Prepare Your Soul Before Trials Intensify The world’s current state, marked by unprecedented events, false prophets, and declining morality, is seen as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. The church’s focus on social issues over the salvation of souls has led to a lack of understanding and reverence for the Eucharist among Catholics, causing many to seek truth elsewhere, often being misled by false teachings and a selfish society. As the world worsens, people must choose between living for heaven or hell. This is not the end, but a prefiguration of what’s to come. We are urged to reject lies, maintain charity, and prioritize our relationship with Jesus. Doing so can bring peace amidst chaos and unite us with the Lord. Fr.

'The thing I find utterly strange is how embarrassed our church leaders are to even talk about Christianity.' Writer Andy Jones reacts to the Archbishop of Canterbury withdrawing an award given to an Islamic cleric who praised Osama bin Laden.
Protestantism leads to atheism, so said E Michael Jones, and I totally agree with him. He mentioned another religion, but I will leave that up to the reader.
FBI targeted traditional minded priests and laity. (Here) In July 5 FBI employees were fired over the illegal surveillance. NOW, to be totally honest, despite shocking what they did, me in particular, I was happy the tried, not because I knew there wasn’t anything there, BUT i was happy because whosoever did the infiltration was going to converted once they saw the truth and beauty of tradition.
"The august Mary and St. Joseph were confirmed by this divine voice in the wisdom that should guide their actions in all the services which they were to render to the Infant God. They resolved to practise the most sublime and perfect mode of honoring their true God, and never among mere creatures was He so perfectly honored. But before the eyes of the world they treated Him as if they were conjointly His parents, because it was the Lord’s will that men should so believe. The celestial inhabitants were in admiration of the conduct of the holy: spouses as we shall relate further on. They resolved also to devote to the Infant God all the services which their condition admitted, without attracting observation, so that the secret of the great King should be concealed; neither should he want for anything, for, in ministering to Him, they could manifest their ardent love so far as it was possible."

THE Mother of the eternal Word, the holy Mary, seeing the period of the birth of the Infant God approach, would not undertake to make the necessary preparations for it, with- out the commands of her husband, and the will of God. Although she was able to decide for herself in whatever concerned the maternal office, she preferred to practice the duties of an obedient and most faithful servant. She therefore consulted her holy spouse, St. Joseph. “ It is time,” she said, “ to begin the preparations for the birth of my most blessed Son.

Leo XIV Signs New Defense of Religious Pluralism… But What Happened to Catholicism? [remnantnewspaper] By: Robert Morrison In a new document marking sixty years of Nostra Aetate, Leo XIV and three Vatican dicasteries defend interreligious dialogue, religious pluralism, and a “fraternal society capable of accepting differences.” But hold on... Can Catholicism affirm that Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life while simultaneously treating religious pluralism as a positive goal? The Vatican’s own language increasingly makes the theological problem with Vatican II impossible to ignore. On September 16, Leo XIV added his signature to a document produced by the Dicasteries for the Doctrine of the Faith, for the Promotion of Christian Unity, and for Interreligious Dialogue: “A Journey of Hope: Sixty Years of Interreligious Dialogue and Fraternity in the Light of the Conciliar Declaration Nostra Aetate.” The sixty-paragraph document outlines the history of Vatican II’s Nostra Aetate and …More
9 Days Novena Prayer to Mary Undoer of Knots Novena Begins: September 19 Feast Day: September 28 Patron Saint of knots, difficult problems About Mary, Undoer of Knots Early in the sixteenth century, Hieronymus Ambrosius Langenmantel commissioned the painting of Mary, Undoer or Untier of knots for St. Peter am Perlach Church in Augsburg, Germany. The artist, Johann Georg Melchior Schmidtner, was inspired by the story of the man’s grandfather, Wolfgang Langenmantel, a German nobleman, and his wife Sophie. The couple’s lives were falling apart and they were on the verge of separation. In an effort to save their marriage, Wolfgang decided to get advice from a Jesuit priest, Father Rem, who lived in a monastery near Augsburg, Germany. They prayed together, raising up to Our Lady “the bond of marriage,” praying that “all knots be loosed and resolved.” After several meetings and many prayers to Our Lady, Wolfgang and Sophie reunited. The painting portrays Mary dressed in a blue mantle, with …More

Virgin Mary, Mother of fair love, Mother who never refuses to come to the aid of a child in need, Mother whose hands never cease to serve your beloved children because they are moved by the divine love and immense mercy that exist in your heart: cast your compassionate eyes upon me and see the snarl of knots that exists in my life.
