Quote of the day, 2 March: St. Teresa of Avila
Once I was pondering why our Lord was so fond of this virtue of humility, and this thought came to me — in my opinion not as a result of reflection but suddenly: It is because God is supreme Truth; and to be humble is to walk in truth, for it is a very deep truth that of ourselves we have nothing good but only misery and nothingness.
Whoever does not understand this walks in falsehood. The more anyone understands it, the more he pleases the supreme Truth because he is walking in truth. Please God, Sisters, we will be granted the favor never to leave this path of self-knowledge, amen.
Saint Teresa of Avila
The Interior Castle, VI, ch. 10, no. 7

Since 2018, the Ortega regime has revoked the non-profit status of over 5000 non-governmental, non-profit organizations, including those funded by the Catholic Church. In 2023, Catholic schools and universities were seized, diocesan bank accounts were frozen, and religious congregations were expelled. As of February 2026, more than 300 Catholic priests and religious have been exiled, expelled, or denied re-entry into the country, yet the poor who rely on their assistance remain.
