Immaculate Conception Novena: Sixth Day
“Like Mother, like child,” runs the ancient saw.He who accepts the Savior as His Lord and God cannot doubt the perfect sinlessness that was Christ’s. It is blasphemy to imagine for a second that Christ could have been in the power of Satan, that His soul lacked the fullness of divine life, that He was…
Immaculate Conception Novena: Fifth Day
Nothing else had been so holy among the chosen people as had the ark of the law.Within this sacred tabernacle had rested God’s promise to his people.Yet within this ark there rested only a few things that God had touched or designed. The table of the law, precious writings of God’s dictation, the loaves of…
Immaculate Conception Novena: Fourth Day
Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with Thee, blessed art thou among women.The immortal words, spoken prayerfully every day by millions of Catholics in millions of rosaries, were not of human thought. They were spoken by the Archangel Gabriel, who came straight from the throne of God. These words were an angelic echo of…
Immaculate Conception Novena: Third Day
What does this mean, the Immaculate Conception?Through sin Adam and Eve threw away the divine life that we call grace. And since they were the ancestors of all of us, we lost through them the inheritance that should rightfully be ours.All men, the children of Adam and Eve, were born without grace, without divine life,…

Dark were the days that preceded the birth of the Savior.Sin had thrown over mankind the pall of ignorance and error, despair of God, and distrust of man.Even the chosen people knew that they were waiting in the dark night of their race for the coming of the new dawn that was to be their…
Christmas Novena Begins Today
Pious legends, especially those carrying the imprimatur, are relished around here. One of the better ones is the St. Andrew Christmas Novena. It is pious tradition that whoever recites the following prayer 15 times per day each day from November 30 (Feast of St. Andrew) until Christmas will receive what is asked. The prayer: Hail…
Immaculate Conception Novena: First Day
Two Eves figure in the history of mankind.The first was called Eve by God himself when he made his first daughter.The second was called Ave, Maria, when God’s messenger told her how deeply beloved she was by God and God’s Son.The first Eve, born sinless, brought sin to the world by the fact that she…
From our Friends at the Cardinal Mindszenty Foundation
“No one can be at the same time a sincere Catholic and a true Socialist.” These words of Pope Pius XI that adorn every masthead of every edition of The Wanderer is as applicable today as it was when it was first penned. Along with that revered publication, the Wanderer Forum Foundation and the Cardinal…
The Ultimate Thanksgiving
Great video of a priest offering Mass on a ship off the coast of Iwo Jima in 1945. When you think of it, in this month of the Holy Souls, offer up a prayer of thanksgiving for all of our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen. https://gloria.tv/post/XVLxhprw11471tvaG6ZB824Qu/embed
