“Dearly beloved, the enemies of the homeland and the enemies of the Church are furious today because they see a huge, enormous army of patriots, army of nationalists, and army of supporters who have ‘God, Honor, and Fatherland’ in their hearts and are ready to give their lives for them. But I am more than convinced that leftist propaganda is trying its best to destroy us, to destroy the Church, to destroy the Polish nation. We cannot let them do it. We are the Church Militant. We are the warriors of Great Poland. They aren’t even aware that the more they attack us, the more our pride grows!”
-Father Jacek Międlar of Rzeszów speaking at Poland’s Independence Day rally; December 10, 2015.

Today's Mystery:
The Crucifixion
Today's Daily Decade, for the Feast of St. Scholastica, offers prayers for the father of long-time listener and proprietor of the Alithea Xediplothike telegram channel, who recently suffered injury in a car accident. For his perfect healing we offer prayers of the sick.
Today's reflection is actually a discussion of Church teaching on what Christ is doing for us on the Cross, St. Anselm's articulation of the Satisfaction of the Cross, and the blessings we reap because Christ turned the curse of death upon itself, making it into a gateway to our full restoration. .
God love you!

Today's Mystery:
The Coronation of the Blessed Mother
Today's Daily Decade, for the Feast of St. John of Matha, offers prayers for the people of Brazil against the spread of godless political ideologies, especially Communism. We beg the intercession of St. James the Moor-slayer against the forces of godlessness assaulting the people of the Iberian patrimony.
Today's reflection is on the meaningless nature of worldly crowns and worldly powers, and the imperishable crown and real authority of Sainthood which we all should be seeking.
God love you!

Today's Mystery:
The Finding of the Child Jesus
Today's Daily Decade, for the Feast of St. Titus, offers prayers for Aurora, recently baptized niece of one of our long-time listeners. We beg the intercession of St. John the Baptist on behalf of this new handmaiden of God, her parents, her godparents, and her entire family that they might serve God well, bring forth fruit worthy of penance for themselves and those near to them, and raise her to be a Saint.
Today's reflection is on seeking Christ, and the way the Blessed Mother and St. Joseph seeking the lost child Jesus mirror the Hebrews awaiting and seeking after their Messias, not finding Him in the warrior kings and rebels whom they followed, and largely rejecting Him when He manifested as Jesus, the humble Galilean who preached Penance and Salvation to all nations.
God love you!

The long days of the Lenten season begin on February 22nd, 2023. I will be posting daily spiritual readings, meditations, and prayers in the hopes that when Lent arrives, it may be fruitful and bountiful for all of you.
We will be adhering to the Pre-Vatican II standards for Lent (and it's preparations). Even if you are not a Catholic, nevertheless, we encourage you to join us on our journey in repentance, fasting, almsgiving, and prayer.
St. John Chrysostom's last words:
Δόξα τῷ Θεῷ πάντων ἕνεκεν
"Glory be to God for all things!"
Pagans reject their glorious Christian heritage so they can worship trees... It's pathetic

"(Ex. 20:12 "Honour thy father and thy mother, that thou mayest be longlived upon the land which the Lord thy God will give thee."). Therefore we ought to love more specially those who are united to us by ties of blood."

Today's Mystery:
The Assumption
Today's Daily Decade, for the Feast of St. Ignatius of Antioch, offers prayers for peace in the Ukraine and the welfare of the people there. To this end, we beg the intercession of St. Josaphat, great martyr of the Ruthenian Church whose patronage extends over Belarus, Ukraine, and all Slavic Catholics.
Today's reflection is, appropriately, on suffering, and why we must embrace it rather than flee from it, as well as the sorrow and suffering Our Lady underwent to be rewarded with her glorious Assumption, and the way in which we become perfect like Christ and all His Saints.
God love you!

Jan. 28: Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, Confessor, Doctor, Patron of Catholic Schools
St. Thomas was born c. 1225 in the region around Naples. He was born to an influential family, one of the youngest of some 9 children. At the age of 5 he went to live and study at the nearby Benedictine Monastery of Montecasino. Then at the age of 16 he enrolled in the University of Naples to pursue a course of liberal arts. There, he met a recently founded religious community, the Order of Preachers, & he resolved to join their ranks.
After overcoming his family's objections to his entry, St. Thomas took the friar's habit & continued to pursue his studies in Paris & Cologne for another 11 years. He spends part of that time as a student of St. Albert the Great, another leading light of the middle ages. In 1256, St. Thomas was fully accredited as a theologian & began his career as a teacher. He served in a variety of European universities, in the Papal Curia, & in the convents of his own Order. So he spent time in Cologne, in Naples, in Orvieto, in Rome, & in Paris.
St. Thomas's holiness is hidden but beautiful. When grappling with vexing theological questions about the Eucharist, he was known to rest his head on the tabernacle in supplication. On another occasion, the Lord appeared to him to commend him for his work saying, "Well you have written of me, Thomas. What would you have in return?" St. Thomas is said to have responded, "Nothing but thy self, O Lord. Nothing but thyself."
St. Thomas labored generously throughout his life, but his days ended in a peculiar silence. On December 6th, 1273 he had a mystical experience that led him to set down his pen. When asked why, he responded, "Compared to what I have seen, everything I have written is as so much straw."

"Since, then, God, Who is good and more than good, did not find satisfaction in self-contemplation, but in His exceeding Goodness wished certain things to come into existence which would enjoy His benefits and share in His Goodness, He brought all things out of nothing into being and created them, both what is invisible and what is visible."
St. John Damascene, Exposition of the orthodox Faith II,2
This world is all the hell that ever a true Christian is to endure, and it is all the heaven that unbelievers shall ever enjoy.

Today's Mystery:
The Way of the Cross
Today's Daily Decade, for the Feast of St. Blase, offers prayers for the perfect healing of Brad, who is under intense stress and in need of comfort and struggling with mental health. We offer the prayer for the sick on his behalf.
Today's reflection is on the way of the cross, and how to make the most of our own crucifixion, which we cannot escape - do we choose to be crucified against Christ or with Him? To call upon Him to give our Cross purpose or to revile Him for not taking us down from the Cross? Do we have the fortitude to lean into the cross, knowing His Kingdom is on the other side?
God love you!

The siege of Antioch took place during the First Crusade in 1097 and 1098, on the crusaders' way to Jerusalem through Syria. Two sieges took place in succession. The first siege, by the crusaders against the city held by the Seljuk Empire, lasted from 20 October 1097 to 3 June 1098. The second siege, of the crusader-held city by a Seljuk relieving army, lasted three weeks in June 1098, leading to the Battle of Antioch in which the crusaders defeated the relieving army led by Kerbogha. The crusaders then established the Principality of Antioch, ruled by Bohemond of Taranto.

Today's Mystery:
The Presentation
Today's Daily Decade, for the Feast of St. John Bosco, offers prayers for the working men of the world, especially those whose work leaves them exposed to the elements as they labor. We beg the intercession of St. Joseph the Worker, that the struggles of working men cause them to grow in grace and their families to grow in health and faith.
Today's reflection is on the obedience of the Presentation, and the eagerness to do God honor on the part of the Blessed Mother and St. Joseph, echoing the eagerness of David and Solomon to do God honor by building Him a Temple, the same Temple He promised to provide Himself in His Incarnation as Jesus Christ, that we may all "worship Him in Spirit and Truth"
God love you!

As it is sadly usual by now, Our Lady is deeply attacked in many ways. The modern world directly attacks the virtues she professed most beautifully, among which are modesty, purity, virginity, humility, etc. It is for that reason, us Catholics must know how to defend some of the irreverent things often said by the secular world about her. In this case, the incarnation of Our Lord.
