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 [...]

The Supreme Dignity of Man

DVRodriguez2023-08-27T12:25:32-04:00

What will help us most, in our spiritual and material well-being, is true and faithful participation in the Holy Sacfrice of the Mass. This applies to every single person. The best thing we can do for our neighbor is help him carry out this chief duty, which is also his supreme dignity. Strive to have the dispositions Jesus had when He offered Himself. (See Pius XII's Mediator Dei, No, 80-81.) Deny yourself, do penance, detest sin, offer reparation, and die a mystical death: to your will, you desires, and your sense of self-importance.

What Is a Man?

DVRodriguez2023-08-13T09:53:00-04:00

A man is essentially a copy of Jesus Christ. The more a man conforms to his original, the more truly a man he becomes. The devil, father of all lies, seeks to pervert the truth, telling us the exemplar is an ape or single cell amoeba. (How crazy is that!) Man is a thinker. He loves truth. He uses reason and proper moderation to bring order. He remains calm and modest. He is just and religious, giving each man his due and his first fruits to God. Man looks for obstacles to overcome and rewards to gain. He needs someone to [...]

Adoration Protection and Reparation

DVRodriguez2022-10-06T08:38:44-04:00

How often do you think about the Precious Blood, the price Our Lord paid for your redemption? In order to be cleansed of sin, we need the application to our souls of this Precious Blood. Adore and invoke the Precious Blood. Even little children can offer this prayer: 'Blood of Jesus, help me!' Recall one of His seven sheddings each day of the week and beg for the specific graces associated with it. Reparation is also essential St. Veronica, pray for us.

Participate at Mass Through the Precious Blood

DVRodriguez2021-07-24T10:47:10-04:00

The Mystery of the Precious Blood is extremely important to our Catholic Faith and the truth about God. It is very neglected today and few appreciate it. This is one of the reasons why we are suffering through such a grave crisis of Faith. The Feast of the Precious Blood was eliminated from the new liturgical calendar; yet Holy Mother Church's tradition dedicates the entire month of July to this Mystery. In order to believe in God, you must believe in the Precious Blood. It is deeply connected to the Message of Our Lady at Fatima. A marvelous way to participate [...]

Critical Theory is Destroing Our Nation

DVRodriguez2021-07-12T10:33:24-04:00

'Critical Theory' is being advanced in every facet of society. Fueled by lies, it compels men to see structural and systemic evils in all of traditional western civilization. It promotes self hate, alienation, and despair. Why? Because it is ultimately a marxist ploy aimed at furthering global revolution to enthrone a new world order based on the errors of Russia. Our country does have its original sins. It failed to recognize God as the source of authority, embraced naturalism and free masonic principles, and did not proclaim the social kingship of Christ. However, we do well to appreciate the good in [...]

Good and Bad Change Agents

DVRodriguez2020-11-13T21:49:50-05:00

The Marxists of our time are 'change agents' who wish to destabilize society so as to transform it. In their view, they are like the alchemists of old who seek a catalyst (social disorder, violence, lies) to transmute these lead-like times into a golden dawn of the New Age. They are sadly misled. They seek to foment disorder, disenchantment, unforgiveness and vengeance to bring about 'good change'. Instead all we get is more hatred, death and destruction! We must avoid becoming wrathful and vengeful. We must be patient and endure, keep a cool head and grace-filled hearts. We may of course defend ourselves, our [...]

Of Masks and Blood

DVRodriguez2020-11-13T21:49:50-05:00

'I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery'. Sadly, many will even surrender fundamental liberties to obtain a perceived level of security. Unfortunately, it is usually only an illusion as man relinquishes his God-given rights. Today we have entered into an Orwellian society. We have double-speak and double-think. Policies are arbitrary and reversed on a dime. Authorities expand their reach into our lives. With the Church, let us then turn our attention to the Precious Blood our Lord shed for us. The shedding of blood always has to be avenged, as we learn from the Old Testament. And without the shedding of blood [...]

Heaven Intervenes Only As Last Resort

svfonline2019-08-05T08:39:03-04:00

Angels and saints are standing by as a vast army ready to help the Catholic Church assure the victory; why do they delay? Everyone seems to be looking only to this extraordinary Divine intervention. Yet, miraculous aid will only follow after the ordinary has been accomplished and proven insufficient. Using other words, historically, God only works miracles when the normal means have failed. Heaven intervenes when man has done his part! Have we really done our part in making the normal means work? How well do we fulfill the duties of our state in life (consider reviewing them here for Christians, [...]
