[Venerable Mary of Agreda – XVII Century AD; Agreda, Spain; Mystic; Writer; ‘Blue Nun’] “Chapter III ~ 8T. JOSEPH DISCOVERS THAT MARY IS ABOUT TO BECOME A MOTHER, WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO PENETRATE THE MYSTERY. HE ENDURES GREAT SUFFERINGS ON THIS ACCOUNT. IT was about five months since the eternal Word had become incarnate in the chaste bosom of the Virgin Mary, when St. Joseph began to observe indications of it, and to entertain suspicions. It was the more apparent, because the proportions of her pure form were so perfect, that the least change was perceptible. Deeply concerned and anxious, St. Joseph, as he one day observed her coming forth from her oratory, perceived that it was no longer possible to doubt the testimony of his own eyes. The heart of the man of God was penetrated with profound sorrow, and he was unable to resist the harrowing reflections that tormented his spirit. It may not be without utility or interest to notice some of these reflections, which increased the violence …More
"In these perplexities the saintly husband addressed himself to God in prayer. Placing himself in His presence, ‘Eternal God and my Lord,” he said, “my desires and my groanings are not hidden from Thy divine Majesty. I find myself struggling with violent agitations, I have given my heart to the spouse which I received from Thy hands, I have trusted in her purity, but the strange appearances which I discover in her cast me into the most afflicting perplexity. It would be rash to think that she had been unfaithful and had offended Thee, seeing in her such great purity and so eminent a holiness. It is, nevertheless, impossible to deny the evidence of my senses, and sorrow must destroy me unless there be here some mystery that I have not discovered. Reason exculpates, but the senses condemn her. I see plainly that she conceals from me the cause of her condition. What shall I do? I suspend my judgment, ignorant of the cause of what I see. Receive, O God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob,…More

While we carry the Sacred Scripture along on this issue (and vice versa), others suggest that the sacred writings are now old (and maybe the writers, olden days men). That they don't know science. Not for Genesis, not for the books of the Bible. From this error springs other errors: 1. Days of creation, not literal. 2. Adam and Eve are just metaphorical. 3. Days of creation taking evolution years. 4. If all above are true, then the Bible is false. Nothing is new in this world and the truth though with difficulty, (by God's grace) will always be preserved.
[Venerable Mary of Agreda – XVII Century AD; Agreda, Spain; Mystic; Writer; ‘Blue Nun’] “After the saint had passed three days in the house of Zachariah, he asked permission of his blessed spouse to return to Nazareth. He took leave, with the promise to return and reconduct our sweet Lady when she should express her wishes, St. Elizabeth offered him presents praying him to accept them, but he received only a few things, because this man of God was not only a lover of poverty, but he had also a magnanimous and generous heart. He then took the road to Nazareth with the little beast that he had borrowed. Having arrived at his house, he was served there, in the absence of his spouse, by a relative who lived near,—the same who had been accustomed to bring them supplies from without, when the holy Lady was there. After having passed three months, less two days, in the house of Zachariah, in the midst of events and prodigies which do not belong to this history, the august Mary thought of …More
"After her return home, Lucifer tempted the august Mary in every way, but he was vanquished with all his infernal legions, and precipitated into the depths of hell. While the Lord had permitted Lucifer to show himself, this enemy had contrived to sow discord among the neighbors of St. Joseph. They came together, and, having called for the innocent Mary, they accused her in the presence of her husband, and in the bitterest terms, of troubling the peace of their families. This reproach was keenly felt by our queen, because of the pain which it caused to her spouse, for he had begun to remark something of her condition; and already suffered anxiety and trouble on this account, as we shall see in the following chapter. Now, the demon, ignorant of the real cause of this trouble, strove to plant the seeds of discontent within the bosom of St. Joseph, so as to make him impatient of his poverty; representing to him at the same time that his spouse Mary remained too long in her retreat and …More
[St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori – XVII-XVIII Century AD; Marianella, Kingdom of Naples/Pagani. Kingdom of Naples; spiritual writer, composer, musician, artist, poet, lawyer, theologian; Bishop; Doctor of the Church] “Saint Agatha, Virgin ~ February 5 THIS holy virgin and martyr is held in great veneration by the Greek as well as the Latin Church; and although her original Acts have not been preserved, many well-authenticated facts concerning her martyrdom are found in the Bollandists, Surius, and others. She was a native of Sicily, and descended of a noble and opulent family. These circumstances, added to her extraordinary beauty, inflamed Quintianus, a man of consular dignity, with such love of her, that he resolved to compel her to become his wife. The edicts of the emperor Decius against the Christians having been published, he ordered Agatha to be arrested as a Christian, and conducted to Catania, where he then resided. The holy virgin having heard the proclamation against the …More
"...the saint, perceiving that her life was drawing to a close, made the following prayer: ‘ O Lord, my Creator, who hast preserved me from my infancy, hast given me strength to overcome these torments, and hast taken from me the love of the world, receive now my soul. It is time that I should at last pass from this miserable life to the fruition of Thy glory.’ Just as she had finished these words, she tranquilly expired, and went to be united to God, to praise him and love him forever. This happened in 251. Her name is mentioned in the Canon of the Mass.”
Book of Leviticus 19,1-2.11-18. The LORD said to Moses, "Speak to the whole Israelite community and tell them: Be holy, for I, the LORD your God, am holy. "You shall not steal. You shall not lie or speak falsely to one another. You shall not swear falsely by my name, thus profaning the name of your God. I am the LORD. "You shall not defraud or rob your neighbor. You shall not withhold overnight the wages of your day laborer. You shall not curse the deaf, or put a stumbling block in front of the blind, but you shall fear your God. I am the LORD. "You shall not act dishonestly in rendering judgment. Show neither partiality to the weak nor deference to the mighty, but judge your fellow men justly. You shall not go about spreading slander among your kinsmen; nor shall you stand by idly when your neighbor's life is at stake. I am the LORD. "You shall not bear hatred for your brother in your heart. Though you may have to reprove your fellow man, do not incur sin because of him. Take no revenge …More

On February 5, Leo XIV received priests and monks representing the Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian, Eritrean, Malankara, and Syriac schismatic groups, which he referred to as "churches." Catholics believe that Jesus Christ founded one church. Pope Leo XIV said: "Dear friends, the historic and cultural differences among our churches represent a wonderful mosaic of our shared Christian heritage, which we can all appreciate." He wants "to support each other so that we may grow in our shared faith in Christ." "When we remove the prejudices within ourselves and open our hearts, we grow in charity, work more closely together, and strengthen our bonds of unity in Christ."

According to church tradition, the Apostle Matthew primarily preached in Judea before traveling to establish churches in Ethiopia (likely near the Caspian Sea), Persia, and Macedonia. He is considered a founder of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and is believed to have converted many, establishing early Christian communities in these regions. Apostle Mark (the Evangelist) is primarily revered for founding the Church of Alexandria in Egypt around 49 A.D., which became the foundation for the Coptic Orthodox Church. He also established the School of Alexandria, ordained the first bishop (Anianos) and clergy in Egypt, and preached throughout the Pentapolis, Judea, Asia Minor, and Rome.

Dear Melbourne and Australian Catholics, we must now speak up against this as the current parishes I've visited are (not all but some) already lukewarm, homilies are weak, immodest wearing of clothes, etc, etc is possibly leading souls to Hell; this Synod will be the final nail in the coffin. I'll be contacting the Archbishop of Melbourne and various priests the grave/mortal dangers that will come about from this Synod in the Archdiocese of Melbourne and Australia. Australian Catholics, you need to make sure the that the True Magisterial Teachings are not lost in your Catholic parish where God has put you for a reason and souls will depend on your Knowledge, Gospel Love and Fortitude.

Preparations are underway for an Archdiocesan Synod, with three key themes to form the focus of the 2026 gathering: young discipleship, missionary leadership, and formation and participation. In a letter addressed the faithful, Archbishop Peter A Comensoli called the synod ‘an important moment in the life of our local Church in Melbourne’. ‘This Jubilee Year of Hope has been a time of great grace for us,’ the Archbishop wrote. ‘Throughout the year, I have been meeting with clergy and lay leaders, listening to them, and discerning with them as to how the Archdiocese of Melbourne might respond to the call to hold an Archdiocesan Synod.’ ‘From this time of prayer, grace and reflection, I now wish to share that I have initiated preparations for a Synod to be held in the Archdiocese of Melbourne in 2026.’ Next year’s synod has been part of ‘an unfolding journey’, Archbishop Comensoli explained, with Australia hosting the Fifth Plenary Council from 2021 to 2022, which he said ‘arose …

Cardinal Sarah expressed “deep concern and profound sorrow upon learning of the announcement by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X that it intends to proceed with episcopal ordinations without a pontifical mandate.” He wrote on LeJdD.fr that the decision would disobey the law of the Church. “We are told that this decision is motivated by the supreme law of the salvation of souls. But salvation is Christ, and He gives Himself only in the Church.” Cardinal Sarah warned that the ordinations could be “an irreversible rupture”: “How many souls risk being lost because of this new rupture?” “We are told that this act aims to defend Tradition and the faith. I know how much the deposit of faith is today sometimes despised by those who themselves have the mission to defend it.” His objection: “Faith can never lead us to renounce obedience to the Church.” “How can we continue to tear apart His Body under the pretext of saving souls?” Cardinal Sarah acknowledged that within the Church …More
If there is to be true harmony in the church my solution would be that Leo XIV would issue the mandate to allow bishops from society. How many souls would be saved if this happens? Many, many souls dedicated to Tradition. The Pope would truly be Head of The Roman Catholic Church.

Julian Assange: “ISIS is funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

In fact during her tenure as Secretary of State total arms exports from the United States in terms of the dollar value doubled…” In other words, during Hillary Clinton’s time as Secretary of Bribery, the Obama’s State Department approved massive arms sales particularly to Saudi Arabia. The result was the rise of terrorist groups like ISIS, funded largely by the very people who were bribing the Clinton Foundation. In short, the death, the beheadings, and the …More
