Receive, O Lord, we beseech You, the sacrifice which we offer to You
for the final phase of our life: and grant
that by it all our sins may be cleansed away,
in order that we who, by Your provision, are stricken by scourges in this life,
may obtain eternal rest in the life to come.

To walk the path of holiness is to respond wholeheartedly to the call, “We are called to be saints.” The saints who have gone before us blazed a trail marked by virtues—habits of heart and will that conform us more perfectly to Christ. The Church’s wisdom gives us the classical Seven Virtues: the four cardinal virtues and the three theological virtues. Together, they form the foundation for growth in sanctity.

The past needs to be present to us because it is present to God; it shines forth His presence in time. The future cannot be present to us in the same way as it is present to God, but we know that He is present in the ages to come as He is present in the ages that have been. In the words of the well-known Gospel song, we know not what the future holds, but we know who holds the future.

Sadly, it appears that in our day and time on the earth that not many people are adhering to what this says, but they readily accept whatever sounds good to their ears and whatever is quick and easy and does not require much time or thought or consideration of words spoken to see whether or not what is being taught as truth is actually the truth being taught in the Scriptures. And the evidence of this is seen in how many are buying into a false diluted gospel which makes no requirements for death to sin and walks of obedience to God’s commands, but which coddles people in their sins.

But read this one verse in the context of the whole of 1 John, and not just in the immediate context (see vs. 2-3) which is easy to misinterpret because of the English translation. For the word “confess” is not a verbal acknowledgement of something only. The word means to speak to the same conclusion, in full agreement, to align with, in this case to be in full agreement with God about all that he teaches, and to align ourselves with his teachings via conforming our lives to be obedient to his commands, to walk in his ways, in truth, and to no longer live in captivity to sin.

So, in 1 John 1 we learn that if we say (profess, confess) that we are in fellowship with God (with God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit) but while we walk (in conduct, in lifestyle, in practice) in the darkness (sin, wickedness, immorality), we are lying and we do not practice the truth. But if we walk (in conduct, in lifestyle) in the Light (in Jesus Christ, in truth, in righteousness, in obedience to our Lord and his commands), the blood of Jesus, God’s only begotten Son, cleanses (frees us, delivers) us from all sin, and then we have fellowship with God and with others of faith in our Lord.

And in 1 John 2 we learn that we know that we have come to know God (Father, Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit) if we keep (obey, adhere to) his commandments (New Covenant) which teach that by faith in Jesus Christ we must deny self, die to sin daily, and follow our Lord in surrender to his will in walks of obedience to his commands. And this doesn’t mean we will never fail (1 John 2:1-2), but if we do not obey our Lord, in practice, we are lying and the truth is not in us. But if, by the grace of God, in the power of God, obedience to God is what we practice, then we are truly in Christ Jesus.

And 1 John 3:7-10 says, “Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.” (see also: Matthew 7:21-23; Luke 9:23-26; Romans 6:1-23)

Yet so many people today who profess faith in Jesus Christ are ignoring teachings such as these while they embrace multiple Scriptures being taught outside of their appropriate biblical context which are being made to say what they do not say if taught in the correct biblical context. And so they have the impression that they are saved and on their way to heaven even if they ignore God and his commands, and even if they deliberately and habitually continue to make sin their practice, and not obedience to God. But they are believing lies which will send them to hell on the promise of heaven. So be those who test the spirits and who believe God and his word.

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Acts 26:18]

I can do no less than praise You,
Lord, for all You’ve done for me.
You died for my sins to save me,
So I would be set free.
I adore You! Lord, I praise You!
Jesus, Savior, King of kings!
You provided my redemption.
Your grace has pardoned me.

I can do no less than serve You.
Lord, Your witness I would be,
Telling others of Your love,
And why You died on that tree.
Tell of how You gave of Your life,
So from sin we’d be set free,
So we could worship You forever,
And live eternally.

I can do no less than love You,
Lord, for You have first loved me.
You gave of Your life so willing,
Because You cared for me.
Turn from my sin! Obey freely!
Live for You each passing day.
Read Your word, and follow Your lead,
Lord, as I humbly pray.

Last thursday i had a row with my older sister, because she is claustrophobic and hates confined spaces , i locked her in her room, i enjoyed watching her kick and screaming to be let out, i only meant for her to be locked in for an hour or 2, while anyway my friend rang up and i got distracted and went out, i forgot about my sister, my parents came home 6 hours later and found her locked in, she had missed her driving lesson and a date with her boyfriend, my parents went mad and said i would be getting a taste of my own medicine , they said i will be spending ALL of this weekend locked in my room as a punishment,as i have exams this year my parents have set me tons of school work to do , including maths , english , french and science plus 2 punishment essays, as i write i am locked up and i DONT like it, are my parents being fair ?

Here's another short story with another different protagonist.
This one's inspired by a standup joke told by Daniel Tosh.



It was the year 2015. Cody pulled his Dodge Ram 1500 into the west parking lot at Sequoyah Park, where he and his wife, Faida, were planning to picnic for lunch. Cody had cooked 4 ground Italian sausage burgers. He had also made 2 blueberry muffins for Faida, as she was eating for both herself and their upcoming son, Henry. Cody had filled 2 thermal cups with lemonlimeade (a mixture of lemonade and limeade).

Cody was 28 years old. He was average male height. He was muscular and athletic. His hair was short and dark brown. He was completely white. Cody was dressed in a white t-shirt and blue jeans. On his feet, he wore white socks and brown cowboy boots tucked under his pant legs.

Faida was 27 years old. At this point, she was 7 months pregnant. She was firm-figured and moderately athletic. Her hair was long, straight, and very dark brown. Like her husband, she was completely white. Faida was dressed in a pale pink t-shirt and a gray sleeveless button-front maternity jumpsuit. On her feet, she wore white socks and white athletic shoes.

Cody made sure the women's restroom was available to Faida in case she needed it. He then laid out a sheet, and then sat with Faida on it. Cody got the food and drinks out of the container. He and Faida joined hands in prayer.
Faida prayed, "Lord, we thank You for the meal we're about to recieve for the nourishing of our bodies. Bless this meal, bless the hands that prepared this meal, bless the marital relationship between me and Cody. We thank You for our son growing in me. We beseech You to make him healthy in every way. We thank You for the gift of salvation brought to us by Jesus Christ. We accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name we pray, amen."
"Amen," said Cody.

Cody and Faida enjoyed their meal together while talking about many different things. After they were done, Cody helped Faida to her feet, and put everything back in the truck. Cody opened the front passenger door for Faida, and let her in. Seeing that Faida was safely inside, Cody shut the door. He then went around, to the driver's side, and got in. He started the truck. Seeing that the engine was still warm, he drove out of the parking lot, and turned right, onto Cherokee Boulevard. Cody was driving at a steady 34 miles per hour, even though the speed limit was 30 miles per hour. Suddenly, a black Koenigsegg Agera RS sped up quickly behind Cody's truck, skidded to Cody's speed, and was now tailgating very dangerously close. Cody had seen it all in his rear view mirror. Faida saw it too, in the outside mirror on her side.
"What in the world?!" said Cody.
"Speeder," Faida guessed, "Now, a tailgater."
"That's a Koenigsegg Agera RS," said Cody, "Those things are expensive and fast."
"I know," said Faida.
Cody and Faida then heard the sound of a car horn honking behind them repeatedly.
"Now, what?!" said Faida, turning her head, and looking out the back window.
The driver of the Koenigsegg was honking his horn repeatedly, wanting Cody to get out of the way.
"What's his problem?" said Cody.
"I don't know," said Faida, "Let's see. The driver is a blonde white guy who appears to be in his 20s. He's got 2 women with him, in the only passenger seat, one on the other one's lap, and they look around his age."
Faida saw the Koenigsegg's driver make an obscene gesture with his left hand.
Faida's mouth dropped open. "He made the obscene gesture at us," she said.
"Maybe, he feels he's entitled, because he can afford that car," said Cody, "Or because his parents can."
"Could be," said Faida, "Jesus warned about how much easier it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God's kingdom, and look at that guy back there; driving that car, acting all rude, and cursing at us with his hand. Now, about those 2 women with him, it seems at least one of them would tell him to stop acting the way he's acting. And, I'm also thinking he might be in a relationship with both of them."
"I hate that kind of relationship," said Cody, "I like it to be 1 man and 1 woman, just like us."
"Me too," said Faida, "Jesus said that marriage is between 1 man and 1 woman, and that's what we're doing."
"Totally," said Cody, "And I love it."
"Me too," said Faida.
The Koenigsegg's driver was still tailgating and honking his horn.
"Alright, that's it!" said Cody, "There's no one behind him, so I'm going to lollygag in front of him. If he thinks I'm going too slow now, I'll show him what too slow looks like."
Cody slowed his truck down to 20 miles per hour. The Koenigsegg's driver honked his horn in a long flatline.
"Oh! 'Sounds like I'm really ticking him off," said Cody.
Faida looked back, and saw a clearly enraged look on the Koenigsegg's driver's face. "I think so," she said.

Cody continued his slow drive with the impatient Koenigsegg driver tailgating, honking, and making his obscene gesture at him and Faida. As they approached the east end of the road, where it intersects with Kingston Pike, Cody and Faida noticed a dirty and unkempt homeless man standing in the median with a cardboard sign that said "Homeless. Need money for food."
"Aw! A homeless guy!" said Faida in a sympathetic tone.
Giggling mischieviously, Cody got his wallet out, removed a 20 dollar bill from it, put the wallet back in his pocket, and rolled his window down.
"We don't give panhandlers handouts," said Faida.
"This ain't a handout," said Cody, "I'm hiring him. Grab that handle, and hold on tight."
Faida tightly held the emergency handle on the ceiling with her right hand and her baby bump with her left hand. Cody held the money out the window, and the homeless man approached him.
"Here's 20 bucks," said Cody, giving the homeless man the money, "Now, as soon as the light turns green, I want you to go crazy on the car behind me."
The homeless man nodded in agreement and backed away from the truck. Soon after, the light turned green. Without even the slightest hesitation, the homeless man ran over to the Koenigsegg, placed his hands on the frunk, and cocked his head around with his tongue hanging out. Cody immediately stomped the gas to the floor, shooting through the intersection in a left turn onto Kingston Pike. He and Faida laughed the rest of the way home.

NORWICH, Conn. (AP) — The U.S. State Department has ordered certain public libraries nationwide to cease processing passport applications, disrupting a long-standing service that librarians say their communities have come to rely on and that has run smoothly for years.

Who says the private sector can do things better? This should be paid for by the taxpayers.

According to the Network Contagion Research Institute’s new report, "Democratic Socialists of America: Policy, Advocacy and Narrative Convergence with Hostile Foreign States," the organization has been engaging in a dynamic called "narrative convergence," advancing narratives that stoke domestic unrest and delegitimize state institutions while advancing talking points aligned with "hostile foreign governments."

Wake up America or we will lose our country.

This has to be the dumbest expression
I have ever heard concocted in theology!

“Eternity Past” = Present
Hebrews 7:3 Without father, without mother, without descent,
having neither beginning of days, nor end of life;
but made like unto the Son of God; abides a priest continually.

“having neither beginning of days, nor end of life”=Eternally Present; abiding continually.
The Son of God did not = the seed of Abraham until the incarnation in Christ Jesus.
The Son is eternally God, the seed of Abraham, or Christ, was spoken into existence
when the Son made promises to Abram from God.
*******************************************************************
What does “the foundation of the World” mean?
Tradition of Men
AI Overview
"Before the foundation of the world (order)"
in the Bible refers to “the eternity past”,
occurring before God created the universe.
It signifies that God's plans—specifically regarding
the salvation of believers (Ephesians 1:4), Christ’s glory (John 17:24),
and His grace (2 Timothy 1:9)—were ordained by His sovereign
purpose before time began.
Key Aspects of the Phrase:
Divine Sovereignty & Election: It indicates that God chose individuals in Christ
based on His purpose, not on human merit, before they existed.
Eternal Purpose: It highlights that salvation is not an afterthought
but a deliberate, pre-planned decree of God.
Christ's Preexistence: It affirms that Jesus existed and was loved
by the Father before creation, and was already designated to be the Savior.
In essence, this phrase emphasizes that God is in complete control,
and His plan of redemption was established in “the eternity past”.
***************************************************************************
The human heart is not established or "fixed" at birth, otherwise,
all of the scriptures that instruct to raise children in the fear
and the admonition of God would be in vain.

1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature,
because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward
appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

There is no predestination in the birthright of mankind, all receive light with life.
John 1:
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lights every man that comes into the world.

All have the opportunity to “choose life”, or establish themselves
within the worldly preferences of darkness.
John 3:20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light
and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

The predestination of the Elect is based on God’s ability
to take the measure of a person by seeing the heart,
and does not need the outward appearances of character,
or other ‘human potentialities’.
***********************************************
Kosmos, translated world, means “world order”,
established in the seed of Abraham.
Genesis 17:
4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham;
for a father of many nations have I made thee.
6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee,
and kings shall come out of thee.
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee
in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

The day the Lord confirmed His Covenant with Abraham and his seed,
the Lamb was slain to establish the foundation of the true world order in Christ.
Genesis 22:
15 Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven,
16 and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing,
and have not withheld your son, your only son—
17 blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars
of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall
possess the gate of their enemies.
18 In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”

Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life.
************************************************************************
Having observed the heart, the Lord is able to predestine the Elect
based on this foreknowledge. To say that this all happens without
the opportunity to choose life is a misguided interpretation of
Paul’s explanations and the testimony of God's Word.
Galatians 3:
7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.
8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith,
preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying,
“In you all the nations shall be blessed.”
9 So then those who are of faith are blessed in believing as Abraham.

The Lord’s Covenant by faith confirmed by oath with Abraham
15 Brethren, I speak in the manner of men:
Though it is only a man’s covenant,
yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it.
16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made.
He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one,
“And to your Seed,” who is Christ.
*************************************************************
Abraham saw his seed and knew the Promise was sure.
Hebrews 6:
17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise
the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie,
we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge
to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

"The Lamb slain before the foundation of the cosmos".
1 Corinthians 3:11 For no other foundation can anyone lay
than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ

The True World Order is established in Christ, "the seed of Abraham",
by which all God's promises are Yes, and Amen!
Psalm 119:89 For ever, O Lord, your (Spoken) Word is firmly fixed in the heavens.

John 8:
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”
57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”
58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”

WASHINGTON — Yesterday, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) chaired a hearing in his Homeland Security Subcommittee exposing the widespread fraud in state and federal programs, as well as the dark money groups sponsoring radical left-wing subversion in America’s streets.

“You testified that about a trillion dollars you think is lost in fraud every year. Where’s this money going?” Chairman Hawley asked Haywood Talcove, CEO of Lexis Nexis Risk Solutions.

Talcove responded, “It goes to terrorism, it goes to child trafficking, it goes to drugs… and then it’s used to purchase luxury items, cars, purses, homes. That’s all funded by people like me that pay taxes… $115 million an hour.”

Senator Hawley asked, “How do they get their hands on it?”

Talcove answered, “They go into programs that they know elected and appointed officials won’t touch, and they can steal at scale. And what happened really was during the pandemic… they learned a valuable lesson: the government never runs out of money and the probability of getting caught is virtually zero.”

So long as it affects other people and not you yourself, what are your thoughts on this?


And what if it ends up effecting you in some way?

"You require a passport level proof to vote". Several days later:

Nonprofit libraries ordered by State Department to stop processing passport applications

What do it take to convince you this government is trying to impede the voting process, if indeed they are?

It seems like whenever one tries to provide evidence of God, the Bible, ect. to an atheist they keep changing the goalposts.

One example is the simple fact of Jesus being a historical person.

You give them the Gospels as proof and that isn't good enough because it was written by Christians and therefore biased. You give them secular sources close to the time of Christ and those aren't good enough because they've been tainted by Christians. You give them other secular sources and they don't count because they came too late.

Atheists think they're governed by logic and science and have an incorruptible, rational view of everything. There's a least one fallacy they keep coming back to and it's changing the goalposts.

What should our attitude be toward those who are living in sin, whether or not they profess faith in Jesus Christ? We should love all people and treat all people with kindness. But what is kindness? It is not pacifying people in their sin. It is not refusal to speak to them the truth of God’s Word and to tell them that Jesus Christ died on a cross to put their sins to death with him so that they will, by God-persuaded faith in Jesus Christ, deny self, die to sin daily (repent of sin), and walk in obedience to our Lord’s commands.

And what if they are attending the gatherings of the church, but it is known that they are living sinful lifestyles, that they are deliberately and habitually choosing to live in sin, in immorality, and not in obedience to our Lord and to his commands? How should the church, the body of Christ, i.e. those of genuine walks of faith in obedience to our Lord respond? We should show them love, but love does not pacify nor approve of sin. Love speaks the truth in love, and it calls sinners to repentance, just like Jesus did.

For, what is the purpose of the church? Well, first of all let me state that the church is not a building. It is not a church denomination incorporated under the state (in an unholy union with the ungodly). It is not a business of human origin to be marketed to the people of the world like any other business. And its purpose is not to alter the gospel to make it less offensive to the ungodly, nor is it to entertain the world via worldly methods. For the church is the people of God who have died to sin and are obeying God.

And the purpose of our gatherings is to be for the mutual encouragement and strengthening of the body of Christ in walks of obedience to our Lord in holy living, and to warn against false teachers and false teaching, and against the deceitfulness of sin. We gather together as the body of Christ to help one another to live for the Lord, to obey his commands, and to walk in purity of devotion to our Lord so that none of us are led astray by liars and deceivers who would try to convince us that our sins do not matter.

We who believe in Jesus Christ are also the called of God to be taking the true biblical message of the gospel to the people of the world. And we should be giving them the whole truth and not these half-truth “gospel” renditions which do not put sin to death, but which coddle people in their sins, and which make no demands for walks of obedience to our Lord. For the Scriptures teach that if sin is what we practice, and not obedience to our Lord and to his commands, that we will not have eternal life with God.

For by God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ, which is not of our own doing, we are crucified with Christ in death to sin and raised with Christ to walk in newness of life in him, no longer to live as slaves to sin but as slaves to righteousness in walks of obedience to God’s commands. We are no longer to permit sin to reign in our mortal bodies to make us obey its desires. For if sin is what we obey, it results in death. But if obedience to God is what we obey, it results in sanctification, and its end is eternal life with God (see Romans 6:1-23).

[Matthew 7:13-14,21-23; Luke 9:23-26; Romans 6:1-23; Romans 8:1-14; Galatians 5:16-24; Ephesians 2:8-10; Ephesians 4:17-32; Ephesians 5:3-6; Titus 2:11-14; 1 John 1:1-10; 1 John 2:1-6; 1 John 3:4-10; Acts 26:18]

To the angels of all the churches write:
These are the words of your Lord and your God.
I know all your deeds, and your witness, too,
And who holds to My words and tells what’s true.
I know all your hard work and your perseverance,
Yet I hold against you: you’ve forsaken Me.
Listen to what I say to you.

You have people there who deny My name,
And who put the cross of Christ up to shame.
They entice the people to Me, profane,
And their worship of Me is all in vain.
They are so adult’rous as they chase their idols,
And you put up with them easily enough.
Listen to what I say to you.

You give off an image of godliness,
But what you present is so fraudulent,
Or else you lack passion for Jesus Christ,
So you look to others to tell what’s right.
I say turn from your sin, or you will face judgment.
He who overcomes will have eternal life.
Listen to what I say to you.

I know your afflictions and poverty;
How you suffer for your Lord patiently.
Do not fear the devil and company.
You be faithful to your Lord endlessly.
I know all your weakness and your dedication.
You have kept My Word and not denied your Lord.
I will write on you My new name.

On February 12, 2026, brave journalist and activist Tommy Robinson received a gut-wrenching phone call from Bedfordshire Police that exposed the rotten core of Britain’s two-tier justice system.

In a conversation he boldly shared with the world, a police officer delivered an Osman warning, a supposed “notification” of a credible threat to his life, revealing that an ISIS-linked propaganda rag had singled him out and urged jihadists to unleash violence against him.

The vile publication, Yalgaar (or Yalghar), is a blood-soaked manifesto from the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP),packed with 30 pages of terrorist glorification, calls for attacks in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and beyond, and banned as proscribed material in the UK. The cop admitted this intel came straight from counter-terrorism sources, but in true bureaucratic cowardice, warned Tommy that even trying to access it could land him in hot water for a “terrorism offense.”

(OSV News) – The ancient practice of fasting from food during Lent can free us from complacency and lead us to “hunger” for God, Pope Leo XIV said in his 2026 Lenten message.

Ahead of Ash Wednesday, which marks the start of the 40-day liturgical season of Lent, this year on Feb. 18, the pope encouraged people to embrace the “ancient ascetic practice” of abstaining from food, as well as “refraining from words that offend and hurt our neighbor.”

Lent is a time to “place the mystery of God back in the center of our lives, in order to find renewal in our faith and keep our hearts from being consumed by the anxieties and distractions of daily life,” the pope said.

“Abstaining from food is an ancient ascetic practice that is essential on the path of conversion,” he wrote. “Precisely because it involves the body, fasting makes it easier to recognize what we ‘hunger’ for and what we deem necessary for our sustenance.”

Taylor Kemp’s drive to be successful at soccer led him to some incredible achievements, including over 100 games as a defender for D.C. United.

He shares how his passion for success in his sport helped him realize that he couldn’t enjoy soccer properly if it was the most important thing in his life; it had taken on the role of a religion for him, and was occupying a space that was meant to be held by God alone.

(OSV News) — A federal district judge granted a preliminary injunction Feb. 12 that will allow clergy, religious and Catholic social justice advocates to enter a Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility west of Chicago on Ash Wednesday to provide ashes and holy Communion.

The order came after the group filed a lawsuit in November against the Trump administration following several attempts to give pastoral care to migrant detainees there.

In his order, U.S. District Judge Robert W. Gettleman for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division found “the government has substantially burdened the plaintiffs’ exercise of religion.”

Chicago-based Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership, as well as several priests and a religious sister described in their lawsuit ICE’s “complete denial” of the group’s right “to practice their religion at a detention center in Broadview” 12.5 miles west of downtown Chicago, after seeking federal agents’ permission numerous times to enter the facility where fellow Catholics are detained.

The Carmelite church at Whitefriar Street in Dublin is an unlikely but popular pilgrimage site for couples, who can venerate the patron of love’s relics.

To the secular world, St. Valentine is synonymous with cards, chocolates and lavish gifts of roses to mark this saint’s day.

But for the prior of Dublin’s Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Shrine of St. Valentine, the saint has a broader important significance to Catholics in understanding and celebrating the sacrament of marriage — with all of its joys and challenges.

“Our vocation is to be the love at the heart of the Church, and it is important that we look at how we communicate that,” Carmelite Father James Eivers told the Register.

Throngs of visitors are expected to visit the shrine on Feb. 14, and the priest wants them to know the Church’s view of marriage.


“The foundation of sacramental marriage is that vocation to love that God gives to married couples, supported through God’s grace, and the feast of St. Valentine is an opportunity to celebrate that love,” Father Eivers said.
