Many devout Catholics are solicitous to have Holy Masses celebrated for the repose of their souls after their death. For this purpose they save money and make provision in their last will to have a portion of their estate devoted to the offering of Holy Masses. This is good and praiseworthy, and persons acting thus should by no means be dissuaded from doing so. Yet it is far more profitable and meritorious to have Holy Masses celebrated for oneself during life. According to St. Anselm, a single Mass offered up in one’s lifetime is equivalent to many after one’s death. St. Leonard of Port Maurice likewise declares that one Mass before our death is much more profitable to us than many after it.

In the next world the time of grace ceases. God judges everything according to the rigor of His justice. Accordingly, every venial sin is punished so severely that many Masses may not suffice to cancel what one alone would have canceled during our lifetime. Moreover, if we defer having Holy Masses said until after our death, we shall be obliged to wait for their celebration, and this waiting will be most distressing and painful in case we are in Purgatory. From apparitions of poor souls to pious persons we learn that one hour in Purgatory seems to them as years in this world. Hence, it is better that the benefits accruing to us from Holy Mass be obtained in advance than that we be obliged to wait for them in the torments of Purgatory.

Theme of Today's Reflection: Simon and Jude Faithful Apostles and Witnesses of Christ
Simon and Jude are two great apostles of Jesus. Simon, known as the Zealot, redirected his passion and political zeal towards the service of Christ and the Gospel. Jude, revered as the patron saint of impossible cases, dedicated his life to spreading the Good News with courage and faith.

Together, these apostles form part of the foundation of our Christian faith. We are called to imitate their zeal for the Gospel, their unwavering commitment, and their total submission to the will of Jesus. Through our baptism, we too have been called and sent to participate in the mission of bringing the Good News to others.

How faithfully are we responding to this call? Simon and Jude remain shining examples for us, even in their martyrdom. Their lives and witness continue to draw souls to Christ. As we celebrate them today, let us ask ourselves: Are we proud of our faith, and are we willing to share it with others despite the challenges we may face?

Lord Jesus, make us a zealous witness of Your Gospel like Saints Simon and Jude

Fill us with courage to stand for our faith and proclaim Your name boldly

Turn our weakness into strength, our fear into faith, and our silence into testimony

Through the intercession of Saints Simon and Jude, help us bring souls to You, O Lord!

🙏 Amen!

😲WHY DO CHURCHES THAT LEAVE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH KEEP DIVIDING AGAIN AND AGAIN?🤔

_________________
Have you noticed this?
Every time a group breaks away from the Catholic Church, it only takes a short while before they divide among themselves again, and the cycle never stops.

Why? Because the Catholic Church is not man-made.
It is the one Church that Christ Himself built:

“You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18)

✝️IT STARTED WITH SOLA SCRIPTURA, AND DIVISION NEVER STOPPED

The idea that “the Bible alone” is the final authority (sola scriptura) sounds good at first.
But what happens when there’s no final authority to interpret it?

One verse.
A thousand interpretations.
One Bible, over 40,000 denominations.

Without the Pope, without the Councils, without the authority Christ gave to His apostles, everyone becomes their own pope.

One pastor says baptism saves.

Another says it’s just symbolic.

Another says “don’t baptize at all.”
All claim, “The Bible backs me up.”
When they disagree, they don’t fix it.
They split.

✝️A HISTORY OF DIVISION

The Protestant movement began with Martin Luther (1517), who rejected certain teachings of the Catholic Church and started the Lutheran Church.

Huldrych Zwingli (1484–1531), a Swiss reformer, disagreed with Luther, especially on the Eucharist, and started his own movement, which later influenced the Reformed Churches.

John Calvin (1509–1564) further split from Zwingli’s ideas, forming Calvinism, emphasizing predestination and “faith alone” theology.

Henry VIII of England, for personal reasons (mainly his marriage annulment), broke away from the Catholic Church and founded the Anglican Church (Church of England).

John Knox (1513–1572) broke away from Anglican influence and founded the Presbyterian Church in Scotland.

Anabaptists split from Zwingli, rejecting infant baptism and starting radical movements; from them came other groups...

The Saint who was once a Satanic priest.
Saint Bartolo Longo was converted because of the Holy Rosary.

The Miraculous Conversion of Saint Bartolo Longo

Saint Bartolo Longo’s life is one of the most powerful testimonies of conversion in the history of the Church—a story that proves no soul is beyond the reach of God’s mercy. Once immersed in darkness as a priest of a satanic cult, Bartolo’s transformation through the grace of the Holy Rosary reveals the boundless power of faith, repentance, and Our Lady’s intercession.

From Darkness to Despair

Born in 1841 in southern Italy, Bartolo Longo grew up in a devout Catholic family. However, as a young man pursuing law studies at the University of Naples, he became influenced by anti-religious movements that were common among students of his time. Seeking spiritual excitement, he was drawn into the occult and eventually became involved with satanic practices—so deeply that he was ordained as a “priest” in a satanic sect. His soul was tormented, and his life was consumed by anxiety, depression, and inner emptiness.

The Turning Point

Through the prayers of his loved ones and the persistent guidance of a faithful Dominican friar, Father Alberto Radente, Bartolo was led to reconsider the truth of the Catholic faith. Father Radente encouraged him to turn to the Blessed Virgin Mary and pray the Rosary. In 1871, after a long struggle, Bartolo renounced Satan, returned to the Church, and became a third-order Dominican, dedicating his life to spreading devotion to the Rosary.

The Apostle of the Rosary

Bartolo Longo’s newfound faith blossomed into heroic charity. He dedicated his life to serving the poor and the abandoned, particularly in the impoverished town of Pompeii. There, he restored the practice of the Rosary and promoted the construction of the now-famous Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii, which became a global center of Marian devotion.

He often said, “Whoever spreads the Rosary is saved!”—a motto that bec
