The great saint whose feast is commemorated elebrate today, Friday, March 27, 2026, Saint John Damascene, fought the iconoclasts in his day, and while many, although far from all, of our Catholic churches are now in the hands of the conciliar iconoclasts, we can festoon our homes with images of Our Lord and Our Lady and Saint Joseph and other saints as we use these images to remind us that we are united to the saints represented in these images by means of the Communion of Saints that we hope to share Heaven with them for all eternity in the glory of the Beatific Vision. 

Today, course, is our daughter Lucy’s twenty-fourth birthday and the eighteenth anniversary of her First Holy Communion.

Please do pray for Lucy Mary Therese Norma Droleskey on her birthday today. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint John Damascene, pray for us.

The feast we celebrate today, Wednesday, March 25, 2026, the Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Commeration of Wednesdayin Passion Week, signifies the moment when the Second Person of the Most Blessed Trinity, the very Word through Whom all things were made, personally entered into human history as He was made Incarnate in the Virginal and Immaculate Womb of His Most Blessed Mother by the power of the Third Person of the Most Blessed Trinity, God the Holy Ghost, Who overshadowed Our Lady after she had given her perfect Fiat to the Will of the First Person of the Most Blessed Trinity, God the Father, as that Will was made known to her by Saint Gabriel the Archangel.

The whole of human history is changed today--and no one can remain neutral about what happened on this day. If the Second Person of the Most Blessed Trinity really did become Man this day in Our Lady's Virginal and Immaculate Womb so as to redeem us on the wood of the Holy Cross thirty-three years later, as we know is indeed the case, then every person and every nation on the face of this earth must acknowledge this fact and subordinate everything to the Deposit of Faith that He has entrusted exclusively to His Catholic Church for Its eternal safekeeping and infallible explication.

We must pray to Our Lady every day so that we will never lose sight of the centrality of the Incarnation in our own lives and in the lives of our nations, never lose sight of the fact that Holy Mass itself is Incarnational as the Word Who was made Incarnate in her Virginal and Immaculate Womb is made Incarnate on altars of sacrifice under the appearances of bread and wine by true bishops and true priests. Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ spent nine months in the tabernacle of Our Lady's Virginal and Immaculate Womb, thereby sanctifying the wombs of al mothers. He is in solidarity with every child in every mother's womb. Every abortion, whether by chemical or surgical means, is an indirect attack on the Incarnation that took place this very day.

The nezt original commentary should appear in about twenty-fours from the time of this poasting. 

Thank you.

A blessed Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to you all.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

This is part two of yesterday's commentary.

As I am tired at a very late hour, all I say for the moment is that I may or may not have another new commentary tomorrow, the Feast of the Annuncition of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the Commemoration of Wednesday in Passion Week, in addition to my republished reflection on Our Lady's Annunciation.

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

Saint Gabriel the Archangel, pray for us.

This commentary discusses the recent spate of overtly anti-Ctholic remarks by the likes of self-styled "Christian Nationalist" Douglas Wilson and Raphael Edward Cruz.

The United States of America was founded by men who were hostile to the true Faith and it should come as no surprise that the false ethos of the founders is stronger than ever today.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

This is my annual Passiontide reflection.

A blessed Passiontide to you all.

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

Saint Isidore the Farmer (whose feast day is March 22 here in the United States of America), pray for us.

Saint Catherine of Genoa, pray for us.

This reflection contrasts the work of Saint Benedict of Nursia with that of the three most recent  conciliar “popes.”

Much time is spent in this reflection to the fact that the conciliar "popes," including Robert Francis Pachamama Prevost/Leo XIV, have denied the commission that Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ gave to the Eleven on Ascension Thursday to convert all men to the true Faith. Saint Benedict of Nursia, the father of western Monasticism and thus of Europe itself, had an intolerance for such teaching. So should we.

Today, Saturday, March 21, 2026, the Feast of Saint Benedict of Nursia and the Commemoration of Saturday in the Fourth Week of Lent, which will be two-thirds over by the time First Vespers for Passion Sunday this evening, is the sixty-fifth anniversary of my Confirmation at the hands of the founding bishop of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, New York, the Most Reverend Walter P. Kellenberg. A brief reflection on The Sacrament of Confirmation: To Be Foot Soldiers in the Army of Christ, Now and Forever was published a few years ago.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us. 

“Pope Leo XIV” is, apart being the seventh in the current line of antipopes, is the literal antithesis of Pope Leo XIII, who condemned practically everything that the counterfeit church of conciliarism teaches and that Robert Francis Prevost has himself embraced with great enthusiasm without any kind of qualification, equivocation, or reservation whatsoever.

Today, of course, is the great Feast of Saint Joseph, the Chaste Spouse of Our Lady, the just and silent man of the House of David. Saint Joseph denied himself his biological fatherhood in order to serve as the ever-virginal spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the most loving foster-father to Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

In him, Saint Joseph, is to be found every virtue for a husband and father to imitate: patience, charity, forbearance in all difficulties, fortitude, perseverance, temperance, and total self-abnegation. Those of us who are husbands and fathers must learn to be more silent, to learn to be more loving, to learn to be more patient, to learn to be more meek, to learn to be ever-ready to worker harder and harder at our life's work so as to help our wives and our children to live as redeemed creatures here below in order to know eternal happiness hereafter in Heaven. Saint Joseph is the model of home life and the patron of artisans, the protector of widows and orphans, the patron of those who are in danger of death. May we invoke his patronage each day after we invoke that of his Most Chaste Spouse, Our Lady, and never be slow to turn to him in our spiritual and temporal needs:

"O Saint Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in thee all my interests and desires. O thou Saint Joseph, do assist me by thy powerful intercession, and obtain for me from thy divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; so that, having engaged here below thy heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of fathers. O Saint Joseph, I never weary contemplating thee, and Jesus asleep in thy arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near thy heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. Saint Joseph, Patron of departing souls, pray for me. Amen!"

The next original article is proceeding and should be ready for publication in less than twenty-four hours. 

Also, although I am not writing about the ongoing "excursion" in Iran until after Easter, I am keeping track of developments, which have included news that former National Director of Counterintelligence, Joseph Kent, is now under investigation for supposedly leaking "classifed information."

Looks like the spirit of Joseph Robinette "Indict Political Opponents" Biden, Jr., is alive and well in the White House under President Donald John Trump, who was indicted by illegally appointed special counsel Jack Smith for "mishandling" classified documents. thus proving once again that we are governed by one Judeo-Masonic party after another by means of the false opposites of naturalism.

Finally, here is a link to Father Francis X. Weninger's Three Sermons on the Feast of Saint Joseph.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Joseph, pray for us.

A blessed Feast of Saint Joseph to you all! 

This will be last commentary about the joint American-Israeli military “excursion” until after Easter as we must use the next two weeks before the Paschal Triduum begins with the praying or singing of Tenebrae on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, to prepare well for the liturgies and ceremonies of Passiontide and the Triduum.

Today, Wednesday, March 18, 2026 (the Feast of Saint Cyril of Jerusalem and the Commemoration of Wednesday in the Fourth Week of Lent),  is the forty-fourth anniversary of the death of my mother, +Mrs. Norma Florence Red Fox Droleskey, who was the adoptive daughter of Chief Red Fox, at the then named Spohn Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas, where she had spent her adolescent years until she joined the Women’s Army Corps in 1943 at the age of twenty-two, at the age of sixty-one years, twelve days.

My mother died of stomach and esophageal cancer that had been diagnosed on Friday, January 29, 1982, just six weeks before she died. Most of that time was spent at the M. D. Anderson Cancer Hospital in Houston, Texas. It is hard to believe that I am now over twelve years older than she was at the time of her death. How the time has flown. Prayers for the repose of her immortal soul would be very much appreciated. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and all of the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Today is also the nineteenth anniversary of the death of the late +Father Daniel Johnson, who was ordained to the Holy Priesthood in 1954 and served as the pastor of Saint Mary by the Sea Church in Huntington Beach, California, form 1979 to 2004.

Father Johnson was very zealous for souls. He personally walked the boundaries of the parish three times during his quarter-century pastorate, visiting (or leaving his card with an invitation to join the Catholic Church if no one was present to answer his knock) every residence and business to encourage fallen away Catholics to the return to the Faith and to invite non-Catholics to convert. Father Johnson brought five hundred fifty-four souls into the Faith, including Mohammedans, Jews, and Mormons. Sharon herself was baptized at the hands of Father Johnson on July 31, 1999, nearly twenty months before I met her on March 11, 2001, at Saint Mary by the Sea Church as I was giving the “Living in the Shadow of the Cross” lecture program. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all of the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

It was also on this date in 2008 that Mrs. Theresa Colgan, the mother of a former student of mine from Saint Francis College in Brooklyn, New York, during the 1985-1986 academic year, died. Please pray for her immortal soul as well. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and all of the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen,

Finally, insofar as prayer intentions for this day are concerned, a former friend of mine in the conciliar structures turns seventy-five years of age today. Please for him and for the other intentions noted above.

The next original commentary should appear by Friday, March 20, 2026, Friday in the Fourth Week of Lent. A reflection on Our Good Saint Joseph will be republished tomorrow, Thursday, March 19, 2026, the Feast of Saint Joseph and the Commemoration of Thursday in the Fourth Week of Lent.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, pray for us.
