Today is September 8th, the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin. Sadly, this great feast is trumped by the Sunday in most of the world, even in the 1962 missal, but it wasn’t always so.
Times are tough. Do not lose your faith. God planned for you to be alive in this world at this very moment… you were born for this, and His expectations for you are not a null set. When you think there is nothing you can do, turn to prayer. Turn to your Mother.
You really need to get to know your Mother, the glorious and immaculate Virgin. The more love you have for her in your heart, the more room in your heart for Christ, and the more willing He is to dwell there. In the first hour of her birth, Mary bore more glory than all the Old Testament saints, and in that same hour, had already attained more sanctity than all the New Testament saints while they yet lived.
Your greatest confidence is to be entrusted to your Mother, who gave us the wedding at Cana as the first glimpse of her under the title Virgin Most Powerful. Gospel of John, chapter two. Wine runs out, Mary asks Jesus to help, Jesus says no, Mary doesn’t take no for an answer. GOD INCARNATE OVERRULED BY MOM. Not only does Jesus give in to Mary’s request, not only does He make more wine, the best wine EVER MADE, He makes 150 GALLONS of it. Oh how the prots must hate John 2.
Now of course, Mary knew perfectly well that her request was aligned with Christ’s divine will, and that He would carry it out accordingly. God, being perfect, cannot act against His own will, and a creature cannot order God around. But here we have Christ as a model of the Fourth Commandment, even as He is yet God. This same dynamic plays out today, inside the Beatific Vision. Let’s just say the Holy Mother of God is… influential. He listens to her, and she wants to obtain and deliver great graces for you.
If you pray to God and He doesn’t seem to be listening, try dialing up His Mother.
Folks, pray the Rosary every day.
Thanks. Deo gratias!
There’s a lot of fake Christians popping up lately, so be warned.
After having on a holocaust denying “historian” who said Hitler really wanted peace and that the Holocaust was an accident, Tucker Carlson pretended to pray with Russell Brand at one of his appearances the other day.
Donald Trump, who murdered millions of Americans with the Covid 19 vaccine, just wished Mary a “Happy Birthday”. I guarantee you this is the first time he ever thought of the Mother of God.
Worldwide there is a shift of people hating Israel for its genocide of Palestinians (legitimate), which brings the Jew haters and Hitler lovers out of the woodwork (illegitimate). Many of these people are “Christians”.
Traditional Catholicism, far right Christianity has always had trouble with hating Jews. We know the Musllims do. I am against Israel, the Jews are wrong on Jesus, etc. But I will not for one minute deny what happened to them, nor do I wish them to be mass slaughtered, even if their government does that to the Palestinians.
He didn’t deny anything. Cooper was talking about the millions of POWs the Germans were ill-prepared to care for after Barbarossa. Soviet prisoners. He didn’t make a single reference to the extermination of Jews in the entireshow… they literally did not touch it at all in the entire 2.5 hours.
Cooper’s MartyrMade podcast is probably the best and most exhaustively researched history program available anywhere today. Maybe you should listen to him before falling in line with the White House, CNN, New York Times, Mediaite, and the other narrative gatekeeper attacks on the man’s character.
Darryl Cooper’s excellent response to this bogus controversy:
https://substack.com/@martyrmade/p-148628495
(I’m sorry this has to be on this thread, on Our Lady’s birthday. It doesn’t belong here. That isn’t lost on me.)
The Germans were not unprepared. They’d been expanding camps continuously. And of course he’s not going to mention the Holocaust directly, wink, nudge but since the Holocaust ramped up at the same time the Germans were supposedly having those problems after Barbarosa, the implication is clear.
Victor Davis Hanson demolishes this lie, and all of Cooper’s followers came out of the woodwork to excuse the Holocaust and rehabilitate Hitler. That was the intention.
I am extremely confident in my history knowledge and I definitely know dog whistles when I hear them. Being anti Jew is all the rage, and that’s why Coop was on Cucker, I mean Tucker.
And he is also wrong about Churchill who had no say in anything after Stalin jumped on board. Look up “convergence theory”. FDR adored Stalin.
You didn’t listen to the interview. And you’ve never listened to Darryl Cooper. But you can hear the “dog whistles” from… where exactly? The three emergency responses to the interview in 48 hours by the Walter Duranty Times’ Narrative Protection Team? Give me a break.
Once again, he wasn’t talking about the extermination of Jews at any point in the interview. You didn’t know that untilI I said it, and you, presumably, verified that it was factually correct. At which point you resorted to hearing “dog whistles” — which is race hustler-ese for “I know you didn’t say it, but I heard it anyway”. Anyone who’s listened to MartyrMade knows “Coop” isn’t a Jew-hater in the slightest… especially anyone who’s listened to all 23 hours of the Fear & Loathing in the New Jerusalem series. But somehow, you’ve determined that’s exactly what he is from second-hand reports from the serial liars in the mainstream press. Bear false witness much, Mike?
And Victor Davis Hanson has been one of the most vocal cheerleaders for the genocide in Gaza since it started. He’s a Zionist neoconservative to the core. And based on what you’ve posted here in recent weeks about Israel, he’d be the first to call you an ignorant, dangerous, raging antisemite.
Be careful who you hitch your wagon to there, Mike.
Be wary of many of these new “Christianity is cool” anti-globalist figures. One day they will betray Christians.
“””After having on a holocaust denying “historian” who said Hitler really wanted peace and that the Holocaust was an accident”””
“””Traditional Catholicism, far right Christianity has always had trouble with hating Jews.”””
And just like that, Mike, you have destroyed your credibility, and anything you post from here onward will be subject to increased scrutiny.
There are, after all, a lot of fake Christians popping up lately! Some might not even know that they are! They could also be dumb, and well, we all make mistakes… so take this as a friendly warning, Mike – start by actually watching the Tucker Carlson interview, and actually reading what men like Paul Craig Roberts say, and not lying to us that you did, like last time.
I am not worried about you, Johno. Traditional Catholics can be antisemitic. It’s just a fact.
I didn’t day all trad Catholics are, but to say it isn’t a problem is at break with reality.
I see things as they are, I accept the truth of things. I am guided in all things by The Holy Spirit.
Now go enjoy your “historian” and enjoy some more controlled opposition, I mean Tucker Carlson.
“I am guided in all things by The Holy Spirit.”
If this is literally true… we’ve been waiting for you.
It’s in the New Testament, it’s a promise Jesus made to the disciples.
I know Catholics are notorious for not reading the bible, but I recommend you do that.
You’re going to twist John 14:26 into you having Paracletal Infallibility? This should be fun.
I saw the other day a monk advised to read two chapters of the Bible a day. I’ve been wondering where to begin. Today I will read chapters 1 and 2 of the Gospel of John. 🤗
Happy Birthday, dearest Blessed Mother!❤️
Thank you, Mr. Docherty
Try a chapter from the New Testament and a chapter from the Old. You’ll finish the New before the Old, but consult a Catholic commentary. The Old Testament has Jesus or Mary prefigured in every book.
Mike, search around and find the clip of Biebl’s Ave Maria being played from the White House veranda for some event when he was POTUS 45. DJT and his likely Catholic wife standing right there. He HAS people peppering him about Our Lady…
Also, your last paragraph is spot on.
CJ nailed it….
Keep up the great posts NVP Mark!
Trump is as Catholic as Martin Luther. He is insincere.
By the way, not only is Trump living in mortal sib, but so is “Catholic” Melania!
The truth hurts.
If you weren’t guided in all things by the Holy Ghost, I’d have some questions about how you know enough to make a definitive public declaration on Melania’s interior state.
But since you speak on behalf of the Paraclete, I’ll take your word for it.
Speaking of Our Lady’s Birthday.
Trump wished her and tweeted out an image of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Turns out a lot of American Protestants and Demonrats don’t realize that Our Lady of Guadalupe and Mary are the same person.
What an embarrassment for America!
