• Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac: [Lenten Mission] Heaven: Our True Home and Highest Goal

  We were made for Heaven, and we must live with our eyes fixed firmly on that glorious reward. Don’t aim merely for purgatory—shoot for Heaven, for if you aim low and miss, hell awaits. Let nothing distract you from your eternal end. In Heaven, there will be no sickness, no suffering, no fear, no sin—only love, peace, and the beatific vision. Meditate on it often, speak of it with joy, and long for it with all your being! Unite your daily crosses to Christ’s Passion, cling to our Blessed Mother, frequent the sacraments, especially confession and Holy Communion, and strive for virtue. Remember, your glory in Heaven depends on your love for God here and now. So run the race well, carry your cross with joy, and bring souls with you—for no one goes to Heaven or hell alone. Quotes from the Saints: St. Maximilian Kolbe – “Aim higher.” St. Francis de Sales – “Never speak or act when you’re angry.” St. Paul – Multiple references from his epistles and his sufferings. St. Bernard – “Do you wish to know what heaven is? There is nothing there that gives pleasure. There is everything that delights.” St. Augustine – “He who sings well, prays twice.” St. Alphonse (de Liguori) – Multiple quotes and references, including stories from Preparation for Death. St. Bonaventure – “What measure men put into their love of God here will be the measure of their rejoicing in God in heaven…” St. John of the Cross – Mentioned with admiration for his suffering and love of the cross. St. Pio (Padre Pio) – “The more you are afflicted, the more you should exalt… a soul in the fire of tribulation will become refined gold…” Books mentioned in this sermon: Preparation for Death – St. Alphonsus de Liguori The Four Last Things – (traditional Catholic book often attributed to Fr. Martin von Cochem) The Book of the Apocalypse (Revelation), Chapter 21 – Holy Scriptures   "Video" versions of the podcasts are posted to Odysee, Rumble and sometimes on YouTube (The censors at YouTube don't like Father's preaching so we're not posting everything because we don't want his channel nuked).

• Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac: [Lenten Mission] The Rosary: Heaven’s Weapon for These End Times

  In these dark and perilous times, when sin abounds and the world seems overtaken by evil, we must remember that where sin increases, grace abounds all the more. God, in His mercy, has given us a mighty weapon for these days: the Holy Rosary. After the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, it is our greatest spiritual aid. Do not underestimate its power. Our Lady herself, from Fatima to Lourdes to Akita, has pleaded with us: “Pray the Rosary every day.” Through this prayer, peace is brought to the world, the Church is defended, our families are protected, and our souls are saved. It is through the Rosary that we meditate on the life of Christ, grow in virtue, and resist temptation. So I urge you, pray the Rosary: not with mere lips, but with heart and mind united. Pray it daily, faithfully, and reverently. Make it the heartbeat of your home and the weapon you carry into battle. Heaven is watching. The Queen of Heaven is calling. Will you respond? Quotes from the Saints: Our Lady to Lucia (Fatima): “Say the Rosary every day to bring peace to the world and the end of the war.” St. Bernard: “I cannot promise you happiness in this world, only suffering, but you will have great happiness in the next.” Our Lady to St. Dominic: “From this day, you will speak about nothing and preach about nothing but the Hail Mary.” St. Louis de Montfort: “In the end times, God will raise up little ones who will do greater works than the apostles.” St. Louis de Montfort (on the Rosary): “If you have one foot in hell and you call upon Our Lady, she will yank you out.” St. Louis de Montfort: “A single Hail Mary said properly is worth more than 150 said badly.” St. Pio: “Pick up your weapon!!!” (Referring to the Rosary) Fr. Patrick Peyton: “The family that prays together stays together.” St. Alphonsus: “If you call upon Our Lady immediately during temptation, especially of impurity, you will not fall.” St. John Vianney (related through the story of Fr. Augustine Cohen): “You will receive a letter on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception that will bring you joy.” Blessed Alan de la Roche: “The Rosary brings countless blessings…” St. John Eudes: “The worst punishment from God is wicked prelates and priests.” Books mentioned in this sermon: The Secret of the Rosary – by St. Louis de Montfort Octobri Mensei – Encyclical on the Rosary by Pope Leo XIII The writings of Blessed Bartholomew Holzhauer – on the Seven Ages of the Church   "Video" versions of the podcasts are posted to Odysee, Rumble and sometimes on YouTube (The censors at YouTube don't like Father's preaching so we're not posting everything because we don't want his channel nuked).

• Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac: [Lenten Mission] The Seven Capital Sins

  During this holy season of Lent, the most crucial step in your spiritual journey is to truly know yourself—to identify your sins and weaknesses, especially that one prominent vice that acts like a stubborn weed in the garden of your soul. Don’t get overwhelmed by your many defects; pinpoint that main root, whether it’s pride putting yourself first, avarice clinging to earthly goods, or another capital sin. Then, focus your fight! The remedy isn’t just willpower; it’s embracing the opposite virtue, like humility against pride or generosity against avarice. Look to Christ, His Holy Mother, and the saints as your models, imitate their humility and detachment, accept the humiliations God sends to purify you, and remember that without God, you can do nothing. Rip up that root vice by its source, and all other virtues will begin to flourish within you.   "Video" versions of the podcasts are posted to Odysee, Rumble and sometimes on YouTube (The censors at YouTube don't like Father's preaching so we're not posting everything because we don't want his channel nuked).

• Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac: [Lenten Mission] The Fires of Divine Justice: Understanding and Assisting Souls in Purgatory

  Purgatory is REAL and SEVERE! It is a place where souls in a state of Grace, but not yet fully purified, undergo intense suffering to atone for their sins. It is important to offer prayers and Masses for the Poor Souls, especially Gregorian Masses, and acts of Charity for the relief of these souls. Purgatory is a manifestation of God’s Justice and His Mercy. We need to strive for holiness in this life to avoid the suffering of purgatory and to assist the holy souls through spiritual works of mercy. Books recommended in this Mission Sermon: Purgatory: Explained by the Lives and Legends of the Saints Saint Thomas Aquinas Summa Theologica The Treatise on Purgatory by Saint Catherine of Genoa Citations mentioned in this Mission Sermon: Saint Augustine: “It cannot be doubted that the prayers of the Church, the Holy Sacrifice, and alms distributed for the departed relieve those holy souls.” Saint Bonaventure: “Ponder in mind on the joy of heaven… let your soul hunger and your body thirst for it.” Saint Catherine of Genoa: “How terrible are those expiatory pains since they have caused me to mistake minutes for a year.” Saint Gregory: “The same fire torments the damned and purifies the elect.” Saint Monica (to Saint Augustine): “The one thing I ask of you is that you will be mindful of me at the altar of the Lord.” Saint Anthony Mary Claret: “The souls in hell are like fish in water, but they are in fire—consumed by it.”   "Video" versions of the podcasts are posted to Odysee, Rumble and sometimes on YouTube (The censors at YouTube don't like Father's preaching so we're not posting everything because we don't want his channel nuked).
