Another hospital strike in Russia. Russian hospitals hit, strikes on kindergartens: … Why do they always go after children, hospitals, apartment buildings when they bomb their own and other countries? Always the civilians. These are evil people who care nothing for life. But that's ok, every time they go after Russia, Russia comes out a winner. Every time! Has no one noticed this yet?

This miracle involving the Virgin Mary occurred on 25 March 1976 and involved Maria Esperanza Medrano de Bianchini, who continued to experience apparitions at the same location throughout 1976 and the following two years. She was a resident of the village, where she claimed to see the Virgin Mary. This apparition was approved by the Catholic Church on November 21, 1987. The Eucharistic Miracle is now housed in a convent in nearby Los Teques. One of the alleged mystical experiences occurred occasionally when a red rose would blossom from Maria Esperanza's chest. Apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary were reported and eventually a small chapel was built here and the faithful began to gather, especially on Feast Days but throughout the year. Many people reported seeing the Blessed Virgin Mary here as well as reports of cures. Place name The name Betania means Bethany in Spanish.

Children’s Health Defense @ChildrensHD RFK Jr. says the way Americans are fed would be considered an act of war if a foreign enemy did it. “The food is affecting everything that we do.” “This is warfare.” “If a foreign enemy or adversary did this to our country, we’d consider it an act of war.” “And we are poisoning our children at scale, at a cellular level.” “And it needs to stop.”
#FlatEarth If you are able to prove to an atheist that the Bible is right. That there was no collapse or explosion that made the sun come first. Then you have made that atheist believe Genesis 1:1. ------------------------------------------------- But if the atheist is able to convince you that the sun came first, then you have to believe the source of the atheist. You have to believe one.
"This exercise of doing all things with the single aim to please God alone seems hard at first, but will become plain and easy by practice, if, with the warmest affections of the heart, we desire God alone, and long for Him as our only and most perfect good; Who deserves that all creatures should seek Him for Himself, and serve Him and love Him above all things."
[Father Dom Lorenzo Scupoli – XVI-XVII Century AD; Otranto, Kingdom of Naples/Naples, Kingdom of Naples; (aged 79-80); Priest; Spiritual Writer] “Chapter X ~ Of the Exercise of the Will, and the end to which all our actions, whether Interior or Exterior, should tend. Besides this necessary exercise of the understanding, you must so regulate your will that it may not be left to follow its own desires, but may be in all things conformed to the Divine pleasure. And remember, that it is not enough only to strive after those things which are most pleasing to God; but you must so will them, and so do them, as moved thereto by Him, and with a view to please Him alone. In this exercise of the will, even more than in that of the understanding, we shall meet with strong opposition from nature, which seeks itself and its own ease and pleasure in all things; but especially in such as are holy and spiritual. It delights itself in these, feeding greedily upon them as upon wholesome food. As soon, …More

How long does Leo think he will be allowed to sit on the chair of St. Peter while allowing all this homo-blasphemy not only to continue but to metastasize throughout the Mystical Body of Christ?!!! The strike of lightening on the dome of St. Peter this week is a warning!

If Israel was able to do this on their own, why drag the US into it. Why did trump help? Everyone is finding out the only way to win a war with Iran is with nukes. That will be coming next as they are getting angrier more and more.
