Our Lord Weeps for His Flock

DVRodriguez2026-07-30T10:09:20-04:00

The Holy City is to be destroyed by divine punishment. Our Lord weeps. We see His human nature. Our Lord is sorrowful over the state of His Church. Yet He has a great love for His people. In His good time He will save His Church. For our part, we should not get angry, lash out, or attack other Catholics. He has given us so much. Let us therefore be grateful and do what God wants us to do. Pray! …for conversion, that people will reject error, for unity in the Church, that His reign will be on earth.

Helping You Think According to God

DVRodriguez2026-07-22T16:04:03-04:00

Today we continue studying a profession of faith to help enlighten our souls in the face of modern errors regarding the Mass and Catholic worship. The liturgy is a ‘permanent school’ in which the Christian soul is formed. The Mass helps us judge according to eternity, to love what is holy, and to despise what is transient. The Mass leads the Christian to order his whole life to the sacrifice of Christ. It even shapes morals and inspires the arts and customs. Radical changes to Catholic worship have severely weakened our faith and are a cause of today’s grave crisis.

Enlighten Souls in the Face of Modern Errors

DVRodriguez2026-07-22T15:40:06-04:00

Jesus' love is infinite. He also brings us the truth. Never separate His love from His truth. The Priestly Society of St. Pius X recently published a profession of faith. It includes 154 numbered paragraphs delineating what we, as Catholics, profess and reject. Consider for example its confession regarding the Sacred Heart, Christ the King, Our Blessed Mother, and Holy Mother Church. I urge you to study this document. It will help you learn your faith well, especially in the face of errors now so prevalent among the baptized.

Three True Words to Live By

DVRodriguez2026-07-14T13:14:52-04:00

Reflect upon John 16:7, 14:8, and 14:2-3. Christ ascended that the Father and Son might send the Holy Ghost to animate the mystical Body of Christ, leading the Church to all truth and uniting her in charity. Christ promised not to leave us orphans, and keeps His promise in the Sacraments. He ascended that we might strive every day to reach Heaven and spend eternity with Him. Let us be supremely faithful to the Truth and to practicing charity.

When It All Seems Too Much

DVRodriguez2026-07-14T08:31:11-04:00

Cast all your cares upon the Lord; He will sustain you. We forget this so often because we see the evil in the world. We get anxious, overwhelmed, angry, and discouraged (all tricks of the devil). We try to push through but fail. Sometimes we hit rock bottom. God allows this to humble us, so we realize our weakness and how much we need Him. So that we run to Him, fleeing the worst of evils –one venial sin– and are prompted to do penance. When we acknowledge God is in charge of all things, then it doesn’t look so bad. [...]

Mary’s Queenship Honors the Blessed Trinity

DVRodriguez2026-07-14T07:30:44-04:00

Nothing in our holy religion more clearly reveals the great mystery of the Blessed Trinity than the Blessed Virgin Mary. She has a unique relation to each Divine Person, all Three crown her, and all creatures are subject to Mary because all are subject to Christ the King, her Son. By divine decree, Mary has been directly and intimately associated with the entire work of redemption. To deny or denigrate this association is an attack upon the Blessed Trinity. She made perfect use of all the graces God gave her. By imitating her, we glorify and honor God the Holy Ghost.

A Catholic Profession of Faith

DVRodriguez2026-06-03T06:59:29-04:00

Baptism, Faith, and the Church. These three major themes of Eastertide always go together and can’t be separated. God gives us Faith at Baptism through the Church. To be saved one must believe the Faith preached by the Church and be baptized. There Is a great crisis in the Church today because these three are being separated, especially by members of the hierarchy. He that believeth not shall be condemned. Doctrinal errors rampant today are exposed by a ‘Declaration of Catholic Faith’ recently published by a group of traditional Catholics. Women, look to the example of the Church to see what [...]

Adoro Te Devote

DVRodriguez2026-06-01T11:52:13-04:00

The Church presents us with three great Easter themes — Faith, Baptism, Holy Eucharist — and three great Easter professions of Faith. It is very easy to deceive ourselves regarding religion and faith. Anyone who considers himself ‘good’ but does not strive to keep the Faith deceives himself and his faith is in vain. We must be on guard to keep ourselves unspotted from the world, for the world inevitably takes us away from the Faith. A man of faith seeks to grow in faith and act by faith.

The Catholic Walketh by Faith

DVRodriguez2026-05-27T08:14:37-04:00

Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world. The Catholic Faith is the victory which overcometh the world. Faith is God’s free gift to us; it makes eternal life possible. Man must believe the Faith (truth), live by Faith (God’s commandments), and pray according to the Faith (worship revealed by God). It is impossible to please God without the True Faith. The just man – he who acts in accordance with his baptism – guides his thoughts, words, and actions by faith (truths revealed by God), not by his reason, experience, senses, perceptions or feelings.

My Risen Jesus

DVR Fatima2026-05-21T08:57:27-04:00

Prayer from the sermon given on Easter Sunday Why Did Jesus Rise from the Dead? My Risen Jesus, I devoutly kiss and adore the glorious wound of Thy right hand. By this adorable wound, and by Thy most sacred Passion and Resurrection, pardon me all the sins I have committed against Thee in thought, word, and deed. Glory be to the Father . . . My Risen Jesus, I devoutly kiss and adore the glorious wound of Thy left hand. By this adorable wound, and by Thy most sacred Passion and Resurrection, have mercy on me and root out of my [...]
