suffered for too many years at the hands of the ayatollahs’ regime.” Cardinal Burke continued: “…More
'Divine Mercy is both a Message and a Devotion. As JPII and Pope Benedict stated, the message of Divine Mercy is NOT optional. It is the "nucleus of the Gospel" and an integral part of Christian life and prayer - not a secondary devotion. So in answer to all the criticism about St. Faustina and the devotional of Divine Mercy, Fr. Chris Alar explains where Divine is within the Mass: EVERYWHERE!'
Syria (Aleppo) in the 1950s, when 40% of the population was Christian. Today, it’s less than 1%. But, but,... How is that possible!? When we are told that 2VC made all things better?!?

Late one evening, an old traveler arrived at a small farmhouse and asked for a place to stay the night. "You’re welcome to stay, there's plenty of room. But I’ll be honest—we don’t have much to offer for dinner," the farmer said grimly. "Don't worry about that. All I need is a roof over my head," the old man explained. "I’ve been visiting my daughter, and now I’m making the long journey back to the city." The farmer’s wife looked at the guest, her face clouded with sadness. "I’m so sorry we can't host you properly. Our son’s legs were badly frostbitten last winter, and now he can’t walk. Every penny we have goes toward his treatment, but nothing seems to help." The old man stayed the night, and the next morning, he asked to see the boy. He carefully examined the young man’s swollen, lifeless legs. "You know," the traveler said, "when I reached my daughter’s house, my own legs were aching from the long road. She treated them with a healing salve and even gave me a jar to take home." …More

These are not direct talks, as the U.S. has the unpleasant habit of simply assassinating Iranian mediators. The Vice President of the United States is in no danger. Iran is a civilized country. It is the United States that has broken with a millennia-old tradition according to which envoys, even those of the enemy, are inviolable. The mediators from the two negotiating countries are not sitting face to face at a table. The children from the elementary school in Minab who were martyred, accompanied by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf—the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament—during the flight to Islamabad. “Iran has no cards to play,” claims the self-centered U.S. president. I, on the other hand, can point to several advantages that work in Iran’s favor. A breach of Israel’s defense line and the American warships supporting it. Israeli sources report that 80% of Iranian missiles …
"These then were Christ's inward virtues: humility, charity, and patient endurance. These three virtues Christ our Bridegroom practised all His life, and He died with them, and paid our debt according to justice. And of His generosity He has opened His side. From there flow out the rivers of well-being and the sacraments of bliss."
[BLESSED JAN VAN RUYSBROEK – XIII-XIV Century AD; Ruisbroek, Holy Roman Empire/ Groenendael, Holy Roman Empire; Mystic, Spiritual Writer, Doctor Divinus Ecstaticus] “Chapter V ~ OF PATIENT ENDURANCE The third point is patient endurance. We should mark this point carefully, for it adorned Christ our Bridegroom all His life. For His sufferings began very early, as soon as He was born; they began with poverty and cold. Then He was circumcised and shed His blood; He was driven to a strange country; He served the lord Joseph and His mother; He suffered hunger and thirst, shame and contempt, the vile words and works of the Jews. He fasted, He watched, and He was tempted by the devil. He was subject to all men; He wandered from country to country, from town to town, with much labour and great zeal, that He might preach the Gospel. At last He was taken prisoner by the Jews, who were His enemies, though He was their friend. He was betrayed, mocked and insulted, scourged and buffeted, and …More

MODLITWA za OJCZYZNĘ : Boże, Stwórco wszystkiego co istnieje i Ojcze całej rodziny ludzkiej, Ty powołałeś Ojczyznę naszą, Polskę, do przekazania światu iskry Bożego Miłosierdzia, przygotowującej na powtórne przyjście Twojego Syna. Zmiłuj sie, Panie nad nami, bośmy nie okazali się godni Twego wybrania. Zbrodnie i zdrada, kłamstwo i niewierność, pycha, egoizm i lenistwo stały się naszym sztandarem. Tak wielu wśród nas zwiedzionych, pogubionych i poranionych. Przez Niepokalane Serce Maryi, Matki Twojego Syna, błagamy Cię, uchroń nas od słusznej kary za nasze grzechy. Wzywani przez Maryję wielokrotnie do Pokuty i Modlitwy w La Salette, Lourdes, Gietrzwałdzie, Fatimie, Akita upadamy, Panie, na kolana nasze i chwytamy za różaniec, zawierzając siebie samych i braci naszych. Boże i Panie nasz! Ty, który jesteś Sprawiedliwością ale i Miłosierdziem, błagamy Cię: Zmiłuj się nad nami. Tobie zawierzamy losy naszej Ojczyzny, jej teraźniejszość i przyszłość; każdą rodzinę, każdego człowieka, …More
