Moderna’s flu vaccine shows positive late-stage trial results, paving way for combination Covid shot

How Japan managed to eradicate Sudden Infant Death Syndrome:

A leading American physician has issued an alarming wake-up call to Western nations by warning that Japan’s sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) crisis “disappeared” as soon as the government ended the country’s mandatory “vaccine” schedule. According to Dr. Pierre Kory, “neonatal mortality decreased” when the government stopped mandating “vaccines” for children under two.

Dr. Kory is the former Chief of the Critical Care Service and Medical Director of the Trauma and Life Support Center at the University of Wisconsin. Kory, a specialist in medicine and pulmonary and critical care, is also the president and chief medical officer of the Front Line Critical Care Alliance.

During an interview with CHD, Kory linked the practice of vaccinating babies in Western countries to surging SIDS cases.

“This actually happened in Japan,” Kory began. “I think this is really interesting because you look at how these two countries behave toward vaccines and vaccine safety, and Japan has done, really, some actions which are not followed by a lot of other Western, advanced health economies. But when they noticed this rash of deaths in the 70s, they saw – what they did is they raised the age of vaccination to two years old.

“Guess what happened when they did that?” Kory asked. “Infant deaths disappeared.”

Imagine how much better children’s health would be if they eliminated all mandatory childhood vaccines. And no, we wouldn’t see a widespread return of diseases that were virtually eliminated in the USA and elsewhere by improved sewage systems, because 98 percent of the decline in those diseases took place prior to the invention of the various vaccines, let alone their compulsory administration to children.

Today is the “optional” feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the new calendar. We don’t mind being bi-ritual when it suits us. -nvp

…As a result of Jesus entrusting His mother to John and the whole people of God and her subsequent Assumption into Heaven and coronation as Queen, we also ponder the perfection of human love for us, her children, that flows from Heaven. By God’s will, that perfection of love is bestowed upon the Church and all Her members through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We must not only ponder this glorious reality, we must also do all we can to be receptive sons and daughters of the love of our heavenly mother who loves us with a perfect love and bestows upon us the pure and perfect love of her Son’s divine grace that was instilled in her Immaculate Heart.

Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary began in apostolic times and continued through great saints, such as Ephrem the Syrian, Cyril of Alexandria, John Damascene, Gregory of Nazianzus, Ambrose of Milan, Augustine of Hippo, and Jerome. Though they did not make specific reference to the Immaculate Heart, they spoke of the Blessed Mother’s many virtues. These saints especially helped to lay the foundation for proclaiming Mary as the Mother of God (Theotokos) at the Council of Ephesus in 431.

From the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries, a number of saints contributed to the deeping of our understanding of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Among them are Saints Anselm of Canterbury, Bernard of Clairvaux, Mechtilde, Gertrude the Great, Bridget of Sweden, and Bernardino of Siena.

From the sixteenth century to the twentieth centuries, many other saints continued to develop our understanding of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In 1648, Saint John Eudes, a French priest and founder of the Congregation of Jesus and Mary, instituted a local feast in honor of the Holy Heart of Mary, fostering a realization of the love that the Blessed Mother had for her Son and for all people. This was the first liturgical feast approved by a local ordinary specifically honoring the “Holy Heart of Mary.” After him, Saints Louis de Montfort and Alphonsus Liguori wrote extensively on the Blessed Virgin Mary.

In 1854, Pope Pius IX proclaimed the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception, which paved the way for the specific title of the Immaculate Heart, and in the early twentieth century, Saint Maximilian Kolbe wrote extensively on the Immaculata.

In 1916, an angel appeared to three children in Fátima, Portugal, speaking of the “infinite merits of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.” The following year, the Blessed Virgin Mary, under the title of “Our Lady of the Rosary,” appeared six times to the children. During the second apparition, Our Lady said that Jesus “wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart.” In 1925 and 1929, Our Lady appeared again to Lúcia to ask that her Immaculate Heart be honored on the first Saturday of each month.

In 1944, Pope Pius XII instituted the universal feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary to be celebrated annually on August 22, and in 1969, Pope Paul VI moved the celebration to the Saturday after the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart.

As we honor the holy, most pure, and Immaculate Heart of Mary, try to ponder that which the Blessed Virgin Mary pondered during her life. Ponder the love she had for her Son. Ponder the mysteries contained within her heart. As you do, especially ponder the love that her heart has for you. Only in Heaven will we fully understand the holiness of Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart. For now, we must foster devotion to all that is contained within it and seek to open ourselves to the ongoing outpouring of God’s grace that dwells in an immaculate way in that holy sanctuary of love.

Prayer: Immaculate Heart of Mary, I love you and give praise and thanks to God for the unfathomable graces that were instilled within your heart at the moment of your conception and remain with you today and forever. Please pour down upon me and upon the whole world the loving mercy of Your Son, so that I can more fully become your child and a child of God. Please pray for me and for the whole world so that one day your Immaculate Heart will triumph and all people will come to know and love your divine Son. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You!

“I understood that devotion to the Sacred Heart is a last effort of His love towards Christians of these latter times, by proposing to them an object and means so calculated to persuade them to love Him… This devotion was the last effort of His love that He would grant to men in these latter ages, in order to withdraw them from the empire of Satan which Jesus desired to destroy, and thus to introduce them to the sweet liberty of the rule of His love, which He wished to restore in the hearts of all those who should embrace this devotion.” -St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, vision of the Sacred Heart, 1673

Blessed Feast of the Sacred Heart, an object and means so calculated to persuade you to love Him, if even in a fraction of the way He loves you.

Zohran Mamdani, a self-identified far-left democratic socialist, has secured the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor after defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo. His sweeping far-left progressive platform—centered on government-run grocery stores, free public buses, universal childcare, defunding the police, protecting criminal illegal aliens, and rejecting President Trump’s ‘America First’ agenda—has triggered renewed concerns over ideological extremism in the dangerous sanctuary city. More broadly, it has reignited fears of communism spreading across the nation.

The current mayor, Democrat Eric Adams, is expected to appear on the November ballot as an independent candidate. His challenger on the Republican ticket is Curtis Sliwa—a radio personality and founder of the Guardian Angels anti-crime patrol—who previously lost to Adams in the 2021 mayoral race.

Tuesday’s news of foreign-born Zohran Mamdani defeating Cuomo in the Democratic primary sent shockwaves through political circles on X, sparking widespread concern over the rise of anti-American far-left extremism…

“The last 13 years of demoralization from Rome has made desperate Western Catholics ready to follow anyone, even another non-Catholic.  They are willing to “disbelieve their lying eyes” on the evidence pointing to yet another Marxist.  Why? Consider again the words of KGB-defector Yuri Bezmenov on a dejected people:  “A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information.  The facts tell nothing to him.  Even if I shower him with information, with the authentic truth, with documents, with pictures.  Even if I take him by force… he will refuse to believe it.””

Today is the Feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, born without the stain of Original Sin, thanks to the miraculous grace of his gestational Baptism at the moment of the Visitation. When John leaped in the womb of Elizabeth, at the approach of the Blessed Virgin carrying our Lord in her own womb, John was Baptized in his own amniotic fluid. Pretty cool.

That moment of his Baptism, the Visitation, is the Second Joyful Mystery of the Most Holy Rosary. The fruit of the mystery is Fraternal Charity. St. John loved our Lord, and so he loved the law. The two things go together like a horse and carriage; you can’t have one without the other, as the song goes. As the great Forerunner of Christ, John never suffered from mission creep, and his mission was to point to the truth: Point to our Lord, and point to the Law.

For this he would give his life.

The reason for his beheading was his intransigence on the Commandments, which he loved dearly, because he loved our Lord. But I repeat myself. The subject matter in this case was the sanctity of marriage. Fraternal Charity is exactly what St. John was practicing when he rebuked Herod over his adulterous sham “marriage.” St. John laid down his life out of love of our Lord, out of love for His law, AND FOR THE SAKE OF HEROD’S SOUL. That’s Fraternal Charity, folks. We would do well to meditate on this, and pray to be given an ounce of his courage. We are going to need it.

St. John the Baptist, pray for us.

At that time, Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him prison for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her. For John said to Herod: “It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.” Now Herodias laid snares for him: and was desirous to put him to death and could not. For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a just and holy man: and kept him, and when he heard him, did many things: and he heard him willingly. And when a convenient day was come, Herod made a supper for his birthday, for the princes, and tribunes, and chief men of Galilee. And when the daughter of the same Herodias had come in, and had danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the king said to the damsel: “Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee.” And he swore to her: “Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give thee, though it be the half of my kingdom.” Who when she was gone out, said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” But her mother said: “The head of John the Baptist.” And when she was come in immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying: “I will that forthwith thou give me in a dish, the head of John the Baptist.” And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her: But sending an executioner, he commanded that his head should be brought in a dish. And he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish: and gave to the damsel, and the damsel gave it her mother. Which his disciples hearing came, and took his body, and laid it in a tomb. -Mark 6:17-29
