Star of Esther and Fatima

DVRodriguez2024-07-31T13:01:11-04:00

Our Lady teaches with words and symbols. Every facet of her appearance is intentional. At Fatima, she wore the Star of Ester on her hem. This points to the importance of the 13th and the salvation wrought by the queen for her people just before the moment of complete destruction. In Esther, the Church Fathers saw a prefiguration of Our Lady. The Consecration of Russia will bring about Our Lady's great mediation so that the Church Universal honors her Immaculate Heart alongside the Sacred Heart.

The Holy Ghost and Our Lady

DVRodriguez2024-06-17T17:36:38-04:00

Frequently pray the Church's three most important prayers to the Holy Ghost. In the time between the Ascension and Pentecost Our Lady humbly guided the Apostles. Our practice of praying novenas originates from these days. Our Lady is a most perfect Mother, and her concerns for us, her children, are centered on eternity, grace and sin. Christian Mothers, imitate HER! The Holy Ghost is particularly active in carrying out the Mission of Christ where – and in whom – He finds His Spouse, the Ever Virgin and Holy Mary.

Christ’s Passion and Our Lady

DVRodriguez2024-04-01T10:24:02-04:00

Christ's Passion and Death is what saves us. These final two weeks of Lent – Passiontide – are privileged weeks. The Church calls us to reflect upon Our Lord's Passion and the unique role fulfilled by the Holy Mother of God. No exercise is more profitable for our sanctification. St. Bonaventure, St. John Eudes, St. Bridget of Sweden, Ven. Maria of Agreda and the benedictine monk John Lydgate serve as helpful guides.

O Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary!

From the Sermon 'Sorrow and Death' given on February 12, 2017 (Septuagesima Sunday) 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 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 [...]
