Prayer to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament

DVRodriguez2021-05-01T22:17:44-04:00

From the sermon given on 18 April 2021 Jesus, my Lord and my God, I adore Thee present in the Sacrament of Thy love. Thou art the same almighty God, Who has existed from eternity, by Whom all things were made, and without Whom was made nothing that was made. The very same God and wonderful Being Who is heaven’s beatitude. The same Who, from the summit of Mount Sinai, commanded the Israelites not to approach near Him, lest the terrors of His greatness should destroy them. Dearest Jesus, I believe most firmly that Thou, the second Person of the Most [...]

¡Oh amabilísimo y dulcísimo Jesús, nuestro Dios, nuestro Salvador, y nuestro Padre! ¿Cómo podemos nosotros, miserables criaturas que somos, responder al amor que Tú has mostrado y que no cesas de mostrarnos?

O Bone Jesu

O very amiable and very sweet Jesus, our God, our Savior, our Father! how can we, miserable creatures that we are, respond to the love that Thou hast shown and that Thou dost not cease to show us? May the seraphim of Heaven give to Thee for us suitable thanks, and never cease to praise Thee by forever repeating that Thou dost merit all glory, all honor, and all power. O most sweet Savior, we hope to obtain, by virtue of Thy glorious Name in our hearts and on our lips, victory over the world and the flesh, and the salvation [...]

Prayer to Obtain the Graces Necessary for Salvation

DVRodriguez2020-11-14T12:44:45-05:00

by St. Alphonsus Liguori Eternal Father, Thy Son has promised that Thou wilt grant us all the graces for which we ask Thee in His Name. In the Name, therefore, and by the merits of Jesus Christ, I ask the following graces for myself, my family, and for all mankind. First, I pray Thee to give me a lively faith in all that the holy Roman Church teaches me. Enlighten me also, that I may know the vanity of the goods of this world, and the immensity of the infinite good that Thou art. Make me also see the deformity of the sins [...]

Three Kings Adore Christ Child

DVRodriguez2020-11-02T14:16:29-05:00

THE STORY OF THE THREE KINGS - PART II [Read Part I -- Read Part III] The three Kings journeyed to Jerusalem, each his own way with his own company. Yet as they neared the city, dark clouds covered the earth and they lost sight of the Star. In this event, the prophecy of Isaiah was fulfilled: "Arise, be enlightened, O Jerusalem: for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For behold darkness shall cover the earth, and a mist the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be [...]

The Star of Bethlehem

DVRodriguez2020-11-09T13:54:56-05:00

THE STORY OF THE THREE KINGS - PART I [Read Part II] Many of us are familiar with the fact that three gentile kings came to adore the Newborn King. They brought Him gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. We celebrate this feast each year on January 6, Epiphany. Their appearance in the Gospel is quite unexpected and their departure equally sudden. Who were they? What did they do before and after this great event of their lives? While such details are not contained in Sacred Scripture Tradition does record their lives, including the fact that they became great bishops and [...]
