Pope Leo XIV warned today about the escalating Israel–U.S. attack on Iran, urging an immediate end to the violence: “May the thunderous sound of bombs cease. May weapons fall silent.” He cautioned that the conflict could spread across the Middle East, warning that countries like Lebanon risk being pulled back into instability.
At Angelus, Pope Leo XIV calls for a ceasing of hostilities in the ongoing Israeli-US Iran conflict: “Dear brothers and sisters, deeply disturbing news continues to arrive from Iran and the entire Middle East. In addition to the episodes of violence and devastation as well as the widespread climate of hatred and fear, there is also the concern that the conflict will spread and that other countries in the region, including beloved Lebanon, may again sink back into instability. We lift up our humble prayer to the Lord, so that the thunderous sound of bombs may cease, weapons may fall silent, and a space for dialogue may open up in which the voice of the people can be heard. I entrust this intention to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Peace, that she may intercede for those who suffer because of war and lead hearts along the paths of reconciliation and hope.”
Is she Mediatrix of all Graces? Is it an affront, to say the least, to deprive her of this title? Is he now trying to beg of Her the graces we are so in need of?
Entrust this intention to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Peace? Using Queen after denouncing co-redemptrix and then Entrust what? You bite her heel then you invoke her? She probably will still lesson to you but come on. If you trust her then ask for consecration of Russia and Russia alone in union with all Bishops of the world
"Now I want to show thee how they deceive themselves, and how, wishing to flee troubles, they fall into them. For, because it seems to them that following Me, that is, walking by the way of the Bridge, the Word, My Son, is great toil, they draw back, fearing the thorn. This is because they are blinded and do not know or see the Truth, as, thou knowest, I showed thee in the beginning of thy life, when thou didst pray Me to have mercy on the world, and draw it out of the darkness of mortal sin. Thou knowest that I then showed thee Myself under the figure of a Tree, of which thou sawest neither the beginning nor the end, so that thou didst not see that the roots were united with the earth of your humanity..."
[Saint Catherine of Siena /Caterina di Benincasa/; XIV-XV Century AD; Siena, Republic of Siena/Rome, Papal States; aged 33; Spiritual Writer; Mystic; Virgin; Doctor of the Church] “How the evil gets hold of souls', under pretence of some good : and, how those are deceived who keep by the river, and not by the aforesaid Bridge, for, wishing to fly pains, they fall into them ; and of the vision of a tree, that this soul once had. " I have told thee that the Devil invites men to the water of death, that is, to that which he has, and, blinding them with the pleasures and conditions of the world, he catches them with the hook of pleasure, under the pretence of good, because in no other way could he catch them, for they would not allow themselves to be caught if they saw that no good or pleasure to themselves were to be obtained thereby. For the soul, from her nature, always relishes good, though it is true that the soul, blinded by self-love, does not know and discern what is true good, and …Okunengi

The second one was a day ago and I am sorry, I can't remember if he says anything bad. Just beware that sometimes, he does that out of no where. Scott Ritter: RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE v.

SAINT FRANCES OF ROME - March 9 Religious (1384-1440) St. Frances' parents were high-ranking Roman officials. They overruled her decision to become a nun and married her when she was 12 years old to Rorenzo Ponziano, a nobleman. In 40 years of married life, they never argued. St. Frances attended promptly to every household duty saying, "A married woman must leave God at the altar to find Him in her domestic cares." Her ordinary food was bread and water, but she often brought sumptuous food to the poor and needy. During the invasion of Rome in 1413, Ponziano was banished, his house was destroyed, his estates were confiscated, and his eldest son was taken hostage. St. Frances saw in these losses only the finger of God and blessed His holy name. When peace was restored, Ponziano recovered his estate and St. Frances founded the Oblates. After her husband's death, St. Frances lived with the Oblates and was elected superioress. She was constanly aware of the presence of God. Among many visions …Okunengi

As you try climb up the virtuous ladder to God, the devil will try make you slip and fall many times; visiting the Blessed Sacrament in reverent worship, prayer, adoration and stillness will aid you to hold on to the ladder firmly in faith and perseverance.
I was just thinking about her. I was thinking of a movie made in France. A Nun who gave her a hard time had someone read from Therese Lisieux life She read, when the bell rang she put the Child JESUS down and left. When the Nun asked the class what would they do, no one answered, so she asked St. Bernadette. And I loved her answer! She said, I would take the Child with me. A baby can't weigh that much. What a beautiful answer she gave to that Nun.

Six members of the Congrégation de Riaumont are due to appear in court on 14 April at the criminal court in Béthune. The case involves alleged violence against minors from 2007 to 2019. The hearing will initially take place before a single judge. However, prosecutors are expected to request that the case be transferred to a panel of judges, citing the complexity of the proceedings. According to lawyer Étienne Thieffry, the first hearing will likely focus primarily on procedural questions. The Congrégation de Riaumont is a religious community founded in the 1960s in northern France, centered on a boarding school for boys. Its members are oblates associated with the Benedictine Abbey of Fontgombault that follows the Roman rite. Nature of the Charges The six accused men - including three priests, one of whom is the community’s former prior, Alain Hocquemiller - are charged under French law with “violence against minors under fifteen by a person in a position of authority.” Prosecutors …Okunengi
Russia was forced to sell its oil at a discount of $10-$13 a barrel before the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran, now it is selling at a premium of $4-$5, according to Reuters. Is it normal to sell oil that cheap? How can anyone sell oil so low and still be such a prosperous country. I don't know much about this sort of thing. Maybe it is. They say Russia has cheap, fair and low prices. But I would think that's extremely low. Yet! Russia once again comes out a winner. You can't keep this country and President down, or destroy and kill them no matter what they do to her.

THE “distinctiveness” that, 50 years ago, was a source of embarrassment to Roman Catholics is drawing young people to the Church and keeping their faith alive, a new book argues. In a post-modern culture characterised by the search for identity, belonging, and meaning, it is “strong religious subcultures” that will often draw young people into the fold, argues the book After Secularisation by Stephen Bullivant, Hannah Vaughan-Spruce, and Bernadette Durcan, published by the Catholic Truth Society. When it comes to the parish, the book observes a “growing trend of people choosing which parish to attend based on reasons other than pure geography. . . The cultural importance of individual choice and authenticity in the post-Christian era has made an indelible impact on the practice of Catholicism.” Growing parishes understand this, the book suggests. Instead of operating as “generalist organisations aiming to serve all in a heterogeneous market” (a quotation attributed to the sociologist …
MARCH 7 2026 THE GOSPEL breski1 Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 15,1-3.11-32. Tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to listen to Jesus, but the Pharisees and scribes began to complain, saying, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them." So to them he addressed this parable. Then he said, "A man had two sons, and the younger son said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of your estate that should come to me.' So the father divided the property between them. After a few days, the younger son collected all his belongings and set off to a distant country where he squandered his inheritance on a life of dissipation. When he had freely spent everything, a severe famine struck that country, and he found himself in dire need. So he hired himself out to one of the local citizens who sent him to his farm to tend the swine. And he longed to eat his fill of the pods on which the swine fed, but nobody gave him any. Coming to his senses he thought, 'How many of …Okunengi
