The Ave Maria is also called the Angelical Salutation, because it commences with the words of the archangel.The Ave Maria consists of three parts: The salutation of the archangel Gabriel, the greeting of Elizabeth, and the words of the Church.The Ave Maria is a most potent prayer, and one which is full of meaning.Please subscribe to my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzuBq5NsNkT5lVceFchZTtgBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-uncensored-catholic--5855002/support.Read about my new book: A Daily Catholic Devotional Reflections on the Daily Mass readings January-June, 2026: Caroll, Judson: 9798242070172: Amazon.com: BooksMy substack newsletter for The Uncensored Catholic is: https://judsonc.substack.com/Missio Dei's site is: https://www.missiodeicatholic.org/Confirmation, an Autobiography of Faithhttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/confirmation-autobiography-of-faith.htmlAvailable in paperback on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47Q1JNK

WHERE OUGHT WE TO PRAY?We can and ought to pray in every place, because God is everywhere present.The house of God is the place specially set apart for prayer.3. A solitary place is also suitable for prayer.FOR WHAT OUGHT WE TO PRAY ?We ought to implore of God many things and great things; benefits not appertaining to time so much as to eternity.We ought more especially to beseech almighty God to grant us such things as are conducive to His glory, and to our salvation, and in no wise to ask for what will only serve to gratify our earthly desires.MEDITATIONMeditation, i.e., contemplative prayer, consists in dwell ing upon the truths of religion, in order to awaken within our minds good resolutions.Meditation is a most excellent method of prayer, but it must not be pursued to the exclusion of vocal prayer.By means of meditation we obtain actual graces, and ad vance rapidly on the path of perfection.Please subscribe to my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzuBq5NsNkT5lVceFchZTtgBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-uncensored-catholic--5855002/support.Read about my new book: A Daily Catholic Devotional Reflections on the Daily Mass readings January-June, 2026: Caroll, Judson: 9798242070172: Amazon.com: BooksMy substack newsletter for The Uncensored Catholic is: https://judsonc.substack.com/Missio Dei's site is: https://www.missiodeicatholic.org/Confirmation, an Autobiography of Faithhttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/confirmation-autobiography-of-faith.htmlAvailable in paperback on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47Q1JNK

HOW OUGHT WE TO PRAY? If prayer is to be of utility to us, we must pray:In the name of Jesus; that is, we must ask what is in accordance with Our Lord's desires.We must pray with devotion; that is, we must fix our thoughts on God when we pray.We must pray with perseverance, that is, we ought not to desist from prayer, if our petition is not immediately granted.We must pray with a pure heart; that is, our conscience must be free from grievous sin, or at any rate we must be in penitential dispositions.We must pray with humility; that is, we must acknowledge our own weakness and unworthiness.We must pray with confidence, that is, with a firm conviction that of His infinite mercy God will grant what we ask, provided it will tend to His glory and to the true welfare of our souls.We must pray with resignation to the will of God; that is, we must leave the granting of our petition entirely to God's good pleasure.Please subscribe to my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzuBq5NsNkT5lVceFchZTtgBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-uncensored-catholic--5855002/support.Read about my new book: A Daily Catholic Devotional Reflections on the Daily Mass readings January-June, 2026: Caroll, Judson: 9798242070172: Amazon.com: BooksMy substack newsletter for The Uncensored Catholic is: https://judsonc.substack.com/Missio Dei's site is: https://www.missiodeicatholic.org/Confirmation, an Autobiography of Faithhttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/confirmation-autobiography-of-faith.htmlAvailable in paperback on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47Q1JNK

Today, we discuss sacramentals - the holy water, blessed oil and salt, crucifixes, medals, icons, etc. that are so much a part of Catholicism. Sacramentals are extremely important and should be part of the life of every Christian.Please subscribe to my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzuBq5NsNkT5lVceFchZTtgBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-uncensored-catholic--5855002/support.Read about my new book: A Daily Catholic Devotional Reflections on the Daily Mass readings January-June, 2026: Caroll, Judson: 9798242070172: Amazon.com: BooksMy substack newsletter for The Uncensored Catholic is: https://judsonc.substack.com/Missio Dei's site is: https://www.missiodeicatholic.org/Confirmation, an Autobiography of Faithhttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/confirmation-autobiography-of-faith.htmlAvailable in paperback on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47Q1JNK

A marriage can only be concluded in the absence of all impediments to it. The impediments may be such as nullify marriage, or such as render it unlawful.Those that render marriage null or invalid, are: Coercion, defect of age, consanguinity, and affinity, a previous marriage tie still existing, the greater degrees of Holy Orders, solemn vows, the prohibition concerning the marriage of Catholics with unbaptized persons.The impediments that render marriage unlawful, are: The prohibition in regard to certain times, diversity of religious belief, betrothal, simple vows, complete ignorance of religious truth.Impediments of a purely civil nature, such as minority, military service, recent widowhood.The ecclesiastical authorities are accustomed to dispense from matrimonial impediments where good reasons exist; the secular authorities do likewise.If a marriage to which any impediment rendering it invalid exists, should have been contracted, it must either be dissolved, or the impediment must be removed by means of a dispensation, and the ceremony performed over again.Marriage must be preceded by betrothal, by the publication of the banns, and by the reception of the Sacraments of Penance and of the Altar.Betrothal consists in this: An unmarried man and an unmarried woman, after due reflection, pledge their troth to one another, promising each to marry the other at the time agreed upon between them.The publication of banns is as follows: The names of the contracting parties between whom the marriage is to be concluded, shall be announced publicly three times in the parish church during the solemnization of Mass on three successive Sundays or festival days (Council of Trent, 24, 1).It is also enjoined on persons intending to marry to approach the Sacraments of Penance and of the Altar, because it is indispensable that they should be in a. state of grace, in order to participate in the graces conferred in the Sacrament of Matrimony.The Church expressly commands that the marriage be concluded in the presence of the priest of the parish, and two witnesses; or the parish priest may authorize another priest to act in his place.Marriages are, as a rule, celebrated in the forenoon, in the house of God, with solemn ceremonies, and Mass is usually said at the time.Please subscribe to my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzuBq5NsNkT5lVceFchZTtgBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-uncensored-catholic--5855002/support.Read about my new book: A Daily Catholic Devotional Reflections on the Daily Mass readings January-June, 2026: Caroll, Judson: 9798242070172: Amazon.com: BooksMy substack newsletter for The Uncensored Catholic is: https://judsonc.substack.com/Missio Dei's site is: https://www.missiodeicatholic.org/Confirmation, an Autobiography of Faithhttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/confirmation-autobiography-of-faith.htmlAvailable in paperback on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47Q1JNK

At the administration of Holy Orders the bishop lays his hands on the candidates for ordination, calls down upon them the Holy Ghost, anoints their hands, and presents the sacred vessels to them.The office of the priesthood, to which a man is raised by Holy Orders, is one of great dignity, but likewise one of no slight difficulty and of vast responsibility.The Sacrament of Holy Orders only confers the perpetual power, not the right, to exercise the functions of a priest. The newly ordained cannot therefore make use in any place of their sacerdotal powers, until they have received ecclesiastical authorization.No one can be admitted to priest's Orders who has not attained the age of twenty-four years (Council of Trent, 23, 12).Six other orders of ministry precede the priesthood, four lesser and two greater.There are three degrees in the Sacrament of Orders: The consecration of deacons, priests, and bishops. These three constitute but one sacrament.It is the duty of the faithful to pray God to send them good priests.Please subscribe to my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzuBq5NsNkT5lVceFchZTtgBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-uncensored-catholic--5855002/support.Read about my new book: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/12/a-daily-catholic-devotional-reflections.htmlMy substack newsletter for The Uncensored Catholic is: https://judsonc.substack.com/Missio Dei's site is: https://www.missiodeicatholic.org/Confirmation, an Autobiography of Faithhttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/confirmation-autobiography-of-faith.htmlAvailable in paperback on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47Q1JNK

God has granted to the Church the power, after the reconciliation of the sinner with God, of changing the punishments yet remaining due to sin into works of penance, or of remitting them altogether.Hence at the time of the great persecutions, the Church used to lay upon repentant sinners public penances for the expiation of the temporal punishment of sin, and afterwards com mute them into lesser ones, or remit them altogether, if the penitent manifested a sincere intention of amendment, or a martyr interceded for him.In later times, when public penances were abrogated, the Church permitted the contrite sinner to discharge the debt of temporal punishment due to sin by means of almsdeeds, crusades, or pilgrimages.An indulgence is either plenary, when a full and entire remission of all the temporal punishment due to sin is gained, or partial, when only a portion of the temporal punishment is remitted.The Pope alone has power to grant indulgences which are for the whole Church ; for in him alone jurisdiction over the whole Church is vested, and he is the steward of the Church's treasures.Indulgences may also be applied by way of suffrage to the suffering souls in purgatory, if this be expressly stated respecting the indulgence; a plenary indulgence is gained for them every time the holy sacrifice of the Mass is offered on a privileged altar.The graining of indulgences is most salutary (Council of Trent, 25), because we thereby keep far from us temporal evils, and are stimulated to the accomplishment of good works.Please subscribe to my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzuBq5NsNkT5lVceFchZTtgBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-uncensored-catholic--5855002/support.Read about my new book: https://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/12/a-daily-catholic-devotional-reflections.htmlMy substack newsletter for The Uncensored Catholic is: https://judsonc.substack.com/Missio Dei's site is: https://www.missiodeicatholic.org/Confirmation, an Autobiography of Faithhttps://southernappalachianherbs.blogspot.com/2023/05/confirmation-autobiography-of-faith.htmlAvailable in paperback on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C47Q1JNK
