The Light the Darkness Cannot Overcome The darkness covering the earth and the mist obscuring people’s vision are contrasted with the grace given to the Magi, allowing them to seek and worship the newborn King. This grace, a gift from God, enables individuals to recognize and desire truth, despite the prevalent darkness and rejection of goodness and righteousness in the world. The darkness of the world is increasing, but the light of God will always prevail. We must choose to be the light, even in the face of persecution, by relying on God’s grace and allowing His light to shine through us. This means living our faith with charity, mercy, and compassion, remembering that we were once in darkness ourselves. Fr. Altier’s Daily Homilies Fr.

This is the only photograph ever taken of the Brothers Grimm. You know their fairy tales—but you don't know what they really did. A daguerreotype studio in Germany. Two elderly men sit stiffly for the camera—new technology that requires them to remain motionless for several seconds. Jacob is 62, his younger brother Wilhelm is 61. They've spent their entire adult lives working side by side. This single photograph would become the only authenticated image of both brothers together. Most people know them for one thing: Grimm's Fairy Tales. Cinderella. Snow White. Rapunzel. Hansel and Gretel. Rumpelstiltskin. Stories that have been told to children for two centuries, adapted into countless films, embedded so deeply in our culture that we forget they came from somewhere—from someone. But here's what most people don't know: the Brothers Grimm didn't write fairy tales. They rescued them. THE MISSION THAT STARTED EVERYTHING Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm and Wilhelm Carl Grimm were born just one year …More
Related: before the Universal Flood, we didn't need to eat meat (and weren't allowed to). But the Flood changed everything to be much worse than before... Now we can't stay healthy without eating meat/fish. We should be aware of that fact! (Anyone telling you otherwise has been brainwashed...)
Minnesota Diocese Gives ‘Ad Orientem’ Worship a Shot: Unlike the Traditional Latin Mass, which refers to the form of the Roman Rite prior to the reforms of Vatican II, ad orientem is a posture that can be used in the celebration of the post-conciliar Mass.
Cardinal Leopoldo Brenes, 76, of Managua, Nicaragua, did not attend the consistory held in Rome on 7–8 January. He stated that he was not invited, claiming that he had checked his emails, WhatsApp messages and communications from the College of Cardinals. However, on 8 January, senior Church sources told LaPrensaNi.com that Cardinal Brenes had received an invitation to participate in the consistory but had refused to go for undisclosed reasons. The sources also indicated that there may be ongoing or attempted negotiations with the Nicaraguan government. The Church has faced sustained confrontation with the Ortega regime, resulting in persecution, restrictions on religious activity and the forced exile of several bishops.

So..., not a 'computer guy'.... One does have to wonder, however, if he was as oblivious as this about checking his "social media" (in itself not necessarily a bad thing; some prelates - Prevost anyone? - are on it way too much!) before opening his mouth, is this really the kind of 'leadership' the Church requires at the moment ?!
How can the Catholic Church seek unity with other Christian communities by compromising the Word of God and disregarding the divine commandments? Authentic Christian unity can never be built upon the denial of revealed truth or moral absolutes. Ideologies that contradict natural law and divine revelation—such as the normalization of homosexual acts, abortion, contraception, IVF, euthanasia, and attacks against the sacramental nature of the priesthood and the Sacrament of Confession—cannot serve as foundations for true communion.

The 4 themes of the consistory In his address, the Holy Father outlined the four themes that will be discussed during the extraordinary consistory. Two of them are named after papal documents of his predecessor, Francis: the apostolic exhortation Evangelii Gaudium and the apostolic constitution Praedicate Evangelium. Evangelii Gaudium, he noted, has to do with “the mission of the Church in today’s world,” while Praedicate Evangelium refers to “the service of the Holy See, especially to the particular Churches.” The third and fourth topics will be “synod and synodality,” as “both an instrument and a style of collaboration,” and “the liturgy, the source and summit of Christian life.” However, he clarified, “due to time constraints and in order to encourage a genuinely in-depth analysis, only two of them will be discussed specifically.” “While each of the 21 groups will contribute to the choice that we will make, the groups that will be reporting will be those nine coming from …More
