Hail O Adorable Cross

DVRodriguez2025-04-29T20:20:40-04:00

Easter is the greatest day of the year for we celebrate Christ’s great victory. Yet the resurrection only comes by means of the cross. His cross is the source of all grace and blessings. The liturgy provides many examples of this, such as the Exsultet, the Paschal Candle, the Easter Sequence, and the Veneration of the cross. Keep in mind these two truths: [1] Jesus can never be separated from His cross. [2] in the cross is salvation. We must believe and live by these truths!

Frequently Sigh After Heaven

DVRodriguez2025-04-16T13:30:19-04:00

Our Lord provides a remarkable example: He raises His eyes to Heaven (to pray). The Church begins every Sunday Mass in Lent with a call to prayer. We rejoice today because we go to the House of the Lord, to be with Him in this ‘house of prayer.’ Everyone can pray, no matter their station or condition. Prayer, unlike many other laws or works, has no possible substitute. We often don’t pray as we ought. So don’t just go through the motions but apply yourself to prayer with diligence and care, fervor and devotion, and especially, great faith and love. We [...]

First Seven Councils

DVRodriguez2025-04-30T10:08:25-04:00

[An evening conference given in Northern Kentucky on 31 March 2025.] Insights for today from the first seven Councils of the Church. Questions addressed include: How did the Church resolve issues when Scripture was unclear? How did the Church deal with weak, even false, Councils? Why was a Pope declared a heretic? How did a layman defend the truth before a powerful prelate? How did the State attempt to exercise control over Church dogma? How is Tradition upheld and defended by these Councils?

Living Water from The Rock

DVRodriguez2025-04-06T00:19:48-04:00

Moses led the Hebrews –and Gentiles– in the wilderness. They had no water, which means certain death. God's people were ready to revolt and return to Egypt. Moses interceded, taking an impossible situation to God. But why was Moses unable to enter the Promised Land? Because he struck the rock (Christ) twice instead of obeying God. The two strikes from his wooden staff represent the two beams of a cross. This is a type of the Passion. Just as an abundance of water flowed from the Rock, so too an abundance of grace flows from Christ’s pierced side.

Primer on Prayer

DVRodriguez2025-04-05T21:03:51-04:00

Without the grace of God, man can do nothing towards his salvation. Yet grace is not given, in God’s ordinary providence, except to those who pray for it. Thus prayer is necessary for salvation. We ought to pray unceasingly and give thanks to God in all things. Prayer is an elevation of our soul to God to offer him our homage and ask His favors in order to grow in holiness for His glory. Prayer has four ends: adoration, thanksgiving, importation, and propitiation. We should always pray for: love of God, love of prayer, forgiveness of our sins, and a happy [...]
