A thirteen-year-old dressed as Saint Bernadette of Lourdes, singing in front of Pope Leo ✝️✨
We can shut down the internet for today
The Catholic Church, beauty, love, faith and truth have won, hands down
Here in Lourdes, the city of the sick and of hope, I appeal to the entire healthcare community to remember the profound meaning of your vocation, which is to care for a suffering person, not to eliminate that person. Be passionate servants of life! No one ever has the right to decide the life of any person. Medicine must never become the servant of programmed death! #ApostolicJourney #France https://t.co/gMbrY7eA6G
Hi guys,
Of your mercy, please pray for my friend, R, especially for his conversion and salvation
(I can't reveal his name because it's quite unique and he's rather high up in corporate London)
God reward you for your charity! 🙏🏻
A Muslim association in France has expressed concern over the renewed enthusiasm surrounding Catholicism during Pope Leo XIV’s visit, saying that “in 45 years, France will become Catholic again, and we’ll be left with nothing but our tears.”
The group added that Catholics are “much better organized” and “more determined” than Muslims, and warned that the influence of American Catholicism could help fuel the growth of Catholicism around the world.
@michaeljknowles I bought a rosary from them (the Logos) and was so happy with how it looked and felt that I requested them to make a custom Seven Sorrows Rosary for me. They make beautiful rosaries and seem like really nice people.
Please join with me in asking a special intercession for miraculous healing for baby Alexander Martin through the intercession of Saint Pio on his feast day! Lord, hear our prayer! 🙏
My children can live at home but they either need to go to college or work full time. If working, they need to save money for the future, invest in their companies retirement plan (my goal is to set them on the course so they can retire at 59 if they want to), and also know it’s all right to buy things so they also enjoy the fruits of their labor.
OK, so here's the scoop. Tumors have all increased significantly in size. They now give me two weeks up to a month or so.
It's the first they've been willing to be this forthcoming.
I'm taking this news pretty damned hard.
If anyone sees this, I would like to humbly ask for prayers that my new medication works.
My cancer has spread to much of my skin and to my right breast post mastectomy.
It’s very scary.
The doctors don’t think it’s operable or curable now, but trying to hold the cancer at bay
NEVER FORGET THE 21
In 2015, twenty Christian men were taken to a beach in Libya and ordered to deny Christ. Beside them, Matthew Ayariga chose their faith and their fate:
“Their God is my God.”
Twenty Christians were taken to that beach. Twenty-one died for Christ.
There really is a Charlie quote for everything. From one of our AMAs last year:
"Free speech is not a German value at all. Power is a German value. Nihilism is a German value. Destruction is a German value. Efficiency, definitely a German value. Machination, that is a German value. Precision is a German value. Liberty, not a German value. No. They are inherently a totalitarian people."
My mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer last month. I’m asking for prayers. For her health, yes, but more importantly, for her Salvation. Please. Thank you.
If anyone out there knows of any work for a Workday Technical Architect. He specializes in the Workday Payroll systems. Please do let them know, and keep them in your prayers!
SOMETHING IS HAPPENING IN QUEBEC:
Young Catholics are gathering every week outside Saint Joseph’s Oratory to pray the Rosary for the renewal of the faith in Quebec.
They’ve committed to praying for 1,000 days.
During one gathering, a downpour lasted almost the entire Rosary.
Now the movement is spreading to Quebec City and Trois-Rivières. Catholic Quebec is not dead! ✝️🇨🇦
For those who don't know their heritage, the town of Otranto, Italy has much in common with NYC of 25 years ago.
This shrine was made with the skulls and bones of 800 of those Islam murdered in 1480 for refusing to convert. Their August was our September.
We still haven't learned the lesson, and innocent people always pay the price for our unwillingness to confront this scourge that never to go away.
Saints of Otranto, pray for the conversion of Islam. +++
