The Catholic Defender At the 2016 Republican Convention At Cleveland Ohio
I began this journey basically from a challenge by one of our co-hosts on our Inside Politics series when Matthew Pryor of Troy Michigan spoke of possibly making it to the convention himself to support the Delegates. I thought about that as well and it was during one of our recent shows that I made the decision to make the trip from Madison Alabama to Cleveland Ohio. In order to make such a trip I was able to get leave time from work, that was huge, but I didn't want to g


The Catholic Defender: The Rosary, God's Beads Of Love
Johnny Cash wrote a song called, "Train of Love" which really has no connection with the Rosary other than the thought that these beads we use as a tool come from a position of love. Yet, the Rosary is a weapon of battle. Those who are faithful to the Rosary most of the time are more dedicated Catholics, that is my observation. The Bible speaks of spiritual warfare and certainly we are in the middle of it coming on just about every front of life. Our families are deeply

The Rosary shall be a powerful armor against hell, it will destroy vice, decrease sin, and defeat heresies. What a great sign of predestination for those who are devoted to the Rosary. A promise coming from the Virgin Mary, the Mother of Jesus offering the Rosary as a "powerful armor against hell". St. Padre Pio, the stigmata priest, exclaimed that the Rosa

I promise my special protection and the greatest graces to all those who shall recite the Rosary. From the time of the Apostolic age, the Church has always held high Mother Mary's special protection against evil. St. Justin Martyr and St. Irenaeus recognized Mother Mary as the "New Eve" that she is the advocate of those abandoned. The Rosary is such an i


The Catholic Defender: The 15 Promises Our Lady gave for the Rosary. The First Promise
https://deepertruthdon.podbean.com/e/deepertruth-the-15-promises-our-lady-gave-for-the-rosary-the-first-promise/ 1. Whosoever shall faithfully serve me by the recitation of the Rosary shall receive signal graces. [A signal grace may be a simple sign in daily life that answers a question made in prayer or points towards God’s will. For example, seeing a rose after finishing a novena to St. Therese of Lisieux could be considered a signal grace. Signal graces are often subtle or


The Catholic Defender: The Hail Mary Prayer
https://deepertruthdon.podbean.com/e/deepertruth-the-hail-mary-prayer-1733538978/ The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.” But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary,


The Catholic Defender: Hail Holy Queen
Hear, O daughter, consider, and incline your ear; forget your people and your father’s house; and the king will desire your beauty. Since he is your lord, bow to him; the people of Tyre will sue your favor with gifts, the richest of the people with all kinds of wealth. The princess is decked in her chamber with gold-woven robes; in many-colored robes she is led to the king, with her virgin companions, her escort, in her train. Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, o

The Act of Contrition: O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly reso


The Catholic Defender: The Stations Of The Cross Excellent on the Abortion Front Line
https://deepertruthdon.podbean.com/e/deepertruth-the-stations-of-the-cross-with-donna-cori-gibson-s-stations/ One of my all time favorite devotions is the Stations of the Cross. This devotion has played an important part in my spiritual formation. I love many of the traditions built around this great devotion. I remember reading how the Blackfoot Indians would make a 7 mile trek on their Reservation in full colorful ancestral clothing bringing the culture into it. The old

Another powerful Eucharistic Miracle will follow this offering of love. To Jesus through Mary, GregoryMary The Patristic Age The Fathers of the Church were those sa
