Did you know that during exorcisms, Saint Gemma Galgani is known as a remarkably powerful saint, often invoked because demons greatly fear her?
She is the patron saint of those who suffer from back pain, headaches, migraines, and temptations against purity. May she intercede today for all who are afflicted with headaches and migraines. Amen.
Moses had jets and pontoon bridges, apparently.
That's the story one little boy brought home from Sunday school. His mom did not believe a word of it — and his comeback is the best part. Archbishop Fulton Sheen tells it best.

There's a kind of violence Jesus actually wants.
Not the kind that swings a sword. Fulton Sheen points to a different fight — the one turned inward, against the ego, the pride, the parts of us that don't answer to anyone. That's the violence he says we're actually short on.

Faith is not something given to us once and for all. Rather, we continually need to rediscover the face of Christ and his Gospel, to enter more deeply into his message and to renew the choices we make in our lives, so that they may be consistent with what we profess. In this way, we can overcome the temptation to think that we already know everything and to reduce faith to mere habit. #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 16:13-20)
“Police said Lewis yelled at the driver and then grabbed the bat after she said he laughed at her.”
🤣😂🤣 OMG…
“Jennipher…”
Did her parents hate her?
She was angry cuz she just told Starbucks:
“Eeeeee! It’s Jennifer with a ph, bitches!”
Starbucks, as usual, wrote:
“Phennifer” on her cup and it really set her off.
Do NOT diss Phennifer.
She’ll throw down all sick huh?
Flock has 120,000 cameras tracking cars across America, no warrant required. Over 5,000 police agencies have signed on. This isn't crime fighting. This is mass surveillance of every American, and a violation of our 4th Amendment rights.
I spent about 3 hours yesterday going through our vivint driveway camera looking for a @PNMtalk meter reader.
Not a single one was on camera over the last 45 days.
So why is my bill over $600 when its never been more than about $180?
Maybe a class action lawsuit needs to be filed by the people of New Mexico.
The Assumption of Mary lifts our hearts with hope and joy.
It reminds us of God’s promise of eternal life and the glory that awaits those who remain faithful.
Mary’s Assumption inspires us to trust in God and follow her example of faith, humility, and love.
NEW: Cardinal Burke urges Catholics to fight & suffer to ensure access to the traditional Latin Mass.
“It is for us now, even at the cost of suffering, to fight for it that it be as available as possible to to all the faithful who desire it.”

On July 22, the Church celebrates the Feast of St. Mary Magdelene, one of the most prominent women mentioned in the New Testament.
Her name comes from the town of Magdala in Galilee, where she was born. Scripture introduces her as a woman “who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out” (Lk. 8:2).
Some scholars identify Mary Magdalene with the sinful woman who anointed the feet of Christ with oil in the house of Simon the Pharisee (Lk. 7:36-50). Others associate her with Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus (Lk. 10:38-42, Jn. 11). Some believe the three figures to be one person, while others believe them to be three distinct individuals.
What the Scriptures make certain about Mary Magdalene is that she was a follower of Christ, who accompanied and ministered to him (Lk. 8:2-3). The Gospels record her as being one of the women present at Christ’s crucifixion.
In addition, she was the first recorded witness of the Resurrection. The Gospels all describe Mary Magdalene going to the tomb on Easter morning. When she saw that the tomb was empty, she stood outside, weeping. Jesus appeared to her and asked her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” (Jn. 20:15)
She did not recognize him, however, and thought he was the gardener, until he said her name, “Mary!” (Jn. 20:16) Upon hearing this, Mary recognized him. She returned to the grieving disciples to announce to them the message of the Resurrection.
On June 10, 2016, the liturgical celebration honoring St. Mary Magdalene was raised from a memorial to a feast, putting her on par with the apostles.
