The meaning of life is this: to know, love and serve God in this life, so that we may be forever happy with Him in the next, which is eternal. To love God is the greatest of virtues; to be loved by God is the greatest of blessings. God gives this greatest of His blessings to all of His children.… (more…)
I have often marveled at the way the good Lord works in our lives. When we are in the state of grace and are open to His will and ways He works all things for our good. He puts people in our lives as a gift and then removes them for protection, either for them or for us. We are… (more…)
Where charity and love prevail there God is ever found. Brought here together by Christ’s love, by love are we thus bound. In grateful love and holy fear His charity we learn; Let us with heart and mind and soul now love Him in return. Forgive we now each other’s faults, as we our faults confess; And let us love… (more…)
I am old enough to remember Holy Mother Church before the false council. I was in seventh grade when the Novus Ordo, or the NO, as I like to call it, otherwise known as the Novus Disorder took hold. We were ushered into it’s vortex of progressive spiritual entropy by the good nuns of the saintly Elizabeth Bailey Seaton. These… (more…)
In the beginning was the Word… This great mystery, that of Christ, the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity as LOGOS- the WORD, is worthy of daily contemplation.

My God, my portion and my all, my everlasting all! I’ve none but Thee in heaven above or on this earthly ball. What empty things are all the skies and this inferior clod! There’s nothing here deserves my joys, there’s nothing like my God. In vain the bright, the burning sun scatters his feeble light- ’tis Thy sweet beams create… (more…)
One of the highlights of my life was my association, when I was young with the wonderful performing group The Young Americans. We sang and danced all over the world and on The Julie Andrews Show, among other great gigs. I met my best friend in the group and was so proud to represent this magnificent nation with my compatriots,… (more…)
“Some people misunderstand evil and think it will relent, and because their misplaced hope inspires dark hearts to dream darker dreams, they are the fathers and mothers of all wars. Evil does not relent; it must be defeated- and even when defeated, uprooted, and purified by fire, evil leaves behind seed that will one day germinate and, in blooming, again… (more…)
For those who, like me come from a dysfunctional family, (we put the fun in dysfunctional. Our sense of humor, which is genetic if it is anything, was our saving grace; that and grace itself!)- friends are all the more important. In fact, they become our family of choice. They become the manifestation of the consolation of God. The best… (more…)
Our Lady of Victory, we have unshaken confidence in your intercession before your Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Humbly we ask your prayers for all Christians in help or need. We implore you to obtain for us grace needed in our lives to make us worthy of sharing Christ’s victory. May we join with you in praise of the Father,… (more…)
