Our one and only goal in this life is to get home to Heaven by dying in a state of Sanctifying Grace as a member of the Catholic Church. Absolutely nothing else matters. The path to Heaven runs through the Cross of our Divine Redeemer, Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, as we consecrate ourselves to Him totally through the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of His Most Blessed Mother.

We must embrace suffering and humiliation and hardship with equanimity, joy and gratitude, mindful of the fact that Our Lady desires use whatever merits we earn from our embrace of our sufferings for the honor and glory of the Most Blessed Trinity and for the good of souls, especially the Poor Souls in the Church Suffering in Purgatory, whose intentions we must remember every day and especially during this month of November. There is no other path to the triumph of the empty tomb other than the suffering of the Cross.

We must also forgive right readily those who have offended us in any way and to ask forgiveness from those whom we have offended, whether advertently or inadvertently. Nothing anyone does to us or says about us is the equal of what one of our least Venial Sins caused Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to suffer in His Sacred Humanity during his Passion and Death and that caused His Most Blessed Mother's Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart to be pierced through and through with Seven Swords of Sorrow. The lesson of the Last Gospel on Sunday, the Feast of Christ the King, for the Twenty-first Sunday after Pentecost, which was read during Mass on Monday, October 30, 2017, is that we will not be forgiven by God unless we forgive others from our heart.

The good, the bad and the ugly of ever person's life is revealed only on the Last Day at the General Judgment of the living and the dead. Let us be content to bear with suffering, humiliation, ostracism and mockery now as a means of so dying to self that we will consider it to be a great honor to be crushed and brought low in the sight of men. Suffering is indeed the path to triumph!

We must continue to pray for each other on a daily basis, praying especially that the disagreements of the present moment in this time of apostasy and betrayal will be washed away by the merits of the Most Precious Blood of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and by the maternal intercession of His Most Blessed Mother.

If we want to be in Heaven for all eternity, you see, in the presence of the Most Blessed Trinity, Our Lady, Saint Joseph and all of the angels of the saints, then it is a pretty good idea to pray for everyone whom God's Providence has placed in our paths, hoping that those from whom we might be estranged at the present time, especially because of the divisions among Catholics created by conciliarism and its apostasies, will be united with us for all eternity in the glories of Heaven, please God that each of us dies in a state of Sanctifying Grace.

One of ways in which we can practice true Charity is to remember the Poor Souls every day in our prayers. Terrible, terrible sinner that I am, one of my devotions has long been to the Poor Souls. To help the Poor Souls repay the debt that they can no longer pay for themselves is to acquire friends for eternity who will help us at the moment of our own deaths. Charity to the Poor Souls can help to undo our own uncharity to others in this passing, mortal vale of tears. This is indeed the month of the Poor Souls.

Let us show them our due attention each and every day of the year, especially in this month of November. Remember, of course, that from noon today on All Saints' Day through midnight of the Commemoration of All Souls tomorrow the Catholic faithful, as often as they visit a church or to pray for the dead, reciting six times during each visit the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be for the intentions of Holy Mother Church may gain a plenary indulgence applicable only to the souls in Purgatory, under the usual conditions of making a good Confession within a week before or after, worthily receiving Holy Communion within the week and having the right intention of heart. This is called the Toties Quoties Indulgence.

Also, courtesy of the Daily Catholic website, are the Thirty-Day De Profundis Prayers for the Holy Souls in Purgatory. (Link provided in text of this brief reflection.)

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

All the Saints, pray for us.

A blessed All Saints Day to you all!

(An original article was posted about nine hours ago now. Please scroll below.)

As the hour is late and physical strength is wan, permit me to tell you that this is a brief commentary on a story that was sent to me by a friend yesterday, the Vigil of All Saints, about sub secreto efforts to concoct an "ecumenical Mass" that would not be premised upon an acceptance of the Catholic doctrine of Transubstantiaton. 

I had been working on an article about the counterfeit church of conciliarism' "stamp of approval" upon Martin and Luther and Philip Melancthon. However, I decided to complete this article first. 

Be patient. It's off to the cardiologist later today before undergoing the chemically-induced nuclear stress test. I will try to get the next commentary done within the next day or two.

A revised reflection on All Saints Day will appear later today.

Our Lady, Queen of All Saints, pray for us.

All the Saints, pray for us.

This is an article that I meant to write last week but was prevented from doing so because of circumstances beyond my control.

The title is pretty self-explanatory as Dr. Paul A. Byrne has been “disqualified” by a Canadian judge from testifying in behalf of the family of a twenty-seven year-old Canadian woman, Taquisha McKitty, who was declared “brain death” shortly after taking an overdose of illegal drugs because he. Dr. Byrne, is “biased” again the medical industry’s manufactured, profit-making myth, “brain death,” that is merely a device to vivisect living human beings in order to “give the gift of life.”

May God have mercy on us all.

Please pray for Dr. Byrne and the McKitty family at this time.

This will be a busy week (cardiologist visit on Wednesday; nuclear stress test and echo cardiogram on Friday). It is my hope to have an article tomorrow about the five hundredth anniversary of Martin Luther’s diabolically-inspired revolution against the Divine Plan that God Himself instituted to effect man’s return unto Him through His Catholic Church, although it might appear very late in the day tomorrow.

As always, there is a need for non-tax-deductible financial gifts from those who are able and willing to do so.

Our Lay of the Rosary.

This is a third reflection on today's Feast of Christ the King. 

The work that has been done in the printed pages of Christ or Chaos from 1996 to 2003 that has been continued on this website since February 20, 2004, has attempted to help readers to see the world more clearly through the eyes of the true Faith, outside of which no one can be saved and without which there can be no true and lasting social order. Most importantly, though, we must remember that we must build up the reign of Christ the King in our souls before He can reign over our nation, and to do this we need the help of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Immaculate Queen, especially through her Most Holy Rosary, as without her help we are lost.

Vivat Christus Rex!

Viva Cristo Rey!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

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

As we live in the midst of the insanity, the utter madness of the absolute farce that is our Judeo-Masonic governmental system, we must always be champions of Christ the King as His totally consecrated slaves through His Most Blessed Mother's Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart. Our Lord is meant to be King of both men and their nations. We must never fall for the diabolical trap posed by the organized forces of naturalism in our country. We must rally at all times to the cause of Christ the King, Whose cause is defended by neither the naturalists in political parties or the conciliarists in the counterfeit church of conciliarism.

Remember, the coup that made it possible for the likes of Robert Mueller to effect a coup against a fellow naturalist he believes to be on the "wrong" side of the naturalist divide was undertaken by Martin Luther just two days shy of five hundred years ago. Luther's coup against Christ the King and His true Church is being celebrated by Jorge Mario Bergoglio and his band of conciliar revolutionaries. Una cum Francisco, anyone?

Vivat Christus Rex!

Viva Cristo Rey!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

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-second observance of the Feast of Christ the King since its institution.

A revised reflection will follow shortly. (I was unable to do any work after posting my reflection on Saint Jude Thaddeus as the onset of an unexpected illness overcame me. Penance is good!)

A blessed Feast of Christ the King to you all!

Vivat Christus Rex! Viva Cristo Rey!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Although well after First Vespers for the Feast of Christ the King, this reflection on Saint Jude Thaddeus and his great intercessory power is being posted. Special attention is given in tihs article to the fact that Saint Jude Thaddeus carried on his person the Holy Shroud on which is impresed the image of the Holy Face of Jesus. Devotion to the Holy Face is one of the ways God has given us in this time of apostasy and betrayal to make reparation for the crimes of all blasphers and communists, including the conciliar revolutionaries.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Jude Thaddeus, pray for us.

This reflection on the message of Our Lady of Fatima, which includes brief reflections on the liturgical feasts that took place (or were to take place in the future) on each of the dates of Our Lady’s apparitions to Jacinta and Francisco Marto and Lucia dos Santos in the Cova da Iria near Fatima, Portugal, one hundred years ago, took the better part of a week to complete.

While there are other commentaries upon which work has been started, much time was taken to complete this reflection as I believe anything that can be done, no matter how miniscule in comparison with the work of others, to promote the cause of Our Lady’s Fatima Message is worth all the time necessary to complete it. Thank you for your patience as this was being written and finalized.

Also, Jorge Mario Bergoglio has laid down the law to Robert “Cardinal” Sarah, the prefect of the conciliar Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, concerning Sarah’s efforts to spin Magnum Principium, September 3, 2017, into a means to reaffirming the power of conciliar dicasteries in Rome over national episcopal conferences concerning the translation of liturgical texts into the vernacular (see the story at Jorge Clarifies Shitft of Liturgical Translations from Rome to the Local Level.) In other words, it’s liturgical free-for-all time, which is pretty much what it has been in the past forty-eight years despite various efforts by Karol Joseph Wojtyla/John Paul II and Joseph Alois Ratzinger/Benedict XVI to curb “abuses” in the liturgical abuse par excellence, the Protestant and Judeo-Masonic Novus Ordo liturgical service.

My own commentary on Magnum Principium was posted early last month. It might be worth a review in light of the Argentine Apostate’s correction of “Cardinal” Sarah: Jorge Codifies His Irreversible Revolution/Jorge's Intellectually Dishonest Defense of the Indefensible, part three.

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us.

Pope Saint Evaristus, pray for us.

(A postscript: I owe e-mails to two readers of this site. As I have been singularly focused on the completion of the new reflection and am very tired as this is being posted, I beg the patience of these readers until later today, the Feast of Pope Saint Evaristus.)

Although I am working on several other articles, today’s commentary focuses on an address that Jorge Mario Bergoglio gave to the “World Methodist Federation” on Thursday, October 19, 2017, the Feast of Saint Peter of Alcantara. Suffice it to say that Bergoglio would have us believe that even the Adversary could bring us to a “a true knowledge of Christ.”

By the way, we still need non-tax-deductible financial gifts. One friend provided such a gift privately. However, more are needed to defray the recent unexpected expenses. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Hilarion, pray for us.

Saint Ursula and her Companions, pray for us.
