[Saint Benedict of Nursia; V-VI Century AD; born: Nursia, Kingdom of Italy/died: Mons Casinus, Eastern Roman Empire; aged 67; Father of Western Monasticism ~ Order of Saint Benedict, Patron of Europe, Rule of Saint Benedict, Saint Benedict Medal] Chapter IX ~ Of a huge stone which was removed BY THE AID OF THE SAINT'S PRAYERS. ONE day, as the monks were erecting the walls of the monastery, there was a stone hard by which they wished to place in the building. Two or three being unable to remove it, several others came to assist them, but the stone remained as immovable as if it were profoundly rooted in the earth. This made them think the devil was seated thereon, since it could not be even stirred by so many hands. To overcome this difficulty they sent to the man of God that he would vouchsafe to come and banish the enemy by his prayers, so that they might succeed in lifting the stone. The saint came immediately, prayed and gave his blessing, whereupon the stone was lifted as easily as …More

The history class “The Catholic Intellectual Tradition” has become one of Yale’s most popular courses. Last spring, it attracted 85 students - up from just 13 a decade ago. The course explores two millennia of Catholic thought, from early Christianity and medieval mysticism to debates about war, philosophy and modern life. It has even reportedly attracted more students than long-standing Yale favourites such as “The Birth of Europe” and “The Roman Empire”. This boom comes at a time when universities are debating cuts to the humanities.
Lord Bebo & Friends RUSSIA STRIKES DECISION-MAKING CENTER Russia struck the SBU in the center of Kyiv with a geranium drone aimed at SBU head Poklad’s office in the building. This is especially interesting after SBU and GRU special services clashed in recent days in Kiev. The SBU accused GRU personnel of working with Russians. Now Russians struck the SBU?

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 6,1-5. While Jesus was going through a field of grain on a sabbath, his disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating them. Some Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is unlawful on the sabbath?" Jesus said to them in reply, "Have you not read what David did when he and those (who were) with him were hungry? (How) he went into the house of God, took the bread of offering, which only the priests could lawfully eat, ate of it, and shared it with his companions." Then he said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath." shareyourcatholicfaith
've launched a Substack. Read the essay version of this video here: What Exactly is “The West”? What exactly is "the West"? It's one of the most commonly used political concepts today. Politicians invoke the idea of 'the West' to justify wars, alliances, and trade agreements. In this video, I argue that the term has been hijacked. There is the real West — the civilizations of Europe, the people, art, faith, and history of the continent. And then there is the fake West — a post-1945 geopolitical bloc centered in Washington, inseparable from NATO and Zionist interests. These two things are not the same - and this video explains the difference. What Exactly Is "The West"?
[Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort – XVII-XVIII Century AD; born: Montfort-sur-Meu, France/died: Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre, France; aged 43, Total consecration to Jesus through Mary] 5. Exterior practices 60. Besides interior practices, which we have just mentioned, this devotion has certain exterior practices which must not be omitted or neglected. Consecration and its renewal 61. The first is to choose a special feast-day to consecrate ourselves through Mary to Jesus, whose slaves we are making ourselves. This is an occasion for receiving Holy Communion and spending the day in prayer. At least once a year on the same day, we should renew the act of consecration. Offering of a tribute in submission to the Blessed Virgin 62. The second is to give our Lady every year on that same day some little tribute as a token of our servitude and dependence. This has always been the customary homage paid by slaves to their master. This tribute could consist of an act of self-denial or alms, or a …More
"63. The third practice is to celebrate every year with special fervour the feast of the Annunciation of our Lord. This is the distinctive feast of this devotion and was chosen so that we might honour and imitate that dependence which the eternal Word accepted on this day out of love for us."
Leo does not believe that the reformed liturgy is a defective product awaiting reconstruction. Certainly, like the other popes, he is open to modifications and refinements and corrections if they are deemed necessary. Clearly, he frowns on liturgical abuse. And like Popes Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, and Francis, Leo receives the reformed rites as a positive good and an authentic fruit of the Council. And in this sense he is strongly in continuity with four of the five popes who preceded him. Only Benedict — who nevertheless affirmed its legitimacy and holiness — offered concrete criticisms of the reforming process and aspects of the resulting liturgy, which sets him apart from the broader papal consensus. Catholics who have long treated Ratzinger’s critique as the Church’s default position have the story backwards: on the liturgical reform, Benedict was the exception, and Leo — like Francis before him — stands with the rule.
[wherepeteris] Pope Leo XIV’s general audience on Wednesday clarified something that many conservative and traditionalist Catholics have been unwilling to face: the pope believes both that the liturgical reform is a good thing and that the reforms carried out following the Second Vatican Council are “firmly rooted in the living tradition of the Church.” This really should not be surprising to Catholics. Popes Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, and Francis all affirmed the reform and presented it as an authentic implementation of the Second Vatican Council’s Constitution on the Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium. Statements from these popes make clear that they believe the reform was carried out in obedience to the Council and intended to renew Catholic life. Among the postconciliar popes, Benedict XVI stands apart in having offered concrete criticisms not only of abuses, translations, or failures of implementation, but also of the process by which the reform was carried out and of aspects …More

First Letter to the Corinthians 4,6b-15. Brothers and sisters: Learn from myself and Apollos not to go beyond what is written, so that none of you will be inflated with pride in favor of one person over against another. Who confers distinction upon you? What do you possess that you have not received? But if you have received it, why are you boasting as if you did not receive it? You are already satisfied; you have already grown rich; you have become kings without us! Indeed, I wish that you had become kings, so that we also might become kings with you. For as I see it, God has exhibited us apostles as the last of all, like people sentenced to death, since we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and human beings alike. We are fools on Christ's account, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are held in honor, but we in disrepute. To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clad and roughly treated, we wander about homeless and we toil,…More
Erster Brief des Apostels Paulus an die Korinther 4,6b-15. Schwestern und Brüder, lernt an mir und an Apollos: „Nicht über das hinaus, was in der Schrift steht“, dass also keiner zugunsten des einen und zum Nachteil des andern sich wichtig machen darf. Denn wer räumt dir einen Vorrang ein? Und was hast du, das du nicht empfangen hättest? Wenn du es aber empfangen hast, warum rühmst du dich, als hättest du es nicht empfangen? Ihr seid schon satt, ihr seid schon reich geworden, ohne uns seid ihr zur Herrschaft gelangt. Wäret ihr doch nur zur Herrschaft gelangt! Dann könnten auch wir mit euch zusammen herrschen. Ich glaube nämlich, Gott hat uns Apostel auf den letzten Platz gestellt, wie Todgeweihte; denn wir sind zum Schauspiel geworden für die Welt, für Engel und Menschen. Wir stehen als Toren da um Christi willen, ihr dagegen seid kluge Leute in Christus. Wir sind schwach, ihr seid stark; ihr seid angesehen, wir sind verachtet. Bis zur Stunde leiden wir Hunger und Durst und Blöße und …More
[Saint Bridget of Sweden – XIV Century AD; born: Uppland, Sweden/died: Rome, Papal States; Patron Saint of Europe, Widow, Mystic, Spiritual Writer] Answer to the sixth question. ”As to why the wicked sometimes have greater worldly success than the good" Answer to the sixth question. ”As to why the wicked sometimes have greater worldly success than the good, I answer: This is an indication of my great patience and love and a testing of the righteous. If I were to give temporal goods to my friends alone, then the wicked would despair and the good would grow proud. Instead, temporal goods are granted to all, so that I, God, the giver and Creator of all things, may be loved by all and so that good people who become proud may be taught righteousness by means of the wicked. It is also in order that everyone may realize that temporal things are not to be loved or preferred to me, God, but are only to be possessed for the sake of sustenance, and in order that they may be all the more zealous in …More

– Folha de São Paulo, January 1, 1979 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Christmas parade through the streets of downtown São Paulo on Christmas 1957:“I am referring to the widespread secularization of mindsets, culture, art, relationships — in a word, of life itself.” Compared to previous years, this 1978 Christmas in São Paulo highlights the worsening of a phenomenon that should not exist in the first place. But if it does, it should at least spare the celebration of the Savior’s Birth. I am referring to the widespread secularization of mindsets, culture, art, relationships — in a word, life itself. In this context, secularization essentially means paganization. As the Godman is pushed into the shadows, the space He leaves is filled by very concrete and tangible “values” that are sometimes glorified as grandiose abstractions: the Economy, Health, Sex, the Machine, and many others (the anachronistic capital letters are intentional to convey my point better). Clearly, these are material “…More
