In Dilexi te, Pope Leo punctuates Francis’ pontificate and builds on his own themes regarding the poor. The document serves as a sign of continuity between Francis and Leo, and is a clear mandate to those who would treat the poor as if they don’t exist. World leaders, take heed! You cannot call yourself self a Christian and cast away the poor as if they were invisible.
Subsistence farming means being tied to the land, which is something to be desired, but since we're between farms we have spent the summer doing much of what we couldn't have otherwise done. First, camping at the Catholic Land Movement Conference, and then the Shakespeare Festival in Saint Mary's Kansas. The wife and kids are over the moon and refreshed to hunker back down. I highly recommend both if you have the means.

Wednesday afternoon, Pope Leo XIV addressed participants in the Raising Hope Conference in Castel Gandolfo, organised by the Laudato Si’ Movement, commemorating the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical of the same name.
A block of ice stood on a pedestal representing the melting polar ice caps. After his address, Pope Leo blessed the water with these words:
Lord of Life, bless this water, may it awaken our hearts, cleanse our indifference, soothe our grief, and renew our hope, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Holy Father then blessed the assembly and conference.
The exorcist of the diocese of Rome, Father Gabriele Amorth, managed to obtain in his countless exorcisms some disturbing phrases related to the Eucharistic Adoration. These words, torn from demons, reveal the extraordinary power of being in the presence of the Holy Sacrament.
Here are these phrases:
• “Here he is, hidden in that white bread! But he is not hidden from us; we see him and his light burns us. It's like a fire we can't put out!”
• “That piece of bread isn’t just bread. It's He, the same one who threw us out of heaven! “We hate it, but we can’t get close! "
• “If human beings knew who really exists, the whole world would kneel and we would be defeated forever!”
• “Every minute spent in front of Him takes away our strength. He forces us to flee like cowards!”
• “The place where they worship Him is full of angels. We can't get in there even with our traps!”
• “When you worship Him, He strengthens your souls and destroys everything that we have done in your lives.”
• “An hour in front of Him takes away the souls we had trapped for years. It’s like a big war against us, and we always lose it!”
• “The Holy Hour fills your homes and families with light. “We can’t stand that light, it blinds us!”
• “When Holy Hour is made for sinners, they receive His mercy and our chains are broken. It's a condemnation for us!”
• “Those hours of silence in front of Him are like a hammer that hits our heads. We can't resist you!”
• “When they look at him, they don’t say anything, but He acts in their hearts.
This is destroying us from the inside!”
• “Silence in front of Him is more powerful than a thousand words. He fills them with grace and makes them invincible!”
• “Every moment of adoration offered by the souls of purgatory sets them free. Those deeds are like swords that cut our chains!”
• “The souls that He frees take ground and we can’t take it back! ”
• “When they offer their adoration for the dead, we lose and they gain His light. This is unbearable!”
• “Stop these repair cults! Every act in front of Him destroys what we have built with so much labor”
• “When they make amends for swearing and sacrileges, they weaken us more than they can imagine”
• “Restorative worship is poison for us. It's like they destroy everything we do in their souls!”
• “Those who spend time in His presence are protected! It's like they built a fire barrier around them. We can't reach them easily!”
• "Every time one of you looks at him with faith, we receive a punishment that hurts us more than a thousand chains"
• “When someone adores him with all his heart, he takes away what is ours. Humbles us every time!”
• “Those prayers in front of the Blessed Sacrament for sinners are our ruin. They receive His mercy and repent, and it destroys our traps!”
• “When you pray for the lost before Him, He shows you His love and breaks our chains. It's a disaster for us!”
• “Worship for sinners leaves us powerless over them. He covers them in his blood and we can't touch them anymore!”
• “It burns us, it burns us! “That light that radiates from the Blessed Sacrament is like a fire that never goes out”
• “He’s alive there and we can’t stand it. Her looks destroy us”
• “Every consecrated bar is a torment for us. It’s here and we can’t get close to it!”
• “Souls that consecrate themselves to Adoration are like swords that pierce us. Can't beat him!”
• "Those small groups that worship Him are more powerful than our entire armies"
• “An hour with Him is worth more than thousands of prayers that do not include His presence”
• “The adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is like the rain that extinguishes the fires we have lit in the world.”
• “Those acts of worship bring peace on earth.
Cardenal Zen: “En la inquietante era actual, la gente anhela la verdad, que se puede encontrar en las creencias tradicionales y ortodoxas […] las tradiciones católicas proporcionan (a los jóvenes) un camino completamente diferente del cuerpo y el diablo del mundo"
