Martyrdom of St. Arcadius

St. Arcadius was a native of Africa, and most probably suffered Martyrdom in Caesarea. A furious persecution was raging -- during which the Christians were cruelly dragged before the idols to sacrifice. Arcadius withdrew to a solitary place, where he employed his time in fasting and prayer. Soldiers were despatched to surprise him in his house, but not finding him, they arrested one of his relatives in order to make him discover the retreat of his kinsman.

Arcadius was unwilling that another should suffer on his account, and presented himself to the governor, saying that his relative might be discharged, as he had come to answer for himself. The governor replied that he also might depart unhurt if he would sacrifice to the gods. The Saint courageously answered: "Thou art deceived if thou believest that threats of death can affright the servants of God. They say with St. Paul: To me to live is Christ, and to die is gain (Philipp i. 21). Invent therefore, what tortures thou canst, we shall never be separated from our God."

Hereupon the tyrant, full of wrath, and thinking the usual tortures too light for Arcadius, ordered that joint after joint should be chopped off the Saint's body, beginning with his toes. The barbarous butchery was instantly executed, during which the holy Martyr ceased not to bless the Lord. After his body had been reduced to a mere trunk, calmly surveying his mangled limbs scattered around him, he exclaimed: "Oh, happy members that have served to manifest the glory of God! Now that I behold you separated from my body, you are dearer to me than ever. I now know that I belong to Jesus Christ, as I have always desired."

Then turning, he said: "Know ye that all these sufferings are easily overcome by those who continually keep before their eyes eternal life which God bestows upon His servants. Adore the true God, Who consoles me in these tortures; and abandon the worship of your false gods who cannot assist you in your need. He who dies for the true God acquires life everlasting. Behold, for having suffered these torments, I go to live with Him eternally, without fear of ever losing Him."

This Martyrdom filled the idolaters with confusion, and inspired the Christians with a great desire of laying down their lives for Jesus Christ. They afterwards collected the scattered limbs of the Martyr and gave them honourable burial.

St. Alphonsus Liguori

Let us never forget that no matter how grim the circumstances of this dark age, the triumph of evil can only ever be transitory. All disorders must be part of the greater order, and thus the light will inevitably emerge victorious. The divine cannot be conquered, and Christ will reign from his throne forever. Black pills are the mark of traitors and those weak in faith.

I’ve watched a number of this guy’s videos and I can assure you he is an uber-faggot who counter-signals traditionalists and is infatuated with Star Wars lore. He’s even worse than Taylor Marshall, who wrote an entire book condemning antisemitism.

Proper modesty ^

Question: Do you pray the rosary daily?

Fr. Casey: No. In fact, I never pray the rosary.

Nobody is surprised.

Today's Daily Decade is a bit of a departure inspired by a listener inquiry about the morality surrounding picking sides in current events, particularly in economics.

God love you!

Oh divine Mother, Queen of Heaven,
sovereign queen of Angels, send the Holy Angels and Archangels to defend me and to keep the cruel enemy far from me. Holy Angels and Archangels defend us, protect us. Amen.

For Catholics who may be unaware:

If a certain group collectively does evil and hates you, your people, race, nation, etc and want to destroy everything you love. Then you can hate on a group basis based on averages and what they collectively do, as said. However, Individual and personal hatred which you convey to another, who is not a God-hater and abomination, is condemned.

Read St. Bernard and St. John Chrysostom.
Become historically literate.

I also recommend reading these:

Deut 18:9-12, 22:5, 23:17-18, 25:16, Corinthians 6:9-11, Ecclesiastes 3:8, 2 Thes 2:9-12, Lev 26:43-44, 11 and 30, Romans 1:24-32, Psalm 139:21-22, John 8:44, Psalm 11:5, 53:5, 5:5-6, Prov 3:32, 6:16-19, 106:40, 11:20.

Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.

- St. Teresa of Avila

"The road to Hell is paved with the bones of priests and monks, and the skulls of the bishops are the lampposts that illuminate the path."

- St. John Chrysostom

Can’t stress how great and helpful this book has been enough, please buy it if you can, or look for a PDF version. You’ll thank me later.
