Nations Need Kings According to the Mind and Example of Christ the King

As today is the Feast of Christ the King, I thought that it would be useful to republish this article, which contrasts the promise made by kings contained in Catholic Coronation Rite as found in the 1896 Pontificale Romanum to “cut off the mass of iniquity” with our own very blithe and passive acceptance of the “mass of iniquity” as evil keeps being advanced, whether at an accelerated rate by the coercive power of the civil state or at more imperceptible rate by means of its being institutionalized slowly so that people can become used to its acceptance, no matter which organized crime family of naturalism is in power.

The most recent original commentary, As Is Ever the Case, Christ the King Loses No Matter Who Wins Elections, which was published less than twenty-two hours ago, serves as my last one about the ongoing farce of naturalism until after November 5, 2024. 

If, as appears probable ten days before the election, Benjamin Netanyahu's team of Donald John Trump and Michael James Vance do wind up defeating the Xi Jinping/George and Alex Soros electoral team of Kamala Harris Emhoff, do not expect Soros's "community organizers" to go gently into that good night. There are sixty-two days between November 5, 2024, and January 6, 2025, and I am sure that Democratic Party election attorneys such as Marc Elias and many members of Congress will do everything possible to do what they denounced Trump for having sought to do on January 6, 2021: thwart Trump's certification as the president-elect. 

Thus, rise above the agitation as Christ the King loses no matter who wins. God is still God both before and after an election. Everything that occurs is within His Holy Providence, which we must accept with equanimity while also remembering that, as I wrote sixteen years ago, Chastisement Is A Silver Lining

Two other commentaries about today's Feast of Christ the King were republished within the past eighty minutes.

The next original commentary will focus on the now concluded "synod" that took place within the grotesque architectual novelty known as the Aula Paul VI within the walls of the Occupied Vatican on the West Bank of the Tiber River, although I may need two or three days to complete it.

A blessed Feast of Christ the King to you all!

We Must Always Live and be Willing to Die for Christ the King (2024)

Today is the Feast of the Universal Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Commemoration of the Twentieth-third Sunday after Pentecost.

Another republished reflection on this feast day will follow shortly.

Vivat Christus Rex!

Viva Cristo Rey!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

The Sovereignty of Christ the King is Universal and Eternal (2024)

Today is the great feast of the Universal Kingship of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, instituted by Pope Pius XI by the issuance of Quas Primas, December 11, 1925, to counteract the naturalism and the anticlericalism that was spreading so wildly in the world and attracting so many Catholics away from the Faith. This is ninety-ninth observance of the Feast of Christ the King since its institution.

Two other republished reflections on this great feast and an original commentary will be posted within thirty minutes of this posting. 

A blessed Feast of Christ the King to you all!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

As Is Ever the Case, Christ the King Loses No Matter Who Wins Elections

This commentary, which was published shortly before three o'clock in the morning, Eastern Daylight Saving Time, has revised and expanded in several places, and this current commentary will serve as my last about the ongoing farce of naturalism until after November 5, 2024. 

If, as appears probable ten days before the election, Benjamin Netanyahu's team of Donald John Trump and Michael James Vance do wind up defeating the Xi Jinping/George and Alex Soros electoral team of Kamala Harris Emhoff, do not expect Soros's "community organizers" to go gently into that good night. There are sixty-two days between November 5, 2024, and January 6, 2025, and I am sure that Democratic Party election attorneys such as Marc Elias and many members of Congress will do everything possible to do what they denounced Trump for having sought to do on January 6, 2021: thwart Trump's certification as the president-elect. 

Thus, rise above the agitation as Christ the King loses no matter who wins. God is still God both before and after an election. Everything that occurs is within His Holy Providence, which we must accept with equanimity while also remembering that, as I wrote sixteen years ago, Chastisement Is A Silver Lining

I will republish a series of commentaries about the Feast of Christ the King tomorrow, Sunday, October 27, 2024, which is also the Commemoration of the Twenty-third Sunday after Pentecost.

Viva Cristo Rey!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

A Plea to All Catholic and Conciliar Clergy, Putative and Actual: Stop Believing the Modern Aztec Body Snatchers

This title is very self-explanatory. 

I hope to have another commentary in a day or two. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

From "Apostolic Visitation" to "Papal" Evisceration

The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter is getting itself an "apostolic visitation." 

Is it any accident that such a "visitation" was made to investigate the then conciliar "bishop" of Tyler, Texas, Joseph Strickland, who was very friendly with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter?

That last "visitation" did not end well for Joseph Strickland and, no matter what happens when the current one takes place, the Priestly Fraternity will be required to undergo changes even if evisceration is forestalled.

In the last analysis, though, as interesting as this may all be, we must pray that the priests (and there are a handful of truly ordained priests within the Fraternity) and presbyters of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter come to accept the truth that the countefeit church of conciliarism is a false religious entity that has been and continues to be headed by men who are enemies of Christ the King and thus of the sanctifaction and salvation the souls for whom He shed every single drop of His Most Precious Blood to redeem during His Passion and Death on the wood of the Holy Cross on Good Friday.

This commentary has been tweaked in various areas and an appendix excerpted from Reviling the Immaculate Heart of Mary, January 21, 2015 (which was translated by the late Juan Carlos Araneta as El Diabolico Nueven Orden Mundial Desprecia El Corazon Immaculado de Mariaillustrates the contempt that the visitator assigned to "reform" the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate had for an image of the Immaculate Heart of Mary when she said, "Get that out of here!" This sort of hatred is diabolical, and it is reflective of Jorge Mario Bergoglio's own hatred for Catholic Faith, Worship, and Morals.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Hilarion, pray for us.

Saint Ursula and her Companions, pray for us.

After having recorded two different video presentations in the past few days, I have decided that there is no need to reinvent the wheel. 

There is no use repeating what I have stated so many times before, and probably much better in the past than in recordings I had prepared in the past few days.

Thus, recognizing that my time as an effective speaker may have passed me by, I am reposting four videos from three years ago that cover the same material that I had attempted to cover in the past few days much more audibly than the two videos, which were of poor video and audio quality, recorded recently. The content was there in those recent videos, but my speaking about them was much clearer in the ones I am reposting in reverse order now:

Video Presentation: To Rise Above the Agitation, part four

Video Presentation: To Rise Above the Agitation, part three

Video Presentation: To Rise Above the Agitation, part two

Video Presentation: To Rise Above the Agitation, part one

The principles remain the same no matter the agitation and the particulars of the moment, which is why these four videos are of an "evergreen" nature, meaning that they transcend the personalities and conflicts of any particular election or crisis. 

I may still try to do some audio recordings, but the video presentations done recently were of such poor quality as to distract from their content. 

Thus, I should have a new article for you by tomorrow.

Herewith is the reading from Matins for today's Divine Office for the commemorated feast of Saint John Cantius:

This John was the son of godly and respectable parents named Stanislaus and Anne, and was born in the year of our Lord 1397, in the town of Kenty, a place in the diocese of Crakow in Poland, from which he took the Latin name of Cantius. By his gentleness, innocency, and seriousness he gave great hopes even from his childhood. He studied Philosophy and Theology in the University of Crakow, wherein he rose step by step to be a Professor and teacher of those sciences wherein he lectured many years, not only enlightening the minds of his hearers, but stirring up in them all godliness, instructing them by ensample as well as by word. Having taken Priests' orders, he ceased not to busy himself with letters, but added thereto the striving after Christian perfection. He grieved exceedingly that God should be offended on all hands, and offered up to Him, day by day, not without many tears, the Unbloody Sacrifice for a propitiation for himself and for his people. He was for some years a faithful Parish Priest at Ilkusi, but after a while gave it up for fear of the danger of souls, and accepted the call of the University to take up again his Professorship.

What time was left him over from his work, he gave up partly to the profit of his neighbour, more especially in preaching, and partly in prayer, wherein he is said sometimes to have had heavenly visions and messages. The sufferings of Christ took such hold upon him, that he sometimes passed whole nights without sleep in thinking thereon, and that he might more keenly realize them, he made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. There he was seized with such a passionate longing to be a martyr, that he preached Christ crucified even to the Turks. He went four times to Rome to the thresholds of the Apostles, on foot, and laden with a wallet, partly to do honour to the Apostolic See, for which he had a great reverence, and partly (to use his own expression) that he might clear off the pains of his own purgatory by use of the Pardons for sin which are there daily offered. In one of these journeys he was set upon by highway robbers, who plundered him, and having asked him if he had any more, whereto he answered, Nay, left him and fled. Then he remembered that he had some gold pieces sewn up in his clothes. So he ran after the robbers with shouts, and offered them these also, but they were so amazed at the simplicity and charity of the holy man, that they gave him back even that which they had already taken. To hinder scandal-mongering, he wrote up upon the walls, after the ensample of holy Austin [Saint Augustine], certain texts, to be an unceasing warning to himself and others. He gave his own bread to the hungry, and clothed the naked, not with bought raiment only, but by stripping himself of his own garments and shoes, himself meanwhile letting down his own cloak to trail upon the ground, lest any should see that he returned home barefoot.

He slept very little, and that upon the ground; his clothing was enough only to clothe his nakedness, and his food to keep him alive. He kept his virgin purity guarded like a lily among thorns by rough hair-cloth, scourging, and fasting. For about thirty-five years before his death he never tasted flesh- meat. At length, when he was full of days and good works, he felt that death was near, and made himself ready to meet it by a long and careful preparation, and to be the freer, he gave to the poor everything that was left in his house. Strengthened by the Sacraments of the Church, and having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ, he took flight to heaven upon the 24th day of December, (in the year of our Lord 1473.) He was famous for miracles both before and after his death. His body was carried into the University Church of St Anne, hard by his dwelling, and there honourably buried. The popular reverence and the crowds around his sepulchre grew greater day by day, till he hath come to be held in honour as one of the chiefest holy defenders of Poland and Lithuania. At the glory of more wonders, Pope Clement XIII., upon the 16th day of July, in the year 1767, with solemn pomp, enrolled his name among those of the Saints. (Matins, Divine Office, Feast of Saint John Cantius.)

Saint John Cantius remains a contrast with the conciliar revolutionaries, men who mock Holy Purity and bodily morifications, who are continuing their revolutionary work at the ongoing "synod" of the devil at the Aula Paul VI behind the walls of the Occupied Vatican on the West Bankof the Tiber River.

Entrusting these truly tumultuous times to Our Lady through her Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart and by praying as many Rosaries each day as our state-in-life permits, we beg her, the very Mother of God, to help us to make reparation for our own many sins by enduring the crosses of the moment with love, joy, fortitude and gratitude as her consecrated slaves of her Divine Son that her own Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, which will indeed triumph in the end!

The conciliarists lose in the end. Christ the King will emerge triumphant once again as the fruit of the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of His Mother and our Queen, Mary Immaculate. The Church Militant will rise again from her mystical death and burial.

Keep praying. Keep sacrificing. Keep fulfilling Our Lady's Fatima Message in your own lives.

Isn't it time to pray a Rosary right now?

Immaculate Heart of Mary, triumph soon!

Republished: Simply Holy: Father Solanus Casey, O.F.M., Cap. (September 1, 2016)

As I have received inquiries over the course of time about my continued use of The Mystical City of God in its new English edition, I am republishing a reflection about Father Solanus Casey, O.F.M, that was published orginally on September 1, 2016. 

Contained in this reflection on the simply holy life of Father Solanus Casey, O.F.M., Cap, who helped me out in August of 2016 in a most embarrassing situation caused by wholly simple stupidity on my part, is a detailed description of Father Solanus's love of Our Lady and of The Mystical City of God, which he recommended to those who sought him out for spiritual advice and counsel.

This love of The Mystical City of God was not the solitary province of a simplex priest. No, it was shared by the late Father Martin Stepanich, O.F.M., S.T.D., who opened my own rather skeptical eyes in 2007, and by none other than Dom Prosper Gueranger, O.S.B. This commentary includes a link to French language website that contains each  of Dom Prosper Gueranger's twenty-eight articles on The Mystical City of God that were published in L'Univers, a French journal, between 1858 and 1859. I have included this material about The Mystical City of God in this reflection as some have complained to me about my own citations of it over the years, including in my  book, Blessed Among Women: Defending the Sublime Privileges of the Blessed Virgin Mary

May we pray to Our Lady to send us the graces to make us as holy simple and as purely devoted to her as was Father Solanus Casey, O.F.M., Cap., a true miracle worker in life and in death.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Peter of Alcantara, pray for us. 

On the Feast of Saint Luke the Evangelist, October 18, 2024

Today, Friday, October 18, 2024, is the Feast of Saint Luke. This is a brief reflection on the evangelist who is symbolized as a winged ox. 

I have resolved the problem with video recording and hope to record four video presentations today that should be uploaded thereafter and will provide the necessary links on this site. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Luke the Evangelist, pray for us.

Conciliarism's Immutable Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Offend Anyone Except God

A very self-explanatory title that explains how the conciliar revolution has progressed to the point where impentient sinners are reaffirmed by alleged pastors, who condemn anyone who calls sin by its proper name lest the tender sensibilites of those living lives of perdition are offended.

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, pray for us.
