Religion needs Science to keep it away from superstition and keep it close to reality, to protect it from Creationism, which at the end of the day is a kind of paganism – it's turning God into a nature god
Vatican Astronomer Brother Guy Consolmagno
May you be no less anxious, daughters, to pray earnestly to God for those who are in this state and who, with all their works, have become sheer darkness. For, just as all the streamlets that flow from a clear spring are as clear as the spring itself, so the works of a soul in grace are pleasing in the eyes both of God and of men, since they proceed from this spring of life, in which the soul is as a tree planted. It would give no shade and yield no fruit if it proceeded not thence, for the spring sustains it and prevents it from drying up and causes it to produce good fruit. When the soul, on the other hand, through its own fault, leaves this spring and becomes rooted in a pool of pitch-black, evil-smelling water, it produces nothing but misery and filth.

1971 massacre victims were entirely innocent! 🇮🇪🇻🇦
The Priest and 9 lay people who were murdered by British troops. The British justified this heinous act by simply labeling them terrorists. We later found out this was a lie. It clearly was an anti Catholic hate crime!
Pray for the victims and their families, let’s also take action to ensure the British murderers get their day in court!

A short time ago I was told by a very learned man that souls without prayer are like people whose bodies or limbs are paralysed: they possess feet and hands but they cannot control them. In the same way, there are souls so infirm and so accustomed to busying themselves with outside affairs that nothing can be done for them, and it seems as though they are incapable of entering within themselves at all.

My Queen, My Mother, I offer
myself entirely to thee.
And to show my devotion to thee,
I offer thee this day, my eyes,
my ears, my mouth, my heart,
my whole being without reserve.
Wherefore, good Mother, as I am thine own,
keep me, guard me as thy property and possession.
Amen.

Father Charles Coughlin - Drive the money changers from the Temple! 🇺🇸 🇻🇦
CR: This is a small compilation of a speech that Father Coughlin gave in the 1920’s. What he says is still relevant to us a hundred years later.
Link: https://youtu.be/7aLeWOJp0yU
“The depression still acts strong as the powers of inflation reached out, to confiscate homes, to capture farms and to keep that ever marching army of jobless upon our streets wondering. When God in His mercy would lift His hand.
I dared you and challenged you to organize, so that the people if not the president would drive the money changers from the temple!
There is no need of communizing all the factories, the fields, the forests and the mines under a new kind of God made of flesh, blood, clay and hatred.
When men become so frivol, that they believe their destiny is to rewrite the Eternal law of God. Its time for their fellow citizens, to rise up in their wrath and through the agency of ballots, not bullets to relegate them to pages of the past.”

No man appears in safety before the public eye unless he first relishes obscurity. No man is safe in speaking unless he loves to be silent. No man rules safely unless he is willing to be ruled. No man commands safely unless he has learned well how to obey. No man rejoices safely unless he has within him the testimony of a good conscience. + THE IMITATION OF CHRIST - Thomas Kempis

A Guide for Catholic Meditation - https://telegra.ph/General-Guide-for-Catholic-Meditation-03-05
Christian Meditation is a form of contemplative prayer, when you focus your attention on a particular event, virtue, or teaching, and weigh it in your mind and heart, to grow in love and appreciation and therefore draw nearer to oneness with God. The goal is to discover your own position relative to the thing you are meditating on - how close are you to this event, how firmly to you grasp this virtue, how perfectly do you live this teaching, etc. It differs from a self-examination though because you do this with the goal of inviting grace and draw out of the meditation an improved practice.
"2 But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper." Psalm 1:2-3Unlike Oriental / Modern meditation, which seeks emptiness as a means of self-annihilation, the Catholic meditates to prepare your Soul for God to fill it. Your goal in meditation is not the elimination of yourself, but perfection by the destruction of vice, the acquisition of virtue, and a spiritual practice which enhances these things.

Is the modern Papacy an impossible gig? 🇻🇦
“Having to be CEO, geopolitical grandmaster, living saint and an intellectual superstar in an age of constant exposure and criticism is an impossible challenge”
Interesting article on expectations on the Pope and the reality of how It will be impossible for a Pope to meet them.

Fr. Hugh Mullan and Fr. Noel Fitzpatrick were recently declared "innocent" by the British state whose soldiers martyred them nearly half a century ago.
They are for us examples, for they are the kind of martyrs we should expect in this age. Not men rounded up and sent to Gulags or burned alive in the village church, as the Bolsheviks and Yugoslav Communists did, but priests performing their sacramental duties branded "extremists" and "gunmen" by the Liberal, secular state and then promptly shoved down the memory hole, their families and parishioners shunned and mocked as conspiracy theorists or dissidents. That is how the Liberal-democratic Order makes martyrs. Kill, justify, ignore, admit wrongdoing after all has been forgotten by the broad public.
This is the final cross of the Martyr which we must be ready to bear. The martyrs killed by democracy and liberalism will be forgotten by men, but held all the dearer by God. By the prayers of these blessed priests, may we be found worthy of such martyrdom!

S3e83 The Value of Unclehood
Today's Daily Decade is a bit of a different reflection on unclehood, that is of the peripheral support of fatherhood and motherhood, and the need of such men to sustain a Christian society by offering a model of masculine love and responsibility different than that of fathers.

I began to think of the soul as if it were a castle made of a single diamond or of very clear crystal, in which there are many rooms,just as in Heaven there are many mansions. Now if we think carefully over this, sisters, the soul of the righteous man is nothing but a paradise, in which, as God tells us, He takes His delight. For what do you think a room will be like which is the delight of a King so mighty, so wise, so pure and so full of all that is good? + INTERIOR CASTLE - St. Teresa of Avila

French Catholics hold day of solidarity with Eastern Christians 🇫🇷🇻🇦
“French Bishop: Pascal Gollnisch stresses that the history of eastern Christians is the history of our civilization, that of the Egyptians and the mesopotamians, of the Bible, of the Greeks and Romans, without which Europe cannot understand its own identity
In his letter, the Bishop recalls the recent Apostolic journey of Pope Francis to Iraq, in particular his visit to the Church of the Immaculate Conception. This historic church was recently destroyed by the Islamic state. It now has been restored!
It shows that while the general situation for Eastern Christians deteriorate, there still are beacons of light”

His Eminence Cardinal Burke, a great proponent of Tradition will be appearing on Pints with Aquinas this evening. Cardinal Burke, as many of you know, has been one of the strongest voices within the upper ranks of the Vatican, when it comes to Beauty, Reverence and Tradition. Pray for the Holy Spirit to guide his work!

They have the same defect in their prayer, for they think the whole matter of prayer consists in looking for sensory satisfaction and devotion. They strive to procure this by their own efforts, and tire and weary their heads and their faculties. When they do not get this sensible comfort, they become very disconsolate and think they have done nothing. Because of their aim they lose true devotion and spirit, which lie in distrust of self and in humble and patient perseverance so as to please God. Once they do not find delight in prayer, or in any other spiritual exercise, they feel extreme reluctance and repugnance in returning to it and sometimes even give it up. For after all, as was mentioned, they are like children who are prompted to act not by reason but by pleasure. + THE DARK NIGHT - St. John of the Cross

When a man of good will is afflicted, tempted, and tormented by evil thoughts, he realizes clearly that his greatest need is God, without Whom he can do no good. Saddened by his miseries and sufferings, he laments and prays. He wearies of living longer and wishes for death that he might be dissolved and be with Christ. Then he understands fully that perfect security and complete peace cannot be found on earth. + THE IMITATION OF CHRIST - Thomas Kempis

Today is Saint Monica.
On this fourth morning of beautiful May, there rises, near to Mary and Salome, another woman, another mother. She too is fervent in her love of Jesus. She too, gives to holy Church a treasure—the child of her tears, a Doctor, a Bishop, and one of the grandest Saints of the New Law. This woman, this mother, is Monica, twice mother of Augustine. This masterpiece of God’s grace was produced on the desert soil of Africa. Her virtues would have been unknown till the day of Judgment, had not the pen of the great Bishop of Hippo, prompted by the holy affection of his filial heart, revealed to us the merits of this woman, whose life was humility and love, and who now, immortalized in men’s esteem, is venerated as the model and patroness of Christian Mothers.
Prayer "From the eternal home, where thou art now happy with this son of thine, who owes to thee his life both of earth and heaven—cast a loving look,
O Monica, on the many Christ mothers who are now fulfilling on earth the hard but noble mission which was once thine. Their children are also dead with the death of sin; and they would restore them to true life by the power of their maternal love. After the Mother of Jesus, it is to thee that they turn,
O Monica—thou whose prayers and tears were once so efficacious and so fruitful. Take their cause in hand; thy tender and devoted heart cannot fail to compassionate them in the anguish which was once thine own. Keep up their courage; teach them to hope. The conversion of these dear ones is to cost them many a sacrifice; get them the generosity and fortitude needed for their paying the price thus asked of them by God. Let them remember that the conversion of a soul is a greater miracle than the raising a dead man to life; and that Divine Justice demands a compensation, which they, the mothers of these children, must be ready to make. This spirit of sacrifice will destroy that hidden egotism, which is but too frequently mingled with what seems to be affection of the purest kind. Let them ask themselves if they would rejoice, as thou didst,
O Monica, at finding that a vocation to the Religious Life were the result of the conversion they have so much at heart? If they are thus disinterested, let them not fear; their prayers and s2ufferings must be efficacious; sooner or later, the wished-for grace will descend upon the Prodigal, and he will return to God and his mother.
