Four Last Things

Do You Believe in the Church?

DVRodriguez2026-03-05T17:31:06-05:00

Christ intentionally set up His Church with three parts to mirror the Blessed Trinity. Likewise, Our Lady’s Rosary has three sets of mysteries. Sadly, the majority of Catholics no longer have true faith in the Mystery of the Church. For example, they think the Mass has only to do with them. They forget, that the Mass is also offered for the Church Suffering. Many also forget that the Four Last things are the inescapable destiny of every single human being.

Communion of Saints

DVRodriguez2026-02-17T08:05:15-05:00

The Church transcends time and space: triumphant in Heaven, suffering in Purgatory, and militant on Earth. Jesus is the center of the Church and it is He who unites it. Members of the Church can honor and help one another because of the charity of Christ and the power of His grace. Far too often we only think of the Church in terms of this world and goods and values of this world. For those on earth, our duty is to fight the enemies of our soul and grow in God’s grace. Our goal must be to save our soul and [...]

Hell is Real

The Magi were guided by a star with represents truth and symbolizes Heaven. They brought gifts to adore the Lord. The most acceptable gift we can offer is a contrite and loving heart. Jesus calls us to conversion; to become like Him. How narrow is the gate that leads to life and few there are that find it. We must be guided by the desire to reach Heaven. We should also reflect upon the reality of hell. The soul that seriously considers hell will be moved to conversion and be saved.

Cathedra, Kingship and Judgment

DVRodriguez2026-02-09T22:37:21-05:00

The feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica celebrates the cathedral church of the whole Catholic world. It is from his cathedra, that a bishop teaches the Catholic Faith and exercises his apostolic authority. Bishops are meant to serve as the instruments of Christ. Their failure to faithfully transmit His teachings is a great tragedy of our times. This feast also reminds us that we will all stand in judgment before Christ the King. Although we are not political or ecclesial rulers, and so our influence in the public sphere is limited, we must nevertheless honor Christ as King in [...]

Everything in Catholicism Points to Heaven

DVRodriguez2025-06-16T21:34:57-04:00

The Ascension focuses us on the mysteries of the Incarnate Word now in Heaven. He is forever our intercessor and mediator; here on earth He does so through the Mass. Jesus is crowned King of kings, has supreme authority over all creatures, and He will come again and judge the living and dead. Look to present Him with the beautiful fruits of your life and work (for example, your marriage). In all you do, raise your thoughts, eyes and desires to Heaven.

Charity Must Begin at Home

DVRodriguez2024-12-01T12:29:50-05:00

Faith, hope, and charity are like a mustard seed. Meant to grow from the moment of baptism, they are essential to the Kingdom of God. Charity means loving God above all things for His own sake and loving our neighbor for the sake of God. We must patiently endure the faults of others, forgive injuries, and do good to our enemies. God also calls us to practice charity towards the souls in Purgatory. To be more effective, sacrifices, prayers and indulgences should be offered with true charity. Look to the teaching and example of the saints, such as St. Gertrude the [...]

Constantly Called to Faith

DVRodriguez2024-03-23T08:02:26-04:00

You that have been in sorrow, exult! These are words a soul hears upon entering Heaven. The only thing that truly matters is that you save your soul. Faith and humility are necessary to save your soul. Prayer, fasting and almsgiving are the best spiritual weapons to fight against sin and to be receptive to grace. He who does not employ these arms will surely be lost. Do not receive God's grace in vain! Make good use of it to get to Heaven.

Reflect Upon the Gravity of Your Sin

DVRodriguez2024-03-13T06:27:34-04:00

Fix your gaze on Jesus. Behold Him that you may love and imitate Him. Lent is a time to leave the world behind and contemplate divine things. Embrace the cross (sufferings, trials and difficulties) for love of God, in reparation for sin, and in preparation for a happy eternity. Lent is a time to seriously reflect on your sin from a heavenly perspective. Sin is the source of ALL the evils and misfortunes that cover the earth. Recognize the gravity of sin and do not think, "Well everybody does it." Receive not the grace of God in vain! He is even [...]
