Saint Éoghan of Ardstraw | The Irish Bishop Who Built a Community for Christ | August 23 August 23, we remember Saint Éoghan of Ardstraw, an early Irish bishop, monastic founder and missionary associated especially with County Tyrone in Ireland. Known in English as Saint Eugene, Éoghan lived around the 6th century, during the remarkable expansion of Christianity throughout Ireland. Historical information about his life is limited, and many details come from later traditions. Yet his enduring reputation tells us something important: Éoghan helped build Christian communities that continued long after his own lifetime. CHRISTIANITY IN EARLY IRELAND The Ireland of Éoghan's time looked very different from the Church we know today. Monasteries became important centres of: Prayer Scripture Learning Community Missionary activity Christianity was spreading through networks of bishops, monks, missionaries and newly established religious communities. Éoghan became part of this …More
Today, Vice President J.D. Vance attended a Mass in the Roman rite with his family at Old St. Mary’s Church in Cincinnati, reports Crisis Magazine editor Eric Sammons on x.com, who was present. “It was nice to see J.D. Vance and his beautiful family at Mass this morning,” Sammons wrote on X on August 23. Sammons said Vance lives nearby and that his family attends several Cincinnati-area parishes when in town. He added that this was Vance’s first visit to Old St. Mary’s since becoming vice president. Vance’s presence brought additional security. According to Sammons, Secret Service agents screened everyone entering the church with handheld wands and checked bags. Sammons said the screening caused only a minute or two of waiting, describing the agents as “professional, efficient, and quite friendly. He also noted that he had heard Vance say his family deliberately varies which churches it attends to avoid repeatedly inconveniencing parishioners at any one parish. #newsBibrwcfcti

Does Leo XIV Embrace Borderless Globalism? “People always come before borders, before definitions and institutions,” said Leo XIV at the Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples in Rimini, Italy, on Saturday. “This realization stands at the center of Christianity,” he continued with more platitudes, adding: “Evil is not fought with evil. It is time to oppose the false realism that rearms minds, words, and nations with the realism of mercy.”

Revelation 21:21 indicates, albeit metaphorically, that Heaven has 'pearly gates'. I suppose he is in favor of the gates of Hell prevailing against those, as well.
Prevost, UN henchman (accomplice): The mass migration, which is really a crime against our European peoples and ultimately spells the death of Catholic culture, is sugarcoated here by Prevost in an unbearable LEFTIST way.
@Diodoro Nella generalità è vero, ma chi si è consacrato al Cuore immacolato di Maria S.S, specialmente a S.Martino di Schio, dove la Madonna vuole questa consacrazione sulle catechesi del Montfort, la riceve in bocca. Sto parlando della Messa del dopo Concilio. Io stesso quando è il mio turno faccio la genuflessione, incrocio le braccia sul petto e con estrema devozione, come fossi diventato un tabernacolo vivente rinchiuso, me ne vado al mio posto inginocchiato e inizio a ringraziare, lodare, onorare il Signore per tutte le grazie ricevute. Poi al termine della S.Messa per alcuni minuti continuo tale adorazione. Io vedo che nel tempo qualche giovane mi segue. Vedo però che le persone di una certa età, non consacratesi al Cuore di Maria, continuano a ricevere imperterrite la Santissima Eucaristia sulle zampe, non memori che una volta la ricevevano in bocca. Qui non vorrei giudicare, ma mi chiedo dove sta il nostro rispetto, il nostro Amore, la nostra riconoscenza verso un Dio, che ci …More
Clandestine @WarClandestine Now that election fraud is in the spotlight, this video is arguably the most concrete evidence that the Dems use illegals to cheat. Flashback to 11/04/2016: Then President Obama openly encouraged illegals to vote in the 2016 election, and assured them that ICE and Federal law enforcement will NOT seek them out or deport them if they vote. Just four days before the 2016 election, Obama told illegals to vote, and that he would not arrest them for it. Plain as day. This is exactly why we need US MIL/ICE at polling stations in deep blue counties, because we need the illegals to be afraid to vote. We need the exact opposite of what Obama did in 2016. We need the illegals to know that if they try to cheat in our elections, they will be arrested. Whenever someone on the Left says the Dems don’t cheat in elections, or that illegals don’t vote, show them this video. Obama openly told the illegals they were safe to vote. TREASON!
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 1,45-51. Philip found Nathanael and told him, "We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law, and also the prophets, Jesus, son of Joseph, from Nazareth." But Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come from Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, "Here is a true Israelite. There is no duplicity in him." Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree." Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel." Jesus answered and said to him, "Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than this." And he said to him, "Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see the sky opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."

Woman Distributes Communion at Leo XIV’s Eucharist — One Communicant Bare-Chested During the Eucharist celebrated by Leo XIV this evening at the Port of Rimini, a woman was spreading Communion in the hand as if it were cookies. One male attendee even received Communion bare-chested, without a shirt.
First Letter of Saint Francis of Paola The original of the following letter is allegedly preserved as a precious relic by the respectable family Benedetti in the city of Spoleto: My most esteemed Lord, — Through the grace of the Holy Spirit, and through your merits, but not through my virtue, the spirit of prophecy is granted to me often to foretell most wonderful events in relation to the reformation of the Church of the Most High. From your Lordship shall be born the great leader of the Holy Militia of the Holy Spirit which shall overcome the world, and shall possess the earth so completely that no king or lord shall be able to exist, except he belongs to the Sacred Host of the Holy Ghost. These devout men shall wear on their breasts, and much more within their hearts, the sign of the living God, namely, the cross. The first members of this holy Order shall be natives of the city of ... . where iniquity, vice, and sin abound. But they shall be converted from evil to good; from rebels …More
"That man will begin to meditate on the secrets of God about the long visitation which the Holy Spirit will make and the dominion that he will exercise over the world through the Holy Militia. O! happy man, who shall receive from the Most High the greatest privileges! He will interpret the hidden secrets of the Holy Ghost, and he shall often excite the admiration of men by his revealed knowledge of the internal secrets of their hearts. O, rejoice, my lord, because that Prince above other princes, and King over other kings will hold you in the greatest veneration, and, after having been crowned with three most admirable crowns, will exalt that city, will declare it free and the seat of the Empire, and it shall become one of the first cities of the world. I say nothing more."
"The first members of this holy Order shall be natives of the city of ... . where iniquity, vice, and sin abound. But they shall be converted from evil to good; from rebels against God they shall become most fervent and most faithful in his divine service. That city shall be cherished by God and by the great monarch, the elect and the beloved of the Most High Lord."
Book of Revelation 21,9b-14. The angel spoke to me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." He took me in spirit to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. It gleamed with the splendor of God. Its radiance was like that of a precious stone, like jasper, clear as crystal. It had a massive, high wall, with twelve gates where twelve angels were stationed and on which names were inscribed, (the names) of the twelve tribes of the Israelites. There were three gates facing east, three north, three south, and three west. The wall of the city had twelve courses of stones as its foundation, on which were inscribed the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. shareyourcatholicfaith
Buch der Offenbarung 21,9b-14. Ein Engel sagte zu mir: Komm, ich will dir die Braut zeigen, die Frau des Lammes. Da entrückte er mich in der Verzückung auf einen großen, hohen Berg und zeigte mir die heilige Stadt Jerusalem, wie sie von Gott her aus dem Himmel herabkam, erfüllt von der Herrlichkeit Gottes. Sie glänzte wie ein kostbarer Edelstein, wie ein kristallklarer Jaspis. Die Stadt hat eine große und hohe Mauer mit zwölf Toren und zwölf Engeln darauf. Auf die Tore sind Namen geschrieben: die Namen der zwölf Stämme der Söhne Israels. Im Osten hat die Stadt drei Tore und im Norden drei Tore und im Süden drei Tore und im Westen drei Tore. Die Mauer der Stadt hat zwölf Grundsteine; auf ihnen stehen die zwölf Namen der zwölf Apostel des Lammes.
The globalist and elites think it's funny what they are doing to both countries. They think they are safe as they have their own crops and livestock etc for themselves. While they try to starve the rest of the world. I just saw part of a video of President Putin talking about how it's starting to hit Russia. A man that doesn't hide a thing from his people or the world. He and his administration are very transparent. Unlike Trump who hides and lies about everything. So far it's hitting them. But not as severe as the ones behind this proxy war want or anticipated. With a great President like Putin and the men he has chosen in all fields they will make out a lot better than any of us. The Blessed Mother will make sure of that.
Second Letter. The original letter is allegedly preserved in the city of Montalto in Calabria: My excellent Lord, — You and your consort desire to have children; you shall have them. Your holy offspring shall be admired upon earth. Among your descendants there will be one who shall be like the sun amidst the stars. He shall be a first-born son; in his childhood he will be like a saint; in his youth, a great sinner; then he will be converted entirely to God and will do great penance; his sins will be forgiven him, and he shall become a great saint. He shall be a great captain and prince of holy men, who shall be called the holy Crociferi (I.e the Cruciferi, cross-bearers) of Jesus Christ, with whom he shall destroy the Mahometan sect and the rest of the infidels. He shall annihilate all the heresies and tyrannies of the world. He shall reform the Church of God by means of his followers, who shall be the best men upon earth in holiness, in arms, in science, and in every virtue, because …More
"He shall reform the Church of God by means of his followers, who shall be the best men upon earth in holiness, in arms, in science, and in every virtue, because such is the will of the Most High. They shall obtain the dominion of the whole world, both temporal and spiritual, and they shall support the Church of God until the end of time. I say no more."
" Your holy offspring shall be admired upon earth. Among your descendants there will be one who shall be like the sun amidst the stars. He shall be a first-born son; in his childhood he will be like a saint; in his youth, a great sinner; then he will be converted entirely to God and will do great penance; his sins will be forgiven him, and he shall become a great saint."
Report by Patrick Lancaster US Navy veteran and independent crowd-funded journalist. Over the 8 years of the Ukraine War I made more video reports in anti-Ukraine Government (Donetsk People's Republic) controlled territory than any other western journalist. All so covered the Armenian Azerbaijan war reaching over 8 million on his youtube channel with his reports there I show what the western media will not show you. I see posts where people are posting propaganda how it's Russia murdering civilians and children. That Russia is the one to start it. And how Ukraine is winning. But just hit pieces written by paid trolls or propagandist. No proof. Nothing to back it up. I have posted dozens of this sort of video. Including what X -Military has shown and proven from other channels like Judging Freedom. So compare words with actions and the victims who cry out for help to stop zelensky and his nazi army. youtube.com/watch?v=kZsWKXDKI-0 Woman crying telling Zelensky Stop Zelensky, Stop it! Stop …More
– Folha de S. Paulo, April 18, 1978 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira This is a “sui generis” article. It is not a dissertation on a single theme in the classical mold but a confetti of information on various facts, each accompanied by a “minimum” of commentary. The common thread running through the entire article is that either the facts or the commentary have not been reported domestically. Almost all of these facts concern communist China. Preceding these news items from so far away are two comments on news from home. Widely reported, to be sure, but crying out for a quick gloss. 1. The unexpected result of the French elections – so different from what public opinion polls had predicted – showed the world that people’s genuine aspirations are often misrepresented or presented in a biased way. In fact, we don’t need to look far to see this for ourselves. June 1977: The Brazilian Congress is about to vote on a divorce bill. Some people in Catholic circles talk about calling a referendum,…More
THEY ARE EATING THE CATS "No Hay Gatos En Ceuta!" They’re eating the cats in Ceuta. Volunteer caregivers who feed the street cat colonies every day say the animals are vanishing. Dead cats are turning up cut apart. Pigeons and seagulls are being found half-devoured — three weeks after tens of thousands of migrants poured across the border from Morocco into the Spanish enclave. This is not rumor. This is what the people on the ground are reporting. We go through the primary accounts, the specific neighborhoods, what is documented vs. what is still unproven, and why the timing matters. No drama for drama’s sake. Documents and first-hand reports. If this story is going to travel, it should travel with the facts attached. Watch, share, and decide for yourself.
When I was an associate pastor in Brooklyn, there were no cats to be seen. I later found out that the Haitian housekeeper served them for super many times a month. No joke.
