After the Christians expelled the Turks from the gates of Vienna, numerous treasures were discovered left by the enemy, including hundreds of bags filled with coffee beans. At first, the brew was disliked because of its overpowering bitter taste. But Blessed d’Aviano perfected the rough beverage by adding milk as a sweetener. This new drink spread like wildfire throughout Europe. In the monk’s honor, the drink was named “kapuziner,” or “Capuchin,” because it was the name of the religious order to which Blessed Marco belonged, along with the fact that the drink matches the color of the traditional habit worn by the order. https://tfpstudentaction.org/blog/cappuccino-coffee-was-invented-by-a-saintly-warrior-monk

Does Woke Starbucks Know the Cappuccino Was Invented by a Saintly Warrior Monk?
Remember this story when you drink cappuccino.
"If you see a bad priest at the head of a parish, you should be afflicted and fear that perhaps our sins deserved such a horrible chastisement, for Sacred Scripture teaches us that the greatest and most terrible scourge that God sends to a people is to give it bad priests.
Until the wrath of the Lord reaches its apex, He permits that nations arm themselves one against the other; that the fields become sterile; that hunger, desolation and death exert their dominium over the earth.
However, when His just indignation reaches its climax, He sends the last and most atrocious of His punishments by allowing unfaithful ministers, stained priests, scandalous shepherds to appear among men. Then it happens that the abominations of the people are the cause of the bad priests, and the bad priests are the greatest punishment with which God chastises the people.” - St. Anthony Maria Claret

Ad te beáte Joseph, in tribulatióne nostra confúgimus, atque, imploráto Sponsæ tuæ sanctíssimæ auxílio, patrocínium quoque tuum fidenter expóscimus. Per eam, quæsumus, quæ te cum immaculáta Vírgine Dei Genitríce coniúnxit, caritátem, perque patérnum, quo Púerum Iesum ampléxus es, amórem, súpplices deprecámur, ut ad hereditátem, quam Iesus Christus acquisívit Sánguine suo, benígnus respícias, ac necessitátibus nostris tua virtúte et ope succúrras. Tuére, o Custos providentíssime divínæ Famíliæ, Iesu Christi sóbolem eléctam; próhibe a nobis, amantíssime Pater, omnem errórum ac corruptelárum luem; propítius nobis, sospítator noster fortíssime, in hoc cum potestáte tenebrárum certámine e cælo adésto; et sicut olim Púerum Iesum e summo eripuísti vitre discrímine, ita nunc Ecclesiam sanctam Dei ab hostílibus insídiis atque ab omni adversitáte défende: nosque síngulos perpétuo tege patrocínio, ut ad tui exémplar et ope tua suffúlti, sancte vívere, pie émori, sempiternámque in cælis beatitúdinem ássequi possímus. Amen.

'If some shameful thought is sown in your heart as you are sitting in your cell, watch out. Resist the evil, so that it does not gain control over you. Make every effort to call God to mind, for He is looking at you, and whatever you are thinking in your heart is plainly visible to Him. Say to your soul: "If you are afraid of sinners like yourself seeing your sins, how much more should you be afraid of God who notes everything?" As a result of this warning the fear of God will be revealed in your soul, and if you cleave to Him you will not be shaken by the passions; for it is written: "They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion; he that dwells in Jerusalem shall never be shaken" (Ps. 125:1. LXX). Whatever you are doing, remember that God sees all your thoughts, and then you will never sin. To Him be glory through all the ages. Amen.'

“For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God.”
— St. Teresa of Ávila
Ask yourself, do you have a friendship with God? If you’re reading this, you’ll probably say yes.
However, consider that friendship lies in loving another for the sake of the other. Do you love God for the sake of loving him? Or do you only love him when struck by emotion? If we only pray when we feel like it, if we only pray when we need something or “feel” God in our hearts— we do not have a friendship with God. Instead, we have in a way objectified God in this modern age. We use him for our own joy, our own fulfillment.
I myself would argue, that I don’t have a friendship with God. I pray only when I want, and that’s not friendship. God wants us always— we need to learn to want him always.
On this feast day of St. Teresa of Ávila, we pray for the grace to pray for the sake of God. To truly enter in to friendship with God.

The Tory M.P. savagely murdered by a so-called asylum seeker, who had been given British citizenship after travelling through half the countries of the world to finally reach Britain's inglorious Welfare State, was a Catholic and a supporter of pro-life groups like SPUC.
Please pray for the repose of his soul and also for the family he left behind. He was a father of five children.
But the stark truth must be told. He was a victim of the evil globalist immigration policies of the political party he belonged to. A victim of the same evil globalist immigration policies pursued equally by all the other Establishment parties and governments since the 1950's.
Every murder, every rape, every robbery, committed by an unassimilable immigrant is the fault of the corrupt political class. Every person who joins or votes for those political parties who have facilitated and allowed the mass immigration of unassimilable peoples to these shores must also take their share of the blame. Every act has consequences.

I confessed that my friends invited me to watch a bad #movie together and we did. And then I told my friend.
She said: "no you don't need to do that!"
I said "no, I do, because from what Father was saying he clearly agreed it was a #sin!"
Then you know how much modern people degenerate even with the concepts of sin. I'm not saying I'm any better than any of my modern world fellows, because if so I wouldn't be confessing this kind of sins. I grew up with all the bad stuffs and they corrupted my soul so that I already developed a habit of watching those and thought there was no problem. But by God's grace I eventually was revealed that it's wrong and I shouldn't feed more trash to my own soul.
Father also seriously warned me about modern films and how spending too much time in #entertainment is HARMFUL for our souls.
So I shared this that everyone here know. When speaking of bad movies we are talking about the ones with the slightest make-out scenes, inappropriate jokes and #immodesty. Then you know how we actually don't have many choices but return to a more traditional way of living.

The Fifteen Promises of Mary to Christians Who Recite the #Rosary
1. Whoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the rosary, shall receive signal graces.
2. I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the rosary.
3. The rosary shall be a powerful armour against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies.
4. It will cause virtue and good works to flourish; it will obtain for souls the abundant mercy of God; it will withdraw the hearts of men from the love of the world and its vanities, and will lift them to the desire of eternal things. Oh, that souls would sanctify themselves by this means.
5. The soul which recommends itself to me by the recitation of the rosary, shall not perish.
6. Whoever shall recite the rosary devoutly, applying himself to the consideration of its sacred mysteries shall never be conquered by misfortune. God will not chastise him in His justice, he shall not perish by an unprovided death; if he be just he shall remain in the grace of God, and become worthy of eternal life
7. Whoever shall have a true devotion for the rosary shall not die without the sacraments of the Church.
8. Those who are faithful to recite the rosary shall have during their life and at their death the light of God and the plentitude of His graces; at the moment of death they shall participate in the merits of the saints in paradise.
9. I shall deliver from purgatory those who have been devoted to the rosary.
10. The faithful children of the rosary shall merit a high degree of glory in heaven.
11. You shall obtain all you ask of me by the recitation of the rosary.
12. All those who propagate the holy rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities.
13. I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the rosary shall have for intercessors the entire celestal court during their life and at the hour of death.
14. All who recite the rosary are my sons, and brothers of my only son Jesus Christ.
15. Devotion of my rosary is a great sign of predestination.
(Given to St. Dominic and Blessed Alan)
