Three Things to Learn From Sirach

By |2024-12-02T12:25:21+00:00December 3rd, 2024|Theology|

One who trusts others too quickly is lightminded, and one who sins does wrong to himself. One who rejoices in wickedness will be condemned, and for one who hates gossip evil is lessened. Never repeat a conversation, and you will lose nothing at all. With friend or foe do not report it, and unless it would be a sin for you, do not disclose it; for some one has heard you and watched you, and when the time comes he will hate you.—Sir 19:4-9. Let's consider a few lines passage from the Sirach 19 (a book found on in the Catholic and Orthodox Bibles, not Protestant ones) and see what [...]

RIP Msgr. Philip J. Reilly

RIP Msgr. Philip Reilly, grandfather of the pro-life movement of NYC. pic.twitter.com/GwaG9YYlAV — Fr. Dave Nix (@FrDaveNix) December 1, 2024 The above video is four minutes, but I promise you it is worth watching.  Credit to "Therefore Choose Life." Rest in Peace, Msgr. Philip J. Reilly. This unsung hero of the pro-life movement has gone to his eternal reward. Founder of “Helper of God’s Precious Infants,” Msgr. Reilly saved tens of thousands of babies in his compassionate method of sidewalk counseling for decades in Brooklyn. His evangelization spread throughout the world. In NYC, he taught the Sisters of Life and the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (and me) all of [...]

Thanksgiving and Purity

By |2024-11-29T12:03:52+00:00November 28th, 2024|Theology|

Many good Catholics today are striving for an increase in purity by both prayer and mortification.  This is extremely commendable.  But did you know the virtue of purity is directly connected to supernatural hope?  And the virtue of supernatural hope is directly connected to gratitude?  I found this while studying Scripture: Gratitude increases hope: The hope of an ungrateful man will melt like wintry frost and flow away like waste water.—Wis 16:29. ... and hope increases purity: And everyone who thus hopes in Him purifies Himself as He is pure.—1 John 3:3. Therefore, real gratitude increases both supernatural hope and purity.  Purity of heart is not only something in regards [...]

TCE 58: Persecuted Christians in the East.

Mr. Joseph Janssen is a Pakistani Catholic whose sister was tortured and imprisoned for Christ for eight years. To free her, he founded https://voiceforjustice.eu. Joseph’s sister was then released and she wrote a book called, “Under Threat of Death: A Mother's Faith in the Face of Injustice”: https://a.co/d/6oFUpbW Novena for the release from prison of Will and Shagufta:  “O Saint Francis Xavier, well beloved and full of charity, in union with thee, I reverently adore the Majesty of God; and since I rejoice with exceeding joy in the singular gifts of grace bestowed upon thee during thy life, and thy gifts of glory after death, I give Him hearty thanks [...]

Prayer Request: Two Friends in Prison

Above from left to right:  Will Goodman, myself (Fr. David Nix), Fr. Fidelis Moscinski in Washington DC several years ago after a trial for Red Rose Rescue.  In Red Rose Rescue, we do peaceful counseling inside abortion centers with the insistence we cannot leave until every unborn child is safe from the instruments of the abortionist.  This usually ends up resulting in our arrest. Friend #1: Fr. Fidelis and Will Goodman have spent a lot more time in prison than I have.  Fr. Fidelis is out of prison after nearly a year behind bars.  Will Good man is still in prison.  Yesterday (23 Nov 24) I spoke on the phone [...]

“The Spirit of Truth Will Teach You All Truth.”—Jn 16:12

By |2024-11-20T23:33:11+00:00November 21st, 2024|Theology|

I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. But when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will teach you all truth. For He shall not speak of Himself, but what things soever He shall hear, He shall speak. And the things that are to come, He shall shew you.—St. John 16:12-13. When I had a conversion in the late 1990s, I entered very deeply into Catholic apologetics in how to explain the Bible to Protestants. I was traveling around the world back then, too.  One example is I had an American-Calvinist friend I met at the University of Paris. We debated [...]

A “Mayan Mass” and the Dialectic of Racism

By |2024-11-20T01:04:34+00:00November 19th, 2024|Theology|

The website The Communist defines Dialectical Materialism as the Marxist attempt "to understand the laws of society and nature in order to change them."  For most countries in which Communism was briefly "successful" (and by "successful" I mean killing tens of millions of their own citizens while making an elite few rich) the events took place by fabricating tension in a society on the basis of economic differences between different strata of society.  This was how Marxists in Russia began the Bolshevik revolution in 1917. But in the United States, this was a harder task for the communists (and now globalists) because our country was founded on a remarkable mobility [...]

And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head. And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the [...]
