Medjugorje's Answer Was Not Anger; It Was Prayer, Forgiveness, and Hope - Shalom World News They covered Our Lady with paint. They tried to scar a place of prayer. But they could not extinguish what lives in the hearts of believers. The wounds inflicted on the sacred spaces of Medjugorje have already begun to heal. Volunteers and parish workers immediately came together to clean, restore, and prepare the sanctuary once again, ensuring that every pilgrim can continue to encounter Christ in prayer under the loving gaze of the Queen of Peace. Yet the most powerful response has not been brushes, water, or repairs—it has been the Gospel. For more than forty years, Our Lady's message in Medjugorje has remained the same: pray, fast, forgive, and choose peace. In the face of hatred, the parish has chosen mercy. Instead of anger, it offers forgiveness. Instead of condemnation, it prays for the conversion of those responsible, asking that God's grace touch their hearts and lead them back to the …ተጨማሪ
Medjugorjes Antwort war nicht Wut; sie war Gebet, Vergebung und Hoffnung - Shalom World News Sie beschmierten die Muttergottes mit Farbe. Sie versuchten, einen Ort des Gebets zu entstellen. Doch sie konnten nicht auslöschen, was in den Herzen der Gläubigen lebt. Die Wunden, die den heiligen Stätten von Medjugorje zugefügt wurden, beginnen bereits zu heilen. Freiwillige und Gemeindemitarbeiter schlossen sich sofort zusammen, um das Heiligtum zu reinigen, zu restaurieren und erneut vorzubereiten, damit jeder Pilger Christus weiterhin im Gebet unter dem liebevollen Blick der Königin des Friedens begegnen kann. Doch die stärkste Antwort waren nicht Pinsel, Wasser oder Reparaturen – es war das Evangelium. Seit über vierzig Jahren ist die Botschaft der Muttergottes in Medjugorje dieselbe: beten, fasten, vergeben und den Frieden wählen. Angesichts des Hasses hat die Gemeinde die Barmherzigkeit gewählt. Statt Zorn bietet sie Vergebung an. Statt Verurteilung betet sie für die Bekehrung der …ተጨማሪ

A 31-year-old Polish man, identified by regional media as Bartłomiej Włodzimierz Krakowiak, has been arrested for vandalizing the Marian shrine of Medjugorje during the night of 27–28 July, just days before Mladifest, which is expected to attract around 50,000 young pilgrims. "Medjugorje Is a Deception" The suspect allegedly poured black paint over statues of the Virgin Mary on Apparition Hill and at the Blue Cross, wrote "Devil in a skirt" on one statue. He hung banners accusing the six visionaries of being "frauds - I have proof", spray-painted slogans including "Medjugorje is a deception," "Only Jesus," and "Mary = devil," and set fire to the recently renovated outdoor altar behind St. James Church. He was arrested hours later in Černo, near Ljubuški, heading toward the Croatian border.

We are experiencing a huge rise in our food bills. And many foods are disappearing. Many people can't afford to eat a decent meal anymore. With the west and US trying to cripple Russia and starve her, it is obvious it isn't working. Instead it has backfired on us. I think there were close to 40,000 sanctions on Russia in the beginning of this year. Trump put more on them. And not only planning to put a huge package of sanctions on Russia, but he is encouraging everyone else to do the same. I will first post this video. Don't go beyond the food market. He made me very hungry. After the market he will do a small walk around the city of Saint Petersburg. Then he is stuffing his face again. So be ready. He orders two different soups. Stroganoff, fish and other delicious foods. Where did he put all that food? Your guess is as good as mine. --- Russian Street Food Market!! | Saint Petersburg, Russia! --- This person I have posted before. It's only a month old. 1 kilo is 2.205 a lb. Just …ተጨማሪ
Pro-homosexual Archbishop John C. Wester of Santa Fe, New Mexico, defended "our Muslim neighbors' right to worship" in a July 27 statement. He had heard in recent weeks concerns from some residents regarding the proposal to build a mosque and community center in Albuquerque's North Valley. "Our Muslim neighbors have the same God-given and constitutionally protected right to worship freely as every other faith community, including our own. Defending that right is not only a civic duty but a core element of Catholic teaching", the Archbishop wrote. According to Monsignor Wester, supporting the construction of a mosque is entirely consistent with Catholic tradition and moral commitments. He urged Catholics to "choose respect, dialogue, and peaceful coexistence." In 2025, it emerged that, Archbishop Wester promoted and lived with a priest who had spent ten years in a registered homosexual relationship. Picture: AI, #newsXofkbkkgnx

Today, Leo XIV appointed Bishop Gerard Nash, 67, as Bishop of Ossory while he remains also Bishop of Ferns. The pope united two neighboring Irish dioceses in persona episcopi. Under this arrangement, both dioceses retain for now their separate legal identities but are entrusted to the same bishop. Bishop Nash has led the Diocese of Ferns since 2021 and has served as Apostolic Administrator of Ossory since January 2026. Together, the two dioceses serve less than 200,000 Catholics. The appointment marks another step in the ongoing restructuring of the shrinking Church in Ireland. The policy of diocesan consolidation is clearly expanding beyond western Ireland While three previous in persona episcopi unions took place within the Ecclesiastical Province of Tuam in western Ireland, the union of Ferns and Ossory is the first outside that province.

When Atilla the Hun stormed Italy in the year 452, he was met by the Sovereign Pontiff Pope Leo the Great. The Hungarian chronicles record that the warrior received from Heaven the following message: "Hearken to the command of the Lord God, Jesus Christ. Thy pride shall not allow you to enter into the holy city where the bodies of my Apostles lie. Return. Later, one of your descendents will come to Rome with humility, and there I will cause him to receive a crown that shall last forever." King Stephen of Hungary fulfilled the promise God made to Atilla Attila thereupon recrossed the Alps, and had only just time to reach the Danube before he died. But, in the days of St. Stephen the heavenly promise was fulfilled. Indeed, Stephen inherited from his father Géza the dukedom of Hungary that had only a sprinkling of Catholics among the wild Magyars. He left it as a kingdom recognized by the Pope Sylvester II and a people firmly established in the Holy Faith. He made two Codes of Law, in which …ተጨማሪ
