Our Lady Co-Redemptrix By Her Greatness

DVRodriguez2025-12-07T20:31:42-05:00

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

DVRodriguez2025-11-17T10:07:27-05:00

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

DVRodriguez2025-11-16T21:53:03-05:00

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

DVRodriguez2025-11-15T11:10:08-05:00

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

DVRodriguez2025-11-13T06:10:51-05:00

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

DVRodriguez2025-11-04T10:43:40-05:00

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 [...]

Blasphemous Philosophy of Liberalism

DVRodriguez2025-11-04T10:44:06-05:00

The philosophy of liberalism has infected our minds and our hearts. We must fight against this heresy with all our strength. In brief, liberalism is the error that man (as an individual or as a society) has the right to decide the norms by which he will regulate his life, that he is the arbiter of right and wrong, or that he may think and believe whatsoever he wills. The truth is that ALL things - visible and invisible – were created in Christ, by Christ, and for Christ (Col 1:16). Everything without exception must be subject to Christ and serve [...]

Saint Joachim

DVRodriguez2025-10-21T13:54:22-04:00

Saint Joachim is the patron of fathers, grandparents and married couples. His name means “Preparation for the Lord.” The glory and intercessory power that St. Joachim has are proportioned to the merit and dignity of being the Father of Mary and grandfather of Jesus. In fact, the more grace a soul possesses, the more powerful are its prayers. (Our prayers are often weakly effective for we lack grace.) The grace which a soul possesses at the moment of death is the grace it will have for all eternity. Rightly then is Our Lady called the Mightiest Helper of the Christian people.

Called to Be Especially Devoted to the Immaculate and Sorrowful Heart

DVRodriguez2025-10-20T10:49:21-04:00

Our Lady’s Immaculate and Sorrowful Heart has loved God more purely and ardently than all the holy hearts of angels and saints combined. God used the blood in her heart to create the human nature of His Son. Christ depended upon His Mother’s Heart for His existence. Mary’s heart preserves and glorifies the marvelous mysteries of Her Son’s life, passion, death and resurrection. This is in fact the very mission of the Church. It is also an aim of the Rosary. We all need conversion and Mary’s heart serves as a marvelous ‘road map’ in this necessary work. Being devoted to [...]
