The publication of articles regarding the class-action of Vatican Museums employees is only the tip of the iceberg, and it is not an isolated case, but the problem is much bigger. In fact, already two years ago articles had been published regarding (with documents) how the employees of St. Peter's Basilica are treated. There is talk of mobbing, psychological pressure, threats, even exploitation of workers and young university students who serve in St. Peter's Basilica!!! In a place that is sacred and where there should be justice at work, the dignity of workers and their rights... does the opposite happen?!!! "There's something rotten in Denmark..." below are the topics found within the articles and the links to the web pages Who are the friends of the friar covered in the Holy Purple?

Jesus divinely proposes to us: “Be merciful, just as (also) your Father is merciful.” Luke, chapter 6, verse 36 And how can we be merciful and like the Father, when we see that we have difficulty to be patient with ourselves, to be at peace? Once more the answer is the Holy Spirit. Despite our failings and mistakes, the Holy Spirit can go through us to touch the hearts of people. Despite the little in good we think we can achieve, let’s live in peace, and we will obtain more results. With a free and happy heart, may we allow the Spirit of God to pass through our life. Let’s let him transform our heart as well as the hearts of the people we meet. Goodness will increase, since we will let the Holy Spirit fulfill us. Let’s reduce the noise to find peace in hearts. May our life and our heart continue to find their source of peace in God’s Heart. The new American Bible, 2011-2014 Book: Watch with faith, Normand Thomas

MEDITATION FOR THE MONDAY AFTER PENTECOST Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness better than light. (S. John, ch. 3) 1 . Consider that this light which has come into the world is Jesus Christ, true sun of justice, who has enlightened men, not only by the preaching and by the instructions which he gave on earth, and that he left us in the Gospel, but even more particularly by the interior light of his Holy Spirit, which he communicates to us to make us capable of properly conceiving and understanding the supernatural truths that we are obliged to believe by the faith ; and this interior light is the second of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which we call the gift of understanding, because it opens our minds and facilitates our understanding of things which surpass the force of human reasoning. Praise and bless the divine goodness for having thus provided for your weakness, and for having prepared you as a torch to enlighten your mind in the darkness of the mysteries which …More

QUESTION 36 — THE PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT Concerning the Holy Spirit, we will ask ourselves four questions: 1. Is this name of Holy Spirit proper to a divine person? 2. Does the divine person called the Holy Spirit proceed from the Father and the Son? 3. Does it proceed from the Father through the Son? 4. Are the Father and the Son one principle of the Holy Spirit? Article 1 — Is the Holy Spirit the proper name of a divine person? Objections: 1 . No name common to all three people is unique to just one. Now this name “Holy Spirit” is common to all three people. S. Hilary shows in fact that the expression “Spirit of God” can designate the Father, for example in this text: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me” (Is 61:1; Lk 4:18); it can also designate the Son, for example when the Son says (Mt 12:28): “It is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons”, he thus declares that he casts out demons by the power of his own nature; still other times he designates the Holy Spirit: “I will pour …More
