Misterios y Lecciones de la Asunción

DVRodriguez2021-09-19T05:51:22-04:00

La fiesta de hoy conmemora una serie de misterios relacionados con la muerte, asunción y coronación de La Virgen Santísima. Estos misterios revelan la bondad infinita de Dios y demuestran cómo Santa María aun más nos esta ayudando y preocupando por nosotros sus hijos. Veamos ciertas 'luces' (o sea, lecciones espirituales) que nos vienen de estos grandes misterios. [1] La muerte de María fue preciosa y gozosa, porque ella estuvo completamente libre de las tres cosas que hacen que la muerte sea amarga: [a] El apego al mundo; [b] El remordimiento por los pecados; [c] La incertidumbre de la salvación. [2] [...]

La Grandeza de la Misa

DVRodriguez2021-09-19T04:20:43-04:00

A lo largo de los siglos, la Iglesia, guiada por el Espíritu Santo, ha adornado la Misa con himnos, oraciones, y ceremonias santas. La Iglesia ha envuelto la celebración de este Sacrificio divino con un velo místico para llenar a los fieles de temor religioso y una reverencia profunda, instándolos a una contemplación seria y meditación piadosa. El Papa Inocencio I (~ 400 A.D.) afirma que la liturgia romana proviene de San Pedro y todos deben observar este rito. No sabemos cómo se desarrollará este ataque grave de Bregoglio y los modernistas contra la Misa (la fe católica y a Cristo [...]

Our Lady Within St Annes Womb

DVRodriguez2021-09-13T10:22:14-04:00

Within St. Anne's womb, the Blessed Virign Mary was continuously occupied with ten pious exercises. These express the sentiments in her Immaculate Herat. They did not require external activity as she was still a tiny infant. Thus, we can practice them at Mass. We will thereby more actively participate at, and derive more spiritual fruit from, the Holy Sacrifice. Too often we doubt - deep down - that God is all-good, all-wise, and all-powerful. If we had greater confidence - faith! - then we would have nothing to worry about. Strive to foster a greater devotion to Mary's Immaculate Heart and [...]

Mourn With Our Lady of LaSalette

DVRodriguez2021-09-11T06:39:04-04:00

God always prepares us, never blindsiding His faithful ones. He uses types and prefigurements. Consider how Our Lord raising the Widow of Naim's son is a type. He also provides us with prophecy; though we must be careful in our interpretation. In 1846 at LaSalette, Our Lady of Sorrows foretold much of what was to come - in those days, in our time, and at the end of time. Other prophecies from approved apparitions of Our Lady and saints help us better understand her terrible message. When one is forewarned, one can be better prepared and the suffering is lessened. We [...]

Sancutuary of Divine Love

DVRodriguez2021-09-10T11:24:07-04:00

St. Paul exhorts us to "walk in the Spirit" which is another way of saying "be devoted to the Immaculate Heart of Mary." The Twelve Fruits of the Holy Ghost are a perfect description of Mary's Heart. Choose one of those gifts (e.g. benignity, goodness, longanimity, mildness, faith, modesty, etc.) and ask the Blessed Virgin Mary to form this virtue in your heart in her likeness. Like the Mass, Our Lady's Heart is an altar. Christ's Sacrifice is renewed therein as she offers her Son and herself with unspeakable love. At Mass, we too must offer Jesus - truly present - [...]

Glowing Maternal Heart

DVRodriguez2021-09-06T08:11:02-04:00

There is a deep connection between Mary's Immaculate Heart and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Our Lady pondered and preserved in her heart all the wondrous events of her Son - especially His Passion (cf. Lk 2:19, 51). As a very real mother, Our Lady took note of the slightest details regarding her Son. Her heart is a sacred depository of God. Now Holy Mass makes all these mysteries - contained in her Immaculate Heart - present for us! We are meant to ponder and preserve the Passion, marvelous mysteries, and events of Christ's life. Imitate Mary thus and you [...]

The Debacle

DVRodriguez2021-09-02T07:44:20-04:00

The United States' exit from Afghanistan has been an utter debacle. It has resulted in humiliation, chaos, and death. We must re-evaulate our entire strategy. We should return to the traditions of our past. Yet in our modern day, the ruling class of elites never suffer consequences for the destruction resulting from their erroneous ideologies. The same holds true within the Church! For decades now, we have had to deal with decisions of the hierarchy that has devastated the Church. Nevertheless, Church leaders now intensify their attack on Tradition, which is the area of the Church showing the most vitality.

Spiritual Lessons from the Assumption

DVRodriguez2021-09-02T07:17:17-04:00

All the mysteries of our Lady's Assumption proclaim the greatness and the goodness of God. They also indicate in what the Christian life consists. Her death was joyful and beautiful because it was free of the three things which make death better: attachment to the world, remorse for sin and uncertainty of salvation. We in turn must strive to detach from the world, grow in humility and resign ourselves to the divine will. Our Lady is all-powerful by grace because she was perfect and sinless. The more we grow in sanctity, the more powerful will be our prayers and intercession.

Pharisaical vs Publican Liturgies

DVRodriguez2021-09-18T15:06:25-04:00

Today's gospel provides a powerful analogy by which to compare and contrast the Traditional and New Mass. We have a pharisaical liturgy for modern man where man stands with pride before God making it 'all about himself.' We have a publican liturgy for the marginalized man who kneels in recognition of his nothingness and God's greatness, not daring to enter the sacred sanctuary. With the new motu proprio, are we doomed to repeat the terrible errors which overtook the Church in the 60s and have left a loss of faith and devastation in their wake? How could anyone forget the ancient [...]

The Greatness of the Mass

DVRodriguez2021-08-18T23:44:33-04:00

Over the centuries, the Church - guided by the Holy Ghost - has adorned the Mass with holy prayers, hymns, lessons, and ceremonies. The Church has enveloped the celebration of this adorable Sacrifice in a mystic veil in order to fill the faithful with religious awe and profound reverence, urging them to earnest pious contemplation and meditation. Pope Innocent I (~400 AD) affirms that the Roman liturgy comes from St. Peter and all must observe this rite. We do not know how this grave attack upon the Mass - upon the Catholic Faith, upon Christ Himself - will play out, but [...]
