1 Timothy 2:9-12
In like manner women also in decent apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire, but as it becometh women professing godliness, with good works.
Let the woman learn in silence, with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over the man: but to be in silence.

APRIL 25 — ST. MARK, EVANGELIST
The Roman people entreated St. Mark to put in writing for them the substance of St. Peter's frequent discourses on Our Lord's life. This the Evangelist did under the eye and with the express sanction of the Apostle, and every page of his brief but graphic Gospel so bore the impress of St. Peter's character, that the Fathers used to name it "Peter's Gospel." St. Mark was now sent to Egypt to found the Church of Alexandria. Here his disciples became the wonder of the world for their piety and asceticism, so that St. Jerome speaks of St. Mark as the father of the anchorites, who at a later time thronged the Egyptian deserts. Here too he set up the first Christian school, the fruitful mother of many illustrious doctors and bishops. After governing his see for many years, St. Mark was one day seized by the heathen, dragged by ropes over stones, and thrown into prison. On the morrow the torture was repeated, and having been consoled by a vision of angels and the voice of Jesus, St. Mark went to his reward.
It is to St. Mark that we owe the many slight touches which give such vivid coloring to the Gospel scenes, and help us to picture to ourselves the very gestures and looks of Our Blessed Lord. It is he alone who notes that in the Temptation Jesus was "with the beasts;" that He slept in the boat “on a pillow;" that He "embraced" the little children. He alone preserves for us the commanding words "Peace, be still!" by which the storm was quelled; or even the very sounds of His voice, the "Ephphetha" and "Talitha cumi," by which the dumb were made to speak and the dead to rise. So too the "looking round about with anger," and the "sighing deeply," long treasured in the memory of the penitent Apostle, who was himself converted by his Saviour's look, are here recorded by his faithful interpreter.
REFLECTION. — Learn from St. Mark to keep the image of the Son of Man ever before your mind, and to ponder every syllable which fell from His lips.

St. Mark, pray for us.

April 23rd ~ FEAST of ST. GEORGE, Martyr
The feast of St. George is found in the Ethiopian, Coptic, Syriac, and Latin liturgies. The ancIent "Georgia" is named after him. He is renowned as the armed defender of the Church, one who carried the trophIes of victory over the enemy. The Emperor Dlocletian had at first favored this lllustrious son of a noble family of Cappadocia, but when St. George reproached the Emperor with hIs cruelty to ChristIans, he was cast into prIson and put to death with such great cruelty that in the Eastern Liturgy he Is styled the "Great Martyr." England chose him for her patron in 800.

And Jesus again crying with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And behold the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top even to the bottom, and the earth quaked, and the rocks were rent. And the graves were opened: and many bodies of the saints that had slept arose, and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection, came into the holy city, and appeared to many. Now the centurion and they that were with him watching Jesus, having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were sore afraid, saying: Indeed this was the Son of God.

This story really upset me.
In England, a Pakistani driver hit and killed a nine-year-old girl, then blamed his victim for “running out onto the road.”
But dash-cam footage proved he hit the girl while running a red light at 78km/h, which he initially denied in his statement.
I don’t care what anyone says, this is not a random tragedy. This is about race.
These third-world mutants cannot drive and they cannot adapt to our standards. It’s in their nature to exploit, cheat and kill, then lie about it. They’re not like us and they can only ever be a dangerous nuisance.
How many more of our children need to be sacrificed on the altar of immigration until we get it?

I have a question for the ADL, Benjamin Netanyahu, the ADC in Australia, Dvir Abramovic, and Ben Shapiro.
Can trees be anti-semitic, and can they be arrested? Probably not while they're burning I guess, but the hate crimes against the poor and innocent Jews are getting a little too much!

St Robert Bellarmine lamented on April 25, 1605, before a conclave, that he could not think of a single candidate who was suited to become bishop of Rome. He wrote in a private letter:
"We are about to enter into a conclave again, and we have need of much prayer, for I do not see a single person in the Sacred College [of Cardinals] that possesses the qualities [necessary]. And what is worse, no one is looking for such a person. It seems to me that for the Vicar of Christ, we are not looking for someone who knows the will of God, that is, who is well-versed in Sacred Scripture; instead [we are looking] only for one who knows the will of Justinian [the legislator] and other similar authors. We are looking for a good temporal prince, not a holy bishop who truly spends himself for the good of souls."

St Matthew 28:2-9
And behold there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and coming, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. And his countenance was as lightning, and his raiment as snow. And for fear of him, the guards were struck with terror, and became as dead men. And the angel answering, said to the women: Fear not you; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, and see the place where the Lord was laid.
And going quickly, tell ye his disciples that he is risen: and behold he will go before you into Galilee; there you shall see him. Lo, I have foretold it to you. And they went out quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy, running to tell his disciples. And behold Jesus met them, saying: All hail. But they came up and took hold of his feet, and adored him.

When St. Peter was writing his first Epistle to the Churches of Asia, he affectionately joins with his own salutation that of his faithful companion, whom he calls "my son Mark."
