Transitus: St. Francis Embraces Sister Death breski1 On October 3, 1226, Francis of Assisi died. Franciscans worldwide observe this day as the Transitus: his journey from this life to the next. Every year, Franciscans all over the world celebrate the Transitus, or passing, of St. Francis with a memorial service that often includes a reenacting of St. Francis’ final hours, storytelling, and singing, keeping alive the spirituality that Francis and his early companions left us. The most famous and most widely read of the early collections of Franciscan stories emerged around the year 1330 in the Marches (borderlands) of Ancona, Italy, and was called The Little Flowers of Saint Francis. From that classic of Western literature and other early sources, I have selected a few of the original stories about the death of St. Francis. These reflections are written in gratitude for the life and spirituality of Francis of Assisi, who continues to inspire countless seekers to embrace the joy found …Күбрәк
Your Guardian Angel Chose You Personally Every person has a unique guardian angel, chosen by the angel themselves, who has been with them since conception. This angel, a messenger between God and humanity, aims to lead their charge to heaven while respecting their free will. Despite challenges and misunderstandings, the angel remains faithful, working towards the individual’s ultimate good, as exemplified in the story of Job. Guardian angels are always present, battling for us and leading us to heaven, but they respect our free will and require our invitation to intervene more directly. By praying, asking for help, and opening our hearts, we can allow our guardian angels to work extraordinary things in our lives, guiding us to God’s will and truth. Naming our guardian angels is discouraged as it implies authority over them, contradicting their role as our protectors and guides. Fr.

Obscene scenes involving a statue of Our Lady in Porto-Vecchio, Corsica. In the early hours of October 1, one man climbed onto the statue, made obscene gestures and rocked it violently back and forth while another man filmed. The statue was then ripped from its pedestal. Two young seasonal workers, aged 25 and 21, have been arrested.
Hatred, stupidity, madness: In Porto-Vecchio, two individuals desecrate a statue of the Virgin Mary - "A desecration that must not be trivialized, the images are unbearable"
Schneider is currently at the CIC with Michael Matt. Use this great interview for follow-up questions there.
Humanly speaking, Bishop Schneider doesn't see Leo XIV reversing Francis' course. The celebration of the Pontifical Mass at the end of October in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore - instead of St. Peter’s Basilica - can be described as a “consolation prize,” Bishop Athanasius Schneider told Gloria.tv (video below). It is “sad,” he said, that these Catholics are not allowed to celebrate Mass in St. Peter’s. At the same time, Santa Maria Maggiore is the most important Marian church in Christendom. Both Pius V - who codified the traditional Mass for all time - and Francis - who restricted it - are buried there. Bishop Schneider intends to pray with the faithful for liturgical peace and for the traditional Mass to be celebrated again without restrictions. Asked whether Leo XIV might reverse Francis’ course, Schneider replied: “Humanly speaking, I don’t think so. But there is still God.” The pilgrimage will pray for Leo XIV, asking God to grant him many graces. Schneider calls the suppression …Күбрәк
Jane Allen was suffering from anorexia. She traveled to Colorado seeking treatment. Instead, her doctor offered assisted suicide — a prescription for death. Her father intervened just in time. Jane began to heal — eating again, tapering off morphine. The anorexia clinic dropped her, calling her a “liability.” When Jane chose life, her doctors walked away. Assisted suicide isn’t healthcare. It’s preying on the sick and vulnerable.
Yes, communism which NON Russians brought to the people and killed tens of millions of CATHOLICS AND ORTHODOX. Some people ought to take out all the hate from their hearts and their lying and get rid of the ignorance they speak. What was Sister Lucia concerned about? communism. What does the Church teach? communism is a sin and evil. Who did the Saintly Popes reach out to? The Russian Orthodox. Who did the Russian Orthodox reach out to? Saintly Popes. Who did most of those Saintly Popes and more condemned fiercely? protestantism. The slaughterer of souls. And also the mind. YES! The errors of Russia! But NOT of the Russian People! As the Church has said, taught and shown for centuries.

Cardinal McElroy has banned the installation of new Altar rails and discourages temporary kneelers, citing "a disruption of the flow of the Communion line". As you can see here, there is no disruption. Just another garbage excuse to attack the Latin Mass.
I would argue that kneeling and on the tongue is faster and more fluid than standing with Eucharistic minister placing the Eucharist in their dirty hands, stepping to the site, and then placing the host in your own mouth. Two operations as opposed to one so what is he even talking about.
U.S. congresswoman promotes transgender ideology in speech at Catholic church. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), a Democratic congresswoman from New York, spoke at the pro-homosexual All Saints Catholic Church in the Diocese of Syracuse on September 28. The event was aimed at mobilizing inactive Democratic voters ahead of the midterms. Speaking from the church’s sanctuary area, AOC accused conservatives of trying to make Catholics “turn against” their “trans brothers and sisters and neighbors and siblings.”
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) spoke from the pulpit at a Catholic church this week, co-opting the authority of the Church to accuse conservatives of making Catholics “turn against … our trans brothers and sisters and neighbors and siblings.”
We all know why... Robert Kennedy Jr: “We’re seeing an explosion in all cancers in young people and particularly soft tissue cancers. But more than that, most alarming probably, is this giant increase in colorectal cancers... We are in the process of developing very, very rigid screening recommendations for young people with colorectal cancers. We’re also looking at causation.”
The funny thing about this man is that he pretends he is against vaccines. On the other hand he is working with Dr. Oz and phizer to come up with more vaccines and just as fast as the last batch Trump loves to claim as the vax Daddy.
Poor Jesus. Just as there is nothing sacred in dancing on Calvary, there is nothing sacred in jumping in the presence of Jesus in the holy sacrament. One more hireling leading the flock astray.
Canada’s MAID program has surpassed 100,000 deaths since assisted suicide was legalized in 2016. The debate has intensified after the death of 83-year-old Brigitte Stegemann in Ontario. Her family disputes that she validly consented to MAID and says the procedure went ahead despite their objections. More than 16,000 MAID deaths were recorded in 2024, while a further expansion involving mental illness is scheduled for 2027.

A new video has emerged from the devastating earthquake in La Guaira, Venezuela. The footage shows the collapse of several residential buildings, with people desperately trying to find a safe place.
And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon cast out of his mouth. Women is the Church . River of sin and rebellion . Earthquakes sign rebellion coming to end get on the Ark of salvation .You never know the time of your judgement
So many earthquakes and disasters. One after the other. We are getting closer everyday. It is growing more and more. Yet still in the beginning. So much more is yet to happen. Will there be a time when everything will hit us all at once? War, famine, disease etc.

The Cardinal is one of the rising stars of the French episcopate. Seated beside him was Jean-Félix Acquaviva, the former autonomist MP currently under investigation for alleged passive corruption (offering positions to young women in exchange for sexual favours). Acquaviva has denied the allegations. #newsAoonddakbb
Q The Storm Rider @Q_TheStormRider 9 out of the 12 NYPD officers that allegedly went through the Anthony Weiner Laptop, “committed suicide". All 9 of them died by a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Self inflicted? I don’t believe that. It sounds more like executions to me. Tick Tock Hillary.
