“You must not abandon the ship in a storm because you cannot control the winds…What you cannot turn to good, you must at least make as little bad as you can.” -St. Thomas Moore “All the good works in the world are not equal to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass because they are the works of men; but the… (more…)
ALMIGHTY AND EVER LIVING GOD, look with pity upon all Your children who suffer under the terrible burden of torture. Be merciful to them and give them many miracles of escape and hope. In the very midst of their trials do not them lose sight of Your Divine Love and compassion, but send upon them Your Holy Spirit, that they… (more…)
I know that the last two posts were shocking. Our Blessed Lord Jesus came not only to give comfort to the afflicted, but to afflict the comfortable!

I credit this magnificent group as part of the reason I… (more…)
“I am worried by the Blessed Virgin’s messages to Lucy of Fatima. This persistence of Mary about the dangers which menace the Church is a divine warning against the suicide of altering the Faith in her liturgy, her theology and her soul. I hear all around me innovators who wish to dismantle the sacred chapel, destroy the universal flame of… (more…)
Today is the Feast of the Precious Blood of Jesus, Our Dear Lord and Saviour. July is also dedicated to His Precious Blood.
