Every time we receive the Eucharist we are receiving Jesus through Mary. Every time we adore the Lord in the Eucharist, Mary is there with us--interceding with us and for us. Want to be a saint in short order? You need Eucharistic adoration and Mary. They go together.
From now on, we will pray the St. Michael the Archangel prayer at the end of every Mass in the Basilica. St. Michael was given to us by God to defend us from the errors of the devil. At this time in history, we are in need his defense. There are lots of errors floating around...
The parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is not really about poverty as it is about complacency. Poverty isn't evil. Not caring to help someone is. We all have a Lazarus in our lives. Who is yours?

You don't just come out of the womb a disciple. You have to work to become one. You first have to encounter Christ--and experience Him personally. Then you have to be hungry and humble enough to be taught by Him. And finally, you have to choose to follow him unreservedly. A real disciple puts Christ, His teachings and His Church above everything and everyone...without exception! Are you a disciple?

Mary composed one prayer that we know of. St. Louis de Montfort said of this prayer that "is the greatest offering of praise that God ever received under the law of grace.” If you don't know what do say after you receive Holy Communion at Mass, this is the perfect prayer. It's what the Blessed Virgin said after SHE received the Eucharist!

As Jesus was literally walking to His death, he stopped the Apostles to explain the necessity of a specific virtue. No one can get to heaven without it. And those who have it now will experience peace and happiness on earth...even if everything else in the world is chaotic.
