Prayer

Religion and Piety

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

We must ask the Holy Ghost for His light to enlighten our minds, strengthen our wills and inflame our hearts. Without the Holy Ghost we cannot love rightly (our love is self-centered, self-seeking and weak). In order to bring forth any good fruit, we need the Holy Ghost. Pray for an increase in the virtue of religion (i.e. rendering due honor and glory to God). Pray too for the corresponding virtue of piety (an interior disposition by which we truly love God as our Father). By religion we carry out our duties to God in an exterior way. This is certainly important and necessary. Yet [...]

Recover the Majesty of God

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

Christ our Savior made a great sacrifice to which all are invited. But many make excuses, having more 'important' things to do. Consider our situation today. So many have 'Covid related excuses' for canceling or missing Mass. God desires us to give Him glory and make Him first in our life. The most important way we do this is by uniting ourselves to the glory that only Christ can give God, and that is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. If the Mass is set aside, it is impossible to give just and due glory to God! Yet we are 'too [...]

The Passion Keeps the Devil at Bay

DVRodriguez2020-03-15T08:32:46-04:00

Christian meditation is reflecting upon a mystery of Christ and thereby making it real to ourselves. The devils do all they can to prevent us from such meditation as they can't easily find entrance into a soul unless they first deprive it of all holy thoughts. With the growing rise in the occult today, how much more important it is for us to increase such prayer. Christian meditation is most especially effective when focused on the Passion of Our Lord and Savior. For example, consider that at the end of time, the Cross and all the instruments of the Passion, will be carried by angles [...]

Pray Fervently to God

svfonline2019-10-28T12:46:12-04:00

Apostasy is the voluntary and conscious rejection of Christ by one who has been a Christian. How are we to preserve and live our beloved Catholic Faith in this time of widespread apostasy? The apostasy was already raging in the time of Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903), and has only progressively worsened. That saintly pontiff provided us with an admirable three-pronged plan. First, we must offer fervent prayer, for it wins certain help from God. We are at a point where natural solutions are wholly insufficient and only supernatural aid will overcome the evil. Only God - and Our Lady - can help us now. [...]

Our Prayers as Marys Cargo

svfonline2019-08-23T17:15:02-04:00

The Vigil of the Assumption is meant to be a little 'one day Lent' to prepare for the great feast of Our Lady's Assumption, body and soul. Our Lady is able to take all our prayers, each and everyone of them, with her to Heaven. Nothing hinders her. An excellent example of this is seen in the Fatima Event. She does indeed care for us and has an open ear. Let us, then, add our petitions to her freight and have confidence in her great intercessory power.
