As mentioned earlier, we can't fathom what has happened to our beloved Church, now in eclipse for the past half a century, but we also know how it will end and we can see the end in sight for the inerrant scriptures tell us this false church is the "church of Babylon" in St. John's Book of the Apocalypse in chapters 17 and 18, not to mention St. Paul's words in 2 Thessalonians 2: 3-11 where God would allow man to "believe a lie" which is what He is doing in testing man's faith. So far the vast majority have flunked miserably and they weren't even using Common Core! Those who have buried their heads in the sand and ignore what is going on in Christ's holy Church, well they have Apocalypse 3: 15-16 to warn them if they continue to remain lukewarm. A few reliable sources who are definitely not lukewarm are the following sites we highly recommend to keep abreast of events as fast as they are spinning out of control along with the causes and consequences. This is especially important right now in the aftermath of the horrific secular 'encyclical' on global warming. What so many forget is what is happening today is NOT global warming, but rather a global WARNING from God. Thus we confidently point you to NovusOrdoWatch.org and Christorchaos.com for articles and links, as well as these blogs worth your while, Introibo Ad Altare Dei, Fr. Anthony Cekada's Quidlibet, Bishop Donald Sanborn's In Veritate, and the satirical, but on-point Call Me Jorge. We also point you to Traditio which, although the Father Moderators will not admit the term "sedevacantism", 95% of what they provide reinforces this position. Note, we provide here those sites that carry almost daily coverage and in no way demean other sites that update more infreqently. For those sites, please see Traditional Catholic Resource Port.
What is going on today is a far cry from the message of the Gospel for the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost where Jesus implores His apostles to be "fishers of men." That charge was not just to twelve men but to every living Catholic and the true hierarchy throughout all time to be part of the Barque of Peter. Naturally, by their inaction and antithesis against conversion, those in the CONciLIAR church long ago abdicated any authority from Heaven, and have castaway into the deep without a compass or rudder. Peter is nowhere near them nor is the Holy Ghost. They are left to their own devices to navigate and we can only pray they find their way back to the true ship. However, from their actions, it's time for Catholics programmed in the Modernist counterfeit church of CONciLIARism to bale and swim as fast as they can back to the salvific ark that is the true Roman Catholic Church. Anyone doubting that needs to read last week's commentary on the Lost Sheep.
Thankfully, there is a way for the lost sheep to find help and that is by entreating Heaven and the greatest ambassador there is to Christ, His Immaculate Mother Mary. This entire week we continue our Novena of the beautiful, meaningful Devotions to Our Mother of Perpetual Help in preparation for Our Lady's Feast this coming Saturday when we also begin the first of 15 Saturdays Rosary Crusade established several years ago by His Excellency Bishop Robert McKenna, O.P. Outside of Jesus Himself, there is no better guide to seek help and consolation than His holy Mother. The miraculous icon with it's symbolic art resides in the church of San Alfonzo in Rome. Turn to Our Lady who asks that, as members of the Church Militant, we do all we can to help the lost sheep. All she asks is that we try. She will do the rest! St. John the Baptist, whose first-class nativity we celebrate on Wednesday, lept in the womb of his mother Elizabeth at the visitation of Mary for even as a fetus he realized his mother's cousin was the tabernacle of the Son of God. Because of that, John was born without original sin on his soul, and therefore, authorized to baptize. Those baptized, until Christ descended into Limbo after His crucifixion, escaped the Bosom of Abraham and, if still in the state of grace, most likely entered the heavenly realm at the early stage when Heaven was basically empty of saints, save for the angels.
In respect to asking for help. We have no other choice. A paragraph before we were noting the nautical theme. As you know, this long-running publication has always used that analogy for this publication in inviting all to "set sail with DailyCatholic.org" We can confidently say, without a shadow of a doubt for all the years we've been publishing on-line, that we've never steered one soul wrong in all we've published. For our content has been in 100% accord with the infallible, perennial Magisterium of the Church firmly aboard the true Barque of Peter. Speaking of vessels, over the last year we've been taking on water even in a drought year, no less, due to a bilge of bills. To stay afloat we need to turn to you our readers. It has been over a year since this editor made a plea for funds. Prior to that my beloved late bride Cyndi would write a heartfelt plea and benefactors would respond generously. With her gone, I'm not too good at asking for money, but purveyors need to be paid so necessity is the mother of invention and I have to ask. Speaking of mothers and Cyndi, it was Henry Ward Beecher who said "The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother." I can confidently say before God I loved their mother dearly and dearly hope that what we imparted as parents will sustain them in this chaotic world where the secular demons of the world, the flesh and the devil have eclipsed Christ's holy Church, chasing the faithful remnant into the catacombs of sedevacantist churches and chapels. That is where we are today, isolated, if you will, from the vast majority because of our belief in the true Faith. But belief alone, as strong as it is, isn't, unfortunantely, strong enough to move mountains or meet expenditures that continue to increase as the economy teeters. Therefore, I need to raise $5,000.00 for this apostolate to continue as it has been. I set that amount for we have always budgeted $25,000. a year in donations and to date since January the total is $7,000. and we're almost half-way through the year. Hopefully you can more readily see the deficit and why the DailyCatholic's plight is nearing a crisis point. I would hope and pray you will see in your heart the compassion to help and we remind you with the graphic below, repeated each day. We remind you we are a bonafide 501c3 non-profit so any and all contributions are tax-deductible. I also remind you that this editor does not take one penny in salary. It remains a labor of love. 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.
John Gregory provides the commentary for the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost which offiially begins the "Green" season in reference to the vestments throughout the Time after Pentecost. Father George Leo Haydock became famous for compiling the Fathers' and Doctors' discernment and incorporating it into the Douay-Rheims version of the New Testament. For this Sunday the theme is that we will groan in and struggle in pain within ourselves while waiting for redemption as St. Paul relates in today's Epistle and in the Gospel those creatures swimming in the sea of fallen human nature in this world can only be rescued through the grace of God via those whom He has sent to reel in souls as fishers of men. Fishers of Souls Thanks to Traditional Catholic Sermons we are able to bring you a nearly 16-minute sermon given four years ago by Father Benedict Hughes, CMRI, Rector of St. Joseph Seminary at the City of Mary in Rathdrum, Idaho. Father points out how Jesus, pressed by the crowds got into a boat - Peter's boat - the Barque of Peter. Father explains what true Roman Catholics must believe and follow in aligning with the true Popes down throught the ages. We must reject all new religions including the false CONciLIAR church posing as Catholic. All other religions/churches are man-made and falls into error because they have not the protection of God. Father notes that we have no right to listen or accept error. We must be on guard that we do not jeopardize our faith and morals by turning to the world for truth. It is not there. We must remain united to Peter and by doing so, we are united to Christ, Who proved to Peter and all others that you don't doubt the Son of God for with Him all things are possible; without him our pride shipwrecks us. We will stay afloat only by The Grace of God We continue the Novena of Devotions to Our Mother of Perpetual Help begun this past Friday in anticipation of Our Lady's feast the end of this week. In many traditional parishes it is said each Tuesday of the week. This devotion, attributed to the miraculous events of the famous icon of Our Lady and Christ Child from the 14th Century on that was preserved despite the doubts of its miraculous nature by those charged with taking care of it. It wasn't until 1866 that Pope Pius IX solemnly enshrined it in the church of San Alfonso (St. Alphonsus Liguori) between the Basilicas of the Lateran and St. Mary Major in Rome as Our Lady had originally requested. The icon is unique for it's symbolism as you can see with Understanding the Icon's symbols. For the beautiful devotion see Devotion to Our Mother of Perpetual Help

While the theological virtues focus on God, the moral virtues focus on man's role in God's plan. The foundation of this are the Four Cardinal Virtues on which are built the other moral virtues. Sadly, today those moral virtues are sorely lacking as society has unabashedly accepted immorality. Once satan infiltrated the Church and took down the safeguards, it was easy for the devil to manipulate man into accepting whatever agenda he wanted to foist down our soulful throats from planting a false church to ape the True Church to poisoning generations with "anything goes". That included every sin of the flesh possible, something Our Lady warned against at Fatima. Today immorality rules the roost for evil is considered politically correct and virtue is looked upon as intolerance. Hate speech is anything that would hinder one from sinning. Lost is the foundation for treating one another in the image and likeness of God. In order to conquer vice we must uphold the virtues for only the virtuous will possess the kingdom of God as we can see in step 12, The Cardinal Rule.

It does no good to blame Adam and Eve because that's past history and the one we can really thank is the Second Adam - Jesus Christ for it is through His merits by His death and resurrection that we gain the opportunity for everlasting life as the Catechism has always taught n why we strive to stay in the state of grace received first at baptism to rid our souls of Original Sin. However, contrary to Protestant thinking, everything we do following baptism we are responsible for and must answer to God for, due to man's penchant for bad, we are not perfect and must work hard to avoid actual and venial sins and be sure we never commit a mortal sin. The latter will be covered next week, but for this week we focus on Original and Actual sins for, by God's design of free will we are grist for the world, the flesh and the devil unless we remember why we were baptized and obey God in all things great and small, because the small sins, though venial, still greatly offend the One Who gave us life. In step thirteen of this series we deal with the why of Man's Fallen Human Nature
The Precursor of Christ was filled with the Holy Ghost even from his mother's womb. After an austere life as a hermit, he announced the Advent of Christ, preached penitence, and baptized in the Jordan. He was beheaded during the reign of Herod. The day of the death of other saints is kept as their feast, and in the case of St. John the Baptist the day of his birth is celebrated, as having taken place amidst the outpouring of the gifts of the Paraclete. The feast is is celebrated with great liturgical splendor, the stational Mass was celebrated In the Basilica of the Saviour. The grandeur of early devotion to the Baptist need cause no one to wonder, if we realize the eminent position which St. John holds In the history of the Incarnation. His seal of canonization is seen in the eulogy addressed to him by the Word ...More The path to perdition is wide and paved with good intentions. If one were to realize how ugly sin is, they'd never sin. However, the devil is crafty and devious and so he seeks to twist everything, trying to portray sin as allowable and something that is no big deal. Did he not try the same in the Garden of Eden? Why would he change strategy since? Sadly, in these very times when the Great Apostasy is so prevalent, lucifer has been able to make so many things sacrilegious and blasphemous today amidst an apathetic society that fails to take heed of God's Laws and the consequences of sin. Because of that the vast majority have disregarded St. Paul's stern warning in 2 Thessalonians 2: 10 and bought into the "operation of error" and "consented to iniquity." They have rationalized their consciences into thinking God is an all-loving while totally missing the point that the Omniscient One is also equally all-just and He will judge each and every soul both in our particular judgment and the final judgment. As most go about their lives stubbornly clinging to their own wills and rejecting God's will, they're oblivious to the fact that one can never enter Heaven in the state of mortal sin. Without putting on the armor of God and being in the state of sanctifying grace, we are puddy in the devil's hands and dead meat. Literally! In step fourteen of this series we treat Mortal Sin and the Occasions of this deadly sin and something we must avoid or else it will be the Sure-fire Way to Hell Thanks to Traditional Catholic Sermons we are able to bring you a twenty-three-minute sermon given three years ago on the feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist by Father Kevin Vaillancourt, pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe Traditional Catholic parish in Spokane, Washington. Father reminds us how important this feast is since only three nativities are celebrated, Our Lord's on Christmas, Mary's on September 8 and St. John the Baptist today for he, like us was conceived in sin, but was born without Original Sin as the Gospel of Luke tells us for he lept in his mother Elizabeth's womb and was the first to be baptized in the womb, if you will, for God had great plans for this holy man. The Baptist is mentioned several times throughout the Mass for he has "an integral part in everything regarding the mysteries of our redemption" because his mission from God was to Prepare A Perfect People Saint William was born of noble parents in the year 1085 in Vercelli, Italy. But as an infant he was orphaned and raised by relatives. At 14 years old, he made a pilgrimage to Compostela, in Galicia Spain, a pilgrimage he made barefoot. He was at Mefi in 1106 and spent two years as a hermit on Monte Solicoli. After abandoning a pilgrimage to Jerusalem when he was attacked by robbers, he decided to become a hermit on Monte Virgiliano (Vergine). One source notes that, shortly after his decision, he healed a blind man, a miracle that brought him instant notoriety. Because of his humility, he did not want to accept the people's praise and admiration so he decided that he would he would live as a hermit on this high mountain. Even there, however, people gathered around him and so he decided to organize them into a community and build a monastery dedicated to ...More The devil is great at scrabbling the path to Heaven with the roadblocks of anger, sloth, pride, lust, envy, greed and gluttony. They are called the Seven Deadly Sins or Capital Sins and not to capitalize on the corresponding virtues that stave off temptation to these sins is a sure way to lose the game of life, with the penalty being everlasting perdition. Because satan is so crafty and knows it would not be alluring if he showed sin for all its ugliness, he dresses it up to look inviting. Man in his fallen human nature is the perfect foil for the fallen angel who is the master of deceit. If we are not aware of the consequences we can easily be lured away, confused, even bewitched and bewildered. Those seven sins are the chief reason hell is so populated today. Do you really want to help the prince of darkness add to the numbers or do you want to love your fellow man enough to want salvation for him and do all in your power to know the Faith in order to keep the Faith and share that Faith with others by letting them know, as laid out in Step Fifteen, the Seven Ways to Lose One's Soul Thanks to Traditional Catholic Sermons we are able to bring you a seven-minute sermon given five years ago by Bishop Daniel Dolan, pastor of St. Gertrude the Great in Cincinnati, Ohio.

He converted kings and scaled mountains to establish the Benedictine Monastery of Monte Virgine in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary near where the Latin writer Virgil wrote the Illiad and the Odyssey. The Bishop reminds us that we never know how divine Providence will work if we are open to God's holy will just as did St. William the Abbot Saints John and Paul were Roman soldiers who were Christians as well. They were martyred at Rome on 26 June. The year of their martyrdom is uncertain according to their Acts, it occurred under Julian the Apostate (361-3). In the second half of the fourth century, Byzantius, the Roman senator, and Pammachius, his son, fashioned their house on the ...More Over the last few steps we've been dealing with how the devil is so devious, and in step sixteen we treat the origins of these spirits who all started out as good angels, bestowed by their Creator with anything anyone would ever want. Yet, pride played a role in lucifer's revolt and the rest, as they say, is history. It is the oldest story in the world, yay, even before the world, and it makes one's decision in life very simple. It's either obey God and His Laws, which include adhering to the truths and traditions handed down by Christ and His Apostles through the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church He established on earth, or face the consequences of those who choose to go it their own way, a way that leads straight to the gates of hell. It is either enjoying the company of the angels in Heaven forever and ever - per omnia saecula saeculorum - or realizing one must abandon all hope, all ye who enter here (hell) - omnes relinquite spes, o vos intrantes. Hell is so very, very final and Christ shows us how to avoid the lasting agony of eternal damnation, but only if we are willing to obey His holy Will. It's our choice in choosing sides as we see in Step Sixteen, Good and Evil Spirits Today is the Traditional Feast of Our Mother of Perpetual Help which can be said in place of the Feria Mass provided a commemoration of the previous Sunday's Collect, Secret and Postcommunion are said. In the thirteenth century, a beautiful picture of Our Lady holding the Child Jesus, with the Archangels Michael and Gabriel on either side of her, was painted in the East. In the fifteenth century, this picture was brought from the Island of Crete and was taken to Rome. It was placed in the Church of Saint Matthew in Rome. There, for three hundred years, pilgrims came to reverence and pray before this holy picture, because everyone loved its simplicity, its beauty and its truth. After the French Revolution, when the vicious Napoleon desecrated thirty Catholic Churches in Rome, this precious picture of Our Lady of Perpetual Help was hidden away, but it was rediscovered in 1862. It was then placed in the Church of Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, founder of the Redemptorist Order, in Rome, where it is now kept. The purpose of this lovely picture is by way of simple and innocent symbol to teach us that Our Lady is our help in all things, and our help at all times. Many Catholic churches in all countries are called by the name, Our Mother of Perpetual Help. See today's Mass Gaudeamus omnes Today is the feast of Our Mother of Perpetual Help as we conclude the Novena of Devotions to her under that title.

This inspiring and fruitful endeavor was first begun several years ago by His Excellency Bishop Robert McKenna, O.P., on the feast of the holy Apostles Saints Peter and Paul since our prayer is to preserve the Petrine Primacy which has been usurped since October 9, 1958. Much more has been usurped since then as is laid out in this crusade that is so crucial to the salvation of souls. We have available to us the most powerful weapon Heaven could afford us, one that all can use and yet so few use it. That's like sending an army to the front lines with high-powered rifles and other artillery, but not loading the ammo. Doesn't make sense. Neither does holstering our Rosaries when we could be firing intercessory bullets to Heaven to save souls. If we don't do it, who will? We may feel like Peter and want to flee our responsibility, or like Paul who had to be knocked from his horse before he saw the light. What will it take for this hard-hearted generation? It's time to rouse the troops and lock and load. Thus today we begin this annual Crusade with the intention of a profound humility, unlike the false humility a certain proponent of Liberation Theology exhibits while he further destroys whatever semblance of Catholicity is left. See First Saturday of the Fifteen Saturday Rosary Crusade We join all our readers in once again extending our annual heartfelt congratulations to some special CMRI nuns for whom today is very special.

We may feel like Peter and want to flee our responsibility, or like Paul who had to be knocked from his horse before he saw the light. What will it take for this hard-hearted generation? It's time to rouse the troops and lock and load. Thus today we begin this annual Crusade with the intention of a profound humility, unlike the false humility a certain proponent of Liberation Theology exhibits while he further destroys whatever semblance of Catholicity is left. See First Saturday of the Fifteen Saturday Rosary Crusade We join all our readers in once again extending our annual heartfelt congratulations to some special CMRI nuns for whom today is very special. His Excellency Bishop Mark Pivarunas, CMRI is celebrating an 8 a.m. Pontifical High Mass where Sister Madeleine Marie will take her Final Profession of Vows with Sister Mary Cabrini taking her Triennial Vows while professing their First Year Vows are Sr. Mary Teresita and Sister Mary Angela. Miss Sunmee Wee, formerly a parishioner of Our Lady of Fatima parish in San Diego, has given up her career to enter the Novitiate at the Mother House of Mt. St. Michael's in Spokane, Washington. For more, see CMRI
Today we begin the Fifteen Saturday's Rosary Crusade leading up to the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary in October. This inspiring and fruitful endeavor was first begun several years ago by His Excellency Bishop Robert McKenna, O.P., on the feast of the holy Apostles Saints Peter and Paul since our prayer is to preserve the Petrine Primacy which has been usurped since October 9, 1958. Much more has been usurped since then as is laid out in this crusade that is so crucial to the salvation of souls. We have available to us the most powerful weapon Heaven could afford us, one that all can use and yet so few use it. That's like sending an army to the front lines with high-powered rifles and other artillery, but not loading the ammo. Doesn't make sense. Neither does holstering our Rosaries when we could be firing intercessory bullets to Heaven to save souls. If we don't do it, who will?

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.

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.
