An Urgent Message from Bishop Strickland Published: October 15, 2025 My dear brothers and sisters, Today, with deep sorrow for the state of our beloved Church, I must speak. Pope Leo XIV has appointed Cardinal Blasé Cupich of Chicago to the governing council of Vatican City. This is not a small administrative act; it is a declaration of direction. Cardinal Cupich has publicly opposed the Traditional Latin Mass, has tolerated and even celebrated politicians who advance abortion, and has consistently undermined those who defend the sanctity of life and the fullness of Catholic doctrine. To elevate such a man to one of the governing bodies of the Vatican is to send a message to faithful Catholics across the world: that fidelity to tradition and the moral law is now treated as an obstacle rather than a light. I speak not in rebellion but in obedience to the truth of Christ, Who said, “Let your speech be yea, yea; no, no” (Matthew 5:37). My loyalty to the papal office remains, but loyalty …More
Key Points We are living very difficult times. We may feel that the Lord is not responding to our prayers. Jesus is especially demanding of His friends. He calls them to extreme faith. In order to prepare His great mercies. Introduction: When God Seems Absent Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. Both Martha and Mary say that. Have you ever felt that way? Have you ever felt sometimes that you’re praying intensely and God doesn’t seem to be listening, He doesn’t seem to respond? You needed Him, and He seemed absent. Maybe you’ve tried to be faithful to Him and are wondering, why doesn’t God listen to me? Or you’re praying for someone—yourself, or maybe someone that you care about—and it feels like nothing is happening. I wanted to focus on that today in today’s Gospel, because it shows Jesus interacting with very special friends of His, and it shows that He asks more of His special friends. These were very special friends. The Gospel itself says, “Now Jesus …More
Reconquest to God;'s Children Divine Mercy and Justice Jesus , "I Trust in You". Write, Florecita. Every charism, every gift that has come from Me produces holy fruit for all My children. Each gift is useful when, having received it, the soul offers it to Me, that I might show how, when, and where to use it. They are the instruments of work that I give to you, the necessary tools [given] according to the work that I entrust to you. I do not give anything in vain, children. But just as I give you My Grace and you misuse it on so many occasions, so My gifts are refused, ignored, misused, distorted by the pride instigated by Satan. And when these tools that I give you become truncated, so do the works, the missions that I give to you. And how many missions have been thus left incomplete, useless, and your souls perceiving this disorder cause you to suffer. This too will be renewed, children. Be encouraged. Each gift in its place. All working for the purpose for which they were granted, all …More

Good Friday Meditation: Mary is Co-Redemptrix The first papal usage of the term occurs in an allocution by Pope Pius XI (1922-1939) to pilgrims from Vicenza on 30 November 1933: From the nature of His work the Redeemer ought to have associated His Mother with His work. For this reason We invoke her under the title of Coredemptrix. She gave us the Savior, she accompanied Him in the work of Redemption as far as the Cross itself, sharing with Him the sorrows of the agony and of the death in which Jesus consummated the Redemption of mankind. On March 23, 1934, the Lenten commemoration of Our Lady of Sorrows, Pius XI received two groups of Spanish pilgrims, one of which was composed of members of Marian Congregations of Catalonia. L'Osservatore Romano did not publish the text of the Pope's address, but rather reported his principal remarks to these groups. Noting with pleasure the Marian banners carried by these pilgrims, he commented that they had come to Rome to celebrate with the Vicar of …More

The two Catholic Dogmas that infuriate the world (including worldly prelates, who's offices I acknowledge and respect) more than any others: 1. Virtuous carnal relations are strictly limited to the marriage bed with the intent of procreation destined for Holy Baptism. 2. Voluntary renunciation of the carnal relations(even in marriage) is the Christian Ideal. (Jesus, Mary, Joseph & Countless Saints).
St. Athanasius ~~~ Devils take great delight in fullness, and drunkenness and bodily comfort. Fasting possesses great power and it works glorious things...

2017-05-28 - For Souls Who Feel Discouraged … Message from God the Father (May 28–30, 2017) Summary This message is addressed to discouraged souls who sincerely desire to do God’s will but feel poor and incapable. God the Father speaks as a loving Father (Abba), not a stern judge. He acknowledges their torment and desire to please Him, emphasizing that He sees them as little children and is happy with their simple desire to love and obey Him. He explains that spiritual growth, like nature, happens gradually—little by little. The key is to abandon self-reliance and allow God to act within them. Perfection is defined as the fullness of God’s Love dwelling in them, achieved by letting God enlarge their hearts through trust and surrender. The Father reassures them that He understands their struggles, values their efforts, and asks primarily for their love, trust, and childlike abandonment—not merely external practices. The ultimate goal is union with Him through love. Step-by-Step …More
