First Friday October 2023 There have been many sacramentals in honor of the Blessed Virgin, but the Dominican Rosary seems to be favored above all others. The Rosary is the sign of a true Catholic. It is a beautiful prayer, but it is difficult and is often neglected because it requires effort. The Rosary is…
Feast of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus 2023 Investiture of Sister Rose Michael When the priest gives the habit of Mount Carmel, it is Christ Himself giving the habit and all the graces attached to it. God wishes that a person embrace religion willingly, without any external pressure. In poverty we place all our…
Feast of St. Michael 2023 Devotion to St. Michael predates the Church herself. In the Old Testament he was the protector of God’s people and now he is the protector of the Catholic Church. St. Michael is truly a universal devotion and can be found throughout the centuries in both the Eastern and Western Church. …
Feast of the Seven Sorrows 2023 All of Our Lord’s acts had infinite value because He is God. The Blessed Virgin Mary is called the Associate of Redemption by her union of friendship, love, and emotion. She has an intimate union with God. We all weep, because we are injured, or mistreated, or ignored, or…
Exaltation of the Holy Cross 2023 It was through the tree that sin entered the world, and it is through the tree of the Cross that all things are purified. The brazen serpent of Moses was a prefiguring of the Cross. The sign of death becomes the sign of salvation. We must learn our lessons…
