[Saint John of the Cross – XVI Century AD; born: Fontiveros, Crown of Castile, Spanish Monarchy/died: Ubeda, Crown of Castile, Spanish Monarchy; (Aged 49); Priest, Mystic, Writer, Doctor of the Church]
“BOOK THE FIRST:
Wherein is described the nature of dark night and how necessary it is to pass through it to Divine union; and in particular this book describes the dark night of sense, and desire, and the evils which these work in the soul.
Chapter III ~ Speaks of the first cause of this night, which is that of the privation of the desire in all things, and gives the reason for which it is called night.
WE here describe as night the privation of every kind of pleasure which belongs to the desire;
for, even as night is naught but the privation of light, and, consequently, of all objects that can be seen by means of light, whereby the visual faculty remains unoccupied and in darkness, even so likewise the mortification of desire may be called night to the soul. For, when the soul is deprived …More

Keep in mind that this technology is becoming increasingly sophisticated!
Project Blue Beam is a theory proposed by Canadian researcher Serge Monast, claiming that NASA, the United Nations (UN), and a group of global elites are planning to establish a New World Order through a holographic simulation of a fake alien invasion or the return of religious figures.

Converted mother goes to court for reading the Bible to her daughter.

A Maine mother has been ordered by a court to stop reading the Bible to her daughter in her own home. Emily Bickford, a Christian mother, has been embroiled in a long-running custody dispute over the religious upbringing of her daughter, Ava. After becoming a Christian several years after Ava's birth, Bickford began taking her to church and teaching her the faith. The dispute intensified after Ava expressed interest in being baptized. A December 2024 court order restricted Bickford's ability to bring Ava to her church and gave the child's father significant authority over decisions concerning religious upbringing and medical care. Most notably, the order prohibits Bickford from reading the Bible to her daughter in her own home, a direct infringement on her religious freedom. Despite the restrictions, Ava continues to independently read the Bible and maintain her faith. Bickford plans to petition the U.S. Supreme Court with the help of Liberty Counsel. She continues to pray for Ava's …More

“BOOK THE FIRST ~ Which treats of the Night of Sense
STANZA THE FIRST:
On a dark night, Kindled in love with yearnings
—oh, happy chance!—
I went forth without being observed,
My house being now at rest.
CHAPTER II ~ Of certain spiritual imperfections which beginners have with respect to the habit of pride.
5. Some of these beginners, too, make little of their faults,
and at other times become over-sad when they see themselves fall into them, thinking themselves to have been saints already; and thus they become angry and impatient with themselves, which is another imperfection. Often they beseech God, with great yearnings, that He will take from them their imperfections and faults, but they do this that they may find themselves at peace, and may not be troubled by them, rather than for …More

healingheartofjesus.com/…ads/2022/06/Our-Lady-of-…
Our Lady of Tears presents us with an image of the Blessed Mother,
and an opportunity to transform our own tears into prayer.
It all started on November 8, 1929, in Campinas, Brazil. Sister Amalia, of the Institute of the Missionaries of the Scourged Jesus, felt pangs of sorrow for a mother in her life. She had just met with a male relative who was in great distress. His wife, seriously ill, had been diagnosed by several doctors as incurable.
He came to Sister Amalia, because he didn’t know where else to turn, he didn’t know what to do, and he didn’t know what God expected of him. His children would be left motherless, and he couldn’t bear the thought of being without his wife.
Sister Amalia, pained at her relative’s grief and the thought of the sorrow facing …More

The Message of Puebla: Notes and Comments – III

– Folha de S. Paulo, April 14, 1979 –
by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
The Church’s Mission on Earth
Commenting on John Paul II’s address at the opening of the Puebla Conference, I have so far dealt with the essentially religious part of the message. I now turn to the section on earthly society.
This division of themes strictly follows the structure of part 1 of the pontifical text, which is divided into three main sections titled “The Truth About Jesus Christ,” “The Truth About the Mission of the Church,” and “The Truth About Man.”
In the order of presentation, John Paul II gives primacy to “The Truth About Jesus Christ” because it is infinitely more important. “The Truth About the Mission of the Church” follows, and then “The Truth About Man,” which can be focused appropriately only when presented in the light of “The Truth About Jesus Christ,” another reason for it to take precedence.
From the “Truth about Jesus Christ” in the foreground, teachings concerning the Church, the spiritual …More

Why does anyone pay attention to these gents who call themselves Pope when anyone who becomes so called Pope can change anything his predecessor says?
The whole thing is silliness. There is no permanence whatsoever among these fools when anyone can say what ever he wants. Pius V says Latin is the unalterable language of the sacred liturgy 500 years later some obese gent says no that is not true.
Wake up.

Your Vocation Is The Path To Sainthood
St. Paul advises the Corinthians on marriage and virginity, emphasizing that both are valid vocations leading to sainthood. The key is to discern God’s will through prayer, seeking detachment and clarity about one’s calling. Fulfillment comes from living in one’s true vocation, even amidst struggles, while living outside of it may lead to a sense of longing and incompleteness.

They wrote it down, entered it into federal court, and still somehow expect us to pretend this is just “diversity.” Brigitte Gabriel is holding in her hand the Muslim Brotherhood’s 100 year plan to infiltrate and destroy America from within written in May 22, 1991. “This plan was presented as evidence in the Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest terrorism trial ever in the history of the United States where our government handed down 108 guilty verdicts for Muslim-Americans and Muslim-American foundations raising money to support terrorist organizations in the Middle East to the tune of millions.”
A paragraph from the plan: “Understanding the role of the Muslim brother in North America. The process of settlement is a civilization Jihadist process with all the words mean. Brothers must understand that their work in America is a kind of brand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house …More
