Cardinal Pizzaballa on Palm Sunday: “In this afternoon of Palm Sunday we gather without a procession, without palms waving through the streets. This absence is not merely a matter of formalities. It is the war that has interrupted our festive journey, making even the simple joy of following our King difficult.” “Today Jesus weeps once more over Jerusalem. He weeps over this city, which remains a sign of both hope and sorrow, of grace and suffering. He weeps over this Holy Land, still unable to recognize the gift of peace. He weeps for all the victims of a war that seems without end: for divided families, for shattered hopes. But the tears of Jesus are never fruitless. They open our eyes, challenge us, and reveal the truth.”
Shepherds ought to protect their flocks from wolves. Instead, we find them demanding that the wolves share our pastures. Last week, The Atlantic’s Francis X. Rocca penned a damning indictment of America’s Catholic bishops, although I doubt he intended it as such. “The most urgent political concern for America’s Catholic leaders is no longer abortion; it’s immigration,” Rocca wrote. Noting that immigration concerns are addressed in Catholic teaching, he added, “But now immigration dominates U.S. Catholic leaders’ public messaging.” How shameful. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade nearly four years ago, but the butchering of unborn children in their mother’s wombs continues anyway. According to the abortion industry’s official research center, the Guttmacher Institute, abortions increased across the U.S. between 2024 and 2025, remaining above the one million mark in both cases, while the number of abortions committed via the abortion drug mifepristone increased by 26…
29. March 2026 29. March 2026 03/29/2026 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. Clinging desperately to the myth of the United States as a former superpower will no longer change anything. A whole series of faded dreams has come to naught—who still believes today in a “made in the USA” shield? Virtually all American military bases in the Persian Gulf, which were intended to act as a deterrent by their mere presence, now instill fear in the soldiers fleeing from them. In Iraq, the U.S. Embassy has ordered all its citizens to leave this country, which has been occupied for 23 years, and warned them not to approach the military bases, the embassy building (the largest U.S. embassy in the world), or the consulate under any circumstances. The U.S. Embassy in the fortified “Green Zone” in Baghdad following the drone attack on March 14, 2026. According to estimates, the U.S. provided Iraq with between $12 billion and $40 billion after 2003. Of course, this was primarily to exploit Iraq’s oil …
Iraq oil revenues are (were) directly deposited in a bank in New York. The Iraqi government then has to itemize needs in the government to pay for its services. To get money back. Looks like that will be over over.

The Christmas Truce WWI 1914 Edward G. L II on Dec 10, 2017 The Christmas truce (German: Weihnachtsfrieden; French: Trêve de Noël) refers to a series of widespread but unofficial ceasefires along the Western Front of World War I around Christmas 1914. In the week leading up to the 25th, French, German, and British soldiers crossed trenches to exchange seasonal greetings and talk. In some areas, men from both sides ventured into no man's land on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to mingle and exchange food and souvenirs. There were joint burial ceremonies and prisoner swaps, while several meetings ended in carol-singing. Men played games of football (soccer) with one another, giving one of the most memorable images of the truce. Peaceful behavior was not ubiquitous; fighting continued in some sectors, while in others the sides settled on little more than arrangements to recover bodies. The following year, a few units arranged ceasefires but the truces were not nearly as …More
Isaiah 42:1-7 “formed you, and set you as a covenant for the people, a light for the nations.” This text foreshadows the presence of Jesus in the world. It can also challenge us. The covenant God makes with us is to fill us with his grace. Let us share his grace by helping people discover joy in their lives. John 12:1-11 “Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil made from genuine aromatic nard and anointed the feet of Jesus.” When a person welcomes God’s love, their heart overflows with the sweet fragrance of love. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
Christ washes his disciples' feet. The treason of Judas. The new commandment of love. 1Before the festival day of the pasch, Jesus knowing that his hour was come, that he should pass out of this world to the Father: having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end. 2 And when supper was done, (the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray him,) 3 Knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and goeth to God; 4 He riseth from supper, and layeth aside his garments, and having taken a towel, girded himself. 5 After that, he putteth water into a basin, and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. [1] "Before the festival day of the pasch": This was the fourth and last pasch of the ministry of Christ, and according to the common computation, was in the thirty-third year of our Lord: and in the year of the world 4036.

I was in the middle of listening to exactly what Russia was doing to help or not help Iran. I will finish it and then post it. if I can find it again. Not sure who posted it. But was from a Russian channel I believe.
