Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 13,1-15. Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to pass from this world to the Father. He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end. The devil had already induced Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot, to hand him over. So, during supper, fully aware that the Father had put everything into his power and that he had come from God and was returning to God, he rose from supper and took off his outer garments. He took a towel and tied it around his waist. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and dry them with the towel around his waist. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Master, are you going to wash my feet?" Jesus answered and said to him, "What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will understand later." Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus answered him, "Unless I wash you, you will have no inheritance with me." Simon Peter said to …More
Aus dem Heiligen Evangelium nach Johannes - Joh 13,1-15. Es war vor dem Paschafest. Jesus wusste, dass seine Stunde gekommen war, um aus dieser Welt zum Vater hinüberzugehen. Da er die Seinen liebte, die in der Welt waren, liebte er sie bis zur Vollendung. Es fand ein Mahl statt und der Teufel hatte Judas, dem Sohn des Simon Iskariot, schon ins Herz gegeben, ihn auszuliefern. Jesus, der wusste, dass ihm der Vater alles in die Hand gegeben hatte und dass er von Gott gekommen war und zu Gott zurückkehrte, stand vom Mahl auf, legte sein Gewand ab und umgürtete sich mit einem Leinentuch. Dann goss er Wasser in eine Schüssel und begann, den Jüngern die Füße zu waschen und mit dem Leinentuch abzutrocknen, mit dem er umgürtet war. Als er zu Simon Petrus kam, sagte dieser zu ihm: Du, Herr, willst mir die Füße waschen? Jesus sagte zu ihm: Was ich tue, verstehst du jetzt noch nicht; doch später wirst du es begreifen. Petrus entgegnete ihm: Niemals sollst du mir die Füße waschen! Jesus …More
Die EU „verstärkt den Druck“ und fordert die Ukraine auf, die Gesetze zur EU-Integration unverzüglich zu verabschieden. Diese könnten die Freigabe der Finanzmittel ermöglichen. Der Redakteur von Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty, Rikard Jozwiak, berichtete, dass die EU-Kommissarin für Erweiterung, Marta Kos, ein Schreiben an die Werchowna Rada gerichtet habe, in dem sie dazu aufrief, im April elf Gesetzesvorlagen zu verabschieden, die eigentlich bereits 2025 hätten verabschiedet werden sollen. Diese Information wurde auch von der ukrainischen Zeitung "European Pravda" (… bestätigt. In dem Schreiben von Kos heißt es, dass die Verabschiedung der Gesetzesentwürfe nicht nur eine Voraussetzung für den Weg in die EU sei, sondern der Ukraine auch dabei helfen werde, Finanzmittel in Höhe von bis zu 4 Mrd. Euro zu erhalten. Die Zeitung erklärte, dass für die Bereitstellung der Mittel keine Einstimmigkeit in der EU erforderlich sei, d. h. Ungarn könne diese nicht blockieren. Der Abgeordnete …More
Aprajita Nafs Nefes Ancient Believer @aprajitanefes |In the Philippines, where oil reserves are on the verge of depletion, people are now walking to work. With only ~45 days of fuel left, Marcos declared a national energy emergency due to the Middle East conflict. Prices have doubled. Public transport is crippled. This is the real face of global energy wars the poor and import-dependent nations pay first and pay hardest. Share if you see the pattern. x.com/aprajitanefes/status/2037110722585567718
1. The War Was Predictably Destabilizing The speaker begins by saying any competent analyst should have known that attacking Iran would disrupt global energy markets. Iran has the capability to interfere with oil flows (especially in key shipping lanes), so economic fallout was a “known known”—not a surprise. 2. Failure to Build International Support They contrast this conflict with earlier U.S. wars: 1991 Gulf War: A broad coalition was built before combat—European allies, Arab states, and NATO partners were aligned. 2003 Iraq War: Even though controversial, the U.S. at least attempted to gain NATO backing and international legitimacy. Current situation: No real diplomatic effort was made to build a coalition. Europe is refusing to participate. European economies are already strained (e.g., from Russia sanctions), and this war is worsening their situation. Conclusion: The U.S. acted unilaterally and now stands isolated. 3. No Serious War Planning The speaker argues the war was launched …More
"#1 The War Was Predictably Destabilizing" Who benefits? Certainly not US interests. Destabilizing the region is exactly what Israel wants. Bibi's mission accomplished.
"He has come into our country and dwelt in one body amidst the many, and in consequence the designs of the enemy against mankind have been foiled and the corruption of death, which formerly held us in its power, has simply ceased to exist. For the human race would have perished utterly had not the Lord and Savior of all, the Son of God, come among us to put and end to death." Saint Athanasios of Alexandria

I had Grok break down Trump’s EO, and there were some interesting points: 1) This EO includes the involvement of DHS creating state citizenship lists for every state. DHS’s role in election security is expanding. 2) Mail-in ballots are being reformed, with “unique intelligent mail barcodes”, and these ballots can only be mailed to citizens on the state citizenship lists created by DHS and SSA. 3) The order also directs the AG to prioritize investigations and prosecutions of election-related crimes, particularly related to distributing/collecting illegal ballots to/from non-citizens. In conclusion, Trump is using DHS to secure elections via managing the voter rolls and preventing mail-in ballot fraud, while the DOJ has been instructed to prosecute any attempts to cheat. This is what the Dems have been worried about the entire time. This is why they have been refusing to fund DHS and throwing a fit about ICE. It was always about election security. BioClandestine
I found this one of the clearest summaries of what took place concerning election integrity. It’s not an option, not a choice but rather a decision to save the republic and by extension other peoples. It is my opinion that the Church is directly impacted as well.

I am relieved to hear that Lebanese Sunni Militias are blocking the entry of Al-Sharaa HTS forces into Lebanon. There are now some Christian and Druze towns defending their own also.
First Letter to the Corinthians 11,23-26. Brothers and sisters: I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, "This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.
Erster Brief des Apostels Paulus an die Korinther 11,23-26. Ich habe vom Herrn empfangen, was ich euch dann überliefert habe: Jesus, der Herr, nahm in der Nacht, in der er ausgeliefert wurde, Brot, sprach das Dankgebet, brach das Brot und sagte: Das ist mein Leib für euch. Tut dies zu meinem Gedächtnis! Ebenso nahm er nach dem Mahl den Kelch und sagte: Dieser Kelch ist der Neue Bund in meinem Blut. Tut dies, sooft ihr daraus trinkt, zu meinem Gedächtnis! Denn sooft ihr von diesem Brot esst und aus dem Kelch trinkt, verkündet ihr den Tod des Herrn, bis er kommt. angelyelina
Pope Leo XIV: “I'm told that President Trump recently stated that he would like to end the war. Hopefully he's looking for an 'off-ramp'. Hopefully he's looking for a way to decrease the amount of violence, of bombing, which would be a significant contribution to removing the hatred that's being created and that's increasing constantly in the Middle East and elsewhere. I appeal to all leaders, come back to the table, to dialogue. Let's look for solutions to problems, let's look for ways to reduce the amount of violence that we're promoting, that peace - especially at Easter - might reign in our hearts."
Leo XIV. fordert Trump auf, noch heute Abend einen Weg zu finden, den Krieg im Iran zu beenden. „Mir wurde berichtet, dass Präsident Trump kürzlich erklärt hat, er wolle den Krieg beenden. Hoffen wir, dass er nach einem Ausweg sucht, hoffen wir, dass er nach einem Weg sucht, die Gewalt und die Bombardierungen einzudämmen – was einen wesentlichen Beitrag dazu leisten würde, den Hass zu beseitigen, der sich im Nahen Osten und anderswo aufstaut und stetig wächst.“
Goku @ProjectGokuu Dr. Roger Seheult just revealed one of the biggest studies on sunlight. A massive Swedish study followed 30,000 women for over 20 years and found that those who actively sought sun exposure had dramatically lower death rates from cancer, heart disease, and all causes. The shocking part? Sun avoiders had roughly double the overall mortality. Even heavy smokers who got plenty of sun had similar death rates to non-smokers who avoided it. Sunlight appears to extend life through vitamin D, nitric oxide, and immune support - yet we're still told to hide from it. Are you getting enough sun? — Dr. Roger Seheult (@RogerSeheult) on Steven Bartlett’s (@StevenBartlett) DOAC podcast
Book of Exodus 12,1-8.11-14. The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, "This month shall stand at the head of your calendar; you shall reckon it the first month of the year. Tell the whole community of Israel: On the tenth of this month every one of your families must procure for itself a lamb, one apiece for each household. If a family is too small for a whole lamb, it shall join the nearest household in procuring one and shall share in the lamb in proportion to the number of persons who partake of it. The lamb must be a year-old male and without blemish. You may take it from either the sheep or the goats. You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, and then, with the whole assembly of Israel present, it shall be slaughtered during the evening twilight. They shall take some of its blood and apply it to the two doorposts and the lintel of every house in which they partake of the lamb. That same night they shall eat its roasted flesh with unleavened bread and …More
Buch Exodus 12,1-8.11-14. In jenen Tagen sprach der HERR zu Mose und Aaron im Land Ägypten: Dieser Monat soll die Reihe eurer Monate eröffnen, er soll euch als der Erste unter den Monaten des Jahres gelten. Sagt der ganzen Gemeinde Israel: Am Zehnten dieses Monats soll jeder ein Lamm für seine Familie holen, ein Lamm für jedes Haus. Ist die Hausgemeinschaft für ein Lamm zu klein, so nehme er es zusammen mit dem Nachbarn, der seinem Haus am nächsten wohnt, nach der Anzahl der Personen. Bei der Aufteilung des Lammes müsst ihr berücksichtigen, wie viel der Einzelne essen kann. Nur ein fehlerfreies, männliches, einjähriges Lamm darf es sein, das Junge eines Schafes oder einer Ziege müsst ihr nehmen. Ihr sollt es bis zum vierzehnten Tag dieses Monats aufbewahren. In der Abenddämmerung soll die ganze versammelte Gemeinde Israel es schlachten. Man nehme etwas von dem Blut und bestreiche damit die beiden Türpfosten und den Türsturz an den Häusern, in denen man es essen will. Noch in der …More
Saint Francis of Paola - April 2 Also known as Franciscus de Paula Francis the Fire Handler Francesco di Paola Francisco de Paula Memorial 2 April Profile Francis’ parents were childless for many years, but following prayers for the intercession of SaintFrancis of Assisi, they had three children; Francis was the oldest. Following a pilgrimage in his teens to Rome and Assisi in Italy, he became a hermit in a cave near Paola. Before he was 20 years old he began to attract followers. By the 1450‘s the followers had become so numerous that he established a Rule for them and sought Church approval. This was the founding of the Hermits of Saint Francis of Assisi, who were approved by the Holy See in 1474. In 1492 they were renamed the Franciscan Order of Minim Fiars, which means they count themselves the least of the family of God. Prophet. Miracle worker. Reputed to read minds. In 1464 Francis wanted to cross the Straits of Messina to reach Sicily, but a boatman …More

On March 28, a Lenten pilgrimage organized by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) was denied entry to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows in Cuceglio, near Turin, Italy. Despite being announced in advance, the church doors remained closed to the group, which included priests, religious sisters, and families who had walked several kilometers in devotion. The pilgrims had planned no Mass or formal liturgy - only a few concluding prayers. According to the local newspaper La Voce, the decision to close the gates to the pilgrims was made by the rector of the sanctuary, Don Luca Meinardi, and by Bishop Daniele Salera of Ivrea. The newspaper comments: "A choice that inevitably contradicts an ecclesiastical vocabulary which, in recent years, has emphasized words like welcome, inclusion, dialogue, and mercy." #newsSuicuzlbcj
