I am spending this day listening to Gregorian Chant, in a spirit of mourning for the unborn and for all those murdered and harmed by the mRNA shots.
October...
pray the rosary for life!
Today is the feast of Saint Therese of Lisieux. Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, pray for us!
“In the heart of the Church, my Mother, I will be love.”
Saint Therese, the “Little Flower”
Stay tuned for more on Catholic October!

2 days after the Presidential Inauguration in the United States, let us remind ourselves of the Scripture below. Do not put your trust in man. There will be peace and justice only insofar as we live the life of sacramental grace, which we receive through our Holy Mother Church, instituted by Christ. We pray for this new Administration and for all of its members to grow toward holiness and the Kingdom of Heaven.
“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.”
John 14:6
We have but one Savior!
(Beware Trump Messianic Syndrome, the opposite of Trump Derangement Syndrome.)
We pray for Los Angeles, for those who have perished in these fires and for those who remain in difficult situations. May the fires soon be extinguished. O Lord, have mercy. Blessed Virgin, pray for us. Saint Joseph, pray for us. All ye heavenly host, pray for us all at this hour.
We also pray for the March for Life, which takes place this Friday in Washington DC. May respect for life from conception to natural death once again reign in our great nation. According to the US bishops, we observe a recommended day of penance today, the anniversary of Roe versus Wade, which joyfully has been overturned….but we never forget the unborn and vulnerable in our midst.
We Don't Usually Do This...

October is the Month of Our Lady of the Rosary & Respect for Life
October joyfully celebrates Our Lady of the Rosary, whose feast is on the 7th and encourages devotion to this great gift, given through Saint Dominic. It is especially consoling to pray the Holy Rosary during difficult times. It may be a chore to pick up those beads and get it started, but you will never regret it. Spiritual effort always comes back to you in blessings 100-fold! October also, sorrowfully remembers the unborn and all those in our society whose lives are considered of less value, such as the handicapped and elderly. Death will not remain in confinement. It will continue to take more and more human territory until no one is safe. This obvious fact mysteriously eludes so many. We all must fight this fight. The innocent and vulnerable need us. Judgement is now upon us and has been a long time coming.
+++ Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. Lord have mercy. +++
The feast of the Annunciation is exactly 9 months before Christmas Day, March 25th. On October 11th, we commemorate the Divine Maternity, as the Mother of God enters the final stages of carrying Our Lord in her womb. How appropriate it is to remember pro-life intentions this month.
We continue to meditate here, upon the “Marian Triad of the Months.” We have contemplated her most loving heart, her great sorrows and now her glory as Our Lady of the Rosary, which streams from her Immaculate Heart and is the antidote to our own sorrows. Let us consider this Mariology and pray on it during the coming month, as many polycrises are heating up in the world and the future is quite uncertain. Let us flee to Mary for consolation and guidance in examining our consciences well, so we may obtain mercy and not wrath, for ourselves, Holy Mother Church and the world.
On the last Sunday of October, we honor the King of Kings, Christ the King, in the traditional calendar. We then enter into the “Triduum of Death,” to contemplate our mortality, roughly 4 weeks before a new Church year and our meditation upon the Incarnation!

In the last of the Marian Triad of the Months, we honor Mary under the title Our Lady of the Rosary…so important is this great devotion! Through Our Lady of Fatima, we know the Holy Rosary is the antidote to these unprecedented times of evil. One of the worst of these evils is the sin of abortion and all of the offenses against human life which are becoming more prevalent in a post-Christendom world. One of Our Lady’s requests at Fatima was the recitation of the Rosary daily. She saw what was coming upon the world and this great meditative prayer was given to us to obtain mercy and mitigate these evils. Let us pray the Holy Rosary for the sanctity of life this month and encourage others to do so as well.
Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!
O Lord have mercy upon the world for its crimes against Thee and humanity!
Most Holy Trinity, deliver us!
RFK Jr. & Abortion
RFK Jr., the son of Bobby Kennedy, who was killed in Los Angeles, 1968, is campaigning for President of the United States on the Democratic ticket. The Washington Post claims he already enjoys 20% of this party’s support. He is also attracting many on the “right,” due to his centrist leanings and promise to secure our freedoms, in post-Covid America. He has straddled the fence on abortion in the past, but has now fallen decidedly against the unborn. Have a look at these 2 articles…
Robert F Kennedy Jr. Supports Abortion
The Hole in the Heart of RFK Jr.’s Extraordinary Book
Sadly, RFK Jr. is a Catholic who purportedly attends Mass daily and even wrote a children’s book on his patron saint, Francis of Assisi, in 2005. Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. would do well to contemplate the words of Holy Scripture, perhaps speaking of these very times…
“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold, nor hot. I would thou wert cold, or hot. But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, nor hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth.”
Apocalypse 3:15
Still Marchin!
Even though Roe vs. Wade has been overturned, the March goes on this year, Friday the 20th….
