Guardian Angels - October 2 Memorial 2 October first Sunday in September (in Germany) Profile The term guardian angels refers to the belief that each person has an angel who is available to shepherd their soul through life, and help bring them to God. Belief in the reality of angels, their mission as messengers of God, and man’s interaction with them, goes back to the earliest times. Cherubim kept Adam and Eve from slipping back into Eden; angels saved Lot and helped destroy the cities of the plains; in Exodous Moses follows an angel, and at one point an angel is appointed leader of Israel. Michael is mentioned at several points, Raphael figures large in the story of Tobit, and Gabriel delivered the Annunciation of the coming of Christ. The concept of each soul having a personal guardian angel, is also an ancient one, and long accepted by the Church See that you despise not one of these little ones [children]: for I say to you, that their angels in heaven always see …ఇంకా

Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández will publish a new document this October addressing the growing rupture in the transmission of Christianity between generations. It calls for “a Church capable of welcoming everyone in a different way, precisely as they are.” Requested by Pope Francis in his final days, the text was continued with Pope Leo XIV’s encouragement. Fernández announced the forthcoming document in a September 9 address to newly appointed bishops, previewing its main themes and saying it would be published the following month.
"But when My Truth returned to Me, in His humanity, Peter and the others concealed themselves in the house, awaiting the coming of the Holy Spirit, which My Truth had promised them. They remained barred in from fear, because the soul always fears until she arrives at true love."
‘How the soul, after having mounted the first step…’ ~ 'The Dialogue' of Saint Catherine of Siena; 1907; A TREATISE OF DISCRETION; pp. 150-151 [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 the soul, after having mounted the first step of the Bridge, should proceed to mount the second. " Thou hast now seen how excellent is the state of him who has attained to the love of a friend ; climbing with the foot of affection, he has reached the secret of the Heart, which is the second of the three steps figured in the Body of My Son. I have told thee what was meant by the three powers of the soul, and now I will show thee how they signify the three states, through which the soul passes. Before treating of the third state, I wish to show thee how a man becomes a friend and how, from a friend, he grows into a son, attaining to filial love, and how a …ఇంకా

Leo XIV praises foundational Lutheran document: The Augsburg Confession by Melanchthon. Today, Leo XIV received a delegation of the Lutheran World Federation. He said: “Renewed communion in the apostolic faith, in the sacraments [!], and in the ministries is the goal of our ecumenical journey of grace.” Leo XIV focused particularly on the year 2030, which will mark the 500th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession, presenting it as an opportunity to advance Catholic-Lutheran ecumenism and the pursuit of “full, visible unity.” He claimed: “The Augsburg Confession was originally intended as a document of reconciliation within the Church. Only later did it come to be understood as a text of divisive confessionalization.” He wants to “succeed in affirming together the pre-confessional ecumenical potential of the Confessio Augustana.” Main Objections to the Confessio Augustana The Augsburg Confession (Confessio Augustana) was presented to Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Augsburg on 25 June …ఇంకా

“I was addressing the secretary general [Rutte, asking] ‘Is there any proof, real proof intelligence services are providing, something on the table, that Russia is getting ready for something?’ And there is actually none,” Sinkevicius said. Of course there is NONE. There never is. Just empty threats and lies. And once again we have another person to destroy propaganda spread by the West and US. And a few on gtv. If I were to post everything of the truth I see, hear and read, gtv would be overwhelmed with it. So I post occasionally something once in awhile. Sometimes back to back. I understand it's hard to believe that more people around the world actually loves, and has deep respect for President Putin. Because all you ever get is propaganda from those who don't want you to know the truth. And who will do everything in their power to turn you against that great man. That way you will approve of their next war. This time with Russia! Let's see how that goes for everyone when that happens.

Pope Leo XIV has appointed Bishop Pierre Goudreault - open to married priests - as the new bishop of Trois-Rivières, Quebec. Bishop Goudreault, 63, has governed Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatière since 2018 and has headed the Canadian bishops’ conference since September 2025. He said after his September 29 appointment that Catholics should discern how to become “a synodal Church” characterized by “mutual listening” and “communal discernment.” “The Church as a laboratory” Already before becoming a bishop, Goudreault told LePlacoteux.com in 2017 that he sees “the Church as a laboratory where we have to allow ourselves to try things” and that “we have to change our ways of doing things”. The remarks accompanied discussion of his book Faire Église autrement (“Being Church Differently”), in which he proposed the multiplication of small groups for reflection, faith-sharing and Christian formation as a path for the Church's future. Open to Married Priests In January 2024, LePlacoteux.com asked …ఇంకా
‘Opinions of the Doctors…’ – ‘Purgatory’ by Rev. Shouppe; 1929; Chapter XXII; p. 69-70, part III Chapter XXII ~ Duration of Purgatory — Opinions of the Doctors — Bellarmine — Calculations of Father Mumford. Let us take a moderate estimate, and suppose that you commit about ten faults a day ; at the end of 365 days you will have a sum of 3650 faults. Let us diminish, and, to facilitate the calculation, place it at 3000 per year. At the end often years this will amount to 30,000, and at the end of twenty years to 60,000. Suppose that of these 60,000 faults you have expiated one half by penance and good works, there will still remain 30,000 to be atoned for. Let us continue our hypothesis : You die after these twenty years of virtuous life, and appear before God with a debt of 30,000 faults, which you must discharge in Purgatory. How much time will you need to accomplish this expiation? Suppose, on an average, each fault requires one hour of Purgatory. This measure is very moderate, if we …ఇంకా
"Let us continue our hypothesis : You die after these twenty years of virtuous life, and appear before God with a debt of 30,000 faults, which you must discharge in Purgatory. How much time will you need to accomplish this expiation? Suppose, on an average, each fault requires one hour of Purgatory. This measure is very moderate, if we judge by the revelations of the saints ; but at any rate this will give you a Purgatory of 30,000 hours. Now, do you know how many years these 30,000 hours represent? Three years, three months, and fifteen days."
Leo XIV wants the Church to be an "open house" where "everyone has a place". Today, Pope Leo XIV published his video message for October. The prayer intention, using the usual buzzwords, is about mental health ministry, calling on the Church to listen without judging and support those who are suffering. The key phrase is: "May your Church be an open house, a safe space where everyone has a place — a community that accompanies and never excludes; that listens without judging; and that draws near without fear." #newsKcoeptmmtq
Former Italian priest Luca Favarin, 54, has become a father. After 25 years as a priest in the Diocese of Padua, Favarin welcomed his son Zaccaria on September 28. “If necessary, I will have the courage to die for you, because I have seen the most beautiful thing: the birth of a child,” he wrote on facebook. Favarin became known for his work with illegal immigrants, prisoners and people on the margins, as well as his commitment to homosexual privileges. He also denied Catholic teaching on assisted dying. After conflicts with his diocese and suspension, he left the clerical state in 2023. In August, Corriere.it asked Favarin about marriage and he replied: “It’s not a priority at the moment.” The mother of his child is described as his partner, a woman he met through social-sector work. #newsVepspjixwq
