'[VII] Of the Seventh Weapon. - 'The Seven Spiritual Weapons' by Saint Catherine of Bologna – pages 29; Points 50-53 [Saint Catherine of Bologna – XV Century AD; born/died: Bologna/Bologna (aged 49); Virgin; Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Teacher; Artist] (50) Although it may seem presumptuous of me, I sincerely ask all those who will ever find themselves abbesses in this monastery, that they take care to be vigilant over the flock committed to them, knowing that the devil, the hellish wolf, always seeks to devour it. Hence it is necessary to keep a diligent watch and not wait to save the lamb when it is in the mouth of the wolf or at the point of death, but immediately, with true goodness and generosity, support its weaknesses of soul and body. O how pleasing it is to God and salutary to the subject when the superior gives her help before she asks for it, because what is asked for is less pleasing and less rewarded. (51) And who is so hard-hearted that when they hurt their foot or even their …Zaidi
"(51) And who is so hard-hearted that when they hurt their foot or even their little finger, she does not bend her head to look at it and her hand to medicate it? And while each leader must maintain this manner toward all her subjects without any laziness, the opposite is a deadly medicine, bringing damnation to both the head and the members."

SAINT PETER OF ALCANTARA - October 19 Priest (1499-1562) In his youth, St. Peter left his home in Alcantara, Spain, and entered a monastery of Discalced Franciscans. He was quickly promoted, but his thirst for penance was unappeased. In 1539, at 40 years old, he founded the first monastery of the Strict Observance. The friars' cells were simple and rustic. St. Peter's cell was only four and a half feet long. He often fasted and sometimes ate just once in three days. In the winter, he opened his cell's windows to feel some sensation of warmth. All of his penances were for the salvation of souls. Among those St. Peter trained to perfection was St. Teresa of Avila, a doctor of the Church. He read her soul, approved her spirit of prayer and encouraged her reforms. He passed away on October 18, 1562. He intercedes by giving our prayers to God with perfect faith. He is the patron saint of Brazil, Eucharistic adoration and night watchmen. Lives of the Saints, by Alban Butler, Benziger Bros. ed …Zaidi
Saint Peter of Alcantara - October 19 breski1 Franciscan Priest, Reformer (1499-1562 Saint Peter was born in 1499 near the Portuguese border of Spain. While still a youth of sixteen, he left his home at Alcantara and entered a convent of Discalced Franciscans near Valencia. He rose quickly to high posts in the Order, as a guardian, a definitor, and then Superior of the Province of Saint Gabriel. But his thirst for penance was still unappeased, and in 1539, being then forty years old, he founded the Congregation of Saint Joseph of the Strict Observance, to conserve the letter of the Rule of Saint Francis. He suffered great tribulations to conserve that Rule in its integrity. Eventually Saint Peter himself, the year before his death, raised it to the status of a province under obedience to the Minister General of the entire Seraphic Order. The Reform he instituted has since been extended even to the farthest Orient and the Indies; it is believed God ordained that it repair the ravages to …Zaidi
The School Sisters of Notre Dame held an estate sale (October 15–17) as they close their historic Sancta Maria in Ripa motherhouse in St. Louis, Missouri, after 131 years.

Bebo’s FriendsYou might have thought that Ukrainians took to the streets to protest for presidential elections and an end to the war... Nope. In fact, it seems they took to the streets (or were brought out by globalists—with a distinct whiff of Soros -#RESIST-style on them) because they were bothered by Klitschko a few days ago, when he raised some pertinent questions and made certain statements: Where is the air defense and the billions? At the same time, all you hear from these endless talk shows is that something is wrong in Kiev, or that something was done poorly. It's as if we're still living in 2019. You can say anything, blame Klitschko for anything, even WW3. But it's not just me who's asking: where is the air defense to protect the capital? Where is the protection for "Ukrenergo" facilities? Where are the billions allocated for this?

True Gospel Fruit In the late 1800's, true Gospel preaching yielded fruit in the village of Lu Italy of about 1,800 to 2,000 residents, 323 vocations, comprising 152 priests and 171 nuns across 41 congregations. Multiple vocations often came from a single family, such as the Rinaldi family with seven vocations, including Blessed Filippo Rinaldi. The Great Vocational Inversion: How Modernity Has Dumbed Down The Gospel Modernity 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 …Zaidi
Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services received at least $62 million in federal funding to resettle an estimated 29,000 Somali refugees in Minnesota since 1993. New York Post reports that faith-based agencies received approximately $2,500 per refugee to cover initial housing, food, and social services. Minnesota’s Somali population has since grown to more than 100,000, the largest in the United States. Separately, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops received $140 million in federal contracts nationwide since 2021 for refugee and migrant resettlement services, including housing assistance, basic necessities, and integration support.
da Wikipedia: "... Con una temperatura media di gennaio di −10,8 °C e una temperatura media annuale di 7,4 °C l'area di Minneapolis-St. Paul risulta l'area metropolitana più fredda degli Stati Uniti esclusa l'Alaska. D'inverno, risulta tra le metropoli più fredde a livello mondiale. " Questo non per giustificare i Somali arrivati da quelle parti con i soldi gestiti dai Cattolici. Semplicemente per mostrare "che tipi sono" quei Cattolici
