Dominic Auricchio says he first felt called to the priesthood at age 4, after a dream in which he says God spoke to him. Five years later, doctors discovered a mass in his brain. In 2023, Dominic says he had a vision of a woman he believes was the Virgin Mary, who told him everything would be OK. A subsequent scan showed the mass had begun to shrink, and surgery was no longer considered necessary. His mother believes God healed him. Medication may have contributed to the improvement. Now 13, Dominic remains active in his Catholic parish and says he hopes to join the Marines before pursuing the priesthood.

Pope Leo XIV is willing to speak with Trump - but Trump has to make the call. In a July 3 interview with Piers Morgan, Louis Prevost, the pope’s older brother and an outspoken Trump supporter, said he had asked Leo XIV whether he’d speak to President Trump. Leo XIV replied: “Sure, if you want, but he has to call me.” Prevost explained: “That’s a Vatican rule. You have to request from the Pope. The Pope doesn’t go.”

Archbishop Aldo Cavalli, 79, a former Apostolic Nuncio and the Apostolic Visitor for the parish of Medjugorje, administered Confirmation to two young Irish Travellers in the Adoration Chapel in Medjugorje, reports David Murgia on IlSegnoDiGiona.

@Boanerges Boanerges You probably have never been in Medjugorje. The chapel is very recognizable as the "adoration chapel"; no doubt at all. The photo is authentic. If not, the parish of Medjugorje would have protested on their website and the publisher of the photo's would face a trial in court. MEDJUGORJE, ABITI PROVOCANTI DURANTE LE CRESIME? … Mgr. Cavalli is a "believer" of the synodal church and according to this "church" one should adept foreign cultural elements of other groups into the liturgy.... (in spite of the instruction of Vatican II that modesty in clothing is always required in church and this requirement was - until now - always observed in Medjugorje.
A Medjugorje e altrove ci si dovrebbe vergognare del fatto che degli pseudoveggenti, in combutta con una parrocchia e con un vasto indotto, diffondano fasulli messaggi da cosi tanto tempo. Il tutto con la benedizione della neochiesa regnante. Non sorprendono queste volgari immagini, sono perfettamente in linea con le esigenze del todos todos todos

Saint Donatien - 6 septembre Et ses compagnons, martyrs à Carthage (+ 484) En Afrique du Nord, le roi Vandale arien Hunéric persécute les chrétiens qui restent attachés à la foi romaine du concile de Nicée. Il fait arrêter les évêques les plus influents dont Donatien, Praesidius (Préside), Mansuetis (Mansuet), Germain, Fusculus (Fuscule) et Laetus (Létus). Il les envoie en exil, après leur avoir infligé cent cinquante coups de bâton qui les brisent. En une seule année, environ cinq mille chrétiens seront eux aussi exilés hors d'Afrique. En 484, Hunéric, fils de Geisérich, porta un nouvel édit de persécution dont Victor, évêque de Vite dans la Byzacène, nous a raconté les effets. Ce Victor était probablement d'origine africaine (Historia persecutionis africance a S. Viclore patrice Vitensis episcopo, lit-on dans un manuscrit), et il écrivit le récit des persécutions dont il fut tout ensemble le témoin et la victime. Son ouvrage paraît dater de l'année 486.

Today, Leo XIV joked with children at the Vatican’s annual Family Day for employees and their families. “How much is six-seven?” he asked, while making the hand gesture from the viral “6-7” meme. He then answered 13 - turning the deliberately meaningless meme into 6+7. Teenagers followed with another slang: “Papa, can you say ‘aura’?” Leo looked puzzled and repeated: “Aura?” - prompting more laughter. Online, “aura” refers to someone’s coolness, charisma or presence. Young people jokingly give or take away “aura points” depending on what someone does.

Today, Pope Leo XIV received Archbishop Georg Gänswein, 70, in an audience, amid renewed speculation that Benedict XVI’s longtime secretary could soon be appointed Apostolic Nuncio to France. It was Gänswein’s third meeting with Leo XIV: the first came during the Pope’s gathering with apostolic nuncios in June 2025, followed by a private audience on December 12, 2025. Monsignor Gänswein serves as Apostolic Nuncio to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Pope Francis appointed him to the diplomatic post in June 2024, ending roughly a year in Freiburg without an official assignment following the death of Benedict XVI. In recent months, Vatican observers have speculated that Gänswein could be transferred to the Apostolic Nunciature in Paris. Asked about the possibility at a public appearance in Ravensburg in July, Gänswein declined to confirm the speculation. #newsYgnllwgzqu
