Iraqi Chaldean Catholic priest Father Ragheed Aziz Ganni was murdered by Islamist militants in Mosul, Iraq, on June 3, 2007, after celebrating Mass. When armed men confronted him for refusing to close his church, he reportedly replied, "How can I close the house of God?" The gunmen demanded that he and his three companions convert to Islam. When they refused, all four were shot dead.

Oggi sono all’ospedale. La mia sofferenza è nulla a confronto degli altri ammalati. Preghiamo per tanti miracoli.

What do you think happened to the hemorrhaging woman after Jesus healed her? Or the paralytic? Or the blind man? Do you think miracles produce easy living? No. Where much has been given, much is expected. It's easy to look at the gospels and see Jesus instantly healing people. But what if you don't know what you're asking for? Of course Jesus can heal instantly, but He isn't a vending machine. How many receive miracles daily in ways they don't even notice? And like the 10 lepers Christ healed, only 1 came back to thank Him. We think healing is a favor, when really it's a calling. A miracle marks you. A miracle is an encounter with an invitation. The invitation to the dinner table. There is a cost of sitting at that table. The hemorrhaging woman is called Daughter, there is a cost to being a daughter of the King in a world run by the deceiver. The miracle was not that she stopped bleeding, it's that she was named DAUGHTER. The paralytic is forgiven, then told to take up his mat and walk. What you see as just a miracle, the gospel names as a call. Take your mat up and walk! The man born blind and given his sight begins his new life after the miracle with trial by interrogation and being cast out from the synagogue. The healing did not protect him from suffering. In that order you see three distinct aspects of healing. The hemorrhaging woman: NAMED 
The paralytic: CALLED 
The blind man: TRIED A miracle demands a death and a resurrection for the wound to be transfigured. That's the cross. St. Teresa of Ávila believed that comfort was poison to the soul. And yet we have been bred inside one of the most comfortable societies that's ever existed. Could a blind man tell you what the color yellow looks like? No. Could a comfortable man tell you the extent to which he is held by his own disordered comforts? No. That's why suffering brings you closer to God. Because you can't know the suffering Christ without binding your own suffering to Christ. But blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. The question after a miracle isn't, how do you feel now? It's, WHO DO YOU BELONG TO? Your feelings and words cannot answer that question. It is your life that has to answer. ❤️‍🔥

The unveiling of a 14-metre statue of Pope Leo XIV in Peru leaves me rather uncomfortable. I understand the cultural dimension: Leo is a Peruvian citizen, a former Bishop of Chiclayo and once Apostolic Administrator of Callao. There is genuine affection and national pride here, and understandably so. But monumentalising a living Pope whose pontificate is still unfolding still troubles me. Leo hasn't even really done anything yet! Catholic devotion to the Petrine office must never become a cult of personality. The greatness of a Pope is measured by his fidelity to Christ and his service to the Church, not by the scale of the monuments erected in his honour. The successor of Peter is called to point us towards Christ, not himself.
Yesterday a giant statue of Pope Leo XIV has unveiled in Peru. At 14 metres it is the largest statute of Pope Leo anywhere in the world, and it overlooks the Pacific Ocean from the port city of Callao.

THE SICK PRIEST: Most of our priests are not healthy, even when they pretend to be well just to solve our problems, celebrate Mass, hear our confessions, baptise us, marry couples, and carry out many other duties. They suffer pain in secret, without complaining. Pray for all priests, especially those in this condition. O God, visit Your servant, stretch out Your healing hand upon him, and restore his health, both physically and spiritually, through Christ our Lord. Amen. 🙏

To those who deny that Christ is truly present in the Eucharist, think about what you’re saying: 1. The earliest Christians were wrong 2. Three-quarters of Christian history is wrong 3. The Bible is wrong 4. The apostles’ successors are wrong 5. You, in 2025, are right

A Catholic young man John Golden stood on the streets of Dublin in Ireland on the eve of All Hallows’ Eve, inviting partygoers to step into a nearby Catholic church and light a candle before the Blessed Sacrament. He called it an “exercise in rejection therapy.” To his amazement, 926 people accepted his invitation and lit a candle.

Posters line one of the main streets in Buenos Aires as Pope Leo arrives They are calling for the removal of Cardinal Fernández as prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. Leo arrived in the city today & will be in Argentina until Wednesday
An entire wall in Buenos Aires’s Avenida de Mayo plastered with anti-Tucho posters. The message asks for the removal of Tucho for “the good of the Church” with a QR code link to a heretical homily. @Pontifex_es @Pontifex #LeoXIV #Argentina #CatholicChurch

Another massacre of Christians in Ethiopia 50 Christians murdered yesterday 60 were murdered the other week When will world leaders condemn the slaughter of Christians? Or don’t our lives count?
🚨 Over 50 Orthodox Christians massacred in Endeto, Arsi, today, one week after 60 Christians were killed in the same area Another deadly attack targeting Ethiopian Orthodox Christians took place on November 5th, 2026, in Endeto, Arsi, Oromia Region, just one week after a separate massacre claimed the lives of more than 60 Orthodox Christians in the area. According to local sources, more than 50 bodies had been recovered by Thursday evening following an assault involving armed militants equipped with mortars, sniper rifles and other weapons. The attackers also looted Christian-owned homes and businesses, seized livestock and destroyed property, while bodies remained scattered across nearby forests. Local sources identified the attackers as members of the Maddawalaabuu Brigade, an armed group backed by the government that was also involved in last week’s killings in Birbona and Chole Kebeles of Shirka Woreda. Reports have emerged concerning the involvement of local government officials in facilitating the attack. Residents reportedly warned authorities days beforehand after observing armed gatherings and weapons being unloaded at a local mosque, but their warnings were dismissed. Woreda officials allegedly contacted zonal and regional authorities to reject additional security reinforcements, claiming sufficient forces were already available, while access roads were reportedly dug up to obstruct the arrival of ENDF troops. Sources further allege that local officials confiscated weapons from Christian residents while allowing other armed groups to retain weapons, leaving Orthodox Christian militia members severely outgunned. Several militia members were reportedly killed within minutes of confronting the attackers. ENDF reinforcements eventually reached the area after dark and began recovering bodies.

Catholic Fun Fact: Ken Hensley was a Baptist pastor who believed Catholicism was wrong and thought he could prove it. Then he encountered Catholic apologetics—and one name caught his attention: Scott Hahn, his former seminary friend. Determined to refute Catholic teaching, Ken began investigating Scripture, the early Church Fathers, Church authority, and apostolic succession. But the deeper he went, the more his assumptions began to crumble. The evidence he intended to use against Catholicism was leading him toward the Catholic Church. What started as an intellectual challenge became a journey of faith. Ken eventually entered the Catholic Church, leaving behind his pastoral career and rebuilding his life. He set out to win an argument. Instead, he found a home in the Church.
