Cardinal Raymond Burke: Confronting the World: A Nine-Month Novena

By Cardinal Raymond Burke, Catholic Exchange - To this end, I am calling on all Catholics, especially those in the Americas, to join me in praying a nine-month novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe, beginning on March 12 of this year, and ending with a consecration to Our Lady of Guadalupe on her feast on December 12... Our Lady of Guadalupe bids us to come to her, so that she may lead us to her Divine Son, the only source of our salvation. The situation in the world today is grave, even as it was at the time of her apparitions in 1531, but we must never give up hope, we must never turn away from the maternal gaze of the Mother of God Who draws us to her Divine Son alive for us in the Church, above all, in the Sacraments of Penance and the Holy Eucharist.

Msgr. Charles Pope: A Study of Fear in the Story of Chicken Little

By Msgr. Charles Pope - Fear is a complex passion. On the one hand, there are things that we ought to fear such as grave physical and spiritual dangers. The fear of being near the edge of a cliff might well save our life. The fear of serious sin and the punishment we might experience or the offense to God (who loves us) is both appropriate and holy. Sadly, more people lack this holy fear rooted in the possible loss of what is most precious to us: our eternal life with God... There are also things we fear that we should not, and things that we fear more than we should. These sorts of fears are usually rooted in our disordered and inordinate affections.

President Bukele spoke on the evening of February 22 at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), telling his audience that “they say globalism comes to die at CPAC. I’m here to tell you that, in El Salvador, it’s already dead.
