The Cornerstone #18 - Original Sin or Not, The Incarnation was Divinely Decreed from All Eternity >>> Play |
|
|
|
Ave Maria!
John Duns Scotus helps us to understand the predestination of Christ to be incarnate as a free gift of love from God who is Love. Fr. Maximilian explains how the Incarnation is the one gift in all of God’s creation that is not dependent on anyone’s merit - all the rest (that is, all other gifts) are.
Come listen to Fr. Maximilian and discover how the primary motive of the Incarnation is not man’s redemption, but rather love - God’s love.
Ave Maria!

Ave Maria!
Dr Mark Miravalle explains the meaning of the wedding at Cana in Scripture, and how Our Lady glorified her Son by telling the servants to obey his command. This shows how Mary’s role as mediatrix of graces does not take away from the glory of Christ, but rather magnifies it.

Well, the motu proprio Summorum Pontificum is out, and the €œspirits (poltergeists) of Vatican II
‘? are agitated. Watch out for flying liturgical pottery and levitating felt banners.
We would expect to have all the well-worn clichés about how the Pope wants to turn back the clock dragged out of the modernist arsenal. Of course, the National Catholic Reporter has not disappointed us.
In her July 10 column, From Where I Stand, Sister Joan Chittister, deigns to enlighten us about how the poor Holy Father has blundered again. And, of course, she has the appropriate credentials to do so, having gained notoriety over the years for her support of abortion rights, the ordination of women to the priesthood, and her general defiance of the Vatican. (more…)

Homilies #118 - Thursday Homily (7min)>>> Play |
|
| |
|
Ave Maria!
Today’s Gospel focuses on the mystery of relating to God.
What is the key to the mystery of the kingdom of God? Humility. We find our rest in humble submission to God and to His Church. Are rebellious children ever truly at peace? Children who revolt against God often bare the mark of Cain as restless wanderers on earth, whereas the meek and humble who love Christ are at peace with heaven and, in spite of crosses, even with this tumultous earth. He makes it possible for us to do everything out of love.
Let us listen now to this instructional and inspiring homily by Fr. Angelo.
Ave Maria!
