A Molotov cocktail was thrown at participants during a March for Life in Lisbon on Saturday. Fortunately, the device failed to ignite and no one was injured. The suspect was quickly detained at the scene. According to police, the 39-year-old man has caused similar disturbances in the past. Patriarch Rui Valério of Lisbon released a statement afterwards that violence is never the way: "It does not build, it does not dignify, it does not serve the truth. And it becomes even more painful when it threatens the most vulnerable, especially children, who should always be a sign of hope and never exposed to fear." #newsSxcsdqbgli

St Dismas, March 25th. ADPaul When the Jesuit, Fr Charles Dismas Clark died on 15 August 1963, the New York Times ran a long obituary with a two column headline: “Rev. C. Dismas Clark, 62, Dies; A Pastor of 3,500 Ex-Convicts.” It was a day on which tough men cried. According to Fr. Clark, the only person to whom Christ promised paradise is St.Dismas, the good thief. The Penitent Thief, also known as the Good Thief, Grateful Thief or the Thief on the Cross, is one of two unnamed thieves in Luke's account of the crucifixion of Jesus in the New Testament. The Gospel of Luke describes him asking Jesus to "remember him" when Jesus arrives at his kingdom. The other, as the impenitent thief, challenges Jesus to save himself to prove that he is the Messiah. He is officially venerated in the Catholic Church. The Roman Martyrology places his commemoration on 25 March, together with the Feast of the Annunciation, because of the ancient Christian tradition that Christ (and the penitent thief) were …تېخىمۇ كۆپ

In external matters. In times of great heat, cold or rain; in times of famine, epidemics and similar occasions we should refrain from expressions like these: “What unbearable heat!” “What piercing cold!” “What a tragedy!” In these instances we should avoid expressions indicating opposition to God’s will. We should want things to be just as they are, because it is God who thus disposes them.

"Sickness is the acid test of spirituality, because it discloses whether our virtue is real or sham. If the soul is not agitated, does not break out in lamentations, is not feverishly restless in seeking a cure, but instead is submissive to the doctors and to superiors, is serene and tranquil, completely resigned to God’s will, it is a sign that that soul is well-grounded in virtue."

Χαῖρε Kεχαριτωμένη HAIL FULL OF GRACE THE LORD IS WITH YOU! Kecharitomene– A name that Full of Grace means When the archangel Gabriel came down from heaven and the Virgin Maria greeted with these words: “Χαīρε, Kεχαριτωμένη, ὁ Κύριος μετὰ σοῦ.” (Lucas 1.28) that meant: “Hail Full of Grace, the Lord is with you.“ There is not just one polite formula used, but the deepest and most personal name werd revealed: Kεχαριτωμένη.This Greek word Kecharitomene, what translates as Full of Grace or "perfect in grace", is not just any description, but Her own identity– a unique name which belongs only to the chosen one by God, and only to Hair from all creatures.

Today, the Synod study group of African bishops (SECAM) published its final document on polygamy (below). The text firmly reiterates the Church’s teaching that marriage is monogamous by nature - one man and one woman. This is not a cultural construct, but is rooted in creation (Genesis), Christ’s teachings (Matthew 19) and the sacramental nature of marriage itself. Summary of the document: Polygamy is incompatible with sacramental marriage, contradicts the equal dignity of men and women, and cannot represent the unity between Christ and the Church. Clear Also At The Practical Level Furthermore, the document is clear that polygamists are not admitted to the sacraments. No one may be baptised while remaining in a polygamous union. There is no allowance for baptism based on promises of future change — conversion must be genuine and take place beforehand. In certain cases, the first wife may be baptised, especially if she is not responsible for the polygamy. Polygamous unions are not …تېخىمۇ كۆپ
[Saint Anselm of Canterbury/Anselm of Aosta; XI-XII Century AD; Aosta, Kingdom of Burgundy, Holy Roman Empire/Canterbury, England; (aged 72); Italian Benedictine Monk; Archbishop; Abbot; Philosopher; Theologian; Doctor of the Church] “Chapter XI ~ How all the ways of God are compassion and truth; and yet God is just in all his ways But, is there any reason why it is not also just, according to your nature, 0 Lord, that you should punish the wicked? Surely it is just that you should be so just that you cannot be conceived more just; and this you would in no wise be if you did only render goods to the good, and not evils to the evil. For, he who requite both good and evil according to their deserts is more just than he who so requites the good alone. It is, therefore, just, according to your nature, 0 just and gracious God, both when you did punish and when you spare. Truly, then, all the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth (Psalm 24:10); and yet the Lord is righteous in all his ways …تېخىمۇ كۆپ
"Chapter XV ~ He is greater than can be conceived Therefore, 0 Lord, you are not only that than which a greater cannot be conceived, but you are a being greater than can be conceived. For, since it can be conceived that there is such a being, if you are not this very being, a greater than you can be conceived. But this is impossible.”
And why I was so upset when people who call themselves Catholic actually went wild when trump a prot a great sinner was dressed like a Pope. That was a grave sin to think it was so great. No less to constantly say he is more Catholic than other Catholics or worse, More Catholics than our Priests. I don't understand what they don't understand about the title of "HOLY FATHER". That was a grave sin and still they defend the meme and trump doing that and other evil things he does daily. I still think about that. And it still breaks my heart and upsets me for Our Lord. Our Faith is nothing to joke about. EVER for ANY reason. Our Lady of LaSallete said, two worm ridden POPES! Read what St. Catherine of Siena said again. And think what Our Holy Mother said. She didn't say, two worm ridden pretenders or fakes. Or men pretending to be Popes. But POPES!
Belgian public broadcaster VRT aired a segment two months ago in which its presenters smashed statues of Jesus and Mary live. The scene was part of a so-called “rage room” meant to vent frustrations. Other smashed items included crockery and a computer screen. The three hosts were Eva De Roo, Dries Lenaerts and Sam De Bruyn. This week, Colm Flynn (EWTN) asked them whether they would do the same to symbols of Islam or Judaism. They said they would not (video below). Sam De Bruyn acknowledged that some people might feel offended, but argued that it is not a major issue in Belgium, certainly not for his audience. After public backlash, VRT issued an apology on March 24: “Eva and Dries offer their apologies. The video was intended as a humorous piece, and they underestimated how sensitive religious symbols can be. They understand that this was offensive to some people and would make different choices today.” However, there will be no serious consequences. Flemish Minister for Media Cieltje …تېخىمۇ كۆپ

We will eliminate the Iranian leadership and help the Iranian people overthrow the regime. They have killed, but they have not overthrown the regime. We will destroy Iran’s navy, air force, and air defense, as well as all missile launchers. And that has proven to be a pipe dream. Then the pressure must be ramped up even further—we will send in a landing force. Just as Einstein predicted. What would such an invasion look like? A Sunday article on presstv.ir examined the feasibility of such a plan. Why boots on Iranian soil would become strategic catastrophe for US?
