Are Our Customs and Habits Too Secular?

2024-01-04T09:12:57-05:00

We form our ideas, habits and custom from our childhood and if that is reinforced over time, it becomes who we are and how we live. At the root of the grave crisis in the Church is secularization. Too many Catholics have allowed the secular world to completely overrun our customs. We must begin to change this. It will not happen overnight. Take small steps in the right direction. How can you include more silence, prayer, recollection, and detachment from the world in your daily routine and celebration of Advent and Christmas? Because Christmas is not about cookies, eggnog and parties. [...]

A Wicked Voice in the Vatican

2024-01-02T06:46:39-05:00

The world we live in is pagan; we must broadcast the Gospel everywhere to bring all to the obedience of faith. Today the Faith is being destroyed from the inside. We have had wicked popes, but none have tried to impose their [lack of] morality upon the Church. Yet Scripture and Tradition have  prepared us. We know the truth, because the Catholic Faith is what has been believed everywhere (universality), always (antiquity) and by all (consensus). What to do? Get on your knees and ask our Blessed Lady to protect our faith. Pray to have have the strength to live according to the [...]

Day of Joy and Pardon

2024-01-01T07:38:58-05:00

Christ was born to save sinners [us!] at midnight in Bethlehem in piercing cold. What a wondrous night of joy, of salvation, and of of pardon. Yet we must acknowledge sin as sin and not dismiss it under a pretext of focusing on the "positive." Otherwise, Christmas loses its true meaning. Let us not fail to ask Him for the great spiritual graces He wishes to grant this day. The shepherds brought their gifts; you must also bring your gifts to Him. What will you bring to Him?

New Scandalous Vatican Document

2023-12-30T22:19:16-05:00

Fiducia Supplicans, the latest scandalous document from the Vatican, is a direct contradiction of the truths of the four great comings of Christ. Only one without faith in Christ could author or support this document. It is truly diabolical and the height of sinister modernism, attempting to create a new kind of "pastoral" blessing. The truth is that God calls us to repent, to convert, and turn away from sin. Christ came to give us the grace and strength to overcome sin and to be able to make heroic sacrifices. Sadly, only a few Catholic bishops have given faithful public responses. [...]

¿Qué Significa Amar a Jesús?

2023-12-26T14:27:21-05:00

Contempla al Divino Niño para que te inspire a amarle. Suplícale que te conceda la gracia de amarle por encima de todo. Meditemos los escritos de San Juan, Apóstol del Amor, y de San Alfonso, considerando las siguientes preguntas. ¿Qué trajo a Dios del Cielo para nacer en una cueva? ¿Cuál es el verdadero sentido de la Navidad? ¿Qué relación tiene la Navidad con la Sagrada Eucaristía?

Three Marian Advent Feasts of Salvation

2023-12-26T05:49:04-05:00

The very name "Jesus" means "God saves." All His comings (advents) have to do with the salvation of souls. We pray: O Lord show us Thy mercy and grant us Thy salvation. Can there be a more important prayer? And this God answers through the Blessed Virgin Mary. Consider the Church's three feasts of December 8, 10, and 12. They emphasize: the glory and power of God, the purity we require, true faith, true worship, and our duty to form homes where we work out our salvation. God created Our Lady and made her our Mother to show us His mercy [...]

Dos Cosas Constituyen Mi Cielo en la Tierra

2023-12-27T07:56:17-05:00

En su primer nacimiento, Jesús nos dice: "He venido para que el pecador que ha muerto resucite a la vida". Lo mismo nos dice cuando nace en la Eucaristía, añadiendo: 'Y yo he venido para que el justo que tiene vida, la tenga en abundancia, avance en la gracia y crezca de virtud en virtud'. Lo mejor que podemos hacer por Navidad es ofrecer a Jesús todos los afectos de nuestro corazón y desear no separarnos nunca de Él. Escuchemos la enseñanza de los santos sobre la Eucaristía.

The Advent Wreath

2023-12-22T08:21:13-05:00

The Advent Wreath is full of rich symbolism. The circular shape evokes eternity and the evergreen represents hope and renewal. Purple stands for penance and rose for joy. Each colored candle represents a millennia and a person(s). A blessed and lighted candle always symbolizes Christ. Each candle also represents a great truth about Christ: [1] He will come again in power to judge all. [2] He will judge me at the moment of my death. [3] Jesus comes to me with His grace, now, especially at Mass. [4] Jesus came in the flesh to save us - to save me. Hope [...]

The Conscience of Man

2023-12-26T05:48:23-05:00

God gave man a connection to Him - an interior voice, a conscience. St. John the Baptist is a symbol of that voice. We can chose to heed or suppress our conscience; yet, man only finds peace when he listens to it. The conscience is a proof of the soul's immortality. It witnesses, bonds and incites; it also accuses, torments, and rebukes. It incites a holy anger (hatred) against sin, so that man roots out faults instead of justifying them. Make friends with your adversary (conscience) before you are handed over to the Judge.

Hope and Daring

2023-12-17T12:04:51-05:00

When you rise and when yo go to bed, ask yourself these two questions: [1] What drives you or fuels your desire? [2] What are you afraid of? We often know what we have to do but fail to do it because of something we fear. What keeps us from giving ourselves to God, and neighbor, as we are meant to do? During Advent, the Church calls to mind the example of St. John the Baptist and the Immaculate Conception. Saints change the world because they do what what others dare not. They achieve great virtue by their hope (the virtue [...]
