Peter Srsich was 19 when he traveled to the Vatican in May 2012 through the Make-A-Wish Foundation while suffering from advanced Hodgkin’s lymphoma pressing on his heart, so severe doctors couldn’t perform a biopsy.
After intense treatment and suffering, Peter drew strength from the Eucharist and trusted God could heal him. During an audience in St. Peter’s Square, his father gave Pope Benedict XVI a bracelet reading “Pray for Peter.” When Peter asked for a blessing, the Pope unexpectedly placed his hand directly on Peter’s chest, where the tumor was.
From that moment, Peter steadily improved and, against all medical expectations, fully recovered. He later entered seminary and was ordained a priest on May 15, 2021.
Saint Pio and Saint Pope John Paul II’s friendship dated back to 1947 when the young Father Karol Wojtyla was engaged in doctoral studies at Rome’s Pontifical International Athenaeum Angelicum, the future Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas.
As they say, 'It takes one to know one.' Inasmuch as I might fault Pope JP II on what he could have done to prevent our current malaise in the Church (not limited to some of his dubious appointments of turncoat ecclesiastics) I believe he aspired to be saintly in his own priestly life.
Pope Leo has named Rev. Don Stefano Cascio as Vice Director of the Laudato Si’ Center for Advanced Training, an initiative established by Pope Francis to promote integral ecology by addressing climate change, sustainability, and social justice. The appointment underscores both continuity and a renewed strengthening of the Vatican’s commitment to the principles of Laudato si’.
About as useful as a screen door on a submarine. But the same could be said about this alleged papacy.
When he was thirty, someone once told him a strange line: “At fifty, you’ll finally meet the most important woman of your life.”
He laughed it off at the time.
His name was Alex.
Twenty years passed, swallowed by work, responsibility, and achievement.
He built a business, spent half his life on planes, provided well, checked every box that society hands to grown men.
He and his wife, Irene, lived quietly. No fights, no drama — but not much closeness either.
Two people sharing a roof, not a life.
There was no time for feelings. Only duties.
Then came the heart attack.
Not a major one, but loud enough to shake him awake.
Recovery forced him to slow down. One day he caught his reflection in the mirror — a tired man with graying hair staring back. It took him a moment to realize that man was him.
The emptiness arrived quietly.
The kids were grown and gone, the marriage held together mostly by habit, the business still running yet suddenly pointless. There was no “next mountain” to …More
I said it in one of the dreams I shared that the Lord showed me 17 years ago, and confirmed last year with the sign of the cross drawn with the clouds in the sky outside my house that WW 3 will start during the presidency of Donald Trump when a solar eclipse and a blood moon eclipse happen. I mentioned the main nations involved in the beginning of this war. The world is now entering the judgement to all nations, the GREAT TRIBULATION WHICH STARTED LAST YEAR, AND THE PAINS WILL INCREASE GRADUALLY AS A WOMAN READY TO GIVE BIRTH. OFFER ANY ILLNESS, PAIN, SUFFERINGS YOU MAY BE GOING THROUGH TO OUR LADY TO OFFER TO OUR LORD FOR THE SALVATION OF SOULS, AND THANK THE LORD DAILY ALL DAY FOR ALL HIS BLESSINGS, BECAUSE EVEN EATING AND DOING YOUR BODILY NEEDS ARE HUGE BLESSINGS AND WE NEVER GIVE THANKS FOR THAT.
I skipped many details in my 3 dreams, because in all 3 I say over and over again that we must pray unceasingly, this can not be avoided, it will happen but we need to pray for the salvation …More
A time will come when the decisive battle between the kingdom of Christ and that of Satan will be over marriage and the family. And those who work for the good of the family will experience persecution and tribulation. But there is no need to be afraid, for Our Lady has already crushed their heads!
Venerable Lucia Dos Santos (Fatima visionary)
Yes this looks like the fake Sister Lucia or the real one with a Miami surgical makeover.
A battle of Catholics with false sister Lucy and false ideologies of post-conciliar popes?

The Wasteland of Lust: Church Fathers Cry of Repentance
Hearken, O brethren, and incline your ears! The earth lies desolate, the cities in ashes, and the hearts of men are hardened, not by famine nor by war, but by the insatiable craving of the flesh, which is always disordered, enslaving, and without end. Augustine teaches that concupiscence, flowing from the first transgression, bends reason to serve desire, and darkens the mind. Chrysostom cries: pleasure of the flesh sought for itself never rests, never satisfies, and enslaves the soul.
Scripture commands: “Flee fornication” (1 Corinthians 6:18), and, “the unmarried man cares for the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord” (1 Corinthians 7:32). Let all know: virginity and continence are the crown and weapon of the faithful, for the flesh finds rest only in restraint, and the soul ascends to God in purity. Jerome declares: “Virginity is a crown, continence a weapon; he who conquers the flesh reigns with God.” Gregory of …More
Thank you!
Some people say Catholics leave the Church because Catholicism is weak.
But here’s the real question: "Why do people usually leave because they never learned the faith, while many converts enter because they studied it deeply?"
History shows a clear pattern. When Catholics are poorly catechized, they often drift away without knowing what the Church actually teaches about Scripture, the Eucharist, the sacraments, or apostolic authority. The Bible itself warns us about this reality: “My people perish for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).
At the same time, many former Protestants tell the opposite story. They didn’t convert because of emotions or pressure. They converted after serious study. They read the early Church Fathers. They examined how the Bible was formed. They studied the Eucharist, apostolic succession, and the authority Christ gave to the Church. And the more they studied, the more Catholic Christianity matched what they found in history and Scripture.
Jesus said, “The truth …More
"Weak Catholics become protestant; strong protestants become Catholic."
“In almost nine cases out of ten, those who have once had the Faith but now reject it, or claim that it does not make sense, are driven not by reasoning but by the way they are living”
