Catholic Drive Time

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Monday, June 19th - 2023 – St. Ephraem the Syrian St. Ephraem (306-373) was born in Nisibis, Mesopotamia. He became a disciple of St. James, Bishop of Nisibis, and probably accompanied him to the Council of Nicea in 325. The deliverance of Nisibis from the Persians is attributed to his prayers. He retired to a cave near Edessa where he did most of his writing. He visited St. Basil at Caesarea in 370. Ephraem wrote many works on dogmatic and ascetical themes. He also strongly combated the Arians and Gnostics in numerous works. He was one of the greatest pioneers of Mariology and was known for his defense of the Immaculate Conception. As a missionary, he wanted to make the truths he taught as amenable as possible to the people. For this reason he composed poems and songs for them to sing. They were so pleasing that he became known as the Lyre of the Holy Spirit. He was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 1920. In those cities and villages of 4th century Mesopotamia, adults and children learned Catholic doctrine by means of the songs of St. Ephraem. They would sing his songs during their work in the fields at day, with their family at night, during their celebrations and feasts, and so on. St. Ephraem had the genial good spirit to inaugurate this type of apostolate that answered the legitimate need of the people for songs to glorify Our Lady. The apostolate of song that St. Ephraem made reminds me of how songs were often made in the past to accompany major episodes in Catholic life. For instance, the epopee of the Crusades had many songs Catholic knights would sing either en marche to battle or in the battle itself that prepared them to die for Our Lord Jesus Christ. It is beautiful to consider the warrior prepared to give his life for Christ. It is the beauty of heroism, the beauty of the war for Our Lord. Contemplating this, we admire those who are ready to pay God the tribute of their lives. Even if his death achieves no practical goal, the Catholic knight offers it for the sole reason of paying a perfect tribute to God. God created that Catholic knight, and he offers himself to God as a precious perfume that emits from its bottle in order to glorify Him. It is the beauty of the holocaust. The Holy Ghost who inspired St. Ephraem to compose songs in order to teach people good Catholic doctrine will perhaps also inspire other composers to write songs to prepare Catholics to fight and act for the glory of God and Our Lady in the great events predicted by Her at Fatima. Let us pray to St. Ephraem on his feast day and ask him to give us an understanding of the Catholic Church in all her beauty and poetry, so that even if we are not able to compose songs and hymns for the glory of God and Our Lady as he did, we can admire them and elevate our souls. St. Ephraem the Syrian, pray for us! INTRO – Happy Monday 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 – Friday, June 16th - 2023 – The Feast of the Sacred Heart This is a story that spans centuries, a story of divine intimacy and friendship, beckoning us to rediscover our connection with the heart of our Savior. In the beginning, when God created Adam and Eve, humanity reveled in the harmony of divine companionship. But with the fall of mankind, that connection was severed, and the world became a place of toil and suffering. Yet, in His boundless mercy, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem us, to heal the wounds caused by sin. It was in the 17th century that Jesus appeared to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, revealing His Sacred Heart and calling the world to return to Him, to seek solace and restoration through devotion to His Heart. This was more than a personal piety; it was a worldview, a call to action, and a profound invitation to experience divine love. God desired that devotion to the Sacred Heart begin with the influential King Louis XIV and the French court, radiating from there to the rest of Christendom and beyond. The Sacred Heart was meant to reign not only in individual hearts and families but also in the very heart of nations, including their rulers. It symbolized both the tender shepherd and the valiant warrior, encompassing the breadth of Christ's mission. Throughout history, there have been remarkable individuals and nations who embraced the devotion to the Sacred Heart. From the brave Chouans in the Vendée and Brittany to the unwavering Carlists in the Spanish Civil War, those who bore the emblem of the Sacred Heart on their arms demonstrated their allegiance to Christ in the face of adversity. Even in modern times we see this with Gabriel Garcia Moreno, the President of Ecuador, who consecrated his nation to the Sacred Heart, even in the face of martyrdom. The message of the Sacred Heart is a call to conversion, not only for individuals but also for nations. It invites us to restore Christendom, to allow the Sacred Heart to reign in the hearts of rulers and permeate society at every level. It is a path of mercy, love, and renewal that extends far beyond personal piety, offering hope and restoration to a world in need. Let us embrace the invitation of the Sacred Heart. Let us rekindle the flame of divine intimacy and friendship, allowing it to guide us on our path. May the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus be our compass in this tumultuous world, leading us to a place of divine connection and everlasting love. Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us!

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Thursday, June 15th - 2023 – St. Germaine Cousin St. Germaine Cousin, born in 1579 in the village of Pibrac near Toulouse, France, led a life filled with suffering and humiliation. Afflicted with a deformed and partially paralyzed hand, as well as poor health, she was subjected to mistreatment and cruelty by her stepmother. Germaine lived in a small, cramped space under the stairs of the family barn, sleeping on leaves and twigs with only black bread and water for sustenance. Despite her hardships, Germaine found solace in her unwavering faith. She spent her days tending to the family's flock, praying fervently and attending Mass whenever she could. Her devotion to God remained unshakeable, even in the face of ridicule from villagers who mocked her misery. She never complained or sought relief from her difficult circumstances, maintaining a serene and composed demeanor. Germaine's trust in God was rewarded with numerous miracles. When she needed to cross a raging stream to attend Mass, the waters miraculously parted, allowing her safe passage. Her flock thrived under her care, never causing any harm or straying, and her sheep were the healthiest and best-looking in the area. On one occasion, when accused of stealing bread, her stepmother discovered a bouquet of beautiful and fragrant flowers in Germaine's apron instead. Her reputation for performing miracles spread throughout the region, and even two Popes, Pius VII and Pius IX, sought her intercession to free them from captivity. Despite the fame and recognition she garnered, Germaine remained humble and unaffected. In the end, Germaine's life came to a peaceful close. Found dead on her simple pallet at the age of 22, she left behind a legacy of sanctity and humility. In a century marked by vainglory and self-love, she embodied the opposite virtues of humility and selflessness. Despite her lowly status and the cruelty she endured, she remained steadfast in her devotion to God and accepted her sufferings with grace. Her life teaches us to endure persecution and humiliation without resentment, to trust in God's providence, and to embrace humility as a path to heavenly glory. As counter-revolutionaries, we can draw inspiration from St. Germaine's example. Just like her, we may face mockery, isolation, and hatred for the Texas House Republicans Kill 48 Conservative Bills cause we represent. Yet, like her, we should learn to endure these challenges with humility and meekness. While personal offenses should not provoke our indignation, we should vigorously defend God and the Catholic Church when they are attacked. St. Germaine Cousin, pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Wednesday, June 14th - 2023 – St. Basil the Great St. Basil the Great, a venerable Bishop and renowned Doctor of the Church, left a profound mark on history. His greatness was affirmed through a vision granted to a hermit named Ephrem, who witnessed a column of fire ascending to the heavens, symbolizing Basil's extraordinary holiness. Initially skeptical, Ephrem's doubts were dispelled when he saw a tongue of flame emanating from Basil's mouth as they conversed. This miraculous sign confirmed Basil's sanctity, and Ephrem exclaimed, "Truly Basil is great, truly Basil is a column of fire, truly the Holy Spirit speaks through his mouth!" Another hermit, observing Basil in his grand episcopal attire, harbored disdain, presuming that the Bishop derived pleasure from such pomp. However, a voice spoke to the hermit, revealing that Basil found less delight in his dignified apparel than the hermit did in stroking his own cat. This gentle rebuke highlighted the hermit's attachment to small comforts and affirmed that one's soul is saved by following the path God has chosen for them, whether in solitude or amidst riches. St. Basil's unwavering commitment to truth and justice led him to confront Emperor Valens, who favored the Arian heresy and unjustly confiscated a Catholic church. Fearlessly, Basil stood before the Emperor, reminding him that a king's honor loves judgment and justice. Valens, frustrated, retorted, "This is unworthy of you!" Basil fearlessly replied, "What is worthy of me is to die, if I must, for justice!" His resolute defense of truth demonstrated his unwavering dedication to God's principles. To resolve the dispute over the confiscated church, Basil proposed a divine judgment. The doors would be sealed, and both Catholics and Arians would pray for their rightful claim. If God opened the doors in response to their supplications, the true owners would be revealed. Despite the Arians' fervent prayers for three days and nights, the doors remained closed. In contrast, as Basil led a majestic procession to the church, he struck the doors gently with his pastoral crook, and they swung open effortlessly. The people, rejoicing and grateful to God, witnessed the church's return to the Catholics. Although these accounts may contain elements of legend, they convey profound spiritual truths. They underscore the delicate balance between poverty and riches within the Church, teaching that both paths can lead to sanctity. St. Basil's unwavering courage in confronting both heresy and secular authority inspires us to defend truth and justice in our own lives. These stories invite us to marvel at the divine order of things and cultivate a spirit of admiration for the heavenly realities that await us. St. Basil the Great, pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Tuesday, June 13th - 2023 – St. Anthony of Padua St. Anthony of Padua, whose feast day we celebrate today, was a remarkable saint known for his profound knowledge of Scriptures and his fearless defense of the Catholic faith. Often referred to as the "Ark of the Covenant" and the "Hammer of Heretics," he left a lasting impact on the Church. Giotto's painting of St. Anthony, admired by Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira during his visit to Assisi, depicted a strong and majestic man. This portrayal resonated with St. Anthony's character as a Doctor of the Church, an expert in Scriptures, and a defender of the faith. St. Anthony possessed an extraordinary understanding of Scripture. He could quote even the most obscure passages and expound upon them, using them to challenge and refute heretics. His knowledge was coupled with his ability to engage in powerful debates, leaving his opponents defeated. Miracles often accompanied his preaching, further confirming his divine support and earning him the title "Hammer of Heretics." Unfortunately, the popular portrayal of St. Anthony today often diminishes his true nature. Sentimental depictions show him as a young man with a gentle demeanor, holding the Child Jesus with an air of confusion. This sentimental piety distorts the image of the militant St. Anthony, who fearlessly defended the Church and its teachings. St. Anthony's militant character is exemplified in two historical incidents. In one, a Spanish fleet was besieging the Muslim city of Oram, and the Spanish Admiral, facing a futile siege, turned to a statue of St. Anthony for intercession. He placed his insignias of command on the statue and implored St. Anthony to take command of the siege. Shortly after, the Moors inexplicably abandoned the city, reportedly in fear of a friar threatening them with heavenly fire. The second incident occurred in Rio de Janeiro, where the city was under attack by French Calvinist forces. The Catholic resistance was weakening, but the presence of a statue of St. Anthony in a central square inspired a renewed spirit of determination among the Brazilian Catholics. Young men flocked to join the army, and with their support, the Calvinists were defeated, ensuring Brazil remained a Catholic nation. St. Anthony's life and example urge us to become enthusiastic admirers of Catholic militancy, just as he was. Let us seek his intercession to help eradicate sentimental piety and embrace the true essence of our faith. St. Anthony of Padua, pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Monday, June 12th - 2023 – St. Gush ad Azad Saint Gush ad Azad, whose feast we celebrate on June 12th, was a powerful figure in the Persian Empire during the fourth century. Born into a society that worshipped the sun god Mitra, Gush ad Azad converted to the Catholic faith through the apostolate of St. Bartholomew. However, when Emperor Shapur II decreed a persecution against Catholics, Gush ad Azad, fearing for his life, renounced his faith. One fateful day, as he was being led to prison, Gush ad Azad encountered Bishop Simeon, a friend and Catholic. But instead of receiving a warm greeting, the bishop averted his gaze with indignation, deeply affecting Gush ad Azad. The eunuch realized the gravity of his betrayal, and his heart was filled with remorse. Driven by his newfound remorse and a desire for true conversion, Gush ad Azad changed his outward appearance, donning mourning garments in a dramatic display of sorrow. This unexpected transformation drew attention at the royal court, and Emperor Shapur II summoned him to explain his change in demeanor. In the presence of the emperor and his court, Gush ad Azad confessed his twofold perfidy—betraying his God and the emperor himself. He spoke of his hypocrisy in worshipping the sun while his heart protested the action. Unyielding in his position, Gush ad Azad was condemned to death. Before facing his execution, Gush ad Azad requested a last favor from the emperor. He asked that heralds proclaim throughout the city of Susa that he was being put to death because of his Catholic faith and refusal to renounce God. The emperor granted his request, and the proclamation echoed through the streets, inspiring and fortifying the faith of the dispersed Catholic community. Thus, on Maundy Thursday in the year 344, Saint Gush ad Azad embraced martyrdom. His conversion and steadfastness in the face of death became an example of grace triumphing over weakness and a testament to the power of prayer. We can learn from Saint Gush ad Azad's story the importance of seeking true conversion, even in the midst of our greatest failings. His journey reminds us of the unfailing mercy of Our Lady and the potential for redemption when we turn to her with confidence. May Saint Gush ad Azad intercede for us and inspire us to walk in fidelity and love for God and Our Lady, so that we may one day join him in the glory of Heaven for all eternity. St. Gush ad Azad, pray for us. INTRO – Happy Monday 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 – Thursday, June 8th - 2023 – Feast of Corpus Christi After the Last Supper, some may question if Jesus would abandon humanity on Earth. His sacrifice, special relationship with those He saved, and desire to be present among us suggest otherwise. Jesus, aware of His Resurrection and Ascension, would not forsake mankind. He wanted to remain with us until the end of the world. His love and compassion would not allow Him to separate Himself from humanity forever. Thus, Jesus established a profound communion with us through the Holy Eucharist. He is present at all times and in all places, whether in grand cathedrals or humble chapels. He chose to multiply His presence on Earth in this remarkable way. Encountering a Catholic, one can consider that Jesus might have been present in their soul yesterday or could be present tomorrow. In that moment, the person becomes a living Tabernacle, able to receive the Sacred Species. We witness Jesus' mercy when He instituted the Holy Eucharist. He waits in abandoned Tabernacles, humbly offering Himself to all who approach. His presence is awe-inspiring, given His status as the King of Heaven and Earth. We often fail to grasp the depth of recognition, adoration, and gratitude we should have for what Jesus accomplished at the Last Supper. We must thank God, through Our Lady, for the institution of the Holy Eucharist. As every gift from Heaven to mankind is requested by her, she also asked Jesus to institute the Sacrament. We should be grateful to Him for condescending to establish the Holy Eucharist and to her for interceding on our behalf. We must recognize the infinite value of the Mass, closely connected to the Holy Eucharist. The essence of the Mass lies in the renewal of the Sacrifice of the Cross. Through the priest's sacramental words, bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. This act is both the immolation of the Victim and the definitive act of the Real Presence, remaining in the Sacred Species within Tabernacles worldwide. We must ponder the immeasurable value of the renewed Sacrifice of the Cross in the Mass. The reverence for this Sacrifice is so great that even the need for divine vengeance and the end of the world would wait until the Last Day. In summary, Jesus' establishment of the Holy Eucharist demonstrates His desire to be present with us always. The Mass and the Real Presence reveal His infinite love and mercy, reminding us of the immeasurable value of His sacrifice on the Cross. Let us gratefully embrace the gift of the Holy Eucharist and approach it with reverence and adoration. Corpus Christi, Have Mercy on us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Wednesday, June 7th - 2023 – St. Willibald Willibald, an 8th-century bishop of Eichstätt in Bavaria, was known for his extensive travels and devout missionary work. Born in Wessex around 700, he was the son of Richard the Pilgrim and Wuna of Wessex, with a brother named Winibald and a sister named Walburga. At the age of three, Willibald fell seriously ill. Miraculously, he survived and entered the Benedictine monastery at Waldheim at age five, embracing the monastic ideal of peregrinatio religiosa. In 721, Willibald embarked on a pilgrimage to Rome with his father and brother. Along the way, they visited shrines and prayed, but their journey took a tragic turn when his father passed away. Willibald and Winibald continued their pilgrimage until they fell seriously ill, but through their prayers, they were miraculously healed. Willibald and his companions sailed to Naples in 724, exploring Sicily and Greece before reaching Asia Minor. They visited various holy sites, including Ephesus and the tomb of John the Evangelist. Their pilgrimage eventually led them to the Holy Land. After his pilgrimage, Willibald joined the Benedictine community at Monte Cassino, playing a vital role in the monastery's reformation. In 738, Willibald received a request from Boniface, a prominent missionary, to assist in his work in Germany. Willibald arrived in Eichstätt, where he was ordained a priest by Boniface in 741 and consecrated as the bishop of Eichstätt in 746. Under Willibald's guidance, the double monastery of Heidenheim was founded in 742, becoming an influential center for the spread of Christianity. For over four decades, Willibald dedicated himself to his episcopal duties, sharing his inspiring journey and teachings. His life and travels left a lasting impact on the Church. Today, Willibald is remembered as a devout bishop, a courageous traveler, and a dedicated missionary. His shrine is located at the Eichstätt Cathedral in Germany, where his relics are preserved. His feast day is celebrated on July 7th, commemorating his remarkable life and unwavering faith. St. Willibald, Pray for us. INTRO – Happy Wednesday When someone uses the OH MY GOD statement.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Wednesday, June 7th - 2023 – St. Willibald Willibald, an 8th-century bishop of Eichstätt in Bavaria, was known for his extensive travels and devout missionary work. Born in Wessex around 700, he was the son of Richard the Pilgrim and Wuna of Wessex, with a brother named Winibald and a sister named Walburga. At the age of three, Willibald fell seriously ill. Miraculously, he survived and entered the Benedictine monastery at Waldheim at age five, embracing the monastic ideal of peregrinatio religiosa. In 721, Willibald embarked on a pilgrimage to Rome with his father and brother. Along the way, they visited shrines and prayed, but their journey took a tragic turn when his father passed away. Willibald and Winibald continued their pilgrimage until they fell seriously ill, but through their prayers, they were miraculously healed. Willibald and his companions sailed to Naples in 724, exploring Sicily and Greece before reaching Asia Minor. They visited various holy sites, including Ephesus and the tomb of John the Evangelist. Their pilgrimage eventually led them to the Holy Land. After his pilgrimage, Willibald joined the Benedictine community at Monte Cassino, playing a vital role in the monastery's reformation. In 738, Willibald received a request from Boniface, a prominent missionary, to assist in his work in Germany. Willibald arrived in Eichstätt, where he was ordained a priest by Boniface in 741 and consecrated as the bishop of Eichstätt in 746. Under Willibald's guidance, the double monastery of Heidenheim was founded in 742, becoming an influential center for the spread of Christianity. For over four decades, Willibald dedicated himself to his episcopal duties, sharing his inspiring journey and teachings. His life and travels left a lasting impact on the Church. Today, Willibald is remembered as a devout bishop, a courageous traveler, and a dedicated missionary. His shrine is located at the Eichstätt Cathedral in Germany, where his relics are preserved. His feast day is celebrated on July 7th, commemorating his remarkable life and unwavering faith. St. Willibald, Pray for us. INTRO – Happy Wednesday When someone uses the OH MY GOD statement.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Monday, June 5th - 2023 – St. Norbert Saint Norbert, born in Xanten around 1080, led a life of contrasts and transformation. Initially drawn to worldly pleasures, Norbert served as a courtier and almoner to powerful figures. However, a near-death experience during a thunderstorm changed his outlook. This event prompted Norbert to embrace a life of penance and devotion to God. Seeking guidance, Norbert turned to Abbot Cono of Siegburg. Under his direction, Norbert underwent spiritual renewal and founded the Abbey of Fürstenberg, generously endowing it with his own property. Norbert's commitment to his faith deepened, leading him to become a priest. After a retreat at Siegburg Abbey, he celebrated his first Mass and delivered a powerful sermon on the transient nature of worldly pleasures. Throughout his life, Norbert faced challenges. Accused of being an innovator, he resigned from his positions and embraced poverty and humility. He sought counsel from Pope Gelasius and was granted the authority to preach. Norbert zealously confronted heresies, converted many, and reconciled enemies. In 1120, at the Pope's request, Norbert founded the Abbey of Prémontré and established the Norbertines. The Order thrived, with numerous houses founded. Women from noble families also joined the order. As Archbishop of Magdeburg, Norbert faced challenges in combating heresies, reforming clergy, and promoting peace. He fearlessly defended the true Pope and Church authority. Saint Norbert died on June 6, 1134, in Magdeburg. His body was laid to rest in the Norbertine Abbey of St. Mary, where his tomb became a site of miracles. Norbert was canonized by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, leaving behind a legacy of holiness and reform. Saint Norbert's life inspires personal conversion and faith renewal. His devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, tireless preaching, and establishment of a prayerful religious order have left an indelible mark on the Church's history. St. Norbert, Pray for us.

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.

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 – 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.
