[Venerable Mary of Agreda – XVII Century AD; Agreda, Spain; Mystic; Writer; ‘Blue Nun’] “Chapter III ~ 8T. JOSEPH DISCOVERS THAT MARY IS ABOUT TO BECOME A MOTHER, WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO PENETRATE THE MYSTERY. HE ENDURES GREAT SUFFERINGS ON THIS ACCOUNT. IT was about five months since the eternal Word had become incarnate in the chaste bosom of the Virgin Mary, when St. Joseph began to observe indications of it, and to entertain suspicions. It was the more apparent, because the proportions of her pure form were so perfect, that the least change was perceptible. Deeply concerned and anxious, St. Joseph, as he one day observed her coming forth from her oratory, perceived that it was no longer possible to doubt the testimony of his own eyes. The heart of the man of God was penetrated with profound sorrow, and he was unable to resist the harrowing reflections that tormented his spirit. It may not be without utility or interest to notice some of these reflections, which increased the violence …More
I can't get enough of Saint Joseph. How great he was. So little said about him in The Bible. But that small bit you can see he was an extremely humble and holy man.
"In these perplexities the saintly husband addressed himself to God in prayer. Placing himself in His presence, ‘Eternal God and my Lord,” he said, “my desires and my groanings are not hidden from Thy divine Majesty. I find myself struggling with violent agitations, I have given my heart to the spouse which I received from Thy hands, I have trusted in her purity, but the strange appearances which I discover in her cast me into the most afflicting perplexity. It would be rash to think that she had been unfaithful and had offended Thee, seeing in her such great purity and so eminent a holiness. It is, nevertheless, impossible to deny the evidence of my senses, and sorrow must destroy me unless there be here some mystery that I have not discovered. Reason exculpates, but the senses condemn her. I see plainly that she conceals from me the cause of her condition. What shall I do? I suspend my judgment, ignorant of the cause of what I see. Receive, O God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob,…More
Cardinal Sarah expressed “deep concern and profound sorrow upon learning of the announcement by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X that it intends to proceed with episcopal ordinations without a pontifical mandate.” He wrote on LeJdD.fr that the decision would disobey the law of the Church. “We are told that this decision is motivated by the supreme law of the salvation of souls. But salvation is Christ, and He gives Himself only in the Church.” Cardinal Sarah warned that the ordinations could be “an irreversible rupture”: “How many souls risk being lost because of this new rupture?” “We are told that this act aims to defend Tradition and the faith. I know how much the deposit of faith is today sometimes despised by those who themselves have the mission to defend it.” His objection: “Faith can never lead us to renounce obedience to the Church.” “How can we continue to tear apart His Body under the pretext of saving souls?” Cardinal Sarah acknowledged that within the Church …More
If there is to be true harmony in the church my solution would be that Leo XIV would issue the mandate to allow bishops from society. How many souls would be saved if this happens? Many, many souls dedicated to Tradition. The Pope would truly be Head of The Roman Catholic Church.
02/23/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. What appeared to Western observers as a regional crisis was, in retrospect, the opening phase of a fundamental restructuring, led by the operationalisation of a “multipolar world order in the ocean.” This phrase, until recently confined to the theoretical pronouncements of Russian strategists and Belt and Road planning documents, was being forged in the waters of the Indian Ocean, the Arctic, and the South China Sea through a convergence of interests that united three powers separated by geography but united by a common adversary. To understand what happened in the Gulf in 2026, one must abandon the comfortable fiction that this was simply about Iranian nuclear ambitions or Houthi piracy. It was about the fundamental restructuring of how security is produced, who provides it, and who gets to write the rules of the world’s most important trade routes. And most critically, it was about how Washington, through seven decades of policy miscalculation …
[Venerable Mary of Agreda – XVII Century AD; Agreda, Spain; Mystic; Writer; ‘Blue Nun’] “After the saint had passed three days in the house of Zachariah, he asked permission of his blessed spouse to return to Nazareth. He took leave, with the promise to return and reconduct our sweet Lady when she should express her wishes, St. Elizabeth offered him presents praying him to accept them, but he received only a few things, because this man of God was not only a lover of poverty, but he had also a magnanimous and generous heart. He then took the road to Nazareth with the little beast that he had borrowed. Having arrived at his house, he was served there, in the absence of his spouse, by a relative who lived near,—the same who had been accustomed to bring them supplies from without, when the holy Lady was there. After having passed three months, less two days, in the house of Zachariah, in the midst of events and prodigies which do not belong to this history, the august Mary thought of …More
"After her return home, Lucifer tempted the august Mary in every way, but he was vanquished with all his infernal legions, and precipitated into the depths of hell. While the Lord had permitted Lucifer to show himself, this enemy had contrived to sow discord among the neighbors of St. Joseph. They came together, and, having called for the innocent Mary, they accused her in the presence of her husband, and in the bitterest terms, of troubling the peace of their families. This reproach was keenly felt by our queen, because of the pain which it caused to her spouse, for he had begun to remark something of her condition; and already suffered anxiety and trouble on this account, as we shall see in the following chapter. Now, the demon, ignorant of the real cause of this trouble, strove to plant the seeds of discontent within the bosom of St. Joseph, so as to make him impatient of his poverty; representing to him at the same time that his spouse Mary remained too long in her retreat and …More
On February 5, Leo XIV received priests and monks representing the Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Eritrean, Malankara, and Syriac schismatic groups, which he referred to as "churches." Catholics believe that Jesus Christ founded one church. Pope Leo XIV said: "Dear friends, the historic and cultural differences among our churches represent a wonderful mosaic of our shared Christian heritage, which we can all appreciate." He wants "to support each other so that we may grow in our shared faith in Christ." "When we remove the prejudices within ourselves and open our hearts, we grow in charity, work more closely together, and strengthen our bonds of unity in Christ."

According to church tradition, the Apostle Matthew primarily preached in Judea before traveling to establish churches in Ethiopia (likely near the Caspian Sea), Persia, and Macedonia. He is considered a founder of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and is believed to have converted many, establishing early Christian communities in these regions. Apostle Mark (the Evangelist) is primarily revered for founding the Church of Alexandria in Egypt around 49 A.D., which became the foundation for the Coptic Orthodox Church. He also established the School of Alexandria, ordained the first bishop (Anianos) and clergy in Egypt, and preached throughout the Pentapolis, Judea, Asia Minor, and Rome.
[St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori – XVII-XVIII Century AD; Marianella, Kingdom of Naples/Pagani. Kingdom of Naples; spiritual writer, composer, musician, artist, poet, lawyer, theologian; Bishop; Doctor of the Church] “Saint Agatha, Virgin ~ February 5 THIS holy virgin and martyr is held in great veneration by the Greek as well as the Latin Church; and although her original Acts have not been preserved, many well-authenticated facts concerning her martyrdom are found in the Bollandists, Surius, and others. She was a native of Sicily, and descended of a noble and opulent family. These circumstances, added to her extraordinary beauty, inflamed Quintianus, a man of consular dignity, with such love of her, that he resolved to compel her to become his wife. The edicts of the emperor Decius against the Christians having been published, he ordered Agatha to be arrested as a Christian, and conducted to Catania, where he then resided. The holy virgin having heard the proclamation against the …More
"...the saint, perceiving that her life was drawing to a close, made the following prayer: ‘ O Lord, my Creator, who hast preserved me from my infancy, hast given me strength to overcome these torments, and hast taken from me the love of the world, receive now my soul. It is time that I should at last pass from this miserable life to the fruition of Thy glory.’ Just as she had finished these words, she tranquilly expired, and went to be united to God, to praise him and love him forever. This happened in 251. Her name is mentioned in the Canon of the Mass.”
Three-quarters of a million: British Columbia school trustee Barry Neufeld opposed Canada’s SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) school curriculum and publicly stated that biological sex is limited to two sexes. As a result, a Human Rights Tribunal found him guilty of "hate speech" and fined him $750,000. The Tribunal determined that refusing to accept the ideological concept of "gender identity" as distinct from sex assigned at birth constitutes “existential denial” of "transgender people".
Dear Melbourne and Australian Catholics, we must now speak up against this as the current parishes I've visited are (not all but some) already lukewarm, homilies are weak, immodest wearing of clothes, etc, etc is possibly leading souls to Hell; this Synod will be the final nail in the coffin. I'll be contacting the Archbishop of Melbourne and various priests the grave/mortal dangers that will come about from this Synod in the Archdiocese of Melbourne and Australia. Australian Catholics, you need to make sure the that the True Magisterial Teachings are not lost in your Catholic parish where God has put you for a reason and souls will depend on your Knowledge, Gospel Love and Fortitude. You be the instrument and Our Lord Jesus Christ will work through you with the prayers of His Holy Mother. Don't wait, Start NOW in this time of Lent and beyond!
Preparations are underway for an Archdiocesan Synod, with three key themes to form the focus of the 2026 gathering: young discipleship, missionary leadership, and formation and participation. In a letter addressed the faithful, Archbishop Peter A Comensoli called the synod ‘an important moment in the life of our local Church in Melbourne’. ‘This Jubilee Year of Hope has been a time of great grace for us,’ the Archbishop wrote. ‘Throughout the year, I have been meeting with clergy and lay leaders, listening to them, and discerning with them as to how the Archdiocese of Melbourne might respond to the call to hold an Archdiocesan Synod.’ ‘From this time of prayer, grace and reflection, I now wish to share that I have initiated preparations for a Synod to be held in the Archdiocese of Melbourne in 2026.’ Next year’s synod has been part of ‘an unfolding journey’, Archbishop Comensoli explained, with Australia hosting the Fifth Plenary Council from 2021 to 2022, which he said ‘arose …
In this extract from the book, ‘Unholy Craft’ by Arnaud de Lassus, the author relates the method used by an infiltrator to convince a Catholic priest to become involved with Freemasonry. In Italy, in 1999, a book was published anonymously entitled Via col vento in Vaticano and, according to the editor the French version, “would have come from a group of high-ranking Vatican dignitaries who chose to break the law of silence.” It is a collective work describing various disorders affecting the Holy See. The chapters are not all of equal value and some call for serious reservations. Chapter 18, The Smoke of Satan in the Vatican, deals with Freemasonry and, in four very interesting pages, explains the process used to entice prelates to affiliate to the craft. There is a real novitiate for recruiting ecclesiastics to the Masonic order. Among ecclesiastics, there is a certain category of men in which Masonry seeks possible collaborators; these must combine certain gifts: keen intelligence …
"While the incense-offering was being consumed I saw Joachim in a state of ecstasy, kneeling with outstretched arms. I saw approaching him a shining figure of an angel, such as later appeared to Zechariah when he received the promise of the Baptist’s birth. The angel spoke to Joachim, and gave him a scroll on which I recognized, written in shining letters, the three names Helia, Hanna, Miriam. Beside the last of these names I saw the picture of a little Ark of the Covenant or tabernacle. Joachim fastened this scroll to his breast under his garment."
[Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich – XVIII-XIX Century AD; Flamschen, Holy Roman Empire/Dulmen, German Confederation; Mystic; Stigmatist, Writer] “2.3 ~ JOACHIM IS COMFORTED BY AN ANGEL AND RETURNS AGAIN TO THE TEMPLE TO SACRIFICE. At the same time I saw Joachim among his flocks on Mount Hermon beyond the Jordan constantly praying God to grant his supplications. As he watched the young lambs bleating and frolicking round their mothers, he felt sorely distressed at having no children, but did not tell his shepherds why he was so sad. It was near the time of the Feast of Tabernacles, and he and his shepherds were beginning to put up the tabernacles. Remembering his humiliation at the Temple, he had abandoned the idea of going tip as usual to Jerusalem for the feast and offering sacrifices, but as he was praying I saw an angel appear to him, telling him to be of good courage and to journey to the Temple, for his sacrifice would be accepted and his prayers granted. He would meet his wife …More
It is interesting that Satan very rarely attacks us directly and suggests evil thoughts. Unfortunately, most often it is the people closest to us who, at all costs, want to clip our wings. It is so human and so diabolical – sometimes it is impossible to see the difference. And we know why: a human being without God becomes a reflection of Satan on earth and, if one may say so, even something worse than Satan – who is a fallen but clever and intelligent angel, whereas man often lacks intelligence. Despite various adversities, I prayed this way every day. Later came a second prayer, which met with a similar reaction as the first one. One day I was praying in front of the statue of Our Lady of Fatima. An empty church, half-darkness and complete silence. It was in those conditions that it was born:
Informationen für das GHZ Mecklenburg-Strelitz, … Das ist ja unglaublich! Es sieht ihr ähnlich, die KI sagt, es sei sie … und es sieht auch ihrem Bruder ähnlich. Das Gefängnis, in dem Ghislaine sitzt, sollte einen DNA-Test durchführen, um das zu klären. Ich bin mir sicher, dass sie wusste, dass sie für ihre Verbrechen ins Gefängnis kommen würde und hat das wahrscheinlich auch geplant!
"There will be a schism with the SSPX." That is what the Vatican has announced through its news agency, Rome Reports (There will be schism: SSPX says “no” to the …): "There are different ways of breaking with Rome: there are heretics, who deny a truth of the faith. There are apostates, who reject not just one truth but everything. And there are schismatics; those groups that embrace the faith but break the unity of the Church and, specifically, with the Roman Pontiff." This statement is a reaction to the SSPX's response to the Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Víctor Fernández, regarding his proposal for doctrinal dialogue on Vatican II and his request to annul the episcopal consecrations announced by the Society for July 1st. The response from the Superior General of the SSPX, Father Davide Pagliarani, can be read here: Letter from Father Pagliarani to Cardinal … In Spanish:DESACUERDO DE FONDO ENTRE EL VATICANO Y LA FSSPX A PERSONAL REFLECTION ON …More
