Its not all doom and gloom! Encouraging to read this about my own "backyard"! I also see this in my local parishes- more 20 and 30 year olds with children. It gives me hope https://nypost.com/2025/11/16/lifes.../?utm_campaign=iphone_nyp&utm_source=mail_app
God is working, especially through the intercession of Mary, in the heart of His Church, through you and me, if we are willing to be intercessors of the Gospel to others. The following clip points to the fact that the hierarchy seems not to agree. Through our Rosaries, through Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, through our invitations: to the lost, to the wavering, to those blinded by worldly values, we can cooperate with the Holy Spirit to reach the lost and wavering, We can participate on forums such as MOG for encouragement, but we must also be missionaries to those God has placed in our lives in union with Our Lady. We must wait no longer. Time is of the essence. The hope that miker expresses above must be realized and acted upon by all of us! Evangelize! .
We seek and know in whom we can rejoice, the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, but still must be humble and discerning. Catherine Ann Emmerich (who speaks of new bishops) said as much. I'm grieved to the heart, and feel like a prideful Catholic in my questioning, but the below gives me pause. Lord give each of us a humble and discerning heart. Discerning and faithful priests like Fr. Ripperger are a blessing. Best to stay united to Our Lady, to the confessional, to Holy Mass, and to the Holy Eucharist with the Rosary in my hand: O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
Thanks for posting this. The race to the bottom might have finally be won. Life is tiresome when exploitation artists run everything. https://www.yesigiveafig.com/p/part-1-my-life-is-a-lie?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web If you read the article above it explains that a true living household income is now at 140k if it were to be compared to 1963.
BREAKING: Ukraine has agreed to a peace deal that would see an end to the war with Russia, a U.S. official tells Fox News. "There are some minor details to be sorted out but they have agreed to a peace deal," the official said. Ukraine's decision to agree to the deal came hours after Russia launched an overnight attack on Kyiv that killed at least 6 people and injured 13. https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1993321596895863114
https://www.fox5dc.com/news/2-us-national-guard-members-shot-near-white-house I am grieving. Please pray. Two National guardsmen were shot in DC just now. Their condition is not known.
This is a revealing article that speaks to an unpleasant reality. Being sensitive and responsive to your conscience will at times pit one against our two-party political system. https://crisismagazine.com/opinion/...0_a5a13625fd-4269e8fd6a-387680386&mc_cid=4269 Conscience is a gift that allows God to be the determiner of even political stances.
That’s exactly it. Too much. Overwhelming tragedy. I just learned that they are in critical condition. The suspect was shot but is expected to be okay.
Must Christians Support Israel? It lasts a short 13 minutes, but it’s an excellent explanation… The seed of Abraham that will become as numerous as the stars in the sky refers to all of us who accept Christ. The Jews were given the land so that Jesus could be born and so that they could spread that “seed” of faith to the world, because God came to save all people. The one who is chosen is the one who accepts God, which is theologically correct because God gives freedom; if God were the one who chooses in that sense, then a person would have no choice, and God would not have given freedom—something that would contradict the very idea of God and His meaning. We actually see things in a very limited way, but God’s plan is spiritual, not physical. In the Old Testament, God gives Abraham the land forever, but Jesus tells Pilate that His kingdom—which we proclaim at every Mass will never end—is a heavenly one. This means that Christ’s statement overturns the idea of an earthly land in the Middle East—not just the present-day Israel, but any kind of earthly title, whether material, national, racial, or positional… all of it falls away. Acting according to God’s law in the spiritual world shapes our “heavenly status”: the more you belonged to God on earth, the more you built your status in heaven, closer to God. This also shows why the Catholic Church, despite all its human flaws, must remain united, because the Protestant Reformation and all later divisions—no matter how much they speak of Christ—stop living Him out in deeds. With the first split, Satan enters and pulls theological truth away from people… Unfortunately, he leads many astray, and today we have Christians who violate God’s laws while quoting Scripture, just as the Pharisees quoted God’s laws while killing the innocent Son of God—God Himself.
An Afghan national accused of shooting two West Virginia National Guard members in Washington, DC on Wednesday worked with the CIA while serving in a "partner force" in Afghanistan. The ambush attack was just steps from the White House. https://thepostmillennial.com/afgha...d-shooting-worked-with-cia?utm_campaign=64470 There it is.
It crossed my mind that the shooting was a warning to the President. Possibly in regards to what is going on with Candace Owens should the Whitehouse confirm her allegations.

The young woman guardsman passed away this evening. So now the charge against the suspect will be first degree murder. She was 20 years old. The young man shot is 24 years old. He is still in critical condition. Both guardsmen were just sworn in and were shot on their first day of duty. This is so sickeningly tragic.
