Dear Friends and Benefactors, The “Magnificat” of Our Lady contains an abundance of holy mysteries worthy for our daily meditation. In explaining this greatest of Biblical canticles, Saint John Eudes, in his wonderful book “The Admirable Heart of Mary”, says that Sacred Scripture includes a number of inspired canticles that were composed by saintly women, for example, the canticles of Mary, sister of Moses and Aaron, of Deborah, of Judith, of Anna, mother of the prophet Samuel, all of which give thanks to God for outstanding favors received from His divine bounty. But the holiest and worthiest of all canticles is…
Read More “Music can both establish and destroy morality. For no path is more open to the soul for the formation thereof than through the ears. Therefore, when the rhythms and modes have penetrated even to the soul through these organs, it cannot be doubted that they affect the soul with their own character and conform it to themselves.” (6th Century Christian philosopher Anicius Boethius)Boethius attested to the awareness that ancient peoples had about the influence of music. So great was the regard for music among them, that they looked on it as having a definite power over the soul. A teacher…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, “The Bible does not make mistakes.” (Catholic scientist Fernand Crombette) The Holy Roman Catholic Church is the one guardian and only true interpreter of Holy Scripture. Galileo and the heliocentrists or Copernicans have attacked a truth of faith, namely, that Holy Scripture is inspired and inerrant in all its parts and that we may not depart from the common agreement of the Fathers in our interpretations. GALILEO’S HERESY Now that in recent years the traditional teaching of the Church about Creation and a literal reading of Genesis is being vindicated with the downfall of Darwinism, so…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, “He descended into hell…” (Fifth Article of the Apostles Creed)These words of the Apostles Creed (which, hopefully, all of us are saying everyday when we faithfully pray devoutly Our Lady’s Rosary) refer to the soul of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which after His Death on the Cross, descended into ‘Limbo’ (Bosom of Abraham, Limbo of the Fathers) – that is, to the place where the souls of the just who died before Christ were detained, and were waiting for the time of their redemption, since the Gates of Heaven were closed after the sin of Adam, which…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, “The only true riches are those that make us rich in virtue.”Pope Saint Gregory the Great St. Gregory the Great (540-604), also known as Gregory I (Feastday – March 12), is one of the four great Traditional Doctors of the Latin Church (along with Saint Ambrose of Milan, Saint Augustine of Hippo, and Saint Jerome). Many claim him to be the holiest Pope that the Catholic Church has had since Saint Peter himself. HIS EARLY LIFESt. Gregory, as the original “Butler’s Lives of the Saints” says, from his illustrious actions and extraordinary virtues, surnamed the Great, was…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, “A single tear shed at the remembrance of the Passion of Jesus is worth more than a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, or a year of fasting on bread and water.” (Saint Augustine). The history of the Sacred Passion and Death of Our Lord contains excellencies and advantages of its own above all other subjects on which we can exercise ourselves in meditation. Meditation or mental prayer on the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ is good for all persons and for all conditions of men. As Saint Bonaventure explains, “He who desires to go on advancing from virtue…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, “I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.” (Genesis 3:15)These words, addressed to the serpent in the days which the Church seeks to bring before the minds of her children on the Feast of Saint Cyril of Alexandria (February 9), have dominated the world’s history. According to the renowned author of “The Liturgical Year”, the woman, who was the first to fall victim to Satan’s deceits, was, in Mary, the first to rise. In Her Immaculate…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, “Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a Son: and thou shalt call His Name JESUS. For He shall save His people from their sins.” (Saint Matthew 1:20-21) The Christmas and Epiphany seasons are a wonderful time to learn more about the silent Saint, the greatest Saint after Our Blessed Mother. Some excerpts from “Divine Favors Granted to St. Joseph” will enlighten us in this January Newsletter. We also beseech Saint Joseph to guide…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, «MARY KEPT ALL THESE WORDS, PONDERING THEM IN HER HEART» Devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary is by no means new, for it springs from the adorable Heart of the most Holy Trinity, and it is as old as the Christian religion and the gospel itself. St. Luke the Evangelist bears witness to this in one chapter of his gospel by making twice a particular mention of her Immaculate Heart. In the nineteenth verse of chapter two he says: “But Mary kept all these words, pondering them in her heart;’ and in the fifty-first verse: “And…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, “PUT ME AS A SEAL UPON THY HEART” Christ gave all Christians this command: “Put me as a seal upon thy heart, as a Seal upon thy arm,” (Cant. 8, 6) that is, impress upon yourself inwardly and outwardly the image of my interior and exterior life. “For love is as strong as death, jealousy as hard as hell,” which means, as I have died a most cruel death to turn your love back to me, so if you love me, you must likewise die to sin, to yourselves, to the world and to all things,…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, Christmas Day gives us true joy! Sinful men have had a Saviour born for them. Men who lived in the midst of darkness have had their darkness pierced by the Light of Lights, preceded by the very Star of Bethlehem that guided the Three Kings of the East to render their own acts of adoration to the Christ Child and veneration to His Most Blessed Mother. Pope Leo XIII, in his Encyclical Letter, ‘Exeunte Iam Anno’, issued 135 years ago on Christmas Day, explained this great Mystery in the following manner: Now the whole…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, Most Catholic adults go to Hell, according to the famous sermon of Saint Leonard of Port Maurice on “The Little Number of Those Who Are Saved.” Truly a sober thought that should wake us up and refine our lives as we approach the Holy Season of Advent. This may be our last Advent! WHO WAS SAINT LEONARD OF PORT MAURICE?(Feast Day – November 26: “The Franciscan Book of Saints”, Marion A. Habig, OFM) Leonard was born in 1676 at Port Maurice, a seaport near Genoa, the son of Dominic Casanova, a ship captain. Dominic raised his…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, “MY BELOVED TO ME, AND I TO HIM” “My beloved to me, and I to him.” (Cant. 2, 16) “I to my beloved, and my beloved to me.” (Ibid. 6, 2) “I to my beloved, and his turning is towards me,” (Ibid. 7, 10) with His mind, His heart, His affection and His whole being. It is not without mystery that the Blessed Virgin Mary repeats the three foregoing verses under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, speaking in the sacred Canticle, which is so mysterious and full of eternal verities. The preceding three verses admit of…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, “Dominus Rex noster, ipse salvabit nos!The Lord is our King, it is He Who will save us.”(Antiphon of Vespers of Christ the King).The Reign of Christ the King: In Both Public and Private Life. “He must reign! He must reign!”On December 11, 1925, Pope Pius XI promulgated his Encyclical letter “Quas primas”, on the Kingship of Christ. The Encyclical examined in detail what the Pope described correctly as “the chief cause of the difficulties under which mankind was laboring.” He explained that the manifold evils in the world are due to the fact that the majority…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, For the Feast of Saint Michael the Archangel (September 29), in one of the Matins’ lessons, Pope Saint Gregory the Great explained that as often as anything very mighty is to be done, we see that Michael is sent, that by that very thing, and by his name (signifies “Who is like unto God”), we may remember that none is able to do as God doeth. Hence that old enemy whose pride hath puffed him up to be fain to be like unto God, even he who said, I will ascend unto heaven, I will exalt my throne…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, “A BUNDLE OF MYRRH IS MY BELOVED TO ME” “A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me; he shall abide between my breasts.” (Cant. 1, 12) These words are taken from the first chapter of the Canticle of Canticles, which is referred entirely to the Blessed Virgin Mary by many serious and learned authors. We can therefore say that it is the book of the Virginal Heart of Mary and of her ardent love. It is a book filled with inspired words, revealing that her incomparable Heart is ablaze with love of God and filled with…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, Saint John the Baptist lost his head over a dance (Feast day – August 29… The Beheading of St. John the Baptist). Can we lose our soul over a dance? Since immodesty usually accompanies the dance, both topics will be examined in this newsletter. First, let us study the morality of dances. I. MORALITY OF DANCES What is the attitude Catholics should have regarding dances and balls? It is a frequently asked question, and it does not always receive a clear, prudent response. However, Catholic doctrine on this topic is perfectly defined. It is exposed with great…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, THIRD FOUNDATION OF THE DEVOTION: THE HEART OF GOD THE HOLY GHOST “ALL THE GLORY OF THE KING’S DAUGHTER IS WITHIN” Infinite goodness compels God the Holy Ghost to disclose to us the inestimable treasures hidden in the marvellous Heart of Mary and to proclaim them through Sacred Scripture, the inspired word of God. The first significant text is taken from the forty-fourth psalm: “All the glory of the king’s daughter is within”, (Ps. 44, 14) where the Holy Ghost reveals that the Immaculate Heart of Mary is a source of benefactions without number and of every kind. To explain this…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, There is only one Saint in the Liturgical Calendar given the title “Penitent” – Saint Mary Magdalen. Her conversion story, along with an overview of the ‘planned-demic’ will be narrated in this mid-summer newsletter. I. SAINT MARY MAGDALENThe Church celebrates the Feast of Saint Mary Magdalen on July 22nd. In this attempt to give a picture of Mary Magdalen given by Msgr. John McMahon, it is understood that she is one person, not two or three, as has been suggested by modern Scripture scholars. Sacred Tradition through the years has identified three women as one, in…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY: COMPENDIUM OF THE LIFE OF GOD Life and vision, in a Christian soul, constitute the same principle. According to God’s Word, Christian life and vision are one and the same thing, since faith, which is the light and vision of the just man, is also his life, as it is written: “The just man liveth by faith.” (Rom. 1, 17) Eternal life consists in knowing God, as His Son Jesus Christ teaches us when He addresses His Heavenly Father, saying: “Now this is eternal life: That they may know thee, the…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, Corpus Christi and the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus are two grand Feasts in this month of June. Since we are in a huge spiritual battle to try to keep and spread the True Catholic Faith – concerning the Feast of Corpus Christi, (1) we will examine how the new liturgy ideas were in effect long before Vatican II, e.g., that of “active participation”. Next, concerning the Feast of the Most Sacred Heart, we will examine (2) the Holy Shroud of Turin, and (3) how the LGBTQ agenda opposes the Sacred Heart. When one studies the…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, GLORY AND FELICITY OF GOD MIRRORED IN THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARYThe glory of God is a perfection consisting in His most clear knowledge of His divine perfections, the sum of which, being perfectly understood by His divine intelligence, constitutes the essential glory of His adorable Majesty. Felicity is another divine perfection, consisting partly in God’s knowledge, partly in His love of Himself. The union of these two spiritual activities constitutes the incomprehensible and ineffable bliss of His Divine Majesty. The divine Eternity of God maintains Him at every moment in full possession of all the grandeurs,…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, The True Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Roman Catholic Church, founded on Pentecost Sunday, will have throughout the ages, unfortunately, both “heroes” and “villains” among her clergy. To help us understand the tremendous battle we are facing in these current times of the Great Apostacy, let us look at an example of both in this newsletter, namely: (1) Saint Anthony Mary Claret and (2) the famous modernist ‘Father’ Teilhard de Chardin. Saint Anthony Mary Claret was one of the greatest saints the world has ever seen. He was, as Kevin Roman describes, an…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, PEACE OF GOD MIRRORED IN THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARYThe Peace of God is another divine perfection completely realizing its faithful image in the Immaculate Heart of the most holy Mother of God. But before studying the reflection, let us gaze at the original and consider this adorable perfection of the peace of God Himself.What is the peace of God?It is a divine perfection consisting, according to St. Dionysius, in the ineffable union of God with Himself. (De divin. Norminibus. Cap. 11,1.) God is unutterably united with Himself,first of all, by His incomprehensible love for His…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, Even though the devil was defeated by Our Lord Jesus Christ in His work of the Redemption together with His Blessed Mother, the Virgin Mary, – God still allows, for various reasons, the Evil One to be active in the world. Satan is a real person, a fallen angel, – NOT a symbol of evil as many of the clergy of the Vatican II church teach. The following are a couple examples of his evil deeds. At the time this newsletter was written, Easter Tuesday and also the Feast of Pope Saint Leo the Great,…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, DIVINE SOVEREIGNTY MIRRORED IN THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARYAmong the several names given to God in Sacred Scripture, none occurs more frequently than that of Lord. It is the name His Divine Majesty constantly assumes when speaking to men. “I am the Lord.” (Exod. 29, 46; lev. 19, 32.) He wishes to impress upon our minds and in our hearts a most high esteem, a profound respect and a complete submission towards the supreme authority of His adorable Sovereignty. What then is this divine Sovereignty? It is a perfection that gives God absolute and infinite power over all…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, “Sitio.” (I thirst!) [Saint John 19:28]Our Lord’s Fifth Word on the Cross expressed His incomprehensible love (“thirst”) for saving souls. One cannot say he loves God and then be indifferent about the heresies and evil fruits of Vatican II causing today’s worldwide apostacy. Such people should consider the following words of Father Frederick William Faber (back in 1857) in his reflection on the Sixth Dolor of Our Lady, the Pieta: OUR LORD’S PASSION AND THE SIXTH DOLOR OF MARY The love of God brings many new instincts into the heart. Heavenly and noble as they are,…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, ZEAL OF GOD MIRRORED IN THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARYEverything in nature, grace and glory, all the effects of power, wisdom, goodness, mercy and justice of God, all the mysteries, actions and sufferings of the Son of God, all the sacrifices, sacraments and functions of the Catholic Church, in a word, all things in heaven, on earth and even in hell, are like so many voices proclaiming God’s ardent zeal for His own glory and for the salvation of souls. In the first place, God does everything for Himself and for the glory of His divine Majesty:…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, In the month of February, we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. This approved Marian Apparition, along with Our Lady of La Salette, Our Lady of Knock, and Our Lady of Fatima give us important insight into the current apostacy we are experiencing. In fact, the times are so evil (this newsletter was submitted on February 14, 2023) that many believe that we are close to the Great Warning from Heaven (where everyone in the world at the same time will know the state of his soul as God sees it).This work will particularly study…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, Further Divine Perfections Mirrored in the Immaculate Heart of Mary: JUSTICE OF GOD MIRRORED IN THE ADMIRABLE HEART OF MARYMercy and justice resemble two sisters, inseparable and holding each other by the hand. Wherever mercy is, there also is justice; where justice goes, mercy follows. Hence King David sang to God: “Mercy and judgment I will sing to thee, O Lord.” ( Ps. 100, 1) He mentions them together and does not separate these qualities. We have studied how divine mercy reigns and triumphs in the Immaculate Heart of Mary; we shall now contemplate divine justice establishing…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, As the month of January is specially dedicated to the Holy Family of Nazareth – Saint Joseph, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the Child Jesus – it is fitting that we recognize the accelerating dangerous attacks on the Catholic family by the devil through the science community, particularly transhumanism, 3D artificial reality “Metaverse”, and DMT.Connecting the human brain to computers is a goal of the New World Order and the minions of the Synagogue of Satan. Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum are overjoyed with the recent news that transhumanist Elon Musk will begin testing…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, Further Divine Perfections Mirrored in the Immaculate Heart of Mary: 2 MEEKNESS, PATIENCE AND CLEMENCY OF GOD MIRRORED IN THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARYGod’s meekness, patience and clemency are three divine perfections which are joined with mercy to form one and the same perfection, although their effects are different. The first and greatest of miseries, the source of all wretchedness is sin. When man is so unhappy as to offend God mortally, he at once becomes the object of God’s wrath which would crush him the very instant he consents to sin, as he infinitely deserves to be.…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, Our Saviour Jesus Christ was born in the stable at Bethlehem. In one of his meditations concerning the circumstances of Christ’s Nativity, Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori says that His poor Mother has neither wool nor down to make a bed for the tender Infant. What does she do, then? She gathers together a small handful of straw into the manger, and puts it there for Him to lie on: And she laid Him in the manger? But, how hard and painful is this bed for an infant just born; the limbs of a babe are so…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, Further Divine Perfections Mirrored in the Immaculate Heart of Mary: 1 MERCY OF GOD MIRRORED IN THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARYDivine Mercy is a perfection directed towards the miseries of creatures, tending to alleviate them and even to free them from created things when such a liberation enters into the designs of Divine Providence, which does all things with measure, number and weight. (Wis. 11, 21) This adorable mercy extends, like goodness itself, to all God’s works: “His tender mercies are over all His works.” (Ps. 144, 9) God’s mercy overshadows the works of nature, the works of grace…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, Dear Friends and Benefactors, Saint Bernard de Clairvaux so completely identifies the Mother and the Son in the plan of God that he does not hesitate to assert that all creation is meant for her. “To conclude summarily,” he says, “of her, through her and for her has the whole Scripture been written; and for her has the whole world been created.” Knowing the greatness of Our Lady (first part of this newsletter), as well as, some advice on how to avoid distractions during prayer (second part of this newsletter) will help us…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, We continue to see the series of the divine perfections of God the Son mirrored in the Immaculate Heart of Mary: Goodness and Providence of God mirrored in the Immaculate Heart of Mary Sacred theology distinguishes in God three kinds of goodness, which are fundamentally one and the same: natural goodness, moral goodness and goodness of benignity. In the order of nature God communicates His being to all existing things, His life to all living things. In the order of grace Almighty God communicates Himself to rational and intellectual creatures, through the adorable mystery of the…
Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary as predicted by Our Lady of Fatima, and others, involves a Great Monarch.From the time of St. Paul and the early Church Fathers to the present day, there have been prophecies of a Great Catholic King of the Roman Empire who will arrive near the End of Time and restore Catholic order in a world fallen into apostasy, paganism, corruption and moral decay. The influence of this warrior-King will spread worldwide. He will drive out infidels and restore the Catholic Holy Roman Empire.With him will rule an ‘Angelic’…

Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, “One day Our Lady of La Salette will lead the world.” (Saint Jean-Baptiste-Marie Vianney) Some Catholics think that Our Lady of La Salette was just a reminder not to desecrate Sunday. While it is true that we certainly need a reminder to keep Sundays holy during these wicked times as the Secret Forces (Freemasons, Jews) controlling modern society deliberately schedule events (Professional sports, social entertainment activities) to desecrate the Lord’s Day, combined with man’s sinful weakness and lack of the true Faith, have turned the Sunday into a ”shopping day”, “game day”, “laundry day”, “country fair day”, “open-house…

Other attributes expressing a relation between creatures and God, such as Creator, Redeemer and Rewarder, are not…
Read More On August 20, 1914, Pope Saint Pius X, Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, breathed his last, less than three weeks after the outbreak of what became known as World War I. It broke the Pope’s heart to see the nations of formerly Catholic Europe going to war with each other for no good reason other than state militarism and nationalism. His original tombstone bore the inscription: “Pope Pius X, poor and yet rich, gentle and humble of heart, unconquerable champion of the Catholic Faith, whose constant endeavor it was to renew all things in Christ”. HIS PAPAL ELECTION Pope Leo XIII died…

Margaret C. Galitzin gives the following incredible history of this holy woman.The Spanish soldiers and missionaries had been exploring our vast Southwest for almost one century when the Pilgrims, members of a radical Protestant sect, established their first stable colony at Plymouth Rock in 1620. Unlike those Puritans, who aimed only to find a safe place for their sect to prosper, the Spaniards had a dual mission.…

Saint Mark is represented by the Lion as his Gospel begins in the wilderness of the desert. Saint Luke is signified by the Ox as his Gospel starts in the Temple, place of Sacrifice.

Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, SHOULD CATHOLICS HAVE THE TV SET IN THEIR HOMES? Pope Pius XII wrote his Encyclical on television over sixty years ago, and since that time, not much has been said about television by the Catholic Church. It is certain that television has a profound influence on everyone. Such an influence must be judged in the timeless light of the eternal truths of the Catholic Faith. What do the Fathers of the Church say about television? The first reaction is that they say nothing, because TV was not invented yet. Actually, they have quite a lot to say about…

Read More Dear Friends and Benefactors, The holy season of Advent begins the Liturgical Year. During this sacred time, Holy Mother Church greatly helps us prepare for the coming of Christ as Saviour and as Judge. On the other hand, those tainted by the spirit of the world are preparing for or already celebrating their own false idea of ‘Christmas’, that is, without Christ and without the Mass. For some, this will be their last Advent and will have to meet Our Lord at the Particular Judgment some time over the next 12 months. The Church in her wisdom puts the Last Judgment…
