@future42org @SurvivalReport @choeshow If you don't have them already, get defib kits for every floor of your residential or office building. Also learn CPR & how to dress wounds, and plan out what you're going to do w/o 911's if you have a medical emergency.

@muthaPNW @StealthMedical1 I was busy. If was another marathon space, wasn't it?

@AuspiceBatZion @StealthMedical1 Yeah, did you listen last night? There was a part of the space that really stood out to me. I need to go back to that.

@1silveramerican @Freedom250 Well, not quite 'full house' (see all the empty benches?). Still a lot of people tho

@Freedom250 Look closer… Not a full house…

This is what remembrance looks like. A full house at Arlington’s Memorial Amphitheater for our National Memorial Day Observance. 🇺🇸

@agostino_harry I bet it will be mentioned in @AscensionPress 's edition, though. It's supposed to have reflection q's & everything

@agostino_harry Savlanut, Harry. This is a long one (I think it would take 3-4 hours to read aloud), & was just released today. Many will want to pick it apart, including non-Catholics. Someone will mention it sooner or later, esp. since that's THE MAGNIFICAT. One thing at a time?

Why has none of the Magnification Humanitas discourse on here mentioned that he concluded the whole thing with a beautiful reflection on the Magnificat?!

@ByzCat I often find myself frustrated with the volume of options in an Internet search. But now I wonder, did this start to frustrate me before or after AI? Is my brain atrophying somewhat, or is the volume of search results growing?

@ByzCat Interesting. Now they I've listened to some summaries of it (the whole thing would take a few HOURS to read out loud), I have to say that is a detail that would have escaped my attention. Speaking of attention...

Pope Leo teaches that the Tower of Babel was a real historical event. He repeatedly affirms that what he is opposed to is the construction of a new Babel, implying there really was an old one. "Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel" - n. 1 "I ask everyone to abandon the construction of yet another Tower of Babel" - n. 16 "we are faced with a new form of Babel" - n. 129 He also teaches that the original Tower of Babel occurred very early in human history: "The story of Babel appears in the Book of Genesis, at the origins of humanity, immediately after the genealogies of Noah’s sons." - n. 7

BREAKING: Masked Islamists in Montreal paraded a Jew being hanged through the streets. Get every single one of these terrorists out of the West. Enough of this.

@Cr7Godbrand "She doesn't have to..." But she's still doing it, just at different times. Which doesn't leave her with any more energy for late-night bedroom introspections than before.

I’ve been married for five years, and my wife does most of the cooking and cleaning. I hardly do those things. Why? Because she cooks three types of meals on the weekend that last from Monday to Friday. She only does laundry on weekends. She only cleans on weekends. We also do our shopping only on weekends. I had to help create these routines for her because she kept complaining about the “mental load” crap. Women create a lot of this mental load for themselves and then complain that motherhood is hard. No, you made motherhood hard on yourselves. She doesn’t have to deep-clean the floor late at night. She can do it tomorrow. She doesn’t have to do laundry late at night either. Laundry can even be done on the weekend. She doesn’t have to wash the dishes immediately; they can wait until tomorrow.

@dougla16338 @choeshow @MayorofSeattle 😂 Yes please!

@choeshow @MayorofSeattle Some buddies of mine are going to round up the ones that Wilson shipped over to Bremerton and drive them back the night before the World Cup starts. Their goal is to bring back to Seattle every single homeless person she ferries over to Bremerton

NEW: Paging Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson. Get ready for the next inflow of homeless drug addicts into your city. 🙃 @MayorofSeattle

@Cenozar Will you be posting a reading of 'Magnifica Humanitas'? 🙏🏻 (I like to fill my ears with such things while I'm on the move)

@maybedanielleee Excellent question! 🤷🏻‍♀️

@AuspiceBatZion Which raises further questions regarding the "translator," if present. How the heck do they know what that person is saying?!

As a former Protestant, I have never understood the pentecostal/charismatic version of 'speaking in tongues.' Every time I heard it, I can only describe the experience as weird, confusing, frightening, and concerning, simultaneously. It is almost always a spontaneous episode of repeated nonsense syllables, bearing no resemblance to any human language, living or dead. Today, I wondered if a translation error was responsible for the behavior. Perhaps, one of the common translations had left something out. So, I compared the English Standard Version against the Douay-Rheims. There is very little difference. It seems they simply stopped reading at verse 4.

@maybedanielleee Since the Church documents miracles (particularly to confirm sainthood), I would be interested to know (& see) if there was any documentation of the miracle of xenoglossia... 🤔

@maybedanielleee If you want to use technical terms, the phenomenon described in Acts is xenoglossia (the supernatural speaking of an existing language previously unknown to the speaker) but what Pentecostals do is glossolalia (ecstatic jumbled syllables & speech parts, un-translatable).

“Only after the last judgment will Mary get any rest; from now until then, she is much too busy with her children.” St. John Vianney

The Mother of the Redeemed May 25, 2026 Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church Monday after Pentecost Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. John 19:25–27 Yesterday, we celebrated the great Solemnity of Pentecost, commemorating the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the first disciples and the birth of the Church. Just as God “breathed” life into Adam at the creation, so the Holy Spirit, the Breath of God, gives new life to the Church, the Body of Christ. At Pentecost, the Blessed Virgin Mary was present, embodying the Gift of Fortitude in her unwavering trust in God’s plan. Fortitude, one of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, strengthens us to persevere in doing good, especially amid trials, suffering, or temptation. It acts as an anchor, holding us steady during life’s storms and uniting us more deeply to the Mystery of the Cross. When this memorial was instituted in 2018, Cardinal Robert Sarah beautifully reminded us that “the Christian life must be anchored to the Mystery of the Cross, to the oblation of Christ in the Eucharistic Banquet, and to the Mother of the Redeemer and Mother of the Redeemed….” Today, we honor her not only as the Mother of the Redeemer but also as our Mother—the Mother of the Redeemed. What a profound gift it is to share a spiritual mother with the Son of God! Through her maternal care and intercession, she leads us to her Son and strengthens us on our journey of faith. The Gospel for today’s memorial recalls one of the most sacred images in the Scriptures—the Blessed Virgin Mary standing at the foot of the Cross, gazing with perfect faith, hope, and love at her divine Son. Her fidelity to Him was unwavering. With a motherly empathy, strengthened by the fullness of grace, she felt His pains and endured His suffering until the end. Though Jesus embodied every virtue and spiritual gift, He allowed Himself to receive strength and consolation from His mother as He hung upon the Cross. This act of shared love and mutual consolation—Christ receiving strength from His mother as she shared in His suffering—invites us to embrace this same love, allowing our Blessed Mother’s maternal care to unite us more fully to Christ. When Jesus turned to His mother and said, “Woman, behold, your son,” and to John, “Behold, your mother,” He was speaking to each of us, entrusting His mother to us and us to her. As the Blessed Mother stood by her Son in His suffering, she also stands by us, teaching us to remain steadfast in our faith, rooted in Christ’s sacrifice and strengthened by His Eucharistic presence. God strengthens and consoles us in accord with His divine plan, which includes the grace dispensed through the Sacraments—especially the Eucharist—the charitable intercession of others, the ministry of angels, and the unique motherly mediation of the Mother of God, our mother. Reflect today on the many ways God sanctifies and strengthens you for your mission. Through the Eucharist, we are united to Christ’s Cross and receive the grace to rise triumphantly with Him. Along this journey, we are strengthened by the Blessed Mother, the Mother of the Church and the Mediatrix of grace. As the Spirit filled the Church at Pentecost, so too does He fill our hearts today, leading us to Mary, whose love and intercession anchor us to her Son and His saving grace. Mother of the Church and Mother of God, the Holy Spirit filled you with the fullness of grace and perfected every virtue in your humble soul. Your strength to endure the Cross with your Son includes a promise that you will always stand by me, showering your motherly care and mediating the grace of your Son. Please be my mother now and always, and help me to be a faithful disciple of your Son, anchored in His Cross and lifted by His grace. Mother of the Church and Mother of the Redeemed, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You. Image: The crucifixion of Jesus /Christ painting Read entire reflection: catholic-daily-reflections.com/2026/05/24/the… #GospelOfTheDay

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

@AramaicWire I'm confused... How is the Holy Leaven in the Eucharist separate, its own sacrament, from the Eucharist which contains it?

The seven sacraments of The Church of The East. “In the sacraments, the grace of the Holy Spirit descends upon us.” The Holy Leaven is the sixth sacrament & is only used in this ancient Church.

A fearless nun who rescued Christian and Yazidi slaves from ISIS in Syria made a direct and uncomfortable statement: “ISIS is Islam. Islam is ISIS.” After witnessing the horrors firsthand, she accused the Western world of protecting Islam’s false image as a “religion of peace,” while ignoring the genocide and enslavement of non-Muslim minorities across the Muslim world. She argues that the West must stop defending this ideology and start protecting the people who are actually being persecuted. Her words are hard to hear, but they come from someone who saw the reality up close.
