1 août - Bienheureux Pierre Claverie Dominicain, évêque d'Oran, martyr en Algérie (+ 1996) La vie et la mort de Pierre Claverie, 1938-1996, frère dominicain et évêque d'Oran, offrent une réponse aux signes de notre temps, caractérisés par des tensions souvent violentes entre des personnes qui vivent des fois et des croyances différentes. L'incessante recherche de Dieu et l'appel à tous les croyants que fait Mgr. Claverie, de vivre ensemble dans la paix et dans le respect réciproque, trouvent une expression dans une existence vouée tout entière à l'annonce de sa propre foi: une longue fidélité, où son engagement en faveur du dialogue a été le centre et sa vie le prix. Le 1er août 1996, Mgr. Pierre Claverie, évêque d'Oran, est assassiné avec le jeune algérien Mohamed, son chauffeur. Pierre Claverie naît à Alger le 8 mai 1938. En 1957, il suit, à l'université de Grenoble, les cours de mathématiques, physique et chimie. En 1958, il s'oriente vers la vie des Dominicains. Il gardera toujours …More

By thy sweetness my soul was melted: my bowels are inflamed by thy love. Hear my prayer, O Lady, and my supplication: and let mine enemies pine away. Have mercy on me from Heaven and from the height of thy throne: and permit me not to be troubled in the valley of misery. Keep my foot, lest it should be injured: and may thy grace be with my end. Glory be to the Father, etc. PSALM 39 Expecting, I have expected thy grace: and thou hast done with me according to the multitude of the mercies of thy name. Thou hast heard my prayers: and thou hast led me out of the den of misery, and from the pit of the enemy. Manifold and wonderful are thy gifts, O Lady: incomparable …More
"PSALM 41 As the hart longs for the water-brooks, so doth my soul pine for thy love. For thou art the mother of my life: and the sublime repairer of my flesh. For thou art the feeder of the Savior of my soul: the beginning and the end of all my salvation. Hear me, O Lady, let my stains be cleansed: enlighten me, O Lady, that my darkness may be illuminated. Let my tepidity be enkindled by thy love: let my torpor be expelled by thy grace. Glory be to the Father, etc."
From the hearts of the Romanian people. And may this be a lesson for the European Union. I truly hope that very soon, we will no longer have Ursula von der Leyen as president of the European commission. (Leaving two short videos). "WE ARE NOT ENEMIES. WE WANT TO COOPERATE WITH RUSSIA" — ROMANIAN WOMAN RECEIVES THUNDEROUS APPL... «МЫ НЕ ВРАГИ. МЫ ХОТИМ СОТРУДНИЧАТЬ С РОССИЕЙ» — РУМЫНКА ВЫЗВАЛА БУРНЫЕ АПЛОДИСМЕНТЫ From Putin in another video During his 2022 state-of-the-nation address, Vladimir Putin rhetorically asked why the United States is making an enemy of Russia. The answer, he argued, is that the West doesn't need a large and strong Russia. «Зачем делать из нас врага?»: Путин задал риторический вопрос США #путин #россия #сша Isn't that the truth. Hatred, jealousy and greed drive NATO and the EU to destroy Russia.
Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke has called on Catholics to defend the sacrament of marriage and the Christian family even at the cost of suffering. Preaching on July 25 at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Wisconsin, the cardinal encouraged married couples to embrace their vocation as a path to holiness. "The grace of Holy Matrimony is not an ideal to which only a few can aspire," he said, "but an objective reality, a supernatural gift, which leads husband and wife to seek each other's eternal salvation along the path of divine love." The cardinal concluded: "Let us be ready for martyrdom, if not the red martyrdom of blood, certainly the white martyrdom of faithful witness to Our Lord in the face of indifference, ridicule, and persecution." Cardinal Burke's appeal comes just two months before the Vatican's October meeting convened by Pope Leo XIV to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Amoris laetitia. In this exhortation, Pope Francis repeatedly uses the language of the "ideal" of marriage …More
What Bergoglio (and his Mini-Me Leo14) call theoretical, Burke calls " an objective reality, a supernatural gift." Cardinal Burke contradicts Pope Francis. Modernists have trouble understanding the supernatural.

by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira Le Curé d'Ars offrant la nouvelle église à sainte Philomène The book The Spirit of the Cure of Ars by Fr. Alfred Monnin contains the catechism classes, homilies and conversations of Saint John Vianney. One passage speaks about how to see suffering as a privilege. The Cure of Ars says: “Some people do not love God or pray to Him, and yet they prosper. When this happens, it is a bad sign. It means these people did a few good things amid many bad things. God rewards these small good deeds in this life. Sometimes, we say that God punishes those He loves. However, this statement is not always true. For those whom God loves, trials are not punishments; they are graces.” Suffering as a Means of Approaching God This passage summarizes the great principle of Catholic doctrine that suffering is an indispensable means of approaching God. It is indispensable for two reasons. The first is because God wants us, for the good of our souls, to complete that small bit of …More
Dedication of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major - August 5 The Dedication of the Basilica of St Mary Major (In Dedicatione basilicae S. Mariae) is a feast day in the General Roman Calendar of the Catholic Church, optionally celebrated annually on 5 August with the rank of memorial. In earlier editions of the General Roman Calendar, down to that of 1960, it is called the Dedication of the Basilica of St Mary of the Snows (In Dedicatione basilicae S. Mariae ad Nives), a reference to the story about the foundation of the basilica. For the same reason the feast is also known popularly as Our Lady of the Snows. History Dedication of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major - … Pope Pius V inserted this feast into the General Roman Calendar in 1568, when, in response to the request of the Council of Trent, he reformed the Roman Breviary. Before that, it had been celebrated at first only in the church itself and, beginning in the 14th century, in all the churches of the city of Rome. …More
AUGUST 5 THE DEDICATION OF THE BASILICA OF SAINT MARY MAJOR breski1 Dedicatio Sanctæ Mariæ ad Nives Santa Maria Maggiore Madonna della Neve Maria SS. Ausiliatrice Nuestra Señora de las Nieves Memorial 5 August Profile A feast that commemorates the dedication of the church of Santa Maria Maggiore on the Esquiline Hill in Rome, Italy. The church was originally built by Pope Liberius, and was known as the Basilica Liberii or Liberiana. It was restored by Pope Sixtus III, and dedicated to Our Lady. From that time on it was known as Basilica S. Mariæ or Mariæ Majoris. Since the seventh century it was known also as Maria ad Præsepe. The appellation ad Nives (of the snow) originated a few hundred years later, as did also the legend which gave this name to the church. The legend says that during the pontificate of Liberius, the Roman patrician John and his wife, who were without heirs, made a vow to donate their possessions to Our Lady. They prayed that she might make known to …More
The Devil's Deadliest Weapon Is Distraction The gospel reading emphasizes the importance of being prepared for the Lord’s return. While technology and distractions are not inherently evil, they can lead to a decline in spiritual and intellectual growth if not used in moderation. We must be vigilant and prioritize our spiritual life, resisting the devil’s subtle attempts to lead us astray. Fr.

[St. Bernard of Clairvaux – XI-XII Century AD; born: Burgundy, Kingdom of France/died: Clairvaux, Kingdom of France; (aged 62-63); Abbot; Mystic; Leader; co-founder of the Knights Templar; Last of the Fathers; Doctor Mellifluus] Chapter VII. Of love toward God not without reward: and how the hunger of man's heart cannot be satisfied with earthly things But life is too short, strength too feeble, and competitors too many, for that course to be practicable. One could never reach the end, though he were to weary himself with the long effort and fruitless toil of testing everything that might seem desirable. It would be far easier and better to make the assay in imagination rather than in experiment. For the mind is swifter in operation and keener in discrimination than the bodily senses, to this very purpose that it may go before the sensuous affections so that they may cleave to nothing which the mind has found worthless. And so it is written, 'Prove all things: hold fast that which is …More
"But as for the righteous man, it is not so with him. He remembers the condemnation pronounced on the multitude who wander after vanity, who travel the broad way that leads to death (Matt. 7.13); and he chooses the King's highway, turning aside neither to the right hand nor to the left (Num. 20.17), even as the prophet saith, 'The way of the just is uprightness (Isa. 26.7). Warned by wholesome counsel he shuns the perilous road, and heeds the direction that shortens the search, forbidding covetousness and commanding that he sell all that he hath and give to the poor (Matt. 19.21)."
Question: Based on all going issues since Benedict XVI resigned from ministerium and not from munus, how one can consider Bergoglio and Prevost were/are true popes? Canon 332 §2 of the 1983 Code states plainly: Si contingat ut Romanus Pontifex muneri suo renuntiet, ad validitatem requiritur ut renuntiatio libere fiat et rite manifestetur, non vero ut a quopiam acceptetur. "If it happens that the Roman Pontiff resigns his munus, it is required for validity that the resignation be freely made and properly manifested, but it is not necessary that it be accepted by anyone." The canon uses munus — not ministerium, not officium, not any other term. Munus in the canonical tradition carries the weight of the office itself: the ontological reality, the gift-and-burden of the Petrine charge, not merely its active exercise. On February 11, 2013, Benedict XVI declared in Latin: ...declaro me ministerio Episcopi Romae, Successoris Sancti Petri, mihi per manus Cardinalium die 19 aprilis MMV …More
Auxiliary Bishop Ludger Schepers of Essen, the German Bishops' Conference's commissioner for homosexual propaganda, has urged Catholic parishes to become places where homosexuals can live "without fear". Writing on Kirche-und-Leben.de on August 2, Bishop Schepers commented on the recent deadly attack during Berlin's homosexual march. "Our parishes must be places where every person is welcome and experiences the inalienable dignity that God has given them. No one should ever have to fear prejudice, distrust, or rejection because of their sexual orientation or gender identity." He attacked the Church, claiming gratuitously that she "has not always been a safe place for queer people," adding that biblical passages had too often been taken "out of context" and used against them. Ludger Schepers contrasts what he calls "the Gospel's message of unconditional love" with "the experience of many queer people". This contradiction calls Catholics "to repent". Looking to the global Church, Bishop …More
