This is the fourth of a series that began six months ago about the endless conflicts that must take place in the Middle East until everyone there exclaims "Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in Excelsis!"

A reflection on today's transferred Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary can be found by scrolling below.

Finally, although the next commentary will be a scathing review of Donald John Trump's "final" statement about the chemical and surgical execution of the innocent preborn, the one after that, which may take a few days to complete, will be a thorough evaluation of Victor Manuel Fernandez's Dignitatis Infinita, March 25, 2024, which is a typical conciliarspeak piece based upon mostly naturalistic and corrupted "interpretations" of Catholic teaching. 

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Early April 9, 2024, update: Although I am working on my brief commentary about Pontius Trump's definitive surrender to the "will of the people," the hour, at 12:31 a.m., is too late to continue to working given the hour at which this commentary was posted twenty-three hours go. I will get back to work this afternoon and post it upon completion thank you. Also, there is a need to raise over $2000 for medical expenses. Non tax-deductible financial gifts are thus needed. Much obliged.

Today's article is a slightly revised reflection on the transferred feast we celebrate today, the feast which signifies the moment when the Second Person of the Most Blessed Trinity, the very Word through Whom all things were made, personally entered into human history as He was made Incarnate in the Virginal and Immaculate Womb of His Most Blessed Mother by the power of the Third Person of the Most Blessed Trinity, God the Holy Ghost, Who overshadowed Our Lady after she had given her perfect Fiat to the Will of the First Person of the Most Blessed Trinity, God the Father, as that Will was made known to her by Saint Gabriel the Archangel.

The whole of human history is changed today--and no one can remain neutral about what happened on this day. If the Second Person of the Most Blessed Trinity really did become Man this day in Our Lady's Virginal and Immaculate Womb so as to redeem us on the wood of the Holy Cross thirty-three years later, as we know is indeed the case, then every person and every nation on the face of this earth must acknowledge this fact and subordinate everything to the Deposit of Faith that He has entrusted exclusively to His Catholic Church for Its eternal safekeeping and infallible explication.

We must pray to Our Lady every day so that we will never lose sight of the centrality of the Incarnation in our own lives and in the lives of our nations, never lose sight of the fact that Holy Mass itself is Incarnational as the Word Who was made Incarnate in her Virginal and Immaculate Womb is made Incarnate on altars of sacrifice under the appearances of bread and wine by true bishops and true priests. Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ spent nine months in the tabernacle of Our Lady's Virginal and Immaculate Womb, thereby sanctifying the wombs of al mothers. He is in solidarity with every child in every mother's womb. Every abortion, whether by chemical or surgical means, is an indirect attack on the Incarnation that took place this very day.

A blessed Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to you all.'

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Today, April 5, 2024, is Easter Friday and the Commemoration of Saint Vincent Ferrer, O.P., who was never afraid to display the Holy Cross of the Divine Redeemer before anyone, including Jews and Mohammedans.

The next original article to appear on this site will be Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini, Hosanna in Excelsis, part five, and will deal with the ongoing genocide being committed by the Israeli Defense Force against the Palestinians. The killing is so unrestricted that even a vehicle delivering aid to the refugees made homeless by the shelling of Gaza City was itself the target of an Israeli attack.  The situation has been further escalated by an Israeli airstrike that destroyed the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria, and killed a top Iranian military commander in charge of the Mohammedan nation's forces there. 

Here is some good travel advice: Do not plan any trips to the Holy Land this year.

May God have mercy on us all.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Vincent Ferrer, O.P., pray for us.

This is a brief follow-up to the commentary published three days ago. Another original commentary will follow in a day or two.

Once again, this would be a most propitious time for those who are willing and have the financial wherewithal to do so to make a non-tax-deducible financial gift to help defray the costs of completely unexpected expenses, including of a medical and mechanical nature. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint Isidore of Seville, pray for us.

A self-explanatory title, which is about all I have strength enough to write at a very late/early overnight hour.

Another original commentary will follow in day or two.

Alleluia! Chirst is Risen!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

I am providing you with Father Francis X. Weninger’s first sermon for Easter Monday as it is every timely despite its being written and delivered around one hundred thirty-five years ago.

This sermon, which the book publisher explains in a prefatory note was written in German, focused on the persecution of Holy Mother Church, and believing Catholics by the thirty-third degree Freemasonic Chancellor of the German Empire, Otto von Bismarck, during the Kulturkampf that began shortly after the end of the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. Father Weninger’s exhortation for courage in the midst of this persecution will provide Catholics today with great encouragement in the midst of the persecutions and acts of government repression that are employed here in the United States of America and elsewhere in the so-called “civilized” world during the plandemic.

Please take the time to read this truly inspirational sermon. You will not regret doing so.

An original commentary will be published within fifteen minutes of this posting.

Alleluia! Christ is Risen!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Herewith republished are three of Father Francis X. Weninger's sermons for Easter Sunday!

Alleluia! Christ is Risen!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

A postscript: Although I am not umindful of the blasphemous, sacrilegious event taking place at the White House today, this is Easter Sunday. A commentary on this unspeakably horrid matter will be posted tomorrow, Easter Monday, April 1, 2024.

Alleluia! He is Risen!

Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ has made manifest His Easter Victory over sin and eternal death. “O death, where is Thy victory. O death, where is thy sting?”

We shall all indeed rise again: but we shall not all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall rise again incorruptible: and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption; and this mortal must put on immortality. And when this mortal hath put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy victory? O death, where is thy sting?

Now the sting of death is sin: and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who hath given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast and unmoveable; always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. (1 Cor. 15: 51-58)

Our Lord made His Easter Victory over sin and eternal death manifest first to His Most Blessed Mother, who stood so valiantly at the foot of His Most Holy Cross as she cooperated completely in His Redemptive Act, bringing us forth as the spiritual sons and daughters of the living God in great pain by means of adoption. W need to rely on the help of Our Lady as the consecrated slaves of Her Divine Son through her own Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart so that we may persevere in a state of Sanctifying Grace with perfect contrition for our sins until the moments of our deaths so that our bodies and souls will be resurrected on the Last Day at the General Judgment of the Living and the Dead and counted among those destined for the enjoyment of an unending Easter Sunday of glory in Paradise.

Nothing else matters if we save our souls by cooperating with the graces won for us by the shedding of every single drop of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ's Most Precious Blood on the wood of the Holy Cross and that flow into our hearts and souls through the loving hands of Our Lady, she who is the Mediatrix of All Graces. Nothing else matters if we fail to soul our souls.

This glorious day of Easter rejoicing is meant to be but a foretaste of Heaven. Let us live as redeemed creatures as we reject the naturalism of Modernity and the Modernism of the soul-killing agents of the counterfeit church of conciliarism. This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad!

A blessed Easter Sunday to you all!

Alleluia! Christ is Risen!

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Silence filled the earth in the forty hours between the death of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on the wood of the Holy Cross yesterday, Good Friday, and His glorious Resurrection at dawn on Easter Sunday. Silence filled the earth as the God-Man went down into Limbo to announce the news of His Redemptive Act to the souls of the just who had awaited His Coming and His Sacrifice in atonement for the sins of all men from the beginning until the end of time.

Christ the King is the Light of the World. It is His light that is symbolized by the Easter fire that is lit at the beginning of the Easter Vigil. The Light of Christ breaks through the darkness of sin and eternal death, leading us by the fire of His bright, burning love as we continue our desert journey of life to the Promised Land of the New and Eternal Canaan made possible by His immolation on the wood of the Holy Cross yesterday, Good Friday. We must follow the Light of Christ as He, the New Moses, leads us as the first Moses led the Hebrew people as he followed a column of cloud during the day and a column of fire during the night, as we reminded once again during the Prophecies that are read during the Easter Vigil.

The Light of Christ, Our Crucified and Resurrected Saviour, will penetrate the souls of those who are baptized today and of those who are confirmed. It will penetrate the souls of those of us who were unable to receive Him in Holy Communion yesterday at the Mass of the Presanctified. It will penetrate the souls of those who are regenerated once again in the Sacred Tribunal of Penance. The Light of Christ that is symbolized by the Paschal Candle is meant to permeate every aspect of our lives without any exception at any time for any reason.

The Light of Christ has indeed broken through the darkness of sin and eternal death. Our Lord is making manifest His Easter Victory over the power of sin and eternal death. A fifty day period of glorious celebration is about to break upon us. Although the Easter Vigil is a long ceremony, eternity is forever. We can certainly spend five hours basking in the glories of the Sacred Liturgy that are, after all, a foretaste of eternal glories, can we not?

The rewards are truly Heavenly, rewards that we could not have unless the Co-Eternal and Co-Equal Son obeyed His Heavenly Father out of love for him and out of love for us so that we could have access to the treasures of His Most Sacred Heart here through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

A blessed Holy Saturday to you.
