DAILY SCRIPTURE READINGS 17 OCTOBER 2026 Ephesians 1:15–23 | Psalm 8 | Luke 12:8–12 Letter to the Ephesians 1,15-23. Brothers and sisters, hearing of your faith in the Lord Jesus and of your love for all the holy ones, do not cease giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him. May the eyes of (your) hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones, and what is the surpassing greatness of his power for us who believe, in accord with the exercise of his great might, which he worked in Christ, raising him from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavens, far above every principality, authority, power, and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this age but also in the one to come.

Samstag der 28. Woche im Jahreskreis Brief des Apostels Paulus an die Epheser 1,15-23. Schwestern und Brüder! Ich höre nicht auf, für euch zu danken, wenn ich in meinen Gebeten an euch denke; denn ich habe von eurem Glauben an Jesus, den Herrn, und von eurer Liebe zu allen Heiligen gehört. Der Gott Jesu Christi, unseres Herrn, der Vater der Herrlichkeit, gebe euch den Geist der Weisheit und Offenbarung, damit ihr ihn erkennt. Er erleuchte die Augen eures Herzens, damit ihr versteht, zu welcher Hoffnung ihr durch ihn berufen seid, welchen Reichtum die Herrlichkeit seines Erbes den Heiligen schenkt und wie überragend groß seine Macht sich an uns, den Gläubigen, erweist durch das Wirken seiner Kraft und Stärke. Er ließ sie wirksam werden in Christus, den er von den Toten auferweckt und im Himmel auf den Platz zu seiner Rechten erhoben hat, hoch über jegliche Hoheit und Gewalt, Macht und Herrschaft und über jeden Namen, der nicht nur in dieser Weltzeit, sondern auch in der künftigen genannt …More
Leo XIV called Vladimir Putin from his hospital bed, just three days after undergoing lung cancer surgery, to request a humanitarian ceasefire in Oleshky, Ukraine. “It was the Holy Father himself who took the initiative,” confirmed Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin. “I hope that, faced with a request from the Holy Father, President Putin will agree to put into practice what has been asked of him,” Parolin added.
Diplomazia dall’ospedale – La telefonata tra Putin e Leone XIV è stata un’iniziativa del Papa per mediare nella guerra contro l’Ucraina «È stato il Santo Padre a prendere l’iniziativa» della telefonata al presidente russo Putin, «per perorare la causa di questa città assediata, nella quale si trovano circa 2.000 civili che hanno bisogno di vie di fuga, di corridoi umanitari. Credo che il Papa abbia chiesto una tregua per consentire sia l’arrivo di aiuti umanitari, in particolare di generi alimentari, sia l’evacuazione di coloro che devono lasciare la città». È quanto ha affermato il Segretario di Stato vaticano, il cardinale Pietro Parolin, dopo la telefonata tra Leone XIV e Putin. «Spero — ha aggiunto — che, di fronte a una richiesta del Santo Padre, il presidente Putin, per così dire, accetti di mettere in pratica ciò che gli è stato chiesto».

Katie Zacharia Is Out After 5 Days as White House Press Secretary nytimes.com/…politics/katie-zacharia-fired-press-… The ouster came as Ms. Zacharia was shadowed by questions about how she had presented her legal career and handled her first press briefing. By Shawn McCreeshTyler Pager and Hamed Aleaziz Oct. 16, 2026, 1:33 p.m. ET President Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, was fired Friday, after less than a week on the job, according to three people familiar with the matter. Neither the White House nor Ms. Zacharia responded to requests for comment. But Mr. Trump told reporters on Friday that he had encouraged Ms. Zacharia to “reconsider” the job. “Honestly, if I were you, I’d reconsider,” he said, recounting his conversation with his press secretary. He added: “Katie, do you need this? I don’t think you need this.” Ms. Zacharia had gotten off to a bumpy start with her first and final press briefing on Tuesday, followed by an onslaught of headlines about whether she had …More
Behind a White House Feud That Is Bitter Even by Trump-Era Standards nytimes.com/…tics/alina-habba-mildon-richard-gren… Two Trump allies — Alina Habba Mildon and Richard Grenell — are locked in a raging dispute that has its roots in the battle for a share of the spoils in Venezuela. By Tyler Pager and Anatoly Kurmanaev Oct. 15, 2026 The accusations were shocking. Alina Habba Mildon, who had been one of President Trump’s personal lawyers, stormed into the Oval Office last week intent on taking down another prominent ally of the president. Her target was Richard Grenell, who had earlier served as Mr. Trump’s special envoy to Venezuela and as head of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Mrs. Mildon had just married a Turkish investor, Turhan Mildon, who has extensive business holdings in Venezuela. He had been in regular contact with Mr. Grenell the previous year both about Venezuela and about supporting the Kennedy Center. But now Mrs. Mildon was telling Mr. Trump that …More
@john333 Yes they most certainly are. But so much more than that. It will be Russia lead by The Immaculate Heart of Mary to convert the world. To bring peace throughout the world. To destroy evil. And to let the world know and love The Immaculate Heart of Mary. Which they already do now and always did. Their love for The Blessed Mother was always with them. Won wars with Our Lady of Kazan. Miracles through her. Including a miracle of Our Lady of Sorrows, healing the man she asked to place a Picture of her in their Church. And yet, so much more.
Cookies and they want us to create a free account. Can explain explain what it's about? There will be no more ceasefires! How many times did Putin agree to them and the US and others involved gave Zelensky INTEL to bomb inside of Russia? I lost count how many times. Russia is looking for a complete peace treaty to be held up by Ukraine who is controlled by the US and West. Who can blame him? I think Russia has shown more than enough patience in the past several decades with the West and US. Broken treaties, lies, broken promises and all else. Russia sill kept her patience. All thanks in the past few decades by President V. V. Putin!
Three Catholic dioceses in northern England have proposed merging into one amid declining numbers. Bishop Marcus Stock has submitted a report to Pope Leo XIV recommending the unification of Leeds, Middlesbrough and Hallam, which together serve approximately 496,000 Catholics in 193 parishes. Monsignor Stock, Bishop of Leeds since 2014, also serves as Apostolic Administrator of Middlesbrough and Hallam. The recommendation follows an extensive consultation involving priests, deacons, religious communities, lay Catholics, diocesan councils, trustees and Catholic schools. Nine in-person meetings were held, and an online questionnaire received 840 responses. The consultation found broad support among clergy and openness among lay Catholics to unification, provided local identities are respected. Diocesan leaders unanimously supported recommending the merger to Rome. The proposal comes amid declining participation and clergy numbers. Between 2000 and 2025, Mass attendance fell by 52%, baptisms …More
Sometimes the people we love such as our family members; God Almighty needs to bring them to conversion and repentance of their life that's leading them to Hell, the LONG and HARD way such as I'll health and suffering as we are experiencing currently in the family, and God's Ways (which I sometimes don't understand) and in His Wisdom and Great Love are working with our loved one. Trust Our Lord and the prayers and help of His Holy Mother at all times.
I always enjoy reading about Claude Newman. Thank you @Servant Of Divine Mercy And why I have a hard time with the death penalty. Every life taken is a chance for a person's conversion.
Leo XIV appointed two bishops closely connected to Madrid's existing administration. Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed two new auxiliary bishops for the Archdiocese of Madrid, Spain: Fernando Murga Gómez and Andrés Martínez Esteban. Leo XIV Reinforces Cobo’s Leadership in Madrid According to InfoVaticana.com, Murga is one of Cardinal Cobo's closest collaborators. Martínez Esteban represents the less progressive clergy. VidaNuevaDigital.com reports today that both appointments match the profile Cardinal Cobo personally requested. Cardinal Cobo of Madrid is known for homosex scandals like receiving a homosexual group. One controversy is his association with Father José Castro Cea (“Josete”), who reportedly lived next door to him and appeared in a gay-bar video. InfoVaticana alleged that Cobo protected the homosex priest for years. Auxiliary Bishop Fernando Murga Gómez, 61, originally trained as an architect and worked in that profession before entering the priesthood. Ordained for Madrid on …More

Something is not right with this of course. As the Russian soldiers go into each section of a town destroyed, mainly by Zelensky and his men which i have posted time and time again. Behind them are trucks and ambulances, builders and aid for the people in the area. Also I have posted of the Chechen soldiers going in and dropping off aid as they advanced and taking the people out of the area as well. And of course I also posted how the Ukrainians who were left behind were being attacked by Ukraine! While the Russians were trying to drop off food and water to them. One was from a drone. Besides Putin and Russia doesn't need anyone to tell them what to do. What is right and so on. They already know and the only ones doing something about it all.
