Unmaking the Kingdom: The War Against Divine Order

“In the beginning God created heaven, and earth” (Genesis 1:1). 
From the first instant of creation, God spoke into the void and order was born. Light separated from the darkness.

Light In The Darkness: Voices For Our Time

For centuries, the saints have spoken of an hour of great trial, a moment when truth itself would be shadowed by deception, and when the Church – the Bride of Christ – would be purified in fire. It seems that we are living in such a time. 

The Mirage of Mercy

Let us not be fooled by mirages. Let us drink again from the living water that flows from the Heart of Christ. Let us adore before we act, repent before we reform, pray before we protest. Then our mercy will be real, our justice radiant, and our charity divine. 

Upon this Rock

The Pope is not merely the president of a religious organization, nor a spokesman for a majority opinion. He is the Vicar of Christ, the visible principle of unity for the entire Church on earth.

Angels of God: Messengers, Guardians, Warriors  

Angels are not myths, nor symbols, nor pleasant images for stained-glass windows. They are real. They are mighty. They are God’s messengers, guardians, and warriors.

The Holy Name of Mary: Fortress of the Faithful

Today, September the 12th, Holy Mother Church sets before our eyes a treasure of immense power and sweetness – the Feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary. The watchman cries out from the tower, and he calls us to remember that God Himself has glorified this name, and that the devils tremble at it.  

When Shepherds Sleep, the Wolves Feast

Today, we must speak with urgency: what is unfolding in the life of the Church isn’t abstract – it’s real, immediate, and demands our vigilance.

The Voice That Could Not Be Silenced

Today Holy Mother Church commemorates one of the most sobering feasts of the liturgical year: the beheading of St. John the Baptist. Yet though John’s head was severed from his body, his voice was not silenced.

The Heart and the Crown 

On the traditional Roman calendar, this day, August 22nd, is the Feast of The Immaculate Heart of Mary, set near the glory of the Assumption so that the Heart that loved God most on earth is honored in heaven.

I Have Set Thee a Watchman

“Son of man, I have made thee a watchman to the house of Israel: and thou shalt hear the word out of my mouth, and shalt tell it them from me” (Ezekiel 3:17)
