Yes, He did. And He is. Lets look at how many times Jesus claimed to be God - a 🧵✝️
John 8,58 “Jesus answered them: ‘I solemnly declare it: before Abraham came to be, I AM.”
This was the name God gave himself when he first communicated with Moses, Exodus 3,14:
> "God replied, ‘I am who am.""; Then he added, ‘This is what you shall tell the Israelites: I AM sent me to you."
John 10,30: ”The Father and I are one.”
John 14,8-11: “’Philip,’ Jesus replied, ‘after I have been with you all this time, you still do not know me?Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?… Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe because of the works I do."
Matt. 11,27: “Everything has been given over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son but the Father, and no one knows the Father but the Son – and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.”
Matthew 9,5-7: “Which is less trouble to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven’ or ‘Stand up and walk?’ To help you realize that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” – he then said to the paralyzed man – ‘Stand up! Roll up your mat and go home.’ The man stood up and went toward his home.”
John 10,37-38: “If I do not perform my Father’s works, put no faith in me. But if I do perform them, even though you put no faith in me, put faith in these works, so as to realize what it means that the Father is in me and I in him.”

Once the devil said to a priest: "If there were three men like thee, my kingdom would be ruined!"
The whole of France came to him.
He could read souls, he fought demons and lived on one boiled potato a day.
This is the astonishing life story of St. Jean-Marie Vianney - a🧵✝️
However, the context of the French Revolution had a strong influence on his youth: he made his first confession at the foot of the great clock, in the common room of the house where he was born, rather than in the village church, and received absolution from an underground priest.
Two years later, he made his First Communion in a barn, during an underground mass celebrated by a refractory priest.
At 17, he chose to answer God’s call: “I’d like to win souls for God,” he told his mother, Marie Béluze. But his father opposed the project for two years, as there was a shortage of hands at his father’s house.
Once in the seminary everyone thought he was too stupid to be a priest.
He couldn’t read, struggled with Latin, and was nearly kicked out of seminary.
But God had other plans.
Jean Vianney was a simple farm boy.
Born into a farming family in Dardilly, near Lyon, on May 8, 1786, Jean-Marie Vianney’s childhood was marked by the fervor and love of his parents.
After years of struggle and private tutoring, Jean was finally ordained at age 29.
He was sent to a forgotten village in rural France.
A tiny, desolate place called Ars.
The bishop said: “There is little love of God in that parish, you will bring it there.”
There, he awakened the faith of his parishioners through his preaching, but above all through his prayer and his way of life.
He feels poor in front of the mission to be accomplished, but he lets himself be seized by God’s mercy.
He restored and embellished his church, founded an orphanage: “La Providence” and took care of the poorest.
Hollywood lied to you about the Spanish Inquisition.
It was necessary, legitimate, and far more merciful than the secular courts of its time.
This is the truth about the Spanish Inquisition - a 🧵✝️
To understand the Inquisition, you must place yourself in the world of the Middle Ages.
Europe was fighting for its life. For centuries, the Iberian Peninsula had been under Muslim occupation.
The Reconquista (711–1492) was not just a war of land, but of faith and survival.
Other Christian heresies kept popping up here and there so a system was needed to keep the people faithful and Europe united in Christ and His Church.
Also, there wasn’t just one Inquisition.
There were several:
>The Medieval Inquisition (13th century)
>The Spanish Inquisition (1478–1834)
>The Roman Inquisition (1542+) Each had different goals, methods, and levels of severity. But none were what the myths suggest.
He was the last Catholic emperor.
A monarch who chose the Cross over the crown.
He offered his life as a sacrifice for peace.
His body was discovered incorrupt 50 years after he died.
The life of Blessed Blessed Karl of Austria – a 🧵✝️
Karl was born in 1887 into the Habsburg dynasty.
A prince surrounded by pomp and politics.
From childhood, he was formed in deep Catholic piety.
He spent his early years wherever his father's regiment happened to be stationed; later on, he lived in Vienna and Reichenau an der Rax.
He was privately educated, but, contrary to the custom ruling in the imperial family, he attended a public gymnasium (the Schottengymnasium) for the sake of demonstrations in scientific subjects.
On the conclusion of his studies at the gymnasium, he entered the army, spending the years from 1906 to 1908 as an officer chiefly in Prague, where he studied Law and Political Science concurrently with his military duties.
In 1907, Karl was declared of age.
He was given a chamberlain and assigned routine military duties in Bohemian garrison towns.
He was kept far from politics. His great-uncle, Emperor Franz Joseph, barely knew him.
His uncle, Franz Ferdinand, mistrusted him.
Their wives clashed as well.
To all the world, Karl seemed destined for obscurity,
a minor Habsburg prince with no role in statecraft.
He played video games, loved coding and dressed like any other teenager.
But his heart burned with love for the Eucharist.
In 7 September 2025 he will be Canonized a Saint
This is the story of Blessed Carlo Acutis, the Cyber Apostle – a 🧵✝️
Carlo was born in 1991, in London to Andrea Acutis and Antonia Salzano.
His family later moved to Milan, Italy, where Carlo developed his love for video games, coding and photography alongside his deepening faith
A teenager like any other, except for one thing:
his heart burned with love for Christ.
His love for Christ inspired his parents with his mother saying: “Before Carlo’s birth, I was really caught up in the culture of our time,” “I was a prisoner of everything that is relative and limited.” “Carlo showed me how to live in my century while turning toward eternity.”
From the age of 7, Carlo attended daily Mass.
He spent long hours before the Blessed Sacrament.
His motto: “The Eucharist is my highway to Heaven.”
He also prayed the rosary often, because he loved Jesus’ Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary: “The Virgin Mary is the only woman in my life.”
You’ve seen the movies.
Twisting heads. Screaming demons. Flying furniture.
But the truth is more chilling.
This is what the Church actually teaches about exorcism & demonic possession - a 🧵✝️
Exorcism isn’t superstition. It’s a sacramental, an official prayer of the Church that commands demons in the name of Christ.
There are two types:
> Simple (minor): used during baptisms, blessings, etc.
> Solemn (major): the rare, official Rite of Exorcism, requiring a bishop’s approval.
Not every priest can perform one.
But every diocese is required to have someone who can.
Before declaring a case demonic, the Church requires:
>Medical and psychiatric evaluations
>Long periods of discernment
>Signs that cannot be explained naturally
No one jumps to "demon" first. But when natural causes are ruled out, the spiritual battle begins.
