Brian Williams on Twitter: Meanwhile in Charlotte, Bishop Martin delegated the washing of feet on Holy Thursday to lay men and women. +Martin did participate to some degree, but at this Jesuit parish where he chose to celebrate Holy Thursday, the laity assumed the role of the clergy for much of the (optional) mandatum.
2014 में, फादर जोसफ इलो सैन कैलिफोर्निया के सं फ्रांसिस्को के "स्टार ऑफ़ द सी" पारिश के प्रशासक बने। तब से, जन प्रार्थना उपस्थिति और पारिशवासियो की संख्या में प्रतिवर्ष 20 प्रतिशत की बढ़ोत्तरी हुई है। cruxnow.com के अनुसार पारिशो की समृद्धि का कारण "कैथोलिक परम्पराओ" की शक्तिशाली प्रतिबद्धता" है।प्रार्थना अंग्रेजी और लैटिन में की जाती है और ग्रेगोरियन मंत्र और पॉलीफोनी की सुविधा देती है। कम्युनियन को कम्युनियन रेल पर वितरित किया जाता है लेंट में, प्रार्थना "विज्ञापन उन्मुख" किया जाता है और एक दैनिक पारंपरिक लैटिन प्रार्थना भी की जाती है। तीन परिश्वासी प्रधान पादरी के छेत्रधिकार के सेमिनरी में प्रवेश कर गए और चौथे डोमिनिकन में शामिल हो गए । चित्र: Star of the Sea Parish, #newsVbjfbicgac
Zu Ostern möchte ich Euch dieses Video empfehlen – es enthält atemberaubende Informationen über Jesus Christus und Sein Grabtuch, eines der größten Wunder der Kirchengeschichte: Creation and Miracles - Condensed Version Creation and Miracles – Condensed Version The Shroud of Turin - Proof of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ Das Turiner Grabtuch beweist, dass Jesus Christus gelebt hat, gestorben und auferstanden ist: dass Er nicht nur ein wahrer Mensch, sondern auch wahrer Gott ist. Er ist eine der drei göttlichen Personen der Allerheiligsten Dreifaltigkeit. Das Grabtuch von Turin beweist auch, dass katholische Reliquien wundertätig sind, und dass der überlieferte katholische Glaube (ganz und unversehrt) die einzig wahre Religion ist und dass es für das ewige Heil absolut notwendig ist, ihn zu befolgen und zu bekennen.
Why I never understood the Benedict resignation: "Our Apostles also knew, through our Lord Jesus Christ, that there would be contention over the bishop's office. So, for this cause, having received complete foreknowledge, they appointed the above mentioned men, and afterwards gave them a permanent character, so that, AS THEY DIED, other approved men should succeed to their ministry." Saint Clement, Bishop of Rome, Letter to the Corinthians, Chapter 44. First Century
The final criminal case against the Catholic pro-life investigator David Daleiden has been dismissed. This ends a nearly decade-long legal battle stemming from his undercover investigation into the abortion industry. Daleiden released in 2015 a series of undercover videos showing that officials connected to Planned Parenthood Federation of America sold body parts and fetal tissue of aborted babies. In 2016, the office of then–California Attorney General Kamala Harris (2011-2017) prosecuted Daleiden and his colleague Sandra Merritt related to illegal recording (invasion of privacy). She did not prosecute Planned Parenthood. Over time, more than half of the charges were dismissed by a judge. Instead of going to trial on the remaining charges, David Daleiden agreed in 2025 to the deal “no contest” (nolo contendere) . It allows a defendant to resolve a criminal case without admitting guilt while accepting the court’s judgment. The agreement included no jail time, fines, or probation, …अधिक
By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? McGovern thinks that Putin is trying to talk sense into trump. With Putin giving him the real cold Turkey saying, we can't let this go on so that Israel is destroyed and has no other option than to use nukes. It's always President Putin who tries to restore and make peace. This is why Russia is so Blessed. And why some hate the fact Putin was not involved in the epstein files as they had hoped. I lost count this year alone on how many times President Putin and Russia was rewarded for helping out others. No matter how much some try to make us hate Russia or Putin, the facts always speak louder than words. And they just can't handle that. By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Franciscan Father Francesco Patton wrote the meditations for tonight's Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum in Rome with Pope Leo XIV. Fr Patton served as Custos of the Holy Land from 2016 to 2025. On April 1, he told VaticanNews.va that the inspiration comes from "current reality" and that the meditations are meant to inspire political "change". The Vatican press office published the text today. Traditionally a penitential and contemplative devotion, the Via Crucis is repurposed here as a vehicle for contemporary socio-political reflection. The text shifts from the Passion of Christ to war, refugees, human trafficking, surveillance, deportation, the media, the economy, prisons, hostages, and crackdowns on protests. Notably absent, however, are abortion, euthanasia, and gender ideology. One acclamation reads: "For migrants, the displaced, and refugees: Comfort us, O Mother." In the first station, the meditation talks about political and economic power "to start or end a war… the power …अधिक
IRAN WAR: Bridges, Electric Power Plants Next /Lt Col Daniel Dav is & Robert Barnes How many times does he have to say it's all about the oil? Not only from him but from his administration. One former Military Officer even saying on live tv. We will go in and take anything we want. How sick and evil that is. Iran was no threat to anyone. including us. They say we are doing it to free the people of Iran. No one asked for his help. They don't need his help. Nor do they want it. Now they are all united and standing firm against two lying, evil beasts. And dragging us into their evil war with people who didn't want to harm anyone. People who live in peace with many other religions. Getting along and helping each other. Maybe that's what they hate about Iran. The same reason why they hate Russia!
Well the "ONLY" good thing coming out of this evil war against Iran is how I have watched trump get thrown off the pedestal he and his base put him on. Time and time again. Now the whole world knows we are far from the greatest and most powerful Military at all. Nor the wisest. So much for all he needs is 48 hours to do the job. In and out he said. And now over two months and getting worse every day. And no end in sight.
