“Dad, you should really start thinking about what to do with the house.” “What do you mean?” “Well… if something were to happen to you—God forbid—it’s better to sort everything out ahead of time. So there’s no confusion later. You know?” He lowered his eyes. It wasn’t the first time he’d heard something like this. But it was the first time it had been said straight to his face. Plainly. Without hints. Without gentleness. “Don’t take it the wrong way, Dad,” they added quickly. “We just want everything to be clear. So no one gets more than anyone else. And so no outsider shows up later claiming something.” There it was. The real fear wasn’t losing their father. It was losing his property. That house. But to him, that house wasn’t just walls and bricks. It was his life. It was where he watched his children grow up. Where he spent sleepless nights with his wife, pacing the floor with a crying baby. He worked overtime, saved every dollar, denied himself so much—not to build an …More
As 2025 ends, "the Church invites us to place everything before the Lord, entrusting ourselves to his Providence, and asking him to renew, in us and around us, in the coming days, the wonders of his grace and mercy."
Catholics really need to wake up on this issue, especially around New Year’s celebrations, because astrology, Feng Shui, Fortune telling, superstition, and all these so-called “pampaswerte” practices are not cute, not harmless, and definitely not compatible with the Catholic faith. They are not “extra traditions,” they are rival belief systems. Full stop. The moment a Catholic asks, “What does my horoscope say for the New Year?” or carries a lucky charm “just in case,” something has already gone wrong spiritually. You’ve shifted your trust even slightly away from Divine Providence and placed it in fate, objects, rituals, or hidden forces. And that’s not neutral ground. Astrology is fundamentally fatalistic. It claims your life, personality, and future are determined by the movement of stars and planets. But Christianity says the exact opposite: your life is governed by a personal God who knows you by name, who numbers the hairs on your head, and who entered history in the flesh. …More

On On this day, New Year’s Eve, we remember Pope Benedict XVI, who passed into eternity on December 31, 2022, a quiet giant of the Church in an age that hated clarity. He was not a politician pope, not a showman, not a populist. He was a priest and a theologian to the end. Benedict understood that the crisis of the Church was not primarily moral or structural but liturgical and doctrinal. Lose the sense of God, and everything else collapses. He gave us Summorum Pontificum, restoring the Traditional Latin Mass as a right, not a favor, because he knew that what was sacred for centuries cannot suddenly become harmful. He taught that faith and reason are not enemies, that truth is not oppressive, and that beauty evangelizes when words fail. His resignation shocked the world, but even that act was marked by humility and obedience to conscience. History will be far kinder to Benedict XVI than his critics ever were. Requiescat in pace, Holy Father.
