Her fiance, Guido, now a Deacon, was present for the Beatification Mass. Blessed Sandra wasn't content with living an ordinary life. From the time of her childhood, she desired a life of holiness. Starting when she was 10 years old, Sandra kept a diary, in which she wrote, “A life lived without God is just a way of passing time, whether it’s boring or fun, time to be filled in while waiting for death.” In 1974, Blessed Sandra became acquainted with the Pope John XXIII Community in Italy. That summer she spent time volunteering with young people who had disabilities. It left a profound mark on her soul and she later said to her mother, “We worked till we dropped, but these are people I’ll never leave.” As a teenager, Blessed Sandra would frequently use the pocket money from her parents to give to the poor, leaving almost nothing for herself. Her heart was focused on the most vulnerable of society and she wanted to help them in any way possible. Blessed Sandra graduated from high school …More

I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised, but here we are. I stumbled across the video online. Not going to post a link here because its utterly blasphemous.

Mathias Fuchs, a lay pastoral assistant who dresses like a pseudo-priest, presided over a "heavy metal service" on 3 May at St Martin's Church in Bruchsal, Archdiocese of Freiburg, Germany. The archdiocese supported the project morally and financially. Freiburg is the archdiocese where Archbishop Georg Gänswein, who was expelled from Rome, resides. Fuchs explained on the archdiocese's social media account that his show was "not a concert", but a church service with music. This includes singing along, clapping, dancing and 'headbanging'. According to Fuchs, God is "where it is loud, where people are happy, where they are together". The heavy metal noise was provided by the local band 'Metal GodZ' [a blasphemy?]. #newsQmxaifddrx

Pro-abortion laws, which are worse and worse from a Christian’s point of view, are coming into force in the world. Do those who call themselves Christians react to this in any way? There is, of course, a small group that fights this, but after all, it would be unnecessary to fight abortion laws, because all that would be needed is the right attitude of those who call themselves Christians. The law would be dead because it is not prescriptive, it just gives the option to murder one’s own child. A true follower of our Lord Jesus Christ would never do that. For a Christian, after all, the question of killing a child is not a matter of ‘choice’. For murderers, hell stands open, not heaven. The same situation is with the Antichrist. The issue that people do not listen to God but to the world has nothing to do with who the Antichrist is. For our souls who have immersed themselves in the mire of sin, the least important thing is whether they have committed sin by listening to themselves or to …More

Here it comes . . . the Church "void of sacraments", as our wonder Bishop Sheen prophesied. I know of a family who doesn't go to Church anymore. They stay home and bless their own bread. They were asked why and they explained it was what the Church was going to turn into, anyway. Stay confessed and be ready for just about anything.

Alice von Hildebrand: "The greatest heretics and erroneous philosophers were talented, but they lacked the one essential ingredient for anyone desiring to pursue the truth: reverence. In other words, they did not allow reality to reveal itself; they wanted to make up reality. A man can come up with all kinds of interesting ideas, but if he is to get to the truth, he must baptize his intellect with humility, which is closely related to reverence. Truth is not a matter of invention, but of veneration. We do not create truth; we serve it. This is why we cannot end our quest with acceptance of the truth, as praiseworthy as that is. We have to live out the truth in our lives, which is another way of saying our actions have to be good. The apparent beauty of our actions then points others back toward the source of all truth, goodness and beauty: God himself."

Be holy because I am holy , God said to the children of Israel . Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect, Jesus Christ said to his disciples. These words show us in God the motive and model of our holiness. If we know how to understand them, they tell us more things than the wisest and most enlightened philosophers have ever said. But we will never understand them except through divine light, and practice will develop our meaning even better than speculation. Be holy , says the Lord, because I am holy . What is holiness in God? It is the love of order. God loves order essentially; he cannot approve anything, excuse anything, suffer anything unpunished that is contrary to it. He can allow disorder in his creature, suffer it for a time, forgive it, if she disavows it and repairs it; but he reproaches him, he pursues him and he punishes him wherever he sees him, when the time of his justice has come, and that of mercy has passed. Why that ? Because he is holy. He cannot fail to …More

Orthodox reactions on both sides of the fence start to pour in: Deaconesses would turn the sanctuary into a brothel.” Elpidophoros ( USA Archbishop) expressed support for expanding women’s visibility in the church, giving his blessing to including lay girls and women in liturgical processions. But Metropolitan Saba, leader of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, the sponsor of Ancient Faith Radio, has taken a more conservative approach, quietly admonishing at least one parish that encouraged female participation in the liturgical procession. Valerie Karras, a St. Phoebe board member and retired theology and church history professor who served on faculty at Hellenic College and Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology among other schools. She described the comments as “historically and theologically ignorant,” as well as “condescending, obnoxious, vitriolic, free with ad hominem attacks” and “misogynistic.”

The electronic baptismal register of the Gurk-Klagenfurt diocese in Austria lists three imaginary genders in addition to the two existing ones. When registering a baptism, a priest can choose from five options: - male - female - mixed - diverse - open - not specified The majority of priests don't even know what the imaginary genders would mean and have never heard of them before their diocese invented them. A priest who complained to the diocesan office responsible for the form was told that the office had "no influence". Since the Second Vatican Council, the diocese of Glurk-Kagenfurt has lost over 40% of its priests and the trend is continuing. #newsPzcaahqeyf

QUESTION 25 — DIVINE POWER After science and the divine will, after what is connected with it, it remains to study divine power. 1. Is there power in God? 2. Is its power infinite? 3. Is he all-powerful? 4. Can he make things past not to have been? 5. Can he do the things he does not do, or omit the things he does? 6. What he does, could he do it better? Article 1 - Is there power in God? Objections: 1. It seems not. In fact, there is the same relationship between primary matter and power as between God, primary agent, and the act. But the raw material, considered in itself, is without any act. Therefore the primary agent, which is God, has no power. 2 . According to the Philosopher, every act is better than its power; for form is better than matter, and action is better than active power, because it is the end of it. But nothing is better than what is in God; for whatever is in God is God, as has been shown. Therefore there is no power in God. 3 . Power is a principle of operation. But …More

A Priest passing through his church In the middle of the day, Decided to pause by the altar To see who come to pray. Just then the back door opened, And a man came down the aisle, The Priest frowned as he saw the man Hadn't shaved in a while. His shirt was torn and shabby, And his coat was worn and frayed, The man knelt down and bowed his head, Then rose and walked away. . In the days that followed at precisely noon, The Priest saw this man, Each time he knelt just for a moment, A lunch box in his lap. Well, the Priest’s suspicions grew, With robbery a main fear, . He decided to stop and ask the man, 'What are you doing here?' The old man said he was a factory worker And lunch was half an hour Lunchtime was his prayer time, For finding strength and power. I stay only a moment Because the factory's far away; As I kneel here talking to the Lord, This is kinda what I say: . 'I JUST CAME BY TO TELL YOU, LORD, HOW HAPPY I HAVE BEEN, SINCE WE FOUND EACH OTHERS FRIENDSHIP AND YOU TOOK AWAY MY SIN. …More

On the last day of Parish Priests for the Synod—an international meeting of parish priests at the Vatican—Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, SJ, encouraged participants “to become ambassadors of synodality, to be full participants in a synodal Church, to become with all the people of God, missionary disciples of Jesus.” “Many times their training and their reality have been oriented towards a Tridentine model of the priesthood,” Cardinal Hollerich, the relator-general of the synod on synodality, said of parish priests, in an address to Pope Francis in the presence of participants. “And now they see that the identity they had for centuries is crumbling, and sometimes this identity is lost ... and there is the danger of wanting to build a new identity based on the experience of the past.” “The identity of priests and parish priests (even bishops) is given to us by the Holy Spirit when we walk with the people,” he continued. “Then the sacraments are no longer the expression of a ritualism in …More
