We come to Mass not to dance, clap, focus on the priest, etc.
Jesus is the reason why we come to Mass.

Jesus is why we are Catholic. Not the priest and definitely not the Pope.
We are Catholics because of Jesus.

I asked Dan Hurley the same question I asked Tom Izzo: why does the media have a problem with coaches coaching players hard?

Hurley: "Society has gotten soft in a lot of ways... The real world is tough and cruel... I'm preparing my players for life."

[Dan Zaksheske @RealDanZak]

I asked Tom Izzo about the viral clip of Charles Barkley defending his coaching style by saying people have gotten too soft.

Izzo: "Now we're supposed to just hug and kiss everybody... Accountability is going to be big until I leave."

Here are the Top 10 Mid-Majors at Scouting/ Developing talent in College Football.

Schools that develop well often get overlooked in the portal era, where stars seldom finish their careers where they started.

Which of these programs develops the best?

Integrity. Tampering college coaches and agents take note.

The Giants are going through their normal Saturday walk through at the stadium, and a security guard approaches Bill Parcells and says a bus driver has an urgent message for him. They let him into practice, and he tells Parcells he just drove the Cardinals to their team hotel, and that a player left their Giants scouting report, and game play script on the bus. Offers it to Parcells. He responds “ drop it off at their hotel. I don’t want it. “

Tom Monaghan, founder of Domino’s Pizza :

“For me, the Mass is the most important part of my day. Except under dire circumstances, I attend Mass daily.… Nothing is more important than our daily spiritual bread, which of course, is the Eucharist.”

He attends daily Mass, prays the Rosary, and devotes his wealth to building Catholic institutions like Ave Maria University.
His life is a witness of his faith in Christ in a world that worships success, he lives to bring souls to Heaven.

Mel Gibson is producing a miniseries about the Great Siege of Malta (1565), one of the most heroic episodes in Christian history.

But do you know the full story of the Siege?

It was the year of our Lord 1565. The Ottoman Empire sent 40,000 soldiers to destroy the Knights of Malta. The Knights had only 700 men.

Grand Master Jean de Valette, 70 years old refused to surrender. When the enemy breached the walls, the 70-year-old knight ran into the breach with his sword to fight hand-to-hand.

The Ottoman Sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent, sought to expand his dominion over the Christian West. Having already conquered vast swathes of Europe, Asia, and Africa, his gaze turned to Malta. The island was held by the Knights of St. John, a devout Catholic order of warrior-monks who had been expelled from their previous stronghold in Rhodes by Suleiman himself.

Despite their small numbers, the Knights had rebuilt their strength and fortified Malta, vowing to defend it as a bulwark for Christendom.

Despite their losses, the defenders of Malta refused to yield. Grand Master de Valette, a man of deep faith and extraordinary leadership, inspired his men to greater feats of bravery.

He reminded them that they were not merely fighting for Malta but for the very soul of Christendom. Prayers rose unceasingly from the churches of the island, and it seemed as though Heaven itself intervened.

Time and again, the Ottomans launched furious assaults, but the defenders held firm.

At one critical moment, a breach in the walls of Birgu was plugged by de Valette himself, who stood in the gap with sword in hand, rallying his men to victory.

His courage became the stuff of legend.

As the summer wore on, the Ottoman forces began to falter. Disease and exhaustion took their toll, and the fierce resistance of the Knights and Maltese sapped their morale.

Then, on September 7, a relief force from Sicily arrived, sent by the Spanish King Philip II. The sight of fresh Christian soldiers reinvigorated the defenders and struck terror into the hearts of the Ottomans.

In a final, desperate clash, the Catholic forces routed the invaders. The Ottomans retreated in disarray, leaving behind their dead, their cannons, and their dreams of conquest.

The Siege of Malta was over. Against overwhelming odds, the Knights of St. John had triumphed, and Malta remained a Catholic stronghold.

The victory was hailed as a miracle and a sign of divine favor. Across Europe, bells rang in celebration, and Pope Pius IV proclaimed the defenders of Malta as true heroes of Christ.

The valor of the Knights and the steadfast faith of the Maltese people had saved Christendom from the encroaching shadow of the Ottoman Empire.

Malta became known as the "Shield of Europe," a testament to the power of faith and the courage of those who fought in the name of Christ.

I humbly request Catholic publishers and presses to print more copies of the books of Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) so that his teachings may reach the entire world. I also pray that Catholics will establish more forums and initiatives in his name to spread his profound and beautiful works. His writings have the power to attract and form generations in the truth of the faith until the return of Christ.
