"There are those who, infatuated with a dancer, a charioteer, or a gladiator fighting wild beasts, scheme and do everything possible so that their favorite is not defeated in the games. They weave great praises, defending them against their accusers and heaping insults upon their adversaries. Instead, when it comes to speaking in favor of Christianity, everyone looks at the ground, scratches themselves, yawns, and walks away mocked. Is it not a matter deserving of the greatest anger, when Christ turns out to be of less value to you than a dancer? You go to great lengths to defend the behavior of these people, even if it is the most indecent, but regarding the miracles of Christ, which have nevertheless attracted the attention of the entire world, you refuse to give them a single thought or care."
–St. John Chrysostom, Homily 17 on the Gospel of John, 4.

Saint Vincent Ferrer Tells How Only a Few Among Thousands Were Saved at God's Judgment Seat.
.
The following narrative from Saint Vincent Ferrer will show you what you may think about it. He relates that an archdeacon in Lyons gave up his charge and retreated into a desert place to do penance, and that he died the same day and hour as Saint Bernard. After his death, he appeared to his bishop and said to him, "Know, Monsignor, that at the very hour I passed away, thirty-three thousand people also died. Out of this number, Bernard and myself went up to heaven without delay, three went to purgatory, and all the others fell into Hell." Our chronicles relate an even more dreadful happening. One of our brothers, well-known for his doctrine and holiness, was preaching in Germany. He represented the ugliness of the sin of impurity so forceful that a woman fell dead of sorrow in front of everyone. Then, coming back to life, she said, "When I was presented before the Tribunal of God, sixty thousand people arrived at the same time from all parts of the world; out of that number, three were saved by going to Purgatory, and all the rest were damned." O abyss of the judgments of God! Out of thirty thousand, only five were saved! And out of sixty thousand, only three went to heaven! You sinners who are listening to me, in what category will you be numbered?... What do you say?... What do you think?...

✝️ 🇪🇸 🚸 Pilgrims of Our Lady of Christendom (Nuestra Señora de la Cristiandad) need your help.
🇪🇸 This pilgrimage from Oviedo to Covadonga exists to draw us back to God, inspired by the brave souls who began the Reconquista under Our Lady’s protection in Covadonga. We seek to promote and unite those who defend the traditional latin mass in Spain.
⛪️ The Sanctuary of Covadonga is the birthplace of the Reconquista, and the site of a rapidly growing annual pilgrimage by traditional youth groups and their families in recent years.
🏰 Oviedo was the capital of the Kingdom of Asturias, the first post-Islamic invasion Christian kingdom in the Iberian peninsula. Covadonga was the site of the first skirmish of the Reconquista and a famed Marian shrine.
🪙 Registration fees do not cover all expenses related to the pilgrimage. Any contribution, no matter how small, will help to continue this pilgrimage.

"For he who scans with bitterness the conduct of others, can never obtain pardon for the sins committed by himself. For God will determine the sentence, not only from the nature of our transgressions, but from the judgment which you have passed upon others".
–St. John Chrysostom, Homily 3 On the statues, 16.

Saint James of the Marches in condemning the errors of the Spirituals, inadvertently destroys sedevacantism as well.
He argues convincingly that per the promise of Christ in Matt. 16:18, there could never be two successive heretical Popes, and that God wouldn’t allow the Church to be without a Pope in such a way that the majority of faithful Catholics would be deceived into following heresy.

In what sense do humans bear the imprint of the Holy Trinity?
"It is said that the creature has a threefold relation to God, as to a threefold cause and this according to the three modes of relations that the Philosopher [Aristotle] posits in Book V of the Metaphysics. (1) In the first mode, the creature relates to God with a relation founded on the “one”, that is, with a relation of similarity, and this insofar as the creature is modeled and relates to God as to its exemplary cause. (2) In the second mode, that is, in relation to power, the creature relates to God as the product to the producer. (3) In the third mode, that is, in the relationship of measure, the creature refers to God insofar as it is ordered to Him as to a final cause.
[...] We have, therefore, clarified what the imprint in the creature consists of. But in relation to what does this imprint stand, on the part of God? Answer: the creaturely imprint is in relation to the appropriations of the three divine persons. The creature, in fact, through the first relation (that is, of similitude) represents the exemplary art, which is appropriated to the Son. Through the second relation, it represents the power of the producer, which is appropriated to the Father; through the third relation, it represents the goodness of the end, which is appropriated to the Holy Spirit".
–Bl. John Duns Scotus, Ordinatio, I, d. 3, pars 2, q. unica

"By me kings reign, and lawgivers establish justice; by me princes govern, and nobles; all the rulers of the earth."
Proverbs VIII, 15-16
This week, His Serene Highness Albert II, Prince of Monaco, vetoed a law passed by the Monegasque parliament that would legalize abortion up to the 12th week.
Abortion in Monaco remains formally illegal and permitted only in the exceptional cases of rape, life-threatening risk to the mother, and serious fetal malformation.
Although the situation in the country and in Europe as a whole is not perfect, and it is very easy for Monegasques to cross the border into France seeking abortions, and despite some personal past events involving Albert II, we cannot fail to thank God that there are still rulers willing to displease the world to preserve God's commandments, the sanctity of human life and the dignity of the human person (woman and baby).
