Govt Support of Renee Good’s Murder Sends a Dark Message

Last updated on: January 13, 2026 at 11:21 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Renee Good was murdered by an ICE agent. The ICE agent who committed this murder appears to have been so certain that the Mad King — and the Mad King’s “Justice” Department — would allow him to get away with executing a woman right out in public that he videoed himself doing it. Renee Good and her lesbian spouse had been arguing with the agent. They were doing what a lot of good people in this country are doing, and... Read more

Pope’s Jan Prayer Intention: Let the Word of God Lead You.

Last updated on: January 10, 2026 at 12:12 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

I’ve been sick for the past several weeks. I wasn’t able to publish Pope Leo’s January prayer intention on January 1 and I apologize to you for the delay. It is such a beautiful prayer intention, one that we all need. I hope you will overlook my slowness in getting it to you and focus instead on the beauty and power of what our Holy Father is teaching us with his intention. Pope Leo is asking us to pray that...

Watch Video Highlights of Pope Leo’s Trip to the Middle East

Last updated on: December 2, 2025 at 12:44 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

As I was looking for the video about Pope Leo’s prayer intention for this month of December, I found wonderful videos of our Holy Father’s recent trip to the Middle East. He is the right pope for this time. As usual, the Holy Spirit knew what it was doing. It means so much to know that God has given us a Church that will speak out against injustice and cruelty all over the world. It increases my trust in... Read more

Pope’s December Prayer is for Christians Living in War Zones

Last updated on: December 2, 2025 at 9:57 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Pope Leo’s prayer intention for December coincides with his current visit to the Middle East. The Holy Father asks us to include prayers for the Christians who are living in areas of conflict, that their faith in Christ may provide the seeds of peace. Here is his prayer for this holy month of Advent in which we look forward to our Savior’s entrance into our fragmented and sinful world. Text of Pope Leo’s prayer intention God of peace, who through... Read more

Here the Top 10 Things I Thank God for this Thanksgiving.

Last updated on: November 27, 2025 at 8:48 am By Rebecca Hamilton

This has got to be quick. I’ve got two pies to make and a turkey to put in the oven. Then, I’ve got to finish getting all the stuff piled up in the dining room back to the places where it really belongs. I have a big — I think it’s seven feet, but don’t remember for sure — dining table that I often use for laying out fabric and cutting it for my sewing. I also use it to... Read more

We Live in a Free America. Be Thankful for It & Protect It.

Last updated on: November 26, 2025 at 11:43 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

We are constantly being flogged and manipulated by the Mad King and his media. The internet and cable news dump anger, resentment, fear, and chattering anxiety on us like volcanoes belching out sulphuric acid. The dark propaganda of tyrants is designed to appeal to the prurient side of our psyches. It is seductive and addictive; a kind of hate porn that ruthless media people use to keep us coming back to them for another fix. They make fortunes peddling hate... Read more

So, I flunked the cardiac stress test.

Last updated on: November 24, 2025 at 4:20 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

This episode with my heart began a couple of months ago. Or maybe not. Truth told, my heart has been an on-going cause of problems ever since I had my heart attack 8 years ago. The story is too long and too repetitive to tell you all the details. It would take a book. So, I’ll go back to the beginning of this specific string of events that led me to where I am now and tell you all about... Read more

Trump Border Czar: Bishops wrong. Catholic Church a “Mess.”

Last updated on: November 18, 2025 at 1:13 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

Well that didn’t take long. America’s bishops passed a unanimous statement calling for the just treatment of immigrants. They also released this video. Two days later, Tom Homan, Trump’s “border czar,” yapped back. In predictable Trump Regime fashion, Homan made grandiose and false statements about the work he is doing and attacked his critics — in this instance, the Catholic Church. Homan said that he was “saving lives.” That’s not true. People have died in his concentration camps. People have... Read more

Vatican Says No to Calling Mary “Co-Redemptrix.”

Last updated on: November 17, 2025 at 11:39 am By Rebecca Hamilton

Mary is the Mother of God, but she is not the “Co-Redemptrix” or “Mediatrix of all Graces,” and it is “not appropriate” for Catholics to refer to her in this manner. That is a blunt summation of the longish doctrinal note, Mater Populi Fidelis, published by the Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith and signed by Pope Leo week before last. Of course, the Vatican, being the Vatican, smudges the edges of the teaching by allowing that, yes, it... Read more

Bishops Speak Out Against Trump’s ICE Raids

Last updated on: November 17, 2025 at 12:04 pm By Rebecca Hamilton

The USCCB has released a powerful video expressing the American Catholic bishops’ opposition to the inhumane and illegal treatment of immigrants in this country. The video also outlines what has been the Church’s consistent call for comprehensive immigration reform that protects this country and also provides protection for immigrants from traffickers and those who would prey on them. The bishops stated that the source of their teaching in this matter is the simple reality that all human beings possess what... Read more
