Psalm, Chapter 27, verse 3:
3Though an army encamp against me, my heart does not fear; Though war be waged against me, even then do I trust.

In a purer sense an army does encamp against every follower of Christ; it is the army of the devil and those under his flag in this world. They do wage a war against us and our only hope is to trust in Christ.

If we trust all we need say for God’s help is three simple words: “Come Holy Spirit”. The Holy Spirit coming to sinful men is what Holy week is all about. It is what Christ’s sacrifice was all about.

Mary of Medjugorje tells us that, “The most important thing is to pray to the Holy Spirit” Because if one has the Spirit “one has everything.[1]

DAY 52 - OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE, PRAY FOR US POWER OF PRAYER The heroes of our faith are the warrior saints who have gone before us. God worked mightily and miraculously through them. Therefore, we must study their ways. In humility, obedience, and trust (H.O.T.), we ask: How did they remain so well connected, in such strong friendship with God, so that his river of supernatural grace could flow so freely through them? What do these "SEALS for Christ" teach us about the ideal spiritual disciplines, the ultimate daily regimen of prayer? Prayer is our outstanding supernatural resource for fighting the wiles of the enemy. St. Alphonsus said, "Prayer is, beyond doubt, the most powerful weapon the Lord gives us to conquer evil ... but we must really put ourselves into the prayer, it is not enough just to say the words, it must come from the heart. And also prayer needs to be continuous, we must pray no matter what kind of situation we find ourselves in: the warfare we are enga...

Tuesday-Family Holy Hour   A family Holy Hour answers the need of generous souls who desire to live more perfectly the spirit of the Enthronement  and who wish to do more (we might say much more) for the Most Sacred Heart by having a weekly family holy hour. Why Tuesday. To make reparations to the Sacred Heart for betrayals; for it was Tuesday of Holy Week that Judas first made a deal with the Sanhedrin. SMOKE IN THIS LIFE, NOT THE NEXT Tue, Sep 22 — Fall Begins Cigar: Oliva Serie V Melanio (Maduro) Drink: Redbreast 12 Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey Reflection: When the season of my life turns to autumn, what garments will clothe my soul? The equinox arrives, tipping the earth into the amber quiet of autumn. Leaves wither and fall, yet in the economy of grace, the close of earthly life is not decay, but the harvest of fidelity. How stark the contrast between the purgatorial flames of Innocent III and the radiant entrance of Father John de Lierre. Dying exhausted in the ...

  Feast of the Motherhood of Mary  The Feast of the Motherhood of Mary arrives like a quiet dawn over Nazareth, a day in which the Church pauses to contemplate not simply the Virgin’s holiness, but her vocation to bear God Himself into the world. It is the feast of the Yes that became flesh. In Mary, maternity is transfigured: no longer merely biological, but covenantal, cosmic, and salvific. Her womb becomes the first tabernacle; her heartbeat the first earthly rhythm heard by the Incarnate Word. On this day, the faithful remember that Christ did not descend as an abstraction. He came through her body, her blood, her breath. The eternal Son took His humanity from a woman who offered herself entirely to the Father’s design. Thus Mary’s motherhood is not sentimental—it is theological. It is the hinge between heaven and earth, the place where divine initiative meets human consent. To honor her motherhood is to honor the mystery of God choosing to need us. It is to stand before ...
