Apr 3 Good Friday: the largest Cricifix in the world and the Canadian connection The "Cross in the Woods" is the "Catholic Shrine ... located in Indian River, Michigan. The Shrine is home to the largest crucifix in the world." About the shrine: The sculpture of the crucified Christ was titled 'The Man on the Cross' by the renowned Michigan sculptor Marshall Fredericks. It is made of bronze 3/8″ to 1/2″ thick. It weighs seven tons, is twenty-eight feet tall from head to toe, and the outstretched arms span twenty-one feet. The figure of Christ is attached by thirteen bolts 30″ long and 2″ thick that were made when the figure was cast in Norway. Fredericks wanted to portray Christ in a peaceful way. It was his dream to 'give the face an expression of great peace and strength and offer encouragement to everyone who viewed the Cross'. Apr 2 "You are clean, but not all of you" This is a very thoughtful homily given by Pope Benedict XVI for the Mass of the Lord's Supper. It was delivered at …
This is a very thoughtful homily given by Pope Benedict XVI for the Mass of the Lord's Supper. It was delivered at the Basilica of St. John Lateran, on Holy Thursday, April 13, 2006 Dear Brothers in the Episcopate and in the Priesthood, Dear Brothers and Sisters, 'Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end' (Jn 13: 1). God loves his creature, man; he even loves him in his fall and does not leave him to himself. He loves him to the end. He is impelled with his love to the very end, to the extreme: he came down from his divine glory. He cast aside the raiment of his divine glory and put on the garb of a slave. He came down to the extreme lowliness of our fall. He kneels before us and carries out for us the service of a slave: he washes our dirty feet so that we might be admitted to God's banquet and be made worthy to take our place at his table - something that on our own we neither could nor would ever be able to do. God is not a remote God, too distant or …
MagnificatTwelve frightened men who feel that death is hovering near crowd around the Son of Man whose hand is lifted over a piece of bread and over a cup. Of what value is this gesture, of what use can it be? How futile it seems when already a mob is arming itself with clubs, when in a few hours Jesus will be delivered to the courts, ranked among scoundrels, tortured, disfigured, laughed at by his enemies, pitiable to those who love him, and shown to be powerless before all. However, this Man condemned to death does not offer any defense; he does nothing but bless the bread and the wine and, with eyes raised, pronounce a few words.It seems that, after [twenty] centuries of extraordinary glorification, the small Host for which so many cathedrals have sprung up, the small Host that has rested in millions of breasts and that has found a tabernacle and worshippers even in the desert, remains as unknown, as secret as when it appeared for the first time in a room in Jerusalem. Light is in …
Apr 1 How the Liberals have economically weakened and divided Canada From Real Women of Canada comes another sober article outlining the economic failures of Canada's Liberal government led by PM Justin Trudeau and now Marc Carney. Today all Members of Parliament will get a pay hike, whether they deserve or not. So, those backbencher MPs Canadians never hear from will get an increase of 4.2%, taking their base salaries to $211,000. The PM will receive $420,000 and ministers $300,000. No, it's not an April Fool's Day joke. Canadians surely wish it was. Here's the article by Real Women of Canada tilted, "Mark Carney Walks in the Footsteps of Justin Trudeau." We post the entry with permission. Everyone remembers when Justin Trudeau became prime minister in 2015. The election of a Liberal Government, under his leadership, was greeted with elation. Mar 30 Sacred art in the service of faith We post the art essay from the Magnificat's Holy Week liturgical reader. It's written by Jennifer Healy …
Political leaders in the West are no longer governing for the citizenry they ought to represent. No, they are governing for themselves and the oligarchs they serve. Canada is now a prime example. It’s one of the richest countries in the world when it comes to natural resources. However, the province of Alberta cannot sell their oil and gas openly on the market and to other provinces within Canada. This is intentional. Don’t be Canada.
I never think E. Michael Jones has anything worthwhile to say and this article was just another confirmation of that fact. But, I am happy to have found this site. If you want to read a worthwhile article from the same site try "Donald Trump and the Downfall of the American Empire." By Ron Unz. And notice how his thoughts are not scattered in every direction and his premises are supported with facts.
"God is using Iran to punish the United States and Israel for their wickedness." There are many examples of God going outside His people to avenge evil in the Old Testament.
Mar 30 Sacred art in the service of faith We post the art essay from the Magnificat's Holy Week liturgical reader. It's written by Jennifer Healy who taught art history for many years. It's titled, "Holy Week Sorrow and Hope," and offers a great analysis of the painting "The Tears of St. Peter" by Jusepe de Ribera. The denial of St. Peter is a reminder of our denials too. Something to think about this week. Wishing our readers a blessed Holy Week. This marvelous work by the young Spanish artist Jusepe de Ribera provides for rich meditation on Saint Peter and the mercy of God. In this one captured moment, in symbols and style, a full story emerges. Of course we already know the story, and we hear it again in Holy Week at the Palm Sunday and Good Friday liturgies. Mar 30 What a sad day for Christians around the world "Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem, and Father Francesco Ielpo, the custos of the Holy Land, and two other priests were on their way to the …
Mar 29 Bishop Joseph Strickland defends Carrie Prejean Boller We all know at this point that Carrie Prejean Boller was kicked out of the Presidential Religious Liberty Commission. And for what? For expressing Catholic thinking out loud. Bishop Joseph Strickland has come to her rescue in an X post. He reminds us that any “opposition to political Zionism is inherently antisemitic” isn't true nor anti-Catholic. She questioned the meaning of antisemitism and if it included criticism of political Zionism and what has happened in Gaza. Isn't the Commission about religious liberty? We wonder if Bishop Barron and former Archbishop Timothy Dolan are paying attention. The two are on the Commission but have chosen to remain silent when Boller was abruptly ousted for her remarks. Here's Bishop Strickland's instructive statement regarding Mrs. Mar 28 Canada has become a post-nation state based on lies Recall when PM Justin Trudeau stated that Canada was a post-nation state with no core values? Yes …
Nice article. I think they knew in advance that she would take this position and it is being used by the antiChrist US government to portray Catholics who know their Faith as a "radical right wing" movement. Later to be rounded up by the protestant zionist zealots for extermination. Shades of the coming Fourth Reich. God bless you!
Recall when PM Justin Trudeau stated that Canada was a post-nation state with no core values? Yes, he said it. He admired China because government decisions could be made without citizenry consultation. democracy is an inconvenience. Trudeau didn’t tell Canadians that his new post-nation state is built on lies. More evidence to support the idea came out this week from an Ontario court decision. The Court of Appeal ruled on the side of the City of Hamilton in refusing to display and advertisement in its bus shelters. The appeal was filed by Canada's federal party the Christian Heritage Party. They paid for the ad. The ad features (see above) a woman with the dictionary definition of woman: “Woman: An Adult Human Female.” According to the court, the city made the right decision in rejecting the ad because it could make the transit system unsafe for the public. Really? How the court came to this flawed conclusion nobody really knows. We can only assume the court can read the future and …
Thu Mar 26, 2026 - 5:17 pm EDTFri Mar 27, 2026 - 7:54 am EDT (LifeSiteNews) — On March 18, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled that the City of Hamilton was within its rights to reject the Christian Heritage Party’s proposed transgender shelter ads that featured a smiling young woman and the dictionary definition “Woman: An Adult Human Female” – because the ad could render the public transit system unsafe. The ad was submitted by the Christian Heritage Party (CHP) in January 2023 and was rejected, as were requests for an explanation. In July 2024, the city finally sent CHP a five-page letter detailing their decision after the political party’s legal counsel sent them a request. The City of Hamilton’s lawyer claimed that the ad had been rejected after lengthy consultation with “local members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, academic literature,” and trans activist Jelena Vermilion. The city actually told the CBC that the ad – again, simply citing the dictionary definition of “woman” – …
Odvolací súd v Ontáriu 18. marca rozhodol, že mesto Hamilton oprávnene odmietlo reklamu na dopravu, ktorú uverejnila strana Kresťanské dedičstvo a ktorá definovala pojem "žena" ako "dospelú ľudskú ženu". Mesto argumentovalo tým, že tento odkaz by mohol vyvolať pocit nebezpečenstva vo verejnej doprave pre transvestitov. Reklama bola pôvodne predložená v januári 2023 a súd nižšej inštancie už v novembri 2024 potvrdil rozhodnutie.
Em 18 de março, o Tribunal de Recurso do Ontário decidiu que a cidade de Hamilton tinha razão em rejeitar um anúncio de trânsito do Partido da Herança Cristã, que definia "mulher" como "uma fêmea humana adulta". A cidade argumentou que a mensagem poderia tornar os transportes públicos inseguros para os travestis. O anúncio foi originalmente apresentado em janeiro de 2023, e um tribunal inferior já tinha confirmado a decisão em novembro de 2024.
In his Christmas addressto the Roman Curia in 2010, Pope Benedict XVI reminded us of the grave sin of priestly child abuse, as well as the societal problem of widespread pornography and illegal drug use. Too often pushed, like abortion and legalized euthanasia, in the name of "freedom," "health" and "choice". Given the Epstein files and the present world crisis, his analysis is worth revisiting. He cites materialism and relativism as the seeds of the toxic fruits around us. And the need to return to a moral foundation based on truth to shape conscience. Here's a short quote: We are well aware of the particular gravity of this sin committed by priests and of our corresponding responsibility. But neither can we remain silent regarding the context of these times in which these events have come to light. There is a market in child pornography that seems in some way to be considered more and more normal by society. The psychological destruction of children, in which human persons are reduced …

Thank you for this. Today is also the day the Holy Trinity was defined. In her understated way. For there is no other way she can be daughter, spouse, and mother of God all at once.
From Wisdom 2: 12-24, we find a great reflection for Lent and Easter and the world crisis we presently face. Let us lay traps for the upright man, since he annoys us and opposes our way of life, reproaches us for our sins against the Law, and accuses us of sins against our upbringing. He claims to have knowledge of God, and calls himself a child of the Lord. We see him as a reproof to our way of thinking, the very sight of him weighs our spirits down; for his kind of life is not like other people's, and his ways are quite different. In his opinion we are counterfeit; he avoids our ways as he would filth; he proclaims the final end of the upright as blessed and boasts of having God for his father. Let us see if what he says is true, and test him to see what sort of end he will have. For if the upright man is God's son, God will help him and rescue him from the clutches of his enemies. Let us test him with cruelty and with torture, and thus explore this gentleness of his and put his …

By Nina Green Over a period of ten years, the federal government secretly negotiated three agreements with the Musqueam Indian Band. The three agreements were signed at the Musqueam reserve in Vancouver on 20 February 2026 at a ceremony attended by BC Premier David Eby about which Parliament and the BC Legislature were not informed, and from which the public and the media were barred. The federal government then quietly announced the signing of the agreements on a federal government website without making any government official available to the media to answer questions. Initially, the text of all three agreements was withheld from the public, but ultimately released as a result of media pressure. The text of a fourth agreement also mentioned on the federal government website, which provides the Musqueam with a revenue …
