“God did it”: Austin Applebee, 13, swam for nearly four hours in the open ocean off the coast of Western Australia to get help for his mother and two younger siblings, who had been swept out to sea while kayaking and paddleboarding. Battling strong currents and freezing water, he swam far beyond what most trained adults could endure. He says that he prayed constantly until he reached the shore: "I don't think it was actually me swimming... It was God the whole time. I kept praying, I kept praying. I told God I would get baptised."

"May every human entity realize from now on, once and for all, that it is and exists in this world to live, for eternity, in the Holiness of God Himself. In the Holiness desired for all of us, which is that of God, one and triune. The Holiness of Christ and of His Most Holy Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, are for each of us, their beloved children. We are called to this Holiness. Destined to live it here below and in Heaven, for eternity. Invited also to know Science and through it the universe and all that is. Invited to practice the crafts, to exercise the creative and useful work of the artisan, to create works that please God and beautify the Earth. We are here for God, to dedicate our lives to Him. To give Him everything, our work, our families, our homelands, so that He may bless them and keep them forever. Even today, the urgency of this return to God and his divine anthropology is great. Because the time has come. Because the times are fulfilled. Those offered to us to convert …ད་རུང་།

Prevost should meet with Trump and EU to condemn this genocide. He won't because all he cares about is Synodality and welcoming perverts into the Church.

EPSTEIN’S EX-CELLMATE CLAIMS ADMIN LEFT HIM EXPOSED TO VIOLENCE ON PURPOSE Nicholas Tartaglione, a quadruple murderer and former police officer, filed a pardon/commutation petition last summer in which he claimed that Epstein was deliberately exposed to violence in the hope that he would not survive long enough to stand trial. Prior to Epstein’s death on Aug. 10, 2019, which officials ruled a suicide, jail bosses decided that America’s most high-profile prisoner should share a cell with an accused mass murderer for reasons that have never been explained. Tartaglione had a reputation for extreme violence and a self-confessed hatred of child sex offenders.

In a 21-page petition obtained by the Daily Beast, Tartagloine says …ད་རུང་།
