Mirror to Heaven.
Rome’s Hidden Miracle
The ceiling of Sant’Ignazio di Loyola isn’t curved…
It’s completely flat. Andrea Pozzo’s 17th-century trompe-l’œil masterpiece tricks your eyes into seeing infinity.
Pure magic.
Pope St. Pius X was speaking to a group of Cardinals. Pope Pius asked them, "What do we need to save society?"
Cardinal: Build more Catholic schools!
Pius: No
Cardinal: Build more churches!
Pius: No.
Cardinal: Recruit more priests??
Pius: Still No.
Cardinal: Then WHAT??
Pius: The most necessary thing of all is for each parish to have a group of laymen who are at the same time virtuous, enlightened, resolute, and truly apostolic.
[From "Soul of the Apostolate," 168.]

'Where dialogue ends and patience runs out with relations with those who are different, whom you may not like or do not see things the way you do, that is where the seeds of violence take root and the virus of war spreads. This message is extremely relevant today'
Giorgia Meloni speaking on the Feast of Saint Francis in Assisi last year
Thanks to Meloni, the Feast Day is once again a national holiday
@HaruhiAisaka This was a great article! At the Easter Vigil, I met an anime fan family, and the next time I see them, I need to show them your work! Congrats!
@kamenamerica@HaruhiAisaka I also love how Kamen America splashes some Catholic elements into your work via Carly and Sylvia.
I’ve just become a recent fan of both of your works! 🙏
Looking forward to checking out the Soulfinder series by @iconic_comics next! ✌️
To my American friends,
I want to speak from the heart, because this moment truly moved me as a Japanese citizen.
When President Trump made that Pearl Harbor joke, it wasn’t just humor to us. It felt like a weight I’d carried my whole life was suddenly lifted. My chest tightened, and honestly, tears came close.
For 80 long years, we Japanese have lived under a heavy shadow — the constant expectation to apologize, to reflect, to stay in “guilt mode.” Even though we’re the closest of allies, that old wound never fully healed. We felt bound by the past, by the Constitution America helped write for us, always a little smaller, always needing to prove we were sorry enough.
But in that single joke, Trump did something powerful. He turned a painful history into a shared laugh between equals. It was like he was saying:
“Hey, it was a long time ago. We’re good. Let’s move forward — as brothers.”
No more endless atonement. No more living in the shadow of being the “former enemy.” The curse broke. Japan feels free to stand tall again.
Right now, cherry blossoms are blooming beautifully all across Japan. 🌸
This spring, the sakura feels like a perfect symbol — a fresh beginning. Not two nations stuck in old roles, but true equals, proud brothers, shoulder to shoulder, ready to build the future together.
To the American people:
We don’t want to be subordinates forever. We want to be your real partners — strong, proud, and loyal. The kind of allies who ride or die together.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, America.
The strongest alliance in the world is rising again — as equals, as brothers, forever.

Exorcists like Fr. Chad Ripperger and the Doloran Fathers have observed something powerful...🇻🇦
When people faithfully pray the traditional Angelus at 6 AM, noon, and 6 PM, demonic influence is often stopped cold or greatly reduced. It “cleans out the demons,” builds spiritual immunity, and helps overcome deep-rooted sins.
Here are 3 key reasons why the enemy despises this beautiful prayer:
1️⃣ It Celebrates the Incarnation: The Angelus proclaims that “the Word was made Flesh and dwelt among us.” Demons tremble at the moment God became man in Mary’s womb. That single event began the defeat of Satan and opened the way for our salvation. Every time we recall the Annunciation, we remind the devil of his ultimate loss.
2️⃣ It Honors the Blessed Virgin Mary: The prayer repeatedly invokes “Holy Mary, Mother of God” and her humble “Fiat” (Be it done unto me). Demons hate Mary with a special fury because she is the woman who crushes the serpent’s head. Her cooperation with God’s plan brought the Redeemer into the world.
3️⃣ It Anchors Us in Discipline and Grace: Praying it three times a day creates a rhythm of turning to God throughout our busy lives. This simple act of obedience and meditation on Christ’s Passion and Resurrection keeps us in a state of grace and makes it much harder for the enemy to gain a foothold.
The full Angelus is short and powerful.
Try it for a week at 6-12-6 and see the difference. The Church gives us real weapons…let’s use them!
