Miracle of Ocotlan, Mexico: Appearance of Christ Crucified (Our Lord of Mercy) - October 3 On Saturday, October 2, 1847, an earthquake devastated the town of Ocotlan, Tlaxcala, Mexico. The earthquake killed 40 people and left the small town in ruins. Mass was to be held in the cemetery the following day, October 3, presided over the Parochial Vicar, Father Julián Navarro. Just before the start of Mass, two white clouds joined together in the northwest sky, and an image of Christ crucified appeared. More than 2,000 people who had gathered for Mass saw a perfect image of Jesus Christ crucified that appeared in the sky for more than 30 minutes. Those present and in nearby towns were deeply moved, made acts of contrition, and cried out begging, “Lord, have mercy!” This apparition of Christ was called “the Lord of Mercy” and in his honor, in September 1875, a new parish church was blessed, consecrated and dedicated to Him. Also among the faithful who witnessed the miracle were Father Julián …More

Your Guardian Angel Chose You Personally Every person has a unique guardian angel, chosen by the angel themselves, who has been with them since conception. This angel, a messenger between God and humanity, aims to lead their charge to heaven while respecting their free will. Despite challenges and misunderstandings, the angel remains faithful, working towards the individual’s ultimate good, as exemplified in the story of Job. Guardian angels are always present, battling for us and leading us to heaven, but they respect our free will and require our invitation to intervene more directly. By praying, asking for help, and opening our hearts, we can allow our guardian angels to work extraordinary things in our lives, guiding us to God’s will and truth. Naming our guardian angels is discouraged as it implies authority over them, contradicting their role as our protectors and guides. Fr.

Schneider is currently at the CIC with Michael Matt. Use this great interview for follow-up questions there.
Humanly speaking, Bishop Schneider doesn't see Leo XIV reversing Francis' course. The celebration of the Pontifical Mass at the end of October in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore - instead of St. Peter’s Basilica - can be described as a “consolation prize,” Bishop Athanasius Schneider told Gloria.tv (video below). It is “sad,” he said, that these Catholics are not allowed to celebrate Mass in St. Peter’s. At the same time, Santa Maria Maggiore is the most important Marian church in Christendom. Both Pius V - who codified the traditional Mass for all time - and Francis - who restricted it - are buried there. Bishop Schneider intends to pray with the faithful for liturgical peace and for the traditional Mass to be celebrated again without restrictions. Asked whether Leo XIV might reverse Francis’ course, Schneider replied: “Humanly speaking, I don’t think so. But there is still God.” The pilgrimage will pray for Leo XIV, asking God to grant him many graces. Schneider calls the suppression …More
Bishops’ conferences may pursue “appropriate steps in different contexts” after the 'Amoris Laetitia' meeting. The Vatican today released details of Leo XIV’s meeting with 248 bishops marking ten years of 'Amoris Laetitia' (October 7–14). It will be conducted in a “synodal style.” Participants will work in 16 small groups before discussing their results in plenary. They will use the Synod on Synodality’s “Conversation in the Spirit”: three rounds consisting of sharing personal experience, “resonating” with what others have said, and jointly identifying what has emerged. Fr. Giacomo Costa SJ, responsible for the meeting’s methodology, described it as an “evaluation assembly.” Costa said a Church document “is not the end point” but must become part of the life of the Church and “allow itself to be tested by experience.” Local Churches are called to translate its orientations into different contexts, “experiment with paths,” and evaluate their fruits and difficulties. Costa also said the …More

Canada’s MAID program has surpassed 100,000 deaths since assisted suicide was legalized in 2016. The debate has intensified after the death of 83-year-old Brigitte Stegemann in Ontario. Her family disputes that she validly consented to MAID and says the procedure went ahead despite their objections. More than 16,000 MAID deaths were recorded in 2024, while a further expansion involving mental illness is scheduled for 2027.
Non-stop applause for Leo XIV. Vatican Media published this picture from Leo XIV’s audience with representatives of Gruppo Hera on October 1. It shows members of the delegation standing and applauding the Pope. Every day, Leo XIV receives such standing ovations in the Vatican. His speech called for stronger environmental responsibility, warning against the “uncontrolled consumption of resources” and the growing problem of managing and disposing of “enormous quantities of waste.” #newsJqizykucsc
Please, is there any real video recording of those 4 minutes long applause to him? Try to find it, because that would be revealing — what exactly uberhyperpapolatry means! Which, btw., does not have to mean that it necessarily has to do with the real papacy. Which actually if it had, it wouldn't be called - UBERHYPERPAPOLATRY!
U.S. congresswoman promotes transgender ideology in speech at Catholic church.
