Cathedra, Kingship and Judgment View description ▼ The feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica celebrates the cathedral church of the whole Catholic world. It is from his cathedra, that a bishop teaches the Catholic Faith and exercises his apostolic authority. Bishops are meant to serve as the instruments of Christ. Their failure to faithfully transmit His teachings is a great tragedy of our times. This feast also reminds us that we will all stand in judgment before Christ the King. Although we are not political or ecclesial rulers, and so our influence in the public sphere is limited, we must nevertheless honor Christ as King in our lives and offer reparation for the offenses His Kingship suffers. November 9, 2025 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
Go to the Cave with Faith View description ▼ Christ was born, named and circumcised in the cave at Bethlehem. Enter therein and consider that this Child, Who is God, came down to earth for love of you and that He suffered so much to pay the penalty for your sins. He has granted you this new year that you may thank and love him more. Yet too often we go through life and our heart never changes. So offer Him your heart, ask him to transform it, making it like to His own Heart. These are the steps we need to take if we truly wish Him to teach us, save us, and rule over us. January 1, 2026 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
Right Order in the Family View description ▼ To be happy a family does not need great wealth or pleasure, yet right order is essential. The husband must lead, making difficult decisions, always for the good of the whole family. The wife is the heart, inspiring love and peace; a magnet pulling everyone back to the home. The chief duty of children is obedience. They are to help their parents and lighten their burdens. Love and peace abound when families work together, have common goals, communicate well, and each member exercises humility. Families are sanctified by suffering. In the Holy Family, God has provided the perfect model for all families. January 11, 2026 by Fr. Iakobus
St Hilary, Spring of the Church View description ▼ St. Hilary (~310-368 A.D.) is known as the 'Hammer of Arians' and the 'Athanasius of the West'. Born of pagan parents, he received an excellent education which led him into the Church. Contrary to his desire, he was consecrated bishop of Poitiers (Gaul). He was persecuted and exiled for faithfully defending the doctrine of the Trinity and Christ's divinity. St. Hilary insisted that if the Church made friends with the world then it was doomed. Yet where the Church holds fast to true doctrine, that is where she flourishes. How clearly we see the truth of his prophetic words today! Pray that God grant us bishops filled with the spirit of St. Hilary. January 14, 2026 by Fr. Linus Clovis
Mystery of Obedience View description ▼ By one man's disobedience, many die. But one Man's obedience saves many. Jesus and Mary obey the Law, even though they are not obligated to do so. By obeying the law, they submit to the Law Giver, God Himself. Obedience means "to listen and to do." Pray for the virtue of obedience, for it is by this vritue that one grows in wisdom and grace before God and men.   January 11, 2026 by Fr. Linus Clovis

FLASHBACK: SERMONS

Three Pillars of Penance View description ▼ Prayer, fasting and almsgiving are at the very foundation of our spiritual life as Catholics. We must practice them in order to grow in God’s grace. All three require a profound interior disposition. Prayer grows our love for God, almsgiving increases our love of neighbor and detachment from the world, and fasting requires our death to self. These pillars of penance are the most important ways to store up treasures in Heaven and combat the obstacles to receiving God’s grace. This Lent, I exhort you to pray the Rosary more devoutly, meditate upon the Stations of the Cross, grow in your devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows, and pay close attention to the readings of the Septuagesima season. Today’s gospel focuses us upon Heaven, the Passion of our Lord, and ‘the blind man’ who represents us. Beg our Lord to open your eyes so that you can see more clearly how great is His love for you and that you see more clearly the horror of sin.
Would You Be My Valentine View description ▼ February 14 is the feast of the great Catholic martyr and priest, St. Valentine. His persecutor, Claudius II, forbade Roman soldiers to marry. Since the saint officiated secret nuptial Masses, he was arrested, beaten, and beheaded. His relics remain in Rome. In addition to special graces, martyrdom requires training, which rests upon the self-denial (penance) of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Lent provides this time of exercise, preparing us to be witnesses for Christ (martyrs). Life is not worth living unless there is something worth dying for!
Tale of Two Sparrows View description ▼ Lent is the Church’s way of encouraging us to engage anew in mortal combat with the fallen man inside each one of us. The Scriptures provide deep lessons for those with ears to hear; consider the images of sparrows, wood, scarlet, hyssop and living waters. By meditating upon the glories that await us in Heaven, we will be strengthened in the spiritual battle against the evil 'doppelganger' within us. Read the Sermon Here.

AMREG Holocaust Summit 2026: Treblinka

A rational examination of the undisputed parameters concerning Treblinka show that the holocaust story concerning the camp is not merely impossible but savagely irrational. Given how the Treblinka tales fit into the whole, then with this camp exposed, the whole holocaust narrative collapses.

Personal Testimony

In this episode of Hope in the Desert, Fr. John Lovell interviews David Rodríguez. They discuss the impact of a priest's cancellation on his family and community, their respective experiences in seminary formation, and the problem of bishops no longer being true spiritual fathers, but becoming instead absent, even abusive, 'fathers'.

Prayer to the Immaculate and Sorrowful Mother of God

The prayer from the sermon Sorrow and Death given on Septuagesima Sunday in 2017

To thee, O Immaculate and Sorrowful Mother of God, do we have recourse in this supreme hour of mankind’s need, amidst such storms indeed as have never been known, shaking holy Mother Church to her very foundations.
Thou, who standing by the foot of the Cross, didst once share so closely in the sufferings of thy Divine Son, with what compassion art thou not moved today for the suffering of His Mystical Body, the Church! Russia has so spread her errors throughout the world that the human element of the Church has been widely infected; within the very bosom of the Church the virus of a false ecumenism poisons souls without number, either tearing them away or keeping them outside of the unity of the true Faith and the one and only Ark of Salvation. Indeed, the good are being persecuted and martyred.
As we begin today to prepare for the coming holy season of Lent, we wish to place ourselves under thy powerful and loving motherly protection, thou to whom God promised from the beginning wouldst crush the head of the infernal serpent. We look to thine Immaculate Heart, a perfect image of the Divine Heart of thy Son. This shall be our refuge and the way that will lead us to God.
O most sweet Mother and Queen, we consecrate ourselves this day to Thine Immaculate and Sorrowful Heart. We consecrate our eyes, our ears, our mouths, our hearts, our whole being, without reserve. We relinquish all that we have, that we may be wholly thine. Wherefore, good Mother, as we are all thine, keep us and guard us in thy Heart; bring us to the restoration of all things in Christ through the glorious triumph of thine Immaculate Heart. Amen.
