Ave Maria! God’s Revelation is clear that there is a hell. In denying this Jehovah’s deny Scripture and the Church Fathers. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria!– February’s Theme: The Will of God “Certain sorrows are not consoled naturally […]. Therefore, it is necessary to raise oneself higher, to arrive at the beginning and the first cause of our suffering. Now, the cause and beginning of our sufferings is Jesus Whom we have chosen for our portion; He is the health of souls, for whom we have explicitly immolated ourselves to the justice of God. […]. To us then, there remains nothing else than the eternal Will which thus disposes.” |

Ave Maria!– February’s Theme: The Will of God “Let us not lose heart in Divine providence which, alternating in the lives of individuals and of nations…leads to the achievement of our ultimate end. Let us see behind the hand of man, which manifests itself thus, the hand of God which hides itself.” |
Ave Maria! In this first episode of our new series by the FI’s in Australia Fr. Andre Feain gives a talk on the apparition of Our Lady at Lourdes to Bernadette Soubirous and how this related to the spiritual life in 1858 and now. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria Meditations
![]() Following Jesus
Our primary responsibility, the main object of all our efforts, must be the transformation of ourselves, of our hearts and our lives. Insofar as we succeed at this, we promote the spreading of God’s kingdom for by doing this, we are at the same time disposing ourselves to help others and contribute even further to the spreading of the kingdom. What this means in the concrete is that each of us must faithfully fulfill the duties of our daily life. The circumstances and people that God each day presents to us through his providence offer us the opportunity to perform action after action in proof of our dedication to the kingdom. Whether we are married and taking care of home and family, or studying in school, or working in an office or a factory or on a farm, whether we are dedicated to the priestly or religious life, matters little. In whatever we do, we must always seek first the kingdom of God. That is, all of our actions of every day must be accepted as from God and referred back to him, must be done in a way that fulfills his will, for in this way alone is the kingdom of God promoted and spread upon earth.
Fr. Walter J. Ciszek, S.J.

Ave Maria!– February’s Theme: The Will of God “We must have a heart that is virile; and as long as we will have our soul firm in the will of serving and loving God, we must not become troubled-neither of weaknesses nor of any other impediment.” |

Ave Maria!– February’s Theme: The Will of God “I desire that by now, our hearts do not live except under the obedience and commandments of the Heart of the Lord […] in this way we will always be sweet, humble, and charitable, because the Heart of our Divine Master has no law more amiable than that of sweetness, humility, and charity.” |
Many faithful Catholics, myself included worried that Nancy Pelosi would use her audience with the Holy Father as a self-affirming photo op. Human Life International among others, made sure that didn’t happen. We have many friends in Rome. (more…) |
Pelosi’s spokesman, Brendan Daly confirmed with me just minutes ago that she has no plans to change her position on abortion. |
