HOW LONG DO SOULS REMAIN IN PURGATORY? The length of time souls are detained in Purgatory depends on: a) the number of their faults; b) the malice and deliberation with which these have been committed; c) the penance done, or not done, the satisfaction made, or not made for sins during life; d) Much, too, depends on the suffrages offered for them after death What can safely be said is that the time souls spend in Purgatory is, as a rule, very much longer than people commonly imagine. We will quote a few of the many instances which are recounted in the lives and revelations of the Saints. St. Louis Bertrand's father was an exemplary Christian, as we should naturally expect, being the father of so great a Saint. He had even wished to become a Carthusian monk until he learned that it was not God's will for him. When he died, after long years spent in the practice of every Christian virtue, his saintly son, fully aware of the rigors of God's Justice, offered many Masses and poured forth the …More
On Saturday, more than 1,000 Catholics took part in a Eucharistic Rosary procession through Derry in Northern Ireland. The procession was part of the first Worldwide Marian Procession, held in conjunction with around 400 parishes and 50 Marian shrines worldwide. The public prayer, which brought the streets to a standstill, was supported by Bishop Donal McKeown of Derry.
Who could forget John Vennari. I listened to every talk and conference he had. Any time he was a guest on another show. And of course watched all or most of his show on The Fatima Center. When The Fatima Center was worth it. Without John and Father Gruner, the show died with them. In the first post the owner of the this Catholic site wrote: On Tuesday, April 4, the day of the week dedicated to the Holy Face and in the month dedicated to the Holy Face, John Vennari died. There is no way that this date was incidental as there is no coincidence with God and Our Lady. Mr. Vennari had a great devotion to the Holy Face and made a point to publish articles regularly on the practice of the devotion to Our Lord's Holy Face and the efficacy of such a devotion. I was taught and heard that anyone who is born or dies on a great Feast Day is a good sign for that person. Anyone else ever hear of it? I am highlighting what she wrote for a reason. ------- A second post Rest in Peace, John Vennari ------- …More

Real-world example of private industry vs. government bureaucracy. Compare: SpaceX founded in 2002: $12B in capital invested VOLUNTARILY to transport humans, satellites and rockets into SPACE. California High-Speed-Rail started in 2008: $15B+ FORCED from taxpayers to build a high-speed rail system to transport only humans across the EARTH. Results: SpaceX spent $12B: Revolutionized rockets, satellites, and space travel. Over 15,000 payloads launched into space, over 12,000 Starlink satellites deployed, over 99% success rate across Falcon launches. California High-Speed-Rail spent $15B: After 17 years, still has not transported a single passenger to any destination anywhere on the planet. Consequences: SpaceX - Success Goes public over $2T increases shareholder valuation thousands of percent and humanity benefits. California High-Speed-Rail - Failure Taxpayers zero recourse to recover wasted $15B+. No politician held liable. No contractor accountable. All money is simply RIP. If you were …More
Mark Carney’s Liberals made international headlines once again — this time for claiming that asking for the definition of “woman” is “highly offensive.” At a meeting of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Science and Research on science policy, federal research grants, DEI, and women in STEM, Conservative MP Vincent Neil Ho asked Canadian Chief Science Advisor Dr. Mona Nemer about her background as a molecular geneticist. Nemer confirmed her credentials, and Ho asked, “So you know a thing or two about X and Y chromosomes. So, I want to ask you, what is the definition of a woman?” Liberal MP John-Paul Danko immediately interrupted. “Point of order, Chair. Point of order! It is Pride Month and under Standing Order 18, which prohibits personal attacks, insults, and offensive language, the accusation — the question is highly offensive. Highly offensive. I ask the member to withdraw his comments.” The chair told Ho to “be respectful of everybody,” and he tried again. “Thank …
06/16/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. When we realize that medicine is not about curing patients, but at best about alleviating symptoms that, in most cases, the patients have caused themselves, we face a dilemma: What should we do when faced with serious health problems? A large part of a family doctor’s work consists of adjusting lab values to often incorrectly defined thresholds using prescribed chemical substances, whereby these substances affect more than just the values of selected test results. An excellent example of this is the cholesterol myth, but it is not the only one. The concept of “bad cholesterol” itself is based on a distorted “interpretation” of studies on the link between cholesterol levels and coronary heart disease that were conducted long ago in Japan and Germany. The deception lay in discarding all cases that did not fit this false theory. Add to this the large-scale propaganda in the media, and a pseudo-reality emerges in which, instead of healing, we …
Trump is asking where all the money in Ukraine has gone, and he estimates that they've poured in about 350 billion dollars. Trump knows that this money is being diverted and that this entire conflict is just a massive money laundering operation.
@Instaurare Omnia in Christo No proof, here, right now. Not even one! I just showed you three proofs regarding the "errors of Russia.". Three different sources that you didn't refute. Okay well you did say, "An old article." But actually that doesn't refute anything. Oh and something "RIGHT FROM PUTIN'S MOUTH," isn't proof, that is propaganda. In case you didn't know the KGB is an elite foreign espionage agency. "Putin served in the KGB from 1975 to 1991, reaching the rank of lieutenant colonel." So they are trained in espionage and lying you are going to believe them. Ok. And you said one writer was "untrustworthy" but that isn't proof either. At least you didn't try to get me to watch an RT video! LOL! You believe those are the Gospel truth!
Lord Bebo @MyLordBebo DRONE MANUFACTURING SITE HIDDEN AMONG CIVILIANS Russia struck the legendary film studio Dovzhenko, and according to Ukrainian sources destroyed 1,000 legendary film costumes. But why? -> Because the footage Ukrainian emergency services posted from the destroyed site pro turned into a drone manufacturing site. Why does Ukraine hide drone manufacturing in such important sites!? Russia destroyed an FP2 drone manufacturing site hidden in a civilian TV studio. Ukrainian sources deleted the posts quickly, but the internet is forever.
More proof that when Russia strikes anything, it's what they were aiming at. And it will never be civilians. Ukraine always targets hospitals in Russia, as well as their own in Ukraine, schools, shopping centers and so on. Even leaving landmines for children to step on so they can maim them.
Today, Pope Leo XIV received a delegation from the United Jewish Appeal-Federation of New York (UJA-Federation) in the Apostolic Palace. Founded in 1917, the UJA-Federation is among the world's largest Jewish philanthropic organizations, supporting “the poor”, refugees, and other vulnerable populations in New York, Israel, and more than seventy countries worldwide. Welcoming the delegation, Leo XIV praised the organization as an instrument of global Jewish philanthropy. It demonstrates a profound commitment to human fraternity that resonates with the Church's own vision of integral human development. Leo XIV Rejects Discrimination Based on Religion Leo XIV recalled that sixty-six years ago, in 1960, Pope John XXIII welcomed a delegation from the same organization with the memorable words, "I am Joseph, your brother" (Genesis 45:4). Then, Leo XIV observed that this encounter helped inspire a new era in Catholic-Jewish relations and contributed to the development of the Second Vatican …More
Great St. Francis de Sales ~~~ It is right that you should begin again every day. There is no better way to complete the spiritual life than to be ever beginning it...
Lavrov stated that US envoy Witkoff and Kushner will arrive in Russia “soon” Lavrov said that the Kremlin wants to hear from the American representatives “how the Americans plan to fulfill the agreements” concluded by Trump and Putin in Alaska.
Very sad. Very sad indeed. I would love to ask Mr Lavrov and President Putin. Are you kidding me or what? When someone who has played with you for years since his first administration. Put the most sanctions on you out of all the president before him. And still at it. When this same president trump brags he was the first to give javelins to Ukraine. Why do you still trust him? Why do you still depend on him to fulfill anything at all he said. Both Lavrov and Putin saw how many times alone he struck Iran while in talks. They both know how they were stealing oil tankers, including theirs. And yet they still think trump is sincere? The same people who trust our government not to go one more inch closer to Russian boarders without signing agreements. But then again, they would be useless as well as they have torn up deals, peace treaties and such many times before. I wish they would give it up and just finish off the small sections left to liberate. And stop thinking anyone, most especially …More
