Walk By The Spirit, Not Yourself The people recognized Jesus as God visiting His people, but they didn’t fully understand His divinity. To truly live by the Spirit, as St. Paul instructs, we must not only acknowledge our dependence on God but actively walk according to the Spirit, rejecting worldly ways and conforming ourselves to Christ. This requires humility and a willingness to be dependent on God, not just for salvation but for guidance in living a virtuous life. Fr.

Not long ago I posted two videos from Father Gruner with his own words about Russia, The Consecration and Putin. I now have one more to post. It seems there are about 3 people on GTV that twists words and meanings and posts from the past. Here is an example. On October 7, 1953, the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, during the consecration of the Fatima Basilica, the Patriarch of Lisbon, Cardinal Cerejeira, delivered a speech in which he described Fatima as " a wonderful anti-Russia. Russia has taken on the role of anti-Rome, or rather, the Rome of the Antichrist. It is leading the attack of militant atheism against the Christian Church in the world. It desires to destroy the Kingdom of God on earth. It professes the blasphemous Gospel – the salvation of man by his own efforts, without Christ." Here is the third video from Father Gruner from 12 years ago while President Putin is President. It's a Blessing not a condemnation for Russia. GOD and ONLY GOD Can see the heart of a person.

Archbishop Renzo Pegoraro, President of the Pontifical Academy for Life, claims that Catholics could morally assent to a law permitting assisted suicide in Italy. Speaking to the Italian bishops’ newspaper Avvenire.it on September 6, he said: “From the Catholic side, it is a matter of assessing whether we will be faced with an ‘imperfect law’, to which it would nevertheless be moral to give one’s assent, in view of the fact that more permissive and libertarian laws could otherwise quickly be approved in Parliament, laws far more harmful to the dignity of the sick person and the value of life.” Leo XIV appointed Archbishop Pegoraro as President of the Pontifical Academy for Life on May 27, 2025. For a decade, he had already drawn attention for serious deviations from Catholic doctrine on matters of life, including statements that contraception might be morally permissible under certain circumstances. On March 25, 2026, Leo XIV appointed Pegoraro a titular bishop and gave him the personal …More

Proverbs 8:22-35 Our Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways, before he had made any thing from the beginning. From eternity I was ordained & of old before the earth was made. The depths were not as yet, and I was now conceived, neither had the fountains of waters as yet gushed forth: the mountains with heavy hugeness stood not as yet: before the little hills I was brought forth: he had not yet made the earth, and the rivers, and the poles of the round world. When he prepared the heavens, I was present: when with a certain law and circuit he compassed the depths: When he established the firmament above, & poised the fountains of waters: when he compassed the sea with her limits, and set a law to the waters that they should not pass their bounds: when he hanged the foundations of the earth, I was with him framing all things: and was delighted every day, playing before him at all time, playing in the world: & my delights to be with the children of men. Now therefore children hear …More
