March 24 - Saint Gabriel One of the Seven Spirits who stand before the throne of God, Saint Gabriel is especially dear to us as the Angel of the Incarnation. In the Old Testament he was sent to Daniel to announce the return of the Jews from captivity. In the Hebrew tradition Gabriel was the guardian of the celestial treasury. He is said to have foretold the birth of Samson, and also to have announced to Joachim the birth of the Immaculate Virgin Mary. But the New Testament plainly declares that Gabriel was sent to the high priest Zacharias to make known to him the approaching birth of Saint John the Baptist; and six months later (on the authority of the same Inspired Word) “the Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary, and she conceived of the Holy Ghost.” Gabriel is supposed by some to have been the guardian angel of the Mother of God. Spirit of might! O Gabriel, display Thy matchless power against our ancient foes; Visit those sacred temples where we pray; ‘Twas at thy potent word those …More

Today, the Synod study group of African bishops (SECAM) published its final document on polygamy (below). The text firmly reiterates the Church’s teaching that marriage is monogamous by nature - one man and one woman. This is not a cultural construct, but is rooted in creation (Genesis), Christ’s teachings (Matthew 19) and the sacramental nature of marriage itself. Summary of the document: Polygamy is incompatible with sacramental marriage, contradicts the equal dignity of men and women, and cannot represent the unity between Christ and the Church. Clear Also At The Practical Level Furthermore, the document is clear that polygamists are not admitted to the sacraments. No one may be baptised while remaining in a polygamous union. There is no allowance for baptism based on promises of future change — conversion must be genuine and take place beforehand. In certain cases, the first wife may be baptised, especially if she is not responsible for the polygamy. Polygamous unions are not …More
Egypt Today Magazine Egypt will impose earlier closing hours for shops, malls and restaurants for a month and is considering partial remote work for government employees, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said on Wednesday. The measures aim to reduce energy consumption, Madbouly said, amid the ongoing military escalation in the region. The US-Israeli war in Iran and the retaliatory Iranian strikes across the region since February 28 have disrupted energy flows, driven up oil and gas prices, and heightened instability in the Middle East. “We are facing a truly exceptional global crisis, and its repercussions will be severe for the entire world,” Madbouly said in a press conference after the weekly Cabinet meeting on Wednesday. He said Egypt’s natural gas import bill more than doubled from $560 million per month before the war to $1.65 billion currently. Rationalization Plan Madbouly announced that all shops, malls and restaurants will close at 9 pm, except on Thursdays and Fridays when …More
Come on! The whole mess didn't start in 1979 but in 1953 already, with the CIA and MI6-orchestrated operation that toppled Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh. As you sow, so shall you reap.
From Wisdom 2: 12-24, we find a great reflection for Lent and Easter and the world crisis we presently face. Let us lay traps for the upright man, since he annoys us and opposes our way of life, reproaches us for our sins against the Law, and accuses us of sins against our upbringing. He claims to have knowledge of God, and calls himself a child of the Lord. We see him as a reproof to our way of thinking, the very sight of him weighs our spirits down; for his kind of life is not like other people's, and his ways are quite different. In his opinion we are counterfeit; he avoids our ways as he would filth; he proclaims the final end of the upright as blessed and boasts of having God for his father. Let us see if what he says is true, and test him to see what sort of end he will have. For if the upright man is God's son, God will help him and rescue him from the clutches of his enemies. Let us test him with cruelty and with torture, and thus explore this gentleness of his and put his …

Not to do so would be un-Christian. Christ desires to unite himself with humanity, so that the light he brings from God might become life for nations and individuals. I know many are shocked by this preaching and want to accuse us of forsaking the gospel for politics. But I reject this accusation. I am trying to bring to life the message of the Second Vatican Council and the meetings at Medellin and Puebla. The documents from these meetings should not just be studied theoretically. They should be brought to life …More
Saint Oscar Romero and sermon Excerpts from March 23, 1980 (Movie: Romero) 24 March - Saint Oscar Romero, Cardinal Early life Oscar Romero was born into a large family on August 15, 1917, in El Salvador. Although they had more money than many of their neighbors, Oscar’s family had neither electricity nor running water in their small home, and the children slept on the floor. Oscar’s parents could not afford to send him to school after the age of 12, so he went to work as an apprentice carpenter. He quickly showed great skill, but Oscar was already determined to become a priest. He entered the seminary at the age of 14 and was ordained a priest when he was 25 in 1942. Recognising the power of radio to reach the people, he convinced five radio stations to broadcast his Sunday sermons to peasant farmers who believed they were unwelcome in the churches. In 1970, he became Auxiliary Bishop in San Salvador. In 1974, he became Bishop of Santiago de Maria. At this time, Oscar Romero was described …More
Lazarus Peter Kalamation.com On Sunday, March 23rd, 1980, Archbishop Oscar Romero preached his own death sentence. In a homily broadcast nationwide, Romero implored the military with the following words, “Thou shalt not kill! No soldier is obliged to obey an order against the law of God … in the name of this suffering people, whose laments rise to heaven each day more tumultuous, I beg you, I beseech you, I order you in the name of God, stop the repression.” The next day while doing Mass at a Hospital chapel near his humble San Salvador home, a gunman took Oscar Romero’s life as he was preparing the altar after preaching his final homily. That was March 24th, 1980. Romero predicted his own death, saying, “If they kill me, I will arise in the Salvadoran people.” This year on March 24th, we had the honor to be in El Salvador co-leading Maryknoll missionaries to celebrate the first official Feast Day of St. Oscar Romero, Bishop and Martyr. Last October, Oscar Romero was officially …More

Whiplash347 @Whiplash437 "WE WERE ORDERED TO TURN BACK. I KEPT FILMING." This 4K footage was recovered from a corrupted hard drive. Flight 702 was diverted off-course near the South Pole due to "magnetic interference." What the pilot saw changes everything: The Ice Wall isn't natural. It’s a CAMOUFLAGE. Thermal scans confirm +25°C tropical zones hidden behind the glaciers. Look at the Silver Dome — that is NOT a research station. It’s a hidden city. In 1947, Admiral Byrd warned us about "The Land Beyond The Pole." They called him crazy. This video proof confirms he was telling the truth. x.com/Whiplash437/status/2035939822150594708
