Podcasts about our lord jesus christ

We live on a battlefield not on a playground. This episode pulls back the curtain on the spiritual battle facing every person, especially believers in Our Lord Jesus Christ. In this episode you will learn that people are not your problem, rather we are opposed by spiritual beings committed to our destruction. Learn the key to victory in this episode. #new #newsupdate #holywar #love #trending Photo: Vecteezy.com/free-photos/holywar

Today is day 261 and we are studying The Ten Commandments. 261. How did Jesus fulfill God's Law? For our sake, Jesus fulfilled God's Law by teaching it perfectly, submitting to it wholly, and dying as an atoning sacrifice for our disobedience. (Psalm 119:49–72; Isaiah 53:4–12; Matthew 5:17–20; Romans 8:1–4; Hebrews 10:1–18) We will conclude today by praying the Collect for the Circumcision and Holy Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ found on page 600 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Tomorrow and the next day, we have two special feast days: the Exaltation of the Holy Cross and Our Lady of Sorrows. Both of these feast days are celebrations of the triumph that comes through the Cross. It was through the Cross that Our Lord redeemed the human race. It was by standing at the foot of the Cross and offering her Son that Our Lady became the Co-Redemptrix of the human race and Mediatrix of All Graces.As Catholics, we celebrate these feast days because we believe in what they represent for Our Lord and Our Lady, and also what they represent for us. What do they teach us? That the good bearing of the Cross in this life is what makes for heavenly glory in the life to come.We have these feasts to represent this to us, and we place crucifixes everywhere to remind us that victory comes from the Cross. At the same time, however, we have trouble believing it.Catechism of Trent: “if one thing more than another presents difficulty to the mind and understanding of man, assuredly it is the mystery of the cross, which, beyond all doubt, must be considered the most difficult of all; so much so that only with great difficulty can we grasp the fact that our salvation depends on the cross”.This is harder for us to understand than the Trinity, harder to understand than the mystery of the Eucharist: that our salvation depends on the Cross. Do you understand this?Do you believe that your salvation depends on the way in which you bear suffering in this life? Do you have a supernatural attitude toward suffering, or a worldly attitude toward it?This one thing must divide us from the people in the world, if we are truly followers of Our Lord Jesus Christ: we must have the capacity of carrying our daily crosses.If so many people in this world find the doctrine of the Cross so difficult to understand, it is often because of two illusions that they hold in their minds, illusions that come from the world.

The Church prays in conformity with the truth that without Our Lord Jesus Christ, we can do nothing. It is a self-deception rooted in pride to think we can accomplish anything without God. To believe otherwise emerges from pride, and the only cure is to humble ourselves. God is the source of all good and all honor and glory belongs to Him.

11 And it came to pass afterwards, that he went into a city that is called Naim; and there went with him his disciples, and a great multitude.Et factum est : deinceps ibat in civitatem quae vocatur Naim : et ibant cum eo discipuli ejus et turba copiosa. 12 And when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold a dead man was carried out, the only son of his mother; and she was a widow: and a great multitude of the city was with her.Cum autem appropinquaret portae civitatis, ecce defunctus efferebatur filius unicus matris suae : et haec vidua erat : et turba civitatis multa cum illa. 13 Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, he said to her: Weep not.Quam cum vidisset Dominus, misericordia motus super eam, dixit illi : Noli flere. 14 And he came near and touched the bier. And they that carried it, stood still. And he said: Young man, I say to thee, arise.Et accessit, et tetigit loculum. ( Hi autem qui portabant, steterunt.) Et ait : Adolescens, tibi dico, surge. 15 And he that was dead, sat up, and began to speak. And he gave him to his mother.Et resedit qui erat mortuus, et coepit loqui. Et dedit illum matri suae. 16 And there came a fear on them all: and they glorified God, saying: A great prophet is risen up among us: and, God hath visited his people.Accepit autem omnes timor : et magnificabant Deum, dicentes : Quia propheta magnus surrexit in nobis : et quia Deus visitavit plebem suam.Our Lord Jesus Christ has saved us from eternal death, as He once saved the young man of Naim from natural death and doing this He shows the compassion which He feels for our mother the Catholic Church, lamenting over sinners, just as He was moved to pity for the poor widow grieving for her son.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is putting the fivefold back into the church and the pulpit.

No man can serve two masters. Yet we long for freedom. Truth is our access to freedom. And the only way to freedom is through the actual Truth, which is Our Lord Jesus Christ. The world tempts all of us with false freedom. Our Lord promises only the true path to true freedom.

No man can serve two masters. But also, no man can serve no master. We cannot serve both God and mammon. But we cannot serve neither God nor mammon. In this life, we either serve God or the world, one or the other.One of the most basic things that every man desires is freedom. No one wants to be a slave. We all understand that slavery is incompatible with happiness, and we want to be happy.But the thing is that we are not able to attain freedom and happiness on our own. They are things that we can only attain through service. We either serve the world or we serve God.Both the world and Our Lord Jesus Christ offer us freedom and happiness. But the way in which they do so is completely different.Our Lord famously tells us, “Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls. For my yoke is sweet and my burden light”.In John 8, when Our Lord has His most heated discussion with the Jews, He says, “If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”How do we attain freedom as human beings? We attain it by following the word of Our Lord, by serving Him, by obeying Him. That is what Our Lord tells us about how we become free. Note how this is one of the many paradoxes that we find in the Gospel: freedom through obedience.What does the world say? How does it promise to give freedom to its followers? It says, “I will give you freedom by allowing you to do whatever you want without any constraints except the public order. I will give you infinite choices in entertainment, food, clothing and sexuality. You get to choose whatever you want and we will make sure that no one gives you a hard time for your choices.”Modern technology has made this type of “freedom” so much more accessible in the past, in the sense that the modern world, through its technological devices and its refusal to forbid any type of behavior, provides modern man with many more choices than he had in the past.And what is the result, for those who serve the world in order to achieve their freedom? The result is an unusually high rate of addiction. For many people today, what up front is an infinite number of choices becomes in the end a loss of the power to choose.It is estimated that, in 2024, 16.8% of Americans suffered from some form of addiction. Please note that that is one out of every six people you see walking on the street and means close to 50 million people.Someone may respond to this by saying, “But devout Catholics are addicted to God, and so they have an addiction problem as well”. I actually hope that that accusation is true for many, if not all, of you at St. Isidore's. We want as many of you as possible to be addicted to God.But I think that this accusation about devout Catholics will help us clarify what we mean about freedom and how it is attained by us as human beings.We say that someone is addicted when they know that what they are doing is harming them and yet they still continue to do it. But following Christ, following the will of God, is very good for us. Therefore, someone who is always following the will of God is not suffering from an addiction.It turns out that, when we serve Our Lord Jesus Christ, we end up serving our own good.

Today in The Catechism Series, we turn to the next article of the Creed and begin speaking about Our Lord Jesus Christ. Fr. Lukas Lipp explains the central truth that Christ is true God and true man: one divine Person with two complete natures. What does that actually mean? Why does the Church insist that Christ is not partly God and partly man, but fully both? And why does this doctrine matter for the Incarnation, the Redemption, and even the title of Our Lady as Mother of God?

Fr. Benjamin explores how in the story of raising Lazarus from the dead, many seem to be lacking discernment when listening to Our Lord Jesus Christ's words. He explains how discernment is a gift from the Holy Spirit and allows us to hear and notice how and what God is communicating to us.

Galatians 5:22-23 | Steven Parkin What does gentleness mean? Is it good or bad? While gentleness has largely been redefined as weakness, it actually describes strength under control. Our Lord Jesus Christ exemplified gentleness by coming as a servant and shepherding his people. Our Savior is gentle and lowly, condescending to use his omnipotent strength in a manner that lovingly builds up his flock. As we seek to walk in Christ-likeness, let us put on gentleness towards one another.

I used to be a member of the Presbyterian Church, way back when in my early years. The church I attended was truly Christian, Biblically based, not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and where the love of God was evident. It offered God-honoring music, sincere prayer, and the true Biblical fellowship of the Saints. That was Presbyterian then, but now comes the PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH USA (PCUSA), a church entirely different than the one before. The PCUSA, Cherokee Presbytery, the church which covers the city of Atlanta and much of North Georgia, now goes public with the resolution in favor of all transgender procedures, including that of minors, in the very state, Georgia, which, along with 27 other states, has enacted laws to protect minors from gender transition procedures. The PCUSA went public supporting all things transgender, as it had before with the LGBTQ agenda. The so-called GENDER AND SEXUALITY JUSTICE COMMITTEE approved the church resolution by a vote of 50-10 and the General Assembly in plenary session approached the final draft 441-30 (unbelievable). The vote and the affirmation of transgenderism went entirely against Biblical teaching and Scripture generally, yet this southern branch of the PCUSA defied Scripture and went its own way. This PCUSA committee and its General Assembly said it was more concerned with the wellbeing of many transgender, non-binary, and gender-expansive people who experience symptoms of Gender Dysphoria or distress that result in having one's general identity not match their sex assigned at birth. All of that was more important than anything the Bible, the Word of God, had to say. No matter to these Presbyterians that the international medical consensus has become far more cautious about transgenderism, and many countries, such as the United Kingdom, have sharply restricted the use of puberty blockers for children, and medical authorities have concluded the evidence supporting these major interventions is far weaker than previously claimed. 2 It seems obvious that the PCUSA ignores and never even seriously considered Biblical teaching on human sexually as this amendment was passed. Ignored by them was Scripture, which indicates clearly God created man in His own image. Genesis clearly indicates God made human beings: MALE AND FEMALE (GENESIS 1:27). Our Lord Jesus Christ then cites this creation principle as: UNCHANGING TRUTH. The PCUSA utterly ignored the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ who affirmed the Genesis account of creation in Matthew 19:4-6. The God of the Universe made them male and female. Sex was not assigned at birth, nor was gender identity a matter for human beings to decide, but only for God to decide. My fellow Christians, once any individual, or especially a church, ceases to treat Scripture as final authority, the church, its beliefs and teachings, fall prey to the broader cultural revolution surrounding sex and gender. Dr. David Closson, Director of the Center for Biblical Worldview at the Family Research Council, indicates this was not an isolated decision, but the fruit of years of theological compromise. The PCUSA has been moving away from historic Christian orthodoxy for decades, says Closson. This denomination had abandoned Biblical teaching on marriage and sexuality, redefined sexual ethics, and repeatedly rejected the clear authority of Scripture on issues of human identity, says Closson. In short, the radical, anti-Biblical principles and precepts of the current culture prevail, and the Bible, SCRIPTURE, and the teachings of our Lord matter not at all with regard to this issue. The escalation of the PCUSA's LGBTQ and transgender agendas coincides with an ongoing decline in its membership, and rightly so. In 2025, PCUSA had only 1 million members, a decline in membership from 3.1 million members when PCUSA was formed in 1983. 3 That is so, David Closson believes, because these Presbyterians have abandoned Christian orthodoxy to follow the culture, move in theological thinking and belief to the Left, the far Left, and, at the same time, are undermining their own reason for existence. When a Christian institution abandons Christian teachings and the Bible, and the precious and unique Gospel of Jesus Christ, it loses its uniquely compelling character and really becomes, as Closson says, nothing more than a social club. Small wonder so many members consider this far-Left move by PCUSA has created a church unworthy of participation and involvement. Our beloved Bible teaches us our God, the Triune God whom we believe in, love, and respect, created humanity male and female, none other, and our bodies are gifts to be received rather than obstacles to be overcome. True human understanding does not result in the remaking of ourselves, the change in our sexual identity according to our own desires, but in conforming our lives to Gods wise and loving design. When we are born either male or female, it is what God intended. Let no man or woman seek to change this Divine Decision. It matters not what we want, it only matters what HE wants and decides.

Why does the term "Christian struggle" have a negative connotation to us? It truly should not, if understood properly. Today we look at what a healthy Christian struggle toward Christ looks like. St. Anne (the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary), whose feast day we celebrate today, had a condition that brought her shame as she could not conceive a child all through her adult life. Yet everyday she kept struggling toward God with constant cries for mercy and to be released from this condition that brought her shame. The woman with the issue of blood struggled through a multitude just to get to Jesus and touch the hem of his garment. They are not unlike all of us. We struggle with besetting sins and dysfunctions that bring us shame. Our Lord Jesus Christ tells the parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18. In this parable he invites us to keep coming to Him again and again until He acts on our behalf. What is the Christian struggle? How can we see it as a medicine provided by Christ that unites us to His grace and mercy. These are our reflections in this sermon.

Sunday evening service, looking at the Heidelberg Catechism, or the Orthodox Catechism, Lord's Day 6 - #16-19: Q. Why must he be truly human and truly righteous? A. God's justice demands that human nature, which has sinned, must pay for its sin; but a sinner could never pay for others. Q. Why must he also be true God? A. So that, by the power of his divinity, he might bear the weight of God's anger in his humanity and earn for us and restore to us righteousness and life. Q. And who is this mediator--true God and at the same time truly human and truly righteous? A. Our Lord Jesus Christ, who was given us to set us completely free and to make us right with God. Q. How do you come to know this? A. The holy gospel tells me. God himself began to reveal the gospel already in Paradise; later, he proclaimed it by the holy patriarchs and prophets, and portrayed it by the sacrifices and other ceremonies of the law; finally, he fulfilled it through his own dear Son

The Feast of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ is celebrated annually on July 1st, a date fixed by Pope St. Pius X. The entire month of July is dedicated to the Precious Blood, focusing on Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, his resurrection, and the Eucharist. Origin: Instituted for the universal Church in 1849 by Blessed Pope Pius IX to mark his return from exile, later elevated in rank by Pope Pius XI in 1933. Significance: It honors the blood shed by Jesus for humanity's redemption, specifically focusing on the blood shed during the Passion and the blood/water that flowed from his side, as described in the Gospel. Liturgical Focus: It highlights the blood of the New Testament, the "fountain of salvation" that cleanses souls and is present on the altar during the Mass. Traditional Calendar: While not in the current Ordinary Form (Novus Ordo) calendar, it remains a major feast in the Traditional Latin Mass calendar on July 1st. Related Devotions: The month of July is traditionally dedicated to the Precious Blood, encouraging prayers like the Chaplet of the Precious Blood and the Litany of the Most Precious Blood. While the specific July 1st feast is focused on the Precious Blood itself, it is closely related to the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi), which occurs on a different date based on the Easter cycle.

The Attributes of God - Chapel Library Edition. Our Lord Jesus Christ added nothing to God in His essential being and glory, either by what He did or suffered. True, blessedly and gloriously true, He manifested the glory of God to us, but He added naught to God. He Himself expressly declares so, and there is no appeal from His words: "My goodness extendeth not to thee" (Psa 16:2). The whole of that Psalm is a Psalm of Christ. Christ's goodness or righteousness reached unto His saints in the earth (v.3), but God was high above and beyond it all. God only is "the Blessed One" (Mar 14:61

The Attributes of God - Chapel Library Edition. Our Lord Jesus Christ added nothing to God in His essential being and glory, either by what He did or suffered.

Our Lord Jesus Christ took on the punishments for our sins. He gave Himself over to great suffering so that we may be saved. Through the model He established, numerous saints throughout history embraced His path and became victims for the sins of mankind. These great acts of compassion, in unity with Our Lord, helps ensure our salvation.

June is the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart.The devotion to the Sacred Heart is a devotion to the love of Our Lord Jesus Christ for us, especially His love for us as manifested in the Holy Eucharist.This devotion to Our Lord's physical heart, as a symbol of His love for us, existed during the Middle Ages, but in the 1600s, Our Lord Himself came down on earth to explicitly ask for Catholics to practice this devotion and for this feast to be instituted.The timing and place was important. Our Lord appeared in France at a time when the heresy of Jansenism was rampant in the Catholic world. This heresy made the hearts of Catholics cold towards God and so, a few decades after its appearance, Our Lord reminded the world of His great love for us and of our duty to love Him in return.If we fast forward to 2026, we find that we as Catholics and even as traditional Catholics very much struggle to love Our Lord as He deserves to be loved. This is why it is important for us to have a devotion to Our Lord's Sacred Heart. This helps us to love Our Lord.We must remember what our catechism teaches us, namely, that we are made to know, love and serve God in this life. We are made to love God. Loving God is to fulfill the very meaning for our existence, to accomplish the purpose for which we exist.There are two pieces of knowledge that are very important for us to possess in order for us to love God: one is an understanding of sin and the other is an understanding of God's love.These two things are mentioned in the beautiful Collect of the Mass of the Sacred Heart: “O God, Who in the Heart of Your Son, wounded by our sins, mercifully lavish upon us the infinite riches of love”.There are two great truths there: a) our sins wound Our Lord; b) Our Lord lavishes His love on us. Both of these truths are attacked today by two great illusions.One is the illusion that our sins do not hurt God. This is one of the reasons why sin is not taken seriously today. People do not worry about sin; they do not worry by saying to themselves, “If I engage in sinful behavior, I will offend God and He will send me to Hell”.This is particularly true of the sin of heresy. Heresy has always been considered to be one of the greatest sins because it is a willful rejection of what God has taught us. Our Lord came on earth, He taught us the truths that we are to believe about Him and which we need to get to Heaven. And the heretic says, “I refuse to believe; I choose not to believe” Offensive!But this is also true with sins against the moral law. Many people have the idea today, including many Catholics, that no matter how you live your life, God is still pleased with you. If you have a homosexual lifestyle, God blesses you; if you divorce and remarry, God blesses you; if you contracept your children, God blesses you.It is a hallmark of love that you seek to avoid anything that might displease the one that you love. But today's mentality is that nothing that I do can displease God, whether it be in thought, word or deed.This idea is false; it is sinful. Liberalism is a sin.The other blind spot we have today is not seeing how much God loves us, only understanding God's love in a minimalist way.

Friends of the Rosary,In many countries, including England, the Netherlands, Spain, and Poland, on the first Thursday after Pentecost, the faithful observe the Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Eternal High Priest, according to the order of Melchizedek.Christ the Lord is the compassionate and trustworthy high priest (Hebrews 2:17), ever-living to intercede for humanity before The Father (Hebrews 7:25) and mediate between God and mankind.In him the Father has been well pleased from before all time. And fulfilling his Father's will, he sacrificed himself on the altar of the Cross, as a saving Victim for the whole world.The sacrifice is continually renewed in the Church, so streams of divine power might flow, and the whole universe will be perfected.Priests themselves act “In persona Christi” (“In the person of Christ”).And the laity are thus urged to pray that priests would be more like Christ,Ave Maria!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!

For 28 May 2026, The Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ the Eternal High Priest, based on Hebrews 10:4-10, sent in from Leicester, England, UK.

Two weeks ago, we celebrated Mothers' Day in order to honor our physical mothers, who brought us into this world and nourished and took care of us when we were children.During the whole of this month of May, we honor our spiritual mother, Mary, Our Lady, who takes care of all our spiritual needs as mediatrix of all the graces we receive.With today's great feast of Pentecost, we honor yet a third mother, we have yet another Mother's Day in the month of May. The mother we honor today is Holy Mother Church.The Church is our mother because she is the bride of Our Lord Jesus Christ and is so united with Christ that we say she is His Mystical Body. They are, as it were, two in one flesh.United together, Our Lord and His bride bring forth children unto eternal life. They do this by governing, teaching and sanctifying their children, that is, Catholics. We are born into new life by baptism, we are healed by confession and we are nourished by the Holy Eucharist. Our Mother the Church does all these things for us.Today's feast is like the birthday of our mother the Church. While Our Lord is the head of the Church, the Holy Ghost is her soul. He descended upon the Apostles today and gave them the spiritual gifts they needed to fulfill their priestly functions. The day of Pentecost is the day when they began their mission of going to all nations to baptize people and bring them into the Church. It was the day that the Church came forth and manifested herself to the world.We have a duty to love all of our mothers, and Holy Mother Church is no exception. We must be grateful to be Catholics and desire to do our part, in our life, to assist our mother the Church.This is all the more true today, when our mother is being attacked. What we are witnessing today has often been compared to Our Lord's Passion. In past centuries, the Church at times resembled Our Lord in His public life or even His triumph over His enemies. But today, she resembles Our Lord on the Cross, in that she is wounded and being disfigured by her enemies.One of the most painful aspects of this passion is that, just as Our Lord was betrayed and abandoned by the Apostles, so too the Church today is being betrayed by the successors of the Apostles. The Church remains the Spotless Bride of Christ in herself, but her external appearance has been disfigured by false teaching and bad liturgies.It is like a difficult situation in a family. Consider if the sons of a family started honoring other women as their mother than their actual mother. This would take away from their proper mother the honor due to her. Say they brought those women over their house, gave them presents, and told them they loved them, all in the presence of their own mother.This is similar to today's Popes showing all this respect to false religions: kissing Korans, hosting Pachamama idols, honoring fake Anglican prelates, praying with leaders of all different religions. These things make it seem like these false religions are able to be mothers of souls, as if they can lead souls to Heaven, as if they can do only what the bride of Christ can do.

In this third and final episode explaining the different parts of the holy sacrifice of the Catholic Mass, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, concludes the Liturgy of the Eucharist with the distribution of Holy Communion, the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and the sending forth of the faithful to share the abundance of graces received in the Mass.Become a Marian Helper!Discover more about the Catholic faith on Divine Mercy Plus!

The Readings for Today's Homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/051326.cfmOn the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, Fr. Chris Alar reflects on Our Lady's urgent call to prayer, penance, reparation, and consecration for world peace. He explains Sister Lucia's clarification to Pope St. John Paul II about the true way Russia was to be consecrated: Solemnly, universally, and in union with the bishops of the world. Father Chris highlights the significance of the March 25, 1984 consecration, and connects it to March 25, 2022, when Pope Francis consecrated Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary with the bishops of the world. Fatima is not just a message from the past — It is a call for our time._______________________________The Seven Fatima PrayersDuring the course of the apparitions at Fatima, the three child seers were taught five unique andpowerful prayers, two by the Angel of Peace and three by the Mother of God. Later, appearing toSister Lucy at Rianjo, Spain, Our Lord Jesus Christ dictated two further prayers. For millions ofpeople, these prayers are today a living embodiment of the Message of hope and peace whichOur Lady gave the world at Fatima.Recently a practice has developed of reciting one or more of these prayers on a daily basis. Feelfree to recite them in any order which you find most comforting and appropriate.MondayMy God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do notbelieve, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You!TuesdayO Jesus, it is for love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sinscommitted against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.WednesdayO my Jesus, forgive us, save us from the fire of hell.

 1 These things Jesus spoke, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said: Father, the hour is come, glorify thy Son, that thy Son may glorify thee.Haec locutus est Jesus : et sublevatis oculis in caelum, dixit : Pater, venit hora : clarifica Filium tuum, ut Filius tuus clarificet te : 2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he may give eternal life to all whom thou hast given him.sicut dedisti ei potestatem omnis carnis, ut omne, quod dedisti ei, det eis vitam aeternam. 3 Now this is eternal life: That they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.Haec est autem vita aeterna : ut cognoscant te, solum Deum verum, et quem misisti Jesum Christum. 4 I have glorified thee on the earth; I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.Ego te clarificavi super terram : opus consummavi, quod dedisti mihi ut faciam : 5 And now glorify thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had, before the world was, with thee.et nunc clarifica me tu, Pater, apud temetipsum, claritate quam habui, prius quam mundus esset, apud te. 6 I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou hast given me out of the world. Thine they were, and to me thou gavest them; and they have kept thy word.Manifestavi nomen tuum hominibus, quos dedisti mihi de mundo : tui erant, et mihi eos dedisti : et sermonem tuum servaverunt. 7 Now they have known, that all things which thou hast given me, are from thee:Nunc cognoverunt quia omnia quae dedisti mihi, abs te sunt : 8 Because the words which thou gavest me, I have given to them; and they have received them, and have known in very deed that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.quia verba quae dedisti mihi, dedi eis : et ipsi acceperunt, et cognoverunt vere quia a te exivi, et crediderunt quia tu me misisti. 9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me: because they are thine:Ego pro eis rogo; non pro mundo rogo, sed pro his quos dedisti mihi : quia tui sunt : 10 And all my things are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.et mea omnia tua sunt, et tua mea sunt : et clarificatus sum in eis. 11 And now I am not in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name whom thou has given me; that they may be one, as we also are.Et jam non sum in mundo, et hi in mundo sunt, et ego ad te venio. Pater sancte, serva eos in nomine tuo, quos dedisti mihi : ut sint unum, sicut et nos.Our Lord Jesus Christ has manifested the Name of His Father to man: that they may know Him, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom He has sent.

In today's epistle, St. James tells us that God, “of his own will hath begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be, as it were, the first-fruits of his creatures.”In the New Testament, we hear a lot about this idea that our Father in Heaven “begets” us. It is mentioned in every Mass, at the Last Gospel, when we hear: “As many as received him, Our Lord gave them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name. Who are born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”At the beginning of his first epistle, St. Peter says, “Blessed be the God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has begotten us again, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, unto a living hope, unto an incorruptible inheritance”.But what does this mean when Scripture says that we are begotten by God the Father?

Today we read about Jesus' powerful teaching about the Eucharist. Fr. Mike invites us to believe that the Eucharist is truly the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ because Jesus said it himself. Today's readings are John 4-6 and Proverbs 5:7-14.

On the great feast of Easter, we celebrate the resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a time of immense joy. It is the moment that Our Lord, God incarnate, conquered death. He freed us from this ancestral curse out of His immense love for us.

Hey Everyone Thanks for tuning in. Today's episode is a special Resurrection Day Episode I pray you and your family enjoy this day. This for the believer is a joyous occasion, as we celebrate and commemorate the day in which Our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the grave! Today and everyday we have this blessed hope that because Christ has defeated death we too are victorious over death and separation from God. Today we should no longer fear dying unless you do not have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ! He also PAID IN FULL the debt of sin, we can now live a righteous life thanks to Jesus Christ our Lord!! Make today a time with your family and friends a day to remember! I pray you enjoy this episode and may it be a blessing!

Today’s Lectio Divina is a simple reading of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. Read the scriptures for Good Friday at this link.

The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to St Luke.

The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew.

The Church dedicates the month of March to St. Joseph. He is the patron of the Universal Church. Just as the Blessed Virgin is the mother of all Christians, St. Joseph has been entrusted with the care of all, including the Church herself. This makes sense as St. Joseph was entrusted with being the father of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Moreover, he stands as an example for all. He was a man who accepted the will of God completely, even in the face of requests he could not fathom.

#sermon #catholicThere are two times during Lent when the Church tries to give us a boost and encourage us to persevere in our Lenten practices. One time, of course, is Laetare Sunday, which occurs just after the halfway point of Lent. The other time is today, when we are a quarter of the way through Lent.The fact that the Church tries to encourage us today indicates to us that we should already be feeling a bit worn out by our Lenten resolutions. We should be needing a second wind.If we have not yet made any resolutions for Lent, we must be sure to do so today. If we are finding our resolutions easy, perhaps we should add something to them that is more difficult.For those of us who are worn out, the Church gives us encouragement in the same way that Our Lord chose to encourage the Apostles right before His crucifixion. He did it by becoming transfigured before them.The Church shows us that she really wants to reflect carefully on this episode in Our Lord's life by giving us the same Gospel two days in a row, for Ember Saturday and today. She only does this one other time, Ember Saturday in Advent and the Fourth Sunday of Advent.This transfiguration is encouraging for us because it shows the glory that will come at the end of our struggles. If we persevere in the Catholic life, if we continue carrying our Cross and being faithful, one day we will enter heavenly glory.Our garments will be as white as snow because of the radiance of our body. Our body will shine brighter than the sun.Just as when there is a contest, the contestants are shown the prize that will be awarded to the winner before they start the contest. Seeing the prize encourages those who are competing. When they are in the midst of the competition, they think about what they will earn if they win and they continue in their efforts.So, too, for us, a quarter of the way through Lent and a certain percentage of the way through our life. We might be weary of our duty of state and the daily grind. We might be weary fighting against the world, the flesh, and the devil. Then, we remind ourselves: if I persevere, I will win an eternal crown. I will be happy forever. I will receive a glorified body that will never suffer.This vision of Our Lord's glory had a huge impact on St. Peter. He mentions it as definitive proof of Our Lord's divinity in his second epistle, “We were not following fictitious tales when we made known to you the power and coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his grandeur. For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when from out the majestic glory a voice came down to him. And this voice we ourselves heard borne from heaven when we were with him on the holy mount” (2 Pet. 1:16-18)This vision of Our Lord's glory really happened. And it is a real proof of the glory we will have.

Today is day 51 and we are in the section on the Second Article of the Apostles' Creed on Jesus Christ the Son of God. Today we are on the fifth line: “His only Son, our Lord” and studying question 51. 51. Why is Jesus called the Father's “only Son”? Jesus alone is God the Son, coequal and coeternal with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. He alone is the image of the invisible Father, the one who makes the Father known. He is now and forever will be incarnate as a human, bearing his God-given human Name. The Father created and now rules all things in heaven and earth through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Psalm 2:7–12; John 1:14–18; Colossians 1:13–15; Hebrews 1:1–5; see also Athanasian Creed) We will conclude today with The Collect for the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ found on page 600 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Today is day 49 and we are in the section on the Second Article of the Apostles' Creed on Jesus Christ the Son of God. Today we are on the fourth line: “I believe in Jesus Christ” and studying question 49. 49. What does “Jesus” mean? “Jesus” means “God saves” and is taken from the Hebrew name Yeshua or Joshua. In Jesus, God has come to save us from the power of sin and death.

Today is day 39 and we are on the section on the First Article of the Apostles' Creed on God the Father Almighty. Today we are on the second line: “The Father Almighty” and studying question 39. 39. Why do you call the first of the three divine Persons “Father”? Our Lord Jesus Christ is the only divine Son of the Father. He called God “Father” and taught his disciples to do the same. God gives believers his Holy Spirit and adopts us as his children, enabling us to call him “Father.” (Deuteronomy 32:4–9; Psalm 2; Matthew 6:6–9; John 5:17–23; Galatians 4:1–7) We will conclude today with The Collect for The Sixth Sunday of Easter found on page 613 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

The sermon you are about to hear was preached by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre on the feast of the Purification, a day when the Church contemplates Christ as the Light revealed to the nations and received in faith by Simeon. Speaking to seminarians receiving clerical investiture and Minor Orders, Archbishop Lefebvre uses this liturgical moment to reflect on separation from the world, the dignity of the soul, and the light of eternal truth given by Our Lord Jesus Christ. His words are not limited to those preparing for the priesthood. They speak to every Christian called to live in the light of Christ rather than the blindness of the world. With clarity and fatherly gravity, he presents the cassock, the minor orders, and the discipline of the seminary as signs of an interior calling: to belong wholly to God, to know Christ above all else, and to become a light for others. Rooted in Scripture, the Church's prayers, and devotion to Our Lady, this sermon reminds us that only those who receive the light of Christ can truly give it to the world.

The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls.

What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it. https://sspx.org

Homily from The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. The moment of victory is the moment of vulnerability. We often think that we win by being strong, or beautiful, or clever, or powerful. But Christ wins by another means. Christ the King, Lord of the Universe wins by choosing to empty Himself of all that we think we need to win.
