@dlongenecker1 Fr. Norbert from St Michael’s Abbey keeps it simple….”our world is out of balance, pray and fast more.”

By their fruits you shall know them...

@MikeBales Wait. They weren’t taken care of before?

As most of you know, my son is a Sailor. He sent a picture of his lunch yesterday from the galley. I’m thankful that we are finally taking care of our men and women in uniform. 🙏🏻🇺🇸

@ITGeekCT @Cordsofpenance @ojosmiel333 Venerable Mary Agreda on Joseph from the same book

@Cordsofpenance @ojosmiel333 Oh this is beautiful to read! Do you happen to remember which book this was taken from? I want to read the whole thing. 🙏🏻

The Death of St. Joseph, as Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich saw it: Death of St. Joseph As the time drew near for Jesus to begin His mission of teaching, I saw Him ever more solitary and meditative; and toward the same time, the thirtieth year of Jesus, Joseph began to decline. [Since Joseph was 45 at the time of Jesus' birth, he was around 75 when he passed away.] I saw Jesus and Mary often with him. Mary sometimes sat on the ground by his couch, or upon a low, round three legged stool, which served also for a table. I seldom saw them eating; but when they did, or brought some refreshment to Joseph’s bedside, it consisted of three, white, rather long, four-cornered pieces, about two fingers in breadth, that lay side by side on a little plate, and I saw also some little fruits in a dish. They gave him something to drink out of a mug. When Joseph was dying, Mary sat at the head of his bed, holding him in her arms. Jesus stood just below her near Joseph’s breast. The whole room was brilliant with light and full of angels. After his death, his hands were crossed on his breast, he was wrapped from head to foot in a white winding sheet, laid in a narrow casket, and placed in a very beautiful tomb, the gift of a good man. Only a few men followed the coffin with Jesus and Mary; but I saw it accompanied by angels and environed with light. Joseph’s remains were afterward removed by the Christians to Bethlehem, and interred. I think I can still see him lying there incorrupt. Joseph had of necessity to die before the Lord, for he could not have endured His Crucifixion; he was too gentle, too loving. He had already suffered much from the persecution Jesus had had to support from the malice of the Jews from His twentieth to His thirtieth year; for they could not bear the sight of Him. #StJoseph

@ITGeekCT @Cordsofpenance @ojosmiel333 The Life Of Mary As Seen By The Mystics by Raphael Brown. “Behold the legions of Angels that accompanied Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem.”

@JrzyJoePiscopo You can read this in the book by Raphael Brown The Life Of Mary As Seen By The Mystics in addition to her memoirs

@GuyAdami What is…..the likelihood of the US pulling out of the war with Iran by Memorial Day

4.376%

@FrStephenImb He’s not fibbing

C4C does not serve Catholics. It serves itself.

@_MAGA_NEWS_ CIC said we had pleny a bombs. Who’s fibbing?

🚨ALERT: In a bombshell revelation, U.S. Secretary of War disclosed that "the Biden administration depleted American stockpiles and sent them to Ukraine instead of keeping them for our own military. Every time we face a challenge, it traces back to Well, we sent it to Ukraine."

@MichaelRapaport The outward symbols are a wonderful testament to the faith but most important is the act of grace, humility, understanding, and patience. Peace Michael. Reflect on Joseph son of Jacob

BIG BODY SHABBAT SHALOM !!!

@PonderHart @thattradgal This is stated by the Church and her confessor in the preface of her and most of the writings of the mystics. Peace

Yes, thank you for sharing that. Private revelations like those attributed to Anne Catherine Emmerich can be spiritually meaningful, but they don’t carry the same weight or authority as the deposit of faith in determining doctrine. “Throughout the ages, there have been so-called ‘private’ revelations, some of which have been recognized by the authority of the Church. They do not belong, however, to the deposit of faith. It is not their role to improve or complete Christ’s definitive Revelation, but to help live more fully by it in a certain period of history. Guided by the Magisterium of the Church, the sensus fidelium knows how to discern and welcome in these revelations whatever constitutes an authentic call of Christ or his saints to the Church.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church 67)

Do you believe St Joseph was assumed, body and soul, into heaven? Why or why not?

@KatiePMcGrady @DairyQueen The evil one….duhh

I don't know who at @DairyQueen is Catholic, but good call on making our solemnity in Lent "free cone day" so that we can all come get some ice cream even though we gave up sweets.

@breeadail @GenFlynn I attend a class on the history of Catholicism given by a Montfort priest. He was invited down to one of these at maralago last summer with some of the same ilk including Roger Stone. Its where I learned to try and not judge😉

@GenFlynn So…Flynn, Owens, Carrie Prejean Boller…all at this event, promoted and/or directly connected to Aleksander Dugin:

DUGIN OP—Here, we see excommunicated schismatic @CarloMVigano cosplaying as a Catholic Archbishop (read: appeal to Authority) at Aleksander Dugin’s “Russiaphile” conference in 2024. Note who he praises. Also present: Sergey Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Considering the thread, attached…now do you understand the rhetoric of certain influencers—using Catholicism as a front for their political ideologies?

@gregkellyusa I said the same thing after listening to Brit Hume last night

Hegseth is Giving Off serious RUMSFELD vibes. The arrogance, denialism, indignation, WEIRDNESS. We’ve seen this before. “Rummy” got totally Carried Away with himself and he wound up Hurting not Helping. PETE should Calm Down.

@PonderHart @thattradgal Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich in her visions state’s Joseph was in the first ring of purgatory with the prophets and (heavy hitters) of the OT and taken up…..for what it’s worth. I buy that scenario. Peace

Some saints and theologians have speculated that Joseph may have been assumed, because of his unique role. Others simply hold that he died and awaits the resurrection like the rest of the faithful. But importantly: It is not part of Sacred Tradition as a defined teaching Catholics are free to believe or not believe it

@Joeinblack Cassocks no Cassocks?

About every six weeks, I take all the priests in my January to dinner. We sit down at a restaurant and laugh and talk and that’s one of my favorite things. We are gathering tonight and I’m really excited about it

@HeathLongmire @kaitlancollins @ClayTravis Reagan had a very good sense of humor without getting personal or insulting

@kaitlancollins @ClayTravis No president has ever had a better sense of humor

Asked why he didn't coordinate with allies before going to war with Iran, Trump says, "We didn't tell anyone about it. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK?"

@MAGAMIKE1776USA @GuntherEagleman @vfrang Where have you been for the last 80 years mike?????????

@GuntherEagleman @vfrang Japan is quickly becoming one of our biggest allies. They love the USA and are making big investments under Trump. 🇺🇸 🇯🇵

🚨JAPANESE AIR FORCE ONE JUST TOUCHED DOWN IN AMERICA, PRIME MINISTER TAKAICHI HAS OFFICIALLY ARRIVED! A key ally landing strong to meet with President Trump as our alliances roar back to life!

@brithume Has the soul of Donald Rumsfeld possessed you Brit?

"If the United States can hold firm for the next few weeks, it can fully degrade Iran’s war-making apparatus. This would usher in a multiyear interval of calm of the kind that neither sanctions nor diplomacy has been able to produce in..four decades." nytimes.com/2026/03/19/opi…

@flowerlady61 Joe Paterno????

Happy St. Joseph’s Day!!

@JeremyMcNeil @Aquinas_Quotes Maria semper virgo

@Aquinas_Quotes Ratum sed non consumatum

Was there a true marriage between Mary and Joseph?
