During today’s Regina Caeli prayer, Leo XIV paid tribute to his predecessor for his “great witness of faith and love.” Francis died on Easter Monday last year (April 21, 2025) at the age of 88. Leo XIV said, “In the light of the Risen Lord, we remember Pope Francis today with special affection.” Fittingly, he warned that the truth is often obscured by fake news, “that is, by lies, insinuations, and unfounded suspicions.” #newsTqowhltbxb
Bergoglio not only defied God, but his anti-magisterial teachings contradict Catholic faith and morals, demonstrating that he was not a pope either. The Church has automatically excommunicated the defenders and accomplices of heretics. That fact alone is proof of Prevost's obstinacy in rebellion against God and his complete adherence to Bergoglian heresy. Bergoglio, instead of repenting, died obstinate in his rebellion against God and the Church. And Prevost follows the same path of obstinacy and final impenitence. In the sacrilegious anti-church sect of Bergoglio and Prevost, the gates of hell prevail—namely, heresy and vice: the sin of sodomy and adultery. This further demonstrates that Prevost has not repented of being an adherent of Marxist liberation pseudotheology, nor of his act of public apostasy in worshipping Pachamama.
They have been striking civilian sites. Homes, towns, villages, schools, universities, libraries and so on. And no one in Iran is talking to trump. And what a terrible thing to do and say on Easter as he did. Bad enough he went golfing on Christmas day then had a weird crazy New Year's party. The man is not all there. And those who are involved with this war. America is going to be punished severely when the time comes.

message. It's especially important this Easter, as the war against Iran and in Ukraine have not ended. ... Brothers and sisters, through his resurrection, the Lord confronts us even more powerfully with the dramatic reality of our freedom. Before the empty tomb, we can be filled with hope and wonder, like the disciples, or with fear like the guards and the Pharisees, forced to resort to lies and subterfuge rather than acknowledge that the one who had been condemned is truly risen!In the light of Easter, let us allow ourselves to be amazed by Christ! Let us allow our hearts to be transformed by his immense love for us! Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with the desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!We are growing accustomed to violence, resigning ourselves to it, and becoming indifferent. Indifferent to the deaths of thousands of people. Indifferent to the …

Fourteen thousand people registered in a single day for the 2026 Notre-Dame de Chrétienté pilgrimage on the Paris–Chartres route, compared to 6,000 on the first day last year. The pilgrimage will take place over Pentecost, from May 23 to 25, and is expected to gather 20,000 participants walking to Chartres. A new, more accessible option - the “Jerusalem Route” - has been introduced. Shorter than the traditional 100 km walk (around 70 km), it is designed for those unable to complete the full distance. Like the main route, it also ends in Chartres, allowing more pilgrims to take part in the final stages of the pilgrimage. #newsChiagvdgui
Exorcist Explains Spiritual Warfare and Catholic Mental Health | Fr Chad Ripperger How can Catholics discern whether interior suffering is the result of demonic oppression or struggles like anxiety, depression, or emotional trauma? In this episode of A Reason For Hope Podcast, Mario Costabile sits down with Catholic priest, exorcist, and Thomistic philosopher Fr. Chad Ripperger, who explains how the Church approaches spiritual warfare, using the rich intellectual tradition of St. Thomas Aquinas to distinguish between spiritual and psychological afflictions. We explore how demons interact with the intellect, will, and passions, and how Catholics can recognize signs of spiritual attack, while understanding that not all mental or emotional challenges are demonic in origin. Fr. Ripperger shares practical guidance on discernment of spirits, the role of grace, virtue, and the sacraments, and how Catholic mental health perspectives can complement spiritual care. This conversation is essential …Mer

The Scoppio del Carro, Explosion of the Cart, is one of the most amazing Easter Sunday traditions At the Duomo in Florence, a makeshift dove is launched from the church to a cart outside with a pyrotechnic display This tradition stems from the First Crusade, when a Florentine named Pazzino de' Pazzi was one of the first to scale the walls of Jerusalem, being rewarded with flints from the Holy Sepulchre which he then returned with and used for the Easter fire
Stovky prázdnych miest počas veľkonočnej vigílie Leva XIV: Petra: Matt Butorac, sprievodca katolíckych pútí, na X. strane informoval, že počas veľkonočnej vigílie v Bazilike sv. Na záberoch z videa, ktoré zdieľal pre "tých, ktorí tvrdia, že nebolo prázdne", je vidieť baziliku počas krstov. Butorac to pripisuje problémom s lístkami a neorganizovaným radom. Krátko pred začiatkom eucharistie však bol povolený vstup bez lístkov a všetci mohli vstúpiť.
[St. Anthony of Padua XII-XIII Century AD; Lisbon, Kingdom of Portugal/Padua, Holy Roman Empire; (aged 35); powerful preaching, expert knowledge of scripture, and undying love and devotion to the poor and the sick; canonized less than a year after his death; Doctor of the Church] 9 ~ St. Saint Anthony Consoler of persecuted Women St. Anthony always took a great interest in women in- distress, or persecuted, and they therefore look on him as their special protector. Among those who, owing to the sanctity of the Franciscans, held them in great veneration and aided them in their daily wants, was a lady who suffered much from a jealous and irritable husband. One evening, after finishing some work and making some purchases for the Brothers, finding it too late to take them to the monastery that night, she took them home with her. This so greatly roused the anger and jealousy of her husband that, not content with loading her with reproaches, he pulled almost all her hair off her head. The poor …Mer
"12 ~ The Carved Capon St. Anthony was one day invited by a party of heretics to come to dine with them, in order, as they said, to give them the opportunity of laughing at his stupidity. He good-naturedly accepted their invitation. After sit ting down to table a large bat, such as are found in Sicily, was served up to him, with the request to carve it. When, without being the least disconcerted, he began to do so, they could hardly refrain from laughing aloud; but soon their laughter was changed into astonishment, for hardly had the saint begun to carve the wretched bird before it was changed into a magnificent capon, emitting the most delicious smell. This miracle so completely changed their hearts that they not only acknowledged the power of the servant of God, but renounced their errors and were received into the Church.”
