Thinking Like a Saint: Fr. Timothy Gallagher on Consolation, Desolation, & God's Will "Discernment begins when we understand our inner stirrings—recognizing what is from God and what is from the enemy." Renowned author and spiritual director Fr. Timothy Gallagher, OMV joins CatholicTV to discuss Thinking Like a Saint. Why is it so difficult to hear God's voice through the constant noise and distractions of modern life? Returning to CatholicTV after more than two decades, Father Timothy Gallagher, OMV steps into the living room on This Is the Day to unpack the timeless wisdom of Saint Ignatius of Loyola and his new book, Thinking Like a Saint. Fr. Gallagher explains that the spiritual life is naturally filled with ups and downs. Drawing from 40 years of teaching, he breaks down the essential dynamics of Spiritual Consolation (when God feels close and prayer is full of life) and Spiritual Desolation (when prayer feels dry, heavy, and difficult). Rather than leaving us stranded in these …More

Toxic indeed. Although, I suspect some of these are, no doubt, 'protected' by some form of governmental legislation and/or contractual arbitration depending upon the 'circumstances'. Unions have largely betrayed their original worthy and essential purposes.
Keep in mind that this technology is becoming increasingly sophisticated! Project Blue Beam is a theory proposed by Canadian researcher Serge Monast, claiming that NASA, the United Nations (UN), and a group of global elites are planning to establish a New World Order through a holographic simulation of a fake alien invasion or the return of religious figures.

"So that the soul that has denied and thrust away from itself the pleasures which come from all these things, and has mortified its desire with respect to them, may be said to be, as it were, in the darkness of night, which is naught else than an emptiness within itself of all things."
[Saint John of the Cross – XVI Century AD; born: Fontiveros, Crown of Castile, Spanish Monarchy/died: Ubeda, Crown of Castile, Spanish Monarchy; (Aged 49); Priest, Mystic, Writer, Doctor of the Church] “BOOK THE FIRST: Wherein is described the nature of dark night and how necessary it is to pass through it to Divine union; and in particular this book describes the dark night of sense, and desire, and the evils which these work in the soul. Chapter III ~ Speaks of the first cause of this night, which is that of the privation of the desire in all things, and gives the reason for which it is called night. WE here describe as night the privation of every kind of pleasure which belongs to the desire; for, even as night is naught but the privation of light, and, consequently, of all objects that can be seen by means of light, whereby the visual faculty remains unoccupied and in darkness, even so likewise the mortification of desire may be called night to the soul. For, when the soul is deprived …More

A Maine mother has been ordered by a court to stop reading the Bible to her daughter in her own home. Emily Bickford, a Christian mother, has been embroiled in a long-running custody dispute over the religious upbringing of her daughter, Ava. After becoming a Christian several years after Ava's birth, Bickford began taking her to church and teaching her the faith. The dispute intensified after Ava expressed interest in being baptized. A December 2024 court order restricted Bickford's ability to bring Ava to her church and gave the child's father significant authority over decisions concerning religious upbringing and medical care. Most notably, the order prohibits Bickford from reading the Bible to her daughter in her own home, a direct infringement on her religious freedom. Despite the restrictions, Ava continues to independently read the Bible and maintain her faith. Bickford plans to petition the U.S. Supreme Court with the help of Liberty Counsel. She continues to pray for Ava's …More

10.09.2026 RATIONAL VERSION OF THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH III. THE CHURCH IS CATHOLIC ⇡ The Church and non-Christians ⇡ 845 To reunite all his children, scattered and led astray by sin, the Father willed to call the whole of humanity together into his Son's Church. The Church is the place where humanity must rediscover its unity and salvation. The Church is "the world reconciled." She is that bark which "in the full sail of the Lord's cross, by the breath of the Holy Spirit, navigates safely in this world." According to another image dear to the Church Fathers, she is prefigured by Noah's ark, which alone saves from the flood.334 St. Augustine, Serm. 96,7,9:PL 38,588; St. Ambrose, De virg. 18 118:PL 16,297B; cf. already 1 Pet 3:20-21.
