Our Lady’s Warnings
The Apparitions at La Salette - The messages of motherly warning, which Our Lady gave on the mountain in 1846, concerned the sins particularly offending the good God in the world. But Our Lady’s prophecies did not stop with the immediate punishments soon to befall France. In two “secrets” revealed to the seers, one to Melanie and one to Maximin, Our Mother gave us fore-warnings about what was to happen to the world from that day until the end of time. Our Lady’s message for faithful Catholics in the face of such dire warnings: prayer, penance, conversion, reparation.

The Love of the Immaculate Heart
We want to wish you a blessed Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Today, many of man’s miseries are due to disordered love. We focus on the temporal rather than the divine. Because of disordered passions, we tend to love the wrong things and the wrong people for the wrong reasons. When we do turn our affection towards God and the divine, it is only half-heartedly, with divided attention and distracted hearts. When we delve into the Immaculate Heart of Mary, not only do we find the remedy. Not only do we find the exemplar, the perfect model of how to love. We also find a Mother whose anxious care is to make it happen in our own lives, and whose own infectious and efficacious love is like a magnetic force that draws us to her Divine Son. Read more…
Sanctity in the Home
The family is the foundation stone of civilization. In and through family life, the Catholic faith is passed from generation to generation. By the proper education and training of children, by hidden, constant practice of virtue, by fidelity to daily duty, Catholic parents form the shape of souls and of society. This is surely why the family is, and long has been, so viciously under attack. Family life, the sanctity of marriage, the very vocation and identity of Mothers and Fathers – for these, Satan does not spare in his efforts to distort, ridicule, pervert and redefine. In this letter we wish to share a few words of encouragement, as well as sources of spiritual renewal, for those of you on the “front lines” leading the battle for Christian civilization – we share audio sermons, excellent books, and more!
In WEBSITE NEWS we honor Our Lady during this month of May with a new Mediatrix of all Graces vintage holy card re-print and a new statue of Our Lady of Good Success. We also have a new chrism scented candle.
In COMMUNITY NEWS we share updates and pictures from the past few months. Read More….
Reparation to the Holy Face
Devotion to the Holy Face belongs in a special way to the Carmelite Order. Recently, when Our Mother Prioress was on her annual retreat, she re-read the book, The Golden Arrow. She was so moved by the words of Our Lord, so much more poignant now than before, in view of what is happening in the world and in the Church today, that she told us all, “We should do more to spread this devotion.” In this newsletter we share some of the words of Our Lord that impressed upon us the need to spread this devotion, as well as share materials for learning more about it.
In WEBSITE NEWS we share the importance of the Holy Face chaplet, the medal, and a new relic badge made from our own relic of the Veil of Veronica. Read more…
