Leper and Centurion

DVRodriguez2024-08-13T10:03:20-04:00

Given how Our Lord delivered the Sermon on the Mount, He was asserting His divinity. His miracles provide abundant proof. Our Lord's healing of physical leprosy points to spiritual truth. Leprosy not only caused physical and psychological suffering, but inflicted social and religious pain. The centurion's faith prompts Our Lord to utter a wonderful prophecy and a chilling warning (it is the first of many times that Jesus speaks of hell). The Leper and Centurion share similarities and teach valuable lessons. God wills to make us whole. Christ speaks and His word is fulfilled. Both Jew and Gentile are brought into [...]

Saint Longinus

DVRodriguez2024-09-08T21:31:02-04:00

St. Longinus was present both at the crucifixion and the resurrection. He was miraculously healed and instructed by the Apostles. Refusing to worship demons, he was tortured and martyred. Yet he preserved relics of the Precious Blood for all generations. We have access to the Precious Blood at Mass; but we must exercise Faith. The Sacraments are like seven channels by which the salvific stream of the Precious Blood flows to mankind. At every Mass, the shedding of His Blood blood is repeated in a manner imperceptible to our senses. How ardently do you believe –and live– this great truth?

Key to Cracking Our Hardened Souls

DVRodriguez2024-08-12T21:34:08-04:00

Jesus weeps over Jerusalem. Despite so many chance, God's people reject Him. They devised a religion centered upon man. Yet we are no different. We should expect the situation we are in today because we have turned our back on God. If the first Four Commandments are not being practiced by Catholics, how can we expect anything to change? We must first place God at the center of our lives. Society and the nation will follow. Imitate Our Lady. She pondered God's deeds in silence, practiced fidelity in small things, and was constant in prayer.

Living Through The Crisis 1 – Faith

DVRodriguez2024-08-07T21:32:45-04:00

A divine chastisement is imminent. Our Lady has already warned us at Fatima and Akita. Very few Catholics, even in traditional circles, are spiritually prepared for what is coming. This series explores the virtues most needed to survive the coming years. Each one of us needs to be working on this now, while we still have the time. The first talk centers on the supernatural virtue of Faith.

Know Them By Their Fruits

DVRodriguez2024-08-02T16:40:18-04:00

We must learn to pray as Holy Mother Church prays. Make petitions in union with her solemn prayer. It is clear that many of us are failing in our fundamental duty. We are living through the consequences thereof. Discern the false shepherds by their fruits. Consider as well the wondrous fruits of the Precious Blood. His Blood is shed for us at Holy Mass. Do you really believe?

Star of Esther and Fatima

DVRodriguez2024-07-31T13:01:11-04:00

Our Lady teaches with words and symbols. Every facet of her appearance is intentional. At Fatima, she wore the Star of Ester on her hem. This points to the importance of the 13th and the salvation wrought by the queen for her people just before the moment of complete destruction. In Esther, the Church Fathers saw a prefiguration of Our Lady. The Consecration of Russia will bring about Our Lady's great mediation so that the Church Universal honors her Immaculate Heart alongside the Sacred Heart.

Toma Mi Corazón y Cámbialo

DVRodriguez2024-07-31T09:12:19-04:00

En la oración colecta de hoy pedimos a Dios que derrame en nuestros corazones amor por Él. Que le amemos en todo y sobre todas las cosas. Que Él transforme nuestros corazones para que podamos amarle a ejemplo del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús. Este corazón tiene un amor infinito por nosotros, pobres pecadores. Pero nosotros le devolvemos olvido, desprecio e ingratitud. Podemos participar en la Santa Misa con gran provecho procurando tener las mismas disposiciones del Sagrado Corazón que cuando Jesús se ofrece en sacrificio.

Mammon of Iniquity

DVRodriguez2024-07-28T21:47:04-04:00

Created things are not sinful. They are good for God has made them. We are to use the created things God has given us to please Him, to merit His graces, to fulfill our duty and come to Heaven. But they become an object of sin when we misuse them. Consider our use of food, drink, cell phones, clothing, and time to excess or defect. We restore the balance with penance and fasting. Everything is good, but not everything is good for me. So, what creature has become the mammon of iniquity for me?

Grant Us An Increase of Religion

DVRodriguez2024-07-26T19:10:43-04:00

The Mass' Collect Prayer is a solemn petition on the part of the Universal Church. Today we ask God, "Graft in our hearts love for Thy Name and grant us an increase of religion." Religion is the highest moral virtue; by it we render to God the worship and honor due to God. This virtue necessitates being convinced of God's greatness and our own nothingness. It calls us to overcome our self-love and pride, both great obstacles which prevent us from loving God. At Mass, make a special effort to consider the Sacred Heart. "O Jesus, take my heart and change [...]
