If Only We Knew How Much He Loves Us

DVRodriguez2025-07-14T07:37:30-04:00

The infinite love of God is the foundation of devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The love of the most Holy Trinity overflowed into Jesus’ adorable Heart and led him to shed His blood for our salvation. His Heart made the crib, the cross, and the altar; three great signs of His infinite love. His Heart formed the Church, established the Sacraments, sent the Holy Ghost, and gave us Mary for our Mother. Devotion to the Sacred Heart is for everyone!

Every Aspect of the Faith Points to the Holy Trinity

DVRodriguez2025-07-13T15:07:12-04:00

God is all powerful, all wise, and all good [love]. God is One in three divine Persons: the Holy Trinity. This is life’s central mystery. It has implications for how we live. Man exists to give glory and honor to each Person of the Trinity. The family is called to reflect the Blessed Trinity. The Holy Family makes this Mystery concrete and is a perfect reflection of the Blessed Trinity.

Christ’s Suffering and Christ’s Love

DVRodriguez2025-07-14T09:36:22-04:00

There is nothing more conducive to the glory of God and sanctification of one’s soul than to think every day on the pains that Christ suffered for love of us. This is what Catholicism is. In these two mysteries –suffering & love– we learn the great truths about life. The Mass is our perpetual remembrance of them; at every moment it is being offered somewhere in the world. Yet the Mass is also a perpetual presence of His cross and death, from which we all can draw life, strength and grace. The more we do so, the more we reject sin [...]

Four Catholic Misconceptions – Part 2

DVRodriguez2025-07-05T20:57:27-04:00

This talk is geared towards Catholics. We look to dispel four common errors Catholics have about the Faith. The first three are addressed in Part 1. The fourth error is "Theistic Evolution." This is the idea that God is the Creator of the universe but that He used a process of evolution to create over billions of years. Many incorrectly believe this view is compatible with the Catholic Faith. [1] You just need to be 'good' to get to Heaven.

True Eucharistic Faith

DVRodriguez2025-07-06T16:38:03-04:00

The feast of Corpus Christi is a profession of faith that Jesus Christ is really and substantially present in the Holy Eucharist under the appearance of bread and wine. One cannot truly believe in Christ and set this truth aside. Real Catholic Faith is not just saying and believing this, but living it. The most important way to live this is to receive Him frequently, and doing so with great faith, deep devotion, and integral purity.

God the Father and All Fathers

DVRodriguez2025-07-06T16:47:07-04:00

If we are to know God, we need to know the Father. He shows what all fathers, natural and spiritual, ought to be. The Father brings forth life and makes sure that His creatures have what they need to attain their perfection. He provides and protects. He disciplines us to keep us on the right path. He does all this because of love. Human fathers are called to give life, to maintain it, and to provide all their children need to attain their fulfillment This duty can be burdensome and fatiguing, but it is an obligation of love. Fathers: Have an [...]

Holy Ghost Basics in Threes

DVRodriguez2025-07-06T16:44:57-04:00

The Holy Ghost is the spirit of truth, the giver of life and grace, and the power of divine love. Take a step in faith to acknowledge the importance of the octave days of Pentecost and spiritually benefit from them. The fact that these days pass Catholics without notice illustrates the weakness of our faith. Most of us do not sufficiently seek the help of the Holy Ghost. Yet unless we take specific steps in faith, our faith will not grow stronger.

Many Are Called Few Are Chosen

Hearing Scripture is not enough. We need to understand it. That means we need a proper interpretation; we must study the Scriptures with the mind of the Church. For example, we believe in the Communion of Saints. We know this from our Creed, liturgy, and life of devotion. Moreover, the Holy Ghost –through St. Paul– calls us to study and imitate (follow) the saints so as to arrive in Heaven. Look at the three apostles Jesus chose so as to imitate them. Peter was passionate, fervent, and always wanted to be close to the Lord. James was bold, fearless, and would [...]

Catholic or Modernist Understanding of the Church’s Mission

DVRodriguez2025-06-18T15:09:05-04:00

Pope Leo XIII presents the Church’s teaching on her divine purpose. The Church is to guard true doctrine and propagate it in its integrity and purity, to convert all nations, and to render unto God fitting and divine worship. By these means she alone offers the human race the means of salvation in accord with the ordinary counsels of providence. Hence the Church is mater et magistra, that is, mother [of the life of grace] and teacher [of the true doctrine]. Given the current grave crisis, the chief priority of every shepherd must be to restore –and be faithful to– the [...]
