I Witnessed A MIRACLE On The Feast Of The Epiphany Last Night At Mass!

You can believe me, or not, but it's true!  I witnessed a MIRACLE last night at Mass!

While the world seems to be going up in flames, both figuratively and literally, my wife and I found succor and peace at a sublime high Mass, celebrated by a "new" priest -- a servant of Christ -- from Spain.  He will be headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri...

It was obvious to all who attended, that this man -- a real man's man! -- was a dedicated and holy individual fulfilling his calling to serve others at the altar, offering sacrifice to his God and Master, on behalf of the faithful filling the pews on that Monday night.

No, it wasn't a "holy day of obligation," but nevertheless, those attending were at least as many as are there for Sunday Mass!  Apparently, folks took time out from their busy schedules and work, to come and witness and celebrate with Father...

(And yes, we Catholics do call our priests "Father" -- it is biblical; look it up!  (Father Abraham, comes to mind, as one major example..  How do you refer to your dad???   That's my father, correct??)

The sung Mass was the most beautiful thing this side of Heaven, and all present could see and sense it.  It should be noted that there were numerous large families present for the celebration of the holy sacrifice of the Mass; from babies, and toddlers, to growing little boys and girls clinging to their moms or dads...

And now the MIRACLE!

The priest called down from Heaven the Creator of the universe to be present on the altar of sacrifice, so He could be received by His Church Militant, here on earth.   The need to be strengthened for the trials and tribulations that are directed our way to test our resolve to remain loyal to the end, and win the crown of victory -- of eternal life! (St. Paul), has never been greater...

The little Babe Who's birth was just celebrated on December 25th, has rapidly grown into the Lord of all nations...  He humbled Himself to take on our human form and nature, in addition to His divine nature, and gives Himself back to His Father thousands of times a day, all over the world in reparation for the sins that we weakened human creatures commit over and over again...

The Apostle asked: How many times must we forgive sins, Lord?  Seven times seven??

He answered: seventy times seven!

In other words, as many times as someone sincerely confesses their sins, right up to their last breath...

So, the power given to the priest when he receives Holy Orders, to transubstantiate the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ at the altar, and offer the Holy Eucharist to us (sinners!), also includes the power to forgive sins, given to the Apostles and their successors down through the millennium to the present day...

THAT is the MIRACLE that I -- and all of us present at Mass last night -- witnessed right before our eyes!

After the Mass, our newly-ordained priest gave his special blessing to each and everyone present... Plus, we kissed the palm of his hands, in recognition of the anointing with the holy oil applied during his ordination to the priesthood by his bishop...

We must all pray for good and holy priests these days more than ever, in light of the treasonous actions of those who give in to the temptations of the world, the flesh and the devil...

Pray too, for our country..

Viva Cristo Rey!  Fr. Miguel Pro, pray for us!!

Traitors To The Republic...

During the 1942 battle for Stalingrad, one of the (political) commissars that had a hand in that battle, was a character by the name of Nikita Khrushchev.  Born in 1894, he was sent, by Stalin, to the front to help with the fight against the German army.  After the war, Khrushchev rose through the political ranks to become one of the main movers and shakers of the Soviet Union.

Representing the Soviet Union at the Security Council of the United Nations in 1960, there was a famous moment when he was seen banging his shoe on the table before him, saying: "we will bury you"!  Meaning that the Soviet Union will destroy the United States.

His threat was never fulfilled by the Russians, but his "prophecy" may be slowly coming to fruition...

What am I talking about, and who or what entity might carry out this diabolical agenda?

By now, we have all heard of a "shadow government" here in the U.S.  Some call it the "deep state."  Whatever you call it, these traitors -- and that is what they are -- are working hard to destroy, not only President Trump, but in the long run, our nation.

Who are they?  If you look closely, you'll see that many are holdovers from the Obama administration, but know that these stooges go back even further, from both Bush presidencies, and, perhaps, as far back as the Reagan administration...

Presently, these folks do their dirty work undercutting Mr. Trump at every turn.

Once these moles burrow their way into the deep recesses of the government bureaucracy, -- and that includes the "intelligence" agencies -- it is almost impossible to dig them out and expose them to the daylight for all to see...

One of the principal actors -- traitors -- in this attempt to overthrow our Republic includes the now-deceased Senator McCain.  And, if anyone wants to know more about the traitor, McCain, I'll be happy to point you in a direction that will send chills up your spine, and, I hope, make you quite angry.  So, I have no qualms about "picking" on a dead man... There are others, namely, the former Sec. of State, John Kerry, as well as H. Clinton, J. Biden, and, perhaps, Obama himself.  And present office holders, such as N. Pelosi, Sen. Schumer, and various other scum... These stinkers have travelled the world over and met with officials of other governments to try to counter the successes and initiatives of President Trump.  This, by the way, is one possible violation of the Logan Act, and the Hatch Act...

But the question begs: if these miscreants are, in fact, traitors, then why are they still walking freely in society, causing even more havoc with each passing day?  I have a possible answer: Lady Justice has turned not one, but two blind eyes to the job "she" is supposed to be doing.  In other words, there is a two-tier system of justice: one for the average Joe, and one for the elites...

But there is more sinister support for these bastards: the mainstream media and their lackeys are more than complicit in the crimes of these American Republic haters.  Like it or not, this is a powerful alliance of evil + more evil, making the role of true patriots more difficult.  But there is hope!  Over the last three years or so, ever since the hard Left has attempted to take down President Trump, Americans across the country are waking up to the real threat to their freedoms, and are fed up with the status quo -- in this case, a status quo right out of the play book of the Communist Manifesto...

Remember the adage: when there is a void of good, evil will certainly fill that void with great glee, and much success...

The answer is, and always has been: CHRIST!  And if not Christ, then chaos!

Pray for our fragile Republic, and pray earnestly for President Trump..

Viva Cristo Rey!  Fr. Miguel Pro, pray for us!

What Was The Leading Cause Of Death Worldwide In 2019?

The following information was gleaned from an article in Lifenews.com...

The answer to the question: Abortion was the leading cause of death worldwide...

 Over 42 million babies were slaughtered in 2019.  Let me write out that number: 42,000,000 (MILLION).

Interestingly, the total number of deaths worldwide amounted to 58.6 million.  However, that number DOES NOT INCLUDE THOSE KILLED BY ABORTION!  And the reason?  That babies developing in the womb "are not recognized as human beings, even though biology indicates that they are unique, living human beings from the moment of conception..."

I would ask all those folks reading this, to think about the genocide that occurs in this country, and in the world on a daily basis.  Where is the outcry from such organizations as the United Nations?  Why aren't there cries for justice for the denial of human rights of those poor babies killed in their "mother's" womb?   Why is this murder of the pre-born not stopped?

Why, why, why?????

How much longer will the Author of life, allow Mankind to snuff out His gift of life in the most heinous of ways, before He -- justifiably -- unleashes His wrath and destroys those who continue to mock and misuse the creative powers He has given men and women to procreate; to multiply and subdue the earth?  

Even in our country, and even with President Trump at the helm of the Ship of State, abortions continue unabated...

Pray for an end to this scourge of the killing of the pre-born, and pray for our country..

Viva Cristo Rey!  Fr. Miguel Pro, pray for us....

A New, Full-Blown War With Iran?

Our military just took out a top-ranked Iranian general responsible for numerous attacks on our men in Iraq, so we are told.  And Iran has pledged retaliation.

So what's new?

Taking out this killer-general was done to protect American interests (and our men) in the region.  Okay, I can agree with that, but if we are to "protect American interests," then how about securing our southern AND northern borders?

After all, not only are illegal aliens entering the country at break-neck speed, our porous borders are also allowing a scourge of deadly drugs to infiltrate our land and poison and kill our kids, and young adults.

Where is the determination to stop this mass invasion and slaughter of our citizens?   Where is the outcry to "protect American interests"?

All the neo-cons want to do is to get us enmeshed in another costly war, costing the lives of our military, and putting more strain on our already empty treasury...  But not to worry, the printing presses run day and night, issuing more fiat currency worth little or nothing.  Remember, what you have in your wallet, is a "federal reserve note," not a silver certificate as in days gone by.

One of the things about wars, if you haven't noticed, is that the neo-cons -- or anyone that thirsts for war and regime change -- never go to war themselves, they send "us" to fight their battles and their demonic agenda of world domination.

Sounds a little like the Communist war-lords of the old Soviet Union and Mao's "Cultural Revolution" of the 1960's, doesn't it?

But isn't that what it is in the end: world domination?

I ask this, because it seems to me that our Republic -- or what is left of it -- is on the verge of almost total collapse.  There are many reasons for this, but suffice to say, that without Christ, there is nothing left but chaos.  And make no mistake, God will allow the operation of error to enter the intellects of those that no longer hear His Word.  Such folk will not be able to make decisions based on common sense (the Natural Law), but are influenced by dark forces that roam the world, seeking those whom he (Satan) can devour (St. Peter)...

Let us please pray for our nation, and pray earnestly for peace...

Those "Damned" Feeneyites...

Just the other day, I read a response to someone who asked: no salvation outside the Catholic Church?

That response didn't really address the idea of no salvation outside the Church, he just said those "Feeneyites" are basically nuts!

On the surface, I would have to agree!  After all, who in the world thinks that if someone is not in the Catholic Church, they're not going to Heaven?  Maybe those Feeneyites are nuts!

Come on now... what about that stupid, oh, I mean that "ignorant" native on the remote desert island? If he never heard of the Catholic Church, or that he has to become a Catholic, then why should he worry about not getting to Heaven?  All he has to do is to follow the Natural Law, and live up to what his conscience tells him to do, then he too, will make it to that heavenly beatitude, right?

I guess the Feeneyites take what the Church has defined dogmatically, and misinterpret it to their own destruction (a paraphrase of St. Peter referring to the unlearned wresting the Scriptures to their own destruction).

So, if the Church defined something that is binding on the conscience of all Catholics to believe, under penalty of anathema, then ALL Catholics MUST believe it!

That makes sense to me...

In fact, the Church defined that dogma, not once, not twice, but three times over the course of a couple of hundred years, by several popes and councils.  But if the Feeneyites got it wrong, then they got it wrong not once, not twice, but three times!

But how can this be???

First, when a dogma is defined, how is one to interpret it??

The answer is almost too simple, but I'll explain...

1) The words themselves used to define a dogma is the meaning.

2) If there was another interpretation of a dogma (the words); another way to figure it out, so to speak, then THAT would have to be explained and interpreted again to clarify the first time the words of the dogma were issued.  That could get very confusing, because the "dogma" would then be open to other interpretations, and so on, and so on, ad infinitum...

3) So, to recap, the words are the formula, and the formula has to be clear without confusion.  It can be understood better, perhaps, but not re-interpreted to glean another meaning, if that were the case, then it wouldn't be a DOGMA, period.

In any event, I find it hard to see how those Feeneyites got it wrong three times.  Maybe it's me, I don't know...

But I look at it this way... If one DOESN'T have to be a Catholic in order to be saved, then Our Lord died an excruciating, unnecessary death on the Cross for no reason.  That means that a druid, a witch, Buddha, tree-worshippers, pagans and the like can get to Heaven too, so long as they listen to their conscience and live up to the Natural Law (same as that ignorant native!).   That implies, too, that they don't have to be Baptized either.  However, unless a man is born again of WATER and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven (St. John, Chapter 3;5).

That makes perfect sense, because without Baptism, then Original Sin is still on the soul, and by its nature, Original Sin is mortal, in other words, the soul is not in a state of grace; it is not in a state of JUSTIFICATION.

One last thought on Baptism... When referring to Baptism, the Council of Trent used the word for VOW, not desire, that may get a soul into a state of JUSTIFICATION, but certainly not salvation.  As an example, I can "desire" a brand new F-150 truck -- so what?  But if I make a VOW to buy that truck, then I'll do my best to save my money to buy that truck.

And, they don't have to eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood in order to have life in them -- really? (St. John, Chapter Six -- read it all, it's very revealing regarding the Bread of Heaven; the Eucharist).

I think that one reason some Catholics seem to think that those two great Sacraments are not necessary for Justification -- and Salvation, is because of that train-wreck of the Second Vatican Council and its aftermath: rampant Modernism, poor catechesis, along with the near-destruction of the sacred Liturgy: the bedrock of the Mass!   The law of praying is the law of believing, and uncountable saints were made through that Traditional Liturgy.  Plus, the sublime Mass of all time, especially the Eucharist, gave courage, and strengthened the martyrs to face their persecution to the death.

It was Pope St. Pius X, that said that Modernism is the synthesis of all heresies, and condemned such.  If that is the case, and it seems to be very apparent these days that it is, especially what comes out of the Vatican almost on a daily basis, as the Modernists are in complete control, and have been for far too many years, going way back BEFORE Vat. II.

In light of these data, I guess that maybe the Feeneyites were right all along??

If the core dogma of the Church is undermined, then all hell could break loose; and it has!

By the way, I am a "Feeneyite"...

A New Life Has Entered The World...

At 8:15am, Thursday, January 2, 2020, we received word that Kathy and I are grandparents -- again!  This time, it is our son, James, that became a Dad!  His wife, Rebecca, gave birth to a healthy boy, already named Max (for St. Maximilian Kolbe).

It should be noted that St. Maximilian is a contemporary, and died in the concentration camps of World War II set up by the demon, Hitler, to exterminate millions of Jews, Catholics, Protestants, Gypsies and the like.  He used the media of the time to print and distribute Catholic literature to as many as he could reach.  And leading up to his martyrdom, gave hope and as much comfort as possible to those around him.  I have little doubt that there were some conversions of heart of some of those who put him to death, seeing his steadfastness of faith and courage

One of the things that is so special for a new-born to come into a Catholic family, is that he will be infused with the true faith at his Baptism -- unless a man is born again of WATER and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven (St. John, 3;5).  

We already know that Max's mother and father will teach him, by example, and authentic Church teaching, what it means to be a Catholic in this topsy-turvy world that we live in.  He will be taught that, although we live IN the world, we are not to be OF the world, as we should all strive to win the race and receive the crown of eternal life (St. Paul).

Max will also be taught, again by example, and actual reception -- when he is of age -- that the Holy Eucharist is the Bread of Heaven that leads to salvation and his heavenly home.  St. John relates to us in the Bible (Chapter six), that unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, there is NO life in you.  This is a great promise from the Lord Himself!

We give thanks to our Lord, His most Blessed Mother and all the angels and saints, for the safe delivery of Maximilian, and for the health of his mother, and, I'm sure, the wreck that his father is, at least right now!!  I'm sure he'll recover very soon, and then realize the reality of what being a new dad means and the responsibility that goes with protecting, defending, and providing for his growing family..

God bless you, James and Rebecca, and congratulations from Mom and Dad...

St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for us...

The Pharisee And The Publican In The Temple...

He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others. "Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.' But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn't even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."

—St. Luke 18:9-14,

What, or who, does this sound like?

You or I, maybe?

Or, is it "the other guy"?  

Are we "judging" others, but not ourselves?

The Publican (tax collector) couldn't even bring himself to lift his eyes in the presence of the Holy of Holies, but begged for forgiveness for his sins.  

The Pharisee praised himself and despised the Publican. Whatever good works that the Pharisee might do, or might have done, mean nothing without charity (St. Paul).  

The humility of the hated Publican is an example of the first step to holiness, for without humility, pride will surely get in the way of our journey to the New Jerusalem, and eternal life...

God knows...

We just celebrated the birth of the Savior, and now, as the New Year approaches, we are filled with ideas of making "resolutions" to make things better in our lives, whether to lose weight, or more seriously, to sin less and love more: our families and our neighbors, that is...

Not an easy task these days, as we are bombarded with negative news almost on a daily basis, but it is important to keep in mind that we are not in control of world events: it is Providence that directs the fate of mankind.  It's just that we have to respond in the proper manner if we are to have any chance to improve spiritually and morally, and finish the race and gain the crown of victory (again, St. Paul).

So, let's see if we can make this resolution: to know, love, and serve God in this life, and be happy with Him in the next.  Love our families and our neighbors, by doing so, we fulfill the two great Commandments upon which is based all the law and the prophets...

Pray for our country...
