Jan 2, 2926 Sts. Basil the Great & Gregory Nazianzen, Bishops & Doctors Brethren dearly beloved, Hear the voice of God, who is neither mocked nor deceived. Confusion is an abomination; rebellion is the mother of ruin. โOrder is the bond of peace, and confusion the mother of strife,โ saith St. Basil the Great. Where order falleth, there the soul falleth; where submission is rejected, there charity is wounded; where authority is despised, chaos reigneth, and sin goeth unrestrained. Yet the mercy of God remaineth, that those who repent may be restored. Marriage is a holy ordinance, ordained by God, and not a playground for desire. Within it, authority and obedience must be observed. St. Gregory Nazianzen declareth, โHe ruleth best who ruleth himself first.โ If the man governeth his passions, he governeth rightly; if the woman obeyeth in virtue, she preserveth the household in peace. When both submit to Godโs ordinance, the home becometh a sanctuary of order, charity, and grace. Man โฆMore
A Legal Precedent from 1506: When Cleverness Turns Against Itself Buried in the archives of early European literature is a story that still reads like a perfectly scripted courtroom drama. It took place in Frankfurt and was recorded by Johannes Pauli in his book Jest and Earnest. It began with a serious loss. A merchant traveling to a trade fair misplaced his walletโcontaining a staggering sum for the time: 800 gold coins. To put that into perspective, that amount could have bought twenty top-quality horses back then. The wallet was found by a local carpenter. Rather than tempt fate, he waited for word from the owner. Soon enough, an announcement spread through the city: the merchant promised a reward of 100 gold coins to anyone who returned the lost money. The carpenter did exactly that. He brought the wallet back, intact. And thatโs when the โgameโ began. Seeing the coins in his hands again, the merchant was overtaken by greed. He counted them and boldly declared: โThere are only โฆMore
The Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God January 1 โ Feast of Mary, Mother of God Beloved in the Lord, let us lift our minds to the glorious Virgin Mary, the Mother of God, in whom the mercy of the Most High has wrought a wonder beyond all human understanding. In the beginning, the Creator fashioned man and woman in His image, to be fruitful, holy, and obedient, living in harmony with His will. In that first paradise, marriage and the lusts of the flesh were not yet needed, for man and woman were to bear fruit in virtue, in obedience, and in communion with God. The Fall brought corruption; the desires of the flesh entered, and marriage was permitted as a concession to human weakness (Genesis 3:16). But behold the Virgin Mary, the New Eve, who, in humility and obedience, restores what was lost. She bears the New Adam, our Lord Jesus Christ, yet remains ever-virgin. Her fruitfulness is not of the flesh, but of the Spirit, producing the salvation of the world and the spiritual children of the โฆMore
Concerned Citizen @BGatesIsaPyscho x.com/BGatesIsaPyscho/status/2007041192307970375 Meanwhile on New Years Eve all across Western Europe Watch as people flee for their lives and Police & Ambulance workers get shot at with Fireworks This isnโt France or Germany or Belgium or Holland or Spain or Portugal where you already witnessed New Years Carnage like never before - for example in Strasbourg, France over 100 Cars were burned out and dozens of police officers were injured. This has never happened in Europe, nor should it happen, yet it clearly is. This is Birmingham, UK. There is a common denominator, and the veil of NYE masks the celebration of conquest.
I have been reading some of the non Catholic posts you are putting up. Which I usually don't do on gtv or anywhere else. But I think this man is very wise. If a person can not be honest with themselves I believe they can't be honest with others as they should be either. Just my opinion. And by experience.
Today is First Saturday . Let us make reparation for the 5 sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of our Lady: 1. For blasphemies committed against her Immaculate Conception. 2. For blasphemies committed against her perpetual Virginity. 3. For blasphemies committed against her Divine Maternity. 4. For blasphemies of those who seek to sow indifference, scorn or hatred of Mary in the hearts of children. 5. For blasphemies committed by those who outrage her in her images. โPray the rosary everyday!โ
