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
Noise and Silence of Advent View description ▼ It is the first day of the new [liturgical] year and time for a fresh start – to put things in the right order. We commemorate Christ’s coming in the flesh and prepare for when He will come again. So we must “look up” with our minds. We often fail to do this on account of the noise all around us: from the world which we can’t avoid, from technology that is self-inflicted, and from our own lips. Strive to have a spirit of silence this Advent that you may hear and love God more than you did the past year. November 30, 2025 by Fr. Iakobus
Mercy or Justice View description ▼ There is always a tension between mercy and justice because they are irreconcilable. Only a Divine Person can bring them into balance. The enemies of Christ laid a double trap for Our Lord by bringing before Him a woman caught in adultery. Jesus writing on the ground connects this event to the apostasy of the Golden Calf. With a wisdom greater than Solomon He administers justice and mercy perfectly. None of us can make up for even the slightest sin because our offense is against Infinite Majesty. However Jesus’ life is of infinite value so His death can satisfy divine justice. Yet God will not be mocked. If we do not repent of our sin then we shall receive His justice instead of His mercy. November 9, 2025 by Fr. Linus Clovis

FLASHBACK: SERMONS

It is Advent, not Christmas View description ▼ Perhaps more than at any other time during the year, this is the time when one can see the vast chasm that exists between the world – and those that are worldly – and the kingdom of heaven and how we are supposed to live as true Catholics. This is the holy season of Advent. It is not a time to be buying, partying, celebrating Christmas, and be consumed by worldly preoccupations. The world as we know it is passing away. It will be destroyed by fire. Resist the enemies of your soul and prepare for the three-fold coming of Christ!
Man Needs Spiritual not Ecological Conversion View description ▼ Environmentalism presents a new false spirituality and religion. It claims all need an ’ecological conversion’ and seems to be the religion of choice for urban atheists. In truth, this is simply a repackaging of pantheism and leads to apostasy. Only Catholic spirituality is authentic, supernatural and salvific. All other spiritualities are either natural or from a demonic influence. Advent represents the first stage in Catholic spirituality and true conversion – it is the purgative state.
St Nicholas of Myra View description ▼ While St. Nicholas is best remembered for giving gifts and helping the youth, he also defended the true doctrine of Christ at the Council of Nicea against the arch-heretic Arius. Today the spirit of Arius is strong, with many attempting to deny the divinity of Christ. Instead let us imitate St. Nicholas: upholding the True Faith and giving gifts that help a person fulfill their true vocation.

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.
