Pope: Easter drives out hatred and brings down the mighty

At the Easter Vigil Mass in the Vatican, Pope Leo says that “God responds to the hardness of sin – which divides and kills – with the power of love, which unites and restores life”.
By Joseph Tulloch
Pope Leo XIV reflected on good, evil, and rebirth on Saturday evening, as he presided over the Easter Vigil Mass in St Peter’s Basilica.
Easter, the Pope said, quoting from an ancient hymn, “drives out hatred, fosters concord and brings down the mighty”.

The history of salvation
While the heart of the Easter story is Jesus’ resurrection from the dead, Pope Leo said, “the holy mystery of this night … extends across the centuries”.
In the nine Scripture passages read during the liturgy, the Pope explained, we glimpse some of the stages of this “path of reconciliation and grace”, from God’s creation of the world to the Israelites’ flight from Egypt to the ministry of St Paul.

Day 4 of the Divine Mercy Novena

In the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, Jesus asked that the Feast of Divine Mercy, known today as Divine Mercy Sunday, be preceded by a Novena to The Divine Mercy. A Novena is nine days of prayer in preparation for a feast. In the case of the Novena to Divine Mercy, we pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy each day for a specific intention. Those intentions are: all mankind, especially sinners; the souls of priests and religious; all devout and faithful souls; those who do not believe in God and those who do not yet know Jesus; the souls who have separated themselves from the Church; the meek and humble souls and the souls of little children; the souls who especially venerate and glorify His mercy; the souls detained in purgatory; and souls who have become lukewarm.
Our Lord told St. Faustina, "I desire that during these nine days you bring souls to the fountain of My mercy, that they may draw ... strength and refreshment and whatever grace they need in the hardships of life, and …

Hundreds of empty seats during Leo XIV’s Easter Vigil: Matt Butorac, a Catholic pilgrimage guide, reported on X that there were “hundreds of empty seats” during the Easter Vigil at St Peter’s Basilica. The screenshots, taken from a video he shared for "those claiming it was not empty", show the basilica during the baptisms. Butorac attributes this to ticketing issues and disorganised queues. However, shortly before the Eucharist began, entry was permitted without tickets and everyone was able to enter.

Archeologists Are Scared of Opening Gilgamesh's Tomb —And The Reason Will Make You Turn Pale
Whispers of a discovery buried beneath the sands of Iraq have terrified even the bravest archaeologists. Radar scans revealed structures matching the epic descriptions of Gilgamesh’s final resting place, yet no one dares break the seal. Why? Because what lies inside is rumored to defy history, science, and even human understanding. Could this be the tomb of a king who was said to be part man, part god? Or is it something even more dangerous? Tonight, we’ll uncover why this mystery has left experts pale with fear.

New Record: 14,000 Registered for Chartres Pilgrimage on First Day

Fourteen thousand people registered in a single day for the 2026 Notre-Dame de Chrétienté pilgrimage on the Paris–Chartres route, compared to 6,000 on the first day last year.
The pilgrimage will take place over Pentecost, from May 23 to 25, and is expected to gather 20,000 participants walking to Chartres.
A new, more accessible option - the “Jerusalem Route” - has been introduced. Shorter than the traditional 100 km walk (around 70 km), it is designed for those unable to complete the full distance. Like the main route, it also ends in Chartres, allowing more pilgrims to take part in the final stages of the pilgrimage.

The New Economics of Technocracy: “You Will Own Nothing” | Is Not a Slogan - It Is an Engineering Specification

Patrick Wood | https://substack.com/@patrickwood
Its Been A Long 50 Years
I have spent nearly fifty years documenting a system that most people refused to believe existed. For all of those 50 years, the elites foolishly swept me aside as a “conspiracy theorist.” But I am still here, and I won’t go away. The evidence speaks for itself.
The first time I put the endgame into words was in Technocracy Rising, published in 2015. I wrote then that if today’s technocrats were meticulously working toward a scientific dictatorship and applying a specific strategy to get there, they would have a specific list of criteria that must be met before “game over” is called. I asked: when that day comes, will they have the guts to shut the old world order down and simply declare the “system” as dictator?
That was eleven years ago. They have now called “game over.” And it is moving so fast that society and governments cannot keep up to regulate or stop it.
That is why I wrote and just released …

Yes, you will continue to bomb schools, universities, hospitals, science centers, libraries, and truck drivers, shopping centers and towns and villages. Poisoning their water. Killing many innocent children and people. We know. Just like you and Israel did to Gaza! What goes around comes around. This man given to America as punishment for our sins. He is a disaster to the world. And he is going to bring all of us all down with him. But, it is GOD'S Will that he does this. So be it.

The Scoppio del Carro, Explosion of the Cart, is one of the most amazing Easter Sunday traditions At the Duomo in Florence, a makeshift dove is launched from the church to a cart outside with a pyrotechnic display This tradition stems from the First Crusade, when a Florentine named Pazzino de' Pazzi was one of the first to scale the walls of Jerusalem, being rewarded with flints from the Holy Sepulchre which he then returned with and used for the Easter fire

Beautiful Easter Prayer Song -- PRAYER OF SAINT GREGORY (POPE)
PRAYER OF SAINT GREGORY (POPE) (An Easter Prayer)
It is only right, with all the powers of our heart and mind,
to praise You Father and Your Only-Begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Dear Father, by Your wondrous condescension of Loving-Kindness toward us, Your servants, You gave up Your Son. Dear Jesus You paid the debt of Adam for us to the Eternal Father by Your Blood poured forth in Loving-Kindness. You cleared away the darkness of sin by Your magnificent and radiant Resurrection. You broke the bonds of death and rose from the grave as a Conqueror. You reconciled Heaven and earth. Our life had no hope of Eternal Happiness before You redeemed us. Your Resurrection has washed away our sins, restored our innocence and brought us joy. How inestimable is the tenderness of Your Love! We pray You, Lord, to preserve Your servants in the peaceful enjoyment of this Easter happiness. We ask this through Jesus Christ Our Lord, Who …More
