[Saint Victorinus – III-IV Century AD; born: Roman Greece/died: Pettau, Roman Greece; Spiritual Writer; Martyr under Diocletian] From the Fifth Chapter 1. And I saw in the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne, a book written within and without, sealed with seven seals. This book signifies the Old Testament, which has been given into the hands of our Lord Jesus Christ, who received from the Father judgment. 2, 3. And I saw an angel full of strength proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no one was found worthy, neither in the earth nor under the earth, to open the book. Now to open the book is to overcome death for man. 4. There was none found worthy to do this. Neither among the angels of heaven, nor among men in earth, nor among the souls of the saints in rest, save Christ the Son of God alone, whom he says that he saw as a Lamb standing as it were slain, having seven horns. What had not been then announced, and what …More
"8, 9. Twenty-four elders and four living creatures, having harps and phials, and singing a new song. The proclamation of the Old Testament associated with the New, points out the Christian people singing a new song, that is, bearing their confession publicly. It is a new thing that the Son of God should become man. It is a new thing to ascend into the heavens with a body. It is a new thing to give remission of sins to men. It is a new thing for men to be sealed with the Holy Spirit."

Our family of five moved from Texas to Russia in search of a different way of life. Recently, we were honored to be invited to attend a major international conference in Moscow, where representatives from many countries gathered to discuss global security and international cooperation. My husband was invited as a guest speaker, and our family had the opportunity to attend the evening reception following the event. In this video, we share our experience, the atmosphere, the formal dinner, beautiful performances, music, and ballet that made the evening memorable. He’s Finally Home!Derek Shares His Heart and Family Pride The wife put up a video talking about her husband who joined the Russian army (which he will explain in the video). She mentioned he was only there as an iron worker. Keeping weapons in good shape, repairing etc. But he was sent to the front lines. She never mentioned if has doing any actual fighting. But she made one bad mistake. Mentioning where he was and going. …More
A man who loved Our Lady a great deal, Ken Fisher told me that Russia was a better place than the USA. A relative of mine moved there a while ago, and she said the same thing. Eventually the truth does come out.
[Saint Jerome – IV-V Century AD; born: Stridon, Roman Empire/died: Bethlehem, Palaestina Prima; aged 75-78, Translation of the Bible into Latin – Vulgate; Doctor of the Church] Chapter 26 Apollinaris, bishop of Hierapolis in Asia, flourished in the reign of Marcus Antoninus Verus, to whom he addressed a notable volume in behalf of the faith of the Christians. There are extant also five other books of his Against the Nations, two On truth and Against the Cataphrygians written at the time when Montanus was making a beginning with Prisca and Maximilla. Chapter 27 Dionysius, bishop of the church of Corinth, was of so great eloquence and industry that he taught not only the people of his own city and province but also those of other provinces and cities by his letters. Of these one is To the Lacedæmonians, another To the Athenians, a third To the Nicomedians, a fourth To the Cretans, a fifth To the church at Amastrina and to the other churches of Pontus, a sixth To the Gnosians and to …More
Tironianae Z. - Ultra Verbum Vincet @Tironianae Mark Zuckerberg built a MASSIVE data center in Georgia Just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Water pressure collapsed. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are common A billionaire gets his servers — working families get steamrolled.
There is another city where they are forcing people to sell their homes. They want them out to finish building and I am thinking so hey can use the water for the center.
New Female Vatican Prefect: "...there's the idea that all Jews should become Christians, which obviously is wrong...", said María Montserrat Alvarado in August 2022 in a youtube.com video. Yesterday, Leo XIV has appointed her as the prefect of the Dicastery for Communication.
Montse Alvarado: "There was this undercurrent of criticism of Pope Francis regarding supersessionism. That's a really big word, but it basically refers to the idea that Christianity nullifies or replaces the Jewish faith. Rather than viewing Jews as our brothers and sisters, walking hand in hand with us toward salvation, and recognizing them as God's chosen people, supersessionism promotes the idea that all Jews should become Christians. Obviously, that's wrong."
@Vincent Capuano I think there is an opus dei connection and that would makes sense! Opus dei is connected to the "conservative" US catholic community that is driving support for Trump and Zionism.
@Vincent Capuano Holy Family monestary just came out with a blistering video on the Heresy behind EWTN. So if she has anything to do with it then it is no shocker she is a heretic herself. If you know who the donors are let us know! But if you haven't watched the video and you love your Catholic Faith it's the bomb!
[Saint Jerome – IV-V Century AD; born: Stridon, Roman Empire/died: Bethlehem, Palaestina Prima; Translation of the Bible into Latin – Vulgate; Doctor of the Church] 15. What darkness, what raging madness rushing to its own destruction! You say that the mother of the Lord was present at the cross, you say that she was entrusted to the disciple John on account of her widowhood and solitary condition: as if upon your own showing, she had not four sons, and numerous daughters, with whose solace she might comfort herself? You also apply to her the name of widow which is not found in Scripture. And although you quote all instances in the Gospels, the words of John alone displease you. You say in passing that she was present at the cross, that you may not appear to have omitted it on purpose, and yet not a word about the women who were with her. I could pardon you if you were ignorant, but I see you have a reason for your silence. Let me point out then what John says, John 19:25 But there were …More

Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira In his infinite mercy, God has given us many means of sanctification. The Eucharist is the most important one. Through all the other means He gives us his grace; but in Holy Communion He gives Himself to us. This is why the Church has always surrounded the Eucharist with all veneration and tender loving care and developed various forms of worship around it. The Church has established Eucharistic triduums, weeks and congresses, holy hours, perpetual adoration, night vigils, Eucharistic processions, the feast of Corpus Christi, the feast of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, and many other liturgical or private pious practices. Also to honor Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, Holy Church has highly recommended visits to the Blessed Sacrament both in days of solemn exposition and on common days. As zealous faithful wishing to have the mind of the Church in all things, we cannot remain indifferent to that recommendation. The profound meaning of a visit to the Blessed …More
This is particularly bad news for Fr. Altmin and John-Henry Westen. They used to be prolife but now pro-life is a minor concern. The end will come BECAUSE of abortion.
“Trump is holding together a coalition of robber barons, racists and a large mass of others who are confused or angered by the current state of politics or the economy,” he said. “Bolsonaro did the same in Brazil, and De La Espriella seems to be putting together a similar grouping.”
Colombia: The frontrunner in the presidential election prays the rosary with his family before the second round. Having come in a wide lead in the first round of the Colombian presidential election, Abelardo de la Espriella publicly embraces his Catholic faith
@brhenry Sorry I don't understand the question. The talmudic SCOTUS rules in favor of abortion and who hates Catholics. Well honestly that is what the SCOTUS did show that they hate Catholics. Is that what you mean?
After the 1973 SCOTUS ruling in favor of abortion, the chief justice admitted the most enthusiastic letters he received were from Catholic women religious. Therefore we should hate all papists. Right?
[Saint John Chrysostom – IV-V Century AD; born: Antioch, Roman Empire/died: Comana, Eastern Roman Empire; aged 59-60, Archbishop; Church Father; Doctor of the Church; "golden-mouthed"] 8. Taking this then into your mind, cease charging the master; learning that it is not by way of deserting him does God let such an one suffer ill, but through desire to crown him, and make him more distinguished. And if you see a sinner punished, remember the paralytic who passed thirty eight years on his bed. For that that man was delivered over then to that disease through sin, hear Christ saying Behold you are made whole; sin no more lest a worse thing happen to you. For either when we are chastened, we pay the penalty of our sins, or else we receive the occasion of crowning if, when we live in rectitude, we suffer ill. So that whether we live in righteousness, or in sins, chastening is a useful thing for us, sometimes making us more distinguished, sometimes rendering us more self-controlled, and …More
" For if it is not possible for one not conversant with it to understand a man's art, much rather is it impossible for the human understanding to comprehend the infinity of the providence of God. For his judgments are unsearchable and his ways past finding out."
