Soldiers of the Immaculate

In this episode Father discusses the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, emphasizing her role as the Immaculate Mother, Mediatrix of All Graces, and model of total conformity to God’s will, particularly through her Fiat and participation in Christ’s redemption. Devotion to Our Lady is connected to the spiritual dangers of the present age and Catholics must detach themselves from worldly possessions, technology, fear, sin, and personal opinions; cultivate mental prayer; practice penance and the sacraments; discern and embrace their vocations; and prepare seriously for death and judgment. Let us consecrate ourselves and our families to Our Lady, imitate her virtues, persevere amid the crisis in the Church, pray and sacrifice for the salvation of others, and strive for sanctity rather than merely hoping to avoid damnation.

In this episode Father addresses some of the continuing ripple effects from the SSPX’s July 1 episcopal consecrations, namely the “ecumenical outreach” from Ecclesia Dei parish seeking to regularize supporters of the SSPX.

In this sermon Father discusses the dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary as defined by Pope Pius XII, emphasizing the Church’s infallible authority to proclaim divinely revealed truths and the necessity of assenting to every dogma of the Catholic faith. Mary’s Assumption is inseparable from her perfect detachment from sin and the world, her total conformity to the will of God, and her unique participation in Christ’s redemptive work through love, suffering, and humility. Let us imitate Mary and the saints by practicing detachment, living sacramentally, preparing daily for death, and trusting in Our Lady’s powerful intercession for perseverance and salvation. Key quotes from this sermon: St. Thomas Aquinas: “To reject one dogma is to reject them all.” St. Robert Bellarmine: The Art of Dying Well — “To die well, one must first die to the world.” St. Bernard of Clairvaux: “Blessed is that death which is purchased at any price.” St. Francis of Assisi: “My God and my all.” St. John of the Cross: “One may be attached even to something holy, such as a rosary.” St. Augustine of Hippo: “Before sin, the devil tells you God is merciful; after sin, he tells you God will never forgive.” St. Alphonsus Liguori: “As you live, so you will die.” St. John Vianney: Assurance given to Augustine Cohen regarding his mother’s salvation through Marian intercession. St. Bernardine of Siena: Christ Himself went forth to meet His Mother at her Assumption. St. Anselm of Canterbury: Christ ascended first in order to prepare and accompany Mary to her heavenly throne. St. Peter Damian: The Assumption of Mary surpasses even the Ascension in splendor. St. John Damascene: Christ Himself gave Mary Holy Viaticum before her Dormition.

In this sermon Father discusses the Immaculate Conception, explaining how Blessed Duns Scotus resolved theological difficulties by arguing that it was fitting for God to preserve His mother from original sin, a doctrine later defined as dogma by Pope Pius 9th. Mary is the “woman” of Genesis who crushes the serpent’s head, and as the “mold of God,” she serves as the perfect mediator to help the faithful be transformed into Christ. We need to practice total consecration to the Immaculate, imitating her virtues and relying on her intercession as it is the surest path to salvation and victory in spiritual warfare. Key quotes from Saints in this sermon: St. Augustine: “Mary was the only one who merited to be called the mother and spouse of God.” St. Augustine: “For sin never had any entry into the soul of the Blessed Virgin.” St. Bernard of Clairvaux: “Thou alone was found worthy to be chosen as the one in whose virginal womb the king of kings should have his first abode.” St. Bernard of Clairvaux: “Noah’s ark was a type of Mary, for as by its means men were preserved from the deluge, so are we all preserved by Mary from the shipwreck of sin.” St. Bonaventure: “It was becoming that the Blessed Virgin Mary by whom our shame was to be blotted out and by whom the devil was to be conquered should never even for a moment have been under her dominion.” St. Thomas Aquinas: “It was necessary that he, Christ, who was to take away sin, should be separated from sin as to the fault under which Adam lay.” St. Ambrose: “Christ chose this vessel unto which he was about to descend not avert but from heaven and he consecrated it a temple of purity.” St. Louis de Montfort: “I still would choose the immaculate way of Mary. It is a way a road without stain or spot without original sin or actual sin without shadow or darkness.” St. Louis de Montfort: “Mary is the great mold of God fashioned by the Holy Ghost to give human nature to a man who is God… and to fashion through the grace men who are like to God.” St. John Damascene: “O Blessed Virgin, thou was born and thou mightiest minister to the salvation of the whole world.” Links, Reading Material, and Books: The Secret of Mary (With Preparation for Total Consecration) by St. Louis de Montfort True Devotion to Mary by St. Louis de Montfort Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis Consecration to Mary (Angelus Press) "Video" versions of the podcasts are posted to Odysee, Rumble and sometimes on YouTube (The censors at YouTube don't like Father's preaching so we're not posting everything because we don't want his channel nuked).
