One day, as Agnes implored God in prayer to show her clearly what he seemed to be asking of her, St. Francis, St. Augustine, and St. Dominic appeared to her in a vision. Each Saint stood at the helm of his own ship, and invited her to join him on board. The poverty she had espoused as a Sister “del Sacco” endeared her to St. Francis; it was St. Augustine’s Rule she continued to follow as Abbess at Procena; but St Dominic spoke with authority: “Agnes will sail in my ship; that is the Will of God.” With that, he took her hand and drew her aboard.

Her story also has a Dominican post-script: only a few decades later, when St. Catherine of Siena visited St. Agnes’ tomb to venerate her incorrupt relics, the holy deceased nun actually raised her foot (lying there in the coffin) as the holy still-living tertiary bent to kiss it in reverence, so as to spare her the trouble of bending further down.

The Carmelite Monastery of Arlington, Texas, is now under the authority of the Carmelite Association "Christ the King in the USA" and no longer under the authority of the diocesan bishop. This was decided by the Vatican's Dicastery for Religious in a decree on 18 April. The president of the association is Mother Marie of the Incarnation. Six monasteries, including the Carmel of Arlington, belong to the Association. They follow the Roman Rite. Since June 2023, Mgr. Michael Olson, the Bishop of Fort Worth, has led the monastery as papal delegate. In the past, he had a major dispute with Mother Teresa Agnes Gerlach, the convent's superior, who is seriously ill. Both sides went to the police and to court. Mother Gerlach admitted to an online affair with a priest, but later said that her confession was made under the influence of medication. The diocese filed a complaint about alleged drug abuse at the convent, but police closed the investigation. Mgr. Olson stood by his allegations against …More

The Good Shepherd The Good Shepherd Liturgy of April 21st - Fourth Sunday of Easter Dear brothers and sisters, what is the spiritual experience that lies behind the metaphor of Jesus, the Good Shepherd who loves, knows, heals, strengthens and guides his sheep to green pastures and fresh, healthy waters? It is the experience we got every time that, tired and oppressed by our sins and by the inevitable adversities, injustices, violence and wars that life reserves for us, instead of despairing and feeling sorry for ourselves, we invoke Jesus, who is waiting for nothing else to make us feel, through of His Holy Spirit, His regenerating presence. In those moments, we feel like we are lifted high, capable of climbing the mountains of adversity and walking on the stormy seas of history. In those moments, we seem to perceive a foretaste of the immense joy that we will experience immersed in the Father's embrace of light in eternal life. This is a grace that empowers us and makes us capable of …More

Jesus says: “This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.” Mark, chapter 1, verse 15 If the kingdom of God is near, we are also close to God. Very often, when we make a small mistake, we think we are very far from God. But God did not move. He did not make this mistake for us and by us. However, he is right next to us. He remains close to us. More than that, he is in us. He Loves us and he wants us to be in him too. The best way to remain holy is to realize everything with Jesus, to keep him close to us, everywhere, to include him in our research, our thoughts, our activities. In spite of the fault, any fault, let’s return constantly to God. Jesus will convert us if we invite him to be our Lord and Saviour. We can also invite him to make himself present in the lives of all the people around us, at work, at home, at school, in the parish church, at the grocery store, in our travels. Keeping Jesus in our life guarantees us a simpler …More

Seven lay bishops of the Episcopal Church in New York State and Long Island are publicly battling the School of Sacred Music, a Catholic institution based in New York City. In late 2023, the school began using the chapel of the General Theological Seminary in Chelsea, New York, an institution of the Episcopal church. Every Tuesday and Thursday at 6pm, the school sings choral vespers with Gregorian chant and sacred polyphony in the chapel of the seminary. Now it has asked for a long-term contract, but the lay bishops are resisting on the grounds that the group's founder follows the Bible's teaching on homosexual sin. The Episcopal Church in the United States has long been infiltrated by homosexual propagandists. The School of Sacred Music is a subsidiary of the non-profit Ithuriel Fund, which has assets of more than $75 million. Its principal donor is Colin Moran, an investment fund manager who is also chairman and president of the Institute on Religion and Public Life. The Institute …More

This video, along with the written analysis referenced, are very well done on the errors of Vatican II regarding "religious freedom" -- leading to what Arch. Lefebvre speaks about in They Have Uncrowned Him. The V2 document on religious freedom, coupled with Nostra Aetate, gave us the Abu Dhabi Agreement and House, Pachamama, the invoking of the "Grandmother of the West" when PF visited Canada, and who knows where else this will lead. It's no wonder that in the authentic contents of the 3rd Secret of Fatima Our Lady warned of an "evil council," as Pope Benedict XVI revealed to his close friend Fr. Ingo Dollinger.

Francis has replaced Auxiliary Bishop Daniele Libanori, who was punished for his honesty and removed, with a parish priest. Mgr. Libanori was responsible for the central sector of the diocese of Rome. He will be replaced by Don Francesco Pesce, the current parish priest of Santa Maria ai Monti and director of the diocesan Office for the Pastoral Care of "Society, Work and Care of Creation". He will not be consecrated a bishop. "My love began when I read the writings of Pope Paul VI," the former driving instructor who later became a priest told media: "Fantastic! An extraordinary synthesis of rationality and sensitivity, spirituality and immense culture". He proudly explained that the [dying] Church of today is "the daughter of Paul VI", who "made the 'great break', but in the wake of tradition" (sic). In the Novus Ordo Church, talking nonsense in public has become the rule. Picture: Daniele Libanori, Francesco Pesce, By: DiocesiDiRoma.it, #newsNbtaeymnnb

Julie Inman Grant, Australia's eSafety Commissioner, has ordered social media platforms to remove graphic footage of the brutal attack against Mar Mari Emmanuel at the Assyrian Church of Christ the Good Shepherd in Wakeley, in Sydney's west, on 14 April. Mar Mari Emmanuel has founded an independent church in the Eastern Syriac tradition and is a social media personality. The 16-year-old Muslim attacker smiled after committing the crime. He will be tried in a children's court. Legal notices have been sent to Twitter, Google, WhatsApp, Telegram and Reddit asking them to report on the steps they are taking to 'protect Australians from terrorist and violent extremist material and activity'. New South Wales Police Commissioner Karen Webb said that in this case "the police will be the source of the truth", not "misinformation" (sic). "The source of information should come from the police and law enforcement. And if people have concerns, they should check our website, our social media and any …More

Bishop William Medley of Owensboro, Kentucky, admitted that his diocesan "listening sessions" for the October ex-synod revealed "frustration" with Francis' Vatican (CruxNow.com, 18 April). Mgr. Medley summarised that this frustration was generally related to Francis' homosexual propaganda piece 'Fiducia Supplicans' and the confusion and consternation it caused among the faithful regarding what was perceived as an endorsement of the blessing of sin, Bishop Medley wrote in a summary report. It was released earlier this month. Also priests expressed frustration at a lack of clarity from Francis, particularly regarding the text 'Fiducia Supplicans'. Francis was described as "ambiguous" in his teaching, while people want him to be direct: "Tell us what you really mean". Each US diocese was to send a summary report to the bishops' conference by 8 April. #newsPqysxgghgo
