Leo XIV is “following in Francis’s footsteps,” Cardinal Ángel Rossi, 68, of Córdoba, told La Nación on September 27. Cardinal Rossi described Leo XIV’s visit to Argentina as an homage to Francis, comparing his visit to the Cottolengo with Francis’s trip to Lampedusa, with both emphasizing the poor and marginalized. He also said that “Leo XIV will find a battered Argentina, socially downcast, and one in which triumphalist language is heard.”

Jesus again instructed his Apostles for a considerable length of time, and also prayed several times. He frequently appeared to be conversing with his Heavenly Father, and to be overflowing with enthusiasm and love. The Apostles also were full of joy and zeal, and asked him various questions which he forthwith answered. The scriptures must contain much of this last discourse and conversation. He told Peter and John different things to be made known later to the other Apostles …ተጨማሪ
"There, Jesus found his Mother, Mary of Cleophas, and Magdalen, who earnestly besought him not to go to Mount Olivet, for a report has spread that his enemies were seeking to lay hands on him. But Jesus comforted them in few words, and hastened onward—it being then about nine o’clock. They went down the road by which Peter and John had come to the supper-room, and directed their steps towards Mount Olivet."
On September 26, about 200 faithful of the Society of St. Pius X (FSSPX) made their annual pilgrimage to the Canadian Martyrs’ Shrine in Midland, Ontario. Their published programme scheduled veneration of the relics at the Shrine at 3 p.m. The pilgrims were denied entrance to the church. According to LifeSiteNews.com, this was ordered by the Archdiocese of Toronto. The FSSPX has made this pilgrimage for years. In September 2025, more than 500 FSSPX pilgrims attended. In contrast to the denial of entry to the FSSPX pilgrims, in July 2026 the Archdiocese of Toronto advertised the annual Tamil pilgrimage at the same Shrine. Its announcement invited “Tamil Catholics and other Tamil-speaking devotees” to a programme including Rosary, Eucharist and Adoration, concluding: “All Are Welcome!” Picture: LifeSiteNews.com, #newsDemzixxpwy

St. Bernard of Clairvaux ~ However great may be the temptation, if we know how to use the weapon of prayer well, we shall come off conquerors at last...
For if thou wilt protect me, dear Mother, I fear nothing: not from my sins, because thou wilt obtain for me the pardon of them; nor from the devils, because thou art more powerful than all Hell together; nor even from Jesus, my Judge Himself, because by one prayer from thee. He will be appeased. But one thing I fear, that in the hour of temptation, I may neglect to call upon thee and thus perish miserably! ~ Part of Novena Prayer to Our Mother of Perpetual Help. ~ Taken from Catholic Prayers, TAN books & publishers. page 112.

SEPTEMBER 29 THE ARCHANGELS MICHAEL GABRIEL AND RAPHAEL breski1 Angels—messengers from God—appear frequently in Scripture, but only Michael, Gabriel and Raphael are named. Michael appears in Daniel’s vision as “the great prince” who defends Israel against its enemies; in the Book of Revelation, he leads God’s armies to final victory over the forces of evil. Devotion to Michael is the oldest angelic devotion, rising in the East in the fourth century. The Church in the West began to observe a feast honoring Michael and the angels in the fifth century. Gabriel also makes an appearance in Daniel’s visions, announcing Michael’s role in God’s plan. His best-known appearance is an encounter with a young Jewish girl named Mary, who consents to bear the Messiah. Raphael’s activity is confined to the Old Testament story of Tobit. There he appears to guide Tobit’s son Tobiah through a series of fantastic adventures which lead to a threefold happy ending: Tobiah’s marriage to Sarah, the healing of …ተጨማሪ
Michael the Archangel Memorial 29 September 8 May – Apparition of Saint Michael and Protector of Cornwall Profile Archangel. Leader of the army of God during the Lucifer uprising. Devotion is common to Muslims, Christians and Jews, and there are writings about him in all three cultures. Considered the guardian angel of Israel, and the guardian and protector of the Church. In the Book of Daniel (12:1), Michael is described as rising up to defend the Church against the Anti-Christ. The feast of the Apparition of Saint Michael commemorates appearance of the archangel to a man named Gargan in 492 on Mount Gargano near Manfredonia in southern Italy. Gargan and others were pasturing cattle on the mountain; a bull wandered off and hid in a cave. An arrow was shot into the cave, but it came flying back out and wounded the archer. The cowherds went to their bishop who ordered three days of fasting and prayer to seek an explanation for the mystery. At the end of the three days …ተጨማሪ

Angels have always been among us. September 29, Feast of the Archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Dear brothers and sisters, humanity has always wondered about the existence of some form of intelligent life in the universe beyond mankind. The search continues without result... And yet, dear friends, we Christians have always known of the existence of another form of intelligent life in the universe... They are called Angels, and they have always been in our midst... They are intelligent spiritual beings who possess no body and are therefore invisible. They are endowed with superior intelligence and will, and possess extraordinary preternatural powers. It is God who created them and revealed this to us; therefore, there is not a shadow of a doubt regarding their existence and their influence upon us. Regarding Angels, dear friends, there are two pieces of news: one good and one bad... The bad news is that some of them rejected God’s plan and, by rebelling against His will, condemned …ተጨማሪ
Leo XIV invokes Europe’s Christian roots in defence of human rights and migration. Pope Leo XIV offered a sweeping account of European civilisation and its future in a September 28 landmark speech at the Robert Schuman Congress Centre in Metz, France. Speaking on “The Roots of Europe for Peace and Unity,” Leo XIV’s argument was, at its deepest level, anthropological: Europe’s future depends upon its understanding of the human person. Leo XIV began with Europe’s Greek, Roman and Christian inheritance, but emphasised that “European civilization is also the fruit of centuries-long encounters.” He specifically cited “the presence of Arab culture in the Iberian Peninsula.” He then turned to the contribution of Benedictine monasticism. After recalling its role in caring for the poor, sick and elderly, as well as in universities, hospitals, medicine, science, architecture, law and political organisation, he declared: “Without this monastic tradition, European civilization as we know it would …ተጨማሪ
At a moment in history when relations between nations "are becoming increasingly barbaric," dialogue and multilateralism remain "the best antidote to the desire for domination, which lies at the root of every conflict," Pope Leo XIV said.
Why is the Holy Word of God, in the Holy Scriptures, Sublime and Powerful? 1) John 1:1; In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2) Revelation 19:12; His eyes are like a flame of fire; His Name is “The Word of God.” 3) Revelation 19:15; From His mouth comes a sharp Sword to strike down the nations. 4) Hebrews 4:12-13; Indeed, the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any double-edged sword. It penetrates even between the place where the soul is divided from the spirit, joints and marrow, and judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Nothing in the unseen realm is hidden from it; everything is laid bare and exposed before the eyes of the One to whom we must give an account. 5) Ephesians 6:17; The Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. 6) John 6:63; The Words I have spoken to you are Spirit and are Life. 7) Psalm 33:6; By the Word of Yahweh the heavens were made, and all their host by the breath of His mouth. 8) Psalm 33:9; …ተጨማሪ

Jana 19:12; Jego oczy są jak płomień ognia; Jego imię brzmi: „Słowo Boże”. 3) Objawienie 19:15; Z Jego ust wychodzi ostry miecz, by uderzyć narody. 4) List do Hebrajczyków 4:12-13; Słowo Boże jest bowiem żywe i skuteczne, ostrzejsze niż jakikolwiek miecz obosieczny. Przenika aż do rozdzielenia duszy od ducha, do stawów i szpiku, i osądza myśli oraz zamiary serca. Nic w sferze niewidzialnej nie jest przed Nim ukryte; wszystko jest obnażone i odsłonięte przed oczami Tego, przed którym musimy zdać sprawę. 5) List do Efezjan 6:17; Miecz Ducha, którym jest Słowo Boże. 6) Ewangelia według św.
