Hl. Margareta von Cortona - Gedenktag: am 22. Februar Terziarin, Mystikerin * um 1247 in Laviano bei Salerno in Italien † 22. Februar 1297 bei Cortona in Italien Margareta war das Kind frommer, einfacher Leute. Als sie sieben Jahre alt war starb ihre Mutter, mit der Stiefmutter kam sie nicht zurecht. Im Alter von 16 bis 25 Jahren lebte sie mit einem Adligen in einer Liebesbeziehung ohne mit ihm die Ehe einzugehen, führte ein luxuriöses Leben und gebar einen Sohn. Die frommen Wurzeln, die ihre Mutter in sie gelegt hatte, blieben aber lebendig; sie berichtete von jener Zeit als einer der Sünde und Schande und, dass sie damals schon Mitleid mit den Armen hatte. Aus dem Leben im Luxus löste sie sich, als ihr Liebhaber ermordet aufgefunden wurde: sein Hund führte Margareta zu dem seit Tagen verschwundenen Leichnam, der Anblick des schon Verwesenden bewirkte ihre Bekehrung. Bereit, ein neues Leben anzufangen, wollte Margareta in ihr Elternhaus zurückkehren, aber der Vater, aufgehetzt von …More

...OF THE OUTSTRETCHED HAND (source: doncurzionitoglia.wordpress.com) Getting out of the "ghetto"? Some theorist/conservative Catholics, in order to escape the "ghetto" into which modernity has placed them, are accepting—inadvertently, slowly, and practically—if not the ideas, then at least the ways of acting of the Judaizers/Americanists ("forced COVID vaccination," anti-Putinism, pro-Zionism even after Gaza 2024/26, pro-Trumpism and anti-Iranianism, etc.). Unnoticed Theological Transshipment In short, we are witnessing an unnoticed theological transshipment toward Americanism, especially after the "Trump tornado," who is seen as the "new Saint Benedict (post-Ratzinger, Benedict XVI)," the restorer of neo-Christianity, stretching from the Atlantic to Israel.
