SACRILEGE IN ROME.

With profound sorrow, Cardinal Baldassare Reina, Vicar General of His Holiness for the Diocese of Rome, has released a letter to the faithful, informing them of this sacrilege:

The Tabernacle containing the Blessed Sacrament was stolen from the Chapel of Aurelia Hospital in Rome on Wednesday.

Cardinal Reina invites the faithful to offer prayers and reparation to God at Sunday Mass tomorrow for this “offense against the Eucharist.”

He called for renewal of faith in the Real Presence of Our Lord in the Eucharist and for utmost vigilance in holy places.

He also prayed that the Lord will touch the hearts of those who committed this sacrilege so that they will recognize the gravity of the evil they have done, sincerely repent, and embark on a path of conversion.

Pope Leo has blessed the recently-completed central tower of the Sagrada Família Basilica in Barcelona.

Members of the Spanish royal family, the prime minister, and thousands of the faithful were in attendance for the inaugauration Mass on Wednesday evening.

With the completion of the Tower of Jesus Christ, the basilica has reached its full height of 172.5 metres, making it the world's tallest church.

After speaking about religious freedom, conscience, widespread disregard for human rights, escalating conflict, and deepening polarization to the Spanish Parliament, numbering more than 600 lawmakers, the legislators broke ranks and gave a standing ovation to Pope Leo for a historic 7-minute.

The Pope kept waiving his hand to get them to stop clapping; but they refused!😄

Leo is the first Pope to address the Parliament of Spain.

Do you want to see Bad Bunny or the Pope?

I think that Pope Leo is really in touch with the spiritual crisis that many young people are facing in today’s world.

Aboard the papal plane from Rome to Madrid earlier today, Christopher Lamb, the Vatican correspondent for CNN, asked the Pope what he thought about the number of young people showing interest in the faith.

In his response, Pope Leo made reference to the concert that Bad Bunny has tonight in Madrid:

“If they [young people] are confronted with the question: do they want to see Bad Bunny or do they want to see the Pope, I think many will go to see Bad Bunny. But I think there will also be a few here to see the pope. And that too says something, you know.”

Leo added that “young people are looking for something more, having grown up in many cases without that, if you will, spiritual dimension in their lives, they realize there’s an emptiness, and there’s a lack of a sense of meaning, and perhaps my visiting has helped to awaken even further something, that they are even not sure how they might define.”

Is the beatification of Pope Benedict XVI approaching?

Testimonies of miracles attributed to Benedict XVI continue to multiply, and many hope for the official opening of his canonization cause.

Benedict XVI passed on December 31, 2022, and Church law normally allows a beatification process to begin five years after death.

One year already as a Pope. Congratulations!
Say a prayer for Pope Leo XIV🙏

Today 8/5/2026 Pope Leon XIV celebrates the Eucharist in Pompeii and focuses his message on the power of the Rosary as a living path to Christ: "the Rosary continuously returns our life to Jesus and the Eucharist."

From the Marian Sanctuary also launches a loud cry for peace in the world: "Peace is born within the heart." No earthly power will save the world, but only the divine power of love.”
