General: SATURDAY-A DAY WHICH CATHOLICS HONOR MARY ESPECIALLY DONALD TRUMP FATIMA JULY 13

During President Donald Trump’s tenure, a statue of Our Lady of Fatima was placed in the White House. The statue was a gift from Fr. Andrew Mahana, a Maronite priest, who also exorcised the White House on January 20, 2017 (inauguration night), according to an article by uCatholic.1 A friend of mine who worked for President Trump said that they referred to the west wing of the White House as the “West Wing Chapel” due to the Marian statue and other religious items.
On May 13, 1981, Pope St. John Paul II survived an assassination attempt. That day was the feast of Our Lady of Fatima, and Pope St. John Paul II himself credited his survival to Our Lady of Fatima. The pope said, “The gunman fired the gun, but Mary guided the bullet;”2 another source stated the pope’s words as, “One hand shot, and other guided the bullet.”3 Exactly one year after being shot, the pope visited the apparition site of Fatima. He placed the bullet in Mary’s crown, saying, “You saved me, you saved me.”
Our Lady of Fatima appeared to three children, St. Jacinta, St. Francisco, and Ven. Sister Lucia, on the 13th of every month from May to October of 1917 in Fatima, Portugal—each time asking for prayer and penance.
Most significantly, however, on July 13, 1917, Our Lady of Fatima revealed the three secrets, including the vision of hell to the children—a most important apparition.
On Saturday, July 13, 2024, President Trump survived an assassination attempt in Butler, PA. This was the 107th anniversary of Our Lady’s appearance at Fatima.
This last July 13th fell on a Saturday—a day which Catholics honor Mary especially.
July 13th is also the feast day of Rosa Mystica, one of Mary’s titles and a recently approved Marian apparition.
Furthermore, one mile away from the grounds on which Trump’s rally was held sits a Catholic Church with a grotto to Our Lady of Fatima—a grotto that we think was facing President Trump at the time.
I believe Our Lady of Fatima saved President Donald Trump’s life. She guided the bullets away from him just as she did for Pope St. John Paul II.
Our Lady is God’s instrument. She plays a special intercessory role to Our Lord, and it was her intercession that helped spare President Trump’s life. Certainly, the prayers of Fr. Jason Charron, a Ukrainian Catholic pastor who gave the benediction before the rally, called down heavenly protection.
Interestingly, President Trump was shot at 6:11 pm EST, which, as someone pointed out to me, could refer to Ephesians 6:11: “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
President Trump later credited God for saving his life after the attack: “It was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening.” Indeed, God’s armor was surrounding President Trump, especially that of His Mother.
Throughout Salvation History, we have heard stories of the Blessed Mother protecting souls. Souls have survived shipwrecks, fires, wars, and more because of their devotion to Mary. For instance, at the only approved Marian apparition site in the United States, at Our Lady of Champion in Wisconsin, there was one of the deadliest fires in U.S. history. Despite the damage of the fire, it never touched the six acres of land where Mary had appeared twelve years earlier. The visionary, Sr. Adele, and many families prayed the Rosary the entire night of the fire and carried a statue of Mary in procession during their prayer.4
My own grandfather, Albert Vidmar, a member of the 100th infantry, prayed to Our Lady that he would return safely from World War II. Shortly after his prayer, he was hit in his back with shrapnel but survived. He credits Our Lady for getting him home safely. He prayed his Rosary faithfully for the rest of his life.
Even one “Hail Mary” and one look of love at a statue of Our Lady has saved many in the past and can save many today. Our Lady, by virtue of Her Son, promises to shield souls from the greatest of attacks, especially spiritual ones.
On that sunny Saturday evening in Pennsylvania, Our Lady was protecting President Trump and many other souls who could have been killed.
Mary is the Mother of all people, Catholics and non-Catholics. Perhaps someday President Trump will visit the Shrine Our Lady of Fatima with bullets in hand. Perhaps his brush with death will guide him to an even greater conversion and, God willing, someday lead him to the Catholic Church.
For those who hate President Trump, may their hearts be softened by realizing that human life transcends political parties. Every life matters, especially the most vulnerable in the womb. We are all made in the image and likeness of God. This life is passing, and one day there will be no more wars, violence, or political parties. God will be all in all; Jesus Christ will be our King forever should we seek Him now, or Satan will be our slave master forever should we reject the King of Kings.
Let us pray for President Trump’s full recovery and for the bystander who was killed in this senseless tragedy. Let us also pray for God’s mercy to be upon the soul of the perpetrator.
Our Lady of Fatima, intercede for our nation, which is becoming more and more divided. May you help bring an end to abortion and convert the hearts of all sinners. Heal President Trump. Bring all people back to your Son. Restore our great nation so that “In God We Trust.” We ask this through the precious blood of your Son, Jesus, whom this month of July is dedicated to. Amen.
Author’s Note: Mary’s powerful intercession is one of the reasons I wrote a children’s book called, Our Lady of Sorrows: Devotion to Mary’s Seven Sorrows, published by Sophia Institute Press with a foreword and four original prayers for children by exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger. One of the promises of Our Lady to St. Bridget of Sweden for those who pray seven Hail Mary’s in honor of her Sorrows is as follows: “I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy, and I will protect them at every instant of their lives.”

10 On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, 11 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: Ask the priests about the law: 12 ‘If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment and touches with his fold bread or stew or wine or oil or any kind of food, does it become holy?’” The priests answered and said, “No.” 13 Then Haggai said, “If someone who is unclean by contact with a dead body touches any of these, does it become unclean?” The priests answered and said, “It does become unclean.” 14 Then Haggai answered and said, “So is it with this people, and with this nation before me, declares the Lord, and so with every work of their hands. And what they offer there is unclean. 15 Now then, consider from this day onward. Before stone was placed upon stone in the temple of the Lord, 16 how did you fare? When one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were but twenty. 17 I struck you and all the products of your toil with blight and with mildew and with hail, yet you did not turn to me, declares the Lord. 18 Consider from this day onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month. Since the day that the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid, consider: 19 Is the seed yet in the barn? Indeed, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have yielded nothing. But from this day on I will bless you.”

Huge crowds gather in 'Hands Off' rallies nationwide in protest of Trump administration
Elected officials in Washington joined the protests.
Tens of thousands of protesters mustered in cities and towns across the country on Saturday to sound off against the Trump administration's cuts to the federal government and its policies.
Carrying homemade posters and chanting "Hands Off," the protesters came out to the more than 1,200 rallies nationwide despite rain in many cities, according to organizers.
Several Democratic heavyweights, including some members of Congress, joined the protests and urged the public not to stand for what they called the administration's mismanagement and breaking with constitutional norms.

"Our founders wrote a Constitution that did not begin with 'We the dictators,'" Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., told the crowd gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., where organizers said over 100,000 people gathered.
He slammed the administration for several of its policies, including President Donald Trump's implementing of tariffs on nearly every country.

"Their tariffs are not only imbecilic -- they're illegal, they're unconstitutional, and we're going to turn this around," he said.
Stan and Cindy Prusik, who attended the D.C. rally, told ABC News they are worried about the future of their children and grandchildren along with the economy.
"I don't sleep well. I'm scared," Cindy Prusik said. "We've got money we've saved all of our lives, our retirement -- it's not going to be there. I'm afraid of what is going to happen with the world, let alone the American markets. I'm upset we've made enemies out of countries that were formerly our friends. It's just all so uncertain."
"We have daughters -- we have to protect our daughters and our grandkids," Stan Prusik added.

Paul Osadebe, a lawyer for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, spoke during the rally in Washington and said he's been asked by the Trump administration and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency to take a buyout offer.
Osadebe, a union steward with AFGE Local 476, told the crowd the oligarchs do not "value you or your life or your community."
"We're seeing that they don't care who they have to destroy or who they have to hurt to get what they want," he said.

Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., echoed his statement with a warning that it will get worse.
"They would have us believe if we gave them all of control, everything would be OK," he said. "But breaking news, they have the control, and look at where we are now: massive inequality across the country."

"The federal administration thinks this country belongs to them -- and that they're above the law," organizers of the Boston rally said. "They're taking everything they can get their hands on -- our rights, our health care, our data, our jobs, our services -- and daring the world to stop them."

There were no reports of any major disturbances or arrests at any of the rallies.
The White House did not have any immediate comment about the events.

New Year's Prophecy
Intertemporal Perspective via 2016 Tower & Star Rituals
By Goro Adachi
December 30, 2016

Century II - 41 The great star will burn for seven days, The cloud will make two suns appear: The large mastiff will howl all night When the great pontiff changed territory.
- Nostradamus
Not all New Year's Days are created equal and this one coming up happens to be a special one. The previous one was special as well, both being attached to the year 2016, the point of no return. And if the pattern holds, we are in for a whole new set of inter-temporal "clues" which, if decoded properly, should be quite prophetic in nature. Decoding these things happens to be my specialty, or obsession...
It's telling that The Economist's annual, end of the year crystal ball edition features a cover with tarot cards. Obviously they were inspired by the irresistible combination of "Trump" (cards) and the idea of divination (predicting the future). Not too surprising there. (What is surprising though is how most people trying to "decode" it can't even crack the first step: The only two tilted cards, "Judgment" and "The Star", are card #20 and card #17 per tradition, spelling out "20-17" or "2017".)
The Economist is actually a bit late to the party as there was a whole lot of foreshadowing going on last year through the tarot symbolism on New Year's Eve/Day (2015/2016). It came in the form of Dubai's tower inferno evoking the Tower card numbered 16 (as in 20 16)...
...in effect foreshadowing the earthshaking rise of "Trump" who famously lives in Trump Tower (= Tower trump card).
Extending the pattern forward in time would have the new year 2017 correspond to tarot card #17 - " The Star".
It would most certainly be Sirius on New Year's Eve/Day as a magical celestial moment arrives every year when the brightest star in the night sky "culminates" due south reaching its highest point right around midnight on New Year's Eve/Day.
But as I said, it's extra special around 2016. I'm quite aware of this, and it seems so was Nostradamus. Let me introduce you to quatrain II-41, or as I like to call it the "Sirius quatrain":
Century II - 41 La grand' estoille par sept jours bruslera, Nuee fera deux soleils apparoir: Le gros mastin toute nuit hurlera, Quand grand pontife changera de terroir.
The great star will burn for seven days, The cloud will make two suns appear: The large mastiff will howl all night When the great pontiff changed territory.
- Nostradamus
Right now it is highly relevant and timely as shown below:
Line 1: The great star will burn for seven days
Being the brightest star in the night sky, Sirius certainly qualifies as a "great star". It "burns" in the sense that the name "Sirius" means "scorcher" plus the phrase "Dog Days of summer" derives from Sirius's nickname "Dog Star". Even the "seven days" (sept jours) part relates to Sirius in that ancient Egyptians called the star Spd, Spdt, or Sept, resonating with the French sept meaning "seven. ("Seven days" can also allude to the 7-day festival Saturnalia, Dec 17-23.)
Line 2: The cloud will make two suns appear
In esoteric tradition Sirius has been considered the "second sun".
Line 3: The large mastiff will howl all night
Sirius is the "Dog Star" ("mastiff") and it "howls all night" on New Year's Eve/Day by being visible all night long. (Culminating around midnight implies being visible from dusk to dawn.)
Line 4: When the great pontiff changed territory
The last time there was a change in the papacy was back in 2013 when Pope Benedict XVI stepped down and Pope Francis took over. Unbeknownst to most, it managed to multicontextually encode an arrow pointing ahead to the year 2016:
- Pope Benedict XVI is "16" (XVI), numerically resonating with 2016 and the Tower card (XVI)

- Pope Francis's first foreign trip ("changing territory") as head of the Catholic Church was to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in July 2013, where the Summer Olympics would take place in 2016
In the context of the "Sirius quatrain" II-41, it makes a lot of sense for Rio to be highlighted in this manner. It has to do with the real, hidden reason behind the name "Rio de Janeiro" or " River of January" which I'm revealing here for the first time anywhere (aside from STRUG/members section which is always ahead)... Firstly, the term " January" (Janeiro) derives from Janus the god of beginnings, endings, time, and doorways. Basically a perfect set of descriptions for New Year's Eve/Day (= beginning of January).
And it just so happens it's right around New Year's Day, when Sirius "howls all night", that Rio and the Sun are aligned in terms of latitude & declination. In other words, the Sun is directly overhead at noon in Rio right around New Year's Day. Rio in this way indeed is a "city of Janus/January"!

As above, so below... Sirius is the " New Year's star" above, Rio de Janeiro is the " New Year's city" below. Having established this and 2016 being the year of the Rio Olympics, we can then quite easily infer that the beginning and ending of 2016 are of special, "ritualistic" significance. We already saw this in action at the beginning of 2016 (Dubai tower fire), and we are now about to witness something at the end of 2016. The straightforward expectation would be that it would reflect " The Star" card - #17 representing "2017" - just as the Dubai tower inferno was a simulation of the "Tower" tarot card, #16. This would mean it would likely involve Sirius on New Year's Eve/Day. (I may actually already know the ritual taking place, but I'll save it for another article, perhaps early next year.) There is another approach here to discerning the nature of the end of 2016 "ritual(s)". It has to do with the fact that Rio and the Sun are also aligned on ~December 10th (equidistant from the solstice).
That "preview" window precisely coincided with a major geopolitical flareup stemming from the apparent Russian cyber attacks against the US during the 2016 presidential election.

It's an ongoing situation, happening in real time as I write this and it wouldn't be surprising if we hear more about the US retaliation against Russia around the New Year's Eve/Day weekend, such as actual US cyber attacks against Russia.
(I've consistently pointed to the significance of the Russian cyberwar situation since the very beginning. See: Jul 26 tweet, Jul 27 tweet, Jul 30 tweet, Aug 30 update. Here we are, it's like the Cold War has returned.) Saturnalia (Dec 17-23) was another important window we were watching very closely... (Saturnalia starts on Pope Francis's birthday, by the way.) My tweet from Nov 24:
And it was intense indeed...
Notable as it connects right back to the 2015-2016 New Year's Eve/Day "ritual". The name "Dubai" means "market". And the fire there took place right next to the Dubai's spectacular New Year's fireworks.
Makes us wonder if these constitute an omen foreshadowing a major market/financial event coming in the New Year.
I'm going to end this article here, but really we've just scratched the surface. Just the tip of the iceberg for what's unfolding... because 2016 was a tipping point, the point of no return. We didn't even touch on the earth changes and the sixth mass extinction already being discussed on STRUG...

LAS SATURNALIA Y LA NAVIDAD
El décimo mes del calendario romano era, en cuanto a festividades, el más espectacular y animado de todo el año. En este mes se conmemoraba la idílica edad de oro en la que Saturno reinaba sobre el resto de divinidades. También era el mes en el que se producía el solsticio de invierno, fecha señalada como el nacimiento de los dioses solares. Desde las Kalendas (día 1) hasta los Idus (día 13) sólo cabe destacar las segundas Faunales (el día 5) en conmemoración al dios Fauno y el Agonal, ritual que consistía en sacrificar un carnero al dios Sol (el día 11) Ese mismo día se celebraba sólo en la Urbe el Septimontio, las siete colinas, una festividad menor de los poblados latinos que formaron la arcaica Roma.

El día 15 se celebraba las segundas Ludii Consuales, en honor al dios de los silos, Conso. El rito principal consistía en celebrar carreras de mulos, similares al «Tiro y Arrastre» que aún se practica en algunas localidades rurales de la Comunidad Valenciana.
El gran momento del mes, diría que hasta del año, llegaba el día 17. Era el día en el que comenzaban las Saturnalia, las grandes fiestas en honor a Saturno. Fue una festividad tan apreciada por la civilización romana que, ante la imposibilidad de concentrar tanta actividad en un solo día, se tuvieron que prolongar los festejos hasta el día 23. Muy probablemente, las Saturnalia tengan su origen en el fin de las labores agrícolas, cuando los campos se preparan para el invierno y las tareas de campesinos y esclavos se ralentizan. Recordemos que la sociedad de la antigua Roma era eminentemente agraria. Como serían de importantes estas festividades para que las escuelas cerrasen, algunas conductas frívolas femeninas y masculinas estuviesen bien vistas, se pudiese jugar a los dados en público, se invirtiesen los papeles entre amos y esclavos, corriese el vino a raudales y todos los miembros de la familia recibiesen un regalo, fuera cual fuese su condición. Además, todos los esclavos recibían de sus amos una generosa paga extra en moneda o vino (excepto los pobres desgraciados que tuvieron el infortunio de servir al roñoso de Marco Porcio Catón).
Desde el día 17 al 23 se sucedían los banquetes y las procesiones desenfrenadas (que fueron el embrión para los futuros carnavales). Los plebeyos y proletarios se erigían en jueces, y los patricios en siervos. Se realizaba la elección del «Rey de las Burlas» y, por fin, después de tantos días de júbilo, llegaba el solsticio de invierno, consagrado a Jano, el dios de los principios, fecha considerada en la antigüedad como la Puerta de los Dioses.

Esta cadena de conmemoraciones concluía el día 25. En Asia se conocía esta fecha como el «Día del Sol Invicto». Fue una festividad menor hasta que el emperador Aureliano, en el año 274, se valió de ella para relanzar el damnificado culto imperial, proclamándose representante de la «luz divina». Curiosamente, Mithra, el dios persa del cielo y la luz que adoptó como suyo medio ejército romano, nació este mismo día… que casualidad… como también lo hizo el príncipe Shirdarta (más conocido para nosotros como Buda) y también el dios Dionisos. ¿A qué se debe esta «casualidad»? Como casi todo, tiene una explicación: en el año 325 tuvo lugar el Concilio de Nicea (hoy Iznik, Turquía), la primera reunión eclesiástica cristiana posterior a la gran persecución de Diocleciano convocada por el emperador Constantino para ordenar las corrientes religiosas que convulsionaban la nueva fe recién tolerada. Fue en este concilio donde los obispos allí congregados decidieron colocar el impreciso nacimiento de Jesús en esta fecha del 25 de Diciembre, despachándose de paso con este movimiento al molesto Mithra y a la encarnación imperial de la «Luz Divina»
En mi opinión, y que no se me ofendan los más devotos cristianos creyentes a pies juntillas en los textos sagrados, es muy difícil de entender que hace dos mil años un señor cincuentón con su joven mujer embarazada de casi nueve meses se atreviese a cruzar sólo y en burro las peligrosas estepas de Samaria, y más en invierno. Además, el edicto de empadronamiento imperial tendría lugar, como otros que conocemos de la jurisprudencia romana, a principios de primavera, por lo que es más lógico pensar que el hijo de María y José naciese después de su difusión en Judea, entre Marzo y Abril. Ahora, que cada uno que crea en lo que quiera, que para eso está la libertad de credo.
El día 26 se celebraba una festividad de origen heleno, el Háloa. Estaba dedicada la fertilidad, representada por Ceres, y sólo participaban en ella mujeres, las cuales se desinhibían en una pícara procesión ostentando símbolos fálicos y actitudes lésbicas.
El día 31 era la víspera de las Strenas. Hogueras enormes y bullicio callejero acompasaban la última noche del año… Ya veremos en Januarius en que consistían aquellas curiosas festividades en honor a la diosa Strenia.

A still recovering Pope Francis makes surprise visit to basilica Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome
By Euronews
Published on 12/04/2025 - 20:09 GMT+2•Updated 20:13
On Saturday afternoon Pope Francis went to the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore to pray.
In another surprise visit by Pope Francis early Saturday afternoon, Vatican sources confirmed that the Pontiff visited the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome and stopped to pray before the icon of the Virgin, Salus Populi Romani, on the eve of Palm Sunday and Holy Week.
The Pope's previous surprise events
On Thursday, Pope Francis visited St. Peter's Basilica to check the progress of the restoration of two funerary monuments, those of Popes Paul III and Urban VIII, whose works will be presented on Sunday.
Before moving on to the tomb of Pius X, where he gathered in prayer, the pope, who was wearing trousers and a poncho instead of his usual white suit, met two restorers who were on site to carry out the final touches. He had them called by the Vatican gendarmerie and thanked them in person.
The Pope is still recovering after a long stay at the Gemelli polyclinic with double pneumonia. Nonetheless, he met the British royals on Wednesday during an unscheduled interview as they visited Rome. Last Sunday, he appeared in St. Peter's Square at the end of the mass for the Jubilee of the sick and healthcare workers.
