MOST RECENT SERMONS

Ancient and 21st Century Rosary Miracles View description ▼ A common daily way by which we receive God’s grace is praying the Rosary. The Rosary eliminates heresy, dissipates vice, spreads virtue, implores God’s mercy, and obtains Mary’s protection. One of reasons we don’t achieve more through the Rosary is because we don’t pray well enough. Every single one of us can pray the Rosary better. In 2008, Colombia averted war through the Rosary. In 2011, 33 Chilean miners attributed their rescue to it. Modern miracles and those of the past serve to strengthen our faith. October 4, 2026 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
Mary's Unique Role in Salvation View description ▼ Everything about Mary reveals the greatness and goodness of God. We can’t fathom the incredible power which God has placed in her hands. Mary’s special cult (dulia) increases the honor given to God. A true Catholic restoration is not possible without her. Be familiar with the basics of our Catholic Faith in the Blessed Virgin Mary, including the dogmas of her Divine Maternity, Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity, Assumption, Co-Redemptrix or Mediatrix. August 16, 2026 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
Only One of Ten Lepers Was Saved View description ▼ Although today’s gospel is about gratitude, it is about much more. Jesus comes to heal our body and save our souls. All ten lepers were cleansed in body, but only one was told his faith had saved him. We must enter into the mystery hidden in this event. Then we see parallels between the Samaritan leper and both St. Paul and Cornelius the Centurion. Moreover, we see practical implications for how we must navigate the crisis in the Church today. August 23, 2026 by Fr. Linus Clovis
Pray for All Priests and the Pope View description ▼ In the Collect, we beg God to guard His Church. We acknowledge that humans fail and it is God who must keep the Church from harm and guiding souls to salvation. The duty of every Catholic is to pray for the Church, the light of this world. Pray that she continue her mission of redemption faithfully, always being the source of truth. Although the Church is divine, she is also composed of humans who have free will and can choose to sin. All priests need your prayers. Avoid calumny, backbiting, and rash judgments against the pope, bishops, and priests, even when they do evil things and speak against faith and morals. This is not a Catholic spirit, rather offer prayer and penance for them. August 30, 2026 by Fr. Iakobus

How Should One Respond to an Unjust Excommunication View description ▼ On 2 July 2026, the Vatican issued documents claiming the SSPX was schismatic and excommunicated. Media news outlets have been weaponized to quickly spread this propaganda. So how should faithful Catholics respond? Hold fast to the truth that Christ reveals. Exercise charity. Remain at peace. Live a faithful Catholic life. This is the witness which all men, especially other Catholics, need to see.

FLASHBACK: SERMONS

Heresy of Laicism Uncrowns Christ
Grand Inquisitor and the King View description ▼ The essence of a king is to provide. Christ the King provides truths, grace, miracles, good laws, vocations, prayer, nourishment, armor, angelic guides and much more. He also tests us. Following trials, this just King rewards His subjects. In an insightful allegory, Dostoevsky describes how a Cardinal forms his own kingdom. The Cardinal justifies himself, explains how he did it, who helped him, and some of the effects. We see many aspects of this allegory being enacted today. Let us, then, be patient in waiting for the fulfillment of His Majesty’s promises. Let us pray that the King of kings will visit any such Inquisitors alive today with a powerful actual grace.

A Litany to the Precious Blood of Jesus

Prayer from a sermon given on July 1, 2019 (Feast of the Precious Blood)

Precious Blood of Jesus, shed in the circumcision, make me chaste of mind, heart, and body.

Precious Blood of Jesus, oozing from every pore, in the agony of Gethsemani, grant me to love above all things the holy and adorable will of God!

Precious Blood, flowing abundantly in the scourging at the pillar, inspire me with a keen sorrow for my sins and a love of suffering!

Precious Blood, falling in profusion from the crown of thorns, grant me a love of humiliations!

Precious Blood, fructifying the way to Calvary, fill me with the courage necessary to walk unfalteringly in the footsteps of Jesus.

Precious Blood, shed so profusely in the Crucifixion, make me die entirely to self-love!

Precious Blood, shed to the very last drop by the opening of the Sacred Heart, grant me that generous
love that sacrifices all for God!

Precious Blood, sacred source whence flow all virtues and all graces, apply Thy infinite merits to my soul!

O Divine Blood of Jesus, I adore Thee from the depths of my heart! Thee I ardently invoke, for Thou art my salvation, and through Thee I hope to obtain the joys of Paradise.

Most Precious Blood of Jesus, cry to Thy Divine Father for mercy upon us and deliver us. Amen.
