Take away the supernatural, and what remains is the unnatural. – G. K. Chesterton

An Age Prospers Or Dwindles In Proportion To Its Devotion To The Holy Eucharist

Let us never forget that an age prospers or dwindles in proportion to its devotion to the Holy Eucharist. This is the measure of its spiritual life and its faith, of its charity and its virtue. – Saint Peter Julian Eymard

The Call To Martydom Of Witness Is Ever More Urgent

Given the breakdown in family life, the wholesale attack on innocent and defenseless human lives, and the violation of the integrity of the union of marriage in our society, the call to the martyrdom of witness is ever more urgent. - Cardinal Burke

True Happiness Does Not Consist In The Pleasures of The World

With all the strength of my soul I urge you young people to approach the Communion table as often as you can. Feed on this bread of angels from which you will draw the strength to fight inner battles...Because true happiness, dear friends, does not consist in the pleasures of the world or in earthly things, but in peace of conscience which we can have only if we are pure in heart and in mind. - Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati

Holy Communion Assures Me That I Will Win The Victory

Every morning during meditation, I prepare myself for the whole day's struggle. Holy Communion assures me that I will win the victory; and so it is. I fear the day when I do not receive Holy Communion. - Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska

The Soul That is United With God is Feared by The Devil

Protect Yourselves by Prayer, Fasting, And, Above All, Community Prayer

Mirjana, one of the visionaries of Medjugorje, had a particular vision on 14th April 1982. While she was waiting for Our Lady to appear, Satan arrived disguised as Our Lady. She writes

"He was ugly, horribly ugly. You cannot even imagine how ugly, he almost killed me with his gaze, I almost fainted. He then told me,'You must leave God and Our Lady because they will make you suffer, come with me and I will make you happy in love and life.' My heart echoed -No, no, no! Then Satan went away and Our Lady came and she said to me:

"I am sorry for this, but you must know that Satan exists and has asked God to allow him to test the Church for a certain period with the intention of destroying Her. God allowed him to have one century, saying ,'You will not destroy Her.'

This century in which we are living is under Satan's power. When the secrets I have confided to you come about, his power will be destroyed. Satan has become aggresive because he is losing his power. He is breaking up marriages, causing quarrels amongst priests, obsessing people, even killing them.

Therefore, protect yourselves by prayer, fasting and, above all, community prayer. Renew the use of holy water, wear blessed and holy objects and put them in your homes."

Holy Purity is a Jewel So Precious That Those Who Possess it Become Like Angels of God

The World Promises You Comfort, But You Were Not Made For Comfort

‎The world promises you comfort, but you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness. - Pope Benedict XVI

Fighting For Him Against Riches, Against The World, Hell, And Himself

What, then does God look upon with pleasure and delight? What is He asking the Angels about, and even the devils? It is about the man who is fighting for Him against riches, against the world, hell, and himself, the man who is cheerfully carrying his cross. - Saint Louis-Marie De Montfort

He Who Accepts Evil Without Protesting is Cooperating With it

He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it. - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Lust Would Like us to Believe That it Can Make us Happy

Sexual activity is fuelled by an unfulfilled desire for true love. In the words of Josh Harris, “Lust would like us to believe that it can make us happy. If we just give it what it wants, it will stop pestering us and be satisfied. Lust is never satisfied, you can’t bargain with it and come out a winner. Lust hijacks sex. It wants to train your desires to delight in the thrill of the forbidden so that you lose your Godly appetite for what is good.” Close physical involvement is not equivalent to true affection. - Love Undefiled

All of Heaven is Counting on us

All of Heaven is counting on us to take a stand for God. - Michael Fanelli

Cast Off The Works of Darkness And Put on The Armor of Light

And that, knowing the season, that it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed. The night is passed and the day is at hand. Let us, therefore cast off the works of darkness and put on the armour of light. - Romans 13: 11, 12

Our Lady is Trying to Gather the Troops

It is not by accident that we have faith. It is not by accident that we love to be with our Eucharistic Lord. God has given us so many graces in forming us. God wants to raise up an army that will transform this world and Our Lady is trying to gather the troops.
