    AnnunciationBlessed Virgin Mary.Immaculate ConceptionPope Pius IX

    Bible References

    Luke 1:26-38

    Friends, today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. 

    In 1854, Pope Pius IX declared the dogma of the Immaculate Conception—the truth that Mary, through a special grace, was preserved free from original sin from the first moment of her conception. 

    Were this not the case, the angel would not have referred to her at the Annunciation as Kecharitomene (full of grace). Why would God do such a thing? And wouldn’t this imply that Mary does not need to be redeemed? 

    The traditional answer is that God wanted to prepare a worthy vessel for the reception of his Word. Just as the Holy of Holies in the temple was kept pure and inviolate, so the definitive Temple, the true Ark of the Covenant, which is Mary herself, should all the more be untrammeled. 

    Bl. John Duns Scotus explained that Mary is indeed redeemed by the grace of her Son, but since that grace exists outside of time, it can be applied in a way that transcends the ordinary rhythms of time. Therefore, Mary, by a kind of preemptive strike, was delivered by Christ’s grace from original sin.

    1st wk of Advent

    Bible References

    Matthew 9:27-31

    Friends, today in our Gospel, two blind men beg Jesus to heal them.

    Blindness in the Bible is very often a symbol of spiritual blindness: the incapacity to see what truly matters. Focused on the worldly goods of wealth, pleasure, power, and honor, most people don’t see how blind they are to the truly important things: giving oneself to the grace of God and living a life of love. If you have not surrendered to the grace of God, you are blind. How wonderful it is, then, that these men in the Gospel can cry out to Jesus in their need.

    They are, of course, making a petition for physical healing, but it’s much more than that for us. It’s asking for that one thing that finally matters: spiritual vision—to know what my life is about, to know the big picture, to know where I’m going. You can have all the wealth, pleasure, honor, and power you want. You can have all the worldly goods you could desire. But if you don’t see spiritually, it will do you no good; it will probably destroy you.

  • FEAR NOT THOSE WHO CAN DESTROY THE BODY!

    America is a nation of SPECTATORS!
    #Traitors and Cowards

    A disgrace to your ancestors...

    I happen to agree with the man here...

    If people sit back quietly and watch as their rights are stripped away, their land is stolen, and even as "government" tries real hard to assassinate you...

    Then you ARE those things, and fully deserve to die,
    exactly as they have planned for you

  • Shit Hits Fan When Trump Takes Office – Larry Klayman - Greg Hunter
    https://rumble.com/v5vpftk-shit-hits-fan-when-trump-takes-office-larry-klayman.html

    Renowned Attorney Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and later Freedom Watch, is back with an update on the crime and violence cooking with the commie Dems, RINO’s and Deep State. First, the crime coverup is the pardon of Hunter Biden that spans 10 years of alleged crime. First Lady Jill Biden is elated about the pardon for son Hunter. Klayman says, “The fact that Jill Biden is so happy about this is because she is one of the actors and conspirators in the bribery, which took place with regard to communist China, Ukraine and Russia. She benefitted by it. Who was the money launderer? Her son, Hunter Biden. She could have been indicted along with Hunter as well as brother James of the Biden crime family for the bribery and money laundering. . . . I think his brother James will get a pardon because he’s dead to rights with what has been uncovered. I think more pardons are coming. Joe Biden does not care at this point. The guy has no legitimate reputation.”

    Klayman predicted just about three weeks ago, “The communists, the atheists, the radicals and the Left . . . are going to get violent, and we better be prepared for that.”

    What happened recently is there have been multiple death threats against Donald Trump’s cabinet picks. Klayman says, “The same is true with Kash Patel. The fact they want to take his head off means he is perceived to be a threat. It’s the same thing in regard to Pete Hegseth. It’s the same thing in regard to Tulsi Gabbard. They don’t like these people because they cannot be controlled. They don’t like Musk and, God forbid, I hope it does not happen, but I think the Left is going to try to kill Musk along with Trump again. I have had death threats myself recently, and this is where we are. You got to do what you got to do. The Founding Fathers did not worry about it. They did it under the Grace of God. Divine Providence is what they talk about in the Declaration of Independence.”

    This is just the opening act from the Left. Klayman says “They are the disciples of Karl Marx, which are disciples of the devil. . . . As I predicted in our last podcast, the violence is just beginning once Trump takes office and starts implementing what he says he is going to do with regard to the border, the criminal justice system, with regard to the Middle East and many other things. . . .Trump just threatened Iran if the hostages are not released. You are going to get all these radical terrorist sympathizers that will come out of the woodwork on that. Already, Iran has sent hit squads to try to kill Trump. This has not come to fruition yet . . .but once he becomes President, all hell is going to break loose. You can bet that is going to happen. . . . Trump is up against a number of individuals in the House and in the Senate that will do whatever they can to block Trump. So, whenever he actually takes executive action and pushes things through, excuse the French, the shit is going to hit the fan. You are going to see them in the streets, as we saw in the last few weeks, with the reported attempts to kill the Trump nominees. It’s there.”

  • Elvis Presley, known as the "King. Was an American singer, actor, and cultural he influence on music and culture remains unmatched. His early interest in gospel music shaped his style, blending rock, country, and blues into a revolutionary sound.

    Presley gained national attention with hits like Heartbreak Hotel (1956), Hound Dog, and Jailhouse Rock. His stage presence, charming looks, and charisma made him an instant star. Beyond music, Elvis starred in over 30 films, including Love Me Tender (1956) and Viva Las Vegas (1964).

    In the 1960s, Elvis dominated the charts but faced challenges from the counterculture movement. A 1968 television special marked his comeback and revitalized his career, showcasing his enduring appeal. In the 1970s, Las Vegas and his tours solidified his legend.

    Elvis struggled with prescription drug dependency. Despite the premature end of his career, his legacy continues through his music, Graceland (his home museum), and millions of fans worldwide.
