LA MESSA NON È FINITA
La colossale celebrazione Eucaristica di Parigi, seguita da oltre 700 mila persone che hanno accolto festosamente il papa Leone fin dagli Champs Èlysèes, mi ha profondamente colpito per diverse ragioni:
1. l'altare era sopra il luogo della ghigliottina, dove morirono migliaia di cristiani martirizzati da una rivoluzione infame e anticristiana
2. in piazza erano presenti compostamente moltissimi giovani, felici di cantare al Signore per la gioia di una fede ritrovata
3. il papa Leone è stato adamantino, coraggioso e forte, lanciando un segnale chiarissimo a chi come Macron vorrebbe ridurre la fede a un hobby privato o ad una multinazionale del welfare: la fede è pubblica, ed è suo dovere orientare la polis.
4. i francesi hanno mirabilmente riscattato le porcherie blasfeme delle macroniadi e i raccapriccianti moti di invasione islamica delle banlieu, riappropriandosi della loro martoriata capitale.
La fede bimillenaria della figlia primogenita della Chiesa sta tornando. Il sangue dei martiri non è stato sparso invano e i giovani, che si confessavano a centinaia lungo le strade, ne sono la miglior prova.
In faccia alle beffe di Voltaire, secondo cui la Bibbia sarebbe stata presto relegata ai musei, la cristianità francese sta risorgendo, e Dio sa quanto ce ne fosse bisogno.
La messa non è finita.
Au moment du "Salve Regina" j'ai éclaté en sanglots et j'ai pleuré. Des dizaines de milliers de jeunes qui chantent en latin, je n'ai jamais cru que c'était possible de connaître ça un jour.
Quelque chose s'est passé ce soir.❤️
Superare anche il cancro al quarto stadio è possibile quando si combina una dieta chetogenica senza zuccheri, il digiuno e farmaci off-label come l'ivermectina e il mebendazolo.
Le cellule tumorali sono metabolicamente rigide. Riduci il glucosio, aumenta i chetoni, abbassa il GKI (indice di chetoni-glucosio) e faranno fatica a sopravvivere.
Le cellule sane possono usare i chetoni. Le cellule tumorali in gran parte non possono. Le persone stanno vedendo risultati che sorprendono anche loro stessi.
Guarda il dottor Thomas Seyfried spiegare l'approccio metabolico: Dieta + digiuno + farmaci riposizionati non sono "lo standard di cura".
È esattamente per questo che molti pazienti li stanno prendendo in considerazione e stanno ottenendo risultati straordinari.
Mentre sta andandosene il giorno della Santa Croce, leggo questo appello accorato di un vescovo nigeriano.
Persone braccate come animali, bambini arsi vvi e tutto questo per il solo fatto di essere cristiani.
Tutto nell’indifferenza generale.
There is a piece of cloth in Mexico City that scientists have been arguing about for five hundred years, and they still cannot agree on a very simple question: did a human being paint it or not?
The cloth is a tilma, a cloak of coarse cactus fiber, and according to the Nahuatl narrative known as the Nican Mopohua, it belonged to an indigenous man named Juan Diego. In December 1531, ten years after the Spanish conquest, he said a radiant young woman appeared to him near the hill of Tepeyac, spoke to him in his own language, and named herself the mother of God. She asked that a church be built on the hill and she sent him to the bishop of Mexico City, Juan de Zumárraga.
The bishop did not believe him, and asked for a sign. Days later the lady sent Juan Diego to the frozen hilltop, where nothing should have been growing, and there he found roses in full bloom, out of season in the dead of winter. He gathered them into his cloak. When he reached the bishop and let the cloak fall open the roses spilled to the floor. And on the rough fabric was an image no one had painted: a dark-haired, olive-skinned woman, head bowed, hands joined.
Zumárraga fell to his knees...
That cloak still hangs in the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the most-visited Catholic shrine in the world.
It has been studied for centuries... In a Church inquiry of 1666, seven professional painters testified that it seemed impossible for a human artist to have made something so refined on cloth so coarse. The fabric itself is an enigma: the tilma is woven from cactus fiber, the kind of cloth that normally rots away within 20 or 30 years, yet nearly 500 years on it has not cracked or decayed.
In 1936 the Nobel chemist Richard Kuhn reported that the colors came from no known source, not animal, not mineral, not vegetable. Some, especially the blue-green of the mantle, match no natural dye of the region, and researchers have described the image as faintly iridescent, its tone seeming to shift with the angle you view it from, an effect they say should not be possible on such a cloth.
In 1979 the biophysicist Philip Callahan photographed it under infrared light and reported that, in the original parts of the figure, he could find no preparatory sketch and no visible brushstrokes, though he also documented many later human additions and touch-ups that had cracked and faded over time.
The strangest claims concern the eyes: in 1956 the first ophthalmologists to examine them under magnification reported something they could not explain. The eyes appeared to contain the triple reflection that a living human eye produces, the images sitting exactly where they should and distorting just as they would against the curve of a real cornea. Decades later the engineer José Aste Tonsmann, using digital enhancement, claimed to find as many as thirteen figures reflected there, each packed into a space about a hundredth of an inch across, which he believed were the people gathered in the room at the very moment Juan Diego opened his cloak.
But the case is far from settled and not every examination agrees. A 1982 study by José Sol Rosales says the image was made with ordinary sixteenth-century materials and techniques. And the doubt is old: in 1556, just twenty-five years after the apparition, a senior Franciscan, Francisco de Bustamante, preached a furious sermon in Mexico City calling it a painting, the work, he said, of an indigenous artist named Marcos.
The image has been contested almost from the moment it appeared.
And that is exactly what makes it extraordinary: this fragile cloth has survived nearly five hundred years of candle smoke, incense, humidity, a nitric acid spill in the late 1700s that should have eaten it away, and a bomb set off directly beneath it in 1921 that bent a brass crucifix and shattered marble around it, and left the cloak untouched. It is one of the most examined objects in human history, and after five centuries the examinations still do not agree. Some of the most brilliant minds who ever studied it walked away certain, and they walked away certain of opposite things...
