Audio (MP3)Video – More on Marian Consecration – Dr. Miravalle: MCast 70
Wednesday, August 26th, 2009
Marycast #70 ( What is Marian consecration? Dr. Miravalle says, “It is a gift of self and a promise of love whereby we give ourselves entirely to Mary so that She can use Her intercessory power to help us to live our full baptismal promises to Jesus Christ.” In other words, it is the giving of oneself to Our Lady so that She can give us entirely to Her Son.

St. Louis IX : King and Saint
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009One Minute Meditation
 St. Louis, King of France (1214-1270)
Patron of the Franciscan Third Order
The Saint wrote to his son:
My dearest son, my first instruction is that you should love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your strength. Without this there is no salvation. Keep yourself, my son, from everything that you know displeases God, that is to say, from every mortal sin. You should permit yourself to be tormented by every kind of martyrdom before you would allow yourself to commit a mortal sin. If the Lord has permitted you to have some trial, bear it willingly and with gratitude, considering that it has happened for your good and that perhaps you well deserved it. If the Lord bestows upon you any kind of prosperity, thank him humbly and see that you become no worse for it, either though vain pride or anything else, because you ought not to oppose God or offend him in the matter of his gifts. Be kindhearted to the poor, the unfortunate and the afflicted. Give them as much help and consolation oas you can. Thank God for all the benefits he has bestowed upon you, that you may be worthy to receive greater. Always side with the poor rather than with the rich, until you are certain of the truth. Be devout and obedient to our mother the Church of Rome and the Supreme Pontiff as your spiritual father. In conclusion, dearest son, I give you every blessing that a loving father can give a sons. May the three Persons of the Holy Trinity and all the saints protect you from every evil. And may the Lord give you the grace to do his will so that he may be served and honored through you, that in the next life we may together come to see him, love him and praise him unceasingly. Amen. |
Aug 25 – St. Pio Daily – High Night
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
Ave Maria!– August’s Theme: Spiritual Aridity “There are certain moments in which there gathers over the heaven of my soul clouds so obscure and so dark, that it does not allow me even to see a faint ray of light. It is high night for my poor soul. All of hell has poured out upon it [my soul] with all of its cavernous roaring, as well as my whole past life; and what is more frightening is that my own soul, with its fantasy and its imagination, seems to conspire against itself.” |

Video – No Apologies – #101 Indulgences 2
Tuesday, August 25th, 2009
Ave Maria! Today we make the point that the misuse of something doesn’t render it unholy or wrong in itself. The church has a clean slate in correcting abuses concerning indulgences – this is true at the time of the reformation and before. Ave Maria! |
Aug 23, 24 – St. Pio Daily – Continued Resignation
Monday, August 24th, 2009
Ave Maria!– August’s Theme: Spiritual Aridity 23- “Sickness, lumps in the throat, caresses, holy flames, temptations, aridity and desolation are traits of the ineffable charity of God. And when the evil one wants to persuade you that you are victim of his assaults or of divine abandonment, do not believe him because he is suggesting that which is false to you, he wants to deceive you.” 24- “Knowing that you know yourself to be always resigned to the will of heaven fills my soul with a superlative joy. Well then, continue to trust and hope in the Lord even more, and He will know how, even in the midst of the extreme spiritual desolations, to console and sooth your pain, because certain crosses would seem intolerable.” |

Pope St. Pius X addressed the heresies of Modernism
Thursday, August 20th, 2009Ave Maria Meditations
Pope St. Pius X Feast day is August 21st Pope St. Pius X was born as Giuseppe Sarto to a poor family in 1835. He was ordained to the holy priesthood in 1858 was elected Pope in 1903. One biography says this on his pontificate: He lowered the age of First Communion to the age of 7 and encouraged frequent, even daily Communion. He reformed the liturgy, promoted clear and simple homilies, and brought Gregorian chant back to services. He revised the Breviary, and the teaching of the Catechism. He fought Modernism, which he denounced as “the summation of all heresies”. He reorganized the Roman curia and initiated the codification of canon law. He promoted the reading of Sacred Scripture and the foreign missions. His will read: “I was born poor; I lived poor; I wish to die poor.” He died in August of 1914. He is known as the Pope of the Blessed Sacrament and also as the Pope who suppressed modernism and that suppression lasted for decades until it roared again to life in the turbulent times following the second Vatican Council. His great encyclical addressing and condemning modernism can be found at http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Pius10/p10pasce.htm +++ excerpts from PASCENDI DOMINICI GREGIS ON THE DOCTRINE OF THE MODERNISTS ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS X, SEPTEMBER 8, 1907 VENERABLE BRETHREN, HEALTH AND THE APOSTOLIC BLESSING: 1. One of the primary obligations assigned by Christ to the office divinely committed to Us of feeding the Lord’s flock is that of guarding with the greatest vigilance the deposit of the faith delivered to the saints, rejecting the profane novelties of words and the gainsaying of knowledge falsely so called. There has never been a time when this watchfulness of the supreme pastor was not necessary to the Catholic body, for owing to the efforts of the enemy of the human race, there have never been lacking men speaking perverse things, vain talkers and seducers,erring and driving into error. It must, however, be confessed that these latter days have witnessed a notable increase in the number of the enemies of the Cross of Christ, who, by arts entirely new and full of deceit, are striving to destroy the vital energy of the Church, and, as far as in them lies, utterly to subvert the very Kingdom of Christ. Wherefore We may no longer keep silence, lest We should seem to fail in Our most sacred duty, and lest the kindness that, in the hope of wiser counsels, We have hitherto shown them, should be set down to lack of diligence in the discharge of Our office. |
