Please spare a Pater and an Ave for all who will be receiving our Lord in First Communion for the first time this Pascal Season and for all who will be shortly confirmed at or around Pentecost
In today’s episode I discuss Predestination and Free Will. What is the actual understanding of this? Is Predestination taught in Catholicism and if so, how is it radically different from protestant, Calvinist views?

"Among the seven sacraments instituted by Our Lord, Confirmation stands as the sacrament of Christian maturity and strength. It completes Baptismal grace, seals the soul with the indelible mark of a soldier of Christ, and imparts the Holy Ghost with His sevenfold gifts. Yet how few Catholics understand the proper way to prepare for this august Sacrament – or how to live its graces afterward!" (Matthew Plese)

Today we begin the novena for Pentecost. St. Maximilian Kolbe taught that the Holy Ghost acts only by the Immaculata, His mystical Spouse.
To understand the triumph of Her Heart, we must contemplate this divine union. Bookmark this post so you can stay faithful to the novena and prepare for Pentecost.

It was May 13, 1917. The world was at war, and Heaven opened. But Our Lady did not come to offer a vague hope; She came with a precise Mandate. Today, on Her Feast Day, we stop drifting. We return to the Three Pillars of Fatima.
This man was among the approximately 100,000 people who witnessed the Miracle of the Sun on October 13, 1917. This followed the six apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary (on May 13, June 13, July 13, August 13, September 13, and October 13) to three shepherd children between May and October 1917.
Mary had told the children that a miracle would occur on October 13th, and many of those who came to the site were there to mock the children and ridicule the Church. Yet they were left astonished.
If this doesn’t prove anything to you, then what will?
Tonight, on the eve of the 109th anniversary of the first apparition of Our Lady of Fatima, thousands of faithful illuminated the Shrine in Portugal for the breathtaking Candlelight Procession.
It was in this very field on May 13, 1917, that the Blessed Virgin Mary first appeared to three young shepherd children. Over a century later, that profound moment of grace continues to resonate, drawing millions of pilgrims every year to one of the most revered Marian sites in the world.
Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us!
