The Miraculous Medal (the silver necklace above on the chain) was engraved in the 19th century at the indication of St. Catherine of Laboure when the Mother of God asked these to be made. God promises actual graces through Mary's hands to anyone who wears these. Because these are actual graces, these graces can be received by even non-baptized souls. The Scapular [...]

A Big Thanks to Donors
To Material Donors I want to thank all my material donors (who greatly overlap with my material donors) who are so generous in monthly donations and one-time donations. Ten years ago, I never expected to be having to raise my own funds as a priest. But now I found that I have a freedom to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ without compromise comes as I run a private Catholic charity dedicated to evangelization, teaching, pro-life work and Church reform. As you know, I still get health-insurance and dental-insurance from my diocese. However, all of my room and board as well as ministry expenses are covered by your generous donations. [...]

Mass Meditation
p/c Cream City Catholic A few years ago, I had spliced in scenes of the Passion of the Christ into a video on Vimeo of my own low Mass with the words I had thought came from St. Francis De Sales. However, a priest showed me the meditations did not come from De Sales. I believe he said the meditation preceded him. Either way, you can use these words to meditate at each part of the Traditional Latin Mass: When the priest goes to the foot of the Altar: Jesus enters the garden. O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, Who wast pleased voluntarily to endure mortal terror [...]

Can I Eat in a Place with Idols?
"May I eat in an ethnic restaurant with pagan idols up as long as I'm not eating there because of the idols?" The short answer to this is: If you have kids and/or want to stay on the safe-side, just avoid such restaurants, especially since there are so many options of restaurants and markets without idols out there. But what about a Catholic missionary living in India who has the choice between buying flour with a ganesh on it or entering a restaurant with a shiva in it or just starving to death? I know the tough-guy trad-answer is "Just starve to death." However, the Saints, Fathers and Doctors give [...]

The Geography of the Holy Sepulcher

Please be aware that the email-notification app on this blog no longer works, so you'll just have to check this front-page Theology Section and the Life Updates every week. Also, don’t forget to subscribe to all my talks and videos at Padre Peregrino on Rumble. I have only been to the Holy Land once and I went with a Catholic travel group just before being ordained a deacon in seminary. Rifling through the travel itinerary before arriving in Tel Aviv, I was very confused that we were going to visit the "Church of the Holy Sepulcher" (see above picture) but there was no indication on our travel [...]
