Participate at Mass Through the Precious Blood

2021-07-24T10:47:10-04:00

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 [...]

Dar Lugar al Espíritu Santo

2021-07-22T08:53:01-04:00

Un aspecto esencial de la misión del Espíritu Santo es la santificación y salvación de las almas. Para dar lugar al Espíritu Santo uno tiene que echar fuera el espíritu del mundo, de la carne, y del egoísmo. Una clave para discernir la acción del Espíritu Santo es mantenerse fiel al credo y a la oración, es decir, a la dogma de fe y la liturgia perenne. (Noten que no se ha mantenido esta fidelidad en la iglesia desde el Segundo Concilio Vaticano.) Todos los dones del Espíritu Santo son para la salvación del alma. Tenemos que amar - y defender [...]

Two Great Obstacles to Grace

2021-07-24T10:47:26-04:00

The Church gives us the lengthy time of Pentecost to grow in grace. There are two great obstacles which prevent us from responding to the Holy Ghost: the world and the flesh. These are ever-present and unceasingly attack us. Do your best to constantly fight against these two nefarious influences upon your soul.

Affirm the Real Presence

2021-07-12T08:10:16-04:00

True Faith in Jesus Christ means that we MUST receive Our Lord in Holy Communion - for He has commanded this! It is not just a faith of words or feeling, but the act of receiving the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ and conforming our life to this truth. If we truly believe, we must do our best to receive Him well; to fast, to prepare well and to thank Him abundantly. An excellent preparation is to renew your baptismal vows and make an Act of Fatih as our First Communicant does.

Walk in the Spirit

2021-07-12T07:10:58-04:00

The Catholic religion exists in order to make the Mystery of the Holy Trinity known and to glorify God. We give Him glory by praising and adoring Him, by thanking and loving Him, by serving Him, and by leading other souls to Him. Reflect upon this often and ask yourself each day, "Am I glorifying God?" How does man render special glory to God the Holy Ghost? By obeying Him, by responding well to the graces He offers, and by begging Him for more grace. Yet how can one differentiate the Holy Ghost's promptings from the devil, the world, and the [...]

St Alphonsus on Queenship of Mary

2021-06-28T03:52:47-04:00

In the Church's prayers, we address Mary as Queen. St. Alphonsus explains her queenship. As Our Lady's merits exceed that of all the saints and angels, so too does her glory. Let us dedicate ourselves to the service of our Heavenly Queen.

Vatican Two Had the Spirit of the World

2021-06-28T03:49:36-04:00

This Pentecost, we highlight just one aspect of the Holy Ghost's mission, that of sanctifying and saving souls. In order to receive the Holy Ghost, we have to 'make space' for Him. In so far as one is filled with the spirit of the world, of the flesh, and of self-love, one does not allow Him to work in our souls. The choking spirit of the world is ubiquitous within the Church. The doors were flung wide for this false spirit at Vatican 2 and it remains the single greatest source of the Church's evils today. Note how tell-tale signs of [...]

La Santa Comunión y Fátima

2021-06-13T07:04:46-04:00

La misión del Espíritu Santo es completar la obra redentora de Cristo. Êl nos santifica, derramando la gracia que Cristo mereció. Esta misión también es la de la Santísima Virgen Maria. En Fátima, ella advierta de los grandes peligros que esperan a los que no creen en Cristo y no se convierten. Fátima da una gran importancia a la doctrina católica, a caminar en Fe, al bautismo, y a la Santa Comunión. Hay conexión profunda entre la crisis en la fe, la crisis en la Santa Misa y Eucaristía, y la desobediencia al mensaje de la Virgen en Fátima. Para oponer [...]

Fe en Cristo es Una Fe Eucarística

2021-06-13T07:35:13-04:00

Estamos aquí en la tierra para creer que Jesús es el Cristo y el Hijo de Dios, y para que creyendo tengamos vida eterna en Él. Todos los oraciones de la octava pascual ponen hincapié en la fe - específicamente en el bautismo y la fe eucarística. ¡Sin tal fe, uno no realmente puede creer en Jesús! Este año pasado has sido claro que tan pobre y pequeña es la fe eucarística dentro de la iglesia católica. En vez de que Jesús influye todo lo que hacemos, es el virus y la vacuna que influyen todas nuestras decisiones y acciones. ¿Qué [...]

Mission of Grace and Truth

2021-06-05T06:59:58-04:00

The mission of the Holy Ghost is to give testimony of Jesus by leading men into all truth and bestowing that grace which divinizes souls, forming Jesus Christ in them. But He does not do this work alone. He does it in union with the Blessed Virgin Mary. This pattern is clearly seen at the Incarnation and at Pentecost. He descends in response to Mary's prayer, faith and love. With the Holy Ghost, Our Lady forms Christ in souls, enabling one to think and act like her Son. With the Holy Ghost, Our Lady always witnesses to the truth. For example, [...]
