On September 26, about 200 faithful of the Society of St. Pius X (FSSPX) made their annual pilgrimage to the Canadian Martyrs’ Shrine in Midland, Ontario. Their published programme scheduled veneration of the relics at the Shrine at 3 p.m. The pilgrims were denied entrance to the church. According to LifeSiteNews.com, this was ordered by the Archdiocese of Toronto. The FSSPX has made this pilgrimage for years. In September 2025, more than 500 FSSPX pilgrims attended. In contrast to the denial of entry to the FSSPX pilgrims, in July 2026 the Archdiocese of Toronto advertised the annual Tamil pilgrimage at the same Shrine. Its announcement invited “Tamil Catholics and other Tamil-speaking devotees” to a programme including Rosary, Eucharist and Adoration, concluding: “All Are Welcome!” Picture: LifeSiteNews.com, #newsDemzixxpwy
Amazing shrine. Wife and I took the trip to Midland ON about 5 years ago. The vastness looking out from the Overlook platform to the river was expansive. It is hard to believe the Indians and Jesuit Missionaries paddled these great distances. Fall colors were spectacular. The restored Indian village was so interesting to see.

Pope Leo XIV met and blessed children from the Catholic Marcel Van School at Metz-Nancy-Lorraine Airport. Marcel Van is an école hors contrat: it operates without a contract with the French state. That means it receives none of the usual state funding and has greater educational independence.

Birds of a feather flock together for a relaxed round-table meeting in Metz: Leo XIV sat down with a small group of European leaders and dignitaries — several of whom have rather compromised records on life issues. Around the table were Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron, Prince Albert II and Princess Charlène of Monaco, Grand Duke Guillaume of Luxembourg, Luxembourg PM Luc Frieden, Andorra’s Co-Prince Bishop Josep-Lluís Serrano Pentinat, and former European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.
À l'issue de l'événement organisé à Metz sous le titre « Aux racines de l'Europe », le #Pape a rencontré certaines des personnalités présentes lors d'un entretien privé dans une salle du Palais des Congrès. Dix invités étaient présents, dont les Macron, le prince Albert et Charlène, M. Frieden et M. Juncker.
St. Thomas Aquinas ~Endure your agonizing earthly poverty with silent, obedient grace, for your glorious, eternal reward is waiting for you in the Holy Kingdom above.
A well-staged Papal event. Days of saturation coverage, politicians lining up, interfaith delegations, enormous crowds and journalists analysing every gesture: Leo XIV’s visit to France has become much more than a trip. Whatever one thinks of the motives behind it, secular French media and laicist public institutions have helped turn the visit into a national event — and staged the image of a Catholic revival in one of Europe’s most famously secular republics.
The World celebrates him: All glory is given to this person who systematically destroys Our Church. The mainstream media loves him. At the same time Christ is cast out, abused by him as a veneer for his synodal poison
‘The Catholic Church - the Teacher of Mankind’ ~ Imprimatur, 1905 ~ ‘The Teachings of the Saints In Their Own Words’ ~ By a Parish Priest; Love of God; part I; pages 7 Love of God God has loved us from all eternity. Children of men, says the Lord, remember that I first loved you. You had not yet been born, the world itself did not exist, and even then I loved you. As long as I am God, I have loved you; I have loved you as long as I have loved Myself. -------- St. Alphonsus Liguori Is not Jesus worthy of thy heart's warmest affection? If thou feelest no very ardent love, still wish and pray to thy Blessed Saviour that the holy fire may be kindled within thy breast. Think often that thy Redeemer's labors and pains were endured for thee, an ungrateful sinner. For thy sake Jesus shed His Blood and died upon a cross; submitting to a temporal death, that thou mightest attain to life eternal. He took upon Himself thy delinquencies, and canceled thy outstanding debt by fastening it to His Cross …Máis
"The greatest security we can have in this world that we are in the grace of God, does not consist in the feelings that we have of love to Him, but rather in an irrevocable abandonment of our whole being into His hands, and in a firm resolution never to consent to any sin great or small. -------- St. Francis of Sales"
Putin can't possible fall for this. No less after Rubio said, We are NOT intermediators. We are ON the side of Ukraine. He has too much hope in him for peace and in human beings who don't act nor talk like human beings.
How odd. Ukraine backed by NATO attacked Russia during elections with over 1,600 drones. They said nothing. NOW? Now I see this. NATO jets scrambled in Poland, Romania as Russia strikes Ukraine According to information published by Romania’s Ministry of National Defense on August 20, 2025, two German Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets were scrambled from Mihail Kogălniceanu Air Base in response to one of the heaviest Russian drone assaults in recent weeks targeting Ukrainian territory along the Danube River. Romania’s air surveillance tracked waves of Shahed drones directed against Izmail, a strategic Ukrainian port located only meters from NATO territory. The same night, Poland’s operational command confirmed that its own fighter jets had been scrambled and air defense systems placed on maximum readiness due to Russian long-range aviation strikes against Ukraine, which included the use of hypersonic missiles.
Speaking to journalists earlier on Wednesday, Rubio expressed his hope that the Russian president would arrive for the summit. “We hope that’s an invitation he’ll accept. There’s an opportunity in December if that happens.” That must be one of his sick jokes again. Except it's not funny at all.
About St. Edmund the Martyr ~ [Revelation 2-10] ~ Do not fear what you are about to suffer...Be faithful until death, and I will give you the Crown of Life.
It's been said by many that Trump has something big coming. They said, it's not good either. When I read this I felt I knew why he was doing it. When he said he was going to nuke Russia he was not kidding. Just like the other day he said, he was going to wipe out Iranian people. AGAIN! So why not build two more military bases close to Russia? Just crawling closer and closer to Russia. An easy target. usnews.com/…en-two-new-military-bases-in-greenlan… Distance from Greenland to Russia is 5,017 kilometers. This air travel distance is equal to 3,117 miles.
Well staged: Macron attends Papal Eucharist. Having alledgely planned to attend none of Pope Leo XIV's liturgies, President Macron has suddenly “rearranged his diary” to attend the Papal Eucharist in Metz. The cathedral is located in the department of Moselle, which is not governed by France’s 1905 laicist law. It was part of Germany when the law was adopted, and it still operates under the Alsace-Moselle concordat system. Macron is now contributing to the wave of enthusiasm generated for Leo XIV. Some journalists framed Macron’s initially announced absence from Leo XIV’s papal liturgies as a deliberate snub. They linked it to reports that the Vatican had declined opportunities for additional private time between Macron and the Pope.
Élysée says Macron has “rearranged his diary” to attend papal Mass at Cathedral in Metz, which is in Moselle, which, being German at the time, is not covered by the 1905 laïcité law, allowing Macron to cash in on ‘le feeling’ generated by Leo visit.
The gospel for the ordinary form on September 27 said the one who changed his mind and did God’s will when asked even though he originally said no comes to mind here.
A drone show lit up the night sky over Lourdes on Sunday, forming sacred images and the motto of Pope Leo XIV’s visit: “So that the world may have life.” Earlier in the evening, Leo XIV joined Lourdes’ famous torchlight procession, walking among tens of thousands of candle-carrying pilgrims — a different approach from his predecessors, who presided over the procession from a terrace.
Drones lit up the night sky over Lourdes on Sunday, September 27, bringing Pope Leo XIV’s torchlight procession to a spectacular close. The drones formed images of the Virgin Mary, a dove and cross, along with the motto of the Pope’s visit to France: “Pour que le monde ait la vie” (“So that the world may have life.”)
