Spaghetti and meatballs isn’t an Italian dish But Naples, we have something better: “The cuzzitiello”! It didn’t start as street food It was a habit at home, almost always on Sunday morning, while mum or nonna made the ragù, the hungriest person in the family would take the still-warm “pane cafone”, pull out the crumb, and fill that crust with sauce and meatballs That heel of bread became a bowl Today, it is one of the classics of Neapolitan street food

Belle fête du Saint Nom de Marie ! 12 septembre : Mémoire du Saint Nom de MARIE (Sanctissimi Nominis Mariæ) Ce Nom vénérable était déjà honoré depuis longtemps par un culte spécial dans quelques parties du monde chrétien, lorsqu’une insigne victoire* fut remportée à Vienne en Autriche, par le secours de la Sainte Vierge Marie, sur le cruel sultan des Turcs, qui menaçait avec insulte de soumettre les peuples chrétiens à sa tyrannie mahométane. Après une fête accordée en 1683 par Sa Sainteté le Pape Innocent XI en action de grâce, Sa Sainteté le Pape Innocent XIII voulu perpétuer la mémoire d’un tel bienfait en ordonnant que cette fête soit célébrée chaque année dans l’Église universelle en 1721. Le Pape Saint Pie X fixa la fête au 12 septembre lors de la réforme du Bréviaire romain. Il était bien juste que le nom de Marie trouvât sa place, dans nos fêtes catholiques, à côté du nom de Jésus ; le nom de Marie est un nom glorieux, un nom tout aimable, un nom salutaire. Les saints se sont …More

Peru tributes Leo XIV with the largest statue in the world. Standing 14 meters tall, the monument will rise in a seafront park in Callao overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

The privately funded monument is expected to be installed ahead of the pope’s November visit to Peru. #newsMmvrjnktky
“…the devil, as much as I may find him quite likeable—and he’s certainly not as bad as people make him out to be… perhaps he adds a little spice to people’s lives…” - Fr. Agnello Stoia, Conventual Franciscan and parish priest of St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, speaking in this undated video.
Nel video, padre Agnello Stoia parroco della Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano, dice :" ...il diavolo, per quanto mi stia molto simpatico, e non è mai così brutto come lo dipingono sicuramente... che magari mette pepe un pò nella vita della gente..."
Forgiveness Frees Your Soul From Resentment The second reading emphasizes that we are called to live for others, not ourselves, and that forgiveness is a crucial aspect of this. Forgiveness is challenging, but it is essential for our own spiritual well-being and for aligning ourselves with Christ’s teachings. Holding onto anger and resentment only hurts us, not the person who wronged us. Forgiveness is a crucial aspect of Christian teaching, requiring one person to forgive and two to reconcile. A process of forgiveness involves asking the Holy Spirit for guidance, acknowledging the hurt, separating the person from their actions, and renouncing negative beliefs and judgments. This process culminates in asking Jesus for forgiveness, blessing the offender, and seeking healing for oneself. Fr.

Book of Sirach 27,30.28,1-7. Wrath and anger are hateful things, yet the sinner hugs them tight. The vengeful will suffer the LORD'S vengeance, for he remembers their sins in detail. Forgive your neighbor's injustice; then when you pray, your own sins will be forgiven. Should a man nourish anger against his fellows and expect healing from the LORD? Should a man refuse mercy to his fellows, yet seek pardon for his own sins? If he who is but flesh cherishes wrath, who will forgive his sins? Remember your last days, set enmity aside; remember death and decay, and cease from sin! Think of the commandments, hate not your neighbor; of the Most High's covenant, and overlook faults. denicemay
Bishop Strickland about Vatican 2 and Bishop Lefebvre “GO AND REPAIR MY HOUSE, WHICH, AS YOU SEE, IS FALLING INTO RUIN” Dear Sons and Daughters in Christ, I know that some of you believe I have changed. Some fear that I have crossed over to “the other side.” Some wonder whether, after years of speaking plainly and courageously about the crisis in the Church, defending the traditional Roman liturgy, questioning what was done in the name of the Second Vatican Council, and speaking openly about Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, I am now retreating from those convictions. Some of you may even feel betrayed. So before I say anything else, I want to say this plainly: I have not moved. The words Christ spoke to St. Francis at San Damiano – “Go and repair my house, which, as you see, is falling into ruin” – have weighed heavily upon my heart. I have not forgotten what happened to the Church. I have not forgotten what happened to the sacred liturgy, to Catholic catechesis, to religious life, to priestly …More
Bishop Strickland "There is a phrase Catholics have heard for more than sixty years. “Vatican II changed that.” Why don’t we hear Latin anymore? Vatican II. Why did the Mass change? Vatican II. Why did Gregorian chant disappear from so many Catholic churches? Vatican II. Why did practices surrounding Holy Communion change? Vatican II. Why did sanctuaries change? Vatican II. Why did so many customs Catholics had known for generations suddenly disappear? Again and again, the answer was simply, “Vatican II.” Those two words became an explanation for almost everything that happened in Catholic life in the years following the Council. But lately I have been wondering whether that explanation is the right one. Not because Vatican II called for no change. It certainly did. But because when we actually sit down and read the documents of the Council, something interesting begins to happen. We discover that some things commonly attributed to Vatican II are not actually in Vatican II. Other things …More
The sky broke open over the Peruvian Amazon, and a teenage girl in a sleeveless summer dress fell out of it still buckled into her seat. She was seventeen. Her name was Juliane Koepcke, and on December 24, 1971, she was supposed to be spending Christmas with her father at a remote research station in the rainforest. She and her mother, Maria, had stayed behind in Lima for one very ordinary reason: Juliane wanted to attend her high school graduation ceremony. That small teenage decision is what put them on LANSA Flight 508 on Christmas Eve. The hop from Lima to Pucallpa was supposed to take about an hour. Roughly twenty-five minutes in, the Lockheed Electra flew into a wall of black weather. Turbulence emptied the overhead bins. Christmas parcels rolled down the aisle. People began to scream. Then lightning struck the aircraft, the right wing tore away, and the plane came apart in the air. Juliane remembered her mother saying, very quietly, that this was the end of everything. And then …More
