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 …Okunengi
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!

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

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.

“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 …Okunengi
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 …Okunengi

He exercised love to God, receiving death with resignation, as the punishment due to his sins, saying, We receive the due reward of our deeds.

"O my Jesus! henceforth I sacrifice to You my life, and I seek for grace to enable me, at the hour of my death, to unite the sacrifice of my life to that which You did offer to God upon the cross, and through which I hope to die in Your grace, and, loving You with pure love stripped of every earthly affection, to attain to love You with all my powers through all eternity."
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

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
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 …Okunengi
