The first and only theologically compelling explanation of Benedict's resignation. We are in the midst of the Passion in which the Church must be delivered into the hands of sinful men. No point saying 'never Lord'; it's already happening. https://t.co/WReE0GtTel
Every morning Saint Francis de Sales recommends meditating on this:
God had no need for you, yet He made you
He made you out of nothing
He did not need you, and you do not add to Him
Yet out of nothing, He made you solely out of Love.
Consider also the times you’ve betrayed God, but specifically how He brought you back when you repented…
Likewise, you betrayed God, but He brought you back
He had no need to bring you back, but He did.
Solely out of His immense love for you, and you in particular
Remember that God loves you.
"Our shared failure on both sides of the Atlantic is that we forgot where our rights come from, we have treated liberty as something automatic, something in the air that we breathe, instead of the sacred inheritance that needs to be taught and defended and lived by each and every generation"
@glennbeck speech at our Unite The Kingdom and the West rally.
VICTORY!
Pro-Life groups have stopped Kathy Hochul!
Pro-life advocates scored a key legislative victory as New York’s state budget, blocking Hochul's desperate attempt to impose buffer zones around abortion facilities that would have restricted pro-life free speech to pray or protest.
The final budget excluded abortion facilities from the buffer zone measure that had originally applied to both houses of worship and abortion facilities.
Nina Van Valkenburgh, chair of the board of directors of New York State Right to Life, celebrated the pro-life win!
“After much negotiation, the budget was finally passed last week, and, while it certainly was far from perfect, our lobbying efforts helped in the removal of two particularly egregious provisions."
“In the final version, abortion facilities were not included,” she said. “We at New York State Right to Life are grateful that this provision cannot be weaponized against pro-lifers standing for life outside abortion facilities.”
The win helps ensure that pro-life Americans are not jailed for praying or protesting near abortion businesses.
The second provision removed from the budget would have “enshrined a repudiation of parental rights in the case of minors getting abortions into law."
“New York State Right to Life opposed this clause, which was ultimately excluded,” she said. “While we must continue to fight for parental rights to be actively recognized, we are glad the New York State Legislature listened to those, including us, who raised their voices against this further infringement of parents’ right to protect their children from those who would exploit them.”
🚨 JUST IN: Will Cain is BLASTING the terrifying Henry Nowak bodycam footage on national television in front of millions, and CALLING OUT the George Floyd double standard
The sound of Nowak helplessly saying "I can't breathe," "I've been stabbed," and the cop saying "I don't think you have, mate" NEEDS to reach EVERYONE
CAIN: "I can't breathe, Nowak says 9 times...the police walk up to a scene where they know nothing. Only accept the words of DIGWA, that HE was the victim of a racial attack. Placing Nowak in cuffs as he dies at their feet." 😡
"2020, Starmer took a knee in solidarity with the Floyd protestors...[everybody] paid attention...a WHITE teenage kid is dying on a street in England, you can hear him tell police I can't breathe, JUST LIKE Floyd."
NAILED IT, @WillCain
BREAKING: Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton has taken the very early lead in California.
Hilton is now in front of Democrat Xavier Becerra by over three points.
Only 6% of the vote is counted, but it’s a start.
FOX: “Here we go!”
“The early lead, you’ve got, Steve Hilton leading right now.”
“Listen, the cautionary thing here is this means nothing because it is 6% of the vote.”
“It means something because it is 6% of the vote!”
Hilton is off to a strong start in California.
Is something stirring beneath the surface of Catholic Ireland?
@declanganley joins @marymargolohan to discuss the quiet Gen Z revival in the Irish Church, the rigging of the 2018 abortion referendum, mass migration and its effects on Irish culture, and why the Irish establishment is not the moral superior it claims to be.
Tomorrow, 3 June, 4pm EST (9pm BST).
Wow this is interesting! "The head of the Spanish Bishops’ Conference has de facto rejected the substance of Pope Francis’ Amoris Laetitia, writing that Holy Communion is not permitted for married people now living in new relationships.
Issuing a pastoral letter on June 1, to mark the upcoming feast of Corpus Christi, Archbishop Luis Argüello outlined certain instances in which reception of Holy Communion were not to take place." https://t.co/TFXtoQILNc

🚨BREAKING: A pan-European citizen initiative called the "Save Europe Act" has hit 120,000 signatures in just over 48 hrs
It demands Remigration and the continuity of European civilisation.
Europe says enough is enough! 🔥
❤️🔥
La Litania del Sacro Cuore di Gesù fu approvata per l'uso pubblico nel 1899 da Papa Leone XIII.
È composta da 33 invocazioni, una per ogni anno della vita di Cristo.
Alla Litania è annessa un'indulgenza parziale, particolarmente indicata durante il mese di giugno.
A few nights ago, a few professors at the Angelicum treated the students to a private concert by the Hillbilly Thomists.
Although only three members of the eight-man troupe were with us, they sang as though all of Tennessee had somehow found its way into the heart of Rome.
Patriots, we reached our milestone of 100,000 signatures in a mere two days.
The time for Remigration is now, and the process of filing the @SaveEuropeAct starts today.
Together with @MartinSellner_ and five other European initiators, we will formally submit the Act to the @EU_Commission.
Now we need your help more than ever.
Help us reach one million signatures on our campaign page and give this initiative real political weight before it even reaches Brussels. With your support, we will make it impossible for them to ignore us.
P.S. Don’t worry if you haven’t received the confirmation email yet. Your signature still counts. We’re fixing it!
June is dedicated to The Sacred Heart of Jesus. ❤️
The Promises of the Sacred Heart of Jesus to St. Margaret Mary
(1) “I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.
(2) I will establish peace in their homes.
(3) I will comfort them in all their afflictions.
(4) I will be their secure refuge during life, and above all, in death.
(5) I will bestow abundant blessings upon all their undertakings.
(6) Sinners will find in my Heart the source and infinite ocean of mercy.
(7) Lukewarm souls shall become fervent.
(8) Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.
(9) I will bless every place in which an image of my Heart is exposed and honored.
10) I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.
(11) Those who shall promote this devotion shall have their names written in my Heart.
(12) I promise you in the excessive mercy of my Heart that my all-powerful love will grant to all those who receive Holy Communion on the First Fridays in nine consecutive months the grace of final perseverance; they shall not die in my disgrace, nor without receiving their sacraments. My divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.”
Il presidente della Conferenza Episcopale Spagnola ricorda alle persone divorziate e "risposate" che non possono ricevere la Santa Comunione.
La Dottrina Cattolica è chiara: Non si può ricevere la Comunione se il Matrimonio è "terminato" e si ha una nuova relazione.

This is breathtaking.
