Amici, Americani, Compatriotae,
To the reader's attention is directed the following video from the Veritas Forum - Miracles: Is Belief in the Supernatural Irrational? Also to the reader's attention is directed supplementary reading - Fides et Ratio by Pope St John Paul II. The fact of the matter is that there is no one more irrational than the dialectical materialist atheist (except perhaps the demonically possessed Islamic Jihadist), and no one more sane than he who has surrendered his will and his life to the care of God Almighty.

Famulamen Ducati
Amici, Romani, Compatriotae,
My sister posted the following video on her Facebook timeline. One statement in this video is noteworthy:
"When you gain their trust, these ponies look to you for leadership. When they look to you for leadership, you cannot fail them. You stop worrying about yourself."
I have never heard the servanthood of leadership (famulamen ducati in lingua Latina) ever explained so well. There is a reason why Christ rode an ass into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. And there is a reason why God spoke to Balaam through a donkey.

Heroicitas Invisitata, Sanctitas Incognita: Confutatio Finalis contra Socialismum
Folks,
The American Catholic blog has a great entry yesterday entitled, "Unsung Hero Open Thread," hence the title to this blog entry here: "Heroism Unseen, Holiness Untried: the Ultimate Refuation against Socialism." The videos below are copied from that blog entry, so no credit can be taken by your blogmagister. Nevertheless, these videos demonstrate that the discharge of the individual's personal responsibility for acts of charity is the proper implementation of the parable of the sheep and the goats in Matthew 25:31-46. Foisting onto Caesar what the people in the videos below do will neither benefit the poor nor ensure the salvation of one's soul; all it does is empower and enrich avaricious and power hungry politicians (like Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton) whose concupiscence is every bit as vile and depraved as that of the worst corporate executive beholden to nanny government for the next round of largess from the public treasury. Collectivism, socialism, liberalism, and progressivism are always and everywhere contrary to what God commands and demands: personal responsibility and accountability.
