Divine Maternity of Mary

DVRodriguez2023-10-29T12:12:33-04:00

The central mystery of Our Lady's life –from which all her mysteries, privileges and perfection flow– is her Divine Motherhood. It is the reason God graced her as immaculately conceived, sinless, and perpetual virgin. Her assumption into Heaven and crowning as Queen are likewise rooted therein. It is also why she is Mediatrix of all Graces and our Spiritual Mother. In fact, all of Our Lady's apparitions manifest both her divine maternity and her spiritual motherhood of all the faithful.

Our Lady’s Eternal Thanksgiving and Greatest Sorrow

DVRodriguez2023-10-30T22:51:28-04:00

The Blessed Virgin Mary united herself to her Son's Sacrifice in an all together unique way. Her participation in His Passion and Death was so profound, that she truly merited the title of Co-Redemptrix. Her thoughts and actions, as detailed in the Mystical City of God, provide an ideal model for how we are called to truly participate at Mass.

Tower of Faith and of Truth

DVRodriguez2023-10-24T14:05:57-04:00

There is a terrible crisis afflicting the Church. It revolves about unimaginable loss of faith. And the depth of the crisis is accelerating. Simply consider how Catholics today view Mass and Marriage. Or how Catholics are asking, "What if the Church changes this or that teaching?" Take time to examine your own deficiencies in the faith. Pray the Rosary well, for it is a tower of salvation against the assaults of the devil. Never abandon the holy Rosary!

Immaculate and Sorrowful Heart of Mary

DVRodriguez2023-10-24T14:08:33-04:00

Devotion to Our Lady's Immaculate Heart means to know and imitate her love and perfect charity: [1] her love for God, [2] for Jesus Christ, [3] and her maternal love for us, her spiritual children. These three loves lead us to reflect upon three stages of her life: [1] annunciation / incarnation; [2] passion and death of her Son; [3] Mediatrix and Queen in Heaven. Truly, her heart is sorrowful. The fact that she willingly suffers so much is one of the greatest signs of the immensity of her love. And by her suffering she gives us a perfect example of [...]

Synod Follows Path of Devils not of Angels

DVRodriguez2023-10-10T07:31:04-04:00

October is a month dedicated to the Rosary and holy angels. The angels reflect God's glory as images of His perfections. Consider what St. Michael defends and promotes: the glory of God; the Church; the Blessed Virgin Mary; the Holy Eucharist; the Pope; and true doctrine and true worship. St. Michael fights against the enemies of God who seek to undermine, change and destroy the holy things of God. Lucifer attempted it before creation. Today, we see Francis and his synod undermining the Deposit of Faith (foundational truths revealed by God and necessary for our salvation). We are in the midst [...]

Why Our Lady Weeps

DVRodriguez2023-10-13T09:32:04-04:00

The sorrows of the Mother of God give insight into every aspect of our faith. Her sorrows are not just something of the past but also of the present. She wept at LaSalette because God's holy law was being profaned. Consider how she must be weeping today as Francis and his synod seeks to undermine the Church and destroy the holiest things of God. This synod is the work of the devil. Now a bishop who defends the truth is persecuted by the Vatican. Pray to share in the sentiments of Our Lady's Immaculate Heart. Offer your Rosary as reparation in [...]

The Immaculate Heart and Holy Mass

DVRodriguez2023-10-06T16:08:32-04:00

At the heart of the Message of Fatima is the Immaculate Heart of Mary. She is our refuge and the way that leads us to God. This Message carries graces particularly necessary for our times. Her Immaculate Heart also shows us how to truly and actively participate at Mass. Strive to keep in your heart the five primary sentiments which are in hers. Devotion to her Immaculate Heart, fostered also by reparation and the First Saturday devotion, will lead us to a profound union of hearts with her Son.

The Assumption The Mass Union with Christ

DVRodriguez2023-09-29T08:50:39-04:00

"By the grace of God I am what I am and His grace in me has not been void." This passage from today's epistle aptly summarizes the life of St. Paul. But it should also hold true for each one of us. And it is especially applicable to Our Lady, in whom we see the grandeur and effectiveness of God's grace when man cooperates with God. The mysteries of Our Lady, which show her always full of grace and increasing in grace throughout her life, also reflect what God desires for each of us. The goal of Our Lady's Assumption, and [...]

To Undergo a Mystical Death

DVRodriguez2023-09-29T09:03:01-04:00

One who "walks in the Spirit of God" is not guided by the world or governed by his natural likes and inclinations, The Holy Ghost is always opposed to our three-fold concupiscence: lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, of the pride of life. On a practical level, if I am not fighting constantly against these, then I am not being led by the Spirit of God. The Mass is meant to help us overcome this fallen tendency. Yet one must strive to have the same dispositions Christ had upon the cross. One must deny himself and freely do penance [...]

Even Greater Than the Transfiguration

Could anything be more important than being in the presence of Jesus in His glory? Anywhere else one rather be? St. Peter on Mt. Tabor give us a good model for how we should respond to Holy Mass: "Lord, it is good for us to be here!" The Council of Trent teaches we must attend Mass with devotion and purity (exterior) and a pure heart (interior). What is a pure heart? Consider the visions of St. Mechtilde.
