Soldiers of the Immaculate

In this episode Father discusses the Miracle of the Sun: the most public “private” revelation since Apostolic times. Satan knows his time is short, and his final (and he hopes decisive) battle will be against Marriage and the Family, which anyone can see has been well underway for a few decades now. While we know not the day nor the hour, our time is short as well and we need to sanctify the time we have before entering into eternity!

In this episode Father discusses Leo’s announcement of a lifetime achievement award for Dick Durbin on the issue of immigration while continuing to contradict Church and Biblical doctrine on the Death Penalty as well as repeating and ‘confirming’ other heresies.

In this episode Father skips the recent political assassination to address the assassination of the Catholic Faith taking place by the hands of the current Bishop In White. Rather than confirming the brethren in Faith he is omitting to speak out against errors and heresy… in fact, he seems to be propagating them intentionally. Read the signs of the times, heed Our Lady’s warnings at La Salette, Fatima, and Akita for the time of mercy is ending.

In this episode Father discusses Trad Inc and how they seem to be more interested in helping themselves than the Church as well as Leo’s recent meeting and apparent approbation of James Martin, SJ, and the scandal crying out to heaven for vengeance in allowing the QGBLTA+ crowd to enter into St. Peter’s Basilica with their blasphemous paraphernalia.

In this episode, Father discusses recent news from Rome, including the recent ratification of Cardinal Castillo by Pope Leo. As the crisis in the Church deepens we need to reflect on the heroic faith of the martyrs, especially as recounted in St. Alphonsus Liguori’s Victories of the Martyrs, so that if God calls us to this glorious honor we wil be ready (worst case scenario: we’re ready to be martyrs but “merely” die holy deaths of some other type).

Greetings to new listeners! In this episode Father reiterates that he’s not a sedevacantist (but likes The WM Review), touches on some recent news from Rome, and talks about the Vision of Hell at Fatima. Hell is real, there are human souls there (and more have arrived while you have been reading this podcast summary) and if you don’t want to go there the only remedy is to know, love, and live the Catholic Faith… and heed Our Lady’s Warnings and use her remedy: The Rosary!

In this episode Father discusses the recent bombing of Iran and questions when the last time was that any church prelate spoke about the requirements for a Just War (which have not existed for the U.S. for 250 years, if not longer). Meanwhile many prelates are churchmen are openly celebrating the abomination of “pride month” while the hierarchy is either silent or approving of this scandal.

In this episode Father reflects on the deep spiritual crisis facing both Church and society and the urgent need to heed Our Lady’s message at Fatima to do penance and reparation and to have devotion to Her Immaculate Heart. We need to embrace the cross, prepare spiritually for persecution, and stay rooted in prayer, especially the rosary, amid an impending chastisement and collapse of both Church and civil society.

In this episode Father reviews the sermon of Pope Leo the 14th from his non-coronation Mass (installation?) and reflects with grave concern regarding Leo’s commitment to continuing the work of his predecessor Francis, his attachment to Vatican 2, and his support for synodality. Father contrasts this with quotations from Pope Pius 11th’s encyclical Mortalimum Annos and several quote from unimpeachable Catholic sources. We can never run from the truth, and the truth seems to be we have a Pope who is willing to speak heresy. This is not a time for fear, it is a time for renewed prayer and study, for fasting, and for preparation for what is coming… time is short before the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart will be accomplished.

In this episode, Father discusses the recent election of Pope Leo 14th and raises some concerns that we as Catholics need to watch. While Leo speaks with perfect Latin and dresses like a Pope, his words and early action suggest he’s far more of spiritual successor to Francis than Leo 13th. The ongoing spiritual crisis within the Church requires direct and definitive intervention from the highest authorities but we aren’t likely to see that anytime soon. All that is left for us now are the promises — and warnings! — of Our Lady of Fatima. Pray the daily Rosary — all 15 decades! — frequent the Sacraments, do penance for sinners, and prepare for what is coming. In the end Her Immaculate Heart will Triumph and she’s given us the spiritual weapons to overcome evil… let’s use them!

In this episode, Father discusses the recent death of Pope Francis and the upcoming conclave while critically examining Francis’ legacy, emphasizing his public heresies, the damage done to the Catholic faith, and the troubling state of the Church post-Vatican II.

We were made for Heaven, and we must live with our eyes fixed firmly on that glorious reward. Don’t aim merely for purgatory—shoot for Heaven, for if you aim low and miss, hell awaits. Let nothing distract you from your eternal end. In Heaven, there will be no sickness, no suffering, no fear, no sin—only love, peace, and the beatific vision. Meditate on it often, speak of it with joy, and long for it with all your being! Unite your daily crosses to Christ’s Passion, cling to our Blessed Mother, frequent the sacraments, especially confession and Holy Communion, and strive for virtue. Remember, your glory in Heaven depends on your love for God here and now. So run the race well, carry your cross with joy, and bring souls with you—for no one goes to Heaven or hell alone. Quotes from the Saints: St. Maximilian Kolbe – “Aim higher.” St. Francis de Sales – “Never speak or act when you’re angry.” St. Paul – Multiple references from his epistles and his sufferings. St. Bernard – “Do you wish to know what heaven is? There is nothing there that gives pleasure. There is everything that delights.” St. Augustine – “He who sings well, prays twice.” St. Alphonse (de Liguori) – Multiple quotes and references, including stories from Preparation for Death. St. Bonaventure – “What measure men put into their love of God here will be the measure of their rejoicing in God in heaven…” St. John of the Cross – Mentioned with admiration for his suffering and love of the cross. St. Pio (Padre Pio) – “The more you are afflicted, the more you should exalt… a soul in the fire of tribulation will become refined gold…” Books mentioned in this sermon: Preparation for Death – St. Alphonsus de Liguori The Four Last Things – (traditional Catholic book often attributed to Fr.

In these dark and perilous times, when sin abounds and the world seems overtaken by evil, we must remember that where sin increases, grace abounds all the more. God, in His mercy, has given us a mighty weapon for these days: the Holy Rosary. After the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, it is our greatest spiritual aid. Do not underestimate its power. Our Lady herself, from Fatima to Lourdes to Akita, has pleaded with us: “Pray the Rosary every day.” Through this prayer, peace is brought to the world, the Church is defended, our families are protected, and our souls are saved. It is through the Rosary that we meditate on the life of Christ, grow in virtue, and resist temptation. So I urge you, pray the Rosary: not with mere lips, but with heart and mind united. Pray it daily, faithfully, and reverently. Make it the heartbeat of your home and the weapon you carry into battle. Heaven is watching. The Queen of Heaven is calling. Will you respond? Quotes from the Saints: Our Lady to Lucia (Fatima): “Say the Rosary every day to bring peace to the world and the end of the war.” St. Bernard: “I cannot promise you happiness in this world, only suffering, but you will have great happiness in the next.” Our Lady to St. Dominic: “From this day, you will speak about nothing and preach about nothing but the Hail Mary.” St. Louis de Montfort: “In the end times, God will raise up little ones who will do greater works than the apostles.” St. Louis de Montfort (on the Rosary): “If you have one foot in hell and you call upon Our Lady, she will yank you out.” St. Louis de Montfort: “A single Hail Mary said properly is worth more than 150 said badly.” St. Pio: “Pick up your weapon!!!” (Referring to the Rosary) Fr. Patrick Peyton: “The family that prays together stays together.” St. Alphonsus: “If you call upon Our Lady immediately during temptation, especially of impurity, you will not fall.” St. John Vianney (related through the story of Fr. Augustine Cohen): “You will receive a letter on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception that will bring you joy.” Blessed Alan de la Roche: “The Rosary brings countless blessings…” St. John Eudes: “The worst punishment from God is wicked prelates and priests.” Books mentioned in this sermon: The Secret of the Rosary – by St. Louis de Montfort Octobri Mensei – Encyclical on the Rosary by Pope Leo XIII The writings of Blessed Bartholomew Holzhauer – on the Seven Ages of the Church   "Video" versions of the podcasts are posted to Odysee, Rumble and sometimes on YouTube (The censors at YouTube don't like Father's preaching so we're not posting everything because we don't want his channel nuked).

During this holy season of Lent, the most crucial step in your spiritual journey is to truly know yourself—to identify your sins and weaknesses, especially that one prominent vice that acts like a stubborn weed in the garden of your soul. Don’t get overwhelmed by your many defects; pinpoint that main root, whether it’s pride putting yourself first, avarice clinging to earthly goods, or another capital sin. Then, focus your fight! The remedy isn’t just willpower; it’s embracing the opposite virtue, like humility against pride or generosity against avarice. Look to Christ, His Holy Mother, and the saints as your models, imitate their humility and detachment, accept the humiliations God sends to purify you, and remember that without God, you can do nothing.

Purgatory is REAL and SEVERE! It is a place where souls in a state of Grace, but not yet fully purified, undergo intense suffering to atone for their sins. It is important to offer prayers and Masses for the Poor Souls, especially Gregorian Masses, and acts of Charity for the relief of these souls. Purgatory is a manifestation of God’s Justice and His Mercy. We need to strive for holiness in this life to avoid the suffering of purgatory and to assist the holy souls through spiritual works of mercy. Books recommended in this Mission Sermon: Purgatory: Explained by the Lives and Legends of the Saints Saint Thomas Aquinas Summa Theologica The Treatise on Purgatory by Saint Catherine of Genoa Citations mentioned in this Mission Sermon: Saint Augustine: “It cannot be doubted that the prayers of the Church, the Holy Sacrifice, and alms distributed for the departed relieve those holy souls.” Saint Bonaventure: “Ponder in mind on the joy of heaven… let your soul hunger and your body thirst for it.” Saint Catherine of Genoa: “How terrible are those expiatory pains since they have caused me to mistake minutes for a year.” Saint Gregory: “The same fire torments the damned and purifies the elect.” Saint Monica (to Saint Augustine): “The one thing I ask of you is that you will be mindful of me at the altar of the Lord.” Saint Anthony Mary Claret: “The souls in hell are like fish in water, but they are in fire—consumed by it.”   "Video" versions of the podcasts are posted to Odysee, Rumble and sometimes on YouTube (The censors at YouTube don't like Father's preaching so we're not posting everything because we don't want his channel nuked).

To prepare well for death, meditate on it daily, as Scripture and the Saints advise. The thought of death restrains sin while ignoring it leads to presumption and spiritual ruin. Always remain in a state of Grace because death is certain but its timing is unknown. Avoid the illusion that you can repent later: many die suddenly, without warning. Detach now from worldly possessions and pleasures, as death separates you from all earthly things. Live as if today were your last day, focusing on prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and devotion to God. The road to heaven is found in the Church, the Sacraments, and obedience to God’s will. Do not delay repentance: God’s Mercy is great, but His Justice is both great and real as well. Citations mentioned in this Mission Sermon: St. Alphonsus Liguori – On meditating on death to avoid sin St. Gregory – God conceals the hour of death so we remain vigilant St. Bernard – Always live in expectation of death to avoid sin St. Robert Bellarmine – The art of dying well requires living well St. Augustine – God hides the day of death to keep us prepared St. Vincent Ferrer – Few habitual sinners receive the grace of a good death St. Jerome – Most who persist in sin until death are lost Book of Tobias, Ch. 12 – Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving deliver the soul from death Gospel of Matthew, Ch. 24 – Be ready, for you do not know the hour Isaiah 29:13 – True prayer comes from the heart, not just the lips James 4:3 – Prayers must be rightly ordered to be effective Books recommended in this Mission Sermon: St. Alphonsus Liguori – Preparation for Death St. Alphonsus Liguori – Counsels for Confessors St. Robert Bellarmine – The Art of Dying Well St. Leonard of Port Maurice – The Little Number of Those Who Are Saved   "Video" versions of the podcasts are posted to Odysee, Rumble and sometimes on YouTube (The censors at YouTube don't like Father's preaching so we're not posting everything because we don't want his channel nuked).
