Saint Rose of Lima, T.O.P.: The Difference Between Heaven and Hell

This is a brief and very sightly revised version of my reflection on the life of Saint Rose of Lima, a member of the Third Order of Penance of the Order of Preachers of Saint Dominic de Guzman.

Among many other works in her devout life of prayer and austere penances, Saint Rose, who lived among a cluster of saints in Lima, Peru, exhorted the people of Lima to gather in their churches and pray their Rosaries to turn back a pending invasion of their city by a fleet of those virulent anti-Catholics, the Dutch Calvinists. Those hideous people with their diabolical beliefs that have nothing at all to do with Christianity turned back as a result of the Rosaries that were prayed to repel them in their designs to invade Lima and to sack Catholic churches and to desecrated the Most Blessed Sacrament images of the Mother of God.

May we pray to Saint Rose of Lima so that we will remain faithful to the daily recitation of Our Lady's Most Holy Rosary as the powerful weapon, after Holy Mass itself, to turn back the enemies of Christ the King in the world and in the counterfeit church of conciliarism.

The next original article on this site should be published by tomorrow. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Rose of Lima, pray for us. Saints Felix and Adauctus, pray for us. 

Saint John the Baptist: Beheaded by Those Who Would Enjoy Jorge's Favor Today

Today is the Feast of the Beheading of Saint John the Baptist and the Commemoration of Saint Sabina. I am republishing a reflection on this feast that was substantially enlarged and revised last year with a few new revisions.  

The next original article on this site is being written, but it will be lengthy and may take another day or two to complete. I want to use much care in its completion in order to make the distinctions are required by its subject-matter. Thank you for your patience.

The next original article has been slowed also by the fact that it was almost impossible to do much at the computer over the weekend because of the continuing effects of the spinal injury incurred a little after Midnight on July 19, 2017. However, I have collected most of the documentation for the commentary, which is on Jorge’s apologia in defense of a new liturgy for a new religion. I just need another two days of writing to compete it, and it was impossible to do any writing yesterday, Monday, August 28, 2017, the Feast of Saint Augustine of Hippo and the Commemoration of Saint Hermes, as I had another round of chiropractic treatments and Sharon had to see a dentist, who told her that a root canal and a crown are in order.

These, however, are minor health problems in comparison to those that others have, including our friend Mr. Michael Cain, who is the Executive Director of The Daily Catholic website.

A reader of this site wrote to me yesterday morning to inform me that Mr. Cain, who is seventy-four years of age, has been diagnosed with a malignant tumor in one of his lungs that is the size of a baseball. Radiation treatments will be employed as he is not considered to be a candidate for surgery. Please pray with us to Saint Peregrine for this zealous Catholic writer and apologist.

Finally, we have been paying very close attention to the effects of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Harvey in the Houston, Texas, area. We have relatives and many friends in the area, each of whom is uppermost in our prayers now. Indeed, we are praying for all those who are affected by this chastisement.

My eldest first cousin, the son of my late father’s late brother, texted me last evening to say that the water rose up very high around his house and property about thirty miles northwest of downtown Houston. Please pray for his safety and that of his wife, who is a cancer survivor. (Three other cousins are also in the same area, but I have no word about what has happened where they live).

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.

Saint John the Baptist, pray for us.

Saint Sabina, pray for us. 

Update on Our Lady's Saturday and the Commemoration of Pope Saint Zephrinus

Although I do not  have time to write a commentary on the Argentine Apostate's address about the state of the liturgical revolution, excuse me, "renewal," the fact that he referenced Giovanni Battista Enrico Antonio Maria/Paul VI's general audience address of Januay 13, 1965, caught my attention immediately as it was in yesterday's original article, The Catholic Church Contra Jorge's "God of Surprises,", that I referenced that address of Paolo Sicko. Indeed, I have done so on three different other occasions in the past five years, including in Making Revolutions Irreversible, which was published in February of 2015.

It is interesting that Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now in the fifth year of his masquerade as "Pope Francis," used his nonexistent magisterial authority to make the liturgical "renewal" irreversible as this it has been clear that this has been his intention all along.

Anyhow, I will spend most of today writing a commentary on this. In the meantime, however, Making Revolutions Irreversible can serve as a "refresher course" that not even Bergoglio's invocation of "magisterial authority" is new. Montini did the same over fifty-two and one-half years ago.

Please continue to pray for all those in the path of Hurricane Harvey.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Zephrinus, pray for us,

Saint Louis IX: Christ the King's Humble Exemplar

Although late in the day, this is still the Feast of Saint Louis IX, King of France, that great exemplar of the Social Reign of Christ the King. Saint Louis was taught by his holy mother, Blessed Blanche of Castile, to prefer death rather to commit a deliberate Mortal Sin. He heard two Masses a day and was a member of the Third Order of Saint Francis, whose patron saint he remains to this day.

Saint Louis strove to rule according to the Mind of Christ the King as He had deposited It exclusively in the Catholic Church, recognizing that he, Louis IX, would have to answer to Christ the King at the moment of his own Particular Judgment for how he ruled his subjects. His letter to his son Philip is a succinct summary of the principles of Catholic Social Teaching. It is a model for how everyone in public life should conduct himself in order to please Christ the King as the devoted client of Our Lady, she who is our Immaculate Queen.

Finally, a reader of this site sent me a link to an address that the Argentine Apostate, whose general audience address on Wednesday was the subject of an article posted at Midnight this morning (Catholic Church Contra Jorge's "God of Surprises"), gave yesterday, the Feast of Saint Bartholomew, on the "irreversible" nature of the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical service. In doing so, the false "pontiff" tried to invoke Pope Saint Pius X and Pope Pius XII as witnesses in behalf of the conciliar revolution. There are careful distinctions /that need to be made and I will endeavor to do so in my next commentary.

Vivat Christus Rex!

Immaculate Heart of Mary, triumph soon.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Louis IX, pray for us.

 

The Catholic Church Contra Jorge's "God of Surprises"

Well, it is a late hour once again,

Jorge made yet another reference to his mythical "God of surprises" two days ago now.

Readers of this site will not be "surprised" by this commentary.

I will have a revised reflection on the life of Saint Louis IX, King of France, published later today, August 25, 2017, but the next orginal article won't appear until the Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost because it is back to the chiropractic today after a blessedly penitential few days, Thank you for your prayers, and much more importantly, please pray for all those in the path of Hurricane Harvey.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Louis IX, King of France, pray for us.

The Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Holy Rosary: God's Two Last Remedies to the World

Today is the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, that heart that was pierced with Seven Swords of Sorrow during the Life of her Divine Son, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus was formed out of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These twin hearts of matchless love suffered as one and they beat as one while on earth and they have beat as one in Heaven since Our Lady was Assumed into Heaven body and soul after her death.

Our Lady's Immaculate Heart was unstained by Original Sin or Actual Sins. The Immaculate Heart of the Mother of God, therefore, was capable of a purity of love of God and of her fellow men that is almost indescribable. Our Lady's Most Pure, Most Holy Heart despises the sins that caused her Divine Son to suffer in His Sacred Humanity during His Passion and Death but at the same time is full of a perfect and completely pure maternal compassion for erring sinners such as you and me.

Our Lord, showing us His infinite compassion for us erring sinners, has sent us His Most Blessed Mother to provide us with her maternal assistance to get home to Heaven as members of His true Church founded upon the Rock of Peter, the Pope.

We have been given the Rosary, the Brown Scapular of Mount Carmel, the Miraculous Medal, and the Green Scapular through her loving hands, through which flow the graces won for us by the shedding of Our Lord's Most Precious Blood on the wood of the Holy Cross.

Her apparition to Juan Diego and the miraculous image of herself she left on his tilma helped to convert millions of Indians to the true Faith in the Americas.

Our Lady ratified Pope Pius IX's solemn proclamation of her Immaculate Conception by proclaiming herself to Saint Bernadette Soubirous to be the Immaculate Conception on March 25, 1858. And Our Lady's appearance in the Cova da Iria from May 13, 1917, to October 13, 1917, gave us Heaven's Peace Plan, one that runs through her Immaculate Heart.

We must endeavor at all times to fulfill, as far as we are able in this time of apostasy and betrayal, Our Lady's Fatima Message in our own lives, especially by praying as many Rosaries each day as our states-in-life permit and by living penitentially as the consecrated slaves of her Divine Son through her own Immaculate Heart.

The era of apostasy and betrayal will end when the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is made manifest. We can play our roles, small though they may be, in helping to bring about this triumph.

What are we waiting for?

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now, and at the hour of our death.

Saints Timothy, Hippolytus, and Symphorian, pray for us.

By the way, speaking of peace, the next original article will comment on the plan announced by President Donald John Trump last night to "win" the fight against the Taliban in the graveyard of empires, Afghanistan. 

Jorge's "Obstacles" to "Pastoral Conversion"

As the hour is late and I must get some rest before arising for another round of chiropractic treatments on the lower back that was injured nearly five weeks ago now, suffice it to say that this article is a commentary on a recent article in L'Osservatore Romano by an Italian presbyter and pseudo-theologian who claimed that the chief obtacle to Jorge Mario Bergoglio's call for "pastoral conversion" are "bishops" and priests/presbyers, "high and low." This has been on my "to do" list for some time. However, I am doing what I am able given the limitations of the current circumstances.

As funds are not exactly plentiful now, all non-tax-deductible financial gifts to help fund the trips to the chiropractor for the next two weeks would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Jane Frances de Chantal, pray for us.

Two Saints With A Common Denominator: Fervor for the Mother of God

Unable to complete my next article, which is about conciliarism, two very short and woefully inadequate reflections on lives of two saints who had a common denominator in fervent devotion to the Mother God, Saint John Eudes and Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, are being offered. It had been my intention to write more about each of these two saints. However, two days out of each of week now are pretty much unavailable for writing because of the long trips that I must make to the chiropractor for the continued treatment of the injuries I sustained a month ago now.

Most Pure Heart of Mary, pray for us.

Saint John Eudes, pray for us.

Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, pray for us.

Saint Hyacinth: The Apostle of the Northland and a Rebuke To Conciliarism

Today is the Feast of Feast of Saint Hyacinth, O.P., the great Apostle of the Northland and one of the first members of the Order of Preachers founded by Saint Dominic de Guzman. (Today is also the third day within the Octave of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Octave Day of Saint Lawrence the Deacon.)

Saint Hyacinth's great zeal for souls and his desire to convert pagans out of their diabolical superstitions into the true Faith, outside of which there is no salvation and without which there can be no true social order. Saint Hyacinth, who had such a great and abiding love for Our Lady, who favored him with apparitions, stands in quite a contrast with Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI and his successor, Jorge Mario Bergoglio. Both of these heretics have praised the very false religions that Saint Hyacinth—and every other Catholic missionary—sought to eradicate from the face of the earth by seeking the unconditional conversion of their adherents to the false religion. The difference between Saint Hyacinth's fidelity and apostasy of the conciliar "popes" stark. It is right there in black and white for all who have the grace to see. See for yourself. As considerable time was spent adding links, including a complete library of articles that have appeared about Bergoglio on this site in the fifty-three months, four days, to the preface of this revised article in order to provide readers with a useful and handy resource for those who are new to this site and want to review past articles on Jorge Mario Bergoglio, it has been impossible to add more recent examples of the endless reaffirmations that the Argentine Apostate has given to those who adhere to false religions, including Talmudism, from which he derives much of his "intellectual" and "spiritual" sustenance. In other words, "Pope Francis" is a stooge and servant of Antichrist.  

Today's original article, Victim of Its Own Iniquities, was published about a half hour after Midnight this morning. Several typograhical errors were corrected this afternoon.    

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Hyacinth, O.P., pray for us.

Saint Lawrence the Martyr, pray for us.

Victim of Its Own Iniquities

This commentary on the tragic events that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday, August 12, 2017, the Feast of Saint Clare of Assisi, was published early this morning shortly after Midnight. Some typographical errors have been corrected and one sentence in the final section of the commentary has been rephrased to make its meaning clearer. 

A revised reflection on the life of Saint Hyacinth, whose feast is celebrated today, will be published either later today or tomorrow. There was just too much work to do it that could not be completed late last night. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Hyacinth, pray for us.
