On Palm Sunday, Leo XIV used again a ferula that features a risen Christ leaving the cross. He has used it since 6 January 2026. On 9 January, the Office for the Liturgical Celebrations told VaticanNews.va that the cross "unites the mission of proclaiming the mystery of Christ on the cross with the glorious manifestation of the resurrection". The ferula "presents Christ no longer bound by the nails of the Passion, but with his glorified body", according to the papal office. And: "The Paschal Mystery thus becomes a source of hope for humanity because death no longer has any power over mankind since Christ redeemed everything he assumed." #newsBcyvklvfjo
This ferula is inconsistent with the truth of the Gospel. Jesus resurrected out of the tomb, not off of the cross. On the cross he was absolutely, completely and utterly, dead. His crucifixion and death was the most through and through complete offering of His whole Self for us to God. It is the most awful and beautiful expression of love in the entire universe, and a continuing challenge to us who claim to 'love' like Him! Why shrink from showing His beautiful death to the whole world?
Mga kalamidad, pagsubok nga ba sa pananampalataya ng mga Pinoy? Ang Pagsubok hindi tinatakasan bagamat hinaharap ng may kababaang loob at matibay na pananampalataya sa Diyos!

On March 28, a Lenten pilgrimage organized by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X (FSSPX) was denied entry to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows in Cuceglio, near Turin, Italy. Despite being announced in advance, the church doors remained closed to the group, which included priests, religious sisters, and families who had walked several kilometers in devotion. The pilgrims had planned no Mass or formal liturgy - only a few concluding prayers. According to the local newspaper La Voce, the decision to close the gates to the pilgrims was made by the rector of the sanctuary, Don Luca Meinardi, and by Bishop Daniele Salera of Ivrea. The newspaper comments: "A choice that inevitably contradicts an ecclesiastical vocabulary which, in recent years, has emphasized words like welcome, inclusion, dialogue, and mercy." #newsSuicuzlbcj
Aprajita Nafs Nefes Ancient Believer @aprajitanefes |In the Philippines, where oil reserves are on the verge of depletion, people are now walking to work. With only ~45 days of fuel left, Marcos declared a national energy emergency due to the Middle East conflict. Prices have doubled. Public transport is crippled.

1. The War Was Predictably Destabilizing The speaker begins by saying any competent analyst should have known that attacking Iran would disrupt global energy markets. Iran has the capability to interfere with oil flows (especially in key shipping lanes), so economic fallout was a “known known”—not a surprise. 2. Failure to Build International Support They contrast this conflict with earlier U.S. wars: 1991 Gulf War: A broad coalition was built before combat—European allies, Arab states, and NATO partners were aligned. 2003 Iraq War: Even though controversial, the U.S. at least attempted to gain NATO backing and international legitimacy. Current situation: No real diplomatic effort was made to build a coalition. Europe is refusing to participate. European economies are already strained (e.g., from Russia sanctions), and this war is worsening their situation. Conclusion: The U.S. acted unilaterally and now stands isolated. 3. No Serious War Planning The speaker argues the war was launched …Higit pa

SANTO ROSARYO Ang Misteryo ng Tuwa. Ayon sa tradisyon ng Simbahang Katoliko, ibinigay at itinuro ng Birheng Maria ang pagdarasal ng rosaryo kay Santo Domingo de Guzman, nang siya'y sinabing nagpakita rito noong 1208 sa simbahan ng Prouille sa France. Noong ika-13 siglo, talamak ang heresy ng mga Albigense sa rehiyon ng Languedoc sa France. Habang pinupuksa ng isang krusada ang mga heretic, nangangaral naman si Santo Domingo at iba pang mga Katolikong pari sa mga Albigense. Sa kabila ng kanilang pagsusumikap hindi nila mapagtagumpayan ang mga heretic.[3] Upang maibsan ang galit ng Diyos sa mga heretic at makuha niya ang kaniyang atensiyon – nag-ayuno, marahas na penitensiya at taimtim na nagdasal ng walang patid sa loob tatlong araw at gabi[4] si Santo Domingo, hanggang siya'y nanghina at na-coma.[5] Sinabing dito nagpakita sa kanya ang Mahal na Birhen na pinapalibutan ng tatlong anghel, at siya'y kinausap nito "Minamahal kong Domingo, alam mo ba kung aling sandata ang gusto ng Banal na …Higit pa
Room of the Last Supper (Cenacle, the upper chamber), Mount Zion. The world's first church. Cenacle - Wikipedia The Cenacle (from the Latincenaculum, "dining room"), also known as the Upper Room (from the Koine Greekanagaion and hyperōion, both meaning "upper room"), is a room in Mount Zion in Jerusalem, just outside the Old City walls, traditionally held to be the site of the Last Supper, the final meal that, in the Gospel accounts, Jesus held with the apostles. According to the Christian Bible, the Cenacle was a place in which the apostles continued to gather after the Last Supper, and it was also the site where the Holy Spirit alighted upon the twelve apostles on Pentecost, Matthias having been "numbered with the eleven apostles" to replace Judas in Acts 1:25. The site is administered by the Israeli authorities, and is part of a building holding what is known as "David's Tomb" on its ground floor.
Room of the Last Supper (Cenacle, the upper chamber), Mount Zion. The world's first church. Zahi Shaked. Israeli tour guide Jun 12, 2013. The Cenacle (from Latincoenaculum), also known as the "Upper Room", is a room in Jerusalem traditionally held to be the site of The Last Supper. The word is a derivative of the Latin word cenō, which means dinner. In Christian tradition, based on Acts 1:13,[1] the "Upper Room" was not only the site of the Last Supper (i.e. the Cenacle), but the usual place where the Apostles stayed in Jerusalem and, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia,[2] "the first Christian church".
Sa loob ng dalawang buwan may kumakalat na usap-usapang ang lihim na komisyon ng Vatican ay magbibigay ng bagong interpretasyon sa liham ni Paul VI na Humanae vitae, na ipinagbabawal ang artipisyal na kontrasepsiyon. Noong ika-16 ng Hunyo, itinanggi ni Arsobispo Vicenzo Paglia, presidente ng Pontifical Academy for Life, kung saan may alinlangan sa katotohanan, ang usap-usapan sa catholicnewsagency.com: "Sinisigurado ko na walang pontifical na komisyon na tinawag upang muling basahin o upang muling bigyan ng interpretasyon ang Humanae vitae". Ngunit noong ika-26 ng Hunyo, kinumpirma ng vaticanista na si Andrea Gagliarducci, na mayroon talagang ganoong lihim na komisyon. Ngunit, hindi ito tinatawag na "pontifical na komisyon" ngunit isang "grupo sa pag-aaral". Ilalathala nito sa pahayagan ang Humanae vitae. Ang grupo ay pinangungunahan ni Monsenyor Gilfredo Marengo (62), isang naniniwala at tagsuporta ng Amoris Laetitia, at sinusuportahan ng Academy for Life ni Arsobispo Paglia. picture …Higit pa
Judge Andrew Napolitano says Trump is “not all there” and heading for a war illegal, unwinnable, and driven by pressure from Israel and donors. It's a disaster in the making. INTERVIEW: Mercenaries for a foreign country
"He has come into our country and dwelt in one body amidst the many, and in consequence the designs of the enemy against mankind have been foiled and the corruption of death, which formerly held us in its power, has simply ceased to exist. For the human race would have perished utterly had not the Lord and Savior of all, the Son of God, come among us to put and end to death." Saint Athanasios of Alexandria

Speaking to journalists in Castel Gandolfo this evening, Pope Leo XIV called on world leaders to “come back to the table” and solve their problems through dialogue (video below). "I'm told that President Trump recently said he wanted to end the war. Hopefully, he is looking for a way out. I hope he's looking for a way to reduce the violence and bombing, which would significantly help to reduce the constant increase in hatred in the Middle East and elsewhere." Leo XIV added, "Come back to the table and engage in dialogue. Let's look for solutions to problems and ways to reduce violence, so that peace — especially at Easter — might reign in our hearts." The Pope was also asked about his decision to personally carry the cross during the traditional Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum on Friday. "I think it will be an important sign because of what the Pope represents: a spiritual leader in today's world and a voice saying that Christ still suffers." When asked what he expects from his …Higit pa
Christ still suffers to see the total disregard of too many of the Pope's hand picked leaders with respect to the Ten Commandments. Our Lady of La Sallette suffers also.
