Chapter V ~ On Charity to Sinners [Whoso shall cause one of these little ones which believe on Me to stumble, it is profitable for him that a great millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depth of the sea. —St. Matt. xviii. 6 (R.V.). Deal not roughly with him that is tempted; but give him comfort, as thou wouldest wish to be done to thyself. —The Imitation of Christ, i. 13.] I ~ The example of St. Antony, showing how he valued a sinner who repented. It happened that a certain brother in the community of the abbot Elias fell into sin. The brethren expelled him from the monastery and he fled to St. Antony who then dwelt on the inner mountain. The saint kept him there some time and then sent him back to the monastery from which he had been cast out. The brethren, when they saw him, immediately drove him forth again. Then, as at first, he fled to St. Antony, and said to him, "My father, they will not receive me." Then the saint was grieved, and sent to …More
"II ~ How the abbot Besarion desired to share the reproach of the Lord, of whom they said, "He eateth with publicans and sinners." A certain brother had sinned, and the priest ordered him to go out of the church and depart from the company of the brethren. Then the abbot Besarion arose and went out along with him, saying, "I also am a sinner."
– Folha de S. Paulo, February 6, 1978 – by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira This article is not strictly about human rights but about a particular psychology (or rather, a psychosis) that Carter has been promoting internationally with great fanfare. Of course, I will not address the whiny or festive support — depending on the mood of the various circles — that this campaign receives in leftist circles. Since leftism is the great beneficiary of the worldwide “Carterian” wave favoring subversives and terrorists, it is perfectly normal that the entire left should be sympathetic to it. What particularly attracts my attention, however, is that countless non-leftists take an illogical stance on this issue, which I will discuss next. By non-leftist, I mean here especially the bourgeois, large, medium, or small, perfectly jealous of his individual interests, and who follows with a hurried and vague gaze the news concerning trifles that lie outside that circle. Does he have religious or political …More
Where Jesus Is, His Servant Follows The gospel reading emphasizes that where Jesus is, his servant will also be. To be with Jesus, we must be willing to do the “little things” and die to ourselves, putting Jesus’ needs before our own. This means embracing the cross and suffering in this world, as Jesus did, to attain eternal life and glory with him in heaven. Fr.

Ice Age Farmer So Trump comes out and declares the strait is open again — completely made up, and who even believes him at this point? But "belief" is not the point. The headlines go out, and the high-frequency algorithmic trading pushes the oil prices back down. These markets have been completely manipulated by their statements: 1. Not just to make billions through insider trading 2. Not just to push people into confusion and learned helplessness 3. But to absolutely prevent any natural demand destruction ... meaning, usually if the world is running out of something, the price rises. That's the most basic supply/demand concept. It's been undermined by this cycle of nonsense announcements and manipulated markets — and this is GUARANTEEING that we are going into an absolutely worst-case "hard landing" scenario: the engineered energy crisis that will require fuel rationing and cause massive inflation across commodities, transportation, cost of living...everything. The economy CANNOT …More
The Golden Arrow May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most mysterious and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified, in heaven, on earth and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the most holy Sacrament of the altar. The Golden Arrow was revealed by Our Lord Jesus Christ to a Carmelite nun of Tours in 1843 as a reparation for blasphemy. The sin of blasphemy was said to be a 'poisoned arrow' more grievous than all other sins. It follows that this prayer would most especially be appropriate after hearing the Holy Name blasphemed, and in reparation for such blasphemy generally. Jesus said: 'This Golden Arrow will wound My Heart delightfully, and heal the wounds inflicted by blasphemy. The Heavenly Banquet ~ from a text attributed to St. Brigid of Ireland (10th century) I would like to have the men of Heaven in my own house; with vats of good cheer laid out for them. I would like to …More
"To Jesus My Friend ~ by St. Claude de la Colombiere Jesus! You are my true Friend, my only Friend. You take a part in all my misfortunes; You take them on Yourself; You know how to change them into blessings; You listen to me with the greatest kindness when I relate my troubles to You, and You have always balm to pour on my wounds."

Can You Say, Thy Will Be Done? The reading from Ezekiel highlights the need for purification within the church and ourselves. It emphasizes the importance of following God’s commandments and being willing to do His will, even when it is difficult or requires sacrifice. Fr. Altier urges us to examine our prayer life, moral life, and willingness to conform to God’s will, especially in challenging times. Fr.

Italian Diocese Expands Women’s Roles in Church Administration. Worse than Germany: The Italian Diocese of Trapani, is increasingly appointing laypeople - including women - to formal Curia and diocesan roles as the number of priests declines. The diocese now has fewer than 100 diocesan priests and is bringing in priests from Madagascar, Tanzania, and religious institutes to fill parish vacancies. Among the most significant appointments, lawyer Susanna Catalano has been named the diocese’s second vice-chancellor. Four lay Catholics will receive the instituted ministry of catechist, including two women, Francesca Messina and Caterina Vesco.

In Lungo’s case, it seems likely that some at least will take this same line in response to his apparent Freemasonry. But for the Vatican, the case is — or should be — much more acute, since it involves the wholesale moral condemnation by the Church of a legal category of persons.
