In 1627, Cardinal Richelieu, stood at the front lines of war.

A Protestant stronghold defied crown and altar.
The Church was in peril.

He wasn’t carrying a sword, but he did build a seawall across the sea.

The Siege of La Rochelle - a 🧵✝️ Image
La Rochelle wasn’t just any city.

It was France’s most powerful Protestant stronghold, wealthy, defiant, and allied with England.

Richelieu saw it as a threat to both monarchy and Church.

To save the kingdom from fracture, he believed one faith, one king was essential.

So he acted.Image
Richelieu launched a massive siege.

But the Huguenots had the sea, and England’s navy, to supply them.

So the Cardinal did the unthinkable:
He engineered a seawall across the harbor.
1,500 meters long. Built with rubble, sunken ships, and cannon emplacements.

A wall in the sea.Image

Why should you believe in God?
Because the alternative is madness.
The greatest minds agreed on this.

If there is no God, then there is no truth, no right or wrong, no meaning.

But if there is, everything makes sense.

Why God is, logically, real - a🧵✝️ Image
Image
Human beings long for the divine and the sacred.

>You long for justice.
>You long for beauty.
>You long for truth.
>You long for love.

These things don’t evolve from slime.

They are eternal, and they point beyond the material world.

They point to God. Image
The greatest minds in history concluded that reason alone demands a First Cause: Unmoved, uncreated, outside time and space.

A personal, eternal, intelligent Creator.
The existence of God is logical, not mythical.

In Phaedo, Socrates reflects:

“I think that if there is anything beautiful besides the Beautiful itself, it is beautiful for no other reason than that it partakes of that Beauty.”

This implies the existence of a transcendent standard, an eternal source.Image

The Bible isn’t just a story, and Cambridge University is proving exactly that.

3,224 years ago, Joshua commanded the sun to stand still.
Now astronomers say it really happened.

The day Joshua paused the sky - a 🧵✝️ Image

“Sun, stand still over Gibeon. And moon, over the Valley of Ayalon.” - Joshua 10,12

For centuries, scholars dismissed this verse as poetic metaphor. But what if it described a real, historical event? Image
Lets get you into context:

The Israelites are ambushed by five Amorite kings after entering the Promised Land.

Joshua rallies his army to defend their allies, the Gibeonites.

But time is running out. The sun begins to set.
Victory must come before nightfall.

So Joshua prays. Image

If the tale of Saint Christopher doesn't make you want to hit the gym I don't know what will.

He was a warrior who served kings, then the devil himself.

But when he met Christ, everything changed.

This is the story of Saint Christopher, the Christ-bearer - 🧵✝️ Image
They say his name was Reprobus.
He was said to be a Canaanite, a giant in both stature and strength.

So powerful, he vowed to serve only the greatest king on earth. But that quest would take him to the edge of hell, and back. Image
First, he served a mighty human king.

But when that king trembled at the mention of the devil, Reprobus left him. “I will serve the devil,” he said, “for he must be mightier.” And so he did. Image

People claim there is no evidence for God

That miracles no longer happen
That the Eucharist is just a symbol

But what if the Sacred Host turned into flesh?
What if it bled, and science could not explain it?

It did, multiple times, these are the Eucharistic Miracles - a 🧵✝️ Image
1. Lanciano, Italy (8th Century)

In the city of Lanciano, Italy, around the 8th century, a Basilian monk reportedly doubted the doctrine of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

During Mass, upon pronouncing the words of consecration, he witnessed the bread and wine transform into human flesh and blood.Image
Image
This event is considered the oldest recorded Eucharistic miracle

In 1970, Professor Odoardo Linoli, a specialist in anatomy and pathological histology, conducted a scientific examination of the relics. His findings included:

The flesh is human cardiac tissue, specifically from the myocardium (heart muscle).

The blood is human and of type AB.

Both the flesh and blood showed no signs of preservatives.

These results were corroborated by Professor Ruggero Bertelli of the University of Siena.

The Catholic Church recognizes the Miracle of Lanciano as authentic. The relics are preserved in the Church of San Francesco in Lanciano, where they continue to be venerated.Image
