Mary, The Mother of God
Children from broken homes often resent those who have been blessed with a loving mother and father. Children raised by parents in broken or unhappy marriages may find themselves, sometimes unknowingly, disliking those who have been blessed with growing up in a loving home. Those who become envious of those who are loved may want […]
Mary’s warning is coming near.
One of the Great Mysteries of our time is The Blessed Mother’s appearance before 70,000 people at Fatima. Mary left clear warnings in her messages at Fatima. See if you notice the one word in this passage from The Blessed Mother that is both odd and prophetic. (Please! Don’t skip ahead! First, read and see […]
Mother’s Day is Mary’s Day.
Catholic Fundamentalism prompts many to share their opinions on religion. It is clear: Catholics revere The Mother of God. Catholics often ask The Blessed Mother to intercede for them. Most Catholics feel that they are “brothers” and “sisters” of Christ. So, they are comfortable thinking of Mary as their Mother, as well. Catholics also believe […]
A new theory of Judgment.
Many Protestants don’t approve of taking Mary, The Blessed Mother of Jesus, as seriously as Catholics do. If they think of The Blessed Mother at all, it is as holding a very secondary position. Many anti-Catholics want Mary brought down to our level. Some insist that she had more children. Scripture does allow that interpretation, […]
Better to pray than complain.
Our state has a liberal, Democratic Governor. He was elected on a platform of “education”, “fairness”, and “a new beginning”. Later, people learned that he was extremely pro-choice. Leftists coalesced around his campaign. Groups whose benefits and pensions are forcibly taken from their neighbors made huge campaign contributions. A few weeks ago, I realized: “There […]
The Church, Ephesus, and Fatima.
Today’s Reading from the Book of Revelation has what seems to be a clear message to The Church. Rv 1:1-4; 2:1-5 “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show his servants what must happen soon. . . . He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, I […]
Lepanto. One of the great Catholic poems.
Lepanto, by G. K. Chesterton, is one of Christendom’s truly great poems. It describes the Battle of Lepanto, 1571. In that great sea battle, an outnumbered Christian fleet defeated the greatest naval force on earth. The smart money was betting against the Christians. God,however, was on their side. So was Mary. Some say the battle […]
Fatima. Maybe this analogy will help:
The two recent articles on Fatima uncovered a firestorm of disagreement. Some said that The Church had properly obeyed Mary’s instructions to Consecrate Russia, by name, to Her Immaculate Heart. The same people tended to agree that The Third Secret had been released. The opinions are fiercely held. This Catholic writer has never been threatened […]
The real Mystery of Fatima.
The instructions provided by The Blessed Mother were clear. She instructed Sr. Lucia to say that the Pope should “Consecrate Russia to My Immaculate Heart” in a ceremony in which “all the bishops” should participate in their own Dioceses. The Blessed Mother’s instructions seem clear. Russia, by name, was to be Consecrated to Her Immaculate […]
There are two kinds of Catholics. Which are you?
It is true that Catholics have the best chance of Heaven. But, one kind of Catholic has an advantage: They have the Mother of God recommending them. When The Blessed Mother of our Savior appeared at Fatima, the sun plunged from the sky and 70,000 suddenly terrified people were paralyzed with fright. It happened again […]
