Jesus Is A King!
This is the type of King that Jesus is! The gospel for the year’s Solemnity of Christ the King (Luke 23:35-43) shows us exactly the type of King Jesus is. Jesus is a King who strips Himself of His regal shine in order to wrap the lowly in the glowing royal robes of the blood…
All Saints of Every Race and Tongue
Today the Church celebrates all Saints known and unknown who fought the well fought fight and entered into heavenly glory. Now they intercede for us before Christ so that we can join them in the same glory they all share together. My apostolate especially celebrates all the Black Catholic saints in heaven both known and…
¿Por Qué No Los Dos? Roman Liturgies For ALL Roman Catholics
TLM and NO. ¿Por Qué No Los Dos? Why not both? The following was originally a thread a tweets inspired by this particular tweet: I have attended both the Traditional Latin Mass and the Novus Ordo since 2016 and have always been super down with both. I encourage all Latin Catholics to expose themselves to…
Our Lady of Sorrows
Let us join by the side of Our Lady of Sorrows below the cross on this day. Great quote from today’s Office of Readings: “The martyrdom of the Virgin is set forth both in the prophecy of Simeon and in the actual story of our Lord’s passion. The holy old man said of the infant…

The Nativity of Mary: A “Joyful Prelude” to Our Salvation. Happy Birthday Mama Mary!
“This is the highest, all-embracing benefit that Christ has bestowed on us. This is the revelation of the mystery, this is the emptying out of the divine nature, the union of God and man, and the deification of the manhood that was assumed. This radiant and manifest coming of God to men most certainly needed…
Deep Lent
Ladies and gents, if you came to church this morning and saw the statues and pictures in your parishes covered with cloths, then you know we have entered into Passiontide, what I will refer to as “Deep Lent”. The further we go into Lent the deeper we progress into the reason for Lent in the…
“Goodbye Alleluia” and Other Pre-Lent Vibes
We sung this cool hymn (fully pictured below) at evening prayer that was essentially about saying “goodbye” to the alleluia on the last day before Lent begins. The third stanza about how “Alleluia cannot always be our song while here below” is a great prelude into Lent and its mysteries of Christ’s journey to Jerusalem…
The Presentation. Christmas. Black History Month.
As tonight ends the Feast of the Presentation, traditionally before the coming of the reformed liturgy the Christmas season went all the way past Epiphany and ended on today, the Presentation. That is why I have kept the Madonna and Child as my social media pages’ profile images up until now from Christmas Day. The…
