More of this please

@LoisMcLatch @DrCalumMiller @DillyHussain88 That’s probably due to the secularization of the West. “If there is no God, all things are permissible.” - Fydor Dostoevsky. Government has replaced the family as the place a child is educated and taught moral values. In the West, human life has no intrinsic value in of itself.

🌎 Globally, it’s only Western countries - with high rates of family breakdown, isolation and loneliness - that debate introducing assisted su!c!de. Cultures which highly value family/community find the concept unthinkable. @DrCalumMiller and @DillyHussain88 compare👇👇👇

I would say that it is harder to hide my faith as a committed Catholic than it was when I was an evangelical Protestant. crisismagazine.com/opinion/cathol… via @CrisisMag

Do you love Mary

From the Coptic martyrs of Libya, to Fr. Jacques Hamel in France, to the Middle East, Nigeria, and Pakistan, the most egregious examples of persecutions of Christians all seems to occur at the hands of Muslims. crisismagazine.com/opinion/cathol… via @CrisisMag

@PatriciaHeaton And she’s a therapist!!!!!!! She needs her license revoked

Antisemitism is a mental disorder

The law does not say, “Because you judge the Church to be in crisis, you may now disobey.” It says that if someone violates the law under necessity or grave fear, he may not incur certain penalties, depending on sincerity and... crisismagazine.com/opinion/grave-… via @CrisisMag

I have never done this. I most likely won't ever again. My youngest daughter-in- law is on life support in the hospital. Im not asking for money. I've more than enough. All I'm asking for are prayers. Because I believe that God is real, and he hears our prayers.

@BoopMagagirl24 May her eternal soul rest in peace through the intercession of the Blessed Mother and the mercy of God.

My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma a week ago and she passed away at home with all of us kids around her on the 15th. My heart is so broken I can’t even put it into words. Lord please give me strength 🥺😭💔🙏

On April 12, 1947, a man filled with rage against the Catholic Church experienced one of the most powerful Marian apparitions of the 20th century. His name was Bruno Cornacchiola. Born in 1913 in Rome, Bruno was baptized Catholic and made his First Communion, but life led him far from the faith. As a young man, he fought in the Spanish Civil War on the anti-Catholic side. There, a German Protestant influenced him deeply. He returned home a militant protestant and bitter enemy of the Church. He abused his faithful Catholic wife Iolanda, forbade her from attending Mass with their children, and even plotted to assassinate Pope Pius XII. He bought a dagger engraved with “Death to the Pope” for the planned attack on September 8, 1947. That spring day in 1947, Bruno took his three young children to the hills of Tre Fontane, the historic site where St. Paul was martyred. While the children played, Bruno sat preparing a venomous public lecture denying the Immaculate Conception and attacking the Virgin Mary. But heaven intervened. The children’s ball rolled near a small, dark grotto. Little Gianfranco suddenly knelt, hands joined, crying out in joy: “Beautiful Lady! Beautiful Lady!” His siblings soon joined him on their knees, repeating the same words in ecstasy. Bruno thought it was a childish game until he approached and saw her too. A woman of indescribable beauty appeared in the grotto. She wore a dazzling white dress with a rose-colored sash, a flowing green mantle, and held a gray book (the Holy Scriptures) pressed to her heart. At her feet lay a broken crucifix on a black cloth. A sweet fragrance filled the air. She looked at Bruno with maternal sorrow and spoke for about 80 minutes: “I am she who is the Daughter of the Father, Mother of the Son, and Spouse and Temple of the Holy Spirit. I am the Virgin of Revelation. You persecute me, enough of it now! Enter into the Holy Fold, the Heavenly Court on earth, the Catholic Church. The Nine First Fridays in honor of the Sacred Heart, which your faithful wife persuaded you to observe before you walked the road of lies, have saved you.” She revealed the sad state of his soul, urged him to return to the pure source of the Gospel, and emphasized the power of prayer: “Pray much and recite the Rosary daily for the conversion of sinners, unbelievers, and all Christians.” She promised: “In this place of sin I shall perform wonderful miracles for the conversion of unbelievers.” She also confirmed the dogma of the Assumption (proclaimed in 1950): “My body could not decay. My Son and the angels took me to heaven.” He rushed home, knelt before his long-suffering wife Iolanda, confessed everything with tears, and the entire family returned to the Catholic Church. He spent the rest of his life (until his death in 2001) as a humble, tireless witness, sharing this message of mercy and leading thousands back to the faith. Pope Pius XII blessed the first statue of Our Lady of Revelation in October 1947. “Return to the Holy Fold. Pray the Rosary. In this place I will work miracles.” — Our Lady of Revelation May the Virgin of Revelation intercede for us all, especially those on this platform who attack Our Lady as Bruno did.

@Sachinettiyil No greater love that one who lays down their life for friends. May the soul of faithfully departed Sister Nasir through the mercy of God rest in peace!

Truly, a family that prays together stays together. Look at this beautiful family 🥺❤️ .

@AuditeInsulae Lord I believe! Help my unbelief!

DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE REAL PRESENCE? Recent studies show that only 64% to 69% believe in the Real Presence. This is a desperate situation!! The Son of God is truly present on the altar! The Saints spoke about the Mass with awe & even holy fear because they understood what was truly happening. St. Francis of Assisi said: “Man should tremble, the world should quake, all Heaven should be deeply moved when the Son of God appears on the altar in the hands of the priest.” If Heaven itself is moved by what happens at the altar, we certainly should be too. If you have doubts about the Real Presence, pray “An Act of Faith.” O my God, I firmly believe that you are one God in three divine Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe that your divine Son became man and died for our sins and that he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe these and all the truths which the Holy Catholic Church teaches because you have revealed them who are eternal truth and wisdom, who can neither deceive nor be deceived. In this faith I intend to live and die. Amen.
