When I was 17 and carefree…….

Israel Update: 
~Iran: Trump said they are very close to a deal. Axios published what they believe are the terms: no enrichment for 12–15 years, surrendering enriched uranium, and the US gradually lifting some sanctions. And yes, the Straits would remain open.

Then, on another channel (Fox), Trump says they “have one week or else”.  Meanwhile, the Iranians are saying the US is basically “dreaming up a wish list” and that it is nonsense. Then the Speaker of Parliament, who was supposed to be a “moderate,” mocked the US with a post: “Operation Trust Me Bro failed. Now back to routine with Operation Fauxios.”

This is why I stopped reporting for a while. Trump keeps going in circles: “The deal is near” in the morning, then “If they won’t sign, we will destroy them badly” in the evening. Meanwhile, the terms of the deal seem to be less than what we wanted.

There are various schools of thought in Israel about this constant back and forth. We hate it.  

However, one of my better sources in Israel believes Trump may be operating on a different level, using all of this as a form of economic warfare against Europe and China.

I still think the Divine is driving the Iranian regime toward suicide, but that is just my opinion.

~Lebanon: The IDF struck Beirut (for the first time in a while) and assassinated the leader of Hezbollah’s Radwan Force. This is Hezbollah’s leading force. He was reportedly meeting with other military leaders, though we do not yet know who. This strike was coordinated with the US, meaning approved. Sorry on my attitude here but yes, we also do not like needing approvals.  I am reporting from the Israeli point of view, and some may not like that here. But most would likely want to know what we think.

~Another “successful” drone attack on our forces in South Lebanon left one of our warriors badly wounded.

~Gaza: The son of Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya was killed in a drone strike. He was not the target, but he was meeting with someone involved in 10/7 who was the intended target.

One day there will likely be a major movie about this. Israel’s internal security organization, the Shabak, has formed a special large-scale unit called NILI (an abbreviation for “The Eternal One of Israel will not lie,” from Samuel 15:29). Its mission is to identify and eliminate everyone involved in 10/7, particularly those who invaded Israel. They work closely with the IDF.

I hear about successful operations every week, and there must be thousands of targets. I would estimate that many hundreds are already gone. These individuals will be hunted relentlessly—Israel has a long memory when it comes to such matters. We receive frequent reports on who was eliminated and what they did. Just yesterday, there was a commander involved in the Nova Festival massacre, and a few days earlier, another individual who had held one of our hostages. The list continues.

May God bless Israel and the USA, and grant our leaders Divine wisdom to succeed.

Easter: May 7
Thursday of the Fifth Week of Easter

Today the Roman Martyrology commemorates the feast of recently-canonized Italian educator Saint Rosa Venerini (1656-1728), who founded Catholic schools for girls and young women during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. St. Rosa (also known as St. Rose) was declared a saint in 2006 by Pope Benedict XVI, who spoke in his canonization homily of her courageous work for “the spiritual elevation and authentic emancipation of the young women of her time.”

Her Spirituality

During her entire life, Rosa moved in the ocean of the Will of God. She said, “I feel so nailed to the Will of God that nothing else matters, neither death nor life. I want what He wants; I want to serve Him as much as pleases Him and no more.”

After her first contacts with the Dominican Fathers at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Oak Tree, near Viterbo, she definitely followed the austere and balanced spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola under the direction of the Jesuits, especially Father Ignatius Martinelli.

The crises of adolescence, the perplexity of youth, the search for a new way, the institution of the schools and the communities, the rapport with the Church and the world-all were oriented to the Divine Will.

Prayer was the breath of her day. Rosa did not impose on herself or her Daughters long vocal prayers, but recommended that the life of the Maestre, in the practice of the precious education ministry, be a continuous speaking with God, of God and for God.

Intimate communion with the Lord was nourished by mental prayer, which the Saint considered “essential nourishment of the soul”. In meditation, Rosa listened to the Teacher who taught along the roads of Palestine and in a particular way from the height of the Cross. With her gaze upon the crucifix, Rosa always felt more strongly her passion for the salvation of souls. For this reason, she celebrated and lived daily the Eucharist in a mystical way. In her imagination, the Saint saw the world as a great circle; she placed herself in the center of it and contemplated Jesus, the immaculate victim, who offered Himself from every part of the world to the Father through the Eucharistic Sacrifice.

She called this means of elevating herself to God “The Greatest Circle”. With incessant prayer, she participated spiritually in all the Masses being celebrated in every part of the world. She united with love the sufferings, hard work and joys of her own life to the sufferings of Jesus Christ, concerned that His Precious Blood would not be shed in vain.
