Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Wednesday, November 8th 2023 – St. Willehad 1. **Birth and Early Life (735-788):** St. Willehad, born in 735, became the first Bishop of Bremen, a Diocese created by Emperor Charlemagne after his re-conquest of the Saxons. 2. **Charlemagne's Decree (788):** In the year 788, Charlemagne issued a decree affirming his victory over the Saxons, their conversion to Christianity, and their obligation to pay a tithe to the Church. This decree demonstrated the close relationship between ecclesiastical and civil powers in that era. Charlemagne emphasized divine providence, victory through the Cross, and the Saxons' acceptance of baptism or facing death. 3. **Role of Charlemagne in Saxon Conversion:** Charlemagne's decree revealed his approach to balancing justice with mercy. He acknowledged the aggressive nature of the Saxons, his victories, and the subsequent forced baptisms. Despite his military victories, he chose mercy by sparing the Saxons' lives, allowing them to return to their normal lives under Christianization and tribute to the Church. 4. **St. Willehad's Contribution (788-789):** St. Willehad's acceptance as the first Bishop of Bremen was crucial. His sanctity and guidance provided spiritual support to the newly converted Saxons. He became the representative of God, ensuring the spiritual growth and maintenance of the Catholic faith among the people. 5. **Legacy and Symbolism:** St. Willehad symbolized the fragrance of sanctity in the early Christianization of the Saxons. His role as a Bishop Saint, surpassing even the Emperor in spiritual significance, highlighted the importance of sanctity in upholding the Catholic spirit in the region. 6. **Relevance Today:** St. Willehad's example serves as an inspiration for rebuilding and maintaining Christendom in challenging times. His life demonstrates the transformative power of sanctity and faith, even in the face of historical complexities and societal changes. St. Willehad's life and Charlemagne's decree together illustrate a pivotal period in the history of Christianity, emphasizing the role of sanctity, mercy, and divine providence in shaping the course of nations. Let us ask St. Willehad to help us rebuild and maintain a new Christendom in these times, which are much worse than his. St. Willehad, pray for us!

May they rest in peace. Amen O Lord, who art ever merciful and bounteous with Thy gifts, look down upon the suffering souls in purgatory. Remember not their offenses and negligences, but be mindful of Thy loving mercy, which is from all eternity. Cleanse them of their sins and fulfill their ardent desires that they may be made worthy to behold Thee face to face in Thy glory. May they soon be united with Thee and hear those blessed words which will call them to their heavenly home: "Come, blessed of My Father, take possession of the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the Universal Church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen. Join Email list!

But he taking him, healed him, and sent him away. 5 And answering them, he said: Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fall into a pit, and will not immediately draw him out, on the sabbath day? 6 And they could not answer him to these things.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Thursday, November 2nd 2023 – All Souls Day 1. **Significance of All Souls Day:** All Souls Day, celebrated on November 2nd, is a day when Catholics pray for all the faithful departed, especially those in Purgatory. It's a day to reflect on the reality of death. 2. **Church's Reminder of Death:** The Church uses All Souls Day to remind believers of death's harsh realities. It presents the suffering souls in Purgatory and the misery of death, emphasizing the separation of body and soul. 3. **Meditation on Death:** Reflecting on death helps individuals understand life's true dimensions. People often assume they have time to prepare for death, but sudden and unpredictable events can end life abruptly. 4. **Uncertainty of Life:** The uncertainty of life's duration should lead to detachment from earthly things. Recognizing the inevitability of death humbles pride and reminds individuals of their accountability before God. 5. **Life's Grandeur Through Death:** Death gives life grandeur. Contemplating mortality contrasts the transient nature of earthly desires with the ultimate destiny of every soul, which is death. 6. **Modern Resistance to Grief:** Some modern perspectives avoid mourning and grief. The concept of death is often disregarded or met with fear. The Revolution, symbolizing societal upheaval, is resistant to acknowledging grief and the gravity of death. 7. **Facing Death with Serenity:** Facing death with serenity and grandeur is essential. Despite the affliction and terror associated with death, the intelligent being possesses the certainty of another life and destiny after death. 8. **Benefit of Considering Suffering:** Contemplating suffering is beneficial. Suffering has a role in life, teaching courage and resilience. Avoiding suffering is akin to living as a fragile porcelain doll, disconnected from life's realities. Let us pray for the deceased, for the souls who are the most abandoned in Purgatory and for whom no one prays, with the consent of Our Lady, of course, who decides what to do with all our prayers. Let us also ask that they obtain for us the comprehension, love and enthusiasm for those unfathomable shadows of death that enrich the aesthetics of the universe and the authentic panoramas of human life. All Holy Souls, pray for us! INTRO – Happy Thursday When someone uses the OH MY GOD statement. I say Praise be His Holy Name. I dare you to say it.

He was influenced by the early Jesuits in Spain, including Blessed Peter Faber and St. Francisco de Villanueva. 2. **Personal Tragedies:** After his father's death, Alfonso took over the family business, which eventually went bankrupt. He also suffered the loss of his wife, three children, and his mother. 3. **Spiritual Awakening:** In the face of these failures and personal tragedies, Alfonso experienced a profound spiritual awakening. He recognized the wickedness of his life and saw the majesty of God in his own misery. 4. **Entrance into the Society of Jesus:** At the age of 40, Alfonso entered the Society of Jesus as a lay brother. After a six-month novitiate, he became the doorkeeper at the Jesuit College of Mount Zion on the Island of Palma de Majorca. 5. **Humble Service:** Alfonso served as the doorkeeper for 45 years. Despite his humble position, his saintly behavior and wisdom attracted numerous people seeking his spiritual advice. 6. **Gift for Spiritual Conversation:** He possessed a special gift for spiritual conversation, and his superior affirmed that no spiritual treatise produced as much spiritual good as contact with him. He became known as the Doctor of Majorca. 7. **Contemplation of God's Grandeur:** Alfonso contemplated the grandeur of God, recognizing the insignificance of human existence without God. His deep sense of God's greatness led to his repentance and desire to know more about God. 8. **Ecstatic Experience:** In the last three days of his life, after his final Communion, St. Alfonso remained in ecstasy, experiencing overwhelming happiness and joy. 9. **Death and Canonization:** He died on October 31, 1617. Witnesses decided to have a faithful picture of him drawn due to the profound joy evident on his face during his last days. Let us ask St. Alfonso Rodriguez to help us follow his example of humility, his sense of the grandeur of God, and his fruitful conversations. St. Alfonso Rodriguez, pray for us!

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Friday, October 27th, 2023 – King St. Kaleb 1. **6th Century Ethiopia:** Ethiopia was ruled by King St. Kaleb or Elesbaan, who was raised in the Catholic Faith from childhood and ruled his country wisely and justly. 2. **Persecution by King Dunaan:** Across the Red Sea, Arabia was ruled by King Dunaan, who apostatized from the Catholic Faith and persecuted the Bishops, clergy, and Catholics, destroying churches and killing thousands without trial. 3. **Request for Assistance:** Emperor Justinian I of the Eastern Roman Empire called on King Elesbaan to punish Dunaan and end the persecution. 4. **Crusade Against Dunaan:** King Elesbaan gathered his army, crossed the Red Sea, defeated Dunaan, executed him, restored the Bishop to his diocese, and rebuilt the churches in Arabia. 5. **Return to Ethiopia:** After accomplishing his mission, King Elesbaan returned to Ethiopia and continued to rule wisely, instructing his son in the Catholic Faith and governance. 6. **Renunciation of Kingship:** King Elesbaan later renounced his title and became a hermit, retiring to a monastery in the mountains. 7. **Life as a Hermit:** Disguised as a hermit, he lived a life dedicated to prayer, obedience, and work in solitude. 8. **Death:** He died with a reputation of sanctity on October 27, 532, and is often depicted as a solitary hermit holding a cross with a crown at his feet. Three vital lessons emerge: Firstly, it's a misconception in the West that Eastern peoples aren't destined for the Catholic Church. The Church's presence in Ethiopia long predates Western discoveries and crusades. This highlights that all nations have a calling to the Catholic Church, and faithfulness hinges solely on divine grace. Secondly, St. Elesbaan's story underscores the significance of solitude. He relinquished his throne, glory, and comforts, opting for a hermit's life in the desert, leaving a lasting mark in Church history. Thirdly, St. Elesbaan exemplifies the rich cultural contribution of the black race. It's crucial to understand their vocation beyond mere material pursuits, appreciating figures like the black Magi King Balthazar, symbolizing spiritual elevation. Despite being a royal warrior, St. Elesbaan's recognition remains underrated, possibly due to biases favoring sentimental piety over his royal and militant legacy. Efforts should challenge this skewed perspective. King St. Kaleb, pray for us! INTRO – Happy Friday When someone uses the OH MY GOD statement. I say Praise be His Holy Name. I dare you to say it.

St. Cedd baptized him. 3. **Excommunicated Count:** St. Cedd excommunicated a Count who was in an unlawful and scandalous marriage and forbade the faithful from entering the Count's house and dining with him. 4. **Disobedience of the King:** King Sigeberht continued to visit the Count's house, despite St. Cedd's order. One day, after attending a lavish dinner at the Count's castle, he encountered St. Cedd. 5. **Meeting Between King and Saint:** The King and St. Cedd, both on horseback, dismounted to greet each other.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Tuesday, October 24th, 2023 – St. Raphael the Archangel St. Raphael is an archangel featured in the Book of Tobit in the Bible. St. Raphael is one of the seven archangels who stand before the throne of God. His name means "God heals" in Hebrew, reflecting his role as a divine healer and guide. In the story, Raphael aids Tobias, a young man on a journey to retrieve his father Tobit's money. Disguised as a human, Raphael offers guidance, healing Tobit's blindness. Along the way, Raphael assists Tobias in marrying Sarah, protecting her from a demon. 1. **The Concept of Heavenly Court:** The idea of Heaven as a true court, resembling earthly courts, was more prominent in the past. God, analogous to a king, stands before Angels and Saints, creating a hierarchical and structured heavenly order. 2. **Hierarchy and Protocol:** In both earthly and heavenly courts, there is a hierarchy of functions, dignities, and mediations. Angels serve as intercessors and rulers of men, mediating between individuals and God. 3. **Role of Archangels:** St. Raphael is depicted as an eminent intercessor, a special patron of the sick and travelers. He is one of the highest angelic spirits, assisting God and interceding for human prayers. 4. **Preparation for Heaven:** Loving and appreciating earthly realities that resemble heavenly order, such as hierarchy, nobility, and distinction, prepares the soul for Heaven. Amidst chaos on Earth, the desire for Heaven becomes essential for psychological well-being. 5. **Splendor of Angels:** The splendor of even the lowest choir of Angels, such as Guardian Angels, far surpasses human nature. St. Raphael's magnificence is beyond human comprehension, indicating the grandeur of heavenly beings. 7. **Visualizing St. Raphael:** St. Raphael's grandeur can be compared to earthly magnificence and sanctity. Imagining the scene of St. Louis speaking with his mother gives an idea of the elevated nature of St. Raphael in Heaven. 8. **Joy in Contemplating St. Raphael:** St. Raphael, akin to St. Louis in Heaven, brings joy to those contemplating him. His presence offers hope and consolation, especially in the increasingly sad days on Earth. Let us ask him to help us to reach Heaven in order to contemplate him. We should also ask him to help us maintain a constant consideration of the celestial order to give us consolation and the hope of Heaven and the Reign of Mary in the increasingly sad days in which we live. St. Raphael the Archangel, 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, October 23rd, 2023 – St. Anthony Mary Claret 1. **Early Life and Conversion:** Anthony Mary Claret (1807-1870) was initially a mediocre Catholic. His life changed after a near-death experience when he called on the Blessed Virgin for help. He converted and became an ordained priest, dedicating himself to missionary work. 2. **Missionary Work:** Claret became a renowned orator, known for his powerful voice and ability to move crowds. He preached zealously, often moving his audiences to tears. He had extraordinary charismas, including prophecies and exorcisms, which impressed and attracted people. 3. **Founding the Claretians:** Claret founded the Missionary Sons of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, also known as the Claretians. He understood the importance of traditional methods in preaching and attracting people to the faith. 4. **Archbishop of Santiago:** Claret was appointed Archbishop of Santiago, Cuba. He faced opposition from Freemasonry, which was deeply entrenched in Cuba. His efforts to correct the Island's bad customs and morals led to numerous attempts on his life. 5. **Exile and Curse of Cuba:** Due to Masonic pressures, Claret was removed from Cuba and appointed as Patriarch of India. Before leaving, he cursed Cuba, predicting its spiritual decline. His curse was realized with Cuba's independence, marked by corruption and immorality. 6. **Influence on Queen Isabella II:** Claret influenced Queen Isabella II, who initially supported liberalism. However, she changed her stance under Claret's influence, which led to her removal from power by Masonic forces. 7. **Vatican Council I:** Claret participated in Vatican Council I. He vehemently censured liberal Bishops opposing Papal Infallibility. His strong reaction led to a stroke, from which he never recovered. St. Anthony Mary Claret is our patron Saint under many different titles: the patron of those who are leading mediocre lives and need to convert to serve the Catholic cause; the patron of the faithful who promote devotion to Our Lady; the patron of counter-revolutionaries because of his action in Cuba and Spain; the patron of the those who follow the traditional methods of Catholic apostolate with the simple people and spurn the liberal novelties; the patron of those who fight for the Papacy against liberal Bishops.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Tuesday, October 17th, 2023 – St. Margaret Mary Alacoque 1. **Background of the Devotion:** St. Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690) received revelations of the Sacred Heart of Jesus during a time when the revolutionary process and corruption of customs were prevalent. 2. **Purpose of the Devotion:** The Sacred Heart of Jesus appeared to St. Margaret Mary, opening a new source of graces for souls. Devotion to the Sacred Heart attracted souls to conversion and was meant to counteract the ongoing apostasy. 3. **Promotion of the Devotion:** Devotion to the Sacred Heart spread widely within the Church, gaining popularity in the 19th century. Prominent figures like St. John Eudes vigorously promoted this devotion, and Popes, including Leo XIII, supported it. 4. **Attack on the Devotion:** In the early pontificate of Pius XI, opposition to the devotion began. Modernist influences started to rise, and members of movements like Catholic Action and the liturgical movement attacked the devotion, considering it sentimental and lacking theological depth. 5. **Defamatory Campaign:** A defamatory campaign was launched against the devotion, labeling it as effeminate and suitable only for poorly formed Catholics. Anyone defending the devotion would face exclusion from these movements. 6. **Silencing the Devotion:** A more dangerous maneuver involved burying the devotion in silence. Promotion ceased, churches were no longer built in honor of the Sacred Heart, and June devotions dedicated to the Sacred Heart dwindled. 7. **Fading Away of Devotion:** Devotion to the Sacred Heart almost completely disappeared within the Church. Pilgrimage sites like Paray-le-Monial, where St. Margaret Mary received the revelations, became neglected and deserted. 8. **Grave Rejection:** The rejection of the devotion to the Sacred Heart symbolizes a deep ingratitude. It parallels the centurion's piercing of Christ's Heart, but unlike the centurion, there is no cure for the spiritual blindness caused by this rejection. 9. **Current State of the Church:** The rejection of the Sacred Heart devotion signifies a severe spiritual crisis within the Church. Blind leaders are leading the blind, and the faithful are moving further away from the true path. Let us implore the Sacred Heart of Jesus through St. Margaret Mary Alacoque that this situation end, and that both a new Christendom and a restored Holy Mother Church be reinstalled on this earth. St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, 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.

His significant accomplishments were recognized, and he was praised as a destroyer of heresies and a scourge of evil men. 8. **Intellectual Brilliance:** St. Albert's brilliance was evident in his multifaceted talents – as an intellectual, contemplative, and man of action.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Friday, October 13th, 2023 – Jacinta & Francisco of Fatima 1. **Introduction of Jacinta and Francisco:** Jacinta, always serious, and Francisco, with the soul of a hermit, were the children of Fatima, the true spiritual directors being Our Lady herself. 2. **Spiritual Molding:** Our Lady molded the children into authentic heroes. Through her guidance, the children made remarkable progress in their spiritual journey, resembling the teachings of St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort: progress in the school of the Virgin was rapid and profound. 3. **Jacinta's Sanctity:** Jacinta possessed a seriousness and maturity beyond her years. Her actions reflected the presence of God, and she reprimanded others when they offended God. 4. **Francisco's Contemplative Life:** Francisco was attracted to an ascetic and contemplative life. He often withdrew to secluded places to pray and console Jesus, who he believed was sad due to humanity's sins. 5. **The Children's Dedication:** The children spent long hours near the tabernacle in the church. They communicated with the "Hidden Jesus" and were excused from school lessons due to their special relationship with Our Lady. 6. **Transformation by Our Lady:** Our Lady's work in the souls of Jacinta and Francisco symbolizes a profound, grace-filled transformation. Similar to the Secret of Mary described by St. Louis Grignion de Montfort, this transformation happened smoothly and without the children realizing it. Our Lady changed them profoundly through her apparitions. 7. **Symbolic Value of the Transformation:** The transformation of Jacinta and Francisco symbolizes the future Reign of Mary and the triumph of her Immaculate Heart. They serve as intercessors for those who wish to undergo a similar transformation, paving the way for the Reign of Mary on earth. 8. **Prayers for Transformation:** Believers are encouraged to ask Jacinta and Francisco for their intercession, praying that the Reign of Mary begins in them. They are natural intercessors for those spreading and living the Fatima message. 9. **Connection between Fatima and the Counter-Revolution:** Acknowledging the decadence and approaching ruin of the present-day world, as prophesied at Fatima, is vital for spiritual growth. By understanding the gravity of the situation, spiritual fervor increases. 10. **Prayers for the Reign of Mary:** Believers are urged to fervently ask, through Jacinta and Francisco's intercession, for the speedy arrival of the Reign of Mary. They should plead with Our Lady to intervene in worldly events, obstruct the plans of her adversaries, and establish her Reign on earth, demolishing evil designs. Jacinta & Francisco, pray for us!

His father, King Aelle, was deposed, and Edwin was raised in exile. 2. **Divine Prediction:** A pagan Edwin met a stranger who predicted the restoration of his kingdom if he promised to follow instructions about his salvation. Edwin agreed, and the stranger laid his hand upon Edwin's head as a sign. 3. **Recovery of the Kingdom:** Due to various circumstances, Edwin recovered the Kingdom of Deira and later became the King of all Northumbria, one of the seven parts into which England was divided at the time. 4. **Marriage and Conversion:** After the death of his first wife, Edwin married the Catholic Princess Ethelburga.

St. Paulinus, Archbishop of York, influenced him positively. 5. **Conversion and Baptism:** Edwin converted to Christianity after a series of events, including a failed assassination attempt and the birth of his daughter Enflaed, the first Catholic baptized in his kingdom.

Prof. Plinio draws parallels with Christ’s apparent defeat, emphasizing that from defeats, great victories can emerge. 9. **Acceptance of Defeats:** Defeats in the fight against the Revolution should be accepted as part of the battle. Defeats are normal in any war, and a manly spirit faces them and continues the fight for the Catholic cause. 10. **Model of Fortitude:** St. Edwin’s life serves as a model of fortitude and perseverance in the fight against the Revolution, whether in victory or defeat. His story teaches the importance of enduring in the battle for the Catholic faith. St. Edwin, pray for us! INTRO – Happy Wednesday When someone uses the OH MY GOD statement.

She is the Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Catholic doctrine. 2. **Hierarchy in Creation:** God's work is nuanced and hierarchical. The nuances in Creation and in the Catholic Church reflect the depth and beauty of God's plan. Even apparent contradictions often conceal a deeper reality. 3. **Incarnation and Mary's Role:** God chose to unite with human nature, dignifying all of Creation. Mary's acceptance of this union placed her in a privileged position, making her the universal mediatrix between God and Creation. 4. **Mary's Titles and Virtues:** Mary is venerated under various titles and aspects, reflecting her multifaceted personality. While "Mother of God" is crucial, ignoring her other qualities and virtues simplifies her importance. 5. **Mary's Relation with Humanity:** As the Mother of God, Mary is also the Mother of all humanity. Devotion to Our Lady involves recognizing her maternal role in our lives, which can manifest in countless ways. 6. **Mary's Maternal Mercy:** Mary exercises a maternal mercy towards humanity. She forgives and protects, even in the face of unpardonable faults, opening a door of mercy that no one can close. 7. **Mary's Mercy for the Faithful:** Those fighting for the defense of the Church and the Reign of Mary receive an unlimited credit of mercy from Our Lady.
