The Transfiguration of Our Lord

Saint of the Day, August 6, 1965
by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
August 6 is the feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ. On this day, the first church on Mount Tabor was dedicated. Tradition has it that Mount Tabor was the “high mountain” described in the Gospel as the site of the Transfiguration.
In 1457, Pope Callistus III ordered this feast to be solemnly celebrated throughout Christendom in thanksgiving for the defeat of the Turks in Belgrade, especially due to the heroic efforts of Saint John of Capistrano. The novena to Our Lady of the Assumption also begins on this day.
We all know the Gospel episode in which the Lord goes up with Peter, James and John to the top of Mount Tabor. At a certain moment, He manifests Himself in all His glory with Moses on one side and Elijah, our spiritual father, on the other.
The disciples are so enthralled with His glory that they express a desire to remain there. However, this external manifestation of glory gradually diminishes as the …More

Pope Leo appoints pro-LGBT Australian archbishop to Dicastery for Evangelisation - Pax Orbis

Archbishop Peter Comensoli of Melbourne, Victoria, who is known for his support for LGBT Catholics and ecumenical dialogue, was appointed to the position on June 27th by Pope Leo, along with Archbishop Filippo Iannone O Carm and Archbishop Èric de Moulins-Beaufort. by Kathy Clubb Archbishop Comensoli will join the Section for Fundamental Questions regarding Evangelisation in the World; another area of the Dicastery deals with First Evangelisation and New Particular Churches. The Dicastery for Evangelisation is presided over directly by the Roman pontiff. The role of the dicastery, according to its constitution: ‘serves the work of evangelisation, so that Christ, the light of the nations, may be known and witnessed to by word and deed, and the Church, his mystical Body, may be built up.’ One problem becomes immediately obvious: Peter Comensoli has little idea of what constitutes the Catholic Church. For him and those who surround him, “Church” is a loosely-defined conglomeration of …

27K views · 1.2K reactions | Beet kraut is an excellent first ferment to make at home. Beetroot brings natural sweetness and earthy flavour, and cabbage is a classic starting point for fermentation. To make it, finely shred cabbage and grate or julienne raw beetroot. Weigh everything, then add 2% salt by weight (20g of salt for every 1kg of vegetables). Massage the vegetables for 5 to 10 minutes until they release plenty of liquid. Pack them tightly into a clean jar, pressing firmly to remove air pockets and ensuring the vegetables stay completely submerged beneath their own brine. If needed, use a fermentation weight or a small clean jar to keep them below the surface. Leave it to ferment at room temperature for around 7 to 14 days, depending on how warm your kitchen is and how tangy you like it. Once you’re happy with the flavour, move it to the fridge, where it will continue to develop slowly over the following weeks. By the end, you’ll have a colourful kraut that’s delicious alongside …More

Munich Archdiocese: Can there be a more protestant cereony than this catholic event with bread and whine led by women?

Am vergangenen Wochenende wurde in der Zugspitzkapelle auf Deutschlands höchstem Berg eine Maria-Magdalena-Kerze gesegnet und ein neuer „Apostelin-Leuchter“ eingeführt. Die Feier fand als Wort-Gottes-Feier von Pastoralassistentinnen statt. 📷 Erzbistum München und Freising

Bistro on Roof of St. Peter's Basilica Ready to Open: A bistro on the roof of St. Peter's Basilica is ready to open, according to IlMessaggero.it. The new dining area, located beneath the basilica's dome, could open as early as September. The Vatican has maintained that the project is an expansion of the existing snack bar, where visitors can buy coffee, drinks and light snacks. Il Messaggero, however, reports that the completed facility includes a fully equipped kitchen and a dedicated bistro area opposite the current snack bar.

Più che bucatini all'amatriciana, penne pomodoro e... basilica. Con vista, piuttosto ampia, sulle polemiche. Torna a far discutere la decisione del Vaticano di aprire un punto di ristorazione sul tetto di San Pietro, il celeberrimo Cupolone, luogo simbolo non solo della città eterna ma anche della cristianità mondiale.
...E invece ad alzare la serranda, in alcuni dei locali che un tempo servivano per il ricovero dei materiali usati dagli addetti alla cura della basilica, dovrebbe invece essere un vero e proprio bistrot, destinato a essere paradiso di quei palati pronti a peccare di gola.
L'occasione... golosa - Sfumata l'occasione di inaugurarlo durante il Giubileo, resterebbe quella dei 400 anni dall'apertura di San Pietro, datata novembre 1626. Un'occasione piuttosto golosa per sfoggiare il nuovo locale, che sempre in base alle informazioni raccolte dovrebbe sfruttare al meglio anche il grande terrazzamento in grado di offrire una spettacolare visuale su tutta Roma. Il tutto tra …More

Vaticano, tutto pronto per il bistrot sul Cupolone: apertura a breve (tra le polemiche)

Il silenzio del Pontefice L'iniziativa, riprende Il Messaggero, è stata seguita personalmente dal cardinale Mauro Gambetti, arciprete di San Pietro il cui mandato sarebbe anche scaduto. Era stato proprio lui a difendere la bontà del progetto, ancorché ridimensionato rispetto ai piani originali, sul finire dello scorso inverno. Chi in questi giorni ha visitato i locali, sostiene il quotidiano, "riferisce che la cucina è moderna e pienamente operativa, pronta a entrare in funzione senza ulteriori interventi". Chi invece non si è ancora esposto sulla questione è Papa Leone XIV, che però avrebbe anche la possibilità di porre il proprio veto all'apertura del locale. Che, in attesa del battesimo, ha già fatto il pieno di critiche e polemiche.

Cardinal Pizzaballa Visited Roman Rite Monastery: On July 11–12, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, visited the Old Rite Benedictine monastery of San Benedetto in Monte in Norcia, Italy. In Norcia, he received the civic award International St. Benedict Prize for Peace. Reflecting on the war in Gaza, Cardinal Pizzaballa compared the region's future reconstruction to Norcia's recovery after the 2016 earthquake. During his visit, he joined the monks for the Roman Rite liturgy, encouraged their vocation of prayer, and toured the monastery's growing apostolates, including an educational apostolate, guesthouse, and brewery.

Da Norcia una speranza anche per Gaza

Norcia - Il mese scorso, tra ciò che resta dell'Università pubblica di Gaza, un giovane studente ha condiviso con il cardinale Pierbattista Pizzaballa un desiderio: «Non vogliamo più la violenza». Ieri, 11 luglio 2026, festa liturgica di San Benedetto, il Patriarca di Gerusalemme dei Latini ha portato quelle parole a Norcia, città che di distruzione e ricostruzione ne sa qualcosa. Qui ha ricevuto la prima edizione del Premio internazionale San Benedetto da Norcia, dedicata quest'anno alla pace. Il simbolo scelto per l'occasione dice già tutto. L'opera consegnata al porporato, realizzata dall'artista Andrea Roggi, è ancorata a una pietra recuperata dalle macerie del terremoto del 2016: da un mondo lacerato si leva un volo di rondini, immagine che la tradizione lega alla figura del Patriarca del monachesimo occidentale. Una pietra di Norcia che parla a Gerusalemme, e viceversa. © Arcidiocesi Spoleto - Norcia Il parallelo tra due ricostruzioni È stato lo stesso Pizzaballa a esplicitare il …
