‘THE PASSION AND CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS CHRIST AND THE SEVEN LAST WORDS FROM THE CROSS’ By St. ALPHONSUS de LIGUORI; points 2; pp. 12-13; part I [Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori – XVII – XVIII Century AD; born: Marianella, Kingdom of Naples/died: Pagani, Kingdom of Naples; (aged 90); spiritual writer, composer, musician, artist, poet, lawyer, scholastic philosopher, and theologian, Founder, Bishop, Doctor of the Church] VII. THE SEVEN WORDS SPOKEN BY JESUS CHRIST ON THE CROSS 2. "Amen I say to you, this day you shall be with Me in paradise." (Lk 23:43) St. Luke writes that of the two thieves who were [282] crucified with Jesus Christ, one continued obstinate, the other was converted; and seeing his miserable companion blaspheming Jesus Christ, and saying, If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us, he turned and reproved him, saying that they were deservedly punished, but that Jesus was innocent. Then he turned to Jesus himself and said, Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom …نور
He /good thief/ exercised penitence together with the confession of his sins, saying, We indeed justly; for we received the due reward of our deeds. St. Augustine observes that before [283] his confession he had not boldness to hope for pardon; he did not dare to say Remember me, until, by the confession of his guilt, he had thrown off the burden of his sins. On this St. Athanasius exclaims, O blessed thief, you have stolen a kingdom by that confession!

Show Mercy Now, Receive God's Mercy St. James emphasizes the importance of mercy, stating that we will be judged by the same standard of mercy we extend to others. True faith, as James explains, is not just belief but also action, demonstrated through kindness and understanding towards others. By being merciful, we align ourselves with God’s will and continue the work of Jesus Christ. Fr.

Jewish settlers’ attacks on Palestinians are not isolated incidents, and despite condemnations by Israeli officials, the violence continues, fueled by persistent impunity for perpetrators. The Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem issued a joint statement following the October 17 settler attack on the Christian village of Taybeh. They insist the attack was not an isolated incident, but part of a wider pattern of settler violence against Palestinian villages across the West Bank, escalating during the olive harvest. The Church leaders acknowledge that Israeli President Isaac Herzog condemned the violence and that Israeli police made arrests. However, they warn that settler attacks continue because perpetrators enjoy impunity, raising serious concerns about the effectiveness of Israeli law enforcement. Finally, they condemn a recently published religious ruling permitting Jews to take Palestinians' olives, calling it "very worrying and dangerous, and absolutely unacceptable." The …نور
“To every American, and to everyone watching France burn from abroad: Do not blame the French people for this. We never asked for it. We never voted for it. And the one time we were clearly asked, we said no. Here are the numbers your media won't show you. 70% of the French say there are too many immigrants in France today. 79% want a tougher immigration policy. 77% disapprove of the government's record on immigration. 83% want foreign criminals and long-term unemployed foreigners sent home. And no, it's not just the old. 69% of French 18 to 24 year olds support suspending legal immigration for three years. This is not a fringe. This is the French people. In 2005, we were asked if we wanted the European Constitution. 55% voted no. Three years later, our politicians passed the same text under another name, through parliament, without ever asking us again. That is modern France in one sentence. The people say no. The elites do it anyway. So who is responsible? The politicians who lied to …نور
Leo XIV’s personnel decision is a “grave sin”. Thomas Mirus, editor-in-chief of the “conservative” CatholicCulture.com, commented on X on Leo XIV’s appointment of Sister Mary Barron as President of the Pontifical Mission Societies (Missio). Both before her appointment and two weeks afterward, Sister Mary advocated for the ordination of women. She told EWTN on October 20: “Women today may hear the call to priesthood. Some of the great women saints heard that call also. So for me, it’s how do we within the Church facilitate that discernment?” Mirus commented on the interview: “I believe a grave sin is being committed by anyone who appoints or allows this woman to continue holding this position, knowing her heretical views.” He added: “This is why I said a while back that you cannot be a ‘good pope’ if you allow these things to happen, no matter how many edifying spiritual things you may say in your homilies.” #newsZwgkbxvmjq
There are three kinds of spirits: the Holy Spirit, the evil spirit, and liquid spirits. I know the Holy Spirit (Ghost) was not involved in her evil quest.
Saint Paul Reveals The Mystery Of Salvation St. Paul, initially a Pharisee who believed salvation was exclusive to Jews, received a revelation from God that the Gentiles were also part of the new covenant through Christ. This revelation, challenging the Jewish belief in their exclusivity, emphasized that salvation is open to all who have faith in Christ, regardless of their background. This understanding allowed St. Paul to preach the inclusivity of God’s plan and the confidence believers can have in approaching God’s throne through Christ. Fr.

Russia has a right to act legally and entitled to act to retaliate. If I give a weapon to someone, knowing that they're going to kill with it, I'm jointly responsible. So Britain - through Prime Minister 'Bomber' Burnham - has admitted to several murders inside Russian territory George Galloway says Russia has the right absolutely legally entitled to act and take retaliatory measures against Britain. But counting on the good graces of President Putin in not doing what he is legally entitled to do in punishing Britain. Putin didn't do anything so far to anyone. Including Poland who tried to kill an officer in Russia. He knows who is behind the killing of many children and civilians. But it's his desire for peace that prevents him from retaliating against anyone knowing it would lead to a WW. Which He does not want for anyone. The Russians are being attacked by us, not the other way round ---
Willy Wimmer, former German defense official and key player in reunification, who exposes how U.S. and NATO betrayal after the Cold War lit the fuse for today’s Ukraine conflict. Wimmer reveals how American elites planned NATO expansion and even the breakup of Russia, long before the current war, turning Europe into a battleground for U.S. global dominance. He warns: the same forces pushing for war then are pushing harder now. He calls on Europe to reclaim its sovereignty, reject escalation, and embrace peace.
Vatican Cardinal George Jacob Koovakad visited the Jain temple at the Oshwal Centre in Potters Bar, near London, on October 20. Inside the temple, a Jain pagan "priest" presented a metal tray bearing burning oil lamps in what appears to be Aarti, a devotional ritual in which light is waved before a sacred image or idol. #newsZsvfyafjwd

"It was a very unscientific and harmful report." HJA Ruissen condemns the Forbidden Colours "Hate Review" — a report riddled with lies and inaccuracies about hundreds of Christian organisations. He rightly asks: Why is the EU funding groups who vilify certain viewpoints simply because they are Christian? @Jugend für das Leben
The Catholic situation. As we speak right now many Christians will get martyred and NO one at the Vatican will say or do anything. Several countries have embraced communism socialism, but the most important thing for the top is treating politicians who go after illegal migrants, cancel money for both DEI and climate change like if they were nazis. Christians ARE being killed and are made slaves right now, the communist party in China are establishing their communist Bishops as "catholic", but to the Vatican, ordeining new bishops within the SSPX is hell on earth. Meanwhile, judas James Martin goes all around the Catholic Church preaching to the masses that homosexuality is beautiful, 2 popes, 2 sat downs with Martin at the Vatican and while those, who are faithful, won’t get 1 minute of the pope's time. France is burning as of now due to the type dark migrant policy their leaders for years took, the same type of policy BOTH popes embraced and hailed... NEVER did Francis defended or …نور

Worse than Germany: Irish Synod pushes female 'ordination'. Twenty-three bishops, including presiding Archbishop Eamon Martin of Armagh, attended the Irish Synod on Saturday. The majority favoured the ordination of women to the diaconate. The Synod didn't vote on using chocolate instead of hosts at the Novus Ordo. More than 300 handpicked delegates gathered in Gormanston, County Meath, to vote on 35 proposals concerning the future of the Church in Ireland. Regarding women's ministry, including "ordination" to the diaconate, 54% supported further exploration. A further 19% called for further consideration, while 27% were opposed. Delegates also voted in favour of adopting "more respectful language" concerning practicing homosexuals. The proposal received 61% support, while 26% requested further discernment and 13% opposed it. At the end of the assembly, Archbishop Martin recalled that it was the bishops who had initiated the synodal process in 2021. He announced that the Irish Bishops' …نور
Sam shows us another Catholic Church near Moscow. I have shown pictures already of The Cathedral of the Annunciation. Now we see another Catholic Church near Moscow. Today I’m visiting a typical provincial Russian Catholic church — a small, peaceful place many people outside the country don’t even realise exists. While Russia is known for its Orthodox churches and golden domes, there are Catholic communities quietly living their everyday lives across the country, especially in provincial towns. As a foreigner, stepping into one of these churches feels both familiar and unique. The architecture, the atmosphere, the people, the traditions… they create a blend of Western and Russian influences you rarely see anywhere else. In this video, you’ll see: – What a Catholic church in provincial Russia actually looks like – The architecture, interior, and atmosphere – How Catholic communities live within a largely Orthodox country – The differences and similarities to Western churches – A quiet …نور

Rev. Antonio Jesús Martín de Lera, former vicar general of the Diocese of Zamora, Spain, is facing a canonical criminal trial over financial misconduct and abuse of ecclesiastical authority. Bishop Fernando Valera ordered a preliminary investigation after learning of possible irregularities. A judicial tribunal was formally constituted on January 29, 2026, before the Tribunal of the Rota of the Apostolic Nunciature in Madrid. According to Spanish media reports, investigators uncovered substantial unexplained financial losses linked to the management of Cáritas assets. The amounts involved have not been disclosed. The proceedings follow a prolonged dispute between the bishop and his former deputy, who was previously removed from diocesan leadership and parish responsibilities. The diocese stresses that no verdict has been reached and that Martín de Lera remains entitled to the presumption of innocence. #newsVdzysuastr
