This spiritual resource should have been posted on Friday, May 22, 2018, the second day of the Octave of the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Commemoration (in some places) of Saint Rita of Cascia.

We began the oldest of all of Holy Mother Church's Novenas, the Novena to God the Holy Ghost in preparation for Pentecost Sunday, May 31, 2020, on Friday, May 22, 2020. The last day to pray for the Novena, of course, is on the Vigil of Pentecost, May 30, 2020.

The past five days have been spent revising a book project that should have been published forty-three years ago but languished because of a lack of time to turn its content into a digitized format. A volunteer did the hard work of transcribing four hundred eight pages of text, leaving me with the task of revising the text, writing a new author's foreword and adding an entirely new author's afterword. 

An original article for this site should appear by Thursday, the Octave Day of the Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord and the Commemoration of Saint Augustine of Canterbury.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Philip Neri, pray for us.

Pope Saint Eleutherius, pray for us.

[A new article, Only the Adversary and His Fellow Minions of Hell Attack Our Lady and Her Fatima Message, was published two days ago. Thank you.]

Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ's forty days' of teaching the Apostles after his glorious Resurrection from the dead on Easter Sunday culminated this very day, Ascension Thursday, as He instructed the Eleven as follows before going up into Heaven from Mount Olivet at whose foot He had suffered His Agony in the Garden six weeks before as Saints Peter, James and John slumbered:

"And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And seeing him they adored: but some doubted. And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world." (Matthew 28: 16-20.)

'There is no "expiration" date on this command. Indeed, the commentary in the Bishop Richard Challoner version of the Douay-Rheims Bible explains that the command is in force until Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ comes in glory on the Last Day to judge the living and the dead and that His Church could never go astray, meaning, of course, that it is impossible for the Catholic Church to give any impression at all that God is pleased with false religions such as Mohammedanism and Talmudic Judaism, which is what the conciliar "popes" have done consistently in the past fifty-nine years, having reached the point of complete absurdity now under Jorge Mario Bergoglio:

18 "All power"... See here the warrant and commission of the apostles and their successors, the bishops and pastors of Christ's church. He received from his Father all power in heaven and in earth: and in virtue of this power, he sends them (even as his Father sent him, St. John 20. 21) to teach and disciple, not one, but all nations; and instruct them in all truths: and that he may assist them effectually in the execution of this commission, he promises to be with them, not for three or four hundred years only, but all days, even to the consummation of the world. How then could the Catholic Church ever go astray; having always with her pastors, as is here promised, Christ himself, who is the way, the truth, and the life. St. John 14."

The Catholic Church can never go astray. She is infallible. She does not give us any "new ecclesiology" or "hermeneutic of continuity and discontinuity" to deconstruct the meaning of dogmatic truth, thus attacking the essence of the nature of God Himself, or false ecumenism. Her pastors do not esteem the symbols and values and places of false religions and they do not engage in "inter-religious" "prayer" services. Her pastors do not teach that false religions have a "right" from God to propagate their false beliefs publicly and they do not praise those false beliefs for being "able" to "contribute" to the building of a "better" world. Pastors of the Catholic Church insist always and at all times that Catholicism is the one and only foundation of personal and social order with no equivocation, uncertainty, ambiguity or obscurity of any kind. As Pope Pius XI noted in Mortalium Animos, January 6, 1928, there is need to "strain" to "find" Catholicism in the pronouncements made by Holy Mother Church:

"For the teaching authority of the Church, which in the divine wisdom was constituted on earth in order that revealed doctrines might remain intact for ever, and that they might be brought with ease and security to the knowledge of men, and which is daily exercised through the Roman Pontiff and the Bishops who are in communion with him, has also the office of defining, when it sees fit, any truth with solemn rites and decrees, whenever this is necessary either to oppose the errors or the attacks of heretics, or more clearly and in greater detail to stamp the minds of the faithful with the articles of sacred doctrine which have been explained. " (Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos, January 6, 1928.)

How has the integrity of the doctrine of the First Commandment been stamped on "minds of the faithful" by the words and deeds of the conciliar "popes"?

Christ the King has taken His throne in Heaven. We must ascend with Him in our thoughts and prayers at all times as we refuse to have our minds and hearts poisoned by the words and the deeds of the false shepherds of the counterfeit church of conciliarism who dare to blaspheme God so regularly and so openly and/or who refuse to open their mouths in defense of the honor and majesty and glory of God when He is so blasphemed and offended.

As the angel made clear to the Eleven as they looked into the sky as Our Lord disappeared from their sight on this day, there is work for us to do:

"They therefore who were come together, asked him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? But he said to them: It is not for you to know the times or moments, which the Father hath put in his own power: But you shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost coming upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the uttermost part of the earth. And when he had said these things, while they looked on, he was raised up: and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they were beholding him going up to heaven, behold two men stood by them in white garments. " Who also said: Ye men of Galilee, why stand you looking up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, as you have seen him going into heaven. Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount that is called Olivet, which is nigh Jerusalem, within a sabbath day's journey. And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Jude the brother of James. All these were persevering with one mind in prayer with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren." (Acts 1: 6-14.)

Yes, we can't stand around all day long looking into the sky. There is work for us to do before Our Lord comes for us at the moment of our own Particular Judgments, which can come at any hour and on any day, and at the end of the world to judge the living and the dead. 

The work that we have to do is to sanctify and to save our immortal souls as members of the Catholic Church, work that requires us to be attentive to the graces that were won for us on the wood of the Holy Cross by the shedding of every single drop of Our Blessed Lord Saviour Jesus Christ's Most Precious Blood and the flow into our hearts and souls through the loving hands of Our Lady, she who is the Mediatrix of All Graces. And to cooperate with the graces that Our Lady sends we must be fortified in prayer, which is one of the reasons that we must keep most assiduously the first Novena in the history of the Church, the Novena to God the Holy Ghost. Our Lady was separated from her Divine Son when He Ascended to Heaven. She was united to Him, however, by means of her reception of His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in Holy Communion. She was united to the Apostles and the others who prayed in the same Upper Room where He had instituted the Holy Priesthood and the Holy Eucharist at the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday. She is united to us. She is our Blessed Mother. We need to ask her for all the graces that we need to save and to sanctify our souls as we eschew worldliness, which is the theme of today's substantially revised article, and as we refuse to participate in the fraud of a false religion, conciliarism, that is replete with daily outrages given to her Divine Son, starting with the outrage that is the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical service, and as we make much reparation for our sins and those of the whole world as the consecrated slaves of her Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary.

A blessed Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord Jesus Christ to you all.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

The Holy Apostles, pray for us.

[Update on Sunday, May 10, 2020, the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost and the Commemorations of Saint Antoninus and of Saints Gorgonius and Epimachus: I received an e-mail from a friend informing me that my own e-mail address has been hacked and is being used to send out spam e-mails. Anyone who receives such an e-mail must delete them immediately, and I express my gratitude to our friend for letting know about the hack that resulted in this spam e-mail.]

This commentary was revised near its conclusion to elaborate on one point in more detail, and a new link to the trailer for the Plandemic movie, which featured an interview with Dr. Judy Mikovits (properly spelled), was inserted after a friend brought to my attention the fact that the censorious high priests and priestesses at Google/You Tube, quite predictably, removed the video for violating their own fabricated "community standards."

[Two other additions are being made late on the Feast of the Apparition of Saint Michael the Archangel.

[The first is to a video of a 1979 segment from 60 Minutes exposing the hoax perpetrated on the country by means of the government endorsed Swine Flu Vaccine in 1976: 60 Minutes Expose of Swine Flu Vaccine.

[The second is a link to testimony provided by a physician from the University of Wisconsin concerning how his team is treating patients with legitimate cases of the coronavirus successfully. Dr. Paul Byrne review the protocols for me and said that they were very good: Testimony of Dr. Pierre Kory to United States Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, May 6, 2020.]

With apologies for my long absence from this site, I have been working day and night on the completion of this final installment in the “Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus” series.

The hour is very late and, needless to say, I am very tired. This commentary, though not as lengthy as part two, contains a lot of information, and it is the purpose of this website to view the information of the day solely through the lens of the Catholic Faith.

Although I do need to concentrate next on another book project (there are four in development at this time in addition to the three volumes of To Live in Light of Eternity that are available for sale—scroll below for more information), I will attempt to make time in the next week to compose a relatively brief commentary on the vindication of Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, who was targeted by Barack Hussein Obama/Barry Soetoro the moment he became an adviser to candidate Donald John Trump in 2016.

This current commentary consists of the following sections:

1. Dr. Paul Byrne’s Sober Analysis of the Use of “Palliative Care” in Coronavirus Cases
2. Inflated Numbers, Needless Deaths
3. Trump Has Given Prominence to Bad Actors Who Want to Enslave Us in Order to “Save” Us
4. Mandatory Coronavirus Vaccination and the Digital Certificate
5. Anthony Fauci: Deep State Monster
6. Yes, the Chicoms Did It
7. Adopting the Chicom's Methods of Quashing Dissenting Views from the “Follow the Science” Madness
8. Pretext for Advancing Depopulation
9. A World Rent Asunder by the Protestant Revolution
10. We Must Reform Our Lives
11. On the Feast of the Apparition of Saint Michael the Archangel

Thank you for your patience.

I will try to have the commentary on the injustices done to General Flynn and the release of the United States House of Representatives Intelligence Committee interviews on the “Russian Collusion” hoax by the end of next week, if not before.

The fifty-four day Rosary Novena has ten more days, including today, the Feast of the Apparition of Saint Michael the Archangel, to go before its completion. We pray the Glorious Mysterious today to end the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical abomination (and the false religion from which it originated and which it perpetuates) and for the restoration of a true pope on the Throne of Saint Peter.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Michael the Archangel, pray for and defend and protect us.

Today is the Solemnity of Saint Joseph in Paschaltide, a feast that originated under the title of “The Patronage of Saint Joseph” in 1847 by Pope Pius IX before being given its current name in 1911 and then repositioned two years later on the Wednesday following the Second Sunday after Easter by Pope Saint Pius X. This reflection is by way of an annual reminder, slightly revised, to trust in Saint Joseph, the Patron of the Universal Church and the Protector of the Faithful, in these times of persecution by the forces of Antichrist in the world and in the counterfeit church of conciliarism. 

As I have now published volume three of To Live in Light of Eternity (purchasing information can be found here and here), I am no longer republishing most of the reflections on various feast days that have been incorporated into the first three volumes of the current series of anthologies. 

Thus, my reflection on the life of Saint Peter of  Verona, O.P., the Protomartyr of the Order of Preachers, can be found at:  In His Own Blood.

Work continues on part four of "Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavius," which will take another three to four full days of writing before it is completed. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church and Protector of the Faithful, pray for us. 

Saint Peter Martyr, pray for us.

Yes, another original article. Things just move a little more slowly when one has a slight concussion. I apologize for the delay. 

Additionally, a great deal of time has been spent on trying to get the cover for Volume 3 of To Live in Light of Eternity accepted for publication. A reader with more technological ability that I possess, which is less than zero, spent lots of time on this project before achieving success only Saturday, April 25, 2020, the Feast of Saint Mark the Evangelist. I am very grateful for the help that this individual provided me.

This is as good a time as any, therefore, to let the “vast” readership of this site know that volume 3 is now available for purchase in print form. The only way to under the book as of this writing is to send $21.00 in care of this site’s PayPal button. I will then place each order by ordering “author’s copies.” Shipping is included in the twenty-one dollar purchase price, and books should arrive two to three weeks after they are ordered, if not sooner.

The new volume covers the major liturgical feasts that following Pentecost Sunday (Trinity Sunday, the Solemnity of Corpus Christi and the Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus) and then the feast days of Our Lady and various saints from April 5, Saint Vincent Ferrer, O.P., to July 31, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, S.J. Volume four will be published in June, God willing and Our Lady interceding, although I have three other book projects to complete between now and then.

As to the current new commentary, suffice it to say that the title is pretty self-explanatory as there are even some fully traditional Catholics who refuse to recognize the ecclesiogensis that occurred at the “Second” Vatican Council was centuries in the making. Things just didn’t “happen” at the “Second Vatican Council.

Circumstances require another—and relatively brief—part four of the “Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus” in a few days before work begins on the next book project.

Thank you.

Our Lady of Good Counsel, pray for us.

Pope Saints Cletus and Marcellinus, pray for us.

Saint Peter Canisius, pray for us.

Saint Paul of the Cross, pray for us.

Saint Louis Grignion de Montfort, pray for us.

Although this is Paschaltide, penance is always  in season, and I have being doing a great deal of penance these past six days by attempting to get Volume 3 of To Live in Light of Eternity uploaded according to the cover specifications of Kindle Direct Printing. I have been assisted in this effort by a generous soul who has the sort of computer/graphic skills that I lack, and even he has been frustrated by the repeated stalls over the course of the past six day, during which time I have been working on another article that I hope can be posted by tomorrow, the Feast of Saint Mark the Evangelist. 

In the meantime, I am offering a republished reflection on the life and martyrdom of Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen, O.F.M., Cap.,whose feast is celebrated today, Friday, April 24, 2020.

Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen, O.F.M., Cap. opposed false ecumenism with his very life. Unlike the conciliar "popes" and their "episcopal" henchmen, Saint Fidelis came to "extirpate heresy, not to embrace it."

Another article in the "Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus" series may appear by the end of the coming week, if not sooner. There is not a whole lot more to say than what I have written in the first three parts. However, there it should be very apparent by now that we are being taken for fools by the medical/scientific industry to do the bidding of leftist totlatarians, who are expecting to condition us all into accepting open slavery at their hands, stained by the blood of millions upon millions of innocent babies and untold thousands of those who have been and are being killed by utilitarians in the name of "palliative care."

Killers in white coats abound in the world today. This stands to reason as we live in a world formed by the lies of Martin Luther and the scions of Judeo-Masonry, and the whole fabric of the ecclesiology and pastoral practice of the counterfeit church of conciliarism is based upon an “official reconciliation” with those lies. God will visit a major chastisement upon the “civilized” world for its warfare against truth, which is nothing other than a warfare against Him and His Divine Revelation.

May God have mercy on us all.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen, pray for us.

The dominance of the China/Chinese/Wuhan/Covid-19/Coronavirus has been such as to delay other writing projects, including putting the final touches on Volume 3 of “To Live in Light of Eternity,” which I to have available for sale for the vast multitudes of those who will purchase it by the end of this coming week.

For the moment, though, I have been able to complete a commentary on the “shock” and “outrage” exhibited by “Archbishop” Carlo Maria Vigano about the fact that Jorge Mario Bergoglio relegated the title of “Vicar of Christ” as something merely “historical” in nature and not signifying the office he thinks he holds.

Obviously, Bergoglio is not the Vicar of Christ as he is the sixth in the current line of antipopes. However, the Sherlock Holmeses, Perry Masons, Jacques Clouseaus, Maxwell Smarts and Robert T. Ironsides amongst the rank of “conservative” and semi-traditional Catholic continue to strain to find “clues” to discover what Jorge Mario Bergoglio thinks of the papacy and the Catholic Faith.

This commentary, which is not as long as my trilogy on the coronavirus, is intended to provide a rather through set of reminders that the problem we face is a false church. The conciliar “popes” have simply been and continue to be the “front men” for an enterprise that is of, by and for Antichrist.

Please continue to pray the fifty-four day Rosary Novena, now in its twenty-fifth day (Joyful Mysteries today, Easter Saturday), for an end to the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical service (and the false conciliar religion which produced it and is expressed therein) and for the restoration of a true pope on the Throne of Saint Peter.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

[An Easter Wednesday Update: Although I am not going to revise the text of this current article again, I did discover two interesting pieces of information that support the general conclusions included in parts two and three of this three-part series.

The first piece of information concerns a report that underscores the judgments that had been reached by Dr. Francis Boyle that he offered to Geopolitics & Empire that were reprinted in the March 2020 issue of Christian Order and included in part two of this seires. 

Specifically, a writer named Ben Lowsen is questioning whether Xi Jinping Sickened the World Deliberately. I think that the answer is in the affirmative as Xi Jinping knows that he has a veritable fifth column of support in the American academic, journalistic, political, bureaucratic, entertainment, sports, banking, financial, commerical and medical communities. Look, the United States of America is on  on the "fast track" to becoming the kind of surveillance state that exists in Red China.

Secondly, it turns out that Dr. Anthony Fauci is a huge admirer of Madame Defarge (aka Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton): Leaked E-mails Show Fauci Called "Hillary's Doctor Admirer" and Wanted Her to Know "We  All Love Her. Just another reason not to trust Dr. Anthony Fauci over and above the bogus information and supposed medical expertise that he has been offering to the administration of President Donald John Trump.]

I hereby present to you part three of “Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus," which has undergone a few revisions late on Easter Tueday that provide more documentation for the simple fact that we are witnessing a major fraud being committed upon the people of the United States of America and the rest of the world.

Work now resumes on a Bergoglio-themed commentary.

A continued blessed Easter to you all!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Justin Martyr (whose feast is suppressed this year), pray for us.
