Ursula Giuliani (who will later become Sister Veronica Giuliani) was born on December 27, 1660, in Mercatello, a small village in the Province of the Marches in Italy. Her father was a well-respected member of society. Her mother was a deeply religious woman. She would die before she reached her 40th birthday, leaving Ursula and her four surviving siblings (two having died) to their father’s care. But before she died, her mother would consecrate each of her five children to the precious Five Wounds of Our Lord Jesus. To the Wound in Our Lord’s Side, she entrusted Ursula, who was all of seven years old. Without her understanding the full implication of her mother’s bequest, nevertheless this was the beginning of Ursula's betrothal to Jesus’ Heart, the very Heart Which bled on the Cross.

How does a just king, a loyal Defender of the Faith, turn on all that he vowed to protect, betraying Church and country? Was it the limitless power he had, the power to decide between life and death, that gave birth to him placing himself above his Pope and Church? Was it the example of other Henrys before him? This chapter is about one man's infamy and the powerful men and Martyrs God raised up to defend His Church. But before we speak of King Henry VIII, and the Martyrs who died rather than deny the Church, we want to touch briefly on some of his predecessors. Support the show

WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT? WHAT HAPPENED IN LOURDES? Why did Mary come? What was so important at this time in history, in this country? It’s easy in retrospect to understand the need for divine intervention in 1858. In 1854, in the midst of this, and in the face of massive opposition, one of Mary’s staunchest supporters, Pope Pius IX proclaimed to the world what had been believed down through the centuries, but had never been made a Dogma of the Church. THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION was declared fact. Mother Mary found a remote town of no great importance, and within that speck on the earth, she chose a simple child of the poorest family in the region, and led her to a garbage dump. From that vantage point she was to send out a message to the world for all time, loud and clear, confirmation of Pope Pius’ IX dogma, in the statement she made in the 16th Apparition on the Feast of the Annunciation, I AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION About the Authors: Bob and Penny Lord are renowned Catholic authors of many best selling books about the Catholic Faith.

When Our Lord wants a message to get out to His Church, he raises up a powerful Saint to do the task. Such a Saint was Gertrude the Great! She was the one to plant the seed which would bloom through the hands of another powerful Saint and visionary, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, four centuries later, and subsequently through Saint Faustina Kowalska in the 20th Century, through the Mission of Divine Mercy. Our Lord's mandate to St. Gertrude was to herald devotion to His Most Sacred Heart. She came to us in the Thirteenth Century, a time of rampant heresy and glorious victory. The Lord promised that His Church, although besieged by persecution, would triumph in the end; in the Thirteenth Century, with His Infinite Humility, He raised up great Saints to bring this about. St. Gertrude received the title "the Great" partially because of the extraordinary gifts she received from the Lord, but we believe more for her total dedication to her Spouse Jesus.

The Second Sorrowful Mystery of the Rosary Our Lord Jesus loves us so much, He made detailed preparations for our well-being, right up to the end of His life. He wanted to have a last supper with His disciples. He had instructions for them. He wanted to be sure they understood their role in Salvation History, and how they were to conduct themselves. He wanted to leave them and His Church ammunition for the days ahead. We have a great opportunity to take some of the pressure off Jesus' Head in the Garden of Gethsemane. Let's give up sinning! If each of us commits one less sin, or gives up sinning altogether, at least some of that pain will be alleviated. If we give up sins, His suffering will be less. And we'll really feel pretty good about ourselves. Try it! Do it! Related Items: Rosary Book Rosary ebooks How to Pray the Rosary stevebaileymusic7@gmail.com Support the show

We believe the Eucharist has been the underlying thread which has kept the Catholic Church going since the days of Our Lord Jesus. This is what has held us together through the most difficult periods in our history. We were told by a Church historian that the newly formed Church would not have survived two hundred years if it had not been for Our Lord Jesus in the Eucharist. The Eucharist - Source and Summit We know the Catholic Catechism calls the Eucharist the “Source and Summit of Ecclesial Life.” All other Sacraments and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward It. For in the Blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ Himself, References: The Luminous Mysteries Website:: http://www.bobandpennylord.com Support the show

Jesus Dies on the Cross "`If you're the Son of God, come down from that Cross. Come down and we'll believe.' Sure they will believe; they'll believe anything, just no Cross. No mortification, no self-denial." The shrill, piercing cry of the aging Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen ricocheted off the walls of the Church of St. Agnes, in New York City, on Good Friday, April 8, 1977. He continued, "Many say `I'll believe anything! I'll believe He's divine! I will believe in His Church; I will believe in His pontiff, only no Cross! no sacrifice!'" Zealously love our Lord Jesus, and our brothers and sisters. Go to Him. He's waiting for you. Then see what graces will be bestowed upon your family, the Church, our country, the world by our Lord Who will not be surpassed in generosity.

Saint Rosalia decided at a critical period in her life to become a hermit and live a life of prayer. The world as she knew it, held no attraction to her. She wanted to devote her life to Our Lord Jesus. She gathered a few possessions--a wooden crucifix, a silver Greek cross, another of terracotta, a string of one large and 12 small prayer beads, and retired to a cave in Quisquina, amidst rocks and boulders, the better to be assured of peace and solitude with her Savior. There in the warmth of her love for our Beloved Lord, she made the decision to live the solitary life of a hermit. She abandoned the world in order to follow Jesus to the absence of all others.

Today I want to discuss Saint Joseph and in particular the book that has just been published about Consecration to Saint Joseph. Certainly we are in much much need of the intercession of Saint Joseph at this time. In the midst of crisis, confusion, and a world at war with the Church, it's time to come home again to our spiritual father, St. Joseph. In this richly researched and lovingly presented program of consecration to St. Joseph, Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, brings to life the wonders, the power, and the ceaseless love of St. Joseph, Universal Patron of the Church and the Terror of Demons. "Devotion to Saint Joseph is one of the choicest graces that God can give to a soul., for it is tantamount to revealing the entire treasury of Our Lord's graces. When God wishes to raise a soul to greater heights, He unites it to Saint Joseph by giving it a strong love for the good Saint."

Saint Frances of Rome had an Angel as her companion for over 27 years to guide and protect her. Her community, the Oblates of Mary are still in existence and still wear the clothes of the noble ladies of Saint Frances' time. In 1608, Frances was recognized by the Church and raised officially to the Communion of Saints. The church where she is buried was renamed Santa Francesca Romana. Neither one of the two Angels who were her companions for the last twenty-seven years of her life was her Guardian Angel. As St. Thomas Aquinas said, when someone is chosen to lead or to direct others in the way of holiness, he or she is given additional Angels of a higher Choir. And so, it was with Saint Frances.

Saint. Thomas Aquinas is so outstanding. The Lord has given him the ability to take very complex matters, such as the differences between animal, human and Angel, and break them down into logical, extremely understandable terms. He was particularly enraptured by Angels, as are we. He made a study of them. I have to believe he got a lot of help in his research from the Angels themselves, in the form of Angelic inspiration, or possibly by a direct line. We pray they will be as kind to us, as we try to explain their culture, and their role in Salvation History in general, and in our lives, more specifically. Strangely enough, it's easier to salute their power and accomplishments, than it is to actually explain them. However, we have an urgency to try. We want you to feel as strongly about them, as close to them as we do, and as in love with them as we are, so you can take advantage of the dominance the Lord has given them on our behalf. They're just waiting for you to ask them to use their strength for you. Sometimes, they don't even wait for you to ask. You know, when something wonderfully impossible has happened to you, it's usually the work of your Angels. If ever there was a time when we needed the Angels, it's now.

Pope Pius IX. He was elected Pope at one of the most crucial periods in the history of the Church, and remained at the helm of the ship of the Church longer than any Pope before or since, 32 years. He is responsible for many great things during his papacy, including, but not limited to the Dogma of Papal Infallibility, the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady, the short-lived Vatican I, and his ongoing battle against the elements who were out to destroy the Church, namely the beginnings of the New Age movement, and the liberals all over Europe, but especially Victor Emmanuel in Italy, who not only plotted to steal the papal lands, he ultimately forced our Pope to end his pontificate as a self-imposed prisoner inside the Vatican walls. These and many other attacks made against Pope Pius IX, lovingly called Pio Nonno, caused him much grief throughout his Papacy, but the Lord kept him in charge for for 32 years for a good reason; there was a job to be done! God knew Pius IX could get the job done! Browse our Popes Collection Support the show
