by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira It seems that the impact of Brazilians’ gestures and achievements abroad is reported inconsistently in our country. Telegrams from overseas inform us about the reception of certain literary figures, especially left-wingers or Dom Helder Camara. No Brazilian has received publicity comparable to his since Getúlio Vargas. However, I believe many individuals outside this select group achieve undeniable success abroad that goes unreported. I know of at least one notable case worth sharing. _______________ * * * _______________ Attorney Fábio Vidigal Xavier da Silveira, a young and energetic member of TFP’s National Council, is a farmer on the outskirts of Amparo.

Ancient Chaldean Church vandalized in Northern Iraq: The historic Mar Kiriakos Chaldean Catholic Church in the village of Sharanish, near Zakho in northern Iraq, was recently vandalized. Videos released in mid-June 2026 show damage inside the church. Mar Kiriakos, believed to be more than 400 years old, is one of two historic Chaldean Catholic churches in Sharanish. No perpetrators have yet been publicly identified.
Ancient Chaldean Church vandalized in Northern Iraq | Shalom World News An ancient witness of Chaldean Christian faith in Iraq has been desecrated in Sharanish, a historic Christian village near Zakho, close to the Iraq–Turkey border. Video from inside Mar Kiriakos Church shows extensive vandalism, with sacred spaces damaged and church property destroyed. The incident has left the local community mourning the incident, which is another blow to a village that has endured years of instability and displacement. Sharanish, home to the Chaldean churches of Mart Shmune and Mar Kiriakos, remains a symbol of the ancient Christian presence in Mesopotamia. As investigations continue, the faithful hold on to a message carried through centuries: a wounded church can still be a living testimony of faith.
Churches in communion with Rome Who are the Christians of Iraq? A long history … After periods of Mongol, Turkoman, and Safavid rule, Mesopotamia fell under the Ottomans, whose empire lasted until the First World War in the early 20th century. It was during the Ottoman period that the East and West Syriac Churches – the Chaldean Catholic Church and the Syriac (or Syrian) Catholic Church, respectively – were formed. The Syriac Catholic Church was created when a Jacobite patriarch united with Rome in the 18th century. The Bishops who did not enter into full communion with Rome formed the Syriac Orthodox Church. Today’s Chaldean Catholic Church dates from 1830, when the historical patriarchate of the Church of the East was united with an earlier Chaldean branch created in the 17th century. An even-earlier Chaldean union from the 16th century subsequently separated from Rome and developed into what are today the Assyrian Church of the East and the Ancient Church of the East.

From Head Knowledge To Holy Living The Gospel reading highlights the difference between intellectually accepting the truth of Jesus as the Son of God and living that truth. While Peter professed his faith, he struggled to understand the practical implications of Jesus’s mission, including suffering and death. This journey of faith requires purification through suffering, allowing us to truly live as members of Christ, embracing both His passion and resurrection. Fr.

The Diocese of Arlington, in Northern Virginia, has announced the creation of a new apostolate entrusted to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP), Bishop Michael Burbidge announced on June 19. Father Jonathan Romanoski FSSP and Father John Audino FSSP have been appointed to the Chaplaincy. Following the motu proprio Traditionis Custodes in 2021, the Diocese of Arlington experienced a unprecedented eradication of Masses in the Roman rite. With 21 locations, Arlington Diocese was one of the strongest for the Roman Rite in the United States. In 2022, the Diocese of Arlington reduced the number of "permitted" Mass locations from 21 to 8. Of those eight locations, only three - Saint Rita in Alexandria, Saint John the Beloved in McLean, and Saint Anthony of Padua Mission in Falls Church - received Vatican permission to continue Masses in parish churches. The remaining five communities were relocated to non-parish churches. #newsYopiywpnrj

Actually it's 56 countries against Russia and those who want to kill President Putin. And it's not that they are unable to stop Ukraine or expel them. It's how Putin prefers to go slow to save lives on both sides. But if he wanted to, They would have taken what is theirs long ago. A bunch of bullies trying to break Russia and Kill their President. So far he has been untouchable. And Russia is still doing pretty awesome with everything they are throwing at them and Putin. The Blessed Mother has done an excellent job! It's not Putin's time to go. GOD still has work for him. Maybe wants him alive for his conversion. I can only hope and pray for that. He is an exceptional human being with the patience of a Saint. May GOD Bless him always And The Blessed Mother keep him safe till he can convert before GOD takes him.
[Saint Bridget of Sweden/ Heliga Birgitta; XIV Century AD: aged 69-70; born: Uppland, Sweden/died: Rome, Papal States; Widow, Mystic; Spiritual Writer; Founder; Patroness of Europe] Chapter 58 ~ The words of the Mother to the bride about how sweet the Mother and the Son are to each other. How Christ is bitter, bitterer, and most bitter for the evil, and how he is sweet, sweeter, and most sweet for the good. The Mother of God said to the bride: “Consider, new bride of my Son, the suffering of my Son, which surpassed in bitterness the suffering of all the saints. Just as a mother would feel the most bitter sorrow and anguish if she saw her son being cut to pieces alive, so, too, was I grieving at the torments of my Son when I saw his bitter sufferings.” Then she spoke to her Son, saying: “Blessed be you, my Son, for you are holy, as it is sung: ‘Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Sabaoth.’ Blessed be you, for you are sweet, sweeter, and most sweet! You were holy before you assumed Manhood, holy …ఇంకా
"But I am bitterer for those who say that I have given them a free will to sin and not to do good, who say I am unjust since I condemn some and justify others, and who blame me for their own wickedness because I withhold my grace from them. I am most bitter for those who say that my law and commandments are exceedingly harsh and difficult and that no one is able to keep them, who say my suffering is worth nothing for them, and who therefore count it for nothing."

Do not be afraid! Sunday 21 of June 2026 - XII of the O.T. Jesus, in the passage from Matthew's Gospel that we’re going to listen to on Sunday, June 21, for three times invites his disciples to not be afraid! Actually, choosing to live as Jesus’ disciple, doing the will of His Father, that is: making life, joy and peace triumph in the hearts of our brothers and sisters with the greater power of His love, can arouse envy and jealousy in those who have made evil and the destruction of life their "reason for being". But the good news of the Gospel is precisely this: with Jesus we are more than victorious. We win when we win, but we win above all when we "lose" our lives out of love for God and for our brothers.

[Saint Catherine of Siena /Caterina di Benincasa/; XIV-XV Century AD; born: Siena, Republic of Siena/died: Rome, Papal States; aged 33; Spiritual Writer; Mystic; Virgin; Doctor of the Church] How this devoted soul looking in the Divine mirror saw the creatures going in diverse ways. Then that soul, tormented with intense desire, gazing into the sweet Divine mirror, saw creatures setting out to attain their end in diverse ways and with diverse considerations. She saw that many began to mount, feeling themselves pricked by servile fear, that is, fearing their own personal pain, and she saw others, practising this first state, arriving at the second state, but few she saw who arrived at the greatest perfection. How servile fear is not sufficient, without the love of virtue, to give eternal life ; and how the law of fear and that of love are united. Then the goodness of God, wishing to satisfy the desire of that soul, said, " Dost thou see those ? They have arisen with servile fear from the …ఇంకా
"The new law is the law of love, given by the Word of My only-begotten Son, and is founded in love alone. The new law does not break the old law, but rather fulfils it, as said My Truth, 'I come not to destroy the law, but to fulfil it.’ And He united the law of fear with that of love. Through love was taken away the imperfection of the fear of the penalty, and the perfection of holy fear remained, that is, the fear of offending, not on account of one's own damnation, but of offending Me, who am Supreme Good."
Jun 20 Father's Day: the best government policy for the family is to promote fatherhood This weekend, June 21, in Canada and the United States we celebrate Father's Day. What exactly are we celebrating? That we a have a crisis of the absent father? That too many children grow up without a father? That children raised without a father have a lot more difficulties in life? Of course none this is ever mentioned by those in charge of our institutions like schools and governments.
