Only a Saint can come up with such beautiful prayers. But I do have a problem with The Blessed Be prayer. I don't think The Holy Ghost nor Saint Joseph ever gets enough attention. If you want to praise them more you can add Blessed Be The Holy Ghost Lord of Light and Love. And for Saint Joseph I add two more. Blessed Be Saint Joseph Foster Father of JESUS Christ, or Our Lord JESUS Christ, or Earthly Father of of Our Lord JESUS Christ. I don't usually like to add or remove anything from prayers of our Saints. But it does bother me they aren't praised enough.
Sancta Mater Holy Mother, pierce me through; In my heart each wound renew Of thy Saviour crucified. Sancta Mater istud agas, Crucifixi fige plagas Cordi meo valide.
On May 13, Leo XIV appointed Bishop José Guadalupe Torres Campos as the new Bishop of Ecatepec, Mexico. Born in León, Mexico, on January 19, 1960, he was ordained to the priesthood in 1984 for the Diocese of Irapuato. He was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Ciudad Juárez in 2005 and consecrated bishop in 2006. In 2008, he became the first Bishop of Gómez Palacio. Francis promoted him in 2014 as Bishop of Ciudad Juárez. The city sits opposite El Paso, Texas, on the US border. Among the Mexican bishops’ he is responsible for “Human Mobility” structures. Most of Leo XIV’s new bishops have publicly advocated for migration and criticized any immigration crackdowns. Migration-Bishop Monsignor Torres Campos is mainly known for ministry related to illegal immigration. In 2016, Pope Francis chose Ciudad Juárez as the final stop of his Mexico trip, speaking about many migrants who are “enslaved, kidnapped, extorted”. Bishop Torres Campos repeatedly celebrated Eucharistic border liturgies …ଅଧିକ
The Provost appointed the Marxist priest José Guadalupe Torres Campos as the new Bishop of Ecatepec, Mexico—a man who profanes the Mass by using it as leftist political propaganda to promote illegal immigration, and who, when not dressed in the guise of a Catholic priest, wears civilian clothes—a sign that he repudiates the Catholic priesthood.
This has been the strategy that the anti-Christian George Soros has used to promote his open-borders agenda. And here we see these Marxists—such as José Guadalupe Torres Campos—instrumentalizing the Mass as leftist propaganda, alongside other Marxist priests—such as Mark Seitz—and activist groups that promote illegal immigration. Bergoglio supports Soros-financed leftist movement responsible for USA’s Civil Unrest
Video online (activar subtítulos en idiomas): youtube.com/watch?v=3OEzd_QDy78 Faith in the Fire is a powerful documentary uncovering the truth about Christian persecution in Nigeria, which many of the country’s church leaders have described as genocide. You can stand with persecuted Nigerian Christians by signing up with Barnabas Aid. https://brnw.ch/standwithus The media often portrays the violence as simply a conflict between farmers and cattle herders. Faith in the Fire, produced by the international Christian aid agency Barnabas Aid, corrects this false narrative. Most importantly, the documentary shows how Nigerian believers continue to hold fast to their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ in the face of this extreme violence. Who are the persecutors? Christians in Northern and Middle Belt Nigeria suffer relentless attacks by Islamist terrorist groups such as Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province. Christian farming communities in the Middle Belt also endure violence …ଅଧିକ

Worse than Germany: Bishop Vincenzo Viva of Albano, Italy, spoke on May 16 at the Parish of Santa Maria Stella during a homosexual "prayer", as Outreach.faith reports. Main quotes, slightly shortened while preserving his pro-homosexual tone. - For the first time, the Diocese of Albano is holding a "prayer vigil" against homophobia and transphobia, recognizing the "suffering" these attitudes have caused within both the Church and society. - This diocese wants to continue this effort alongside other dioceses in Italy, moving forward cautiously but deliberately, inspired by the recent Synodal process. - The day when it is no longer necessary to hold vigils like this will be the day when every person is recognized - and I use this word with full awareness and deliberation - as a living, original, irreplaceable part of the Body of Christ. - I do not wish to speak this evening of welcoming, but of recognition and full integration. - Welcoming presupposes that someone arrives from the outside …ଅଧିକ
The apostate Italian homosexual activist Vincenzo Viva—in rebellion against God and the Church, yet in full communion with Prevost—demands the recognition of sodomy.
The Lavender Mafia The rebellion against God and the Church in Italy demonstrates to us that there are no legitimate Popes, but rather that the Italian capo of the sodomite sect usurps the Chair of Peter. The fact that this 'Bishop of Rome'—Prevost—is unable to establish order in the Diocese of Rome, but rather sees his own priests rebel against God and the Church, demonstrates his complicity in the Great Apostasy.
Hosts desecrated: A break-in at St Georg's Church in Germersheim, in the Diocese of Speyer in Germany, left a trail of destruction overnight on Thursday. The most disturbing aspect was the desecration of the tabernacle: the perpetrators stole the chalice and scattered the consecrated hosts on and around the altar.
Knittelsheim – Ein Einbruch in die katholische Kirche St. Georg hat in der Nacht von Mittwoch auf Donnerstag eine Spur der Verwüstung hinterlassen. Die Gottesdienste am kommenden Sonntag um 9.30 Uhr und am Donnerstag, 21. Mai 2026, um 18.30 Uhr fallen aus. Wann die Kirche wieder öffnen kann, ist noch offen.

Dort brachen sie die Türen zur Sakristei und zum Umkleideraum der Ministranten auf, durchwühlten sämtliche Schränke und Schubladen und hinterließen ein Chaos....

German woman simulates Eucharist: The X.com user IgnemInTerram, who has been active only since February 2026, published a video which was allegedly filmed at the German Catholic Congress (Katholikentag) from 13 to 17 May. There is no information about who filmed it, when it was recorded, or where exactly. The video appears to show a woman simulating the Eucharist by holding the chalice and speaking the words of consecration while a priest stands behind her.

Worse than Germany: Rev. Víctor Hugo Gaviria Molina of the Diocese of Buga in Colombia has a very flamboyant online presence under the name "Padre Torvic". He publishes videos of himself dancing and doing fitness exercises, as well as body-focused imagery. Last week, he posted a video of himself dancing in liturgical vestments at the Eucharist at a table on a sports field. He first gained fame after appearing in underwear as a contestant on the reality TV show Desafío The Box 2022.

From Saturday 16 to Monday 18 May 2026 Les Bravades de Saint-Tropez | Local festival … ‘Les Bravades’ have taken place in Saint-Tropez for years on 16, 17 and 18 May. They are a display of the pride which residents of Saint-Tropez have in their glorious military past and of their deep devotion to their Patron Saint. HISTORY In 68 AD, Saint Tropez publicly refused to renounce his Christian faith in front of Nero. Nero had him beheaded. His body was then placed in a boat with a rooster and a dog to symbolize the disrespect shown to the emperor. The boat was then pushed into the River Arno. It was carried by the currents to the shores of Saint-Tropez. At the end of the 15th century, the town of Saint-Tropez was rebuilt, fortified and repopulated. The role of the new inhabitants of Saint-Tropez was to defend the town and its surroundings. They also carried their weapons to celebrate the Saint's feast day, which took place on May 17 in the Saint-Tropez chapel "outside the walls". The …ଅଧିକ
A newly released Armenian-language statement from the Armenian Apostolic Church says that Pope Leo XIV and Catholicos Aram I addressed the idea of convening a “Third Vatican Council” during a private meeting at the Vatican on May 18. The Vatican’s summary of the meeting did not mention the topic. The Armenian Patriarchate said the two discussed “the establishment of a common date for Easter, a day of commemoration for all martyrs, and the convening of a Third Vatican Council.” According to the Armenian statement, Aram I emphasized the “urgent necessity” of these initiatives for the life of “the universal Christian Church.” The statement added that Leo XIV expressed “understanding and support” regarding the issues raised. #newsXvhelmczqf
They likely believe the Second Vatican Council wasn't heretical enough. Over the past 60 years, many new heresies and apostasies have accumulated that urgently need confirmation by the Third Vatican Council.
The Vatican’s decision to award the Grand Cross of the Order of Pius IX to Mohammad Hossein Mokhtari - Iran’s ambassador to the Holy See - has sparked controversy. Mokhtari has served as ambassador since 2023 and received the decoration on Tuesday together with twelve other diplomats. Iranian state-linked media portrayed the award as a personal recognition by Leo XIV and linked it to the Pope’s criticism of military escalation against Iran. The Vatican, however, stressed that the decoration was part of a routine diplomatic custom. Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said that the Order of Pius IX is traditionally granted to all ambassadors accredited to the Holy See after roughly two years of service. The medal was not personally handed over by Leo XIV, but by Archbishop Paolo Rudelli of the Secretariat of State. The diploma was signed by Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin. #newsRriwyrpvvv
