In the Footsteps of St. Maria Goretti: Part I, The Encounter -- Paliano and Colle Gianturco
St. Maria Goretti is one of the most beloved virgin martyrs in the Catholic Church. Martyred at the age of twelve, she forgave her killer, Alessandro Serenelli.
In this second of a series of videos retracing the life of St. Maria Goretti, Bret Thoman explores Paliano and Colle Gianturco, where Maria met the man who would be her assassin, Alessandro Serenelli.
Due to poverty, the Goretti family was forced to migrate to the Roman countryside when Maria was just six years old. Her father took them to a farm near Paliano, a noble city during the Renaissance era.
In this video, you will visit the city of Paliano, the farm known as Colle Gianturco, where Maria and her family lived in colonies in a series of farmhouses now ruined, and the Church of Pugliano, where the church went to Mass.

Along the Jesus Trail in the Holy Land's Galilee Region
มุมมอง 2364 ปีที่แล้ว
St. Jerome (347-420 AD) said, “Five gospels record the life of Jesus; four you will find in books and the one you will find in the Holy Land they: read the fifth gospel and the world of the four will open to you." One of the best ways to understand Jesus and the Gospels is by visiting the Holy Land. And an even better way is to do it on foot. The Jesus Trail is a 65-km (40-mi) hiking trail in t...

Discovering the Lost Arab Village of Hittin
มุมมอง 1264 ปีที่แล้ว

In 1948, the Palestinians of the village of Hittin, in the Galilee region not far from Nazareth, fled and the town was later razed. Only the minaret and the mosque compound remains. According to tradition, it was built by Saladin after the decisive victory over the Crusaders in 1187 in the nearby Horns of Hattin.

    [Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah . He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakah as long as I remain alive And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant. And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive." That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute. It is not [befitting] for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is. [Jesus said], "And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path." Then the factions differed [concerning Jesus] from among them, so woe to those who disbelieved - from the scene of a tremendous Day. How [clearly] they will hear and see the Day they come to Us, but the wrongdoers today are in clear error. And warn them, [O Muhammad], of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded; and [yet], they are in [a state of] heedlessness, and they do not believe. Indeed, it is We who will inherit the earth and whoever is on it, and to Us they will be returned. Great Quran

    The Holy House went to Croatia first. After being in Croatia for three years, The Holy House was moved to Italy. The reason Mother Mary wanted Her House moved was because She was concerned the Muslims were going to destroy Her House.

    I think the modern explanation makes more sense. I don’t like to be a modernist or anything but I feel like the other explanation actually obscures miracles that are proven like Eucharistic miracles and the cloak of Guadalupe. I’m interested in what you all think.

      Actually, the word "graffiti" originated in Italy, with etymological roots in Greek and Latin. It means, simply, writings. It was originally an archaeological word, associated with ancient writings, or as you refer to as "inscriptions." Only in contemporary times did the word become associated with inner city vandalism. In any case, I can assure you that Jesus did not scribble them into the walls. They're mostly from the 2nd and 3rd centuries, and some later.
