Second Sunday of Advent 2023 With great hope we are reminded of eternity during this season. All virtue builds on nature, and the same is true of the virtue of hope. Hope cannot exist without difficulty and tribulation. We hope in God, not despite our sufferings, but in light of our sufferings. The saints took…

All Souls Day 2023 The Mass of the dead is really the Mass of life. Virtually nobody prays for the dead, which is a great injustice. Although Purgatory is not formally denied, it is simply never mentioned. We must pray for the priests and religious who held fast to the true traditions of our Faith,…
All Saints Day Evening 2023 Today we celebrate one of the marks of the true Church – her holiness. The almost innumerable saints in Heaven are the result of the redemption Christ won on the cross. Today we especially celebrate the unknown saints. If we wish to change the course of history, we must be…
