We remind you of the daily Prayer to Saint Joseph during October. The holy foster-father of Jesus served as the chaste earthly spouse to the Blessed Mother whose Divine Maternity we celebrate to kick off this second week of October where the Double of the Second Class Feast of Our Lady supersedes the Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost. The latter's liturgy is celebrated in the only Feria Mass of the week the following day when we observe the traditional feast of Our Lady of Pilar where, in Zaragoza, Spain the Blessed Virgin appeared to St. James the Greater to call him back to Jerusalem. This is one of the oldest feasts of Our Lady's first recorded apparition, but in the United States it is not commemorated in the liturgy. Something else true Catholics do not commemorate, but rather...

We are only two years away from the 100th Anniversary of the Fatima Apparitions. As we near that centennial, we are reminded all the more of the dismal failure to obey the Blessed Virgin Mary's request imparted to three innocent Portugal peasant children to alert the Church of the dangers ahead and how to stave off this disaster. Her Rosary was the chief answer and only a handful remain true to that today. In fact, the Rosary is the one link to CONciLIAR catholics that gives us hope they will be given the grace to truly see they are in a no-win situation in the CONciLIAR church. The 13th of October is the liturgical feast of the holy king Edward the Confessor who subjected himself and his subjects to the King of kings in all things. Several centuries later, His Holiness Pope St. Pius V called upon the faithful to also submit to Christ the King and to His holy Mother Mary's most powerful weapon to stop the infidel Turks from imposing Muslim Sharia Law by a victory led by Don Juan of Austria's undersized Christian armada in the Bay of Lepanto, Heaven can work miracles. So also today with the Islamic threat so paramount in building a global caliphate and slaughtering Christians, and now with Russia flexing its error-filled muscles that have spread everywhere, we had better turn to Our Lady and call upon all Heaven's forces by praying our Rosaries. We can see Our Lady's role and the power of the Rosary in St. Pius V's Apostolic Constitution Consueverunt Romani
This is the month of the Most Holy Rosary and we've been building towards this month as we continue each day a chapter from St. Louis de Montfort's "The Secret of the Rosary." In addition, throughout October we endeavor to bring you a daily sermon tying in with Our Lady and the Holy Rosary or a special feast, all courtesy of Traditional Catholic Sermons. If ever we've needed Our Lady's help through storming Heaven with Rosaries, it is now. With the Islamic threat, with the fear of war not only in the mideast, but on our borders and, actually, everywhere, and with the increase in persecution of believers in the Holy Trinity, and especially Traditional Catholics being denigrated by the Marxist Argentinian who heads the false CONciLIAR church, well, the answer is to do as St. Paul advises in 2 Thessalonians 2: 14 and stay with the traditions we have learned. One of those traditions bestowed by Heaven 801 years ago is Mary's holy psalter and, as proven through the annals of Church history, has been one of the most powerful weapons we could ever have. The problem is we're not using our full arsenal that Heaven has given us. The Mother of God urged us to pray the Rosary at Fatima. We know from St. Louis de Montfort the power of the Rosary.
We know from Lepanto how praying the Rosary can overcome all odds, yet how many are using this simple, effective weapon that is more powerful than any bomb, gun, cannon, axe, machete, flamethrower, bow-and-arrow, sword, slingshot, or you name it. The fact is no human weapon is more effective than the Rosary. And you can carry it anywhere and use it anytime. Any questions? Then take up thy Rosary and fire away.
We all need to continue to pray the Holy Rosary as often as our states in life permit. Probably few times in history have Christians been more reviled than in our day when the godless seem to be stifling free speech and forcing more crosses on those who won't compromise with the world, the flesh, and the devil. We cannot let up and should not limit our Rosary to one day a week. In fact there is now a way where you can join others in praying the Holy Rosary on ROSARY CALL where Tom Gilbrough from Mt. St. Michael's in Spokane has set up a conference call every evening now an hour earlier at 7 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time. On the east coast this would be 10 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, Central 9 p.m., and 8 p.m. Mountain time. Just call 712-775-7031 then, when answered, punch in access 393-323# You are encouraged to call in 5 to 10 minutes early to prepare to share the Holy Rosary with others. You can follow along with the prayers of the Rosary if you do not know them by going to Holy Rosary port The Rosary is the most powerful weapon we have. Connect those beads. That will provide the grace to...
Typical of this Marxist Modernist, who couches his platitudes in the heresy of relativism, he has so duped the majority of souls and will do even more damage with the upcoming Synod in Rome which more appropriately should be spelled SIN-odd since it is not only odd, but totally antithetical to call a democratic summit to talk about easing Catholic restrictions that have alway been upheld. This SIN-odd grew from Jorge's own acceptance of mediocrity and his statement that "we must be more lenient toward homosexuals, couples using contraception and living together outside of marriage, and the divorced" bodes toward a total liberalization of the Modernist church. It is a moral implosion that threatens more souls by making life on earth easier, yet much, much harder to get to Heaven, even if they can receive the wafer and CONciLIAR kool aid. I guarantee it won't help souls. God's not for it, satan loves it. That tells you everything.
To many it would seem the gates have shackled what to the world appears as the Catholic Church today. We know that is impossible because Christ prommised that would not happen. Therefore, it is only logical to syllogize that the church posing as Catholic is nothing but an evil imposter intent on stripping her of all semblance of Catholicity. Yet so many remain blind, deaf and dumb to it all, going along to get along without realizing how wrong they are and how they will have to account for their actions or inactions at their Particular Judgment when it will be too late to make excuses or say 'I didn't know'. That is why we have continued to publish the DailyCatholic and link you to reliable, trusted sites so you can't say you didn't know. Yes, it means leaving the comfort zone you've erroneously grown accustomed to, but it's time all realized that we owe our allegiance not to men who violate the Faith, but to God and all that His holy Catholic Church passed down from Peter through the last true Pope - His Holiness Pope Pius XII of happy memory. Since then the wolves have invaded and engulfed souls in their wicked jaws. The six imposters you see here could never be true Popes as previous true Popes have decreed as is documented to the right.
We've documented before many of the bizarre things he's said off the hip and formally that the world takes one way while Traditional Catholics see through the veneer and can peg his agenda so clearly. That's another reason he has targeted Traditional Catholics many times in derisively calling them "neo-pelagians" and worse. He can't touch sedes, so he focuses on those who subscribe to the Recognize-and-Resist camp. We've seen his hatchet job on the Franciscans of the Immaculate last year and now the SSPX. Do those who cling to the Society really want to align with these apostates? Puhlease. When, oh when will those in the Recognize-and-Resist camp wake up to the fact UNfrancis can't possibly be a true pope, let alone even be Catholic? His tactics are the way liberals and Marxists operate as is obvious from his humanist ridiculous, sacrilegious eco-cyclical and catering to Islam. But then, as he and his ilk proffer so humbly (yeah, right!), who wouldn't agree that we must not be concerned with "small-minded rules"? Those are supposedly passé in today's world. Who should want those? Every true Catholic worth their salt, that's who. And those who still remain Recognize-and-Resisters had better realize that the world loves to hear this. Shouldn't that tell everyone, who has ears to hear, that he is anathema, and worse, quite possibly the antichrist; definitely a precursor to thee antichrist.
When you discover what the True Church teaches you'll realize that ever since the death of His Holiness Pope Pius XII , the Catholic Church hasn't been the same. That's right, and Jesus tells us why. Because what poses as 'Catholic' today, governed by those usurping the authority in Rome and dioceses throughout the world, is a false church - an arrogant, out-of-control, failing man-made religion that has eclipsed the humble true Church consigned in these times to the catacombs. Jesus identifies these proud modedrnists who have eclipsed the true Church quite clearly in St. Matthew 7: 15 that we must beware of the false prophets who may appear in clothing of sheep, but inwardly we must recognize them as ravening wolves or worse. If the faithful couldn't see the "abomination of desolation" (St. Matthew 24:15) and devious destruction of the true Faith during the regimes of the first five imposters since Pius' passing, they should surely see it now as Roman-born Argentine Bergoglio continues his agenda to wipe out any vestiges of Catholic truth that would be offensive to non-Catholics in his Marxist mindset to please man, not God through his humanist efforts to form a One World Religion. If one reads St. Paul's warning in 2 Thessalonians 2: 3-11 and what many would do in 2 Timothy 4: 3-4, we can more readily see what Our Lord meant in St. Luke 18:8 when He asked rhetorically if there would be any one of faith left when He returns.
As these sites above point out, the only obstacle to totally dominating as a totalitarian society is the Roman Catholic Church. Always has been. Since the death of the last true Sovereign Pontiff Pope Pius XII on October 9, 1958 that wall of resistance has been steadily crumbling thanks to those with a worldly Marxist bent to accept the world and please man rather than God as is so evident today. Oh, the devil is laughing, but he seems to forget Genesis 3:15 where the Blessed Virgin Mary will crush his head with her heel. Oh, we can't wait! Until then, it's important to expose the wolves just as the holy Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales advises for the sake of informing souls of the dangers these charlatans pose.
The vast majority of Protestants and Novus Ordinarians do not realize this and it is left to true Catholics to inform them, to reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine. Basically it means upsetting their comfort zone. They may not like it, they may put up their defenses or do as so many do, change the subject and get away as fast as they can. But if we, as true faithful Catholics who abide by the infallible, perennial Magisterium of nearly 2000 years, do not do as Paul instructs in verse five to be vigilant, labor in all things, and do the work of an evangelist to fulfill our ministry while keeping sober, then we will be held accountable for our stewardship and face bad news at our Particular Judgment. We may not win friends with our persistence to proclaim the truth, but if we can convert souls, that's all that counts with God. Man has a free will. That is something to remember and when rebuked, then shake the sandals and move on. After all, all Our Lord asks is that we try. He'll do the rest. We conclude with the reminder of what Christ says in St. Luke 18: 7-8, "And will not God revenge His elect who cry to Him day and night: and will He have patience in their regard? I say to you, that He will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when He cometh, shall He find, think you, faith on earth?" The truth is there is little faith left and it is dwindling by the day. It all makes sense today and it makes sense to take our stewardship seriously and commit our efforts to restore the sacred by driving the apostates out so that the churches can someday, in God's time, become truly Catholic churches again after they are re-consecrated with the filth washed away.
So while the Marxist apostate Mr. Bergoglio the unFrancis continues to proclaim ever so boldly collective salvation through protecting against 'global warming', we must realize each one of us is responsible for our own salvation and we've been given the blueprint before Vatican Two. Guess what? It still works. Guess what else? The new-fangled CONciLIAR religion doesn't work. Never will. That is why we find more waking up after praying for the grace to see, truly see, and that is where twitter can be a great means of conversion one soul at a time. That's why, to paraphrase an axiom in less than 140 characters, brevity is the soul of witnessing as we ask you to follow the DailyCatholic on Twitter After all, it is not 'global warming' we should fear but God's Global WARNING.
I know it's becoming monotonous to keep reminding our readers, but with bills in arrears of $1,500.00 we have no choice but to ask for donations. First, we cannot continue to publish if donations do not increase, especially monthly pledges so that we can budget. Secondly, this is a labor of love and there are no salaries or any perks that other non-profits provide their executive directors, often in six figures. We're fortunate to garner the low two figures and we're grateful for that even though our debts are the same or higher. It's just a fact of life and we've repeated it so many time, it gets so tiresome mentioning that it's the same loyal benefactors who always answer the call, but few others. Ask yourself why? Ask yourself if you do not have a duty before God to help those who labor in the field for Jesus and His True Church with no compromises to the false faith, the "mystery of iniquity" that has deceived so many. Is your heart that hardened that you wouldn't give for a worthy cause? Is not pledging a monthly donation worth it for perpetuating the one true Faith? The answer can only be determined by you and what you deem to be generous and worthy. Now I just ask for a little love from our readers by clicking the graphic below to take you to our Donation page. Thank you in advance.

Though it is not a Sunday feast, considering it is a special feast of Our Lady today, John Gregory has provided the Haydock Commentary for the Double of the Second Class Feast of the Divine Maternity for October 11. In the commentary, Father George Leo Haydock provided the proof of Our Lord's humility in subjecting Himself to His Mother Mary and step-father St. Joseph. Being the daughter of the Father, the spouse of the Holy Ghost, Mary is the Mother of the Son, thus manifesting to all through holy Scripture that she is the Mother of God - Theotokos (Θεοτόκος)and therefore due all the honor of such a title with the attributes illustrated in today's epistle from Ecclesiastes. Christ set the example of how all children should treat their parents in being obedient and respectful to the lawful Authority God granted. If Jesus could be subject to His Mother and honor her thusly then and forever after with the heavenly edicts bestowed upon her from the Cross, then lifting her up into Heaven and crowning her as Queen of Heaven and earth. If God so honored Mary thusly, should we do less? Honoring Θεοτόκος (Theotokos) During this month of the Most Holy Rosary we continue to bring you John Gregory's envisaging meditation on each Mystery to enhance our own praying of Mary's holy Psalter each day. Today John provides an insightful inspiration on the Visitation where Our Lady dismissed all concerns for herself to minister to others, most notably her cousin St. Elizabeth who was further along in her pregnancy than Mary. Elizabeth recognized in Mary God's design for her younger cousin as did the babe in her womb - Saint John the Baptist who, though not conceived free of Original Sin was sanctified at the presence of the Babe in Mary's womb - the fetus of the God-Man. In this time when man's uncharity towards his fellow man is legend, we need to refocus on the intention for the Second Joyful Mystery - charity towards our neighbor out of our love for God. This charity is not reserved only for a select few, but all we meet. This charity is not about doing only humane things for others, but going well beyond that in doing all we can to do all in our power to see that our neighbor will save his eternal soul. This means charitably rebuking, correcting and admonishing if our neighbor has veered from the path God intended, and that means knowing our Faith so others will know it and convert. That's the greatest charity we can do for others because we do not want to see them condemned. That's what can happen as Jesus so clearly told us in St. Matthew 28: 20 and St. Mark 16: 16. See the Second Joyful Mystery St. Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort emphasizes what Our Lord has said about how prayer is so much more powerful when two or more are gathered in His name. That is what the Rosary is, prayer to Jesus through Mary and as the famed Rosary priest Fr. Patrick Peyton said, "the family that prays together, stays together" so also St. Louis says about the Confraternity and a reason for the Confraternity as he lays out the benefits of praying in a group. The larger the better which is only logical. Isn't then logical to follow St. Louis de Montfort's advice as in every traditional parish the Rosary is always said before the Blessed Sacrament before Mass where congregants pray together. Join in and realize as St. Louis offers a Forty-Sixth Rose that there's Strength in Numbers

Though there is no commemoration, it is the traditional observanceof one of the oldest feasts of honoring Our Lady of Pilar when she appeared in 40 A.D. to St. James in Zaragoza, Spain.
Because the Sunday liturgy was superseded by the feast of the Divine Maternity yesterday, we present the Haydock Commentary for the Twentieth Sunday provided by John Gregory for today's Feria day. For the Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost the cupboard is pretty bare as far as any commentary accept for affirming that the man's son was healed the instant our Lord said "Thy son liveth." An interesting aside to this week's liturgy is Christ's words that "Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not." This is the exact scenario we have today where so many do not believe unless they can see for themselves. This skepticism has grown where they have not understood St. Paul's words to the Ephesians to avoid luxuries and things that will cloud your submission to the will of God. Alas, too few have followed this advice and proved true Paul's words "redeeming the time, because the days are evil." John provides the short commentary for Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost "Unless you see signs and wonders"
The late Father James F. Wathen now points to the most notable change that invalidated the Consecration of the wine, the words in the Epiclesis that are necessary for transubstantiation of the wine into the Blood of Christ and that would be "for many", Latin "pro multis". The Novus Ordo on mandate from Paul 6, changed it to "for all" which not only contradicts Christ's intent, but makes the Mass null and void, or as he has called it "The Great Sacrilege" for the Sacrament is not confected, but rather an aberration takes place for it is, as Jesus foretold in St. Matthew 24: 15, the "abomination of desolation". Benedict 16 changed it back to "for many" but by this time there are so few true priests left in the CONciLIAR church that it's still null and absolutely void. Father pointed out that the words "for you and for many" "pro vobis et pro multis" are a combination of Our Lord's words from St. Matthew 26: 28 and St. Luke 22: 20 as he quotes the codified Cathechism of the Council of Trent. The vital part of this chapter is to emphasize that it must be "for many" and not "for all" because the Precious Body and Blood in the Holy Eucharist can only provide grace for those who cooperate with grace. Therefore, since there are those who won't, it can't be for all but must be Pro Multis
98 years ago Our Lady warned for the final time at Fatima that Russia's errors would grow and what we have today is exactly the dangerous situation she foretold where Marxist and Muslim are teaming up on a parallel course with a nod from freemasonry to eliminate Christianity (read true Catholicism). The video below that we published here three years ago is a must for all Christians now more than ever as the terror grows and countless Christians have given their lives rather than worshipping the false god allah. Now it's time for all Americans, all of civilization to see what this revolution of evil consists of. Sharia Law is just around the corner, folks, and, with Putin entering the fray guns ablazing, Syria is steadily leading to the foretold Armeggedon. We can see this forming with the events in the Mid-east and the Trojan Horse invasion of Europe, and, thanks to the feckless Obama administration, America. Are any of the world's leaders aware of the charade of "refugees" who are, in effect, ISIS plants within the ranks? The video below was created by a courageous Austrian who does not subscribe to political correctness and was determined to get the truth out for the climate today abhors the truth and few have the grace to say what he wrote underneath the magnificent "Vexilla Regis" score. He knows what Islam preaches only too well and documented what this radical cult really teaches and why it is so dangerous to body and soul, and why we can't cower in the face of their threats nor be intimidated by the social engineering accusation of being "Islamaphobic." That's the devil's way of silencing truth. The same with Communism and Masonry. The three-headed dragon. We were warned at Fatima and did not respond as Our Lady asked. If we do not don the armor of God now, knowing we have the assurance of God's Prince of heavenly Host behind us, and speak out for the Truth, the Way, and the Life, we will all be conquered by the devil's infidels. Onward, Christian Soldiers for Christ, our Sovereign King! On this 98th Anniversary of the final Apparition of Fatima we ask you to express your love for your neighbor and send this to as many as you can to get the word out on exactly what we are really facing. Remind them that there is one Holy Trinity - Three Persons in one God - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, and the 'Allah' of the Islam cult is not the same, but rather he represents God's adversary for the true God does not teach or tolerate hate. What the true God asks is for us all to love God with our whole heart and soul, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. It's time to... During this month of the Most Holy Rosary we continue to bring you John Gregory's envisaging meditation on each Mystery to enhance our own praying of Mary's holy Psalter each day. Today John provides insight from various reliable sources to enhance the meditation on the Third Joyful Mystery and better allow ourselves to meditate on that Holy Night while giving all a greater appreciation of Mary's role in salvation and how, through the Nativity of her Divine Son, and in cooperation with the chosen Joseph, She cooperated with God's call to bear all things in love, silence and obedience to God in all things for His greater honor and glory. See the Third Joyful Mystery The painting here of St. Bridget is so beautifully depicted in the painting by Michelle R. Maher. To see a larger copyrighted image click on the painting here. Today in the Revelations and Prophesies imparted to St. Bridget of Sweden Our Lord imparts to her how there should be humility in the house of God at all times. He emphasizes how such a house signifies purity of life, and how buildings and alms should be donated only from goods that are righteously acquired and not stolen or received from disreputable sources or graft or unfair tax or any other unethical way. Jesus also tells her how to restore those goods that were wrongly acquired for God will hold each responsible for one's actions as we see in Chapter Eighteen A House of Humility A House of Humility St. Louis Marie-Grignon de Montfort continues with his 48th chapter of "The Secret of the Rosary" in speaking of blocking out the world, the flesh and the devil by being in the proper frame of mind so that one can persevere in one's prayer life, especially in keeping to the pledge of saying the daily Rosary. He points out the arguments that might deter one from persevering, but reminds us that saints didn't quit or become lax, but rather to become holy one not only has to give an effort, but also to persevere through it all as he offers up to Our Lady a Forty-Eighth Rose to Stay the Course

In part nine of Chapter Four of the late Father James F. Wathen's book that the New Mass (Novus Ordo) is "The Great Sacrilege" he applies the fait accompli to it in showing the invalidity and illiceity of the Novus Ordo because it has veered so far from what was set in stone for the Form of Consecration by the Council of Florence and Council of Trent, both infallible, dogmatic councils. Father also cites Pope St. Pius V's De Defectibus which deals with the defects that would make the Mass illicit and invalid. Father dealt with the progressive plot to alter the Holy Sacrament of the Altar and the fact of Christ's Own command and the deliberate deceit of the Modernists who intended to downplay, if not eradicate, the sacrificial aspect of the Mass in favor of a mere meal, aka the Last Supper. That is why it's called a "Celebration of the Eucharist" rather than the Holy Sacrifice today. But there is nothing to celebrate for the Eucharist is not truly the Holy Eucharist since the sacrament was not confected. Such are some of the problems with Novus Ordo's claims of its Validity and Liceity
St. Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort now treats the indulgences provided to Rosary Confraternity members. Here we combine this chapter along with the final one which also deals with indulgences, which are the remission or relaxation of temporal punishment in Purgatory due to actual sins through the application of superabundant satisfactions of Jesus, Our Lady and the Saints. These are never for sale nor should they be used to barter for anything. They are entirely spiritual and they are kept in God's ledger even if we never remember what indulgences we have gained. Again, intention of the heart is what counts as St. Louis offers a Forty-Ninth Rose for Building Up Dividends
During this month of the Most Holy Rosary we continue to bring you John Gregory's envisaging meditation on each Mystery to enhance our own praying of Mary's holy Psalter each day. John provides a comprehensive reflection/meditation and study on the Presentation of the Child Jesus and the Purification of His Blessed Mother in the Temple and a renewed perspective of Mary's role in salvation in how her life parallels her holy obedience to all God has asked. Though her divine Child would be submissive to her as an obedient, loving Son for the next 30 years, it was here, 40 days after His birth that Mary followed the letter of the Jewish Law not only to present Him to the Jews as the Messiah, so recognized by Simeon, but also for Mary to obediently go through the rite of purification in the eyes of man - though she already was the purest vessel ever created by the Almighty, free of original sin. In a sense, for the rest of us born with Original Sin, her submission was the precursor for the Sacrament of Penance. See The Presentation We continue to provide a chapter each day during October so readers can meditate on the contents of each short chapter and not be overwhelmed by too much. In Chapter Twenty the Mother of God appears with her divine Son and, after affirming the sacrificial love both mother and Son offered, They lay out for St. Bridget four qualities she should have in preparation for being betrothed spiritually to Christ: a chaste soul and body, a belief through faith, obedience with humility over one's senses, and fourth to be humble and united in spiritual marriage for with Christ she can produce many souls without deflowering here soul or body as we see in Graced with Purity In his masterful work "The Secret of the Rosary" St. Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort has added a beautiful introductory prayer before beginning to pray the holy Rosary. He has treated the subjects of proper disposition, and how we should pray Mary's holy Psalter. Now he provides the prayers including before the Apostles' Creed the inspiring prayer that truly places us in the proper disposition with our promise to "renounce all distractions that may come" during the time we are praying the Rosary. There are more prayers said at the beginning of each decade to remind us of the mystery and at the end including the prayer given to the children at Fatima by the angel as St. Louis completes five decades with a Fiftieth Rose for Getting the Most out of the Rosary
Father Wathen continues with part ten of Chapter Four in which he brings to our attention the fact that Mary, the Mother of God has been not only downgraded in the Novus Ordo, but any reference to her role in salvation has been stripped. No wonder she wept so at La Salette when she told the children "Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the antichrist". Through God, she was given to see our very times. She most likely wept to hear a man the world thinks is a 'pope' to publicly say in December 2013, "Our Lady was human! And perhaps she even had the desire to say: 'Lies! I was deceived!'" What blasphemy in the face of the only woman God deigned free of original sin and which the Council of Trent decreed anathema sit for anyone suggesting she was not. Bergoglio is anathema sit, and not the only one guilty for The Dishonoring of Mary During this month of the Most Holy Rosary we continue to bring you John Gregory's envisaging meditation on each Mystery to enhance our own praying of Mary's holy Psalter each day. John provides a comprehensive reflection/meditation and study on the last of the Joyful Mysterires in the Finding of the Child Jesus in the temple. What may be lost in this scenario that the Blessed Mother and Joseph went through was the anxiety and fears that their Child was lost or taken. It took faith to believe they would find Him. This mystery marks the final public appearance of Jesus from the time He was twelve until He reached thirty. In this mystery in the Temple we see the relationship between Mother and Son. In Mary's few words we see expressed the loving and concerned motherly compassion that so well defines her role for us as her children today, and in her Divine Son's reply is laid out the mission Christ will undertake. See The Fifth Joyful Mystery In following up the 50th chapter, St. Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort now begins to illustrate how we can offer up each decade by recalling each mystery beginning with the Joyful Mysteries where for the Annunciation/Incarnation, Visitation, Nativity of Our Lord, Presentation, and Finding Jesus in the temple, there are special short prayers he has penned that are not only inspiring but keep us focused on each mystery so that when distracted, we immediately are able to get back on point. Thus St. Louis shows us how to offer each decade as he offers a Fifthy-First Rose for the Joyful Mysteries

Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque was born at Verosvres in the diocese of Autun on July 22, 1647. When only three years old she already had the greatest fear of the smallest sin. Indeed, the very word "sin" frightened her exceedingly. And before she was quite four years of age, without anyone suggesting them to her, she clearly pronounced the words, "O my God, I consecrate my purity to Thee, for my whole life: I vow to Thee perpetual chastity." Even as a mere tot she loved Jesus and Mary above all things; and as soon as she had learned to say the rosary, she recited it every day. Her parents Claude Alacoque and Philiberte Lamyn, were distinguished less for temporal possessions than for their virtue, which gave them an honourable position. From early childhood Margaret showed intense love for the Blessed Sacrament, and preferred silence and prayer to childish amusements. After her first communion at the age of nine, she practised in secret severe corporal mortifications, until paralysis confined her to bed for four years. At the end of this period, having made a vow to the Blessed Virgin to consecrate herself to religious life, she was instantly restored to perfect health. The death of her father and the injustice of a relative plunged the family into poverty and humiliation, after which more than ever Margaret found consolation in the Blessed Sacrament, and Christ made her sensible of His presence and protection. He usually appeared to her as the Crucified or the Ecce Homo, and this did not surprise her, as she thought others had the same Divine assistance. Some time after she had made her First Holy Communion, God sent her a grievous sickness that lasted four years. Then Margaret had recourse to Our Lady. She promised that if that dear Mother would cure her she would become a Sister. Scarcely had she uttered the words, when she was cured. When Margaret was seventeen, the family property was recovered, and her mother besought her to establish herself in the world. ...More
Over three centuries ago Jesus chose a devout nun to provide us with a divine promise if we follow devotions to His Most Sacred Heart. He explained to her the parameters of the Twelve Promises of the Sacred Heart and instructed her on how to pray during Holy Hour. In these dire times we live in today, it is more important than ever to protect souls and that begins at home as Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque reinforced via the Promises and what has followed in devotion to Our Lord's Most Sacred Heart. We need to fear any sin as St. Margaret Mary did and shun all occasions. Spending time in prayer and meditation with Christ is the best remedy for that and having our homes enthroned to the Sacred Heart by a true priest is a safeguard in keeping the devil at bay. Yet we must always be on our guard against the evil one who is so clever and, thankfully through the devotions given to us from Heaven as guideposts through the landmines in this fleeting temporal life. If we really cherish eternal happiness, we will do all we can to protect ourselves and our family from the wicknedness and snares of the devil. We have that opportunity through the Promises of the Sacred Heart explained by Fr. Joseph McDonnell, S.J. on the meaning, and Consecration and Enthronement of our Homes Also we encourage you to read inspiration for this special day by Dr. Thomas A. Droleskey on Suffering For the Love of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Continuing with the Revelations and Prophesies imparted to St. Bridget of Sweden with Book One we see today the words of Christ to His bride about the parable of the poor man who dealt with a wizard for gold. He put the gold away in a chest, but it turned out it was a frog that leapt to the wizard's chest which, as it turns out, was really the devil. Jesus deliberates on how man is so greedy for the gold that he ignores the warnings God has provided and goes against all that Jesus suffered and died for as we see in Chapter Twenty-One Beware of the devil's chest During this month of the Most Holy Rosary we continue to bring you John Gregory's envisaging meditation on each Mystery to enhance our own praying of Mary's holy Psalter each day. John provides a comprehensive reflection/meditation and study on the Agony in the Garden. Thus at the Mount of Olivet we begin, with our Lord, the grueling trek to Calvary. There in the Garden He was alone for even His Apostles could not watch one hour with Him. How lonely it must have been, how harrowing the agony to see our sins and transgressions. How can we ease His suffering? By resolving not to place ourselves in the occasions of sin; by being part of the hope and light that sustained Him and encouraged Him to continue His course for He was a man, like us in every way, save for sin. Why, oh, why do we persist in offending the Son of God? And yet, while we still expect God to do so much for us, are we willing to spend even an hour a day with Him and for Him? See The First Sorrowful Mystery St. Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort continues to illustrate how we can offer up each decade by recalling each mystery as we now encounter the Sorrowful Mysteries, said each Tuesday, Friday and during Lent where we recall Our Lord's sacred Passion and Death with the Agony in the Garden, the Scourging at the pillar, the Crowning with thorns, the Carrying of the Cross, and the Crucifixion and Death of Jesus. Since the Rosary is so repititious, this editor has purposely made it a purpose not to memorize these prayers of St. Louis. That way I must pick up the booklet or a print out of these prayers which automatically brings me back if I had been distracted. It's a method that works for me, it may not for others. It's up to each individual, but by all means pray the way St. Louis advises as he offers a Fifty-Second Rose for the Sorrowful Mysteries

We encourage you to learn more about the Traditional Latin Mass - the true Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in these videos at this link because each time you worthily assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in person, you gain graces that are placed in a "golden chalice", so to speak, and is offered to God to be weighed in substance when you stand before Him at your Particular Judgment. The more you have filled this chalice, the better will it go for your spiritual welfare in eternity, enhanced by your cooperation with grace.

When One Cannot physically assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass we provide additional prayers that can be supplemented with the ORDINARY OF THE HOLY MASS and the PROPER OF THE DAY to enable you to better prepare yourself at home. Of course, this never replaces actually being there, but it is much better than attending the Novus Ordo services. Therefore we have gleaned from The Key of Heaven prayers to say at home. It is very comforting to know that the Holy Mass is offered for us even when we are not actually present. But to enjoy the benefits which it procures, we must by a SPIRITUAL COMMUNION become partakers of the altar from which we are temporarily banished. Here we provide prayers in preparation for fulfilling assistance in absentia in addition to the ORDINARY OF THE HOLY MASS and PROPER OF THE DAY. PRAYERS IN ABSENTIA
Behold, O kind and most sweet Jesus, I cast myself upon my knees in Thy sight, and with the most fervent desire of my soul I pray and beseech Thee that Thou wouldst fix deep within my heart lively sentiments of Faith, Hope and Charity, with true repentance for my sins, and a firm purpose of amendment, whilst with deep affection and grief of soul I ponder within myself and mentally contemplate Thy five most precious Wounds; having before my eyes the words which David in prophesy spoke concerning Thee, O Good Jesus: "They have pierced My hands and My feet; they have numbered all My bones."
O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I adore Thee profoundly. I offer Thee the most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in tabernacles throughout the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in unison with the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg the conversion of poor sinners. O Most Holy Trinity, I adore Thee! My God, my God, I love Thee in the Most Blessed Sacrament! O my Jesus, it is for love of Thee, in reparation for the offenses committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary and for the conversion of poor sinners.

The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary. And she conceived of the Holy Ghost.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Behold the handmaid of the Lord. Be it done unto me according to Thy word.
And the Word was made flesh. And dwelt among us.
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Angelus Domini nuntiavit Mariae. Et concepit de Spiritu Sancto.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.
Ecce ancilla Domini. Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum.
Et Verbum caro factum est. Et habitavit in nobis.
Ora pro nobis, sancta Dei Genitrix. Ut digni efficiamur promissionibus Christi.
To thee, O blessed Joseph, we have recourse in our affliction, and having implored the help of thy thrice holy Spouse, we now, with hearts filled with confidence, earnestly beg thee also to take us under thy protection. By that charity wherewith thou wert united to the Immaculate Virgin Mother of God, and by that fatherly love with which thou didst cherish the Child Jesus, we beseech thee and we humbly pray that thou wilt look down with gracious eye upon that inheritance which Jesus Christ purchased by His blood, and wilt succor us in our need by thy power and strength. Defend, O most watchful guardian of the Holy Family, the chosen off-spring of Jesus Christ. Keep from us, O most loving Father, all blight of error and corruption. Aid us from on high, most valiant defender, in this conflict with the powers of darkness. And even as of old thou didst rescue the Child Jesus from the peril of His life, so now defend God's Holy Church from the snares of the enemy and from all adversity. Shield us ever under thy patronage, that, following thine example and strengthened by thy help, we may live a holy life, die a happy death, and attain to everlasting bliss in Heaven. Amen. This Prayer to the Patron of the Universal Church was prescribed by His Holiness Pope Leo XIII to be recited after the daily Rosary during October, month of the Holy Rosary.
