MOST RECENT SERMONS

Ten Sins Against Marriage View description ▼ Go spiritually to the cave at Bethlehem. Contemplate what you see: the Holy Family. You have a role within a family. Offer it to Baby Jesus as a gift; that it may please, serve and honor Him. We can't change someone else, but we must know the truth and stand fast in what Christ the King teaches regarding holy Matrimony. Do your best to live according to His truth, transmit these truths to others, and resist the errors and evil of others. Offer prayers and sacrifices for the failings of your past sins against marriage and in reparation for mankind's many violations against this holy sacrament. January 19, 2025 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
Pray to Imitate the Holy Family View description ▼ The Feast of the Holy Family is a Christmas Feast. With His nativity, Jesus gives us not only Himself but also the Holy Family. Note how the Holy Family has a central role in all twelve mysteries of Christ's infancy. We are called to imitate the Holy Family and thereby grow in the grace of God. This is why God has placed us upon this earth. Yet mankind today is more than ever opposed to marriage. How terrible! A rejection of holy matrimony is a rejection of the Holy Family. Take these things seriously and really reflect upon them. January 12, 2025 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
The Family Needs Purity of Intent View description ▼ Our Lady provides a great model for what it means to be pure, which is far more than just purity in body. Purity begins in the mind. A family can't be happy unless it is a pure family. Purity helps us resist pride, selfishness, and the world. It means not judging things by our feelings but according to what God wills. Parents, practice purity and form your children accordingly. Children should not face these things alone. It is far easier to shun vice when we know the truth. Marriage is not for pleasure or self, it is to die; to die in order to live for God and fulfill what He has called you to. February 2, 2025 by Fr. Iakobus

FEATURED SERMONS

JOY in Marriage View description ▼ The ordering of charity according to J-O-Y (Jesus first, Others second,Yourself last) is the same as the Cross composed of love of God (vertical)and love of neighbor (horizontal). Our Lady shows her perfect adherence to this ordering in her life at the Marriage in Cana. Two practical explanations of this ordering in marriage are: [1] One ought not assist at weddings which are contrary to the laws of God and His Church. [2] The marital act must always abide by this order. The marital act must first be [1] for the procreation and formation of souls for Heaven(for love of God), then [2] for the mutual support of spouses (other) and lastly [3] for the quieting of one’s passions (Yourself). Marriages that follow this hierarchical ordering endure and bring true happiness.
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!

Prayer to Our Lady of Buen Suceso

From the sermon Light, Salvation and Glory given on February 2, 2017

O most Excellent and Immaculate Queen of Heaven, Holy Mary of Good Success, most favored Daughter of the Eternal Father, most beloved Mother of the Divine Son, most cherished Spouse of the Holy Ghost, sublime throne of the Divine Majesty, august Temple of the Holy Trinity, in whom the Three Divine Persons have placed the treasures of their power, wisdom, and love!

Remember, Virgin Mary of Good Success, whom God has made so great, so that thou canst give succor to miserable sinners; remember that thou has often promised to show thyself a merciful Mother to those who have recourse to thee.  I come to thee then, Mother most merciful, and I beg thee, for thy love of the Most High, that thou shouldst obtain for me from God the Father, a lively faith that never loses sight of the eternal truths; from the Son, a firm hope that always aspires to reach that glory that He won for me with His Blood; and from the Holy Ghost, a charity so inflamed that I will always live loving the Supreme Goodness and thee, Most Holy Virgin, until, through thy intervention, I should love and enjoy thee eternally in glory.  Amen.

Soul of Mary

Traditional Payer to Our Lady of Buen Suceso

Soul of Mary, sanctify me.
Body of Mary, purify me.
Heart of Mary, inflame me.
Sorrow of Mary, comfort me.
Tears of Mary, console me.
O Sweet Mary, hear me.
With thy benign eyes, look on me.
Through thy holy steps, guide me.
To thy Divine Son, pray for me.
Pardon for my sins, achieve for me.
Devotion to thy holy Rosary, infuse in me.
Love for God and my fellow man, grant me.
Permit me not, to ever be separated from thee.
In the hour of my death, comfort me.
From my enemies, defend me.
With the shield of thy holy name, protect me.
With thy mantle, cover me.
In the fatal instance of my agony, assist me.
From dying in sin, free me.
Into the arms of Jesus, deliver me.
To the eternal mansion, bring me.
So that, with the angels and saints I can praise thee forever and ever.  Amen.

“And second …when tribulations of spirit and sufferings of the body oppress them and
they seem to be drowning in this bottomless sea let them gaze at my holy image and I will
always be there ready to listen to their cries and soothe their pain. Tell them that they
should always run to their Mother with confidence and love…”

- Our Lady of Buen Suceso to Mother Mariana

Restoring the beauty, majesty, and truth of our traditional Catholic Faith all over the world.
