April 19th - Saint of the Day: Saint Alphege of Canterbury, Archbishop, Monk & Martyr What kind of man refuses to buy his own freedom because that money belongs to the poor? Saint Alphege did. He was an Archbishop of Canterbury, a monk, a shepherd of souls, and a martyr who chose faithfulness over survival. When pagan captors demanded a huge ransom for his release, he would not let the Church’s resources be spent on saving himself while the poor still suffered. That is the kind of courage that stops people in their tracks. His story is intense, heartbreaking, and unforgettable. A holy bishop captured during the sack of Canterbury. A shepherd who begged mercy for his people. A saint who faced a brutal death rather than betray the Gospel he preached. Saint Alphege proves that real Christian love is not soft, shallow, or convenient. It is sacrificial. It is fearless. It is real. This is one of those Catholic saint stories that hits hard because it asks a serious …More
Sant' Elfego (Elfege) di Canterbury Vescovo - Festa:19 aprile 954 - 1011 Nacque in Inghilterra nel 954. Divenuto benedettino nell’abbazia di Deerhurst, nel Gloucestershire, proseguì la carriera ecclesiastica come abate di un monastero a Bath e quindi, nel 984, come vescovo di Winchester. Nel 1006 fu nominato arcivescovo di Canterbury. Era molto amato dal popolo per la sua generosità ed umanità. Durante l’invasione danese del 1011 si rifiutò di fuggire e fu preso prigioniero. Non volle pagare il proprio riscatto con le elemosine raccolte per i poveri e per questo motivo venne ucciso a Greenwich. Fu bastonato a morte con le pesanti ossa di un bue che era servito ai pagani per un luculliano banchetto. Le sue reliquie furono conservate nella chiesa di San Paolo a Canterbury, fino all’avvento della riforma. Martirologio Romano: Sulla riva del Tamigi presso Greenwich in Inghilterra, passione di sant’Elfégo, vescovo di Canterbury e martire, che, durante le cruente devastazioni provocate …More
We live in a time where the "Prince Charming" bailed on foot because his horse died miles ago, and the "Princess" is still locked in her tower, terrified to turn the key because she just got her nails done... Whatever happened to values? To real love, loyalty, and basic respect for another human being? Where did it all go? Face-to-face conversations have been replaced by ghosting and silence. Working on a relationship has been traded for "upgrading" to a newer, shinier model. Friendships now have an expiration date—usually right when the benefits run out. People who were supposed to be your rock end up becoming your worst enemies. Where the hell did the integrity go?! Am I overreacting? I don’t think so. Not for a second. The "Prince" who was supposed to be charming turns out to be just another player who used you and moved on. The "Princess" who was once wrapped around your neck, telling you that you were her entire world, turns on a dime the moment she finds someone with a bigger bank …More
The testimony of Catalina on the Holy Mass In a marvelous catechesis, the Lord and the Virgin Mary have been instructing us first on how to pray the Rosary, that being to pray it with our hearts, and meditate and enjoy the moments when we encounter God and our Blessed Mother. They have also instructed us on the way to make a good confession and, in this document, a teaching on what happens during the Holy Mass and how to live it with our hearts. This is the testimony that I must and want to give to the whole world, for the greater Glory of God and for the salvation of all of those who want to open their hearts to the Lord. It is also given so that many souls consecrated to God will rekindle the fire of their love for Christ, some of whom are the owners of the hands that have the power to bring Him to our world so that He can become our nourishment. It is also given for others so that they break lose of the “routine practice” of receiving Him, and relive the amazement of their daily …More
The Holy Mass Explained to Catalina by Jesus and Mary français Catalina Rivas of Cochabamba, Bolivia, who now dwells in Mérida, Yucatán, México. She is said to receive Messages from Jesus, Mary, and the angels. She has the approval of her Bishop, René Fernández Apaza, who has given his imprimatur to her Messages.

Bo. Daniel Gagnon, OMI, of the Commission for the Doctrine of the Faith of the Archdiocese of Mexico, wrote about this book: “I do not find anything against the faith or the customs of the Church. It is not my function to confirm its supernatural character; nevertheless, I recommend it for its spiritual inspiration.” The testimony of Catalina on the Holy Mass In a marvelous catechesis, the Lord and the Virgin …

Pope Leo encounters his legendary Spiritual Father in Yaoundé | Shalom World News At the Catholic University of Central Africa in Yaoundé, Cameroon, a quiet yet deeply symbolic moment unfolds in Pope Leo's journey. Before him stands a newly unveiled statue of Saint Augustine of Hippo—his legendary ‘spiritual father’, the guiding light of his Augustinian vocation. Enveloped in a shell resembling Africa, the statue holds a book bearing the words “Tolle Lege”— “take up and read”—the very call that pierced Augustine’s heart and triggered his conversion. For Pope Leo, this is no distant history; it is a living echo. The same words that transformed Augustine continue to resonate in his own life, shaping his mission, his prayer, and his path as a shepherd of the Church. With reverence, the Holy Father blesses the statue, pausing as if in silent dialogue with the saint who has walked with him across the years. In that gesture lies more than ceremony—it is a moment of recognition, of …More
Yaoundé : le pape Léon XIV bénit la statue de saint Augustin à l’Université catholique d’Afrique centrale En visite à l’Université catholique d’Afrique centrale à Yaoundé, le pape Léon XIV a béni une statue de saint Augustin au symbolisme fort. Représenté sous la forme du continent africain, le saint tient un livre portant l’inscription « Tolle lege ». Un moment marquant de son passage dans l’institution, ponctué par la remise d’une reproduction miniature de l’œuvre.
“The multiplication of the loaves and fishes occurred during the sharing; that is the miracle,” said Pope Leo XIV in his homily at the Japoma Stadium in Douala, Cameroon, on 17 April, which was attended by around 120,000 people. He continued: ‘There is bread for everyone if it is given to everyone. There is bread for everyone if it is taken not with a snatching hand, but with a giving hand.” Common heresy in the Francis era Here, Leo XIV reflects an idea that Pope Francis has returned to several times: that the multiplication of the loaves is not about a supernatural increase in food, but a transformation of human hearts that leads to sharing. During the Angelus on 26 July 2015, Francis said that 'the miracle does not consist in the multiplication itself, but in the sharing'. At the Angelus on 29 July 2018, and in various weekday homilies at Santa Marta, Francis reiterated that the true sign is not a miracle, but a change in attitude; the crowd learns to share. On 25 July 2021, Francis …More
