It happened today
That morning Churchill he woke up with a bad premonition: “Almost physical pain, unconscious belief that we were beaten.” It was July 26, 1945, the day the United Kingdom general election results were announced, the first in ten years. The Prime Minister has just returned from the Potsdam Conference, which was deliberately interrupted. Many, including Churchill, were convinced What British subjects will reward the victorious leadership of the Conservatives during the war. Instead, Labor won. Roosevelt and Stalin (especially he) were confused when the new prime minister arrived in Potsdam, Clement Attlee. On the same day, the conference approved a declaration outlining the “terms for Japan’s surrender”. The Rising Sun called for an immediate end to all hostilities in the Pacific. If he had not done so, he would have met “quick and complete ruin.” (From Luigi Gaetani)
Saint of the day
Saints Anna and Joachim, the parents of Mary, as well as the grandparents of Jesus, there is no exact information about them; according to legend, Joachim belonged to the family of David and was a very generous person. The couple could not have children for twenty years: at that time, for the Jews, the absence of children was a sign of the absence of God’s blessing. After much prayer, Mary was born to the two.
