1 Corinthians 12:12-14, 27-31a
“In one Spirit we were all baptized into one body.”
To be with God is to be united with every person.
John 19:25-27
“Woman, behold, your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.”
To receive God’s love is to be with people.

Even as pope, Leo XIV uses his time to help his family with everyday problems. His brother John Prevost recently bought a new computer but could not get it to work properly. He called his brother at the Vatican, who explained step by step how to solve the problem. John also revealed that Leo XIV helped him with his tax return last year.
In an interview with Italian broadcaster TG5 for Leo XIV’s 71st birthday today, John Prevost spoke about his brother’s life as pope.
The brothers last met in July, when John joined Leo XIV during his summer stay at Castel Gandolfo. They spent ten days together, much of it at the papal summer residence.
John said they relaxed by the pool, read books, took naps, watched television and went swimming.
Leo XIV also took his relatives to several monasteries and showed them where he lives in the Vatican.
Asked how Leo XIV is coping with his new role, John said his brother “hasn’t collapsed.” He described him as facing the situation with humor, strength and …More

The grief of Mary was so great that, were it divided amongst all men, it would suffice to cause their immediate death… ~ St. Bernardine of Siena

A fascinating and disturbing article: “Making All Religions One.”
The article traces the rise of modern ecumenism and argues that the movement was not simply a spontaneous theological development, but was also influenced by powerful American foundations, political interests, and even the psychological-warfare apparatus of the U.S. national-security establishment.
One of the most intriguing figures is Henry Kissinger, who in the 1950s was involved in the Rockefeller Brothers Fund’s Special Studies Project, where Jesuit theologian John Courtney Murray was brought into discussions concerning America’s future. Murray had previously been censured by Rome (good Catholic popes), yet later became an important theological influence at the Second Vatican Council.
The article then follows Murray’s remarkable transition from being silenced by Rome to becoming one of the influential voices in the development of Dignitatis Humanae. It also points to the young Karol Wojtyła, as another important …More

Making All Religions One On the foundations that paid for the ecumenical age, the war planners who weaponized it, and the popes who condemned it in advance "That they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me."1 Everyone quotes it. It has been on the letterhead of every ecumenical body since 1910, it gets read at every interfaith breakfast, and it is the single verse you can count on hearing whenever somebody wants you to stop asking which church is the Church. It is also Our Lord's prayer on the night before He died. In the 20th century that prayer was overheard by the men who ran the foundations and men who planned the wars, and what they heard in it was an opening. I don't believe the drive to dissolve the visible Church into a process of convergence, the thing that matures in our own decade into talk of an Abrahamic house of faith, was a spontaneous movement of the Spirit across the denominations …

Once, the court musicians failed to please King Louis XIII of France. Known for his temper, the king decided to punish them by cutting their pay in half.
Fortunately, the court jester had an idea for how they could make their point.
That evening, two musicians appeared before the king to perform. But they were dressed rather strangely: one wore a shirt with no pants,
while the other wore pants with no shirt.
The king stared at them in disbelief.
“What is the meaning of this?”
The musicians bowed and replied, “Your Majesty, men who receive only half their salary can only afford to dress halfway.”
Sometimes a little confidence—and a little humor—can say more than a long argument.

Yankee Doodle Dandy
In 18th century English culture a “dandy” was a man obsessed with gaudy fashion. A “macaroni” was a particularly outrageous dandy, one who has surrendered all masculinity in favor of ridiculous effeminate fashion, such as absurdly tall powdered and perfumed wigs. A “doodle” was a simpleton.
So when British soldiers began referring to the colonial rebels as “Yankee doodle dandys” who stuck feathers in their hats and called them “macaronis,” their intent to was to deliver a stinging insult—basically they were calling the Americans rubes and sissies.
As has happened often in history, the intended insult was appropriated and embraced by those to whom it was directed. Nowadays “Yankee Doodle” is considered one of America’s defining patriotic songs.
Archibald Willard's famous painting “The Spirit of ‘76,” was originally called “Yankee Doodle.”

The Spiritual Battle for True Womanhood
Fr. Altier emphasizes women's inherent value and strength, particularly mothers, highlighting their unique role in creation as the closest beings to God because of their capacity for love. He expresses concern about societal attitudes towards women, particularly in light of a recent case where a woman killed her children, arguing that such actions are a rejection of their divine purpose and a consequence of extreme ideologies. He criticizes the notion that women should have absolute power over life and death, drawing parallels to the biblical story of Adam and Eve and the temptation to be like God.
He further states that the decline of society and the church is linked to the erosion of women’s morality, which is seen as the foundation of both. Satan has deceived women into rejecting their true nature and embracing a masculine ideal, leading to societal imbalance and anger. Women are urged to embrace their femininity, reject Satan’s lies, and live …More
