The Feat of Corpus Christi highlights the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.  What a great mystery of confidence, consolation and closeness.  Knowing that Jesus is truly present should change our way of thinking about him and of relating to him.  Above all in communion, the real presence brings us into vital contact with Our Lord. https://comeawaybyyourselves.com

Our Lord draws closest to us, spiritually and materially, in the Eucharist. How do we respond to this great gift, particularly after receiving Holy Communion? Do we continue to remember that Our Lord is within us, even after Mass, or do we get distracted immediately by worldly concerns? While Our Lord will always desire to be close to us, we must desire to be close to Him as well; we must return His love

In this episode of Fatima Today, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran introduce you to Bertha Petit, a Belgian mystic whose profound revelations about the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary—received between 1910 and 1942—anticipate and beautifully complement the Fatima message. Discover how Our Lord revealed to her the significance of Mary's sorrowful heart, the call for worldwide consecration, and how this devotion is central to Heaven's plan for peace. Through consecration—personal, national, and global—we take part in a divine mission. Draw near to Mary's Heart and join God's plan to renew the world through love and sacrifice.

Kimberly Hahn continues to theological beauty and significance of the third Joyful Mystery. Listen in as she goes enters an in depth discussion on why the shepherds who visit the Holy Family after Our Lord's birth are more important than you ever thought.

When Our Lord was in the middle of preaching His famous Sermon on the Mount, He took some time to instruct the people on how to pray.He said to them, “When you pray, go into your room, and closing your door, pray to your Father in secret: and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. But in praying, do not multiply words, as the Gentiles do; for they think that by saying a great deal they will be heard. So do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. In this manner therefore shall you pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.” (Matt. 6:6-9)What is interesting about this passage is that Our Lord speaks of God as our Father four times in a short space. He is not referring to the First Person of the Trinity so much as God in Three Persons.Almighty God is our Father in Heaven. He created us. He takes care of us. He is the source of everything for us. He wants us to join Him in Heaven. He is my Father because He created me. He is our Father because He created all of us.There are so many things that follow from this fact that God is our Father. But today, I want to highlight three of them.

The tell tale words "In those days when there was no king in Israel" start the sorry saga of the final appendix of the book. They set the scene for the sad state of Benjamin from which tribe came the nation's first earthly king. An unfaithful concubine from Bethlehem-Judah in the allotment of Judah returned to her home having her Levite husband. This unnamed Levite would not, ironically, stay in Jebusite territory lest evil befall them. Instead unspeakable crimes were perpetrated upon his concubine by fellow Jewish reprobates of Jerusalem from the tribe of Benjamin. The Levite heartless husband took the carcass of the pitiful victim, who had been abused all night long by the perverted Benjaminites. The Levite dissected her into 12 parts which were sent to each tribe to invoke retribution. His actions later were copied by king Saul to arouse Israel to unite and take vengeance upon the Benjaminites. How ironic it is that Saul's own tribe: Benjamin  - was almost brought to extinction in response to the Levites actions; and that Saul cuts an ox into 12 parts in the same fashion as the Levite did with his concubine. Isaiah 41 is a prophecy about the Persian king Cyrus who overthrew king Belshazzar's Babylon in BC 538. The chapter tells us of the useless futility of idols and the stupidity of those who insanely give them credence in worship. In Isaiah 41 the faithful are reminded that, despite seemingly unstoppable calamity, their trust in the Almighty will see those He deems to be His faithful servants delivered. So the prophet urges a calmness that will come from heeding their Sovereign's Word. Verses 2-4 describe what the LORD has done for His people and tell them Yahweh alone is their Saviour and God. Verses 5-6 tell of the coastlands response. However verse 7 speaks of a futile persistence of some in idolatry. Verses 8-10 appeal to Israel to trust in their Sovereign. Verses 11-16 encourage Israel that the LORD will protect His people and destroy their foes. Verses 17-20 speak of grand promises of the Almighty to prosper and bless His people. We see some of these in Israel today, but they tell of the refreshing that comes in Messiah's kingdom. Verses 21-24 describe the total uselessness of idols. Verses 25-29 contrasts Yahweh with the stupid and dumb idols. Yahweh is infallible and reveals His will to His children. Verses 1-10 of 1 John 3 elaborates on God's love. The beloved Apostle invites his readers to behold the extent and greatness of the Father's love. Our Sovereign has chosen to condescend and to adopt us as His children. We have entered His family at the immense cost of the sacrifice of His beloved Son. John tells his hearers that they have barely begun conceiving the depth of that love; which will be further understood when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. An appreciation of that love has a purifying effect on the disciple's life. But a failure to understand the moral imperative of Christ's laying down his life has upon the believer could lead to loose living (and then finally to a lost life). It is not the sin of weakness due to the frailty of our nature, but rather the of abandonment to sin (ie living habitually for sin), that concerns the Apostle. John has addressed the weakness of human nature in his first two chapters. To continue practicing sin is to deny the grace of the Father and the great price that was paid for our redemption. Are we the children of the world (ie the devil), or are the children of God? The fruit of our life is the evidence. From verses 11-24 we are shown that how we behave towards our brethren demonstrates our parentage. Do we live a live congruent with our claims? An excursion through the gospel of John will reveal how the case is developed from the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. The motive for the first murder in the Bible was envy progressing into hate. We must always attribute the best motives to our brethren. Slandering, or belittling, others incurs the displeasure of our Father. Cain was banished from God's presence and separated from the hope of a life with the Father. Yahweh sent His Son to lay down his own precious life to bring us into fellowship. Though we may have many a doubt (because we are weak humans) the LORD knows our motives, better than we can understand them ourselves (1 Corinthians 4:1-5). Our Father is ready, willing and able to lovingly respond to our needs and requests (see Romans 8 verses 28-39). Chapter 4 commences with the need to test whether the teachings are true ("try the spirits"), and from God. John in chapter 2 has already told his readers that the errors of the antichrist were active among the community of the disciples. One of the prime identifying features would be the belief in the Trinity, which originated in catechism 312 AD (having been debated by believers for decades prior to endorsing that view. The acceptance that the Lord Jesus Christ was part of a triune God is completely counter to the entire teaching of the Scriptures (even the Encyclopaedia Britannica admits this in its article on the Trinity). Jesus was completely a man, even though he was the Son of God. John 1 verses 1-18 tell us his beginnings were when he was born (compare Acts 10verses 38-43). Jesus came in the flesh (Hebrews 2 verses 8-18) and this was the only understanding of the first century community of faithful believers (read "The Apostles' Creed"). Believers need to listen to God and His Word, not human speculations from false teachers. From verses 7-21 we are further told how "God is love". When we love each other with a true heart and fervently it is a witness that we are God's children. The Father's love in redeeming an erring race has been seen from the time of Creation. Its pinnacle was reached in the sending of His Son to provide a ransom for us. Our Lord was able to comply with His Father's will because of their unity of love and purpose in providing a place for our acceptance on the basis of Truth believed and sins forgiven. An understanding of this and a life lived sacrificially in love and service is the only life a disciple can live. Anything else is nothing but a hypocritical lie.

We have heard the principle, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Our Lord requires His followers not to seek revenge, but to be merciful. This is the most difficult challenge perhaps in Christianity. Anyhow, Jesus never said it would be easy to follow Him. We need to let the Holy Spirit help us. We need to pray for it.

Our Lord, Jesus Christ, is at the right hand of God, has defeated all our enemies and reigns eternally.

Romans 1:3-5 — Christians are forgiven of sin so that they may follow their Savior. Some today reject this notion that one must submit to Jesus as Lord. They argue salvation is by grace, and therefore obedience is not necessary. While salvation is completely by grace through faith, the Christian faith must not be separated from obedience to Jesus. Can one accept Jesus as Savior and not as Lord? In this sermon titled “Jesus Christ, Our Lord” from Romans 1:3–5, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones answers that question with a resounding no. The earliest Christians were persecuted over the word “Lord.” For them, Jesus was not only Savior, but he was also Lord. The very nature of believing the gospel becomes an issue of submission. Christians are commanded to believe, and thus obey the gospel. Dr. Lloyd-Jones shows that the only way one can accept Jesus is in this full sense: as both Savior and Lord. Faith is obedience to the word of God. If the word of God is rejected, then God is also rejected, making Him a liar. Receiving the gospel is, therefore, to obey Him and receive Jesus as Lord. The entire Christian faith depends on the recognition of this and this is what makes one a Christian. This is the work of God: that the Christian believes on Him who He has sent –– Jesus Christ, the Lord.'

Friends of the Rosary,Our Lord is urging us to change our way of knowing, seeing, and perceiving reality.With him, the divine and human have met, and we are invited to be transformed in the Holy Spirit. Our minds, eyes, ears, senses, and perceptions have to be opened up and revitalized. It's a new state of affairs.In this regard, in today's Gospel, Christ Jesus is teaching (Matthew 5:20–26) about reconciliation. He invites us to change our hearts and minds.And if a brother has something against us, we must be reconciled with him first before offering any gift at the altar.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

When Jesus Christ established the Catholic Church, He intended it to be the sole means of receiving the grace of the sacraments and the sanctifying grace that they instill. However, as a result of our free will to choose sin over virtue, we know this grace can be lost at any given moment. Although Protestants may intend to follow Our Lord and be faithful to His precepts, by remaining outside of the Church and depriving themselves of the sacraments, they not only imperil their own souls, but deny themselves of the means of salvation that God provides.

16 Moreover, I saw under the sun that in the place of justice, even there was wickedness, and in the place of righteousness, even there was wickedness. 17 I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is a time for every matter and for every work. 18 I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts. Ecclesiastes 3:16-1818 No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.John 1:18This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.Psalm 18:10“The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he.Deuteronomy 32:4“God alone is good essentially. Other things are good by participation.”Thomas AquinasIt [John 8:1-11] was omitted because of a prudish fear that it would encourage adultery.Thomas Aquinas1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst 4 they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. 5 Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?” 6 This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. 7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”John 8:1-1115 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning,[d] when he has never studied?” 16 So Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. 17 If anyone's will is to do God's[e] will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority. 18 The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood.John 7:15-193 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst 4 they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. 5 Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women.

This is what I think He wrote, linking their names with sins of their past. Perhaps He wrote the name of a woman living in Rome. One old pious Pharisee had had an affair in Rome when he was a young fellow. His wife didn't know about it; no one in Jerusalem knew about it; but our Lord knew that old rascal. AS He just wrote the name of the old woman, the old Pharisee came over and saw—and suddenly remembered that he had another appointment. Perhaps one of the scribes made regular trips to Ephesus, a great sinning place, to a certain address over there which Jesus wrote in the sand. The scrub looked and said, “Oh, my gracious!” He left hurriedly. Another scribe may have left a girl in Galilee who was pregnant. He didn't marry her, and he didn't think anyone knew.

June 10, 2025 Today's Reading: John 10:1-10Daily Lectionary: Numbers 22:21-23:3; Luke 22:24-46“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. When folks look around the sheepfold, it's a lot easier to find the robbers than the Lord. Jesus says, “The thief comes to steal and kill and destroy.” That part, I see. That part we can't miss. The death. The destruction. The evil that doesn't just persist in a world of chance where storms and plagues come and go. There are the evils men do to each other. Sometimes even in the name of religion. Our Lord never contends the robbers being present. He warns us about them. Expect them. They're actually a sign you're in the right place. That He won't chase them out is the cause of all kinds of frustration, but He promises something even more peculiar.  Jesus doesn't stand back from what's wrong. He doesn't demand we earn His favor to fix it. He doesn't promise a perfect world. He promises the cross. He promises to come to the sheep. To rescue them. To carry the lost and bind up the wounded. He comes to make the dead live. He comes to bear the cross, not for the righteous, but for sinners. He came to die for you and for me. He came to be the lightning rod for everything wrong so we could finally stop pretending things were fine, blaming each other for what's wrong, and desperately trying to fix it without success. We cast each sin and evil upon the cross, where God bears them to the bitter end for us. And we hear the voice of the shepherd. It is finished. Your sins are forgiven you. Death is destroyed. And Jesus is risen from the grave.  Understand what the resurrection means. It is an apologetic of hope. Evil raged as hard as it could and still failed to keep Jesus dead. This is a religion carried forward on the backs of martyrs, not afraid to die because they saw someone prove it's not so permanent. They died alone and afraid. They saw what the robbers and thieves could do. And they sang hymns about the shepherd while they died at the hands of the thieves. And even here, Jesus leads them through the door. From the cross to the empty tomb. He rose. They live. And that's beautiful. And it's something that we can still hear today. The shepherd still speaks. He sends his undershepherds. They preach the gospel. There will still be others. Robbers. Don't hear them. They speak of not Jesus. But we'll sing hymns no matter what because the measure of our hope is still the voice of the risen shepherd.  In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, But yet in love He sought me And on His shoulder gently laid And home rejoicing brought me (LSB 709:3)- Rev. Harrison Goodman, Higher Things Executive Director of Mission and Theology.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, KY.In Clarifying the Great Commission, Rev. Daniel Christian Voth identifies common omissions from our collective understanding of Jesus' farewell discourse—omissions that turn Christ's promises of forgiveness, life, and salvation into a legalistic command.

As we mark one month since Pope Leo XIV's election, we look at how he's already sought out unity for both our divided world and divided Church. Ross Douthat, The New York Times opinion columnist and author of "Believe", shares his impressions of the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV so far - and how he might inspire a revival of Catholicism in America. Catholics journeying on the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage's St. Katharine Drexel route were able to follow in the U.S.-born saint's footsteps in Kansas - Alan Holdren takes us there. EWTN's Fr. Joseph Mary Wolfe returned to his home state of Iowa to travel with Our Lord in the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage - he tells us what the faithful in America's heartland can offer us all. Plus, Colm Flynn reports on The Jubilee of Families, Children, Grandparents, and the Elderly at the Vatican - and gives us an inside-look as to what it's like to attend a Jubilee in the Eternal City.

Luke 20 ends with Jesusgiving a scathing rebuke to the Pharisees, scribes, Sadducees, elders, andleaders of Israel about their religious hypocrisy. Matthew 23 gives thismessage of “Woes” that Jesus pronounced upon them in greater detail. Now inLuke 21, Jesus notices the poor widow giving her offering of two mites andcompares her sacrificial heart to their greedy and selfish ones. Compared tothe gifts of the rich men, her two copper coins seemed insignificant, but Jesussaid that she gave more than all the others combined.  Now it was thedisciples' turn to ask the questions! Their attention was on the temple infront of them which was a beautiful structure, embellished with many costlydecorations that a poor widow could never give, and the disciples mentionedthis to Jesus. But our Lord was not impressed, and He responds by telling themthat the day would come when the beautiful Jewish temple would be demolished(Luke 21:5-6). Remember Jesus had already announced that the city would bedestroyed in Luke 19:41-44, but now He specifically mentioned the destructionof the temple. Jesus left the templeand went to the Mount of Olives, and it was there that Peter, James, John, and Andrew(Mark 13:3) asked Him three questions: (1) When would the temple be destroyed?(2) What would be the sign of His coming? (3) What would be the sign of the endof the age? (see Mark 13:3-4; Matt. 24:3) The disciples thought that thesethree events would occur at the same time, but Jesus explained thingsdifferently. Actually, the temple would be destroyed first, and then therewould be a long period of time before He would return and establish His kingdomon earth (see Luke 19:11-27). Our Lord's replycomprises what we call "The Mt. Olivet Discourse," the greatestprophetic sermon He ever preached. It is recorded in greater detail in Matthew24-25 and Mark 13, and you will want to compare the three passages. Weespecially need to remember that since Luke wrote with the Gentile reader inmind, he omitted some of the strong Jewish elements of the sermon whileretaining the essential truths that we must consider and apply. We also need to keep inmind that this was a message given to Jews by a Jew about the future of theJewish nation. Though there are definite applications to God's people today,the emphasis is on Jerusalem, the Jews, and the temple. Our Lord was notdiscussing His coming for the church, for that can occur at any time and nosigns need precede it (1 Corinthians 15:51-58; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). Webelieve in the “imminent return of Jesus” when we are speaking of the “raptureof the church”.  We read in 1 Corinthians1:22 that: "…the Jews require a sign"; while the church looks for a Savior.In Philippians 3:20-21 we read: “For our citizenship is in heaven, fromwhich we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who willtransform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body,according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things toHimself.” This “Mt. OlivetDiscourse” focuses on a period in God's program called "theTribulation" when God will pour out His wrath on the nations of the world.Many Bible students believe that the Tribulation will begin after the Lordcomes in the air and takes His church to heaven (1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:11). Timewise, the seven-year tribulation actually begins when the Anti-christ makes hispeace treaty with Israel (Daniel 9:24-27). It will climax with the return ofJesus Christ to the earth, at which time He will defeat His foes and establishHis kingdom (Rev. 19:1-20:6). As we study Luke 21over the next few days, we will find that Jesus answered the disciples'questions by discussing four topics relating to the future of the nation ofIsrael. Today, as believers weshould be looking up and at the same time doing all we can to prepare othersfor the Lord's return!

The Power of Unity: A Prayer of Jesus, A Call to Us This Homily, delivered in the middle of the Novena leading up to Pentecost, . . . . . . centers on three key Christian themes: unity, faithfulness, and eternal hope. The Homily emphasizes that Jesus, in His final prayer, did not ask for power or success for His followers but prayed for their unity . . . a unity modeled after the perfect harmony within the Holy Trinity. This unity reflects God's nature and serves as a spiritual weapon against division and evil. The first reading highlights faithfulness through the example of Stephen, who, even when facing death by stoning, kept his eyes on heaven and remained united with God, undistracted by his persecutors. His martyrdom serves as a call to remain steadfast in faith, even when confronted by opposition, fear, or discouragement. The Homilist also shares a personal story about facing familial opposition while entering religious formation, illustrating how conviction and trust in God can sustain one through personal trials. Lastly, the second reading is seen as a source of eternal hope, urging believers to long for Christ's return and to live with a hopeful, enduring faith that reflects in their daily lives. The Homily ends with a prayer asking the Holy Spirit to bring healing, courage, love, unity, and life-giving hope. Hear more on how we do this in this Meditation Media. Listen to: The Power of Unity: A Prayer of Jesus, A Call to Us ----------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from the Homily In the prayer of Jesus in the gospel, we have heard that Jesus is not praying for their success. He's not praying that they may have power. What He is praying for is unity among his believers, among those who believe in him! Unity among ourselves. So, the greatest desire of Jesus among his apostles is none other than unity. And the basis of this unity, Jesus says as I am one with you, that they too may also be one. What does that mean? Any community? Any personal individual who lives in unity with the father or with God who lives in love among themselves, that is a reflection of God's nature. God the Father, God the Son, God, the Holy Spirit, they're all one, one God, the perfection of unity, and those who live this unity. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Transfiguration: Danish Painter: Carl Bloch:  1872 Why was this image chosen? Jesus is appearing in His Glory. A Glory He wishes for all of us! For us, our eternal hope is for eternal life and to live with Our Lord in Glory. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Gospel Reading: John 17: 20-26 First Reading: Acts 7: 55-60

This episode reflects on the quiet aftermath of great missions—whether in war, in the early Church, or in our own lives. Drawing from a scene in Band of Brothers, the Ascension in the Gospel of Luke, and a moment from Black Hawk Down, it explores the kind of silence that follows profound revelation. Not a silence of fear, but of purpose. The Apostles didn't retreat after the Lord ascended—they returned to prayer, to wait, and then to go back in. So must we. This homily is a meditation on that return: the hush before the mission continues, a mission that flows from the Ascension of Our Lord. 

In a certain sense, the Ascension is the greatest feast of the Church because it is the supreme glorification of Christ Jesus. This glorification is seen in Our Lord's ascension into heaven after bestowing the Great Commission on His Apostles. Moreover, in sitting at the right hand of the Father, Our Lord--God the Son--demonstrates his triumph over death while preparing a place for those who follow Him faithfully here on earth.

Just three weeks ago, we had a momentous event in the life of the Church, the election of a new Pope. Robert Cardinal Prevost became the 267th successor of St. Peter and so the oldest institution in the world continues.And yet there are some in the traditional Catholic world who do not accept that Leo XIV is the Pope of the Catholic Church. These people are called sedevacantists.Sedevacantists are Catholics who believe that there is no Pope of the Catholic Church because the Pope has fallen into heresy. Most believe that there has not been a legitimate Pope since Pope Pius XII died in 1958. I want to warn you against this opinion.The sedevacantists represent something new in the history of the Church. There have been bad Popes throughout the Church's history, as well as anti-Popes, but never a movement of people who have claimed that the Pope had no authority over them and yet claimed to remain Catholic. It is striking that Our Lord Himself was not a sedevacantist. The religious leaders of His time were evil, yet He supported their authority, “ The scribes and the Pharisees have sitten on the chair of Moses. All things therefore whatsoever they shall say to you, observe and do: but according to their works do ye not; for they say, and do not” (Matt. 23:2) Perhaps this example of Our Lord is why there has been no real sedevacantist movement until modern times, despite the fact that there have been plenty of bad Popes.Perhaps another reason why there have never been sedevacantists until the current crisis in the Church is that no one in the Church has the authority to depose the Pope. There is a principle in Canon Law which states that “No one judges the first seat”. There are theologians who have speculated that the Pope might automatically lose office if he falls into heresy. But it is clear that no individual Catholic is in a position to say whether that has happened or not. Our Lord certainly does not ask us to decide whether this or that person is the Pope or not. The Church could never have any real unity if that were the case. Just think what would happen if a company would run that way. For Abp. Lefebvre, it was theoretically possible that a Pope could lose his office by falling into heresy. But, in practice, he realized that he was not in a position to make that judgment and the prudent thing to do was to give the Pope the benefit of the doubt. That was why, while he recognized the terrible scandals that were happening in the pontificate of John Paul II, he yet went to the Pope and tried to work with him to get permission to consecrate bishops. We will obviously be doing the same with Pope Leo XIV. Unlike Abp. Lefebvre, the sedevacantists do believe that they are in a position to decide with certainty that there is no Pope. But this seems rash, imprudent and prideful. It also seems to represent a bad ecclesiology. The Church simply cannot work that way.

InLuke 20, the Jewish priests, elders, scribes, and the Herodians confront Jesuswith different questions or situations seeking to find a reason to have Himkilled (v.19). They have questioned Him about His authority and Jesus respondswith a question for them about the authority of John the Baptist and also aparable (vv. 1-19). The spies, sent by the Pharisees and the Herodians (Mark12:13), question Him about paying taxes to Caesar and Jesus shuts them downwith His answer (vv. 20-26).   Inverses 27-40, we find next in line were the Sadducees with a hypotheticalquestion based on the Jewish law of "levirate marriage". You willfind where they get this teaching from in Genesis 38 and Deuteronomy 25:5-10.The word levirate comes from the Latin levir, which means "a husband'sbrother." The Sadducees accepted as Scripture only the Five Books of Moses.Also in Acts 23:8 we are told they did not believe in angels, spirits, or theresurrection of the dead. They claimed that Moses did not write about any ofthese doctrines.  Itis interesting to also note that the priestly party in Israel during the timeof Jesus was mostly composed of Sadducees, which explains why the priestsopposed the Apostles' preaching of the Resurrection (Acts 4:1-2) and why theywanted to kill Lazarus, who was raised from the dead (John 12:10-11). Jesuspointed out that His opponents were wrong and that their question revealedassumptions that limited God's power and denied God's Word. Resurrection is notreconstruction; it is the miraculous granting of a new body that has continuitywith the old body. Paul compared our present body to a planted seed and thefuture resurrection body to the glorious flower and fruit (1 Cor. 15:35-50).Our Lord's resurrection body was the same as before His death and yetdifferent! Remember after Jesus' resurrection His disciples recognized Him andeven felt Him; He could eat food and yet He could also walk through closeddoors, change His appearance, and vanish suddenly.  Thefuture life with God is not a mere continuation of the present life only on"a higher scale." We will maintain our identities and know each other(1 Thessalonians 4:13-18), but there will be no more death-hence, no need formarriage and procreation. Christians do not become angels.  Inheaven we will share the image of Jesus Christ and be much higher than theangels (1 John 3:2). Angels appear in Scripture as men, but they are spiritbeings without sexuality. It is in this regard that we will be like them; therewill be no need for marriage or childbearing in heaven. Isnot God powerful enough to raise the dead and give them new bodies suited totheir new environment? If today He can give different bodies to the variousthings in creation, why can He not give people new bodies at the resurrection? (1Corinthians 15:35-44). In their attempt to be "rational," theSadducees denied the very power of God! Paulunveils the mystery of when and what takes place concerning the believer'sresurrection body in both 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:47-58. Ibelieve that Jesus is coming back soon and “in a moment, in the twinkling of aneye” the living believers will experience a great change! Our perishable bodywill put on the imperishable, and our mortal body will put on immortality.  Hallelujah!!!What a day that will be! Are you prepared for that great day! It could betoday!

Friends of the Rosary,In most countries and ecclesiastical provinces in the U.S., the Seventh Sunday of Easter is today celebrated as the Solemnity of the Ascension of Christ Jesus into heaven, marking the end of His earthly life.Ascending again to His Father, Our Lord preceded us into the heavenly home. This triumphant event fills humans with immense joy as it announces what awaits us.The feast of the Ascension of the Lord in his human nature to the Father is the confirmation of our Christian faith. What we call death is not the end but rather the real beginning to an invisible dimension, with glorified bodies, enjoying a true life of eternal happiness.We are consoled and comforted with the assurance that we will live on forever with our dear ones — which is what all human beings want.Death on earth has separated us from our loved ones temporarily. This break anticipates a new life about to begin.That's what we see when we look up to heaven and observe Christ ascending to His Father and our Father.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New York• ⁠June 1, 2025, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ETEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Today we explore the ministers of the Mass and their profound connection to Christ's priesthood. We begin in the Old Testament, with the heads of tribes and the Levites offering sacrifices to God, and see how these acts prefigure the one true priesthood of Our Lord. Then we look at Holy Orders—how it allows priests to act in persona Christi, uniting both priest and victim at the altar. Finally, we examine the structure of this sacrament, the unique dignity of bishops, priests, and deacons, and the controversial history of concelebration. Through it all, we are reminded that the Mass is a sacrifice, and the Church's ministers are essential to our Faith.

This is a day of great joy for us. There are few things in this life that make you so happy as to see someone rewarded for the good that they have done.Today is the day that Our Lord receives His reward for the great good that He did for the human race. At the Last Supper, Our Lord prayed to the Father, saying, “Father, the hour has come! Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You, even as You have given Him power over all flesh, in order that to all You have given Him He may give everlasting life.”Today is the day that His prayer is answered, when He receives the glory that the Father has prepared for Him.And it makes us very happy to see this triumph of Our Lord,because we love Him and we know so well how much He deserves it.It makes us happy because His triumph is a very wonderful thing.It makes us happy because it gives us a glimpse of the glory that we hope to receive one dayWe are familiar with ceremonies of triumph that take place on this earth. Ancient Rome was famous for its triumphal processions. Julius Caesar would come back from conquering a foreign nation that he had subjugated to the Empire.The people would line the streets. First would pass by them the treasures of the conquered nation, all of the spoils that were going to Rome. Then would come the people of the nation who were now going to be made slaves of Rome. Then the defeated king and defeated general who would soon be executed.Then the Roman senate. And finally Julius Caesar himself, the great hero who was responsible for the victory. The celebration was so overwhelming that they would have a slave stand by Caesar to whisper in his ear to remind him that he was going to die one day, that he was not a god.This is an example of one of the greatest triumphal celebrations in human history. If we tried to compare it to something closer to us, we can think about when the Denver Nuggets won their championship in 2023. Thousands of people lined the streets. They put the players in the top of a fire truck and drove them down the streets. They received the adulation and adoration of the crowds.These triumphs are nothing compared to the triumph of Our Lord Jesus Christ on the day of His Ascension. Our Lord took His followers to the Mount of Olives. He blessed them. Then, on His own power, using the glorified body that He earned through His death, He lifted Himself up to Heaven.When He reached Heaven, He opened its gates. All of the angels were assembled to receive Him. He went first into Heaven. Behind Him, He brought with Him His spoils. These were all of the souls in the history of the world who had died in the state of grace. Thousands upon thousands of souls followed Him into Heaven, from the first man and woman Adam and Eve to St. Joseph and St. John the Baptist.Our Lord took His place in Heaven on His throne seat, at the right hand of the heavenly Father. He assigned to everyone else their place in Heaven.A new song was sung in Our Lord's honor, a more triumphal song than any we have ever heard on this earth.This triumph of Our Lord was greater than any triumph that we have ever seen here below, because it was more magnificent than anything that happens here on earth. It was a supernatural triumph, a celebration prepared by God Himself.

It's almost been forty days since we celebrated the Resurrection of Our Lord. In this episode, we discuss the beauty this wonderful feast offers us! 

Join Pastor Balla for this powerful Ascension Day sermon, “Christ Ascended, Promises Secure,” based on Luke 24:44–53 (ESV). Preached within the rich liturgical tradition of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), this sermon proclaims the victorious reign of our risen and ascended Lord Jesus Christ. Far from being absent, Christ ascended to intercede for us, to reign in glory, and to secure every promise He made to His Church.This Christ-centered message confronts the sin of doubt and points to the sure hope found in Jesus' real presence—not just in heaven, but also in His Word, Holy Baptism, and the Lord's Supper. Drawing from Scripture and confessional Lutheran theology, Pastor Balla reminds us that Christ's ascension is not a farewell, but a coronation—where Christ now rules with divine authority and steadfast love for His people.Whether you are preparing a Bible study, meditating on the Ascension of Our Lord, or seeking encouragement in faith, this sermon will strengthen your trust in the Gospel promises that never fail.Watch, subscribe, and share to spread the Gospel of Christ ascended and reigning!
