Archbishop Alexander Sample of Portland, Oregon, has renewed a 2018 directive requiring the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel to be recited after Eucharists across the Archdiocese. The instruction was included in a May 12 pastoral letter published on ArchdPdx.org The prayer should be said “after the conclusion of every Mass celebrated in the archdiocese,” describing it as part of a spiritual response to challenges facing the Church. The “Mission Renewal” initiative includes consecration of the archdiocese to the Sacred Heart, novenas, Eucharistic processions, fasting and penance, and works of mercy. Explaining the reason for the prayer, Archbishop Sample wrote that “Satan seeks to divide, disrupt and interfere,” adding that united prayer against “the enemy” is crucial for renewal efforts. #newsIchjizaoee
One of the best and greatest Bishops that the Church has in the United States today. Thank God for His Excellency, Archbishop Sample. A phenomenal, faithful and holy Shepherd.
[St. Bernard of Clairvaux – XI-XII Century AD; born: Burgundy, Kingdom of France/died: Clairvaux, Kingdom of France; (aged 62-63); Abbot; Mystic; Leader; co-founder of the Knights Templar; Last of the Fathers; Doctor Mellifluus] Chapter VII. Of love toward God not without reward: and how the hunger of man's heart cannot be satisfied with earthly things And now let us consider what profit we shall have from loving God. Even though our knowledge of this is imperfect, still that is better than to ignore it altogether. I have already said (when it was a question of wherefore and in what manner God should be loved) that there was a double reason constraining us: His right and our advantage. Having written as best I can, though unworthily, of God's right to be loved. I have still to treat of the recompense which that love brings. For although God would be loved without respect of reward, yet He wills not to leave love unrewarded. True charity cannot be left destitute, even though she is …Kara
"On a lower plane of action, it is the reluctant, not the eager, whom we urge by promises of reward. Who would think of paying a man to do what he was yearning to do already? For instance no one would hire a hungry man to eat, or a thirsty man to drink, or a mother to nurse her own child. Who would think of bribing a farmer to dress his own vineyard, or to dig about his orchard, or to rebuild his house? So, all the more, one who loves God truly asks no other recompense than God Himself; for if he should demand anything else it would be the prize that he loved and not God."
Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts of ’s-Hertogenbosch says he was silenced on the spot (“gecanceld”) after questioning the ideology of a self-described inclusive parish. Writing on his blog on April 29, Monsignor Mutsaerts recounted celebrating the Sacrament of Confirmation at a parish with a rainbow flag outside the church. Before the entrance procession began, the bishop asked one of the boys preparing for Confirmation what he thought of the flag. The teenager shrugged and replied that he would rather have seen a PSV football flag hanging there. After the Eucharist, parishioners told Mutsaerts that they considered themselves an “LGBTQ church” and a “Rainbow Church.” During conversations afterward at the coffee table, the bishop began questioning what such churches mean when they describe themselves as “inclusive.” Monsignor Mutsaerts argued that every church necessarily has boundaries because every church teaches truths about morality, human nature, and faith. In his view, the …Kara
THE WORD IS GOD St. John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word: the Word was with God And the Word was God”. 2) St. John 6:63 "It is the Spirit that gives life; the flesh has nothing to offer, The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are Life" 3) Psalm 119, 99-100 “I have more knowledge than all my teachers, because my meditation is your decrees. I am wiser than the ancients, because I keep thy statutes”. 4) St. John 15:3 ; “You are already clean because of the word that I have spoken to you”. 5) Jeremiah 1,12: Yahweh said, "Well seen ! I too watch over my word to see it fulfilled." 6) Ephesians 6,17: “Receive the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God”. 7) Hebrew 4,12: “The word of God is something alive and active: it cuts like any double-edged sword but more finely: it can slip through the place where the soul is divided from the spirit, or joints from the marrow; it can judge the secret emotions and thoughts. No created thing can hide from him; everything is …Kara
"The Gospel of Jesus Christ is an end in itself," Bishop Erik Varden of Trondheim, Norway, told OsvNews.com on 11 May during a trip to the USA. "Any attempt to instrumentalise the Gospel for a subsidiary purpose, whether cultural, ideological or political, is suspect." He warned against "any attempt to brandish Christianity void of the message and presence of the Wounded and Risen One". And: "Any presentation of Christianity that abstracts the scandal of the Cross, or that uses the Cross perversely as a weapon with which to strike others, is veering towards heresy or even blasphemy." However, the main focus of the interview is psychology, not religion. Some of his main points are: - absolutizing our own experience - immersed in my own experience - the drama of my existence - learn to live with my wound - being wounded is the human norm - a remembrance of healing - living enclosed in ourselves - shut myself off - a new way of being human - a human life is a drawn-out affair Picture: …Kara

On May 6, a man vandalized La Ermita Church in Cali, Colombia. Seven statues were destroyed, including images of the Virgin of Sorrows and the Risen Christ. The suspect was arrested at the scene.
A serious case of vandalism was reported a few minutes ago at the La Ermita chapel in Cali.
Not very smart nor charitable. Another example of legal positivism that is a residue from the Begoglian epoch. If you hold an ecclesial office you don't need justification for rules. Like the kid who asks his father: Why ? and the old man answers: Because I said so.

Bishop Athanasius Schneider criticized the Final Report of Study Group No. 9 on homosexuality in an interview with Diane Montagna on May 12. The report - published by the Secretariat of the Synod of Bishops, an organ of the Holy See - has "stooped to promoting the propaganda of a global sexual ideology". Thus, the Holy See is “collaborating with lobbyists in a true revolt against God’s work of creation.” Salami Tactics to Declare Homosexuality Acceptable Monsignor Schneider recalls that the legitimization of homosexuality was already on the agenda at Pope Francis’ first Synod on the Family (2015). This culminated in the promulgation of Fiducia Supplicans (2023): “Fiducia Supplicans is a mockery of common sense. It speaks of the possibility of blessing homosexual couples, not officially and liturgically, but spontaneously. According to the document, the object of the blessing is the homosexual couple, and not their relationship. But being a ‘couple’ is derived precisely from the …Kara
The supposed catholic gay apologists hold a completely illogical position. Masturbation is a sin, fornication with the opposite sex is a sin but yet somehow unnatural homosexual acts are not sinful. Or they legalize all sex acts saying that the 6th and 9th commandments are no longer in force. Lust has blinded their judgment.

Auxiliary Bishop Rob Mutsaerts of Den Bosch is believed to have suffered a blackout while driving home from Helvoirt, reports Nd.nl. On Saturday evening, he was at the Emmaus retreat centre in Helvoirt, hearing confessions. On the way home, he drove his car into a tree. Further examinations will need to determine how he suddenly left the road. He sustained a dislocated hip, as well as fractures to his pelvis and elbow, and spent some time in intensive care on Sunday. The diocese has confirmed that he is conscious and able to communicate. Upon learning of the accident on Sunday, Bishop Gerard de Korte of Den Bosch immediately called Mutsaerts. De Korte stated: “He remembers absolutely nothing about the accident. That part is completely gone. He has suffered several injuries, but he is stable.” Bishop Mutsaerts may be able to make a full recovery. #newsYsmuozdzwv
God may have given animals less intelligence than us, but nobody will ever convince me He didn't give them souls--eternal souls. I think we'll find Heaven a lot more crowded than we've been led to believe.
On Friday, Leo XIV. visited Naples Cathedral. Shortly before his arrival, the blood of Saint Januarius reportedly liquefied off-schedule. The miracle traditionally occurs three times a year and has also been linked to earlier papal visits, including that of Pius IX in 1848. During visits by John Paul II in 1979 and Benedict XVI in 2007, the miracle did not occur. Francis witnessed a partial liquefaction in 2015.

Our Lady’s prayers are so powerful! e.l.f Cosmetics co-founder Deacon Scott Borba will be ordained a priest on May 23, 2026, in the Diocese of Fresno, California. Deacon Borba is a former esthetician, actor, model, author, and singer who gave up his multimillion-dollar career to answer a call to the priesthood. He spent over 20 years working in the health and beauty industry, and donated all of his wealth to charity after answering a lifelong call to the priesthood at the age of 42. According to Angelus News, Borba said God called him to the priesthood at the age of 10, but he “accepted late.” He also told his conversion story to yourcentralvalley.com in a 2019 interview, explaining that “God has blessed me with everything under the sun.” Borba said he asked God to allow him to fulfill multiple dreams, to which he felt the Lord say “yes.” “He not only blessed me with blessed me with money, and awareness, and just every business I had, he allowed me to have success with it,” Borba …
A advertisement for a French perfume brand appeared on the LED screens covering the façade and apse of Rome’s Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. This prompted a group of residents and worshippers from the Monti district to send a protest letter to the Archpriest Rolandas Makrickas, criticising what they described as the “commercialisation” of the historic basilica. The screens were installed during restoration works that began in late 2024. Back then, Vatican officials said the advertising revenue helps cover renovation costs ahead of the Jubilee.
La pubblicità di un noto profumo francese sulla facciata della basilica patriarcale di Santa Maria Maggiore è stata la goccia che ha fatto di nuovo traboccare il vaso facendo insorgere un gruppo di fedeli del quartiere Monti che, alquanto sbigotti, hanno inviato una lettera di protesta al cardinale arciprete Rolandas Mackrikas. «In quanto membri del Comitato cittadino del Rione Monti e residenti del Rione, vi scriviamo per esprimervi il nostro profondo sgomento per i due enormi cartelloni pubblicitari luminosi sulla facciata e sull’abside della veneranda Basilica». Il gruppo di fedeli si chiede se sia necessario ricorrere a pubblicità tanto appariscenti che nulla hanno a che fare con l'atmosfera e il luogo sacro. Dal volto di Sinner che fa da testimonial ad una marca di caffè, piuttosto che all'ultimo modello di uno smartphone, fino a un profumo.
