Three Miraculous Marian Images View description ▼ To help you be more devoted to the image of the Immaculate and Sorrowful Heart of Mary, consider these three miraculous images. Our Lady of Montallegro in Ramalla Italy (1557) was brought by angels from Greece. Carmelite monks in Vilnius, Lithuania built a chapel to honor Our Lady at the Gate of the Dawn. And Mary promised a particular grace of devotion to all who venerated her image of Our Lady of Confidence, especially with the aspiration ‘My Mother, my confidence.” Our Lady will continue to work great miracles through those images which she chooses. After all, as St. John Eudes teaches, Jesus Himself teaches devotion to the Immaculate Heart of His most holy Mother. August 31, 2025 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
Our Lady Co-Redemptrix By Her Dolors View description ▼ Our Lord is the sole redeemer of the world. We are each called to cooperate in His Redemption. Mary participates in the redemption as we do, but to a much greater degree. Moreover, she then also cooperates uniquely in Christ's redemptive work via her divine maternity and her sorrows. It is by His passion and death that Christ saves us. Our Lady's compassion with Christ had the same character of sacrifice and expiation as Our Lord's passion. In fact, God willed that Our Lady's sorrows form an integral part of Christ's saving passion. October 5, 2025 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
The Sweet Yoke of Christ View description ▼ All nations are to be bought under the sweet yoke of Christ’s rule. Christ must first reign in our souls. Then He can use us to transform souls and extend His kingdom to others. But have we been infected by the spirit of the world? Do we think the Catholic life is too difficult, that we can’t live as the Church calls us to or as our ancestors did? This is simply not true. Christ is King and He remains so for all eternity. His power extends over everything. We have to know Him and His truth. Be confident that Christ is our loving King and He will give us the grace to be faithful. October 26, 2025 by Fr. Iakobus
Will You Reject God's Invitation View description ▼ Have you ever wondered why Our Lord told a parable where a king has a wedding guest bound and cast into the exterior darkness for simply failing to have proper attire? Father explains this parable (Matthew 22:1-14), noting that the Church is signified by the wedding feast. Clearly, it is not sufficient to simply be a member of the Church. Now those who preferred worldliness –or killed the messengers– are the Jews, and their city is destroyed (70 AD). Their fall opened the Church to the Gentiles, bad and good alike. In baptism, the soul “puts on Christ,” I.e. Jesus’ mind, heart, and actions. This parable eloquently speaks of God’s mercy and justice. God calls us to eternal life but He does not compel us.

FLASHBACK: SERMONS

Death Penalty Promotes Culture of Life View description ▼ October is respect life month. Many priests will rightly preach against abortion and euthanasia. But now some will speak against capital punishment. Their error largely stems from an 'enlightenment' rejection of the supernatural, from misunderstanding the nature of punishment, and even from rejecting the existence of hell. Capital punishment actually promotes the Culture of Life! A just execution is an act of obedience to the 5th Commandment, for its purpose is to foster and promote human life. The Church has always accept the use of the death penalty - in fact, it is biblical. This teaching can never be changed.
Catholic Truth on Death Penalty View description ▼ St. Peter Claver frequently aided those who were condemned to death by the state. Today many are claiming that 'Church doctrine' on this matter can change. This is false. It is a settled point of doctrine taught in Sacred Scripture, Tradition, and Church Magisterium. Such teaching can never change or be contradicted. Let us examine some of the reasons behind the modernist error being promoted today and dispel them with the truth of Jesus Christ.

Consecration of the Human Race to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Prayer prescribed by Pius XI for the Feast of Christ the King.
[Read the encyclical Quas Primas, 1925]

Most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the human race, look down upon us humbly prostrate before Thy cross.  We are Thine, and Thine we wish to be; but to be more surely united to Thee, behold, each one of us this day freely consecrates himself to Thy most Sacred Heart.  Many, indeed, have never known Thee; many, too, despising Thy precepts have rejected Thee.  Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to Thy Sacred Heart. Be Thou King, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have never forsaken Thee, but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned Thee; grant that they may quickly return to their Father’s house lest they perish of wretchedness and hunger.

Be Thou King of those whom heresy holds in error or discord keeps aloof; call them back to the harbor of truth and the unity of faith, so that soon there may be but one fold and one Shepherd.  Be Thou King of all those who even now sit in the darkness of idolatry or Islam, and refuse not Thou to bring them into the light of Thy kingdom.

Finally, turn Thine eyes of pity upon the children of that race, which was for so long a time Thy chosen people; and let Thy Blood, which was once invoked upon them in vengeance, now descend upon them also in a cleansing flood of redemption and eternal life.

Grant, O Lord, to Thy Church assurance of freedom and immunity from harm; give peace and order to all nations, and bring it to pass that from pole to pole the earth may resound with one cry:  Praise to the divine Heart that wrought our salvation; to It be honor and glory for ever and ever.  Amen.
