MOST RECENT SERMONS

St. Alphonsus Liguori on Prayer View description ▼ Never forget God’s sweet presence, as do the greater part of men. Speak to God as often as you can for He wishes that you to speak with Him. Pray in trials, in joys, after a fault, and in doubts. Let prayer be the first thing you do when you awake and the last thought as your retire for the night. Pray for your neighbor. In mental prayer make again and again acts of contrition, of love of God, and of oblation of self. Above all, ardently long for Heaven in your prayer. If you wish to make spiritual progress, foster a devotion to Our Lord’s Passion, the Blessed Sacrament, and the Virgin Mary. Finally, trust that God only answers prayers for the goods which serve the salvation of the soul. August 2, 2026 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
What She Treasured in Her Heart View description ▼ Strive to foster a devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary; and not just in externals but according to a true Catholic spirit. At bare minimum, practice the First Saturday devotion well. We can learn much from the teaching of the saints. Consider as well how the Scriptures present her Heart as a sacred depository and faithful guardian of all the mysteries of salvation, of right dogma and true liturgy. August 23, 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 have saved him. We must enter into the mystery hidden in this event. Then we seem 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

PODCAST: SPECIAL INTERVIEWS

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.

How a Priest Found Tradition and the Latin Mass View description ▼ Fr. John Lovell interviews Fr. Michael Rodríguez on the podcast, Hope in the Desert. Fr. Rodríguez is well-known as a fervent advocate for the restoration and recovery of Catholic Tradition.

He identifies ignorance and lack of faith as key factors which impair the progress of many Catholics. Thus, he encourages study and prayer. Father's journey underscores the importance of the principle: lex orandi, lex credendi.

Fr. John Lovell interviews Fr. Michael Rodríguez regarding how he came to find, love, and dedicate himself exclusively to the true Catholic Mass, the Mass of All Ages.

FLASHBACK: SERMONS

Schism and Divorce, Errors of Russia View description ▼
Karl Marx said “For socialism to succeed three things must be destroyed: Property, Religion, and the Family.” It seems that many explosive forces have been released! Religion and family are failing, seemingly more than ever. Whence come these destructive forces? They are among the errors of Russia Our Lady came to warn us about and provide the means to correct. To prevent them from seeping into our lives... and our families, let us be sure to consecrate ourselves and our families to the Immaculate Heart of Mary as well as devoutly praying daily Her Most Holy Rosary. Read text of sermon.
The Sanctuary Left Unguarded View description ▼ You can't feed a dead body. Analogously, one who is spiritually dead (lacking sanctifying race) may not receive the Holy Eucharist. Not only are they both absurd, but the latter is a great offense against God (sacrilege). It is a violation of His marriage feast and will not go unpunished. Unless such souls convert and confess such sins, they will be among those cast out of the feast, bound hand and foot, into the outer darkness where there is only wailing and grinding of teeth. May God preserve us from such a fate ... and the presumption that leads to such a terrible end
Great Escapes Possible Through the Holy Rosary View description ▼ Men are thrilled by stories of great escapes and reversals, where good seems completely defeated but then unexpectedly triumphs over evil. God's grace has filled human history with such wondrous events. They clearly manifest His power and providence to us. No other sacramental provides more miraculous savings than Our Lady's Rosary. An "exit visa" from this valley of tears into Heaven can only be provided by the Church and Holy Rosary is a privileged means to gain such "sponsorship."  [Read text of sermon.]
Coming Chastisement and Restoration View description ▼ The very columns that uphold society are collapsing. A new Babylon is all around us. The diabolical revolution against God and created nature gains victory after victory. Yet although God may permit satan his hour, God will have His Day. A chastisement will fall upon the “city of man"; from its ashes and rubble, Christian society shall be restored. A great pope, a great Church council, and great Catholic leaders are foretold. There will be an age of peace under the Reign of the Immaculate Heart. (St. Mariam of Jesus Crucified may provide a type for the chastisement followed by restoration which will befall the Church.) But why the delay? St. Joseph must be given his proper honor and veneration in the Church.

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.
