THIS IS HOW THE VIRGIN MARY DIED ACCORDING TO SAN JUAN DAMASCENO, DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH🇻🇦🕊️

“The Mother of God did not die of illness, because she did not have to receive the punishment of illness because she had no original sin. She did not die of old age, because she did not have to grow old, since the punishment for the sin of the first parents did not come to her: growing old and ending up due to weakness. She died of love. The desire to go to heaven where her Son was was so great that this love made her die.

Some fourteen years after the death of Jesus, when she had already spent all her time teaching the religion of the Savior to young and old, when she had comforted so many sad people and helped so many sick and dying, she let the Apostles know that now the date of leaving this world for eternity was approaching.

The Apostles loved her as the kindest of all mothers, and they hastened to travel to receive from her maternal lips her last counsel, and from her sacrosanct hands her last blessing.

They arrived, and with copious tears, and on their knees, they kissed those holy hands that had so many times blessed them. For each one of them the exalted Lady had words of comfort and hope. And then, like someone who falls asleep in the most placid of dreams, it was She, the Holy, closing her eyes; and her soul a thousand times blessed, departed for eternity.

The news spread throughout the city, and there was not a Christian who did not come to mourn with his body, as for the death of his own mother. His burial looked more like an Easter procession than a funeral. Everyone sang the Hallelujah with the strongest hope that they now had a most powerful Protector in heaven, to intercede for each one of Jesus' disciples.
Very soft but strong aromas were felt in the air, and each one seemed to hear very soft harmonies of music. But, Thomas the Apostle, he had not been able to arrive on time. When he arrived they had already returned from burying the Blessed Mother.

“Peter,” - said Thomas- “You cannot deny me the great favor of being able to go to the tomb of my most loving mother and give one last kiss to those holy hands that blessed me so many times.” And Peter accepted.

They all went to the Holy Sepulcher, and when they were close they began to feel again very soft aromas in the environment and harmonious music in the air.

They opened the tomb and instead of seeing the body of the Virgin they only found… a great quantity of very beautiful flowers. Jesus Christ had come, He had raised His Blessed Mother and taken her to heaven.

This is what we call The Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

And who of us, if he had the powers of the Son of God, would not have done the same with his own Mother?🇻🇦🕊️

Saint Dominic Makes the devil Tell Him Where He Gains & Where He Loses in Sin🇻🇦🕊️

On one occasion, as St. Dominic was by night walking about the convent of S. Sabina, guarding his flock with the vigilance of a good shepherd, he met the enemy in the dormitory, going like a lion seeking whom he might devour; and recognizing him, he said, "Thou evil beast, what doest thou here?" "I do my office," replied the demon, "and attend to my gains." "And what gains dost thou make in the dormitory?" asked the saint. "Gain enough," returned the demon.

"I disquiet the friars in many ways; for first, I take the sleep away from those who desire to sleep in order that they may rise promptly for matins; and then I give an excessive heaviness to others, so that when the bell sounds, either from weariness or idleness they do not rise; or, if they rise and go to choir, it is unwillingly, and they say their office without devotion." Then the saint took him to the church, and said, "And what dost thou gain here?" "Much, answered the devil; "I make them come late and leave soon. I fill them with disgusts and distractions, so that they do ill whatsoever they have to do." "And here?" asked Dominic, leading him to the refectory. "Who does not eat too much or too little?" was the reply; "and so they either offend God or injure their health." Then the saint took him to the parlour, where the brethren were allowed to speak with seculars, and to take their recreation. And the devil began maliciously to laugh, and to leap and jump about, as if with enjoyment, and he said, "This place is all mine own; here they laugh and joke, and hear a thousand vain stories; here they utter idle words, and grumble often at their rule and their superiors; and whatsoever they gain elsewhere they lose here." And lastly they came to the door of the chapterroom, but there the devil would not enter.

He attempted to fly, saying, "This place is a hell to me; here the friars accuse themselves of their faults, and receive reproof and correction, and absolution. What they have lost in every other place they regain here." And so saying, he disappeared, and Dominic was left greatly wondering at the snares and nets of the tempter; whereof he afterwards made a long discourse to his brethren, declaring the same unto them, that they should be on their guard.🇻🇦🕊️

The police in Paris arrested six Christians for organizing a campaign against the mocking of Jesus' Last Supper at the Paris Olympics. The CitizenGo campaign drove a bus around Paris with a sticker that reads, "STOP ATTACK ON CHRISTIANS!"

Good morning, Christian Twitter!

This is a lesson I learned the hard way. Hoping you’ll heed what he says and live by faith and reason.

Relying on emotions and feelings leads to dangerous places.

On this day in 1943, this iconic photograph was taken. In the morning of July 19th, American bombers targeted the working class district of San Lorenzo in Rome, killing 3,000 civilians. When the bombings stopped, Pius XII visited the area to pray with the frightened population.

Christ descended into hell.

To redeem Adam and Eve and all the Old Testament faithful.

[Father V @father_rmv]

While the body of her Son lays in the tomb and His soul has descended to the dead to announce liberation from the shadow of darkness to his ancestors, the Blessed Virgin Mary, foreshadowing and representing the Church, awaits, in faith, the victorious triumph of her Son over death.

Dom Prosper Gueranger (b. 1805-d. 1875) in his Holy Saturday entry in The Liturgical Year writes:

“And now let us visit the Holy Mother who has passed the night in Jerusalem going over, in saddest memory the scenes she has witnessed. Her Jesus has been a Victim to every possible insult and cruelty: He has been crucified. His Precious Blood has flowed in torrents from those Five Wounds. He is dead and now lies buried in yonder tomb as though he were but a mere man, yea the most abject of men. How many tears have fallen during these long hours from the eyes of the Daughter of David, and yet her Son has not come back to her! Near her is Magdalene, heart-broken by yesterday’s events, she has no words to tell her grief, for Jesus is gone, and as she thinks forever. The other women, less loved by Jesus than Magdalene, yet most dear to Him, stand around the disconsolate Mother. They have braved every insult and danger in order to remain on Calvary till all was over, and they intend returning there with Magdalene, as soon as the Sabbath is over, to honour the tomb and the body of Jesus.

John, the adopted son of Mary, and the Beloved Disciple of Jesus, is oppressed with sorrow. Others, also, of the Apostles and disciples visit the house of mourning. Peter, penitent and humble, fears not to appear before the Mother of Mercy. Among the disciples are Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus. We may easily imagine the conversation — it is on the sufferings and death of Jesus, and on the ingratitude of the Jews. The Church, in the Seventh Responsory of today’s Tenebrae represents these men as saying: ‘Behold! how the Just One dies, and there is none that takes it to heart. Iniquity has had its way. He was silent as a Lamb under his shearer, and he opened not his mouth. He was taken away from distress and judgment: but his memory will be in peace.’

Thus speak the men. The women are thinking of their morrow’s visit to the sepulchre. The saintliness of Jesus, His goodness, His power, His sufferings, His death — everything is remembered, except His Resurrection which they had often heard Him say should certainly and speedily take place.

Mary alone lives in expectation of His triumph. In her was verified that expression of the Holy Ghost, where, speaking of the Valiant Woman, He says: ‘Her lamp will not be put out in the night’ (Proverbs xxxi. 18) Her courage fails not because she knows that the sepulchre must yield up its Dead, and her Jesus will rise again to life. Saint Paul tells us that our religion is vain unless we have faith in the mystery of our Saviour’s Resurrection — where was this faith on the day after our Lord’s death? In one heart only, and that was Mary’s. As it was her chaste womb that had held within it Him whom heaven and earth cannot contain, so on this day, by her firm and unwavering faith, she resumes within her single self the whole Church.

How sacred is this Saturday, which, notwithstanding all its sadness, is such a day of glory to the Mother of Jesus! It is on this account that the Church has consecrated to Mary the Saturday of every week.”

The Feast of the Chair of St. Peter celebrates the papacy and St. Peter as the first bishop of Rome. St. Peter's original name was Simon, but Jesus changed it when He gave Peter the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven.

The month of February is traditionally dedicated to the Most Holy Family.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I give You my heart and my soul.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, assist me in my last agony.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, may I breathe out my soul in peace with You.

[Bishop J. Strickland @BishStrickland]

As we celebrate St John Bosco today we seem to be living his vision of the Church in a terrible storm, anchored to the pillars of Our Lord in the Eucharist and the Immaculate Virgin Mary. Let us hold tight to these two pillars & continue to be guided in the Light of Truth.

How diabolically ironic it is that in this sacred season of preparation, the Francis Vatican has promulgated a new declaration that approves of the blessing of couples who are committed to each other in immoral, even perverted relationships. It is doubly ironic, in light of the fact that Saint John the Baptist was put to death and beheaded over his public condemnation and denunciation of just such an immoral relationship.
My brothers, the blood of the Baptist is upon all shepherds and pastors who embrace or otherwise assent to this outrageous Declaration. I know that no true traditional priest would ever bless that which is evil. All we need do is ask ourselves, “What would John the Baptist do?” We know the answer. He would allow himself to be put in prison and put to death rather than approve of an evil union. The shepherds can remove our faculties, run us out of rectories, and even excommunicate us, but blessing evil? Not over my dead body! - Fr. Celatus

Let us redouble our efforts to pray the Saint Michael the Archangel prayer because “all the evil spirits prowling about the world seeking the ruin of souls” are redoubling theirs.

The incidence rates in the three "vaccination" groups were confirming the complete lack of protective efficacy, seen at the end of 7 1/2 years. BCG offered no overall protection in adults and a low level of overall protection in children. https://t.co/GXqbGPB7Xd

#BCG #vaccine is given at birth to provide “supposed” protection in the early years when the infection is supposed to lead to #tuberculosis.

Now let us dive deeper and read a few facts and ask a few questions including the need for BCG vaccination!

There are many warning about the coming financial crunch. It is supposed to be unlike anything seen before. And after that? You guessed it right. The digital currency will be projected as the solution to all the ills that have plagued paper money. A new Federal Reserve.
