@Vitus_osst I'm here in Medjugorje now. Send any petitions you'd like me to pray for at this Oasis of Peace when I go for adoration! You have.... 24 hours before Round 1.
Waking from my afternoon nap here in Medjugorje.
I'll be hiking up Apparition Hill here in 45 minutes.
Please send any intentions you'd like me to pray for while I'm up there. This little one will pray for you also 😊
Don't cut off your parents.
Yes, it is exceedingly difficult to “honor your father and your mother” when they have objectively failed you as parents. This is a heavy cross to bear, and those who bear it deserve our sympathy. But it is not heavier than the cross of Christ, who was more innocent than any one of us.
“No Contact,” by contrast, is not heroic. It is often the easy way out, and out with it goes the Fourth Commandment. If respect for our parents is rooted in fear of God, then “No Contact” is like sedevacantism, where we avoid a “bad pope” by insisting there’s no pope, or like a petulant breed of atheism that insists God is too mean to exist.
Even the most reprehensible parent can be talked to—maybe only once a month or twice a year, and maybe with much guardedness. But it must be done—conscientiously, resolutely, with unwavering attention to self-protection and protection of the innocents under our authority.
We’re not insular Jews or Amish. Our faith is contact. If we shun it in our own families, we’ll falter in it everywhere else.
Do you see our little brother in Christ ?
Such an innocent sweet babyboy♥️
Don't look away from him trying to wake up his mama not knowing she's unalived😭😭😭
They took her life for the same faith she grew up in and was going to teach her son.
I cannot imagine what he's seen or been through or if he witnessed his mother going to heaven💔
Thank you God somebody found him.
I'm so sorry he had to find his mama like this.
Humanity sucks 😞

Matthew: "One of the disciples cut a man's ear off."
Mark: "One of the disciples cut a man's ear off."
Luke: "One of the disciples cut a man's ear off."
John: "It was Peter. Lol."
It has now been confirmed Charlie Kirk received a Catholic Funeral Mass inside a Catholic Church.
Under Canon Law, the only people (aside from full Catholics) who can receive a Catholic Funeral Mass are Catholic catechumens/candidates, unbaptized children whose parents intended to have them baptized, or baptized non-Catholic Christians, when the local bishop judges it appropriate, provided:
1the deceased did not oppose a Catholic funeral, and
2the deceased’s own minister is unavailable.
Since Charlie Kirk was not an unbaptized child and his own Protestant minister was certainly available, this means…
1. Charlie Kirk had already privately entered into the Catholic Church
2. He was a Catholic Candidate going through OCIA on the path to being received into the Church at the Easter Vigil of 2026.
(The only other option I can see would be that some exceptional dispensation was granted by the Bishop or Canon Law was not followed.)
What am I missing?
@g62841849@BreeSolstad@Bog_i_Hrvati Generously, communism is terrible about all religion because they believe government should come before God. During the war, they dropped a bomb on St. James church. Look it up and tell me what happened.
@g62841849@BreeSolstad@Bog_i_Hrvati You cite local bishops rulings during Yugoslavian government control of the region. Do you know what happened to the priests who acknowledged their belief the apparitions were real? Do you know what the Yugoslav government DID to these 9-16 year olds?
