Synodality in Action: During the Holy Thursday liturgy, Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte, North Carolina, delegated the foot-washing ritual to lay men and women.

2014 में, फादर जोसफ इलो सैन कैलिफोर्निया के सं फ्रांसिस्को के "स्टार ऑफ़ द सी" पारिश के प्रशासक बने। तब से, जन प्रार्थना उपस्थिति और पारिशवासियो की संख्या में प्रतिवर्ष 20 प्रतिशत की बढ़ोत्तरी हुई है। cruxnow.com के अनुसार पारिशो की समृद्धि का कारण "कैथोलिक परम्पराओ" की शक्तिशाली प्रतिबद्धता" है।प्रार्थना अंग्रेजी और लैटिन में की जाती है और ग्रेगोरियन मंत्र और पॉलीफोनी की सुविधा देती है। कम्युनियन को कम्युनियन रेल पर वितरित किया जाता है लेंट में, प्रार्थना "विज्ञापन उन्मुख" किया जाता है और एक दैनिक पारंपरिक लैटिन प्रार्थना भी की जाती है। तीन परिश्वासी प्रधान पादरी के छेत्रधिकार के सेमिनरी में प्रवेश कर गए और चौथे डोमिनिकन में शामिल हो गए । चित्र: Star of the Sea Parish, #newsVbjfbicgac
By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? McGovern thinks that Putin is trying to talk sense into trump. With Putin giving him the real cold Turkey saying, we can't let this go on so that Israel is destroyed and has no other option than to use nukes. It's always President Putin who tries to restore and make peace. This is why Russia is so Blessed. And why some hate the fact Putin was not involved in the epstein files as they had hoped. I lost count this year alone on how many times President Putin and Russia was rewarded for helping out others. No matter how much some try to make us hate Russia or Putin, the facts always speak louder than words. And they just can't handle that. By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
04/04/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. “An Inconvenient Study” – A film that leaves no stone unturned…Kla.TV has dubbed this weighty documentary with enormous explosive power in German. Back in 2016, the Henry Ford Health System in Michigan conducted what is probably the most comprehensive vaccinated-to-unvaccinated comparative study on over 18,000 children, nearly 2,000 of whom were completely unvaccinated. And then? Nothing happened for eight years. Complete break in contact with the study’s sponsor. This film shows how, after all these years, the study was finally published and what its revolutionary findings are. Source. The rapid pace of global events draws our attention to the current developments in the Gulf War, while causing us to forget the unpunished crimes of past wars. The tragedy of a world war waged with biological weapons—known as COVID-19—serves, despite millions of victims, merely as a backdrop for further acts of genocide. How does the bombing of Tehran or …
We are on the same page dear cardinal. So, now please abolish novus ordo. For ever.
«L’Église a abimé la liturgie de la messe. Elle est trop bruyante ! C’est comme si on se célébrait nous-même. C’est devenu un moment convivial, alors que nous sommes là pour adorer Dieu, il faut une liturgie qui adore Dieu. On ne parle plus du salut et de l’âme !», se désole le cardinal Robert Sarah dans Le Club Le Figaro
On Holy Thursday, Cardinal Luis José Rueda Aparicio of Bogotá, Colombia, washed the feet of homosexual prostitutes (“transgender sex workers”). This act mirrors similar gestures made by Pope Francis.
Arzobispo Primado de Colombia, monseñor Luis José Rueda, lavó los pies a un grupo de personas de la comunidad trans y de mujeres trabajadoras sexuales en el barrio Santa Fe, zona de tolerancia de Bogotá
First remember, it was trump who called Putin 3 weeks ago for help out of the mess he made. Yet didn't listen to him. Now they are turning to Putin to help end this madness that trump and bibi made. Unfortunately, not even Putin can stop this. That is not what GOD wants. That is not His Will for peace. Not our time. ------------- As the U.S.-Israel military campaign against Iran intensifies into a full regional crisis, Gulf and Arab capitals have abandoned Washington as their diplomatic anchor and are converging on Moscow — with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, and leaders from the UAE, Oman, and Turkey all reaching directly to Vladimir Putin in an unprecedented geopolitical realignment. Putin, positioning Russia as the region's sole credible stabilizer, has formally opened what the Kremlin is calling a coordinated mediation track — with spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirming Russia stands ready to make its "strongest contribution" to …अधिक
On Holy Thursday, Leo XIV washed and kissed the feet of 12 priests in the Lateran Basilica. In his homily, he remembered his predecessor: "As Pope Francis once remarked: 'This is a duty that comes from the heart. I love it. I love it and I love doing it, because that is what the Lord has taught me to do.' He was not speaking of an abstract imperative or a formal, empty command, but rather expressing his heartfelt obedience to the charity of Christ, the source and model of our own charity."
Il Giovedì Santo, Papa Leone XIV lava i piedi a 12 sacerdoti.
I am glad Pope Leo XIV has carried out the washing of the feet in a traditional, more dignified and proper way. But, I just don't get this "kissing the feet" thing. The Gospel of St. John tells us Jesus washed the feet of His Apostles, it says nothing about kissing them. I have seen this kissing before and I find it cringey! It comes across - to me - as one-upping Our Lord Jesus, a kind of false humility (like the Francis) or virtue-signaling! Personally, I have never kissed feet during the washing of the feet. In the past it was done (or had the possibility of been done) at a separate ceremony. Now days in many places the whole thing is abused and a bit of a circus. The only feet I'd kiss are the crucified feet of our Lord Jesus Christ. Laudetur Iesus Christus!
22 सितंबर को वेटिकन ने बिशप की नियुक्ति पर कम्युनिस्ट चीन के साथ सौदा किया है। विवरण अभी तक ज्ञात नहीं हैं। कार्डिनल पिट्रो पेरोलिन ने VaticanNews.va पर दावा किया कि दशकों में पहली बार चीन में सभी रोम के बिशप के साथ कम्यूनियन में हैं "। VaticanNews.va के अनुसार सात प्रशासन बिशपों को पूर्ण एक्लेजियल कम्यूनियन में शामिल भर्ती कराया जाता है: जोसेफ जिंकाई, जोसेफ बिंगज़ांग, पॉल शियान, जोसेफ सिन्होंग, जोसेफ यिंगलिन, जोसेफ फूशेंग और विन्सेंट सिलू। जब शियान को 2011 में चीनी कम्युनिस्टों द्वारा एक बिशप को पवित्र किया गया था, तो LaStampa.it ने लिखा था कि वह एक महिला के साथ मिलकर रहता है और उसके पास एक बच्चा है। पिछले दशक में, चीन में ईसाईयों का उत्पीड़न के साथ हजारों क्रॉस हटा दिए गये, सैकड़ों चर्च ध्वस्त कर दिए गए और कम से कम 300 ईसाई गिरफ्तार हुए। #newsFecgevybjx
Pope Leo leads Way of the Cross at the Colosseum| Shalom World News In a powerful and deeply symbolic gesture, Pope Leo added to this year’s Good Friday observance a living testimony of his own faith. At Rome’s Colosseum, he did more than preside— the 70-year-old pontiff carried the Cross himself through every station of the Via Crucis, marking a rare and historic departure from recent papal practice. This marks the first time in decades that a pope carried the cross to every station. His predecessors, Benedict XVI and John Paul II, bore the Cross only briefly, while Francis, in later years, watched from a distance due to frailty. As thousands gathered beneath the dark Roman sky, candlelight flickered against ancient stone, illuminating a scene both solemn and stirring. With each step, the Pope’s quiet endurance echoed the Passion itself—each movement heavy with prayer, each pause steeped in meaning. In that sacred silence, the act became more than remembrance. It became an encounter …अधिक
Franciscan Father Francesco Patton wrote the meditations for tonight's Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum in Rome with Pope Leo XIV. Fr Patton served as Custos of the Holy Land from 2016 to 2025. On April 1, he told VaticanNews.va that the inspiration comes from "current reality" and that the meditations are meant to inspire political "change". The Vatican press office published the text today. Traditionally a penitential and contemplative devotion, the Via Crucis is repurposed here as a vehicle for contemporary socio-political reflection. The text shifts from the Passion of Christ to war, refugees, human trafficking, surveillance, deportation, the media, the economy, prisons, hostages, and crackdowns on protests. Notably absent, however, are abortion, euthanasia, and gender ideology. One acclamation reads: "For migrants, the displaced, and refugees: Comfort us, O Mother." In the first station, the meditation talks about political and economic power "to start or end a war… the power …अधिक
