Leo XIV rejected assisted dying at Lourdes, warning against “false compassion” and declaring that “what is legal is not necessarily moral.” Pope Leo XIV on Sunday strongly rejected euthanasia while addressing sick and disabled people and healthcare workers at the Sanctuary of Lourdes, France. Speaking at the Accueil Notre-Dame, Leo XIV said the human person is “worthy” simply by virtue of existing and that human dignity “cannot be measured or debated.” “No human law should ever make you lose the certainty of your dignity,” he said. He continued: “We must reject the temptation to cause death under the guise of false compassion.” Leo XIV added: “It is impossible to regard causing death as something normal. What is legal is not necessarily moral.” Turning directly to healthcare workers, he said their vocation is “to care for a suffering person, not to eliminate that person.” The Pope also repeated a warning he made in June that medicine must never become “the servant of programmed death,”…Aswan

Let God Amaze You! Liturgy of September 20 – 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time Dear brothers and sisters, we cannot deny that listening to the Word of God often disrupts our way of thinking, challenges our actions, and turns our priorities upside down. The Liturgy of the Holy Mass of Sunday, September 20, is a shining example of this. Actually, from the words God speaks through the prophet Isaiah, in the first reading, reminding us that His thoughts are not our thoughts, to Saint Paul’s invitation, in the second reading, to conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel, and eventually to Jesus’s revolutionary statement, in the passage from the Gospel of Matthew, revealing to us that the first shall be last and the last shall be first, it clearly shows how urgent it is for us to "tune in" to the "wavelength" of divine logic. That’s why we must avoid the bitter and horrible surprise, at the end of our lives, of finding ourselves neither among the first nor the last, but left outside the …Aswan

“Encounter” (Encontro) is a white-marble sculpture by Portuguese architect and artist Álvaro Siza Vieira, unveiled in the Vatican Gardens on September 24. The anthropomorphic work depicts a slender, stylized figure positioned near an olive tree and facing the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica. It was previously displayed as part of the Holy See Pavilion at the 2023 Venice Biennale. At the unveiling, Vatican Governor Sister Raffaella Petrini described it as an encounter between art, the Pope’s gardens, and the community. Open to individual interpretation, the sculpture is intended to evoke care for our “Common Home,” fraternity, peace, and a “culture of encounter.”
New sculpture installed in Vatican gardens: My first associations are a giant outdoor Wi-Fi router, a solar-powered parking meter, a minimalist surveillance camera, a patio table growing out of a bollard, or an unfinished Starlink terminal for the Vatican.
Vorsicht vor inszenierten Schreckensszenarien und „False-Flag“-Aktionen in Europa "Am Abend des 4. August bemerkte ein Flughafenmitarbeiter in Leipzig/Halle eine kleine Drohne, die auf dem Vorfeld nahe einer geparkten ukrainischen Antonow-Frachtmaschine lag. Sie war mit einer Sprengladung und einem Zünder ausgestattet. Die Ladung detonierte nicht. Ein Entschärfungsroboter rollte auf das Rollfeld; nach späteren Angaben deutscher Behörden war der Flugkörper etwa vier Stunden lang unbemerkt geblieben, bevor er entdeckt wurde.

The Infinite Ocean I remember when I was in highschool, the school took us to a catholic retreat, the confessional was open and it was my turn, an old priest was waiting, I sat down and pour my sins in the open, that confession was like any other... Repeat offender? Yeah, Did I want to get better? Sure, but the only thing I remember about this particular confession was what happened at the end... The priest took his hand and put it exactly where my heart is and said to me: "Remember this, Jesus loves you, He loves you." My heart started to burn, literally... The sensation or the feel of this fire burning my heart from the inside out was surprising yes, ethereal and magnific... There and then I knew Love. This actually happened to me, such an unworthy human being, no humility, no holiness, no nothing just a sad clown looking to roll with the world, while my Lord waited and waited and waited and still... waits on me, this sack of unworthiness, I wish the Love I was shown in my heart would've …Aswan
Rev. Joseph was seven when he saw his father murder his mother. Decades later, he became a Catholic priest. Born Youssef in Cluses in the French Alps, he was seven when he returned from a ski camp and found his father stabbing his mother. She died hours later. His father was imprisoned and Youssef placed in foster care. At 18, he was expelled. Alcoholism cost him his work and housing, and he spent three years living on a bench in Grenoble. There, a priest named Gérard greeted him daily. After three years, Gérard sat beside him and invited him for coffee—the start of Youssef’s recovery. After three detoxifications and two rehabilitation stays, he became sober, converted to Catholicism and took the name Joseph. He later travelled to his father’s grave in Constantine, Algeria, where he says he forgave him. Joseph entered seminary at 44 and was ordained for the Archdiocese of Paris in 2020. He now serves at the Basilica of Sacré-Cœur in Montmartre.
‘HOW GOD MAKES USE OF PURGATORY…’ ~ ‘Treatise on Purgatory’ by Saint Catherine of Genoa; 1915; Chapters XVII; pp. 48-52; part II [Saint Catherine of Genoa ~ XV-XVI Century; born: Genoa, Republic of Genoa/ died: Genoa, Republic of Genoa; (aged 62-63); Mystic; Spiritual Writer] I am sensible of all these things I have described as it were by sight and touch, but I cannot find fitting words to express myself as I could wish. I have said what I have, because I was conscious of its going on spiritually within me. The prison in which I fancy myself shut up is the world ; the chain by which I am held is the body ; the soul enlightened is she who, knowing well the grievousness of being detained and kept back by any hindrance from reaching her end, suffers thereby great pain, inasmuch as she is very tender. God, by His grace, bestows upon her a dignity which makes her like God, and not only like God, but even one with Him through participating in His goodness ; and as it is impossible that God …Aswan
" The man who would sooner die than offend God, feels death and the pain of dying ; but the sight of God supplies him with a zeal which makes him think more of the Divine honour than bodily death. In like manner, a soul knowing what God has appointed for it thinks more of the appointment than any outward or inward pain, no matter how dreadful ; and this be cause God, the Author of it, surpasses everything that can be thought of or imagined."
"...the soul remains in suffering great in proportion to its appreciation of God. This appreciation of God grows with its knowledge of God ; and its knowledge is greater the more it is free from sin : and the delay becomes more and more terrible, because the soul wholly immersed in God, knows Him without error, there being no thing in the way to prevent such knowledge."
Leo XIV praises the French Revolution’s motto of “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity”. Today in Paris, Pope Leo XIV linked France’s revolutionary motto - “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” [or Death] - with the Gospel. Speaking to French civil authorities at the Élysée Palace, Leo XIV called the three principles “universal ethical imperatives” that “find in the Gospel message an inexhaustible source of inspiration and fulfillment.” The motto stems from the demonic French Revolution, which unleashed severe persecution of the Church. During the revolutionary period, clergy and religious were executed, imprisoned, deported or forced into exile, while churches and religious institutions were suppressed.

This is definitely a scandal! What about all those tortured and killed? How he can say such things? It looks that the Trinity removes the veil covering the true conciliar church. Things may go a lot more ugly.
More truth revealed on the proxy war 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.

French traditional Catholics managed to hand a letter to Pope Leo XIV. Yesterday evening, on the sidelines of the vigil at the Stade de France, an alternative prayer vigil was held outside the Apostolic Nunciature, asking Pope Leo XIV to allow greater access to the sacraments and Mass in the traditional rite. According to BVoltaire.fr, Catholics greeted Pope Leo XIV upon his arrival at the Nunciature in Paris and handed him a letter. One Catholic said: “We want to let the Pope know that there is in France a large, very dynamic traditional community.” Another added: “We would like to have more churches and resources to celebrate the traditional Mass.”
BVoltaire.fr: "Les catholiques traditionnalistes ont pu saluer le Pape à son arrivée à la Nonciature et lui remettre une lettre."
Definitely not the same Faith. You could have left the rainbow garbage out, just showed an NO Mass and the conclusion is the same. One is the equivalent of the offering of Cain
‘Purgatory’ by J. Sadlier; 1886; Chapter I – ‘CARDINAL GIBBONS ON PURGATORY.…’; pages 49-50; part II [Saint Catherine of Genoa – XV-XVI Century AD; born: Genoa, Republic of Genoa/ died: Genoa, Republic of Genoa; Aged 62-63; mystic, known for her work among the sick and the poor] CARDINAL GIBBONS ON PURGATORY. That the practice of praying for the dead has descended from apostolic times is also evident from the Liturgies of the Church. A Liturgy is the established form of public worship, containing the authorized prayers of the Church. The Missal, or Mass-book, for instance, which you see on our altars, contains a portion of the Liturgy of the Catholic Church. The principal Liturgies are: The Liturgy of St. James the Apostle, who founded the Church of Jerusalem ; the Liturgy of St. Mark the Evangelist, founder of the Church of Alexandria, and the Liturgy of St. Peter, who established the Church in Rome. These Liturgies are called after the Apostles who compiled them. There are, besides, …Aswan
"Not content with studying their books, I called upon the Oriental Patriarchs and Bishops in communion with the See of Rome, who belong to the Armenian, the Chaldean, the Coptic, the Maronite, and Syriac rites. They all assured mc that the Schismatic Christians of the East among whom they live have, without exception, prayers and sacrifices for the dead."
"The Greek Schismatic Church, of which the present Russo-Greek Church is the offspring, severed her connection with the See of Rome in the ninth century. But in leaving the Catholic Church, these Eastern sects retained the old Liturgies, which they use to this day."
“I want to bring everybody to Christ — especially… Jews.” 'Conservative' Bishop Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester discussed the salvation of non-Christians in an interview with EWTN’s Raymond Arroyo following the release of a new Vatican document on interreligious dialogue. Barron said the covenant with Israel “is fulfilled in Christ,” rejecting the idea of two parallel paths of salvation. “I want to bring everybody to Christ,” Barron said, adding, “especially… Jews.” The Church’s purpose is “always and everywhere to everybody” to proclaim Jesus Christ as Savior, he said. Asked how much doctrinal weight Catholics should give the Vatican II document Nostra Aetate, Barron replied that “there are elements in it that really belong to the doctrine of the Church,” including human dignity and Christianity’s grounding in the revelation given to Israel.

From the final report of the envoys of the [real] Prince of Kiev (Vladimir the Great).... who were sent to the Church of Holy Wisdom in Constantinople. 10th Century. Before the formal schism. On the Divine Liturgy. "We did not know if we were on earth or in heaven; for there is no such splendor to be found anywhere upon earth-describe it we cannot. We know only that it is there that God dwells among men." Russian Pantocrator icon, c. 1850

Nous savons seulement que c’est là que Dieu habite parmi les hommes. »
judd saul @juddsaul Let's get something straight. In Nigeria, the "Herders" killing Christians are well armed and funded radical Islamists from the Fulani Tribe. The "Farmers" are unarmed Christian villagers from several different tribes who happen to be Christians. The Fulani are NOT indigenous to the lands they are attacking. It is NOT a clash when one side is armed and the other isn't. This means, that when one group that is unarmed is attacked by another repeatedly without interference, qualifies as a genocide. Genocide is defined and includes violent attacks with the specific intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. What is happening to Christians in Nigeria is in fact a genocide. It's not "Climate Change" as the UN refers to it. equippingthepersecuted.org
