A funny thing happened while writing today’s Sacred Heart Friday post. I was writing this (brilliant) piece in my series of posts on the Alliance of the Two Hearts of Jesus and Mary and linking it to today’s feast day on the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Unfortunately, after reading it and thankfully before …

Continuing along with yesterday’s post; on this Immaculate Heart Saturday, think about the ways in which you can use your creative aspirations to lead people through Mary and onward to Jesus. Mary participated in the creation of Jesus in His sacred Humanity when she said ‘Yes,’ to the Angel Gabriel and the Holy Spirit overshadowed …
The month of August is dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Mary, who was referred to having ‘pondered these things in her heart’ a few times in Scripture, serves as a symbol or model of the contemplative life. Her heart is the source of her love for us and her Son, Jesus Christ, as …
And so ends July, the Month dedicated to the Precious Blood of Jesus. Next up: August which is dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I am thinking of starting a new series; related to the Sacred Heart Friday posts I began in January, these will be “Immaculate Heart Saturday.” Each Saturday for as long …

May is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary; June to the Sacred Heart. The Church teaches that all authentic Marian devotion leads us to Jesus. …
Today begins May, which is traditionally dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. In honor of that, I am instituting #SocialMediaMayforMary, wherein every day I post to this blog’s Facebook Page, LinkedIn Page, MeWe SoberCatholic Discussion Group, Telegram Channel, Mastodon and Twitter accounts videos on the Blessed Mother and her Rosary. These will not be posted …
You can tell I’ve been reading St. Louis de Montfort. I discovered that the Confraternity of the Most Holy Rosary still exists, and still is managed by the Dominicans just like back in the days of St. Dominic and Bl. Alan de la Roche! (Should I have known that?) This association was mentioned quite often …

Many saints have said that those who are consecrated to the Blessed Virgin Mary are never lost. Sts. Louis deMontfort, Alphonsus de Liguori, and Maximilian Kolbe have all declared at one time or another that those souls who become ‘the property’ of Our Lady will never suffer eternal damnation. This may seem to some as …

On this Sacred Heart Friday, I am relating to you something about the creation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This is appropriate given that as this is posted, it is the Vigil of the Solemnity of the Annunciation.This comes from a private revelation, and thus is not binding on Catholics. However, my personal opinion regarding …
