Catholic Drive Time

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Monday, June 5th - 2023 – St. Boniface Saint Boniface, whose feast day is celebrated on June 5th, was a remarkable figure in the foundation of the Middle Ages. Born as Winfred in England around 680, he embarked on a path that would shape the destiny of Germany and leave an indelible mark on the Church. At a young age, Boniface entered the monastery of Adescancastre, where he displayed a deep devotion to his faith and a gift for preaching. Under the guidance of the holy Abbot Winbert at the Abbey of Nhutscelle, his reputation for knowledge and eloquence grew. Despite the allure of high honors in his homeland, Boniface felt a strong calling to convert the pagan Anglo-Saxons in Germany. He embraced this vocation and, following the order of Pope Gregory II, dedicated himself to their conversion. He also worked alongside Charles Martel in reforming the Church in France and convened councils to combat simony, the corrupt practice of buying and selling ecclesiastical positions. In a momentous event, Boniface took an oath to Pope Gregory II in Rome, binding himself to the Catholic Faith and pledging his fidelity to the unity of the Church. The Pope, recognizing the importance of Boniface's mission, blessed him and entrusted him with the task of evangelizing Germany and reorganizing the Church in that land. St. Boniface's efforts were not in vain. He traveled extensively, baptizing pagans and spreading the light of Christ throughout Germany. In 723, he even felled the sacred oak tree dedicated to Thor, a powerful symbol of paganism, signifying the triumph of Christianity over the old gods. However, his missionary work was not without its dangers. In 754, while preaching in Frisia, St. Boniface faced martyrdom. He valiantly laid down his life for his faith, becoming a shining example of courage and devotion. His relics now rest in the cathedral crypt in Fulda, Germany, where he is venerated as the patron saint of both Germany and the Netherlands. St. Boniface played a pivotal role in the foundation of the Middle Ages. As a monk, missionary, and staunch defender of the Catholic Church, he contributed to the evangelization of barbarian peoples and the eradication of simony. His unwavering faith and dedication to the Papacy serve as an inspiration for us today. Let us invoke the intercession of St. Boniface, asking for his guidance and strength in our own mission to spread the Gospel and uphold the teachings of the Church. May his example remind us of the importance of fidelity to our faith and the pursuit of holiness in all aspects of our lives. St. Boniface, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Tuesday, May 30th - 2023 – St. Joan of Arc In the annals of martyrdom, few stories shine as brightly as that of St. Joan of Arc. On the eve of the feast of Corpus Christi, in 1431, Joan faced an unjust and tragic fate. Tied to a stake, surrounded by a pile of firewood, she was labeled a heretic, apostate, and idolater. A crowd gathered, and six hundred English soldiers stood guard. As she arrived at the site, she requested a cross, a symbol of her unwavering faith. An English soldier fashioned a cross from the broken stick of a lance, and Joan clutched it in her hands. Bound to the stake, she called out to St. Michael, her voice resounding through the square. The executioner lit the firewood, and the flames roared to life. Yet, amidst the inferno, Joan's spirit remained unyielding. With great conviction, she cried out, proclaiming her fidelity to her mission, declaring, "I was not mistaken, the voices came from Heaven!" In just moments, it was over. The ashes were scattered into the waters of the Seine River, including her heart, which had remained intact, untouched by the flames. Reflecting on this poignant martyrdom, we are struck by the injustice of the placard around her neck, branding her a heretic. It parallels the fabrication of false accusations against those who fight against progressivism today. Joan's unwavering belief in the voices from Heaven stands as a testament to her sanctity, while the tribunal's attempt to discredit her victories and attribute them to witchcraft exposes their malevolence. In her final moments, Joan's warrior spirit burned brightly. She requested a cross, underscoring the solemnity of her oath. As the flames consumed her body, she called out, defying her enemies, and encouraging the French resistance against English domination. Her cry reverberated through the square, urging her countrymen to persevere, assuring them that victory would be granted from Heaven. Amidst the searing flames, a remarkable phenomenon occurred—the fire spared her heart. It was a miraculous affirmation of the truth she had proclaimed: the voices came from Heaven. Yet, recognizing the power that her heart could inspire, the English commanders feared its influence. They discarded it into the river, an act characteristic of the hardened hearts of the impious. St. Joan of Arc's martyrdom remains a beacon of heroism and devotion. Her unyielding spirit, her resolute faith, and her fearless proclamation at the hour of her death continue to inspire generations. Let us honor her memory and follow in her footsteps, fighting against injustice and proclaiming the truth, until the triumph of God's Kingdom is achieved. St. Joan of Arc, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Friday, May 26th - 2023 – St. Phillip Neri St. Philip Neri, celebrated on May 26, was born into a noble but impoverished family in Florence. He dedicated his youth to apostolic works and founded a society in Rome to care for the sick and poor pilgrims. In 1551, he became a priest and established the Congregation of the Oratory, a group of priests devoted to preaching and teaching. St. Philip Neri possessed mystical gifts such as prophecy and discernment of spirits, allowing him to read the souls of penitents and spend hours hearing confessions. St. Philip Neri was deeply troubled by the religious crisis and the spread of Protestantism, particularly by the "Magdeburg Centuries," a work of propaganda filled with historical falsifications aimed at discrediting the Catholic Church. In response, he commissioned Cesar Baronius, a fellow Oratorian, to write a comprehensive history of the Church from the time of Jesus Christ until his own era. Baronius initially hesitated but ultimately spent close to 30 years completing the work, known as the "Ecclesiastical Annals." It effectively countered the falsehoods of the "Magdeburg Centuries" and contributed to stemming the tide of Protestantism in Europe. The Ecclesiastical Annals reaffirmed the Catholic Church as the pillar of truth. St. Philip Neri's concern for the Church as a whole and his determination to defend her from attacks demonstrate his universal Catholic sense. He recognized the historical fabrications employed by heretics to undermine the Church's credibility, a tactic reminiscent of the Pharisees who produced false witnesses against Jesus. St. Philip Neri's counter-attack involved producing a monumental work of erudition that presented the indisputable reality of historical facts. This approach, exemplified by the Ecclesiastical Annals and later by Fr. Cornelius a Lapide's Commentaries on the Sacred Scriptures, aimed to refute Protestant interpretations and restore piety and scholarly accuracy. Let us seek St. Philip Neri's intercession to empower us in our counter-revolutionary efforts against the enemies of the Church. May we, like him, contribute to the complete destruction of the Revolution and the establishment of the Reign of Mary over its ruins. St. Phillip Neri, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Thursday, May 25th - 2023 – Pope St. Gregory VII St. Gregory VII, a Pope known for his unwavering teachings, defended the Pope's rights over the Church and the spiritual authority over the temporal realm. His most controversial work, the Dictatus Papae, faced criticism from progressive theologians. It expressed his view on the relationship between the Pope and the Emperor, specifically concerning the Emperor's control over Church affairs and the election of Bishops. St. Gregory VII vigorously opposed the Emperor's interference, aiming to dismantle the imperial government's ambitions and humiliate its pretensions. He succeeded in asserting the authority of the Papacy over temporal matters. The Dictatus Papae outlined St. Gregory VII's belief in the Papal Monarchy as a universal spiritual authority. While the temporal power governed independently, the Pope's influence over the Empire was significant. The temporal power was seen as a tool to protect the Catholic Church, defend the Faith, and combat its enemies, acting under the Pope's guidance. This concept established two distinct and independent powers: the spiritual under the Pope and the temporal under the Emperor and secular rulers. St. Gregory VII's victory over the Emperor solidified the Papacy as the center of society during the Middle Ages. The Pope held the highest position, followed by the Emperor, and then the temporal sovereigns. The entire Catholic Hierarchy stood alongside the Pope in the spiritual realm. In essence, everything relied on the Pope's authority. On the feast day of St. Gregory VII, we are encouraged to seek his intercession for the restoration of this vision, which harmonizes the spiritual and temporal orders. The revival of this perspective will mark the dawn of the Reign of Mary. Similarly, when the Reign of Mary arrives, this vision will be fully realized. Let us pray to St. Gregory VII, asking God to bring back his sublime vision to Earth, for it holds the key to finding the right path in our lives. Pope St. Gregory VII, Pray for us. INTRO – Happy Wednesday When someone uses the OH MY GOD statement. I say Praise be His Holy Name. I dare you to say it. Alleluia.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Wednesday, May 24th - 2023 – Our Lady Help of Christians | Auxilium Christianorum The Battle of Lepanto, a significant naval battle in history, held the fate of Europe in the balance. Protestantism had caused division in Christendom, and religious wars were raging. The Catholic forces, comprising Spain, Venice, and Genoa, along with a small papal fleet, faced a formidable Turkish fleet. During the battle, while Catholic forces were on the verge of defeat, Muslim sources revealed an astonishing occurrence. The Turkish fleet witnessed a majestic Lady in the sky, emanating a menacing gaze that struck fear into their hearts. Overwhelmed by her presence, the Turks lost their courage and fled. Two men played pivotal roles in this momentous event. Don Juan of Austria, commander of the Catholic Armada, and St. Pius V, the Pope at the time, both turned to Our Lady Help of Christians in prayer. They placed their trust in her intercession and hoped for a miracle. Though the Catholic soldiers were unaware of her intervention, the Turks later reported the appearance of the Lady in the sky. It became evident that Our Lady had intervened, turning the tide of the battle in favor of the Catholics. What made the knights and soldiers of Lepanto true heroes was their unwavering faith. Despite facing seemingly insurmountable odds, they believed in Our Lady's power to secure victory. Their trust in her was not a blind resignation but a resolute act of fidelity to a grace-inspired voice within them. This act of unwavering faith holds a profound lesson for us today. In the face of adversity, let us emulate the heroes of Lepanto. Rather than succumbing to despair, let us trust in Our Lady's promises and affirm with confidence that she will triumph. May we discern the voice of Our Lady, finding strength in challenging circumstances and embracing the hope of victory. Let us remember that Our Lady Help of Christians will lead us to triumph and restore Catholic Civilization. Our Lady Help of Christians Auxilium Christianorum, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Tuesday, May 23rd - 2023 – St. Ivo of Chartres Saint Ivo of Chartres, a courageous and logical Bishop, lived during a time of turmoil in France. When King Philip I sought to divorce his legitimate wife and marry another woman, he turned to Saint Ivo for support, citing the alleged approval of a tribunal of Bishops. However, Saint Ivo firmly refused, stating that his conscience and reputation as a Bishop prevented him from endorsing such actions. He even compared the King's adultery to that of Herod and Herodias, emphasizing the need to defend the Church. As the drama unfolded, Saint Ivo intervened at every critical moment, writing to the King and a hesitant Legate, urging them to follow the teachings of the Church. Despite pressures and summonses, he remained steadfast in his refusal to participate in the illegitimate marriage. His logical spirit and unwavering dedication to the Faith serve as powerful lessons for us today. We should strive for coherence and logic in our beliefs, and we should admire and support Bishops who embody these qualities, for they contribute to the beauty and strength of the Church. St. Ivo of Chartres, Pray for us. INTRO – Happy Tuesday When someone uses the OH MY GOD statement. I say Praise be His Holy Name. I dare you to say it.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Monday, May 22nd - 2023 – St. Crispin of Viterbo St. Crispin of Viterbo, born in 1668, was consecrated to Our Lady at a young age and had a deep devotion to her throughout his life. He entered the Capuchin Order as a lay brother, serving in various cities in Italy. Despite his humble role, his piety and miracles attracted many people, including Pope Clement XI, who visited the small altar to the Holy Virgin that St. Crispin built in his kitchen. He had a contagious piety that touched the hearts of those around him. St. Crispin's devotion to Our Lady brought him extraordinary graces, and he was known for his ability to heal. The Vatican physician acknowledged the power of his remedies and recognized the wisdom of the Holy Virgin. St. Crispin's faith and simplicity inspired others, and he became a trusted confidant of the governor and the bishop in Orvieto, where he spent many years. St. Crispin's life mirrored that of St. Felix of Cantalice, another Capuchin lay brother. Together, they exemplify the virtues of humility, peace, and serenity of soul. Their harmonious contrast provides a valuable example for Catholics engaged in the fight against the Church's enemies. By embracing this balance, we prepare ourselves for the Reign of Mary, a society in which all harmonious contrasts will shine. St. Crispin of Viterbo was beatified on May 21, 1806, and his life continues to inspire us to seek holiness through simplicity and devotion to Our Lady. St. Crispin of Viterbo, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Friday, May 19th - 2023 – Pope St. Peter Celestine Pope St. Peter Celestine, known as the Phoenix of the Church, lived a remarkable life marked by humility and simplicity. Born in Italy to peasant parents, he displayed piety from a young age and even had visits from Angels, Saints, and the Virgin Mary during his prayers. In 1274, he went to Rome to defend his religious order, and with the help of a miracle, he gained the approval of Pope Gregory X. During a Mass before the Pontiff, he desired his simple vestments that he had left behind, and Angels appeared to deliver them to him. Afterward, he returned to his solitude. Upon the vacancy of the Papal See, Peter was unexpectedly elected as Pope Celestine V. Though he initially resisted the priesthood and considered himself unworthy, he accepted the position. As Pope, he lived with humility and continued his austere practices, even amid the bustling crowds. However, Peter eventually felt that the Papacy was not his true calling and decided to abdicate. Despite opposition, he remained steadfast in his resolution and, in a poignant moment, read his renunciation before the Cardinals. Clothed in pontifical vestments, he voluntarily relinquished the papal dignity and returned to his solitude, where he would eventually pass away. Peter's life is a testament to the innocence and purity of his childhood, his ability to attract masses through his solitary and saintly life, and the blessings bestowed upon his works. His unwavering simplicity and detachment from earthly concerns distinguished him, and his dialogue with God in solitude reflected his preparation for Heaven. Pope St. Peter Celestine, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Wednesday, May 17th - 2023 – St. Paschal Baylon St. Paschal Baylon, a Spanish shepherd born in the Kingdom of Aragon in the 16th century, demonstrated a profound devotion to the Blessed Sacrament throughout his life. As a youth, he attended Mass whenever possible and, when unable to do so, he would kneel in the fields and adore the Elevation of the Blessed Sacrament as the nearby church bell rang. At the age of 24, he joined the Discalced Franciscans in Villareal, where his fervor for the Eucharist continued to burn brightly. During his final moments on Earth, St. Paschal received the Holy Viaticum and inquired if Mass had begun in the Monastery Chapel. Upon learning that the Elevation was imminent, he awaited the sound of the small bells. At that sacred moment, he exclaimed, "My Jesus!" and peacefully passed away. Remarkable miracles accompanied St. Paschal even after his death. During his funeral, his corpse, When the priest elevated the Chalice, the lifeless body mirrored the movement. Later, his remains were positioned near the Main Altar, and whenever Mass was celebrated on that altar, sounds of movement emanated from his coffin, inviting the faithful to deepen their devotion and adore the Holy Sacrament. These ongoing manifestations of St. Paschal Baylon's love for the Eucharist serve as a testament to his heroic virtue and intimate connection with the Real Presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. They also carry a polemical value, countering the Protestant denial of the Real Presence prevalent during the time of the Reformation. St. Paschal Baylon, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Tuesday, May 16th - 2023 – St. John Nepomucene St. John Nepomucene, whose feast day is celebrated on May 16, was born in 1330 in Nepomuk, Bohemia. As a child, he was cured of a grave illness by the Holy Virgin Mary. Despite receiving offers of high positions and titles from King Wenceslas IV, St. John chose to remain a regular canon. He was even chosen as the confessor of the Empress. However, when the King grew jealous and suspicious, he demanded that St. John reveal the Empress's confessions. The saint refused, even after torture and imprisonment. Eventually, the king ordered him to be drowned in the river. As John's body hit the water, five stars appeared, a miraculous sign witnessed by the people. The Queen confronted the King with the miracle, leaving him disturbed. St. John Nepomucene became a revered saint and was canonized in 1729. St. John Nepomucene's life exemplifies unwavering fidelity to the sacramental seal of confession, even in the face of persecution and martyrdom. His martyrdom serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the sacredness of confession and the need for true Catholic fidelity in times of spiritual crisis. St. John Nepomucene, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Monday, May 15th - 2023 – Pope St. Julius I St. John Baptist de la Salle was born in Rheims, France in 1651. As a young boy, he experienced a deep dissatisfaction with the social gatherings around him, prompting him to seek spiritual guidance from his cousin. He entered the clergy, becoming a canon of the See of Rheims at the age of 16. In 1670, he went to Paris to study theology, after the deaths of his parents, he returned home to care for his siblings. It was during this time that he encountered a free school for orphan boys and recognized the need for Catholic education for the poor. St. John Baptist de la Salle took on the responsibility of training teachers for these schools and founded the Brothers of the Christian Schools, also known as the Christian Brothers. Despite the challenges, St. John Baptist de la Salle persevered and wrote rules for the Institute, emphasizing a life without money and relying on Divine Providence. He distributed his wealth to the poor and faced opposition from his disciples who wanted a share of the goods. The institute and its schools faced persecution, with the lay teachers being ridiculed and attacked. In his later years, St. John Baptist de la Salle faced mistreatment and the loss of his priestly powers. However, he remained steadfast in his faith and, two days before his death on April 7, 1719, he expressed his hope of entering the Promised Land of the elect. St. John Baptist de la Salle's mission was to provide a Catholic education for poor boys and he dedicated his life to that cause. Let us pray to St. John Baptist de la Salle to help us appreciate and support all the vocations in Holy Mother Church. St. John Baptist de la Salle, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Friday, May 12th - 2023 – Pope St. Julius I Pope St. Julius I, who reigned from 337 to 352, is honored today for his courageous defense of the Catholic faith against the Arian heresy. During his papacy, he faced challenges from the Eusebians, who continued to promote Arianism and harbored hostility towards St. Athanasius, the Bishop of Alexandria. When the Eusebians opposed St. Athanasius' return to his See, they appealed to Pope Julius for resolution. In response, the Pope convened the Council of Sardica in 343. He warmly welcomed St. Athanasius to Rome, reaffirming his support for the Alexandrian bishop's teachings and position. The Council of Sardica addressed critical matters concerning the Catholic faith, the objections raised by the Arian followers of Eusebius of Nicomedia, and the complaints lodged against St. Athanasius. Pope Julius I, together with the council Fathers, deposed and excommunicated eight prominent Arians, removing them from their episcopal offices and cutting them off from the faithful. In recognition of Pope Julius' steadfastness and leadership, the Bishops of the Council sent him a remarkable letter titled "Quod semper credidimus." In this letter, they expressed their belief that the Pope, despite his physical absence, was present with them in spirit and shared their convictions. They acknowledged the importance of reporting to the Head of the Church, the See of the Apostle Peter, to safeguard the flock against schismatic wolves and heretical adversaries. Pope St. Julius I's unwavering commitment to upholding Catholic doctrine and defending the Church from heresy serves as a shining example of his sanctity and fidelity. May his steadfastness inspire us to courageously defend the faith in our own lives and stand firm against any threats to the truth. Pope St. Julius I, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Thursday, May 11th - 2023 – St. Leo the Great St. Leo the Great, celebrated on April 11, was a remarkable Pope who reigned from 440 to 461. He courageously defended the faith against heresies and faced significant threats to Rome. In 452, St. Leo encountered Attila the Hun, who was marching toward Rome. The Pope fearlessly went to meet him, and in a miraculous turn of events, St. Peter appeared above him, causing Attila to withdraw his forces. This saved Rome from destruction and demonstrated St. Leo's holiness and authority. St. Leo also fought against heresies within the Church. He exposed a hidden Manichean community in Rome, warning the people of their dangerous teachings. When Priscillianism resurged in Spain, St. Leo wrote a letter refuting its errors and connecting it to the Manichean heresy. To protect the faithful, St. Leo established a form of the Inquisition in Rome, presiding over sessions that dealt with heretics. He ensured that appropriate measures were taken to safeguard the purity of the faith. St. Leo's life exemplifies his unwavering commitment to the truth and the preservation of the Catholic Church. His miraculous encounter with Attila and his efforts to combat heresy demonstrate his profound impact. Let us pray for his intercession and strive to emulate his steadfastness and love for the Church. St. Leo the Great, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Wednesday, May 10th - 2023 – St. Antoninus St. Antoninus, born in 1389 in Florence, was a man of small stature but immense piety and intelligence. He dedicated himself to learning and study from an early age, and at 15, he sought admission into the Dominican Order. Accepted a year later, he underwent his novitiate under the guidance of Blessed Lawrence of Ripafratta, alongside renowned artists Fra Angelico and Fra Bartolommeo. His zeal and dedication to reform caught the attention of Pope Eugene IV, who appointed him as the Archbishop of Florence in 1445. St. Antoninus entered the city with great pomp, and he embarked on a mission to eradicate scandals and address the prevailing abuses within his diocese. Despite the influence of the Renaissance in Florence, St. Antoninus, along with other holy figures of the time, became a counterforce against the prevailing spirit. His actions and prayers played a significant role in curbing the momentum of the Renaissance in the city, and even Prince Cosimo de Medici acknowledged the positive impact of his presence. While the ultimate success of his efforts may be debated, St. Antoninus's life serves as a testament to the importance of individuals responding faithfully to their divine call. Florence, with its potential for great spiritual renewal, depended on the collaboration and fidelity of its inhabitants to effect lasting change. St. Antoninus's example inspires us to embrace our own vocations and faithfully pursue the plan entrusted to us by Our Lady, knowing that our response to grace can shape the course of history. St. Antoninus, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Tuesday, May 9th - 2023 – St. Pachomius The life of St. Pachomius the Great provides a valuable lesson on the importance of spiritual vigilance and interpreting small actions as indicators of deeper spiritual states. In his monastery, a monk made two straw mats instead of one, seeking praise for his diligence. However, St. Pachomius recognized the monk's vanity and admonished him. As a penance, the Saint instructed the monk to wear the two mats on his back during community prayer, publicly confessing his attachment to them over the Kingdom of Heaven. The monk was further required to carry the mats during the meal and endure six months of seclusion, fasting on bread and water while making two mats daily. This story reveals the ancient Fathers' practice of severe penances for even minor faults, which their subordinates accepted with humility and used for spiritual growth. It also highlights the need for vigilance in discerning small symptoms of vice that can have significant implications. St. Pachomius reminds us to interpret these symptoms in ourselves, others, and society at large, helping us recognize the forces of revolution and counter-revolution. Through his example, we are called to remain vigilant, combat vice, and appreciate the profound impact of seemingly insignificant actions on our spiritual well-being. St. Pachomius, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Friday, May 5th - 2023 – Pope St. Pius V Pope St. Pius V, whose feast day is on May 5, was a champion of the Catholic Faith and defender of Christendom. He ruled the Church during the 16th century when the Knights of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, also known as the Knights Hospitaller, were stationed in Malta, a strategic position in the Mediterranean against Muslim forces. As the Ottoman Empire prepared to attack the island, the Pope wrote to King Philip II of Spain, addressing him as "Our Most Dear Son in Christ, Philip II, Catholic King" and urging him to assist the Knights of Malta. The Pope's letter shows his respect for and trust in the king's Catholic faith, as well as his recognition of the importance of temporal power in defending the Church. In addressing the King of Spain as his son, St. Pius V exemplified the close relationship between the Church and temporal rulers in those times. He believed that the Catholic Faith and Christendom itself were threatened by the Ottoman Empire, and that all Catholics should come to the aid of those defending Malta. St. Pius V's letter to King Philip II shows the practical application of his faith, as well as his deep concern for the welfare of the Church and all of Christendom. He remains a model for Catholics and political leaders alike, reminding us of the importance of defending the Faith and of the unity between the Church and the temporal sphere. Pope St. Pius V, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Thursday, May 4th - 2023 – St. Angelus of Jerusalem St. Angelus of Jerusalem, born in 1185, was a Carmelite and a son of converted Jewish parents. He combated heresies like the Pataria, the Albigensians, and the Bulgars, and had a great devotion to St. Francis of Assisi. St. Angelus met St. Francis in Rome in 1219 and told him of his coming martyrdom. He was murdered by the Cathar Count Berenger in Leocadia after publicly censuring him for living incestuously with his sister. St. Angelus is best known for the famous encounter of three saints in a sacristy in Rome. St. Dominic, St. Francis, and St. Angelus met and each one understood who the other was by divine inspiration. The three knelt and conversed on their knees, and the beauty of their encounter lies in the fact that each one venerated the others. St. Angelus' martyrdom was similar to that of Jesus Christ as he was killed by an enemy of the Church. He died saying the same words that Jesus Christ did on the Cross: "Into Thy hands I commend My Spirit." St. Angelus of Jerusalem, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Wednesday, May 3rd - 2023 – St. Ansfrid St. Ansfrid, Count of Brabant, led a successful military career before dedicating his life to God. He founded an abbey at Heiligenberg and a convent at Thorn, which were built with the financial support of his wife. Together, they agreed to live as brother and sister in perfect chastity. When he retired from his military career, he proclaimed his dedication to fighting for the glory of God and the conquest of souls. Ansfrid was later appointed Bishop of Utrecht, but he continued to take leave of his work to make retreats at one of the monasteries he had founded. He died in 1010 and was soon recognized for his saintly life. The life of St. Ansfrid shows the unity of a life lived in continuous combat in both the spiritual and temporal spheres. He was a knight-errant fighting on behalf of the poor, widows and orphans for the love of Christ, and later, as a bishop, he fought for the salvation of souls. This attitude is in contrast with the pacifist mentality of our times that sees any combat, be it ideological or material, as evil in itself. The life of St. Ansfrid invites us to imitate his militancy and enjoy the fight for a superior cause, which is the cause of Our Lady. St. Ansfrid, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Tuesday, May 2nd - 2023 – St. Athanasius Saint Athanasius, whose feast day is celebrated on May 2, was one of the greatest saints of the Church, and his life offers valuable lessons for Christians. St. Athanasius lived during the time of Emperor Constantine and his immediate successors. During this period, the Church was transitioning from the catacombs to organizing itself in the light of day. However, as the pagan persecutions decreased, the Church was plagued with heresies and internal divisions. The heresy of Arianism was particularly nefarious as its followers denied that Jesus Christ was God, instead claiming that He was only a human being. St. Athanasius, who was the Patriarch Archbishop of Alexandria, was the great giant who fought against Arianism. He spent 17 of his 46 years as archbishop in exile, due to Arian plots against him, and was even threatened with death. During one of his flights, he was forced to spend six years hidden at the bottom of an abandoned well. He was always confident in Divine Providence, always disposed to fight, and always unwavering in his orthodox purposes. He fought against Arianism through his sermons, and his words were taken down, copied, and spread throughout the Roman Empire. In conclusion, St. Athanasius's life is a shining example of perseverance, courage, and faith, and his fight against Arianism provides an example of how to resist heresy. St. Athanasius, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Friday, April 18th - 2023 – St. Louis Grignion de Monfort St. Louis Grignion de Monfort (1673-1716) was a French priest who was banished from the Diocese of Poitiers by the Bishop, influenced by Jansenism, during his preaching of spiritual exercises to the Sisters of St. Catherine. At his leave-taking, he directed a letter to the inhabitants of Montbernage, urging them to have an ardent love for Jesus Christ and to love Him through Mary. He emphasized the importance of true devotion to Our Lady, praying the Rosary every day, and receiving the Sacraments at least once a month. St. Louis faced many enemies who hated him for defending the principles of the institutions that supported them. However, the Vendée and Bretagne, where his preaching was well received, were the only places that rose up to defend the altar and the throne during the French Revolution. St. Louis is a rejected prophet, who raised high the standard of the fight, but at the same time was rejected, hated, and persecuted, just like true counter-revolutionaries today. St. Louis Grignion de Monfort, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Thursday, April 27th - 2023 – Pope St. Marcellinus Pope Marcellinus ruled the Church of Rome for 9 years and 4 months. But under the orders of Emperors Diocletian and Maximian, he was taken prisoner and forced to offer sacrifice to idols. At first, he refused and was threatened with torture, but in fear, he ultimately made a sacrifice to the gods, causing immense sadness among the faithful. Members of the church reproached him severely, and he realized his error, offering himself to be judged by a council of Bishops. The Bishops stated that the Supreme Pontiff cannot be judged by anyone, but he could weigh his own case and pronounce his own judgment. Pope Marcellinus deposed himself, but the whole gathering immediately re-elected him. The Emperors had him arrested again, but he refused to make a sacrifice to the idols and was sentenced to be beheaded. This led to a renewed persecution where 17,000 Christians were put to death in one month. When Marcellinus was about to be beheaded, he declared himself unworthy of Christian burial, and no one dared to bury him. His body lay above ground for 35 days until Apostle Peter appeared to Marcellus, the Pope who succeeded Marcellinus, and instructed him to bury Marcellinus at his feet. Marcellus obeyed, and the curse was lifted. Pope St. Marcellinus, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Wednesday, April 26th - 2023 – Our Lady of Good Counsel Our Lady of Good Counsel of Genazzano is celebrated on April 25 in Genazzano and April 26 elsewhere. The picture of Our Lady depicts her as a queen wearing a crown of precious stones, and the Child Jesus also wears one. The jewels set on the picture were given by individuals in thanksgiving for spiritual favors and miracles worked by Our Lady. The picture reveals remarkable coherence, especially in Our Lady's expression. Her face is completely serene, and everything about her gives the impression of her great satisfaction in having her Child in her arms. The Child has an extraordinary intimacy with her, and He holds onto her like one accustomed to such a position. There is a curious contrast in their attitudes. He has an air of dominion, clasping her neck, and appears satisfied and protected, notwithstanding He looks like her Lord. In her physiognomy, there is veneration and respect for Him. She assumes the air of a person who prays. She is not asking anything in her prayers; she is contemplating His person. It seems to me that she is making an act of contemplation. The painting delicately expresses the Catholic doctrine of the mediation of graces. It does not have the precision of theology, but the subtleness proper to art. When you draw nearer to the picture to contemplate the relationship between her and Him, you feel yourself invited to enter into their intimacy. You feel yourself being understood, loved, and helped by her, and by Him. You feel yourself adopted by her as a son or daughter and, therefore, like a brother of the Child Jesus. Our Lady of Good Counsel, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Tuesday, April 25th - 2023 – St. Mark the Evangelist St. Mark the Evangelist is celebrated on April 25th. He was from the tribe of Levi, baptized by St. Peter, and instructed by him in the Christian faith. Mark would follow Peter to Rome and preached the Gospel in the city with him. The faithful asked St. Mark to write the life of Our Lord according to the accounts of St. Peter, and so Mark wrote the narrative based on what he had heard from Peter. Peter approved it to be read by all the faithful. Later, Peter sent Mark to Alexandria, where he was the first to preach the Word of God. Simon, an old Jew who witnessed the labors of Mark in that city, said an enormous multitude converted there as a consequence of the apostolate of St. Mark. St. Peter Damian wrote that God gave St. Mark a special grace by which all the people he converted in Alexandria took up monastic customs. St. Peter consecrated him Bishop of Alexandria. In this city, the zeal of St. Mark attracted the hatred of the priests of the false gods. They seized him while he was saying Mass and tied a rope around his neck, dragging him through the city like an animal to slaughter. His body was lacerated, and his blood stained the roads. In prison, he was consoled by an Angel, and Our Lord visited him, saying, “Peace be with you, O Mark, My Disciple and My Evangelist. Fear nothing because I am near you.” The next day the pagan priests again dragged him through the streets, and he died saying, “Into Thy hands I commend my spirit.” The air became turbulent, and lighting and thunder broke through the sky. His disciples were able to collect and piously bury his remains. St. Mark's conversion of many people of Alexandria was a stark contrast to the dissolute and exorbitant way of life of the local social elites. St. Mark the Evangelist, Pray for us.
