Your Response To God Determines Your Eternity The gospel reading likens the kingdom of heaven to a wedding feast, where God is the king, and Jesus is the groom. The invitation is not to be a guest but to be the bride, symbolizing a spiritual union with Christ through love and fidelity. This union, prefigured by the Eucharist, is a profound privilege and responsibility that requires a commitment to love and faithfulness to God. Fr.

"19. And if any brother out of a feeling of pride or arrogance wishes to have as his due a better and finer habit, let him be given the worst. And those who receive new robes must immediately return the old ones, to be given to the squires and sergeants and often to the poor, according to what seems good to the one who holds that office."
‘The Templar Rule Of Order’; ‘The Primitive Rule’; ‘On the Brothers' Dress’; pages 4; points 15-19 The original Latin Rule of Order was penned with the assistance of the young Cistercian Abbott, Bernard of Clairvaux. The rule is very similar to the modified Benedictine rule used by the Cistercian order. This makes perfect sense as the two orders were closely related and linked. The Primitive Rule of the Templars On Brothers who Stand Too Long in Chapel 15. It has been made known to us and we heard it from true witnesses that immoderately and without restraint you hear the divine service whilst standing. We do not ordain that you behave in this manner, on the contrary we disapprove of it. But we command that the strong as well as the weak, to avoid a fuss, should sing the psalm which is called Venite, with the invitatory and the hymn sitting down, and say their prayers in silence, softly and not loudly, so that the proclaimer does not disturb the prayers of the other brothers. 16.

"They are obliged to go out, they say, to get a breath of air or else they would die. You will see them, distressed and miserable, during the services. But no sooner is the service over (and often even before the priest has actually left the altar) than they will be pressing around the door from which the first of the congregation are streaming out, and you will notice that all the joy which they had lost during the service has come back again."
Jean-Marie Vianney ~ ‘SERMONS OF THE CURE OF ARS – EXCERPTS’ ~ ‘THEY ARE FOR THE WORLD etc., …’ ~ pages 17; part III [Saint John Vianney, XVIII-XIX Century, (aged 73), born: Dardilly, Lyonnais, Kingdom of France/died: Ars-sur-Formans, Ain, French Empire, Cure d’Ars, French Priest, patron saint of parish priests] They are obliged to go out, they say, to get a breath of air or else they would die. You will see them, distressed and miserable, during the services. But no sooner is the service over (and often even before the priest has actually left the altar) than they will be pressing around the door from which the first of the congregation are streaming out, and you will notice that all the joy which they had lost during the service has come back again. They are so tired that often they have not the "strength" to come back to the evening service. If you were to ask them why they were not coming to this, they would tell you: "Ah, we would have to be all the day in the church. We have other …More

Wednesday, 13th August 1913 Franks Lawyers Again Threaten Move for Mistrial, The Atlanta Journal The Atlanta Journal, Wednesday, 13th August 1913, PAGE 6, COLUMN 1. Questions Asked by Dorsey Of Office Boy at Factory Ruled Out After Argument Attorney Reuben R. Arnold Declares That Any Further Testimony Along Lines of That Sought by the Solicitor During Examination of Philip Chambers Will Tempt Him to Move for a New Trial in the Case With the calling of Emil Selig, Frank's father-in-law, the defense began their endeavor to prove Frank's statement in reference to his movements on the day of the tragedy. Mr. Selig's testimony bore principally upon the time Frank arrived at his home to dinner, the midday meal, and his appearance and actions at that time. He declared that Frank arrived home about 1:20, that he was unmarked by scratches; that his general appearance and actions were as usual; and that during the evening the accused man had been in his usual spirits and had not been either nervous …More
The Great Vocational Inversion: How Modernity Turned the Gospel into a Safety Net The modern Church is suffering from collective amnesia, and nowhere is this more evident than in our soft, therapeutic approach to "discerning a vocation." Ask any contemporary vocation director, and you will hear a familiar, comforting script: Marriage is the baseline default for human life. Virginity or religious life is a specialized, elite calling for a heroic few. It sounds prudent. It sounds balanced. It is also a complete inversion of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If we dare to pull back the layers of mid-century sentimentality and look at the raw text of the Scriptures and the unanimous witness of the Saints, a jarring reality emerges: The radical renunciation of religious life is the baseline call for all true disciples. Marriage is not the default prize—it is the merciful safety net thrown out to catch those too weak to scale the mountain. The New Testament does not mince words about the cost of …More
St. Macarius ~ The soul that truly desires to please God should expect warfare. Grace does not dwell in a soul that strives for comfort and avoids every cross.
Public executions, even of innocents, has been televised by the west since the gulf wars. Charlie Kirk was also publicly executed. By the same administration.
Prevost has no mercy, not with the Catholic victims of Muslims in Nigeria, nor with the Catholic victims in China, nor with the children who are victims of sin against the sixth commandment, but now he wants to awaken compassion for himself with this news about the nodule.
Well, this doesn't seem right. Who actually believes Zelensky will hold an election? If you do, you haven't been paying attention to what has been said and done in the US or West.
"IF"! And I do mean IF there is an election. I see one of two things that will happen. The elections will be rigged. Or they will replace him with someone worse than Zelensky. There is only those two choices. We know how the US and West work. They never do anything by the law. Or have good intentions for us, but only for themselves.
