Deepertruth: Great and Unique Signs of the Sign Of The Cross

Great and Unique Signs of the Sign Of The Cross.  On Easter Day, St. Patrick and his companions appeared to walk through bolted doors to see the Pagan King.
Invited to sit down and parley, the Pagan priest, offered St. Patrick a drink laced with poison. Knowing this, St. Patrick did the Sign of the Cross over the cup and immediately the drink went from being hot to ice except the poison. Dumping out the poison,
St. Patrick again blessed the cup and the drink returned to normal. With everyone watching, the Pagan King Laoghaire was converted.
on a certain occasion St. Francis Xavier, by the sign of the cross, made sea-water fresh, so that his fellow-passengers and the crew could drink it;
In one town, when he tried to convince the locals to cut down a pine tree they venerated, they agreed -- but only if St. Martin would sit where the tree was going to fall! Martin seated himself directly under the path of the leaning tree and the townspeople began to cut from the other side.
However, just as the tree began to topple, Martin made the sign of the cross and the tree fell in the opposite direction -- slowly enough to miss the fleeing townspeople. Martin won many converts that day.

On 31 May 1996, Bishop Hendrik Bomers, with permission of the CDF permitted public veneration using the title, prayer, and image, while maintaining that the question of the supernatural character of the apparitions themselves was unresolved and left to the judgment of one's own conscience.
On 31 May 2002, Bishop Jozef Marianus Punt, Diocese of Haarlem-Amsterdam, declared the apparitions themselves to be of supernatural origin.

The aforementioned Doctrinary Dicastery pointed out that the Notification published on 25 May 1974, available on its web page, is still valid today.It states that, after suitable study, "it did not consist of the supernatural nature of the apparitions".

Stand In The Gap With Us And Saint Louis of France 8/25/2024.  (Lous IX of France) Crusading king. Canonized as a saint for his concern and compassion for the poor.
King Louis IX of France led a Crusade in the mid-1200s. He died during another Crusade in 1270. In 1297, to honor the king's efforts as a Crusader, the Roman Catholic Church made Louis IX a saint.
At his coronation, St. Louis bound himself by oath to act as God's anointed king. St. Louis is known for interpreting his kingly duties in the light of faith.
Louis IX, also called Saint Louis, (born April 25, 1214, Poissy, France—died August 25, 1270, near Tunis [now in Tunisia]; canonized August 11, 1297, feast day August 25), king of France from 1226 to 1270, the most popular of the Capetian monarchs.

Deepertruth: The Dangers of Indifferentism

The Dangers of Indifferentism.  Going back to 1983, I was living in Arkansas not too long before I would join the Military. I would develop an interest with the "Letters to the Editor" portion of the local news paper "Harrison Daily Times" .
The work I had been doing with the Knights of Columbus was getting a lot of responses, both pro and con, as they gave their opinions.
On one occasion I responded to a debate concerning Christmas.A lady called in on a local radio program when the announcer wished her a "Merry Christmas". She was not happy about the "season's greetings" and responded back to the announcer that if he wanted to join the Catholic Church in worshiping a "false Christ", he could do so. She said there was nothing to support that the early Christians celebrated Christmas.
This lady was not a supporter of Christmas. I wrote a letter to the editor in response to this lady informing the community that Pope Telephorus, the 8th successor of St. Peter, established the custom of "Midnight Mass". In fact, Christmas is literally taken from Christ's Mass! Even Santa Claus is taken from the real historical person of St. Nicholas. This was about the year 125 A.D. and I couldn't help but notice this was but a short 90 years after the Resurrection of the Lord.The Popular Christmas scene we see often today was something that St. Francis began in the 1200's.
The next evening, I received an angry phone call from an individual who told me he was raised a Catholic.
He proceeded to inform me that he had 12 years of Catholic School. I responded back in defense of the Catholic Faith when he retorted back that "if I wanted to be Catholic I could move elsewhere".

Bartholomew most certainly knew the Bride Groom and guests at the famed wedding feast of Cana when Jesus performed His first public Miracle (John 2:1-11).

According to the vision, those who receive communion and attend confession on the Feast of Mercy receive total forgiveness of sins. Pope John Paul II discussed the significance of the image of Divine Mercy in his homily for the canonization of St. Faustina: From that Heart [of Christ], Sr.

Deepertruth: Stand In The Gap With Us And Saint Rose of Lima

Stand In The Gap With Us And Saint Rose of Lima 8/23/2024.  
Almighty Father, I place the Precious Blood of Jesus before my lips before I pray, that my prayers may be purified before they ascend to Your divine altar.
Glory be to the Father, Who by His almighty power and love created me, making me in the image and likeness of God.
Glory be to the Son, Who by His Precious Blood delivered me from hell, and opened for me the gates of heaven.
Glory be to the Holy Spirit, Who has sanctified me in the sacrament of Baptism, and continues to sanctify me by the graces I receive daily from His bounty.
Glory be to the Three adorable Persons of the Holy Trinity, now and forever. Amen.
Mary, Queen of every heart, accept all that we are and bind us to Jesus with the bonds of love so that we may be yours forever and may be able to say in all truth: "I belong to Jesus through Mary".
She is the patron saint of embroiderers, gardeners, florists, people who are harassed for their piety, and those suffering family problems. She is the patroness of the Americas, the indigenous people of the Americas, and of Peru, India, and the Philippines.
 
The Catholic Church says that many miracles followed her death: there were stories that she had cured a leper, and that, at the time of her death, the city of Lima smelled like roses; roses also started falling from the sky. Many places in the New World are named Santa Rosa after her.
The first canonized saint of the New World has one characteristic of all saints—the suffering of opposition—and another characteristic which is more for admiration than for imitation—excessive practice of mortification.
She was born to parents of Spanish descent in Lima, Peru, at a time when South America was in its first century of evangelization.
