Dove andranno gli Europei dell'ISIS?

Press release no. 19/19 of the 4 March 2019, Saint Casimir
Where will the Europeans of ISIS go??
They are on Twitter, the place chosen by the president of the United States to reveal his foreign policy and state decisions, Donald Trump asked “ Great Britain, France, Germany and other European allied countries to take back the additions 800 ISIS militants captured in Syria" , coming from 44 villages, and if this did not happen, he "will be forced to free them" without specifying where and in which country. Trump is no more willing to let time pass by waiting” than others ( European countries) do their job". This is what the American administration shows in foreign policy and towards its allies. The United States had asked Europe, to Canada, Australia and Middle Eastern countries to send their troops to Syria to “fight ISIS”. But even before that, a few years ago, the United States had asked European countries to let potential jihadists leave for Syria and Iraq and asked Saudi Arabia and Jordan to open their prisons and pardon the jihadists so that they could reach their much-coveted destination, the Levant, to thus destroy the Syrian state and create a “failed state” situation.
These wishes, however, could not be realized and President Bashar al-Assad was not removed 3, or at most 6 months, as had been foreseen in 2011. Today the world has to deal with a new puzzle : what to do with those we helped reach Syria to terrorize, subject to violence, kill the population and who now want to return to their countries of origin? It is clear that the American administration has no intention of helping Europe solve the problem of its human waste which has embraced the Islamic State just as the United States wanted.

Month of March: the Sacred Mantle to Saint Joseph

Month of March: the Sacred Mantle to Saint Joseph
The month of March is traditionally dedicated to Saint Joseph: we recommend a booklet that can encourage devotion to the Patron Saint of the Universal Church.
The Sacred Mantle in honor of the Patriarch Saint Joseph, Sodalitium Book Center (14 pages, 3,00 euro).
The Sacred Mantle is a particular homage paid to Saint Joseph, to honor His person and to deserve His patronage. It is advisable to recite these prayers for 30 consecutive days, in memory of the thirty years of life lived by Saint Joseph in the company of Jesus Christ, Son of God. The graces that are obtained from God are numberless, resorting to Saint Joseph. Saint Teresa of Avila (1515 – 1582) he left these illuminating words written: “Who wants to believe, do the test, that he may be persuaded."

Herod raises the bar

Press release no. 18/19 of the 28 February 2019, Saint Macarius
Herod raises the bar
Homosexual propaganda is increasingly insinuating itself into the world of younger people: from the lesbian couple included in the Donald Duck comics to the boy who defines himself as inverted on the Disney Channel up to the homosexual parade scheduled at Disneyland Paris.
A lesbian couple in Duckburg (but only in Holland): It's a little girl asking for it 10 years
Little Fenna asked the editors of the Dutch edition of the comic “Donald Duck” to at least include gay characters in the background: “My parents are gay and lesbian and I think it's important for that to be seen as normal, but in Duckburg this doesn't seem to exist at all".
In the Dutch edition of the comic “Donald Duck” a lesbian couple will appear for the first time, thanks to a simple request made by a little girl from 10 years. Little Fenna started from a very simple consideration: “There are no gays or lesbians in Donald Duck, I checked them all”, the little girl said in a report aired during “boys' news” of the Dutch public broadcaster Nos, and for this reason he asked that they be included. A small revolution, the one Fenna asked for, who did not demand that the sexual orientation of personal characters be changed but only that they be inserted every now and then against the background of gay characters. “You see a lot of couples, some of those people might be gay”, was his suggestion.
“My parents are gay and lesbian and I think it's important for that to be seen as normal, but in Duckburg this doesn't seem to exist at all”, Fenna said, who has two mothers and two fathers.

Editorial news: the Roman Lenten stations
by

Giuseppe Federici Study Center – For a new onset

Press release no. 17/19 of the 26 February 2019, San Leandro
Editorial news: the Roman Lenten stations
P. Placido Lugano, osb, “The sacred Roman stations in Lent and the octave of Easter”, Sodalitium Book Center, pages. 118, euro 10,00.
Introduction: The Lenten stations in Rome
1. The sacred time of Lent, in the current discipline of the Church and according to the spirit of its liturgy, it is a time of retreat that every Christian must spend in solitude in union with the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, attending to penance and mortification, especially in the form of fasting, and to all the exercises of the spiritual life. It begins with Ash Wednesday, in which the Church invites her children to bow their heads under the austere sentence pronounced in heaven by God against rebellious man : Remember, oh man, that you are dust and to dust you will return; and ends with the Easter Vigil, in which the resurrection of the Redeemer comes to cheer the souls who have suffered the voluntary privations of penance. Lent prepares the believing people to commemorate the Passion of Jesus and to celebrate with Him the Hallelujah of victory.
2. Established, Lent, in memory of the forty days of fasting of the Redeemer, it is dedicated in a particular way to penance, to education and preaching. The liturgical prayers of Lent speak mainly of fasting and mortification; ma, after the fourth week they begin to mention the Passion : because the only mortification, made of penance and abstinence, it is a worthy preparation to celebrate the memory of the Passion of the Man-God with a purified soul, which characterizes the last fortnight of Lent. The Epistle and the Gospel contain the spiritual food for instruction and preaching; the prayers, begging for mercy and forgiveness, move to do penance for the sins committed. Various traces still remain in the Roman Missal of the ancient discipline relating to public penitents for their reconciliation and that for converts from paganism (catechumens), who were preparing to receive the grace of baptism at the Easter Vigil.

Holy Land: the shepherds discriminated against by the invaders

Press release no. 156/19 of the 22 February 2019, Saint Margaret of Cortona
Holy Land: the shepherds discriminated against by the invaders
. The article we highlight, published on the website of the Custody of the Holy Land, denounces the violent discrimination suffered by Palestinian shepherds in the Hebron area, by the Israeli government and fanatical settler groups. Curiously, those in Italy and Europe oppose it, rightly, to current immigration, in the Holy Land they support the invaders and not those who suffered the Zionist invasion: “immigrants first”?
The cave people of Masafer Yatta
In the 2019 in the Holy Land, not too far from the routes of tourists and pilgrims, there are realities of profound misery, like that of the hills south of Hebron that we are going to tell you about.
They live in small caves carved into the rock, in stone rooms without furniture, no bathrooms and no running water. Every morning they have animals to look after, bread to be cooked under boiling ashes, the olive trees to be looked after beyond the dirt road. Every night they take down those thin, colorful mattresses and place them on the floor to sleep on. It's the life of the approximately 1.400 Palestinians of Masafer Yatta, in the hills south of Hebron in the Palestinian West Bank. Between Yatta city and the green line (drawn up with the armistice of 1949 which "separates" Israel from the occupied Palestinian territories) one of the most forgotten areas of the Holy Land is located. At-Tuwani, a-Tuba, Um Fagarah, Maghayir al-Abeed, susia, Qawawis, Shib al Butum, Isfey Foqa, Isfey Tihta, al-Majaz, at-Tabba, al-Fakheit, Jinba, It's happening, Halaweh are the names of fifteen small towns largely unknown even to the population of the region. In these villages people live mainly from sheep farming, of the sale of dairy products, of what can be grown despite the aridity of the soil.

Andreas Hofer, Catholic hero

Andreas Hofer, Catholic hero
Il 20 February 2019 marks the 210th anniversary of the death of Andreas Hofer, commander of the Catholic insurgency in Tyrol, shot in Mantua by Napoleon's troops. Andreas Hofer's faith emerges clearly from the last letter he wrote to his friend Puhler before the execution, which can be considered as his will.
Andreas Hofer's will
“Dearest brother, God's will is that I pass here in Mantua from life to eternity; May God be blessed for His divine grace that makes death as easy for me as if they took me to some other place (and not at execution). God will grant me to the end the grace of being able to reach the place where my soul can be happy forever with all the saints., where I will pray to God for everyone and especially for those to whom I am most indebted, also for you and your dear wife for the little book (of prayers) and other good works. All the good friends who still live here must also pray for me, to remove myself from the burning flames if I had to serve Purgatory again. My dearest landlady will have me say masses for San Martino in the Sanctuary of the Precious Blood. The inhabitants of the two parishes must be invited to the Mass (of San Leonardo and San Martino) and it will have to be given to friends during the funeral banquet in the tavern below (of his nephew Giovanni Griner) soup and meat plus half a measure of wine.

Syria: the crime of the embargo

Press release no. 13/19 of the 15 February 2019, San Faustino
Syria: the crime of the embargo
Embargo: there are also victims without bullets
More and more negative repercussions are affecting the living conditions of Syrian civilians, while some Western states continue to impose economic sanctions against Syria.
The economic war, whether it prevents trade or uses mass media or punishes those who help Syria, has many short and long term goals; essentially seeks to create economic problems that cause division in Syrian society and affect the investment environment after recently seeing improvement, as this economic war seeks to drive away investors and businessmen, says a report published by the Syrian news agency SANA.
The most important objective of the sanctions against Syria is to block local production in order to transform Syria into a state with consumption dependent on other countries, instead of being a self-sufficient productive state.

The priests in the Tito concentration camps
by

Report from the Federici Study Center
A few days after the day of remembrance of the foibe and the exodus of the Julian populations, Istrian and Dalmatian, we publish some pages taken from the volume "Survivors of the deportations in Yugoslavia" (YY.YY, Bruno Fachin Editor, 1997). This is the testimony of father Albino Simpliciano Gomiero: “They had come to pick me up from the convent”, especially the paragraph: “The clandestine mass”.
(…) The first Sunday of Lent (23 February 1948) I woke up early. I heard my neighbor on the right, Father Chresus, he was praying. He was lying on his side with his back to me. After the alarm signal I saw him handing something to the others in a white handkerchief. In the handkerchief there was a box, everyone took something and put it in their mouth. Father Kreso passed it on to me too. “If you want to communicate…”. Communion! Christ in prison! The Lord in prison with us! The box contained pieces of bread. Father Kreso had celebrated. "Attention! Don't let the Serbian sobni starjesina see you, and also pay attention to the Orthodox priest!”. I received Holy Communion and passed the Blessed Sacrament to the others. Father Eterovic explained to me later, the polyglot who studied in Jerusalem, who did this every Sunday, when they received genuine bread and raisins from them: in turn, a priest celebrated mass by consecrating the wine extracted from raisins. No sacred vestments and candles. The chalice was a jar of preserves, the pyx, a small box; the missal, some pages of toilet paper which reported in full the Madonna's mass “Hello, Holy Parent", written in pencil. How much sadness invaded our hearts when the sound of a bell announcing the day of the Lord reached our ears.. Read More
