Big embarrassment; Look at the body language. This is the UN representative, appointed by @antonioguterres went to Iran after the massacre, bowing multiple times to the regime officials, obeying the hijab she was forced to wear, while Iranian women, ripped that same hijab off in the streets, got arrested and killed.

Western woman have all the power of the free world behind her and she bows. Iranian women nothing but courage and the stand tall without obeying a barbaric law.

they'll say, “well, it's the law of the land, you have to respect it."

Sure. Slavery was the law of the land. Apartheid was the law of the land.

Bad laws don't deserve respect. Apartheid deserves to be deleted.

"Cuenta la leyenda, que un día la verdad y la mentira se cruzaron.
- Buenos días— dijo la mentira.
- Buenos días— contestó la verdad.
- Hermoso día— dijo la mentira.
Entonces la verdad se asomó para ver si era cierto y lo era.
- Hermoso día — dijo entonces la verdad.
- Aún más hermoso está el lago— dijo la mentira. Entonces la verdad miró hacia el lago y vio que la mentira decía la verdad y asintió. Corrió la mentira hacia el agua y dijo:
- El agua está aún más hermosa. Nademos.
La verdad tocó el agua con sus dedos y realmente estaba hermosa y confió en la mentira. Ambas se quitaron la ropa y nadaron tranquilas. Un rato después salió la mentira, se vistió con las ropas de la verdad y se fue. La verdad, incapaz de vestirse con las ropas de la mentira comenzó a caminar sin ropas y todos se horrorizaban al verla. Es así como aún hoy en día la gente prefiere aceptar la mentira disfrazada de verdad y no la verdad al desnudo."

WHAT THE PRIEST REALLY MEANS WHEN HE SAYS, "LIFT UP YOUR HEARTS"

Every Mass has a moment when Heaven leans close.

The priest turns to the people and says:

"Lift up your hearts."

And the Church responds:

"We lift them up to the Lord."

Most Catholics say those words automatically.

But they are among the most important words you will ever speak.

They are not a formality.

They are an ascent.

✝️ YOU ARE BEING CALLED HIGHER

At that moment, the Church invites you to leave behind earthly distractions.

Your worries.

Your plans.

Your resentments.

Your shopping list—which, admittedly, can wait.

The liturgy is ascending toward the Eucharistic sacrifice.

Your heart must ascend with it.

A body may remain in the pew, but the soul is summoned before the throne of God.

✝️ THIS IS AN ANCIENT CHRISTIAN CRY

The phrase comes from the earliest centuries of Christianity.

In Latin, it is Sursum Corda.

Christians have spoken these words for nearly two thousand years.

Kings have heard them.

Martyrs have answered them.

Saints have lived them.

And every Mass unites your voice with theirs.

The Church is ancient, and she has excellent habits.

✝️ THE HEART IN BIBLICAL LANGUAGE

In Scripture, the heart is not merely emotion.

It is the center of the person—

mind,

will,

desire,

love.

To lift up your heart means to offer your entire self to God.

Not part of you.

All of you.

No half-measures at the altar.

✝️ YOU ARE ENTERING HEAVEN'S LITURGY

The Eucharistic Prayer is not ordinary speech.

It is the Church standing at the edge of eternity.

When you answer, "We lift them up to the Lord," you join the worship of angels and saints.

Earth and Heaven meet.

Time touches eternity.

And bread and wine are about to become the Body and Blood of Christ.

Casual is not the word.

✝️ SAY IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT

Those words are a promise.

A commitment.

A declaration.

If your lips say, "We lift them up,"

while your heart remains buried in distraction,

then the words have outrun the soul.

The goal is to let the soul catch up.

✝️ FINAL WORD

The next time you hear those words, do not mumble them.

Do not rush them.

Mean them.

Place everything on the altar:

your joys,

your wounds,

your fears,

your future.

Lift them all.

✝️ REMEMBER THIS ALWAYS

At Mass, God does not merely ask for your attendance.

He asks for your heart.

And when the priest says,

"Lift up your hearts,"

He is inviting you to do exactly that.

Historian Bill Federer: "By 2030, there will be a majority Muslim population in Europe, and they’ll just flat out vote in Sharia law.

People forget Egypt was completely Christian for 6 centuries. It's not anymore. All of North Africa was completely Christian for 6 centuries. It's not anymore.

Constantinople was the largest Christian city in the world, and the largest Christian church in the world for hundreds of years was the Hagia Sophia. And it was turned into a mosque.

They want to do the same thing with the Vatican."

Pay attention to what he’s saying!

THAT'S how you do it. Mexico should do the same, President Sheinbaum should STOP catering to the cartels! 🔥
