Global Rosary for Peace 2026
Global Rosary for Peace 2026
Family Rosary
October 2026, 10:00 a.m. Eastern. Pray the Rosary live with over 414,000 people around the world.
Pope Leo XIV asked Catholics to pray the Rosary every day for peace in the world. On 22 October, the Memorial of St. John Paul II, Holy Cross Family Ministries brings ministry centers across 18 countries onto one screen to answer him at the same hour. Pray with us from wherever you are.
WHAT WE PRAY TOGETHER
This year the world prays the Luminous Mysteries, the Mysteries of Light. Five continents, five mysteries, five intentions for peace.
1. The Baptism of the Lord, for peace in the individual heart, led by Latin America
2. The Wedding at Cana, for peace in the family, led by North America and Rome
3. The Proclamation of the Kingdom, for peace in the community, led by Asia
4. The Transfiguration, for peace in the country, led by Europe and the Caribbean
5. The Institution of the Eucharist, for peace in the world, led by Africa
The Rosary opens with the Sign of the Cross and the Apostles' Creed prayed by every country together. Each mystery then carries a short reflection and an intention, followed by the Our Father, ten Hail Marys, the Glory Be and the O My Jesus, and it closes with the Hail Holy Queen. The prayers are led country by country, many of them in their own languages.
Vice President leads prayer after woman collapsed at Nebraska rally
Posted Oct 22, 2026 12:30 PM
North Platte, Neb. (AP) —Vice President JD Vance stopped his speech and led the audience in prayer after a person in the risers behind him appeared to collapse on Thursday.
As emergency workers responded during a rally in North Platte, Neb., Vance asked those “who are of the praying type” to join him in prayer. Vance, a Catholic, crossed himself and recited the Lord’s Prayer as some in the crowd folded their hands and joined him. Vance also asked his staff to send a doctor.
“Always in moments like this, I try to pray as the Lord taught us to pray,” Vance said.
After the prayer, Vance walked into the risers and knelt down as the person was being helped. He later returned to the podium to finish his remarks.

Profit From Prophets
Oct 22, 2026
What happened on October 22, 1844, and why does the Bible say the hour of judgment has come? In this Bible prophecy study, Marko Kolic examines the Investigative Judgment, Daniel 8:14, the 2300-day prophecy, the cleansing of the sanctuary, and the connection between Daniel 8, Daniel 9, and Revelation 14.
This message explains why Seventh-day Adventists believe the Investigative Judgment began in October 1844, how the decree of Artaxerxes in 457 B.C. connects to the 70-week prophecy, and why the Day of Atonement points to Christ’s final ministry in the heavenly sanctuary. It also examines why God reveals timed judgments before they happen and why Revelation 14 declares that “the hour of his judgment is come.

A mutated virus is driving the US into an early flu season, especially on the West Coast

Flu season is picking up months ahead of schedule with a mutated virus spreading in some parts of the United States, surprising some people who might not even be thinking about their annual flu shots yet.
This year, the season started 2 1/2 months earlier than what’s typical and hit states on the West Coast first, which is unusual, said Dr. Alex Greninger, head of the Division of Infectious Disease Diagnostics at the University of Washington’s Department of Laboratory Medicine.
Usually, the US flu season starts in the South – often in Florida, where it arrives from the Southern Hemisphere. Then it tends to spread north as fall and winter progress.
“In Seattle, we’re pretty far north. We see a pretty strong peak in January,” Greninger said, noting that the bulk of their cases typically come in late December through February.
That’s not how it’s playing out this year.
Minnesota Rapper urges Americans to 'raise hell' after France Riots — as radical groups plan DC protests

Political unrest and protest movements in American cities draw new scrutiny. | Next News Editorial Illustration
A Minnesota rapper and activist is urging Americans to follow France's lead and "raise hell" after returning from a visit to a Saint-Denis high school alongside Greta Thunberg, as radical groups in the United States organize protests in the nation's capital modeled on the violent French unrest.
Rafael Gonzalez Jr., who performs under the name Tufawon, traveled to Saint-Denis and demonstrated alongside high-profile figures including Thunberg outside the Lycée Paul Éluard, according to reporting from Fox News Digital. On returning, Gonzalez published statements on social media urging activists to become more radicalized and to take influence from the French, including a call for white Americans to "raise hell."
Fox News Politics reported that the rapper defended "solidarity" with France's radical activists and pushed for protests to come to the United States. The visit and subsequent posts come after riots across France that left more than 2,400 people arrested and 1,000 police officers injured, according to VOZ.
French Unrest Sets Off Alarm Bells in Washington
French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said 1,200 people had been arrested and more than 150 police officers injured during the unrest on Saturday, 17 October, according to IBTimes UK. The scale of the violence has drawn attention from American lawmakers and analysts, who are watching for signs that the tactics could be replicated domestically.
Those fears appear to be materializing. CodePink, the anti-war group, has promoted a Washington campaign against U.S. military spending and has coordinated a three-day mobilization targeting Congress on 10-12 November, IBTimes UK reported. The planned demonstrations come after the U.S. midterm elections on 3 November.
CodePink co-founder Jodie Evans, in an interview reported by Fox News Digital, urged Americans to look at protests in France as examples of mobilization. CodePink has framed the campaign as peaceful civil disobedience opposing U.S. military spending.
The group receives a significant portion of its funding from sources linked to tech billionaire Neville Roy Singham, according to IBTimes UK, a financial relationship that has drawn intense scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers who allege the nonprofit uses foreign-linked funds to promote anti-American narratives. CodePink and Singham have denied those accusations, maintaining that the group operates independently.

AI-Powered Princes and the Grandparent Trap: An FBI Agent’s Guide to Scams
An FBI agent discusses the latest ways scammers are separating you from your money – and how to avoid getting conned.

An older woman uses a phone.
Internet crime is big business. In 2025, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center tallied more than a million complaints covering losses of nearly $21 billion. Operations that spread across continents are constantly evolving and are using artificial intelligence to get more sophisticated.
To prepare you for the inevitable attempts to make off with your money, we sat down with Supervisory Special Agent Timothy Lynch, unit chief of the FBI’s Cyber-Enabled Fraud and Money Laundering Unit.
Our conversation has been edited for length and clarity.
Decision Points: What is the most common kind of scam that you see, and how does it work?
Lynch: The most common scam right now would be cryptocurrency investment fraud, where people receive cold calls and emails asking them to make some kind of investment in cryptocurrency, where there are claims that are going to be incredible returns on investment. In actuality, the scammers are just taking their funds wholesale. It is by far the most common. It has the highest loss amount. We had about $7.2 billion in reported losses last year.
Why am I getting so many obviously scammy text messages?
Because scam has become global in nature and industrial in scale.
Over the last 10 years or so, we've seen an incredible rise of what are actually known as scam compounds. These are anywhere from 100- to 500-acre mini cities, typically based in Southeast Asia and now Africa. What they're doing is they are buying up cell phone information in bulk, and they are sending out a lot of these cold call solicitations, trying to victimize people.

Churches Strike Blow to Trump Admin in Fight Over ICE Raids
PUBLISHED
OCT 21, 2026 AT 11:30 AM EDT
By Billal Rahman
Immigration Reporter
A federal appeals court has allowed a coalition of religious organizations to pursue its challenge to the Trump administration’s decision to lift restrictions on immigration enforcement at houses of worship.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled 2-1 Tuesday that the religious organizations had sufficiently demonstrated standing at this stage of the case, reversing a lower court decision that found the threat of enforcement was not sufficiently imminent. U.S. Circuit Judge Florence Pan, a Biden appointee, joined by U.S. Circuit Judge Robert Wilkins, an Obama appointee, wrote the majority opinion. The case was sent back to U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich, a Trump appointee, to reconsider the request for a preliminary injunction. U.S. Circuit Judge Neomi Rao, a Trump appointee, dissented.
The ruling does not decide whether the administration’s policy is lawful, nor does it prohibit ICE from carrying out enforcement actions at churches.

What to Know About ICE Arrests at Churches and Schools
The legal disputes follow the administration’s elimination of protections that had generally discouraged immigration arrests and other enforcement activity at sensitive locations.
Religious organizations challenging the change say immigration enforcement in and around churches can deter some people from attending worship services and participating in ministries. The administration has argued that immigration officers should retain discretion to enforce federal law rather than be governed by categorical restrictions on particular locations.
Karl Marx and the Satanic Roots of Communism
David Vance
Aug 02, 2026
What if I told you that Marxism has deep roots in Satanism? Would you be surprised? Is it possible that an ideology which has captured the minds of millions of people around the world has an origin story rooted in deep evil?
I recently read Richard Wurmbrand's fascinating book, Karl Marx and the Satanic Roots of Communism. It isn't an easy read and nor was it intended to be. Wurmbrand wrote it after spending fourteen years in Romanian Communist prisons. Unlike many modern academics who analyse Communism from their ivory towers, Wurmbrand experienced it at its most brutal - in a prison cell.
One of the first things Wurmbrand talks about is something that may surprise many people. Karl Marx did not begin life as an atheist. He was raised in a Christian home and his early school essays reveal someone who understood Christian teaching well. He explicitly wrote about finding comfort in Christ, about serving others selflessly, and about the believer’s relationship with God.
Then, according to Wurmbrand, everything changed.
Marx’s later poems strike an entirely different note. They are filled with a bitterness, a darkness and open defiance of God. In one, Marx declares,
“I wish to avenge myself against the One who rules above.”
In another, he describes a soul once devoted to God but now “chosen for hell.”
Whose soul was that, I wonder?
Wurmbrand argues that these are not isolated literary flourishes but rather clear evidence of a profound spiritual rebellion. Marx no longer appeared merely indifferent to Christianity; he was openly hostile towards it.
Marx also wrote a student play entitled Oulanem.
Wurmbrand points out that the title is an anagram of Emmanuel, one of the Bible's names for Jesus, written backwards. In occult traditions, reversing sacred names carries symbolic significance. Marx was only nineteen at this point.
The play itself is bleak. Its central figure longs to drag humanity into destruction before following them into the abyss himself. Elsewhere, Marx wrote of receiving a sword from “the prince of darkness.” Wurmbrand stops short of suggesting Marx literally entered into some formal pact with Satan but something had changed. Instead, he argues that the recurring imagery, together with Marx’s increasingly hostile language towards God, reveals a deliberate rejection of Christianity.

‘Follow the money’: Goldman Sachs under fire over $285M money trail in Neville Roy Singham probe
The Economic Times
Jun 29, 2026
A federal grand jury has launched an investigation into alleged financial crimes tied to tech entrepreneur Neville Roy Singham, with prosecutors examining a reported $285 million money trail that allegedly moved through a Goldman Sachs philanthropic fund and shell companies into U.S.-based nonprofit groups. The expanding DOJ probe has also placed Goldman Sachs under scrutiny as investigators follow the flow of funds.
