On the Feast of Our Lady of Mercy (Ransom): September 24, 2024

Work continues on the next original commentary for this site. It will be posted in a day or two.

I am, however, offering readers a brief reflection on the Feast of Our Lady of Ransom (Mercy), which is celebrated today, Tuesday, September 24, 2024. 

Our Lady of Ransom, pray for us.

Memorandum to Jorge Mario Bergoglio: All False Religions Are Paths to Hell

Just another commentary on Senor Bergoglio, his plans for the upcoming "synod," and his reiteration that all religions are of God.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Matthew the Apostle and Evangelist, pray for us.

On the Feast of Saint Matthew the Apostle, September 21, 2024

Today is the Feast of Saint Matthew the Apostle and Evangelist and Ember Saturday in September.

Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ called Levi from his duties as a collector of tribute for Caesar to follow Him. Levi quit his position as a tax collector to become a collector of souls for God and His true Church. Saint Matthew wrote His Gospel to convince his fellow Jews to accept Our Lord as the Divine Redeemer and to convert to the true Faith, Catholicism.

This is quite a contrast with the work of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who esteems Talmudic Judaism as an instrument of "justice" although it denies the Sacred Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ and wages warfare upon those who seek to restore the Social Reign of Christ the King, to say nothing of the fact that many of its rabbis,including his pal Abraham Skorka, support abortion and perversity under cover of the civil law. Quite a difference. It's the difference between fidelity and apostasy, between Catholicism and conciliarism.

The next original conmentary will be posted within a few minutes.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Matthew the Apostle, pray for us.

Republished: A Few Words About Saint Eustace and His Companions

This is a brief reflection on the martyrdom of Saint Eustace and Companions (his wife and two sons), a feast that is celebrated today, Friday, September 20, 2024, along with the commemorations of Ember Friday in September and of the Vigil of Saint Matthew the Apostle.

Unlike the conciliar revolutionaries, Saint Eustace and his family refused to offer even one grain of incense to the idols and preferred death rather than to compromise on any point of their abiding Faith in Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The martyrdom of Saint Eustace should provide us with inspiration in these trying times, especially since Saint Eustace had been involuntarily separated from his wife and sons for some time prior to their joint martyrdom, which made possible their entry into Heaven together.

My next commentary about Senor Jorge's continued apostasy should be posted late on Friday, September 20, 2024. 

Finally, I hate to sound like a broken record. However, non-tax-deductible financial gifts are always welcomed! No experience necessary. 

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

Saint Eustace and Companions, pray for us.

One of the Greatest and Most Divisive Demagogues of Them All: Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton

There are times when it is useful to remind readers of the fact that former President Donald John Trump is not the only one who is his own worst enemy. The embittered woman whom he defeated on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, Madame Defarge, aka Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, continues to prove that she is her own worst enemy as she continues to manifest her seething hatred for Trump and her contempt for those who support him.

One of the ironies of this is that neither Donald John Trump nor Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton understand anything about First and Last Things, consinging themselves to arguing about trees when the truth is that, barring their individual conversions to the Catholic Faith before they die, they may very well be fighting and cursing each other in hell for all eternity for having been so stupid as to support sins that cry out to Heaven for vengeance.

The next commentary on this site will deal with Jorge Mario Bergoglio. It should be published by the latter part of Friday, September 20, 2024, the Feast of Saint Eustachius and his Companions and the Commemorations of Ember Friday in September and of the Vigil of Saint Matthew the Apostle.

Our Lady of La Salette pray for us.

Saint Januarius and his Companions, pray for us.

All Because Those Want to Save Democracy Lost an Election

On the Feast of the Seven Dolors of the Blessed Virgin Mary in September (2024)

Today is the Feast of the Seven Dolors of the Blessed Virgin Mary in September and the Commemorations of the Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost and of Saint Nicomedes.

We are called to meditate on the Seven Dolors of Our Lady every day of our lives. While there are many good meditations on the sufferings of Our Lady, including those provided by the revelations of Venerable Anne Katherine Emmerich and the Venerable Mary of Agreda, the late Father Frederick Faber has given us much food for inspirational meditation in his The Foot of the Cross, published originally as The Dolors of Mary in 1857. Consider this brief excerpt from Father Faber's reflections:

"But let us make the world stand still, and see how it looks. If our common love for God, which is so poor, is irritated by the sight, what must Mary have suffered? For what is irritation to our weakness to her would be the most deep and transcending sorrow. God comes to His creation. It does not stir. It cannot. It lies in the hollow beneath Him, and has no escape. He comes in the beauty of a mercy, which is almost incredible, because it is so beautiful. But seemingly it does not attract the world. He draws nigh. Creation must do something now. It freezes itself up before His eye. He may have other worlds, more fertile, more accessible to Him, than this. In the spiritual tropics, where the angels dwell, He may perhaps be welcome. But not here. This is the North Pole of His universe. He shed His life's blood upon it, and it would not thaw. It is unmanageable, unnavigable, uninhabitable for Him. He can do nothing at all with it, but let His sun make resplendent colored lights in the icebergs, or bid the moon shine with a wanner loveliness than elsewhere, or fill the long-night sky with the streamers of the Aurora, which even the Esquimaux, burrowing in his hut, will not go out to see. The only difference is that the material pole understands its business. which is to make ice in all imaginable shapes; whereas we men are so used to our own coldness, that we do not know how cold we are, and imagine ourselves to be the temperate zone of God's creation." Our sins helped to thrust those Seven Swords of Sorrow through and through Our Lady's Immaculate Heart at various points during her life, including during her Divine Son's Passion and Death. We must resolve never to grieve her Immaculate Heart again as consider our joy and our privilege to live penitentially as the consecrated slaves to her Divine Son, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ through the same Immaculate Heart. (Father Frederick Faber, The Foot of the Cross, the Dolors of Mary.)

We can help to make reparation for our sins that have grieved the Immaculate Heart of Mary if we pray more and more Rosaries each day, if we help to propagate devotion to her Seven Dolors. Indeed, Our Lady promises us the following graces if we promote devotion to her Seven Dolors:

1) I will grant peace to their families

2) They will be enlightened about the divine mysteries.

3) I will console them in their pains and I will accompany them in their work.

4) I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my divine Son or the sanctification of their souls.

5) I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy and I will protect them at every instant of their lives.

6) I will visibly help them at the moment of their death, they will see the face of their Mother.

7. I have obtained (This Grace) from my divine Son, that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors, will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness since all their sins will be forgiven and my Son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.

As a terrible sinner, I am counting on my own promoting of devotion to the Seven Dolors of the Blessed Virgin Mary to help me just a little bit at the moment of my Particular Judgment.

What about you?

The most recent orginal articles, Always Prowling About the World to Seek the Ruin of Us All and Jorge’s Religious Indifferentism and Election Interference Continue Unabated, were posted on Friday, September 13, 2024, and yesterday, Saturday, September 15, 2024, the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in the even that you missed one or both.  I hope to have anothe original article in a day or two.

There is always a need for non-tax-deductible financial gifts. This is another time of great need. The work of this site is totally dependent upon the support of its readers but there have got to be more than the four people who donate to us monthly or the eight others who donate occasionally or when asked. Thank you.

Finally, please remember the soul of the late Father John Joseph Sullivan, who was my seminary professor at Holy Apostles Seminary in the 1983-1984 academic year, on this day, which would have been his one hundred eighth birthday had he not died in May of 2000.

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.

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

Our Lady of Dolors, pray for us.

Saint Nicomedes, pray for us.

Jorge’s Religious Indifferentism and Election Interference Continue Unabated

The title is pretty self-explanatory at this late/early hour.

Suffice it to say for now that Senor Jorge repeated the abject heresy that all religions lead to God. He also reiterated that opposing illegal immigration is a sin, making this remark in his antipapal press conference while flying back to Rome from Singamore.

This article has been substantially revised and expanded to reflect the conciliar Vatican's deliberate misrepresentation of what the Argentine Apostate said about all religions lead to God. 

The man is going to be eighty-eight years of age on December 16, 2024.

How long, O Lord, how long?

Kyrie eleison!

Thus, I have prepared another commentary for the multitudes who read these articles.

A blessed Feast of the Triumph of the Holy Cross to you all!

O Crux, Ave, Spes Unica!

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

On the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross

The Saviour of the world hung on the wood of the Holy Cross:

Ecce lignum Crucis, in quo salus mundit pependit (Behold the wood of the Cross, on which hung the Saviour of the world. (Adoration of the Cross, Good Friday Liturgy.)

The Cross of the Divine Redeemer was displayed prominently on street corners and in the nooks and crannies of every village in Europe during the era of Christendom. There is no "expiration date" on the Cross of the Divine Redeemer's relevance to the life of any man or of any nation.

We must lift high the Cross in our own daily lives and we must plant it firmly in the soil of our nation without any apology whatsoever as Catholicism is the one and only foundation of personal and social order.

We must also remember that Our Lady stands at the foot of her Divine Son's Most Holy Cross in every true offering of Holy Mass just as she stood at the foot of the Holy Cross on Good Friday. She stands with us as we bear our own crosses in our daily lives. We must, therefore, seek the assistance of the Mother of God in lifting high her Divine Son's Holy Cross in our daily lives, praying as many Rosaries each day as our states-in-life permit.

The cross is ever present in each of our lives, and for this we must say with Saint Francis of Assisi, Deo gratias!

Penance is the path to Heaven.

We do our penances by carrying our crosses with gratitude.

Isn't it great to be a Catholic?

An original commentary will appear in approximately ten minutes. Thank you.

Hail, O Holy Cross! Hail!

A blessed Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross to each of you.

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

Always Prowling About the World to Seek the Ruin of Us All

Many are those in the medical industry who treat sick and/or injured patients as "burdens" to be removed from society under a variety of linguistic tricks that have the same end: to dehumanize the "useless" and the "burdensome" to "save the planet" for themselvs and other members of the jet-setting elites who are simply doing the bidding of Antichrist to continue to create the conditions conducive to his reign, albeit temporary, by means of a global totalitarianism that seeks the ruin of us all, both bodily and spiritually.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.
