Saint Leopold Mandic, a Capuchin Franciscan, was well known as a good confessor and spiritual director. His one aim in life was to work for the reunification of the Orthodox church with Rome: a goal he prayed for but was unable to achieve due in part to poor health.

Just months after a supposed Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) image presented by whistleblower Luis Elizondo was revealed to be a common chandelier, the former Pentagon official has once again found himself at the center of controversy. During yesterday’s highly anticipated congressional hearing on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), Elizondo presented another photograph purported to depict an anomalous aerial vehicle. However, online investigators have swiftly debunked the image, identifying it as a mundane terrestrial scene. The image in question, displayed prominently during Elizondo’s testimony, allegedly showed a dark, oval-shaped object hovering over a lighter circular area. However, eagle-eyed online sleuths, particularly on…

A long life is not necessary for holiness, as Saint Teresa of Los Andes proves. Not quite 20 years old when she died, she left a legacy rich in virtue—rich enough for her to be considered a saint.

Eternal Father,
I desire to rest in Thy Heart this night.
I make the intention of offering to Thee
every beat of my heart,
joining to them as many acts of love and desire.
I pray that even while I am asleep,
I will bring back to Thee souls that offend Thee.
I ask forgiveness for the whole world,
especially for those who know Thee and yet sin.
I offer to Thee my every breath and heartbeat
as a prayer of reparation.
Amen.
Read MoreEver feel like you need to know if there is something more to this puny existence that we have? If you do, you won’t be the first, nor will you be the last. The hope and desire that there is meaning in the madness a hidden depth that not everybody can see is a compelling idea that countless individuals have dedicated lifetimes to.
Some may argue that the existence of memes is a loud and proud refutation of this, embracing a pointless nihilism of endless tiny tidbits of entertainment. Here at Memebase, though, we would like to think a little differently. Perhaps the act of looking at memes isn’t just simple procrastination, but rather a temporary ascension to a more spiritual plane of amusement through which the internet is a portal. That being said, you don’t have to believe in it to scroll on and enjoy this selection of memes.
Some people would call Blessed Daniel Brottier “lucky.” But in the eyes of faith, God’s providence and desire for Blessed Daniel to do great things in his kingdom is what protected him in some very dangerous situations. Blessed Daniel cooperated with that providence and became an example to all.

I hate when I’m looking at my phone and laughing, and someone asks me, “What are you laughing at?” 9/10 times, I’m laughing at something that they do not care about or a joke they wouldn’t get. In that moment, I’m given three unappealing options. I could explain the joke, tell them, “Oh, it’s nothing,” or lie and say it’s some random meme. The majority of the time, I will pick #2 and try to salvage the conversation from there, but sometimes I boldly show them the tweet, meme, or text message in question.
These are the kinds of memes you wouldn’t feel embarrassed to show to an acquaintance after laughing at them a little too loudly in public. Memes of this quality don’t come around every day, so it might be imperative to intentionally scroll through them in a public place and laugh out loud to your heart’s desire.
Under thy patronage, dear Mother, and calling on the mystery of thine Immaculate Conception, I desire to pursue my studies and my literary labors: I hereby solemnly declare that I am giving myself to these studies chiefly to the following end: that I may the better contribute to the glory of God and to the promotion of thy veneration among men.

My soul, the happy hour is arrived;

Come, O my Jesus,

I desire to give Thee my miserable heart;
accept it,
come and take full possession of it.
Come, my God, make haste;
do not delay.
I would wish to …
Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne, a Sister of the Society of the Sacred Heart and French by birth, was an early missionary to the United States.
Read MoreObviously, an important part of being a parent is loving your kids, but how do people manage to find so many ways of doing this that are blatantly not normal? This is never clearer than with the ‘boy mom’ phenomenon, in which women construct whole identities and truly weird relationship dynamics around the fact that they have a son.
Social media has only intensified their desire to prove Sigmund Freud right, as shown in a disturbing TikTok slideshow one mom posted about her relationship with her son. Claiming that she was “born to be your lover” but “forced to be your mother”, it doesn’t take a genius to hear alarm bells ringing. To nobody’s surprise, the wider internet was not impressed in the slightest with this misguided public display of affection. The therapy bills for this kind of treatment are going to wind up being astronomical, that is for sure.
Saint Wolfgang served many years as a teacher before becoming a Benedictine monk. He was named the bishop of Regensburg by the emperor and served reluctantly but well until his death in 994.

The sincerest expression of love is the desire to know everything about the subject of that love. I love nature. This is why, as a scientist, I wish to obtain as much experimental data as possible about nature. There are an infinite number of virtual realities, some of which are flattering to our ego. But merely expressing them without knowing whether they apply to reality, is like imagining a possible love story with an idealized fictional character, akin to “Prince Charming” or “Princess Charming.” This was my message to an audience of fifty spiritual leaders who were hosted by the…

The life of a hermit living in the desert strikes many people as mysterious, if not inexplicable. Yet this is what Saint Hilarion, and many others, sought and hoped for and, in some cases, fought for. They teach the value of solitude and prayer to our noisy and busy world.

O Saint Teresa, seraphic Virgin, beloved spouse of thy crucified Lord, thou who on earth didst burn with a love so intense toward thy God and my God, and now dost glow with a brighter and purer flame in paradise: obtain for me also, I beseech thee, a spark of that same holy fire which shall cause me to forget the world, all things created, and even myself; for thou didst ever avidly desire to see Him loved by all men. Grant that my every thought and desire and affection may be continually …

My soul,
dilate thy heart;
thy Jesus can give thee every good gift;
He loves thee ardently.
Hope, then,
for great favours from this Lord,
Who, through an impulse of love,
comes to thee all love.
Yes, my Jesus, my hope,
I trust in Thy goodness,
that in giving Thyself to me this morning,
Thou wilt kindle in my poor soul
the flames of Thy pure love,
and of an ardent desire to please Thee,
that, from this day forward,
I may wish only what Thou wishest.
Amen.
