Saint Donatus of Arezzo | Courageous Bishop & Martyr | Feast Day August 7 Today, the Church celebrates Donatus of Arezzo, whose feast day is observed on August 7. Saint Donatus lived during the 4th century, a time when Christians still faced periods of persecution within the Roman Empire. He eventually became the Bishop of Arezzo, where he devoted himself to preaching the Gospel, celebrating the sacraments, and strengthening the faith of the Christian community. Ancient tradition remembers Donatus as a holy shepherd known for his wisdom, charity, and unwavering trust in God. Several miracles are associated with his ministry, including accounts of restoring a broken chalice used for the Holy Eucharist—a sign that reminded the faithful of Christ's power to restore what has been broken. During a renewed wave of persecution, Saint Donatus refused to deny his faith in Jesus Christ. Remaining faithful to the end, he suffered martyrdom around AD 362, giving his life as a witness to the …Mai
Twenty-two previously undisclosed letters by members of the former Loyola Community in Slovenia have been included in the Vatican's ongoing canonical criminal trial, according to OSVNews.com (August 6). The letters were written during Easter 2000 after the community's superior, Sister Ivanka Hosta, asked the 40 sisters to write directly to Rupnik about their relationship with him as part of the Jubilee Year. The sisters were instructed to describe what had happened and to offer forgiveness in a process of reconciliation. Twenty-two of the letters describe psychological, spiritual or sexual abuse. The letters are held in the archives of the Loyola Community, now in the custody of the Archdiocese of Ljubljana. Their full contents have not been made public. According to OSVNews, the letters describe alleged manipulation, coercion, abuse of authority, and physical and sexual assaults. Several sisters said Fr Rupnik used spiritual direction and religious language to pressure them into acts …Mai
One must first understand why wars are fought in the first place. Christian Rakovsky, a founder of Jewish Bolshevism and one of the architects of World War II, was very clear on why that war was fought. First, to punish Germany for printing their own money and prevent their example from spreading to other nations. Second, to prevent Germany's nationalistic spirit from spreading to other nations. Third, and most importantly, to weaken and destroy the Catholic Church. Here are Rakovsky's own words, tape recorded and reprinted in the book Red Symphony by Dr. J. Landowsky "Hitler, this uneducated and elementary man . . . took over for himself the privilege of manufacturing money . . . Are you capable of imagining what would have come of this system if it had infected a number of other states . . . This is very serious. . . . There is only one solution - war. "We have yet another reason, a religious one. Communism cannot be the victor if it will not have suppressed the still living Christianity …Mai

"WOULD that I could cry out" (said this blessed soul, when under Divine illumination she saw these things), "loud enough to strike with fear every man upon the earth, and say, Miserable beings, why suffer ye yourselves to be so blinded by this world as to make no provision for the dire strait ye will find your selves in at the hour of death ? Ye all shelter yourselves under the hope of God's mercy, which ye say is so great ; and ye consider not that this very goodness of God will rise up in judgment against you for having opposed the will of so good a Master: His mercy ought to constrain you to do all His Will, and not encourage you to do evil. Be assured that His justice cannot yield, but must in one way or other be fully satisfied. Let no one buoy himself up saying, ' I …Mai
"Let no one buoy himself up saying, ' I shall confess ; and then I shall receive a plenary indulgence, where by I shall be cleansed from all my sins and get through safely.' Know that a plenary indulgence requires confession and contrition ; and this latter is so difficult to obtain, that if ye knew how difficult, ye would tremble with fear, and rather make sure of not gaining than of gaining the indulgence."

Leo XIV will wear liturgical vestments by his homosexual tailor Filippo Sorcinelli, 51, during the celebrations today in Assisi and on 22 August in Rimini. Sorcinelli said this in an interview with Corriere.it on 2 August. The Assisi vestments draw inspiration from 13th- and 14th-century paintings of the Porziuncola, while the Rimini vestments, created for a Eucharist by the sea, feature porthole motifs symbolizing water as the source of life. Sorcinelli says every papal vestment is designed specifically for the place and liturgy in which it will be used. He first met the future pope when he was still a cardinal, fitting him with a mitre presented by Augustinian confreres from Vienna. Sorcinelli says he later saw the same mitre reappear after Prevost's election as pope. Leo XIV's election helped Sorcinelli overcome a deep existential crisis. After more than a decade designing vestments for Pope Francis, Sorcinelli had considered leaving liturgical design to focus on organ music and his …Mai

Chapter XXVI ~ The Third Dungeon The Red Hot Floor Look into this room. What a dreadful place it is! The roof is red hot; the floor is like a thick sheet of red hot iron. See, on the middle of that red hot floor stands a girl. She looks about sixteen years old. Her feet are bare, she has neither shoes nor stockings on her feet; her bare feet stand on the red hot burning floor. The door of this room has never been opened before since she first set her foot on the red hot floor. Now she sees that the door is opening. She rushes forward. She has gone down on her knees on the red hot floor. Listen, she speaks! She says; "I have been standing with my feet on this red hot floor for years. Day and night my only standing place has been this red hot floor. Sleep never came on me for a moment, that I might forget this horrible burning floor. Look," she says, "at my burnt and bleeding feet. Let me go off this burning floor for one moment, only for one single, short moment. Oh, that in the endless …Mai

August 6 - Blessed Tadeusz Dulny Blessed Tadeusz Dulny, also known as Tadeo Dulny, Taddeo Dulny, and Thaddeus Dulny, was born on 8 August 1914 in Kszczonowice, Swietokrzyskie, Poland, as one of eight children of Jan and Antonina Dulny. He grew up in a deeply religious family that fostered his own piety and devotion. Tadeusz's strong calling to the priesthood led him to become a seminarian in the diocese of Wloclawek, Poland. Although he was not an exceptional student, he was admired for his devout nature and his commitment to his vocation. However, the outbreak of World War II and the Nazi invasion of Poland brought about a sudden and tragic turn of events. On 7 October 1939, Tadeusz, along with other seminarians and their teachers, was arrested by the Nazis. They were taken prisoners and confined in the Salesian College of Lad, which had been transformed into a temporary detention center. Despite the dire circumstances, the teachers continued their clandestine instruction of the …Mai
Well, NATO which is the US at the front of this war will pay dearly. As I warned since last year. It will take trump to cause WW lll. And here we are. They can't win on the battlefield so they go inside to kill many, many children and civilians. That's what NATO wants. Just like in Iran. Palestine, Lebanon and other countries. I will never forget how they bombed nearly 200 little girls in school. Or chose young boys and girls playing soccer to test out their new weapon. Look what the forked tongue beast is doing in Cuba. Killing many children and starving them. How can the babies survive who need special care to keep machines going without electricity? They don't care. they only care about their greed, pride and deceptions to lead others into hell with them. That's all they care about. GOD has shown us enough signs that man is a beast. But still many defend him. What a shame on them.

The Real Reason Behind Trump’s Yen Intervention Aug. 6, 2026, 7:00 p.m. ET nytimes.com/…6/opinion/treasury-yen-trump-currenc… By Eswar Prasad Dr. Prasad is a professor at Cornell University and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. It’s rare for the United States to intervene in another country’s currency policy. It usually happens because there is a crisis. But in recent cases involving Argentina, Japan and the United Arab Emirates, none of those countries had reached the level of emergency usually required. In all three the Trump administration has directly supported or offered support for their currencies. Why would the administration do this? After all, it seems risky and expensive to buy another country’s currency or even offer to temporarily swap dollars for that currency, especially one whose value is falling. None of these actions were born of benevolence. The administration has U.S. economic interests in mind but is also keen to propagate its policies and reward its …Mai
