Wounded Art: Bishop Hermann Glettler of Innsbruck, Austria, has encircled a loaned statue of the Sacred Heart from Vienna’s Votive Church with string lights. Entitled “Wounded Light”, the result is on display at an exhibition in the Kunsthaus Mürzzuschlag from 25 April to 14 June 2026. The bishop's Instagram post reads: “On the polished surface of the figure are auratic cones of light, sites of inflammation, and light-shy wounds.” On Wednesday, Pope Leo XIV received Bishop Glettler after the general audience.

Among Benedictines, the Roman Rite and the Novus Ordo coexist very peacefully side by side, said Abbot Primate Jeremias Schröder, a German Benedictine, in an interview with KNA on 30 April. Throughout the order, there are around ten abbeys that celebrate the old rite, mostly in France. The majority belong to the Congregation of Solesmes. Fontgombault Abbey was the first of a group of monasteries that celebrate according to the old rite and they are fully integrated into the Solesmes congregation. Most monasteries in that congregation use the Novus Ordo. In addition, there is Le Barroux Abbey and its daughter foundations, which were initially oriented towards the Lefebvrist movement. Following the episcopal consecrations in 1988, the monastery returned to full communion with Rome is now under the authority of Abbot Schröder. He also mentioned the community in Norcia, Italy (pictured). Novus Ordo in Fontgombault Abbot Schröder summarised: "We all treat one another with respect. As Abbot …Zêde
" I have already told thee that the delights of the world, without Me, are venomous thorns, and, that the vision of the intellect is deluded by them, and the affection of the will is deluded into loving them, and the memory into retaining remembrance of them. The unity of these powers of the soul is so great that I cannot be offended by one without all the others offending Me at the same time, because the one presents to the other, as I told thee, good or evil, according to the pleasure of the free will. This free will is bound to the affection, and it moves as it pleases, either with the light of reason or without it. Your reason is attached to Me when your will does not, by disordinate love, cut it off from Me ; you have also in you the law of perversity, that continually fights against the Spirit."
[Saint Catherine of Siena /Caterina di Benincasa/; XIV-XV Century AD; Siena, Republic of Siena/Rome, Papal States; aged 33; Spiritual Writer; Mystic; Virgin; Doctor of the Church] “How this soul was in great bitterness, on account of the blindness of those who are drowned below in the river. Then that soul, tormented by desire, considering her own imperfections and those of others, was saddened to hear of and to see the great blindness of creatures, notwithstanding the great goodness of God, in having placed nothing in this life, no matter in what condition, that could be an impediment to the salvation of creatures, but rather arranged for the exercising and proving of virtue in them. And, notwithstanding all this, she saw them, through self- love and disordinate affection, go under by the river and arrive at eternal damnation, and many who were in the river and had begun to come out, turn back again, scandalised at her, because they had heard of the sweet goodness of GOD, who had …Zêde
The six remaining cloistered Carmelite nuns in Jonquières, France, are closing their historic community, ending a 400-year legacy of prayer ... and martyrdom.
The Carmelite convent that gave us the 16 Martyrs of the French Revolution will close: "The Carmel of the Annunciation, founded in Compiègne in 1641 and following the Rule of St. Teresa of Avila, was the 53rd foundation in France at the time. It had a unique impact, giving the Church 16 holy martyrs. These 16 nuns were expelled from their monastery during the French Revolution and guillotined in Paris on July 17, 1794, out of hatred for the faith."

Italian Foreign Affairs Minister Antonio Tajani: "It is now evident that a picture of growing hostility toward the Christian community in Israel, in Gaza, in the West Bank, and in southern Lebanon is emerging. A violence that this time did not spare a French nun assaulted in front of the Upper Room on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. Attacks that also involve the symbols and places of Christian worship. We continue to ask the Israeli Government to guarantee religious freedom and the presence of Christians, who have always been promoters of peace in the Middle East."

Tuesday 29th April 1913 Factory Employee May Be Taken Any Moment Atlanta Georgian Tuesday April 29th 1913 Factory Employee May Be Taken Any Moment Atlanta Georgian A sensational arrest will be made in the Mary Phagan murder mystery within a few hours. It will be based on the firm theory of the police and detectives that the strangled girl was never outside the factory of the National Pencil Company from the time she went in there for her pay Saturday noon until her dead and mutilated body was taken to the morgue early Sunday morning. The detectives do not believe that Arthur Mullinax is guilty of the murder. They do not believe that J. M. Gantt is guilty of the murder. They do not place any dependence on the identifications of Gantt and Mullinax made by various persons before Chief of Detectives Lanford. They are confident that the author of the terrible deed was a person who is not under arrest at the present time. They know his name. They have talked with him. They have his story of …Zêde
Saint Joseph the Worker - May 1 Readings proper for the feast: Gn. 1:26-2:3 or Col. 3:14-24; Mt 13:54-58 Today is a wonderful occasion to reflect on the importance of work in the life of the human person, the family and the community. We are made in the image and likeness of God, we participate with God in the work of maintaining and sanctifying His creation. We work with Jesus; Jesus said “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working” (Jn. 5:17). Every day, St. Joseph, as a carpenter, provided for the family's needs with manual work. Thus the Church rightly points to him as the patron of workers. The dignity of the human person is constructed through work, and in the light of this truth, we can clearly perceive the fundamental connection between the person, work and society. Human activity - the Second Vatican Council recalls - proceeds from the human person and is ordered to the person. According to God's design and will, it must serve the true good of …Zêde
