Our Lady Co-Redemptrix by Her Maternity

2025-12-12T17:10:02-05:00

All the elect are called to cooperate with Our Lord in His work of the redemption of the world. Seriously take this to heart, because it is the purpose of your life. You are supposed to be cooperating with Our Lord in the salvation of the world, first your own salvation and then the salvation of those God places in your life. Our Lady has three distinct rights to the title Co-Redemptrix. In the same sense as the elect, but to a decree which no others approach, Mary cooperated in the salvation of all. Then, in a manner which no other [...]

Our Lady’s Heart Serves as Our Model

2025-12-11T15:05:55-05:00

Many prayers used by the Church at Holy Mass come from the Psalms. These reveal to us the heart of prayer and the Heart of Mary (e.g. today’s Offertory from Ps 30). Having true devotion to the Immaculate Heart means striving to model our heart after Mary’s. Seek to receive Holy Communion with her heart. Seek to pray with the dispositions of her heart. Seek to fulfill your daily duty with her mindset. Above all, accept trails and difficulties with the spirit of Our Lady.

La Virgen María es Corredentora

2025-12-11T13:50:44-05:00

Aclaremos la doctrina que la Virgen María merece el título de corredentora. Su coperación maternal fue indispensable y dependía de ella individualmente. Sus dolores -que llamamos su compasión- dan una nueva dimensión a la Pasión de Cristo y, por voluntad divina, se incluyen en los sufrimientos de Cristo mediante los cuales obtuvo la redención de todos los elegidos. Esta doctrina sobre María aclara y protege la verdad de la obra redentora de su Hijo y la verdad de que Dios llama a cada cristiano a participar en la obra de la redención.

Son Pocos los Cristianos Verdaderos

2025-12-09T08:56:14-05:00

En el mundo hay dos bandos: los de Jesús (que son pocos) y los del mundo y el diablo (que son muy numerosos). Los cristianos deben comenzar y terminar cada día con la Señal de la Santa Cruz. Deben ser valientes y unidos, como cruzados, para luchar contra el mundo con todas sus fuerzas. San Luis de Montfort nos enseña que el verdadero cristiano es un amigo de la Cruz. El mejor ejemplo nos lo da la Santísima Virgen María. Esforcémonos por imitarla.

Our Lady Co-Redemptrix By Her Greatness

2025-12-07T20:31:42-05:00

Know five principles that help us understand Christ’s work of redemption, our own role in salvation, and the absolutely unique role of Our Lady as Co-redemptrix. Jesus is the sole Redeemer. Yet all the elect cooperate with Him in this work. We do this in a secondary dependent sense and by participation in Christ. The more holiness you acquire, the more you can help others. There is nothing greater you can do for someone than to cooperate in their salvation. Our Lady’s role is far greater than all the angels and saints combined and qualitatively different from how we “fill up [...]

Three Miraculous Marian Images

2025-11-17T10:07:27-05:00

To help you be more devoted to the image of the Immaculate and Sorrowful Heart of Mary, consider these three miraculous images. Our Lady of Montallegro in Ramalla Italy (1557) was brought by angels from Greece. Carmelite monks in Vilnius, Lithuania built a chapel to honor Our Lady at the Gate of the Dawn. And Mary promised a particular grace of devotion to all who venerated her image of Our Lady of Confidence, especially with the aspiration ‘My Mother, my confidence.” Our Lady will continue to work great miracles through those images which she chooses. After all, as St. John Eudes [...]

Our Lady Co-Redemptrix By Her Dolors

2025-11-16T21:53:03-05:00

Our Lord is the sole redeemer of the world. We are each called to cooperate in His Redemption. Mary participates in the redemption as we do, but to a much greater degree. Moreover, she then also cooperates uniquely in Christ's redemptive work via her divine maternity and her sorrows. It is by His passion and death that Christ saves us. Our Lady's compassion with Christ had the same character of sacrifice and expiation as Our Lord's passion. In fact, God willed that Our Lady's sorrows form an integral part of Christ's saving passion.

Cristo Rey Contra el Liberalismo

2025-11-15T11:10:08-05:00

Todas las cosas, en el cielo y en la tierra, visibles e invisibles, fueron creadas en Cristo – por Él y para Él. Todo sin excepción debe estar sujeto a Cristo y debe servir a Cristo. Tristemente, vivimos en un mundo que se opone a la realeza de Cristo, y frecuentemente pensamos según el liberalismo, una gran herejía. El liberalismo es una filosofía moderna que enseña que los seres humanos tienen derecho a decidir por sí mismos las normas que rigen su vidas, de ser árbitros del bien y el mal, que los individuos tienen derecho a pensar y creer lo [...]

Persecución de Los Sacerdotes Buenos

2025-11-13T06:10:51-05:00

Por fidelidad a Cristo, buenos sacerdotes están siendo perseguidos por la jerarquía. El Padre habla de su situación personal y como el obispo ha publicado decretos falsos contra él. Pero esto está sucediendo por toda la Iglesia. Desgraciadamente, los procesos canónicos destinados a defender la verdad y la justicia se han corrompido de manera flagrante. Algunos de los pastores peores están siendo colocados en altos cargos de poder. Es imperativo que recemos por la Iglesia. Recemos por la conversión de la jerarquía. ¡Y apoyemos a nuestros fieles sacerdotes! Una oración poderosísima es el Rosario, pero hay que esforzarnos para rezar bien.

Good Priests Are Being Persecuted

2025-11-04T10:43:40-05:00

On account of their fidelity to Christ, good priests are being persecuted by those who wield ecclesial authority over them! This is happening throughout the entire Church. The canonical processes which are intended to uphold truth and justice have become blatantly corrupt. Some of the very worst pastors are being placed into high positions of power. It is imperative that we pray for the Church. Pray for the conversion of the hierarchy. And support your faithful priests! An extremely powerful prayer is the Rosary, but we must use it well. While the Rosary consists of both meditative and vocal prayer, it [...]
