On Holy Thursday, Leo XIV washed and kissed the feet of 12 priests in the Lateran Basilica. In his homily, he remembered his predecessor: "As Pope Francis once remarked: 'This is a duty that comes from the heart. I love it. I love it and I love doing it, because that is what the Lord has taught me to do.' He was not speaking of an abstract imperative or a formal, empty command, but rather expressing his heartfelt obedience to the charity of Christ, the source and model of our own charity."
Il Giovedì Santo, Papa Leone XIV lava i piedi a 12 sacerdoti.
I recall the article from the now defunct satire website, The Eye of the Tiber, from a few years ago: "According to the Catholic Information Service, those 12 included one woman, a Muslim, a pet ferret named Wilbur, and a double amputee."
The Jews conspire against Christ. He is anointed by Mary. The treason of Judas. The last supper. The prayer in the garden. The apprehension of our Lord. His treatment in the house of Caiphas. Douay-Rheims Bible, Matthew Chapter 26
Let us note that this Sacrament (Holy Eucharist) has a threefold meaning: (i) In regard to the past (ii) In regard to a fact of our own time (iii) In regard to the future — St. Thomas Aquinas
It's Time to give up the sinful life; we can die unexpectedly at any moment and front up to our Particular Judgement before God Almighty especially with current Events around the world and more Tribulations to arrive!

Watch till the end. ( 8:42 seconds or less)l. A Christian civilian. Killed by a foreign strike near his home. Buried by his Muslim neighbors. This is the Iran they don't show you. In a country the world calls divided by religion, Muslims carried their Christian brother to his final rest. Not because of politics. Not because of propaganda. Because that is who they are. We filmed his memorial service—the grief, the unity, the shared humanity. This video is not about war. It is about what survives war: faith, dignity, and the bonds that no bomb can break. Watch. Share. Remember his name: *"Avanes"* IRAN War: When Muslims Wept for a Christian
“Looks like another fake shooting to me!” —Jeffrey Ade @Jeffrey Ade Would to God it were “fake” my dear brother Jeffrey, then those precious children who were slaughtered yesterday while sitting in the House of God at Mass would still be alive and with their families and those who loved and cherished them. But alas, it is very real….painfully, tragically, unspeakably real. Of that, there can be no doubt nor debate. The smothering darkness spawned from hell itself that was manifested there in Minneapolis cannot be denied nor written off flippantly as just some misbegotten conspiracy theory, as we have seen vile, lying, loud-mouthed self-aggrandizers such as Alex Jones shamelessly and falsely allege regarding other episodes of mass-murder of children. No, you mustn’t fall into that trap of diabolical deceit and delusion, and in so doing, offensively disparage the plight of the families and cheapen the lives lost and the blood that was shed by both the dead and the wounded. There can …Zwiṅwe
The sad part of this, is that those children will not receive prayers they need. All because of the conspiracy theorist who love to confound the mind and brainwash the people. The children and family are the ones to lose out. While the conspiracy theorists walk away laughing thinking we were duped and nothing happened to those children. The won't believe until GOD forbid it will happen to them. That's always the way it works.
I find sympathy and closeness to the poor and oppressed by obeying our lady of Fatima's request in praying the Rosary every day for the conversion of poor sinners and the consecration of Russia to the immaculate heart of Mary. I simply do not believe everything the mass media puts out. God bless you!
[Saint Albert the Great – Albertus Magnus – XIII Century AD; Duchy of Bavaria/Cologne, Holy Roman Empire; (Aged ca 80); German Dominican friar, philosopher, scientist, and bishop; one of the greatest medieval philosophers and thinkers; Doctor of the Church] “Chapter 7 ~ How the heart should be gathered within itself What is more, as is said in the book On the Spirit and the Soul (of St. Augustine), to ascend to God means to enter into oneself. He who entering within and penetrating his inmost nature, goes beyond himself, he is truly ascending to God. So let us withdraw our hearts from the distractions of this world, and recall them to the inner joys, so that we can establish them to some degree in the light of divine contemplation. For this is the life and peace of our hearts - to be established by intent in the love of God and to be sweetly remade by his comforting. But the reason why we are in so many ways hindered in the practical enjoyment of this matter and are unable to get into …Zwiṅwe
"It is therefore right and necessary for the mind to raise itself above itself and everything created by the abandonment of everything, with humble reverence and great trust, and to say within itself, He whom I seek, love, thirst for and desire from everything and more than anything is not a thing of the senses or the imagination, but is above everything that can be experienced by the senses and the intellect. He cannot be experienced by any of the senses, but is completely desirable to my will. He is moreover not discernable, but is perfectly desirable to my inner affections. He cannot be comprehended, but can be loved in his fullness with a pure heart, for he is above all lovable and desirable, and of infinite goodness and perfection."
Marxist idolater apostate Robert Prevost: "It is the way of the Incarnation, which always takes the form of inculturation. Salvation, in fact, can only be received by each person through his or her native language. “How is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language?” ( Acts 2:8). "
Canadian Miriam Lancaster, 84, went to a hospital in Vancouver late March with severe back pain. She told EWTN that before any tests or diagnosis, a doctor offered assisted suicide: “The very first thing she said to me was: ‘I would like to offer you MAiD.’” She had come for treatment and responded: “No, thank you.” Lancaster added that her husband had previously been told the same and had replied: “There is no way that we are going to take measures to end our life. That is in the hands of the Lord.” A few years later she gave the same response.
When Miriam Lancaster went to the hospital for severe back pain, she was stunned to be offered euthanasia instead of real care. In this conversation, she shares how that moment exposed a terrifying shift in our culture: suffering patients are being treated as problems to “solve,” not persons to love. She says, her husband had also been offered assisted su*cide a few years earlier as well. From a Catholic perspective, Miriam’s story is a stark reminder that every life—especially when it’s fragile, disabled, or in pain—is precious, unrepeatable, and entrusted to us by God, not the state or the medical system. Her witness challenges us to build a society that offers compassion, accompaniment, and authentic palliative care, never a lethal injection disguised as “dignity.”
In the first video, I have no idea which country they came from. But I did see what he said from the people in Iran when an American was given food free to him because they said, he was their guest in their country. Then he invited they American to their home for dinner.

Typically, the Roman spolia found in England’s churches is thin red bricks - made by the Romans and reused by later Saxon and Norman builders. However, nowhere else have I found such a magnificent example - an entire archway! Escomb is truly a hidden gem. This is one of England’s oldest buildings and has hardly changed since it was first built back in the 7th century. It deserve the title of “ancient” because not only was it built by the Saxons deep in the mists of the so called dark ages, but it’s also built from literally ancient materials, the stone carved by the workers of the ancient Roman Empire. Also, please let me know if you prefer videos like this where I do the video in one take, with no b-roll footage ? | Great British Architecture Have you ever seen spolia like this?
