Greatest of All Apparitions

DVRodriguez2024-09-28T22:46:15-04:00

Catholics follow many devotions and apparitions, yet 99% do not know the full Message of Fatima. This is a glaring red flag because Fatima is the greatest of all apparitions and the one most necessary for our time. No other apparition has received as much papal approval or so great a sign of divine confirmation. Every Catholic must know about the First Saturday Devotion and the need for Russia’s Consecration. St. John Eudes also gives us reasons why devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is so important.

To Really Believe in the Assumption

DVRodriguez2024-10-02T12:36:20-04:00

Many mysteries are commemorated in the Assumption. They are a window into the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our Lady stayed on earth making the greatest sacrifice to help build up the Church and propagate the Faith. These mysteries teach us how to live as faithful Catholics. We must persevere in God’s grace, greatly desire Heaven, not be attached to this earth, and prepare for a holy death.

Our Lady Requests Churches Be Built

DVRodriguez2024-09-15T21:59:39-04:00

In the heat of Rome's summer, Our Lady dropped snow to indicate where the greatest church in her honor was to be built. St. Mary Major is home to both the manger from Bethlehem and Salus Populi Romani, St. Luke's miraculous painting of Madonna and Child. Our Blessed Mother is inseparable from Her Divine Son. Jesus chooses to enter the world – and our life – through her! At many of her apparitions, Our Lady requests a church be built, not only to receive our prayers and come to our aid, but to renew the Sacrifice of Her Son. Strive to [...]

Practice devotion to the Most Precious Blood! This is outstanding way to participate in Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

The Saints and the Precious Blood

DVRodriguez2024-08-25T16:18:11-04:00

May the saints who had a a great devotion to the Precious Blood be our guides in participating more fruitfully at Holy Mass. They help us believe in – and focus our attention upon – Our Lord's great mysteries. Saints Mechtilde, Mary Magdalene de Pazzi, Margaret Mary Alacoque, John Vianney and St. Dominic are but a few examples. At Mass, Our Lord presents His wounds to His Heavenly Father. Upon seeing them, the Father forgives us. We too should look upon His wounds, for it will move us to repent of our sins. His Precious Blood shall move us to confidence [...]

Saint Longinus

DVRodriguez2024-09-08T21:31:02-04:00

St. Longinus was present both at the crucifixion and the resurrection. He was miraculously healed and instructed by the Apostles. Refusing to worship demons, he was tortured and martyred. Yet he preserved relics of the Precious Blood for all generations. We have access to the Precious Blood at Mass; but we must exercise Faith. The Sacraments are like seven channels by which the salvific stream of the Precious Blood flows to mankind. At every Mass, the shedding of His Blood blood is repeated in a manner imperceptible to our senses. How ardently do you believe –and live– this great truth?

Know Them By Their Fruits

DVRodriguez2024-08-02T16:40:18-04:00

We must learn to pray as Holy Mother Church prays. Make petitions in union with her solemn prayer. It is clear that many of us are failing in our fundamental duty. We are living through the consequences thereof. Discern the false shepherds by their fruits. Consider as well the wondrous fruits of the Precious Blood. His Blood is shed for us at Holy Mass. Do you really believe?

Grant Us An Increase of Religion

DVRodriguez2024-07-26T19:10:43-04:00

The Mass' Collect Prayer is a solemn petition on the part of the Universal Church. Today we ask God, "Graft in our hearts love for Thy Name and grant us an increase of religion." Religion is the highest moral virtue; by it we render to God the worship and honor due to God. This virtue necessitates being convinced of God's greatness and our own nothingness. It calls us to overcome our self-love and pride, both great obstacles which prevent us from loving God. At Mass, make a special effort to consider the Sacred Heart. "O Jesus, take my heart and change [...]

Take My Heart and Change It

DVRodriguez2024-07-23T13:24:05-04:00

Most Catholics never learn what it truly means to participate at Mass or having a true conversion of heart. The Sacred Heart is instrumental in these matters. He manifests His love to us especially from the crib in Bethlehem, the Cross on Calvary, and the Holy Eucharist in every church. Yet this Heart which loves without limit is not loved in return. At Mass, look to share the sentiments of the Sacred Heart. Pray for the grace to change your heart!

Participate at Mass with Faith

DVRodriguez2024-07-09T13:29:53-04:00

Man's chief duty is to participate in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. it is not enough for one to simply be present. How many times are we distracted and daydreaming? Rather we must assist with earnestness and concentration, uniting ourselves with Christ the High Priest. Note, what is most essential to our participation is not perceptible to our senses. Rather, it is of the Faith. If the majority of us don't participate well, then what will happen to our families and our Church? "Eternal Father, permit to offer Thee the Heart of my Savior Jesus Christ."
