Many Reject Christ’s Kingship

Jesus Christ is King. This is a great dogma of our faith. All things are created by Him and for Him. The State has an obligation towards Him and man's laws must be subject to His Law. The only way to have peace is for all nations to submit to Christ the King. Yet many so called Christians – even in the Church – reject His kingship. Our presidential candidates do not confess Christ's Kingship. Bishops are not defending this truth. Francis' recent statements are blasphemous and heretical against this doctrine. As small individuals we may not be able to change [...]

The dramatic rise in our use of technology is severely handicapping us. Everything we consume is immediate, fleeting and has to entertain. God is not this way.

Pray that He reign in you. Be faithful to the truth. Adore the virtues in Christ. Render to God that which is His. We were created for Christ and are to offer Him all our being.

Strive for the Eternal not the Perishable

We belong to God. Thus, we must do our very best to fulfill His holy will and our primary focus has to be on the world to come. During November, Holy Mother Church focuses us on the world to come in a more intense manner. She turns our attention to the saints and poor souls in Purgatory, reminding us that the Church is much more than those here on earth. On the other hand, a common trait shared by the three enemies of our soul's salvation is 'the insatiable craving for things perishable with complete forgetfulness of things eternal.' The more one learns [...]
