Saint Aurea of Paris | The Forgotten Abbess Who Quietly Led Others to God | October 4 Not every saint changed the world through dramatic miracles, famous speeches or extraordinary journeys. Some changed the lives around them simply by being faithful every day. Saint Aurea of Paris was one of them. A 7th-century virgin and abbess, Aurea devoted her life to prayer and helped lead a religious community in Paris. Her story reminds us that holiness doesn't always need an audience. Sometimes the most important work for God's Kingdom happens quietly. A WOMAN ENTRUSTED WITH LEADERSHIP Saint Aurea lived during the 600s in what is now France. She became associated with the women's monastery in Paris founded by Saint Eligius, and tradition remembers her as its first abbess. Being an abbess wasn't simply an honour. It meant responsibility. Aurea had to help guide a community of women seeking God through prayer, discipline, work and life together. Her leadership wasn't about becoming important …More
Sainte Aure - le 4 octobre Abbesse à Paris (+ 666) Saint Eloi la mit à la tête d'un grand monastère qu'il fonda à Paris en 633 et qui compta bientôt trois cents religieuses. Il construisit pour elles deux églises : l'une dédiée à saint Martial où elles allaient chanter l'office (c'était en souvenir de son pays d'origine le Limousin) et l'autre dédiée à saint Paul où elles étaient enterrées. Cette dernière est devenue l'église Saint Paul - Saint Louis dans le Marais à Paris. Sainte Aure fut emportée, avec une centaine de ses moniales, par la peste qui ravagea Paris en 666.

"We must all go out! A virgin has been born! There are so many angels on earth who torment us! We must now go out and may nevermore enter into men!’ I saw Simeon praying fervently; the wretched man was flung back and forth on the open space, and I saw the devil go out of him. It gave me great pleasure to see the aged Simeon."

At the time of Mary’s birth I saw a great and joyful agitation in nature, in the animal world, in the hearts of all good men, and I heard the sound of sweet singing. Sinners, however, were overwhelmed by fear and sorrow. I saw, specially near Nazareth, but also in the rest of the Promised Land, many who were possessed break out at that time into violent ravings. They were hurled from side to side with loud cries, and the devils shrieked from within them, ‘We must surrender, we must go out!’ In Jerusalem I saw how the aged priest Simeon, who lived in the Temple, was startled at the moment of Mary’s birth by loud shrieks coming from …More

An Outrage in 2019. No Problem in 2026. Trump Has Moved the Ethical Line. nytimes.com/…/10/04/us/politics/trump-moving-ethi… The president’s decision to hold an international summit at his own private golf club, an idea rejected in his first term, illustrates how much he has shattered norms. By Peter Baker Peter Baker, the chief White House correspondent, is covering his sixth presidency. He reported from Washington. Oct. 4, 2026, 5:02 a.m. ET When President Trump decided in his first term to host the annual Group of 7 summit of world leaders at his own private golf club in Miami, the act of self-dealing was so astonishing that it incited an uproar among fellow Republicans, forcing him to scrap the idea. Now in his second term seven years later, Mr. Trump has decided to host the Group of 20 annual summit of world leaders at his private golf club in Miami in December — and this time the plan has generated practically no protest. The unprecedented blitz of self-enrichment by Mr. Trump,…More
Leo XIV’s emphasis on peace and fraternity amounts to “100% Masonic ideology.” Paweł Lisicki, editor-in-chief of the Polish weekly Do Rzeczy, challenges in a October 2 video the claim that Leo XIV’s visit to France signals a Christian revival in Europe. Leo XIV referred to Europe’s Christian roots, but Lisicki argues that the Pope presents Christianity primarily as a source of modern ideals such as human dignity, peace and fraternity, rather than as a call for Europe to return to Catholicism. Lisicki sees this as a profound reversal of Catholic priorities, placing man rather than God, divine truth and salvation at the center. “The glory of man, the dignity of man, has replaced the glory of God,” Lisicki notes, describing recent pontificates as increasingly oriented toward the “false idol” of human dignity. For Lisicki, Leo XIV’s emphasis on interreligious coexistence and on religions serving peace and fraternity represents a secularized redefinition of Christianity—one he describes as …More
Paweł Lisicki ostro krytykuje słowa Leona XIV o roli religii. Papież podkreśla, że żywotność tradycji religijnych przejawia się w służbie pokojowi i braterstwu. Lisicki odpowiada bez ogródek: „100% ideologii masońskiej”. Jego zdaniem takie podejście sprowadza katolicyzm do budowania pokoju i braterstwa między ludźmi, zamiast stawiać w centrum Boga i prawdę religijną
