The Rosary as a Spiritual Weapon Just as Our Lady of Lepanto delivered Christendom from physical destruction, the Holy Rosary remains one of our most powerful spiritual weapons against the culture of death, especially the evil of abortion. by Lyn Wade Each time we pray the angelic salutation of the Hail Mary, we not only honour the Mother of God, but also adore the blessed fruit of her womb: Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Son of God, who sanctified the unborn by taking flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary. Our Response to a Spiritual Battle To confront the evil of abortion, which is deeply entrenched in our society, Catholics cannot rely on secular or political strategies alone. While pro-life rallies and sidewalk counselling have their place, this is ultimately a spiritual battle. For this reason, we must turn with confidence to the enduring power of this Marian devotion: the Holy Rosary. The true battlefront is spiritual, and it is fought on our knees through prayer, sacrifice and …
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 6,1-6.16-18. Jesus said to his disciples: "Take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise, you will have no recompense from your heavenly Father. When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing, so that your almsgiving may be secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you. When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you. When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites. …More

BREAKING: Pope Leo on the SSPX consecrations — “I am considering making another appeal and saying ‘don't do this, let's try to live the communion of the Church.’ But it is their choice. We must realize what it means for them and for the Church. Certainly, the division among x.com/MLJHaynes/status/2066993646189293914/video/1
This is the first I have heard Leo talk about SSPX. He publicly says "don't do this". I think Leo believes the pope can inject LGBT into Catholic theology! This is outside the scope of his job description.
Let's be honest. If that were a SWAT raid in the US, it would have been a scene of teargas and blood. And, while I genuinely hope the best for all of the people involved, I don't shed any tears for the take-down of a "church" of the most damaging heretical sect of Christianity for several centuries: Protestantism.
[Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich; XVIII-XIX Century; born: 8 September 1774 Flamschen, Coesfeld, Prince-Bishopric of Münster, Holy Roman Empire/ died: 9 February 1824 (aged 49), Dülmen, Kingdom of Prussia, German Confederation; mystic, Marian visionary and stigmatist; Roman Catholic Augustinian canoness] MEDITATION VI ~ The last Pasch Jesus and his disciples ate the Paschal Lamb in the supper-room. They divided into three groups. Jesus ate the Paschal Lamb with the twelve Apostles in the supper-room, properly so called; Nathaniel with twelve other disciples in one of the lateral rooms, and Eliacim (the son of Cleophas and Mary, the daughter of Heli), who had been a disciple of John the Baptist, with twelve more, in another side-room. Three lambs were immolated for them in the Temple, but there was a fourth lamb which was immolated in the supper-room, and was the one eaten by Jesus with his Apostles. Judas was not aware of this circumstance, because being engaged in plotting his betrayal …More
"When Jesus spoke of a traitor, an expression which filled all the Apostles with fear, he said: ‘he that dippeth his hand with me in the dish,’ which means: ‘one of the twelve who are eating and drinking with me—one of those with whom I am eating bread.’ He did not plainly point out Judas to the others by these words; for to dip the hand in the same dish was an expression used to signify the most friendly and intimate intercourse. He was desirous, however, to give a warning to Judas, who was then really dipping his hand in the dish with our Saviour, to distribute the lettuce. Jesus continued to speak: ‘The Son of Man indeed goeth,’ he said, ‘as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man shall be betrayed: It were better for him if that man had not been born.’
2nd book of Kings 2,1.6-14. When the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, he and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. Elijah said to Elisha, "Please stay here; the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan." "As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live," Elisha replied, "I will not leave you." And so the two went on together. Fifty of the guild prophets followed, and when the two stopped at the Jordan, stood facing them at a distance. Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up and struck the water, which divided, and both crossed over on dry ground. When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask for whatever I may do for you, before I am taken from you." Elisha answered, "May I receive a double portion of your spirit." "You have asked something that is not easy," he replied. "Still, if you see me taken up from you, your wish will be granted; otherwise not." As they walked on conversing, a flaming chariot and flaming horses came between them, and Elijah went up to heaven …More

– Folha de S. Paulo, February 23, 1981 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira I am taking a deep interest in the Polish question and I think the reader should too. It is quite true that for many religious, historical, ethnic, and geographical reasons Poland of itself merits special respect and affection from all Catholics. Consequently, current events there should attract everyone’s attention. But at the present we are led to that conclusion by reasons of an even greater import. For the world, the events in Poland are constituted as a sign of the future. If the unique relationship, which a newspaper has called “the Polish triangle,” between the Warsaw government, the episcopate, and the coalition of workers’ organizations labeled “Solidarity” is successful, then something in communism has changed. Or something has changed in the Church, and therefore, in the world. Something, indeed, that until a while ago was steadfastly deemed immutable. How can I affirm this? Perhaps a metaphor would be …More
Leader:"A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning— Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted, because they are no more." Matthew 2:18 Response: Lord, have mercy on the children who were never held. For the infants of Bethlehem, slain by Herod’s fear:We remember their cries, silenced by power.R: Rachel, mother of sorrow, intercede for them. For the unborn lost to abortion, known only to God:We mourn their absence and the silence that surrounds them.R: Rachel, mother of lament, weep with us. For mothers who grieve in secret, burdened by shame or regret:We ask for healing, mercy, and the embrace of divine compassion.
ArchBishop Vigano: Only way any rejuvenation of the Church comes about is by stripping the clergy of its finances, good foods, nice autos, and beautiful rectories and homes. Nothing works except pain. Nothing else will bring the Church to its roots.
