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.
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 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 [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
Motherhood is so important, that in the order of grace, God gives us two mothers: His own Mother and the Church. The world devalues motherhood because it is so lost. Resist this temptation. Look to the Immaculate Heart of Mary to be your model. Pray that the Holy Ghost will shape your heart after hers. Three recommendations: [1] Our Lady never ceases praying and offering sacrifices for us her children. Imitate her. [2] Live and teach the virtues opposite the great vices of heresy, blasphemy and impurity. [3] Feed and nourish you children spiritually. Bring them to the Holy Eucharist.
Durante la Octava de Pascua, la Iglesia nos da ejemplo tras ejemplo de la suma importancia de creer en Cristo Resucitado. El bautismo y la Fe verdadera resaltan en los evangelios de esta semana, pues en estos dos temas se enfoque el tiempo pascual. Por ejemplo, el Gran Mandamiento que Jesús deja a sus Apóstoles y a su Santa Iglesia es: enseñar a todas las naciones la verdad y bautizarlas. Es decir, llamar todo el mundo a la fe - a creer en Él.
In the Mystery of the Holy Eucharist, Our Savior Jesus Christ gives us the gift of Himself, so that every single time we approach this great Mystery, we are able to express our Faith in Him. We should tell Him, from the depths of our heart, that we love Him above all things and that we desire to possess Him in our soul. To strengthen your Eucharistic Faith: [1] See in the human priest of flesh and blood that Jesus Christ is always the Eternal High Priest at Mass. [2] Detach your heart from the things of this world. [3] Turn [...]
¡Cristo venció la muerte y resucito! Nuestro Señor ha abierto las puertas de la eternidad. Reflexionemos en la conexión importantísima entre la resurrección, el bautismo, y la Pasión y Muerte de Jesucristo. Tristemente, la fiesta pascual no tiene el efecto que debe en las vidas de muchos católicos porque se alejan de la pasión y cruz de Cristo. En vez, debemos ser guiados por las oraciones de la santa liturgia y seguir el ejemplo de la Virgen Santísima. Así seremos llenados con una alegría indescriptible
The mission of the Holy Ghost is to bring Christ's work of redemption to fulfillment. He brings to souls the grace merited by Our Savior in His Passion and Death. He judges the world as to wether one believes and accepts - or rejects - Christ. Just as our Lady cooperated uniquely with Christ in Redemption, so she cooperates uniquely with the Holy Ghost in His mission, particularly through her apparition at at Fatima. She comes to warn the world of sin and judgment. She also brings the grace of her Son in a beautiful and special way, through devotion to [...]
