[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

"My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces.
But I see everything.

Like the black sedan that circled the lot every morning at 6 a.m. for three weeks. Young man driving, grandmother in the passenger seat. Chemotherapy, I figured. He'd drop her at the entrance, then spend 20 minutes hunting for parking, missing her appointments.

One morning, I stopped him. "What time tomorrow?"
"6:15," he said, confused.
"Space A-7 will be empty. I'll save it."
He blinked. "You... you can do that?"
"I can now," I said.

Next morning, I stood in A-7, holding my ground as cars circled angrily. When his sedan pulled up, I moved. He rolled down his window, speechless. "Why?"
"Because she needs you in there with her," I said. "Not out here stressing."
He cried. Right there in the parking lot.

Word spread quietly. A father with a sick baby asked if I could help. A woman visiting her dying husband. I started arriving at 5 a.m., notebook in hand, tracking who needed what. Saved spots became sacred. People stopped honking. They waited. Because they knew someone else was fighting something bigger than traffic.
But here's what changed everything, A businessman in a Mercedes screamed at me one morning. "I'm not sick! I need that spot for a meeting!"

"Then walk," I said calmly. "That space is for someone whose hands are shaking too hard to grip a steering wheel."

He sped off, furious. But a woman behind him got out of her car and hugged me. "My son has leukemia," she sobbed. "Thank you for seeing us."

The hospital tried to stop me. "Liability issues," they said. But then families started writing letters. Dozens. "Raymond made the worst days bearable." "He gave us one less thing to break over."

Last month, they made it official. "Reserved Parking for Families in Crisis." Ten spots, marked with blue signs. And they asked me to manage it.

But the best part? A man I'd helped two years ago, his mother survived, came back. He's a carpenter. Built a small wooden box, mounted it by the reserved spaces. Inside? Prayer cards, tissues, breath mints, and a note,

"Take what you need. You're not alone. -Raymond & Friends"
People leave things now. Granola bars. Phone chargers. Yesterday, someone left a hand-knitted blanket.
I'm 73. I direct traffic in a hospital parking lot. But I've learned this: Healing doesn't just happen in operating rooms. Sometimes it starts in a parking space. When someone says, "I see your crisis. Let me carry this one small piece."

So pay attention. At the grocery checkout, the coffee line, wherever you are. Someone's drowning in the little things while fighting the big ones.

Hold a door. Save a spot. Carry the weight no one else sees.
It's not glamorous. But it's everything."

Let this story reach more hearts....

Cardinal Delivers Exorcism Prayer in St. Peter’s Basilica:
Something else happened yesterday at the Summorum Pontificum Traditional Latin Mass in the Basilica of St Peter (October 25, 2025) that strikes me as significant. Among the well-known prelates in attendance at the Latin Mass celebrated by His Eminence Raymond Cardinal Burke was the renowned exorcist, Cardinal Ernest Simoni Troshani, who at 97 years of age stood at the pulpit and positively thundered an Exorcism prayer composed by Pope Leo XIII back in 1890.
Who is Cardinal Simoni Troshani?
Cardinal Simoni is an Albanian cardinal, born October 18, 1928, who according to his entry in the College of Cardinals Report, spent “eighteen years in jail at the hands of Albanian communists.” After having completed his seminary study clandestinely, he was ordained a priest on April 7, 1956. But on Christmas Eve 1963, after celebrating an “illegal” public Mass, Simoni was arrested and imprisoned.
Initially, he was sentenced to death for offering the Mass (the TLM at that time), but the sentence was later commuted to twenty-five years of hard labor. During his years of imprisonment, Simoni endured “torture and harsh conditions, including work in mines and sewage canals.” Far from being intimidated by the threat of torture, he secretly celebrated the Latin Mass from memory and heard the confessions of his fellow prisoners.
After his release in 1981, according to the College of Cardinals Report, Cardinal Simoni was still considered an “enemy of the people” and was thus forced to work in the Shkodrë sewers. Nevertheless, he continued to exercise his priestly ministry clandestinely until the fall of the communist regime in 1990.
Fast-forward to present day.
This heroic priest – once sentenced to death for celebrating the Mass – took part in yesterday’s Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage. From the sanctuary of the Altar of the Chair, His Eminence delivered an exorcism prayer composed by Pope Leo XIII on May 18, 1890. The prayer was composed after Pope Leo had overheard a conversation between God and the Devil, just after offering Mass, in which the Devil bragged that he could destroy the Church in one hundred years. Fearful for souls and for the life of the Church of which Leo was visible head, the Holy Father composed the Exorcism prayer, which was recommended by the Church whenever any acts of the Devil are suspected.
Here is an excerpt from the Exorcism Prayer prayed yesterday in St. Peter’s:
“Beseech the God of Peace to crush Satan under our feet, that he may no more be able to hold men captive and to harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that the mercies of the Lord may quickly come to our aid, that thou mayest seize the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan. . . We cast you out, every unclean spirit, every satanic power, every onslaught of the infernal adversary, every legion, every diabolical group and sect, in the name and by the power of our Lord Jesus + Christ.”
Momentous things are happening, friends. This is a war between God and Satan, and many have only recently begun to understand the scope of it. So let us join this Holy War with the tools and the armor of God’s soldiers. Keep offering prayers of reparation and petition, that God will protect us and Holy Mother Church against the fires of Hell. Especially on this great Feast of Christ the King, let us offer prayers of thanksgiving for the good shepherds—the generals in this army—whom God, in His Providence, has seen fit to grant us. The mere existence of such men proves, once again, that God has not abandoned His Church.

Today I remembered the beautiful story of a child who one day told Pope Benedict XVI that his family did not go to Mass. I'm sure the parents were mortified that their first communicant told the pope this! The Holy Father responded so beautifully. According to a priest friend who heard it in the original Italian, the pope responded to the child in so many words, 'I know your parents work hard every day to buy food and clothes and toys for you. But can you give a message to them from me? Please tell your parents that the Pope said if they get up on Sunday and go to Mass, he promises them that while they still might be tired on the outside, they will no longer be tired on the inside.'

After TPUSA, "Kirk was bombarded with infuriated text messages and calls from Netanyahu’s wealthy allies in the US, including many who had funded TPUSA. According to his longtime friend, the Zionist donors treated Kirk with outright contempt, essentially ordering him to fall back into line.

'We pronounce their names one by one'

Cardinal Zuppi read out the names of every child who has died in the Gaza conflict during a prayer vigil on the Eve of the Assumption

The list was 469 pages long and took SEVEN HOURS to read

It included the Israeli children killed on October 7th and the 12,211 Palestinian children killed since

“They ask us all to commit ourselves to finding or pursuing the path to peace with greater intelligence and passion, starting with a ceasefire and offering the conditions for doing so, from the release of hostages to not taking an entire people hostage.”

I still think this is one of the greatest videos ever created, and the fact that it is actual audio from a Presidential debate makes it even funnier.

[DRAGO @dragodimitrov]

I realize this sounds crazy, but the Catholic Church believes that angels transported Jesus' house from Nazareth to Italy.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

I am deeply saddened to learn of the loss of life and injury caused by the military attack on the Holy Family Catholic Church in #Gaza. I assure the parish community of my spiritual closeness. I commend the souls of the deceased to the loving mercy of Almighty God, and pray for their families and the injured. I renew my call for an immediate ceasefire. Only dialogue and reconciliation can ensure enduring peace!

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

From #Gaza, the cries of parents rise to heaven ever more intensely as they clutch the lifeless bodies of their children, searching for food and shelter from bombs. I renew my appeal to leaders: cease fire, release all hostages, and fully respect international humanitarian law!

THE LITTLE GIRL WHO INSPIRED CHANGE IN CATHOLIC TEACHING🇻🇦🕊️

Who helped inspire Pope Pius X to lower the age for First Communion?

Ellen Organ never turned five years old, yet her love for the Blessed Sacrament raised her to the heights of sanctity.

Born in County Waterford, Ireland, in 1903, Ellen Organ—better known as Nellie—was the fourth child of poor but deeply-devout Catholic parents. Her father, facing unemployment early in his marriage, chose to become a soldier in the British Army rather than emigrate. The family was first stationed in Waterford, then in Cork.

Nellie’s mother, Mary, died of tuberculosis in early 1907, and William—facing the reality that he could not both work and care for his children—placed them in the care of religious communities. Nellie went to stay with the Good Shepherd Sisters, along with her sister Mary.

Here the “Little Violet of the Blessed Sacrament” spent the remainder of her life, both in profound suffering and in holiness that seemed beyond her years. Her angelic disposition and Heaven-sent intuition about spiritual things endeared her to the Sisters and convinced them that this was a very special child.

Nellie had a tender love for “Holy God,” as she had always called Him. She was particularly attracted to the Blessed Sacrament and knew early on exactly what—or rather, Who—this Sacrament was. She loved to see Our Lord enthroned in the monstrance, and she longed to receive Him. She would ask those who had been to Mass to kiss her so that she could participate in some way in their Communions.

But Nellie suffered from a grave injury to her spine, caused by a fall as a baby. This injury would cause her terrible pain, yet she did not complain, bearing everything with fortitude even though she was unable to walk much of the time and had to be carried. A painful jaw disease and eventually tuberculosis would also bring her life to an early close.

In view of her probable death and of her profound understanding of the Sacraments and the truths of the Faith, Nellie was able to receive her Confirmation, First Confession, and First Holy Communion, though she was far below the normal age. Her ecstasy upon receiving Our Lord for the first time and every time thereafter—32 times in all—was celestial.

Little Nellie died in February of 1908. Around this time, a white-robed man in Rome had been considering lowering the age for Holy Communion. According to a monsignor familiar with the matter, Pope Pius X heard about Little Nellie and, turning to his Cardinal Secretary, said, “There! That is the sign for which I was waiting!”

Quam Singulari, the decree lowering the age for First Communion, was promulgated in 1910.

I'm an American Jew and spent several months working in Gaza as a journalist. Hamas could have easily harmed me, taken me captive or killed me, but it took extra measures to protect me, while never interfering in my work.

Hamas is resisting against genocide, just like the Jews of the Warsaw ghetto resisted against the Nazis.

Zionists are today's Nazis, and they have such influence in the U.S. government that the White House press secretary mentions Israel before her own country.

The U.S. does not have sovereignty under Zionism, and allowing this fifth column to influence our country will destroy it.
