The Three Steps to Heaven

by the Priests of the Congregation of St. Paul, 1893

  
"Blessed is the man whose help is from thee; in his heart he hath disposed to ascend by steps."--Psalm Ixxxviii. 6. 
 

Next Thursday the Church will celebrate the feast of the Ascension of our Lord; the day on which His sojourn in this vale of tears came to an end, when He entered upon the possession of that glory which He had won by His obedience in this world. In the Collect which is said at Mass on this feast we ask ''that we who believe that Thy only Son, our Redeemer, ascended this day into heaven, may also have our hearts fixed on heavenly things." 

Heaven, Hell, and Atheism: A Reply to Jack Bentz, S.J.

Heaven, Hell, and Atheism: A Reply to Jack Bentz, S.J.

We all know that the state of “Catholic theology” in the Novus Ordo Sect is nothing short of appalling, and we hardly need any more evidence for it. However, it is always useful to see an illustration of just how bad it really is. An example of that was unwittingly given on Apr. 19 by a Jesuit Novus Ordo priest named Jack Bentz, who published an article entitled “Was Pope Francis right to tell a child his atheist dad may be in heaven?” in the apostate Modernist rag America.

HEAVEN OPENED BY THE PRACTICE OF THE THREE HAIL MARY'S

HEAVEN OPENED BY THE PRACTICE OF THE  THREE HAIL MARY'S

SOURCE

One of the greatest means of salvation, and one of the surest signs of predestination, is unquestionably, the devotion to the Most Blessed Virgin Mary. All the holy doctors of the Church are unanimous in saying with St. Alphonsus Liguori: "A devout servant of Mary shall never perish."
The chief thing is to persevere faithfully until death in this devotion.
Can there be an easier or more adaptable practice for all than the recitation each day of three Ave Marias in honor of the privileges conferred by the Adorable Trinity on the Blessed Virgin?

Two Roads: Heaven or Hell

On Those Who Prefer to Follow the Devil, Rather than Christ

by Fr. Francis Hunolt, 1740

 

Subject: During these days especially, each one has to choose between following the devil with the children of the world, and following Jesus Christ with the children of God; therefore each one should make up his mind as to which he will follow.

On the Deplorable State Of a Christian Who Is Cold Toward Heaven

On the Deplorable State Of a Christian Who Is Cold Toward Heaven

by Rev. William Gahan, 1825

Domine bonum est nos hic esse.--Matt. c. xvii. v. 4.

O Lord, it is good for us to be here.-- Matt. c. xvii. v. 4.

The Church, in order to strengthen the faith, nourish the hope, inflame the charity, and animate the zeal of her children in this holy time of penance and mortification, proposes for the subject of this day's gospel the mystery of the glorious transfiguration of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, which happened on Mount Thabor in the presence of three of His disciples, Peter, James, and John his brother; for as these were afterwards to be the sad eye witnesses of His bloody agony in the garden of Gethsemani, and of His crucifixion on Mount Calvary, it was expedient that they should likewise be spectators of the glorious transfiguration of His sacred humanity, and behold a transient ray of the splendor and majesty of His divinity displayed on Mount Thabor.

More propaganda to arouse a clash between Kingdoms as Jesus warned...

An Egyptian cleric has earned the ire of the country’s Christian community by claiming that the Prophet Mohammed would marry Mary, the mother of Jesus, in heaven.

Dr. Salem Abdel Galil, a scholar at the prestigious Al-Azhar University in Cairo, made the inflammatory remarks on his TV show, “Muslims are asking.”

Fr. Voigt, "Are you "Good" enough to attain heaven?"

Are you "good" enough for the kingdom of God?  So many think that if you are "good" naturally you will go to heaven.  But there are many who put on the mask of "goodness" without the substance.  Our Lord exposes this in his parable of the wheat and the tares.  The sower sowed good seed but the evil one who always operates under cover of darkness comes and sows a seed that imitates but does not have substance as the wheat seed.

Our Conversation Is In Heaven

Our Conversation Is In Heaven

By: Eric Gajewski

Phil 3:17-21 Be ye followers of me, brethren, and observe them who walk so as you have our model. [18] For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping), that they are enemies of the cross of Christ; [19] Whose end is destruction; whose God is their belly; and whose glory is in their shame; who mind earthly things. [20] But our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ, [21] Who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue all things unto himself.

 

The things which we talk about are those things which truly occupy our hearts and minds.  We can reveal that which is within in our everyday conversations and yet most pay no attention.  Today, we ought reflect in how we are walking with Christ by watching what we say.  Do we speak about earthly things the majority of the time or do we speak of heavenly things?  The Conciliar Church is interested in building up man’s utopia here on earth without the aid of the Catholic Faith.  Go figure that one out.  This new tower of babel like its predecessor shall fall.  As the old adage goes the taller they are the harder they fall and God is simply smiling as rebellious men try to build higher and higher.  To say this fall will crush a few egos is to put it mildly.  Do we follow the path of Tradition and walk like Paul or do we follow the Nimrods of our day following in the path of Destruction?  Nay, our conversation ought be wholly wrapped up in heavenly things and those things which are eternal as opposed to those things which are temporal

Saint Quote of the Day- Sixth Weapon of the Memory

'The sixth weapon is the memory of the goods of paradise which are prepared for those who lawfully struggle by abandoning all the vain pleasures of the present life in accord with the saying of the most holy doctor Saint Augustine that it is impossible to enjoy present goods and future ones too. So, dear sisters, be content not to have in this world any pleasure or any beloved, and do not grow tired of denying your own will, remembering what our patriarch St. Francis said, that is, that the most excellent and greatest gift that God's servant can receive from God in this world is to conquer himself by denying his own will. So he said: "So great is the good that I behold / that every wound is beloved by me," in order to show how, through the memory of eternal things, he rejoiced in suffering evil.'

St. Catherine of Bologna

 

Ecclesiasticus 43:1
The firmament on high is his beauty, the beauty of heaven with its glorious shew.

Saint Quote Of The Day- Christ the Victor

'The Lord, though he was God, became man. He suffered for the sake of whose who suffer, he was bound for those in bonds, condemned for the guilty, buried for those who lie in the grave; but he rose from the dead, and cried aloud: "Who will contend with me? Let him confront me." I have freed the condemned, brought the dead back to life, raised men from their graves. Who has anything to say against me? I, he said, am the Christ; I have destroyed death, triumphed over the enemy, trampled hell underfoot, bound the strong one, and taken men up to the heights of heaven: I am the Christ.'

St. Melito of Sardis

Acts Of Apostles 3:15
But the author of life you killed, whom God hath raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.

St. Alphonus Liguori – THOUGHTS ABOUT HEAVEN

 In this days Gospel we read, that wishing to give His disciples a glimpse of the glory of Paradise, in order to animate them to labor for the divine honor, the Redeemer was transfigured, and allowed them to behold the splendor of His countenance. Ravished with joy and delight, St. Peter exclaimed: “Lord, it is good for us to be here.” Lord, let us remain here; let us never more depart from this place; for, the sight of Thy beauty consoles us more than all the delights of the earth.

Fr. Campbell- Signposts to Heaven

“Rejoice, O Jerusalem!” So begins the Introit of today’s Holy Mass. We rejoice today because we are half way through the penitential season of Lent, and that much nearer to our goal, which is Easter Sunday, the Feast of the Resurrection. But we have a further goal, an eternal Easter, for which this life is a preparation. God has made it easy for us. The goal is clear, the directions are sure. Yet there are those who do not, or will not, understand.

Saint Quote Of The Day- Modern Times & Conflict With Hell

'Modern times are dominated by Satan and will be more so in the future. The conflict with hell cannot be engaged by men, even the most clever. The Immaculata alone has from God the promise of victory over Satan. However, assumed into Heaven, the Mother of God now requires our cooperation. She seeks souls who will consecrate themselves entirely to her, who will become in her hands effective instruments for the defeat of Satan and the spreading of God's kingdom upon earth.'

St. Maximilian Kolbe

John 15:18
If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you.

Charity: The Eyes of an Eagle

Message by Eric Gajewski

From the Work, "Fortress of the Soul" 

 Corinthians 13:13
And now there remain faith, hope, and charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity.

Brothers and Sisters, I write to you in behalf of the Selfless Love and peace of the Union and Marriage of Jesus Christ and of His Sacred Heart and all the blessings that flow forth from It. We are reminded this day to keep in charity.  Every eagle has wings, the wings of Faith and Hope.  A Faith which must be Mary-like and which “sees” the end even wilst we are flying thru the Storm. For it is written “In the End My Immaculate Heart Shalst Triumph!” therefore need I say more?  We must keep our hope in our Holy Queen who is our life our sweetness and our Hope!  She perpetually keeps her wings, that is, her mantle, spread over the Church protecting her children. But what is even greater than the wings of any eagle is his eyes.  For Charity is the eyes of an eagle. Let us examine…
