Aristotle’s Idea of a Flourishing Life One of my new favorite websites is The Art of Manliness. Now women, please don’t think that this post is just for men. This website promotes skill and values closely linked to the traditional concept of “manliness” but many of their articles (except maybe those on style) apply to […]

The pastor of my parish asked me to give a talk about the Rosary on the celebration of Our Lady of the Rosary on Oct. 7, 2022. I focused on Mary’s promised benefits to those who pray the Rosary that she gave to Saint Dominic in a private revelation. It’s a relatively short video with

Happy feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary! I’m going to keep this short and sweet. Humbly pray the Rosary without reservation. He will bless you in so many different ways. Today we celebrate the many victories in our lives. We celebrate a historical victory on this day, but we also celebrate God’s victory

I have obtained from my Divine Son that all the advocates of the Rosary shall have for intercessors the entire Celestial Court during their life and at the hour of death. Imagine that a little 9 year old child walked up and asked you to teach him some basic mathematics. You excitedly run to the bookshelf

All those who propagate the Holy Rosary shall be aided by me in their necessities. Remember when I said in my previous post about Mary’s rosary promises seeming like a spiritual infomercial?
