The sea obeys and fetters break, and lifeless limbs thou dost restore, whilst treasures lost are found again, when young and old thine aid implore. Pray for us Saint Anthony.
It’s easy to call yourself a good father when someone else is carrying the weight of fatherhood for you. It’s easy to say you love your children when their mother is the one doing the hard work every single day. She’s the one scheduling doctor appointments, helping with homework, calming fears, attending school meetings, and staying awake through sleepless nights. You may claim the title of “good dad,” but do you know their favorite food? Their closest friends? What keeps them awake at night? Do you notice when they’re hurting, struggling, or simply need someone to listen? Being a father is more than providing money or sending the occasional message. It’s more than claiming love from a distance. Real fatherhood is built through presence, consistency, sacrifice, and involvement. While she gives her time, energy, patience, and heart, you cannot expect recognition for showing up only when it’s convenient. A child doesn’t measure love by words—they measure it by who is there. Because …More
'But you may be asking yourself: “How can the laity save the Church if the men in the Vatican are allowed to trample over the Catholic Faith unchallenged?” The first answer is: We can’t. Only God can save his Church. The second answer is: God wants each one of us to play our parts. Our role as lay people is to defend the truth.'
Fri Jun 12, 2026 - 10:35 am EDTFri Jun 12, 2026 - 1:47 pm EDT (LifeSiteNews) — Dear friends, On September 24, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen will be beatified. Sheen won Emmy Awards, converted American elites, filled Madison Square Garden – and at one point, hosted the most-watched show on television. But what matters most today is what he told the Supreme Convention of the Knights of Columbus in June 1972. Here’s what he said: Who is going to save the Church? Not our bishops, our priests and religious. It is up to the laity. You have the minds, the eyes, the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops, and your religious act like religious. That charge has only grown heavier with the decades. If you want to help us in this mission, then please give today: DONATE Sheen’s comment raises an obvious question: save the Church from what? In 1948, Sheen sounded the alarm about a coming “counter-church.” He warned this “Ape …
Achtung, Reichelt!Ein fleißiger Islamist ist vor allem eines: ein Islamist Es ist unsere historische Pflicht zu sagen, dass wir keinen einzigen Islamisten auf unserem Boden dulden. Wer von "kriegstüchtig" spricht, muss auch fordern, dass die Grenzen verteidigt und alle abgeschoben werden, die illegal kamen – egal ob "fleißig" oder nicht. Ein fleißiger Islamist ist vor allem eines: ein Islamist.

An Albanian construction worker remains in a medically induced coma after being brutally attacked by a group of North African men while attempting to defend an elderly man from harassment in the Italian coastal district of Lido Tre Archi near Fermo. Blerim Muça, 50, suffered life-threatening head injuries after intervening in an altercation at a bar on Via La Malfa on the evening of 4 June. According to Italian media reports and witness accounts, Muça had stopped for a coffee with his father-in-law after work when he noticed a group of young men repeatedly insulting and mocking an elderly patron inside the building.

During the assault, Muça was reportedly struck several times, including a blow to the head with a stone that left him unconscious on the ground. Emergency services transported him first to Fermo Hospital before …
[Blessed Henry Suso; XIII-XIV Century AD; born: Uberlingen, Holy Roman Empire/died: Ulm, Holy Roman Empire; (aged 70); Religious, Priest; Mystic; German Dominican Friar] “ Chapter VI ~ How Deceitful the Love of This World is, And How Amiable God Is The Servant.--Alas, sweet Lord, how completely bewitched must they all be not to see this! Eternal Wisdom.--They stand in deep blindness. They endure many a hard struggle for pleasures which they neither fix their attachment nor afford them full gratification. Before they obtain one joy they meet with ten sorrows, and the more they pursue their lusts the more are these upbraided with being insufficient. Lo! godless hearts must needs be at all times in fear and trembling. Even the fleeting pleasure they obtain proves very harsh to them, for they procure it with much toil, they enjoy it in great anxiety, and lose it with much bitterness. The world is full of untruth, falsehood, and inconstancy; when profit is at an end, friendship is at an end …More
"Eternal Wisdom.--I was the best regulated of men, and yet the most self-mortified. How may that be regulated which, from its very nature, corrupts the heart, confuses the mind, perverts discipline, draws off the heart from all fervor, and robs it of its peace? It breaks open the gates, behind which godly living lies hidden, that is, the five senses. It casts forth sobriety and introduces audaciousness, the loss of grace, estrangement from God, interior tepidity, and exterior sloth."
On June 12, Raymond Arroyo spoke with New York diocesan priest Gerald Murray and journalist Robert Royal about Leo XIV’s trip to Spain. Main quotes. Raymond Arroyo: “Pope Leo XIV's call for reviving the Christian identity in Europe seems to be in direct conflict with the reality of an unchecked and open immigration policy. Aren't those mixed signals?" Gerald Murray: "Yes, it is discounting the fact that part of the reason why Christian identity is eroded is that governments which don't favor Christianity want to make peace with Islamic people coming into the country.” Robert Royal: "I don't think that the Church has really taken the proper measure of the difficulty of absorbing Islam into Western Europe.” The pope “is trying to paper over the conflict, you know, the way that the Christians had to reconquer Spain." Gerald Murray: "You have basically Catholics in Europe and serious Protestants. They face a double-edged sword. On the one hand, secular leftist governments who don't want …More
1 Kings 21:1-16 God teaches us that the only true authority is love, the joy of a child, welcoming, and respect. Matthew 5:38-42 Jesus said, "Offer no resistance to one who is evil." There are two good reasons for this: to ease tension, and to allow time to find equitable solutions. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
