May 12 - Saint Nereus - Saint Achilleus - Martyrs - 080 Nereus and Achilleus were early Roman soldiers and members of the Praetorian Guard, the emperor’s bodyguards, who are said to have been converted and baptized by St. Peter himself, and later martyred for their faith in Christ. Most of what we know of them comes from an epitaph written by Pope St. Damascus: "Nereus and Achilleus, the martyrs, joined the army and carried out the cruel orders of the tyrant, obeying his will continually out of fear. Then came a miracle of faith: they were suddenly converted, gave up their savagery, and fled the camp of their evil leader, throwing away their shields, armor, and bloody spears. Professing the faith of Christ, they were happy to be witnesses to its triumph.” By these words of the Holy Father, we can understand what great deeds can be brought about by Christ’s glory; for, being once participants in the persecution of Christians themselves, Nereus and Achilleus knew perhaps better than any …More

Hl. Pankratius - 12. Mai. Märtyrer, Eisheiliger * um 290 in Phrygien in der heutigen Türkei † um 304 in Rom Die Legende erzählt, dass der verwaiste Sohn eines reichen Römers 303 mit seinem Onkel Dionys nach Rom reiste. Mit seinem ererbten Vermögen half er dort den verfolgten Christen, besonders den um ihres Glaubens willen Gefangenen. Nach dem Tod des Onkels wurde Pankratius von einem der Verfolgungsbefehle Kaiser Diokletians erfasst und vor den Kaiser gebracht. Der Vierzehnjährige ließ sich trotz aller Verlockungen nicht vom Glauben abbringen, deshalb wurde er öffentlich enthauptet, sein Leichnam Hunden zum Fraß vorgeworfen. Eine Christin barg ihn unter Lebensgefahr und setzte ihn in den Katakomben an der Via Aurelia bei. Über seinem Grab errichtete Papst Symmachus im Jahr 500 eine Kirche, an deren Stelle die heutige Kirche S. Pancrazio fuori le mura steht. Kaiser Arnulf von Kärnten schrieb seine Eroberung von Rom am 12. Mai 896 der Fürbitte zu Pankratius zu, worauf die Verehrung des …More

Francis urged Italians on May 10 to have children, calling for long-term policies to help families and warning that the country’s demographic crisis was threatening the future. “The number of births is the first indicator of the hope of a people,” Francis said at an annual gathering of pro-family groups. “Without children and young people, a country loses its desire for the future.” Italy’s birth rate, already one of the lowest in the world, has been falling steadily for about 15 years and reached a record low last year with 379,000 babies born. In 2015, Francis said that Catholics shouldn’t “breed like rabbits”. He claimed that “responsible parenthood” requires the spouses to regulate the births of their children.

The real tragedy is that both when Pope Francis was discouraging women from getting pregnant, or as he is now doing, encouraging women to have babies, the interests of God were not any of his concerns. His only interest is that of the world's.
So, we know Tucho is going "Touch" some of the approved apparitions next week. I propose that Catholics get better at discerning apparitions now (while we still have the chance).

ONCE WE LOSE A SOUL, WE LOSE IT FOREVER. The happiness of my soul is my happiness. In order to achieve this happiness, I must pass the test of life. The trial is short, and eternity hangs from it. Man’s life is like a wave that rises for a moment and then falls on the vast surface of vanishing time. And man in the course of this short life sees himself confronted with an extremely important choice. The current of relations that surrounds him is not in his power. But he can choose in this current a direction towards either infinite happiness or eternal torment. In this trial you should co-operate faithfully with grace; your happiness in your hand laid. You must choose! You stand at a crossroads; the road that seems more difficult to you leads to your destination; the more comfortable road leads to a bottomless abyss. Almost constantly, life confronts you with a choice between evil and good. Each such choice is fraught with meaning. Evil grows quickly, good grows slowly; the nettle grows …More

Abortion is killing Canada’s future. Now there’s an app for it There’s even an app for it now. UBC Jonathon Van Maren Fri May 10, 2024 - 2:47 pm EDT Listen to this article 0:00 / 4:44 1X BeyondWords (LifeSiteNews) — Canada desperately needs babies. It is less controversial to say that than it was just a few years ago, but progressive politicians still campaign on abortion and birth control (the NDP’s Jagmeet Singh is currently attempting to present himself as a feminist hero for insisting that the Canadian government pay for voluntary sterility) rather than championing pro-natal policies. It is simply true to say that based on their public statements – and antics – our leaders are simply more passionate about abortion than they are about boosting the birthrate. As Canadian media outlets are increasingly willing to admit, the baby shortage is going to impact every aspect of Canadian life in the years ahead. Nobody has mentioned it out loud yet, but Canadian euthanasia rates are going to …More
