Question: Why do bad things happen to good people? Answer: See below quote of Padre Pio’s which may provide at least one answer to this age-old question. THIS will make you stop and think, especially regarding you and family members. We've been told by Our Lady that many souls go to Hell because there is no one to pray and make sacrifices for them.

Allah’s teachings are barbaric. They say it’s okay to use violence against women. And there are people who defend these insane acts and join in the violence. How are we supposed to coexist with people like this? They are the enemy of the world.

🚨 BREAKING: Alabama prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for all eight people charged in the torture and execution of 20-year-old Mahogany Jackson in Birmingham. Jackson was handcuffed, stripped, and subjected to hours of abuse that the suspects filmed. She texted family early on February 25 that she was being held hostage. Video later showed her being stomped on, spit on, dragged naked by her hair toward a car trunk, and forced to perform sex acts at gunpoint. She was shot in the back of the head and her body dumped at a site known locally as “Dead Man’s Road.” The eight indicted on capital murder, kidnapping, and sodomy: Giovonnie Clapp, Blair Green, Teja Lewis, Si’Niya McCall, Airana Robinson, Brandon Pope, Francis Harris, and Jeremiah McDowell. Veteran investigators called it one of the most gruesome cases they’ve ever seen. Prosecutors are moving forward with no mercy. Death penalty for all of them.

MORTAL SINS LIST SINS AGAINST FAITH This is a LinkedIn post by Marcelo Emanuel (1st connection, "Catholic Author / Marketin...", posted 1h ago). Sins against Faith I. MORTAL SINS 1Have I denied that I was a Catholic, or openly expressed my disbelief in any doctrine of the Catholic faith? 2Have I affiliated myself, even for a short time, with a non-Catholic sect or religious body? 3Have I suggested or encouraged doubts about the Catholic faith in the minds of others? 4Have I seriously expressed the opinion that all religions are equally good or equally true or equally pleasing to God? 5Have I neglected to settle, by reading, studying, consulting, etc., serious doubts about my faith, when such neglect was evidently leading to a loss of faith? 6Have I, without the necessary permission, read or kept or given to others forbidden books, such as Protestant Bibles, books on the Index of Prohibited Publications, books that pretend or profess to disprove the truth of the Catholic faith or that profess to prove the truth of a religion contrary to my faith? 7Have I, without a serious reason, associated with persons who tried to destroy my faith? 8Have I attended meetings or listened to speeches or sermons, which I knew would destroy or seriously weaken my faith? 9Have I joined a secret society forbidden by the laws of the Church, such as the Masons, the Oddfellows, etc? 10Have I taken part in a Protestant church service? 11Have I contributed to the advancement of a non-Catholic religious sect or movement as such? 12Have I consulted a fortune-teller in the serious belief that I could learn something about the future, or made others think that I could tell their future when I knew that there was no adequate natural means of so doing? 13Have I attended a spiritualistic seance? 14Have I planned to marry, or actually pretended to enter the state of marriage, before a minister, or a judge, or a civil magistrate?

From St. Faustina’s Diary Undeserved Suffering Meditation: Do not be surprised that you are sometimes unjustly accused. I Myself first drank this cup of undeserved suffering for love of you (Diary, 289). 1934, Holy Thursday. Jesus said to me, I desire that you make an offering of yourself for sinners and especially for those souls who have lost hope in God’s mercy (Diary, 308). My Prayer Response: Jesus, by the merits of Your undeserved sufferings for us, help those who are unjustly accused and suffering without hope. Give them courage, Lord, to endure their sufferings out of love for You and souls.

Diversity is missing a white male.
I’m proud to have the most talented, hardest-working cabinet in Virginia’s history. They are also the most diverse cabinet Virginia has ever seen. Every single one of our cabinet secretaries were selected because they’re the best of the best in their respective fields. They also bring invaluable perspectives from across the Commonwealth — from Danville, Hampton Roads, Richmond, NOVA, and more. I’m grateful to get to work with these incredibly dedicated, hard-working, and talented cabinet officials to serve the Commonwealth of Virginia. richmond.com/opinion/column/…

The Novus Ordo insults God, and degrades those who participate in it

Transgender people are mentally ill and prone to violent, criminal behavior. See more proof below.
"I think Republicans should be shot in the streets, personally." A transgender student at the University of Utah was caught on video making the remark before attacking a College Republicans member during a campus confrontation Tuesday. The incident unfolded after Republican students set up a poll asking whether there are only two genders. Amber Grace is reportedly facing assault and property damage charges, while advocates are calling for the charges to be dropped, alleging Grace was harassed and targeted with transphobic remarks.

From St. Faustina’s Diary Great Pain for Sin Meditation: My Heart was moved by great mercy towards you, My dearest child, when I saw you torn to shreds because of the great pain you suffered in repenting for your sins (Diary, 282). My Prayer Response: Lord Jesus, You promised to St. Faustina that the sinner has the greatest right to Your mercy (see Diary, 723, 1146, 1275). Have mercy, Lord, on all who strive to repent and reform. Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska: Divine Mercy in My Soul © 1987 Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception of the B.V.M.
