Ave Maria! Our “built in” sense of moral obligation and of justice are two roads that lead to the conclusion that man will continue to live even after his body has died. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! “A heart muddied with sin fears eternity, and for this reason it avoids thinking of it. Not to think of it, however, in no way eliminates the reality, so we must think of it. That being so, we do have a Mother in Heaven, the personification of the Divine Mercy, the Immaculate.” (SK #1103) |
Ave Maria! “This time, and this time alone is useful to me for acquiring merits, because from the moment in which I breath my last breath, I will never have at my disposition such an advantageous time as the present. From this world we will take nothing, absolutely nothing with us into the next. What stupidity, therefore, to chase after that which passes, seeking a momentaneous joy, which quickly vanishes, at the expense of eternity.” (SK #1103) |
From Ave Maria Meditations
Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne. |
Ave Maria! “I don’t believe that the goods of this world, even though very numerous, are really sufficient to give happiness to any single person under the sun; for what reason, in fact, is there all this hurry to always acquire more riches, glory and pleasure? With just a little calm reflection one can understand with clarity that God alone is our happiness.” (SK #1276) |
Ave Maria! St. Therese of the Child Jesus has said, “Love is repaid by love alone.” Elsewhere it is said in simpler form: “Love for love,” meaning God first offers us His love in the hope that we will respond by giving Him ours. This principle of action and reaction is the heart of Bl. John Duns Scotus’ teaching. God first acts by willing Christ, the God-man, and the God-man responds with His Heart aflame for the love and glory of the Father. We also see God’s principle of action and reaction in the predestination of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Listen now as Father explains this eye-opening principle of “Love for love,” “action and reaction,” and how it plays out in all of creation, and in our lives. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! Fr. Bonaventure preaches on the life and example of Bl. Miguel Pro who died as a martyr during the Mexican Persecution of the early 20th century. At this time Free Masonic forces took over and made the Mass illegal?in that most?Catholic country. Listen to Fr. Bonaventure as he links B. Miguel Pro’s life to that of Christ in today’s Gospel where His life was sought. Father then links this to our own time. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! “I just cannot believe that everything finishes with death, because why would God then have given us the desire for life without end? Perhaps to deceive us? Furthermore, what could be said of God’s justice in this case, if the good and the wicked all finished in the same way?” (SK #1276) |
Ave Maria!
In today’s Gospel Christ prophesies the destruction of Jerusalem which was fulfilled in 70 A.D.?Listen as Fr. Bonaventure links this to the first reading about Mattathias and his valiant resistance to a false ecumenism of the Greeks. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! “Only those who find themselves in the universal Catholic Church walk on the true path and, if they faithfully tend towards God, following the teaching of the Church, they will have the guarantee of attaining eternal happiness and even joy and peace in this world.” (SK #1246) |
Ave Maria! Part 1 of 2 Corinn Dahm is host for her guest Lisa Martin who courageously talks about the abortion she had after she was raped as a teenager. Lisa later became active in the pro-choice movement and Paganism, but eventually became attracted to the Catholic Faith, converted and became pro-life. Listen to this incredible story of the pain of abortion and how the grace of God can touch and heal one’s soul. Part 2 will focus more on the healing. Stay tuned. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! ??He’s seen often on EWTN, he’s the Spiritual Theology Professor at Franciscan University of Steubenville, he’s also the president of an international Catholic effort called Vox Populi Mariae Mediatrici (the Voice of the People for Mary Mediatrix) besides being one of the most respected Mariologists in the world, he’s an accomplished author, he’s a prolific writer of numerous articles, he’s a sought after lecturer, and he’s an ordained permanent Deacon in his diocese, and most importantly of all, he’s a devoted husband and a father of 8 beautiful children – please welcome Dr. Mark Miravalle.” Here Dr. Miravalle gives a long litany of all the saints, mystics, magisterial statements, and fathers and doctors of the Church, who refer to Mary as Coredemptrix. He puts this in a nutshell by asking, “Where’s the controversy? Where’s the confusion?” Come listen to Dr. Miravalle’s impassioned plea for the dogmatic proclamation of the Marian Titles, Coredemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate. Thank you, Dr. Mark! Ave Maria! |
From Ave Maria Meditations Ven. Mary of Agreda “The Mystical City of God’ (abridged) on HER PRESENTATION IN THE TEMPLE
The three years’ time decreed by the Lord having been completed, Joachim and Anne set out from Nazareth, accompanied by a few of their kindred and bringing with them the true living Ark of the covenant, the most holy Mary, borne on the arms of her mother in order to be deposited in the holy temple of Jerusalem.

Ave Maria! “You are dust of the earth! Notwithstanding all of your treasures, don’t you receive your existence from God at every moment? Isn’t He, who is just, capable of returning you back to dust? But behold, our Commandress, the Immaculate, asks for mercy on your behalf, a prolongation of your life, that you may still have the possibility to enter into yourself again and convert.” (SK #1133) +++ |
