The man who never spoke a word is called the Terror of Demons.

In the entire Bible, St. Joseph never speaks a single word. He is silent but he acts.

He wakes up at midnight to flee to Egypt. He protects the Virgin. He raises the Son of God. His title in the litany is Terror Daemonum (Terror of Demons). Why?

Because Satan fears silence. Satan fears the man who does his duty without complaining, without bragging, and without hesitation. St. Joseph is the model of the interior life. This makes him the perfect spiritual weapon in quiet spiritual combat.

In the age of fatherlessness & impurity we need the spirit of St Joseph more than ever.

Our modern world is plagued by weak men, broken homes & the collapse of fatherhood. St. Joseph is the antidote to the age.

St Joseph, Terror of Demons, pray for us!

Many conversions throughout Rome followed St. Lawrence's death, including those of several senators witnessing his execution.

He said to his tormentors: "You may now turn my body over; it is roasted enough on that side." And later: "My flesh is now roasted, you can eat of it."

@iluminadoChrist Vendo essa foto de Frei Damião, impossível não lembrar desta frase de São Jerônimo:

"O martírio não consiste apenas em morrer pela fé. O martírio também consiste em servir a Deus com amor e pureza de coração todos os dias da vida."

Uma bela imagem de um mártir...

It is precisely the passage of time that teaches us to despise time and seek eternity.

The Bible Doesn’t Tell Us to Be Tolerant — or to “Not Judge.”

Modern culture calls silence “kindness.”

But Scripture calls it cowardice.

The Bible never commands tolerance of sin - it commands truth:

“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil.” - Romans 12:9

“Expose the deeds of darkness.”
- Ephesians 5:11

Even Christ rebuked the Church in Thyatira for being too tolerant:

“You tolerate that woman Jezebel… by her teaching she misleads My servants.” - Revelation 2:20

And “judge not” doesn’t mean stay silent. It means don’t judge hypocritically.

Jesus said:

“Judge with right judgment.” - John 7:24

Love calls sinners to repentance.
Tolerance leaves them comfortable in sin.

Love says: “Turn back to God.”
Tolerance says: “Stay as you are.”

Christ loved people deeply, but He never tolerated sin.

“Go and sin no more.” - John 8:11

The world says: “Don’t judge.”
The Bible says: “Stand firm.”

“Come out from among them and be separate.” - 2 Corinthians 6:17

The world wants silence.
Christ calls for courage.

True Christians don’t tolerate sin - they confront it with truth, for the sake of the soul.

That isn’t judgmental.

That’s biblical. ✝

"Qué años de purgatorio habrá para aquellos cristianos que viven aplazando sus oraciones con la excusa de tener que hacer cosas más urgentes. Si realmente deseamos la felicidad de poseer a Dios, debemos evitar estas pequeñas faltas".

“Deus criou o universo uma vez por todas e para todo o sempre. Ele criou a matéria para sempre. Isso, nós somente, os cristãos, nós ousamos afirmá-lo, nós sabemos, com fé divina, que os corpos ressuscitarão, que eternamente os homens serão homens e não anjos; nós sabemos, com fé divina, que eternamente Jesus será o Verbo que Se fez carne.”

¿Dios escucha la oración de los que están en pecado mortal?
"En el pecador se han de considerar dos cosas, a saber: el ser, al cual Dios ama; y la culpa, la cual Dios odia. Si el pecador en su oración pide algo acorde con sus deseos de pecado, Dios, por misericordia, no lo

The Three Most Important Events:

As long as you wish to sin, regard yourself as damned

The greatest threat to Western Civilisation is effeminacy.

Effeminacy is the opposing vice to cardinal virtue of fortitude. It is the inability or unwillingness to engage in what is arduous, and to deprive one's self from inordinate attachment to pleasures.

An austerity breeds a strong and noble people.

The modern world, with all of its convenience and comfort, breeds effeminacy.

This is why you must fast and do penance.

This is why you must chastise your body and bring it into subjection.

This is how you resist.

He who desires only God is rich and happy: he is in want of nothing, and may laugh at the whole world.

[IMPERATOR @IMPERATORAUS]

In his Summa Theologiae, St Thomas Aquinas laid out one of the most charitable yet practical arguments concerning immigration that effectively shaped the West for almost 1,000 years.

1. Immigration must always be proportionate so that foreigners can properly assimilate into the culture and mode of worship of the state.

2. Citizenship – and associated rights – should only ever be granted after the third generation to preserve the culture, mode of worship, and constitution of the state.

3. The common good of the citizens must remain the highest priority of the state, meaning, the state's obligation to provide aid to its neighbours can never be at the expense of the citizens.

However, Aquinas ends with the sobering reminder that some peoples and states are incompatible with one another, and these must be held as "foes in perpetuity".
