An unpublished letter by Benedict XVI on Christian prayer, dated April 27, 2021, has been published in the Italian book ‘La fede del futuro’. His short meditation. In general, prayer is the fundamental religious act. It is an attempt to establish a direct connection with God. The peculiarity of Christian prayer is that one prays with Jesus Christ and to Him simultaneously. As both man and God, Jesus can be the bridge that overcomes the infinite abyss between God and man. In this sense, Christ is the ontological possibility of prayer. For this reason, he is also the practical guide to prayer. His disciples, who had seen him pray, addressed this request to him: "Lord, teach us to pray" (Lk 11:1). They recalled that John the Baptist had taught his disciples to pray, knowing that Jesus was infinitely closer to God than even the greatest religious figure: John the Baptist. Thus, the two fundamental characteristics of prayer emerge: those relative to being and awareness. These two characteristics …Okunengi
The Washington Post and New York Times are facing a furious backlash after publishing glowing eulogies for the Iranian regime’s slain dictator, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Post, opening its obituary of Khamenei with language that softened the image of a brutal regime figure responsible for decades of repression and bloodshed. Khamenei, who was killed Saturday during “Operation Epic Fury,” a coordinated U.S.–Israeli strike on Tehran, was described by the Post as having a “bushy white beard and an easy smile.” The Post wrote of Khamenei: “With his bushy white beard and easy smile, Ayatollah Khamenei cut a more avuncular figure in public than his perpetually scowling but much more revered mentor, and he was known to be fond of Persian poetry and classic Western novels, especially Victor Hugo’s ‘Les Misérables.’ “But like the uncompromising Khomeini, he opposed moderates’ efforts to promote political and social reforms domestically and to secure rapprochement with the …

Pope Leo's Third Lenten Parish Visit: Be Goodness in the Middle of Fracture | EWTN News Nightly On Sunday, Pope Leo XIV made his third Lenten parish visit in his diocese, this time to the Ascension of the Lord Parish. The neighborhood is often defined by struggle: drug abuse, addiction, and fragility. At the Ascension of the Lord Parish, following in the footsteps of Pope John Paul II, who visited this same parish 46 years ago, Pope Leo XIV issued a challenge: to be goodness in the middle of fracture. EWTN Vatican journalist Valentina Di Donato reports.
Saint Joan of Arc, Lovely Maid of Orleans, as thou didst battle with the enemies of France to enthrone an earthly king, lead us now in our struggle against satan to establish the Kingship of Christ on Earth. Intercede for us before Christ's Heavenly Throne, that we may be victorious in our struggle against the world, the flesh, and the devil. Help us to follow your exemplary conduct in the face of our enemies and seek only the triumph of Almighty God! Amen!

Leo XIV has appointed Archbishop Mário Antônio da Silva, 59, as the new Archbishop of Aparecida. The archdiocese is significant because it houses Brazil's National Shrine. Born on October 17, 1966, he was ordained a priest on December 21, 1991, for the Diocese of Jacarezinho. Benedict XVI appointed him as Auxiliary Bishop of Manaus in 2010. Francis promoted him to Bishop of Roraima in 2016 and to Archbishop of Cuiabá in 2022. He is President of Caritas Brazil. Monsignor da Silva participated in the Amazon Synod in October 2019. He was among the drafting committee responsible for preparing the Synod's final document. Wisdom of the Indigenous and Hugging Trees In October 2019, during the Amazon Synod, Bishop da Silva used all of Francis’ buzzwords. The Synod provided an opportunity to “listen to the voice of the Amazon” and to open “new paths” for the Church and integral ecology. He also supported the concept of “ecological conversion”. He called the Synod “an opportunity to get in …Okunengi
Further proof that Prevost is not a Catholic pope, but an enemy of God and the Church who attacks Catholic faith and morals. By supporting an apostate who promotes the Amazonian rite, he defies the First Commandment and Church doctrine that forbids idolatry. Moreover, by supporting married priests, he defies even the Second Vatican Council, which they use as an excuse to brazenly endorse their apostasy, since it reaffirmed celibacy and condemned the Marxist priests of the Third World who, defying the Church, supported the abolition of celibacy and promoted married priests.
Keir Starmer today insisted he 'stands by' his decision to snub Donald Trump's Iran strikes because they were 'not thought through' - despite a brutal rebuke from the US. Making a statement to MPs on the mounting crisis, the PM acknowledged that the president was not happy that the UK initially refused to get involved. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth went further this afternoon by swiping at 'hand-wringing' from America's long-standing allies. But in a dramatic escalations of tensions in the Special Relationship, Sir Keir insisted he did not believe in 'regime change from the skies'. 'It's my duty to judge what is in Britain's national interest. That is what I've done and I stand by it.' Sir Keir is bracing for a battering from his own left-wing MPs after conducting a partial U-turn last night, agreeing that American forces can use British bases for 'defensive' actions against Iranian retaliation. As he tries to quell the backlash, the PM told the Commons: 'The use of British bases is …
The same sort of jews who were digging under a building to make more rooms where they keep children in. Police dragging out children's bloody mattress's. The same ones who were caught in Australia who were kidnapping children and using them for sex and sacrifices. I wouldn't believe those people if they were the last ones on earth.
Blessed Engelmar Unzeitig - March 2 CNA Blessed Engelmar Unzeitig (1 March 1911 – 2 March 1945), born Hubert Unzeitig, was a German Roman Catholic priest who died in the Dachau Concentration Camp during World War II on the charge of being a priest. He was a professed member of the Mariannhill Missionaries and assumed the name of "Engelmar" when he was admitted into the order. He became known as the "Angel of Dachau". Pope Francis – in 2016 – recognized the fact that Unzeitig died "in odium fidei" (in hatred of the faith) and that served as the prerequisite for his beatification that was celebrated on 24 September 2016 with Cardinal Angelo Amato presiding on the pope's behalf.
We can't listen to our governments. I found that out decades ago. They only tell us what they want to tell us. They twist everything that goes on in countries they want us to hate. I have watched many video's with Americans in Iran. As one person was trying to buy food, the street venders gave it to them free instead saying, you are our guest. We give it to you. And one of those Americans was even invited to dinner.
"As the Catholic Church, we are called to preach the Gospel to all people and invite them to conversion in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. Those who oppose this mission—whether Anglo-Zionists or, if you will, Protestant-Herodians—do not desire true peace, nor can they establish or offer it. For there is no peace without Christ." But, where is Catholic Church anno 2026? What happened to Her an Her evangelizing? Sad... Very sad...
Wait. Trump is bombing Iran to prevent them from using the nuclear weapons that were l obliterated last year? Did I get that right? Yeah. Epstein.
Imagine being stupid enough to blame bombing a country because they're a "nuclear threat" while still having this up on your own website. YOU. CAN. NOT. MAKE. IT. UP.
Good essay. The Transfiguration also reminds the Jews (both the real ones and the non-Semitic ones) that the patriarchs of the Old Testament needed the DEATH AND RESURRECTION OUR LORD to get to Heaven. So all were waiting for this event.

The image, which The New York Times first published, appears to show a young female lying on Epstein’s dining room table, receiving stitches in her head, reportedly from prominent New York City plastic surgeon Dr. Jess Ting. The scene is emblematic of the creepy medical cabal that the wealthy sex trafficker reportedly kept around him, some of whom were used to “keep his girls sexually fit.” Email conversations within the approximately 3 million files released by the Department of Justice show that Epstein had a close relationship with many elite doctors, whom he relied on for private medical services. Files reveal that he manipulated the women he was having sex with, many of them young and from overseas, with access to private healthcare and a string of medical procedures like liposuction, mole removal, or pelvic exams.
