Three different colors of the robes and what they mean ~ " I am no more of this world," he replied, "and I come here only in fulfilment of my promise." At these words Lutgarda fell on her knees and remained for some time quite confounded. Then, raising her eyes to her blessed friend, " Why," said she, " are you clothed in such splendour? What does this triple robe signify with which I see you adorned ? " " The white garment," he replied, " signifies virginal purity, which I have always preserved; the red tunic implies the labours and sufferings which have prematurely exhausted my strength ; and the blue mantle, which covers all, denotes the perfection of the spiritual life." Having said these words, he sud- denly left Lutgarda, who remained divided between regret for having lost so good a Father, and the joy she experienced on account of his happiness."
‘Pope Innocent III. …’ – ‘Purgatory’ by Rev. Shouppe; 1929; Chapter XXIII; p. 72-74, part II Chapter XXIII ~ Duration of Purgatory — The Cistercian Abbot and Pope Innocent III. — -John de Lierre. Aside from this, considering the event in itself, can we find any good reason for calling it into question ? Do we not know that God makes no exception of persons — that the Popes appear before His tribunal like the humblest of the faithful — that all the great and the lowly are equal before Him, and that each one receives according to his works? Do we not know that those who govern others have a great responsibility, and will have to render a severe account? Judicium durissimum his qui prcesunt fiet — "A most severe judgment shall be for them that bear rule."1 It is the Holy Ghost that declares it.

Bebo’s FriendsYou might have thought that Ukrainians took to the streets to protest for presidential elections and an end to the war... Nope. In fact, it seems they took to the streets (or were brought out by globalists—with a distinct whiff of Soros -#RESIST-style on them) because they were bothered by Klitschko a few days ago, when he raised some pertinent questions and made certain statements: Where is the air defense and the billions? At the same time, all you hear from these endless talk shows is that something is wrong in Kiev, or that something was done poorly. It's as if we're still living in 2019. You can say anything, blame Klitschko for anything, even WW3. But it's not just me who's asking: where is the air defense to protect the capital? Where is the protection for "Ukrenergo" facilities? Where are the billions allocated for this?

Homily Monday, October 19, 2026 Ephesians 2:1-10 " We are created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared in advance, that we should live in them." God is. We reflect God through good thoughts, words, and actions. Luke 12:13-21 Jesus said, "The things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?" It would be worthwhile to cleanse our minds and surrender to the Lord all that is negative and then rejoice in what is wise. Biblical texts: NAB-RE Normand Thomas.
