Well done Ireland 🇮🇪

[Dr. Marcus De Brun @indepdubnrth]

Just to be clear Dr Fauci is found in contempt of the US Congress, whilst in Ireland the Doctors who publicly criticised Covid Policies are before The Irish Medical Council receiving sanctions and people like Dr Tony Holohan, Dr Varadkar and Simon Harris aren't even questioned!

[Catholic Sat @CatholicSat]

This morning on Mount Tabor, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was offered at the very place where the Transfiguration occurred, the very place where Our Blessed Lord shone with bright rays of light, Moses and Elijah appeared, and the voice of God the Father called Him His Son.

I live in the most ridiculous country on earth!

The Irish government is launching a 'national strategy to tackle the influence of online trends seen to be pressuring women into particular roles."

Baking bread, gardening and spending time with your children is now a bad thing apparently. It's so bad that the government will spend a fortune to convince you that a woman's place is in the workplace.

They want you to think that women, who literally bring forth life onto earth, exist solely to be interchangeable economic units.

This is government overreach on an entirely new level, these politicians will continue to test you until you push back.

5 POWERFUL THINGS
EVERY CATHOLIC SHOULD DO
BEFORE LEAVING THE HOUSE

1. Make the Sign of the Cross

The Sign of the Cross is a simple but powerful prayer that reminds us we belong to God. It places our thoughts, words, and actions under the protection of the Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Beginning your day with this sign is a way of asking God to guide every step you take.

2. Pray the Guardian Angel Prayer

God lovingly assigns each of us a guardian angel to protect and guide us. Before leaving home, ask your guardian angel to watch over you, keep you safe from danger, and help you make holy choices throughout the day. It is a beautiful reminder that you are never alone.

3. Offer Your Day to God

Before facing your responsibilities, offer your entire day to the Lord. Dedicate your work, studies, joys, struggles, and sacrifices to Him. When you offer your day to God, even ordinary moments become opportunities to glorify Him and grow in holiness.

4. Ask for Our Lady’s Intercession

As our spiritual Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary lovingly to intercedes for us. Ask her to guide you closer to Jesus, protect you from temptation, and wrap you in her maternal care. Just as she cared for Jesus, she continues to care for all who seek her prayers.

5. Read One Bible Verse

Start your day by listening to God’s voice through Sacred Scripture. Even a single verse can strengthen your faith, give you wisdom for the day ahead, and remind you of God’s promises.Let His Word shape your heart before the world shapes your mind.

“Leave your house with God, and you’ll never walk alone. And you will start your day joyfully.”

HAVE A POSITIVE AND WONDERFUL MONDAY AND WEEK AHEAD 😇

[Saint Adaugoijele ✝️ @JustAdaugoijele]

Dear Catholics :
It's not a service, it's a liturgy.
It's not a robe, they are vestments.
It's not wine, it's the Blood of Jesus Christ
It's not bread, it's the Body of Jesus Christ,
Its not a table, it's an altar
It's not a song, it's a hymn.
It's not a poem, it's a psalm
It's not a preacher, it's a priest
It's not only a personal relationship, it's a convenantal relationship
I love being Catholic, it's our life and lifestyle..

THE CHURCH FATHER WHO WROTE THIS IN 107 AD AND IT SILENCES EVERY PROTESTANT ARGUMENT

St. Ignatius of Antioch was a student of the Apostle John. He was arrested and sent to Rome to be eaten by lions.

On the way, he wrote seven letters. In 107 AD, within living memory of the Apostles, he wrote:

“Where the bishop is, there let the multitude of believers be; even as where Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church.” (Letter to the Smyrnaeans, 8:2)

This is the first recorded use of the term “Catholic Church” and it comes from a man who personally knew the Apostle who leaned on Jesus’ chest at the Last Supper.

He also wrote:

“Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions… They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ.”

Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The Catholic Church by name. Obedience to bishops in apostolic succession.

107 AD. Not the Council of Trent. Not the Middle Ages.

The next time someone tells you the Catholic Church invented these doctrines centuries later, show them Ignatius.

He wrote this on the way to die for it.

Eighteen-year-old Maël Le Lagadec has drawn international attention after carrying a newly built wooden cross to the summit of Pic d’Aneto, the highest mountain in the Pyrenees.

On May 9, the young Frenchman climbed for approximately fourteen hours while carrying the 35-kilogram cross on his back, together with a 15-kilogram backpack. Measuring 1.10 metres high, 70 centimetres wide and 11 centimetres thick, the cross was transported to an altitude of 3,404 metres in the Spanish region of Aragon.

The extraordinary journey began after the original metal cross, which had marked the summit since 1951, was cut down with a grinder and stolen in April 2026. Refusing to leave the mountain without its Christian symbol, Maël and a friend decided to build a replacement themselves from black walnut wood.

“A few weeks ago, we discovered that the Aneto cross had disappeared,” he explained. “With a friend, we launched this somewhat crazy project to rebuild it.”

After enduring the exhausting ascent, Maël finally reached the summit and restored the Cross to its place above the Pyrenees. Overcome with emotion, he knelt beside it and wept.

“I arrive, I kneel, and I cry.”

Someone tried to remove the Cross from the mountain.

An eighteen-year-old carried it back. ✝️🏔

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

I’ve just finished reading Gad Saad’s book Suicidal Empathy.

It ranks, along with Chris Rufo’s America’s Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything and Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay’s Cynical Theories, as the best take-down of the lunacy at the heart of the wokeist philosophy.

For Saad, empathy—in itself a perfectly decent trait—has become so grossly exaggerated that it threatens truth, reality, and justice.

Cases in point abound: so they won’t feel bad about themselves, we’ll allow biological men to compete in women’s sports and crush the dreams of thousands of young women; so as not to undermine the self-esteem of minorities, we will permit unqualified candidates to have positions in universities and the corporate world; so that everyone might feel included, we will characterize the meritocracy as “white privilege,” etc.

As I was making my way through Saad’s book, I kept remarking the sharp distinction between empathy and love.

To empathize is to enter profoundly into the experience of another and to endeavor not to hurt that person’s feelings. But to love is, as Thomas Aquinas taught, “to will the good of the other.”

As I said, in itself and all things being equal, empathy is a good thing. But it is not the same as love, which, depending on circumstances, can very much involve hurting someone’s feelings.

When a professor gives a student a “C” as an honest reflection of his work, he might well be insulting him, but he’s also telling him the truth and perhaps even urging him to try harder.

When, in the Confessional, a priest tells a murderer to turn himself in to the police, he’s undoubtedly making that person’s life more uncomfortable, but he’s also willing the man’s good.

Any decent parent knows that showing real love for her children means engendering all kinds of bad feelings in them.

In light of this distinction, we can understand why Jesus didn’t say, “have empathy for one another,” but rather “love one another.” And why St. John the Evangelist didn’t say, “God is empathy,” but rather “God is love.”

It occurred to me as I was reading Saad’s book that one reason Wokeism has seized the consciousness of so many in the West is that Christianity has faded as a cultural force and Christians themselves have forgotten what stands at the heart of their faith.

Fathers Michele Tomaszek and Zbigniew Strzałkowski, two Catholic priests serving in Peru, were shot and killed in 1991 by the communist terrorist group Shining Path because they opposed its violent communist revolution and continued their Christian mission among the poor.

Spanish forward Ferran Torres, who scored the winning goal against Argentina in the FIFA World Cup final, has spoken openly about the importance of his Catholic faith. He once said: “I have a cross and an image of the Virgin. They give me a great deal of faith.”

@RadioGenoa What is wrong with these people?

[Susanne Delaney @SuzieD755164]

It has been just over two months (17 May 2026) since Alex Coughlan's rich and meaningful existence was casually and cruelly taken, and both of the accused have still yet to be charged with murder (further charges are likely in time). His family wish to keep Alex in the collective memory of the public as much as possible.

This entails more than acknowledging his death but also his life; and so they would like me to share this clip of Alex having a laugh with his younger sister Zara. To give another small glimpse into the type of person he was. To show that he had people who loved him. Who miss him. People whose path's were interwoven with Alex's in a million ways, until evil crossed his path on that unimaginable day.

Rest In Peace Alex.

Please share.

[Care Champions Ireland @CareChampions2]

This is 79-year-old Robert Thompson from Bray. Robert is completely blind, but until recently, he has managed to live a highly independent life with the help of his brilliant guide dog, Rhona.

But right now, Wicklow County Council is failing him, and the entire visually impaired community.

For years, the audible signals at pedestrian crossings across Bray have been faulty. Recently, things have gone from bad to worse. The critical audio signals that tell Robert where the crossing pole is (the "wait" sound) and when it is actually safe to cross (the "go" sound) have stopped working entirely on busy routes near his home.

"There’s no way I would cross that road without the sound," Robert says. "It’s just too dangerous."

To make matters worse, recent changes to the local Dublin bus network (replacing the old 145 route with the E1 spine) mean his usual handy bus stops are gone. Because the council has left the nearby pedestrian signals broken, Robert can no longer cross the street safely at his local stop.

Robert is now forced to get off the bus early and walk a massive, grueling 1.5 kilometers EACH WAY along a highly dangerous, busy stretch of road just to find a single working crossing.

Robert has contacted Wicklow County Council repeatedly. They have acknowledged his complaints, but they have met him with absolute silence regarding any actual repairs.

Basic mobility and safety should be a right, not a luxury. By ignoring these broken signals for years, the council is effectively trapping vulnerable residents in their own towns and actively stripping away their independence.

Please SHARE this post! Let’s get the word out and force Wicklow County Council to do their job, fix the audio signals in Bray, and restore safety and freedom to Robert and others who rely on them!

What this man and his band of fanatical supporters have done to our country is, in my view, unforgivable. He certainly never received a public mandate to turn Ireland into what many people feel is a cesspool of failed policies, rising disorder, and deep division.
