Once Saved, Always Saved is Total Heresy

In today's Gospel, Jesus said he came to serve as a ransom for the "many." At the Last Supper, Our Lord said his blood would be offered for the salvation of the "many." Given this: Did Jesus die for ALL or just some? And once you accept Jesus, are you guaranteed to be saved? All of this and more in today's homily...

St. Joseph: Master of the Interior Life (Fr. Joseph Aytona)

No saint (except for Mary) had a deeper interior life than St. Joseph. We are all called to follow in his footsteps. And you do NOT need to be a priest or a religious to do this...

Authentic Femininity and Masculinity (Fr. Joseph Aytona)

What does it mean to be a man or a woman? Well, to see what authentic femininity and masculinity look like, we ought to look to Mary and Joseph -- the greatest woman and man ever created by God.

Patron of the Dying (Be a Saint!) — Fr. Joseph Aytona

St. Joseph is the patron saint of the dying. We should be asking this mighty saint NOW to help us have the sacraments when we die. St. Joseph will make sure that all who have recourse to him have a happy and peaceful death.

St. Joseph: Terror of Demons (Fr. Joseph Aytona)

Satan and his minions cannot stand St. Joseph. If you don't think demons are real, listen to this homily. They are real. But St. Joseph has our back!

St. Joseph ”Guardian of the Redeemer” (Fr. Joseph Aytona)

God Himself willed that St. Joseph be the head of the Holy Family. Jesus Christ listened to Joseph. Mary listened to Joseph. We too ought to listen to St. Joseph...

”The Weapon” (Fr. Joseph Aytona, Opening Mass of the Rosary Congress)

This weapon is responsible for delivering the Catholic Church against a ravenous Muslim Navy who sought to enslave and slaughter all Catholics. This weapon will deliver you too from all danger... even against all odds.

If Your Hand Causes You to Sin, Cut it Off

In today's Gospel, Jesus speaks of the reality of Hell. It is awful. But Our Lord wants us to do everything we humanly can to avoid that which sends us there--namely, serious sin. Our life is a battle. God will give us grace, but we must be willing to do our part. 

The First Miracle of Perpetual Adoration at the Basilica

Gary, our security guard from 11PM to 7AM, was not a religious man when he started. But seeing men and women come to worship Jesus Eucharistic at every hour of the night and early morning inspired Him. Their love for Jesus pointed to the truth of the Eucharist for Gary. Tragically, Gary died last week. I found out after his death he was thinking about joining RCIA before he died. What a miracle! For the last 3 and a half months of his life, he protected the Eucharist and those who came to adore. He came to the faith because of all those who came to adore when the world says "STAY ASLEEP!" This is a miracle. A soul was saved because of adoration!
