Although I am busy at work on the next original article for this site and am holding out some hope for its completion by late tonight, I offer the readers of this site a brief and revised reflection on two saints who opposed heresy, Saint Nicholas of Myra and Saint Ambrose of Milan. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Nicholas of Myra, pray for us.

Saint Ambrose, pray for us.

This article, which was  substantially revised and enlarged reflection three years ago, on the life and the tireless apostolic work of the great Jesuit missionary and one the original members of Saint Ignatius of Loyola’s Company of Jesus, Saint Francis Xavier.

The title of the revised article reflects the disparaging term that Jorge Mario Bergoglio used to compare believing Catholics with modern-day faithful, believing Mohammedans who take the words of the blasphemous Koran seriously by committing acts of wanton murder against “infidels.” Saint Francis Xavier worked tirelessly for the conversion of those who belonged to false religions. Then again, he was a true Jesuit priest. Jorge Mario Bergoglio is a lay Jesuit revolutionary masquerading as a “pope," a man who expelled himself from the bosom of the Catholic Church in his youth as he mocked the Immemorial Mass of Tradition and taught to disparage Catholic doctrine as being in opposition to the Gospel of Christ the King.

A Novena in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which begins today and ends on December 11, 2019, can be found in the appendix to this reflection.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Francis Xavier, S.J., pray for us.

This is a republished reflection on the season of Advent.

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

Saint Andrew the Apostle, pray for us.

Access to the internet is spotty these days.

Here is a spiritual resource of three novenas that each Catholic should pray.

O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

Saint Andrew the Apostle, pray for us.

Although not on the General Roman Calendar, today, Wednesday, November 27, 2019, is the Feast of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. Although not observed universally on a mandatory basis, this feast is is nevertheless an important one to commemorate as this powerful sacramental is yet another sign of the love that pours out from the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus through the hands of Our Lady, she who is the Mediatrix of All Graces, despite our own ingratitude and infidelities. [This feast is one that, traditionally, had been celebrated solemnly in the Diocese of Brooklyn, and it was within the boundaries of that diocese that I was born on Saturday, November 24, 1951, three days before this feast day that year.]

This reflection was written in 2010 and published in two parts. It was three years ago now that it was combined into one part and revised slightly in a few places.

An original article is in the process of being written.

Finally, sixty copies of To Live in Light of Eternity, Volume 1, have been printed. I will make them available for purchase within the next few days, and they will be in my own possession to ship on Thursday, December 5, 2019. This is first of many book projects so that a selected sampling of the articles on this site can be put into hard copies before the ever-tolerant scions of the false opposite of the naturalist "left" comes to shut down sites such as this one. 

Thank you.

Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, pray for us.

Saint Catherine Laboure, pray for us.

This is a republished reflection about Pope Saint Clement that includes the following passage from Dom Prosper Gueranger's The Liturgical Year:

With only one exception, all of the documents which attest Clement's intervention in the affairs of distant churches have perished with time; but the one that remains shows us in full action the monarchical power of the bishop of Rome at that primitive epoch. The church of Corinth was disturbed with intestine quarrels caused by jealously against certain pastors. These divisions, the germ of which had appeared even in St. Paul's time, had destroyed all peace, and were causing scandal to the very pagans. The Corinthians at last felt the necessity of putting an end to a disorder which might be prejudicial to the extension of the Christian faith; and for this purpose it was requisite to seek assistance from outside. The apostle had all departed this life, except St. John, who was still the light of the Church. It was not great distance from Corinth to Ephesus where the apostle resided: yet it was not to Ephesus but to Rome that the church of Corinth turned. Clement examined the case referred to his judgment by that church, and sent to Corinth five commissaries to represent the Apostolic See. They were bearers of a letter, which St. Irenaeus calls potentissimas litteras. It was considered at the time so beautiful and so apostolic, that it was long read in many churches as a sort of continuation of the canonical Scriptures. Its tone is dignified but paternal, according to St. Peter's advice to pastors. There is nothing in it of a domineering spirit; but the grave and solemn language bespeaks the universal pastor, whom none can disobey without disobeying God Himself. These words so solemn and so firm wrought the desired effect: peace was re-established in the church of Corinth, and the messengers of the Roman Pontiff soon brought back the happy news. A century later, St. Dionysius, bishop of Corinth, expressed to Pope St. Soter the gratitude still felt by his flock towards Clement for the service he had rendered. (Dom Prosper Gueranger, O.S.B., The Liturgical Year.)

Dom Prosper Gueranger, O.S.B,, understood that was and can be no such thing as "resistance" to a true and legitimate Successor of Saint Peter.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Clement, pray for us.

This is a very brief, republished reflection on the heroic virtues of Saint Ceclia, whose feast is commemorated today, November 22, 2020, the Twenty-fifth and Last Sunday after Pentecost.

Work continues apace on the next original commentary.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Cecilia, pray for us.

Today is the Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is a short reflection on the feast day, which is followed by an appendix including the description of the Presentation of Our Lady as found in The New English Edition of The Mystical City of God.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

The circus is back in town, and it is being led by a latter-day Captain Kangaroo who is running a kangaroo court on Capitol Hill.

While the ongoing coup by naturalists who belong to the organized crime family of the naturalist “left” against the naturalist in the White House is interesting, we are simply witnessing what must happen to men and their nations when they are not subordinate to Christ the King and His Catholic Church. The “left” may not oust Trump, but they will prevail sooner or later as naturalism of any kind is evil and that which is evil can never be used to defeat another kind of naturalism.

The only defense against naturalism is Catholicism.

Have you read that before on this website?

Well, you can read it yet again.

Another original article will follow in about five days. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Felix of Valois, pray for us.

This is a republished reflection on the suffering endured by the very first member of the Third Order of Saint Francis of Assisi, Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, who suffered much at the hands of her family members and even at the hands of the poor whose welfare she provided so generously when her husband, Louis, was the Landgrieve of Thuringia.

Yesterday's original commentary, Sin: More Deadly Than the Coronavirus, part seven, has been revised to include an urgent statement, distributed via email, by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the Chairman and Chief Legal Counsel of Children's Health Defense, about the inherent dangers of the vaccines that been developed at "warp speed" by Big Pharma that change the recipients' genetic structure irreversibily. Kennedy's statement is concise and very readable. Please make sure to read it within yesterday's commentary and to distribute his urgent statement as widely as possible.

I am working on the next commentary, although, reasonably speaking, it might be until Monday, November 23, 2020, the Feast of Pope Saint Clement, before it can be completed and posed.  

As noted yesterday, any and all non tax-deductible financial gifts would be very helpful at this time. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, pray for us.

Pope Saint Pontianus, pray for us.
