Flipping Virginia: It was more than demographics!

Virginia Goes Blue: Pro-China Communists Claim Credit

And money came flowing into the state. We've been bought -- lock, stock, and barrel by outside money and outside influence. Please pray for my beautiful state of Virginia.  

It's St. Andrew's Feast Day and the Start of his Christmas Novena

I love St. Andrew. What a gift he had for bringing people to Christ! He brought Peter; He brought the little boy with the loaves and fishes. What a humble missionary heart he had -- not even considering himself worthy to die on the same type of cross on which our Lord suffered. 

I call my guardian angel Andrew because I want my angel to lead me to Jesus. (And for those who go ballistic about anyone calling his angel by name, I asked my spiritual director who is a priest and he affirmed it. I am not claiming to know the angel's real name, but I'm confident it's not, "Hey you!" My other choice is Angelito because I'm sure my angel is one of the little ones since I'm small potatoes on the angel assignment registry.) 

Speaking Truth to Heresy: The Growing List Calling Out the Disastrous Amazon Synod

Who are these synod fathers who betrayed Christ
by carrying the Pachamama idol into the synod hall?

A growing list of clerics and others are condemning the idol worship at the Vatican and urging reparation.

Are you on the Battlefield or Hiding in the Tall Grass?

“I do not love the sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend…”

Are you in the fight or hiding in the tall grass?

While You're Thanking God today, remember these Clerics!

Lesbian judge Sara Smolenski 

Recently two priests, with the support of their bishops refused Communion to Catholics committing grave public scandal. Their actions defended Jesus Christ from abuse and the individuals they refused from committing mortal sins of sacrilege and scandal. They acted with the heart of the Good Shepherd whom they serve in persona Christi.
Here's what Canon 915 says:

Can. 915 Those who have been excommunicated or interdicted after the imposition or declaration of the penalty and others obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to holy communion.

Our First Act of Thanksgiving Must Be to God!

I hope the first thing you do today is go to Mass. Eucharist means "thanksgiving." What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving Day than to offer thanksgiving to God for His many blessings through the Sacrament of the altar He left us.  And to help you reflect on that I offer some thoughts from the saints. May Jesus Christ be praised!

"Would that I could exhaust myself in acts of thanksgiving and gratitude towards this Divine Heart, for the great favor He shows us, in deigning to accept our help to make Him known, loved and honored; He reserves infinite blessings for all those who devote themselves to this work."   --    St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

No More Chick-Fil-A for this Chick! Back to the Beef!

I was willing to give Chick-Fil-A the benefit of the doubt until I got more information, but now that I learned more...Wow! It's clear. They not only caved, but their philanthropic bucks will now go to "charities" (e.g., Covenant House) that champion the gay agenda. The corporate bosses are liberal and they've dumped Adam and Eve for Adam and Steve.

Doug Mainwaring at LifeSiteNews tells it like it is:

The Preeminent Issue in Our Country is the Murder of the Unborn...

...and among those suffering for the little ones today are the Red Rose Rescuers. This morning I received the message below from Monica Miller, director of Citizens for a Pro-LIfe Society (CPLS). I know most of you can't be there physically, but we can all be there in prayer. Even if you read this after the hearing, please pray. God is not limited by time. Every prayer you say for these defendants, the judge and the attorneys will be heard and will pour graces down upon those crucial courtroom moments. Beg for the intercession of the Holy Spirit for the courageous defendants threatened with this draconian charge. When you consider the hands off treatment of violent ANTIFA protestors, this persecution stands in stark relief. Lord Jesus, King of the Universe, have mercy on us.

The Hour is Late when the Abomination of Desolation Desecrates the Altar of St. Peters!

You no doubt have noticed that the readings over the past weeks center around the book of Maccabees and the abominations raised up in the temple and the persecutions of Antiochus. Is it "just a coincidence" that we heard these things (and continue to hear them) during and after the pagan Amazon Synod? I don't think so. God seems to be pointing his finger at the desecrations and inviting us to open our eyes and SEE. If you haven't been fighting yet, Church Militant, it's time, way past time in fact. Today I'm writing to my bishop asking for Masses of repentance -- at the Cathedral -- and at every parish in the diocese. Whom do we serve? Pope Francis and Pachamama or Jesus Christ, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. "I call heaven and earth to witness this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Choose therefore life, that both thou and thy seed may live." (Deut 30:19)
