  • Why Mary Is Our LIFE - Stories by St. Alphonsus Liguori

    Why Mary Is Our LIFE - Stories by St. Alphonsus Liguori
    Nov 17 2025
    “The praise of Mary is a fountain so full that the more it extends, the fuller it becomes, and the fuller it becomes the more it extends; which signifies that the blessed Virgin is so great and sublime, that the more we praise her, the more there is to praise. So that St. Augustine says: All the tongues of men, even if all their members were changed to tongues, would not be sufficient to praise her as she deserves.” - St. Alphonsus Liguori.

    These true stories were taken from the book, “The Glories of Mary,” by St. Alphonsus Liguori, who is an illustrious Doctor of the Church.

  • Don Bosco and the Souls in Purgatory

    Don Bosco and the Souls in Purgatory

    Don Bosco often had apparitions of the afterlife. One of his pupils Joseph Perazzo, said:
    My father's death saddened me very much, and I kept wishing to know of his state in the other world. Once, after confession, I asked Don Bosco to pray for my father. "I have seen him," Don Bosco replied. He then proceeded to describe him so minutely and accurately that I exclaimed, "Yes, that's my father; that's the way he used to dress."
    "Well," Don Bosco went on, "he’s still in purgatory. Pray for him, and soon he'll be in heaven." The amazing thing is that Don Bosco had never seen or known the boy's father in this life.
    But a far more frightening specter appeared to one of Don Bosco's parishioners around All Souls Day in 1865. It's lesson is timeless and he gave a chilling account of the event to his Oratory boys, resulting in one of the most remarkable Good Night Talks in the school's history.

    Here are some very easy ways to gain a plenary indulgence:

    -Vocal Recitation of at least 5 decades of the Rosary in a church, or oratory or when it is recited in a family, a religious community, or a pious association. And in all other circumstances, a partial indulgence is granted.

    -Remaining in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament for half an hour.

    -Reading sacred Scripture with the devotion due to God’s word for half an hour.

    -Making the pious exercise of the Way of the Cross at legitimately erected stations.

    -On each Friday of Lent a plenary indulgence is granted to those who piously recite the prayer “Look down Upon Me, Good and Gentle Jesus” after Holy Communion, before an image of Christ crucified.

    "Indulgence" as defined by the Code of Canon Law (can. 992) and in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (n. 1471):

    "An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Christian who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed conditions through the action of the Church which, as the minister of redemption, dispenses and applies with authority the treasury of the satisfactions of Christ and the saints".
    To gain indulgences, whether plenary or partial, it is necessary that the faithful be in the state of grace at least at the time the indulgenced work is completed. [For instance, one must be a Catholic, not excommunicated or in schism.]

    A plenary indulgence can be gained only once a day. In order to obtain it, the faithful must, in addition to being in the state of grace:
    have the interior disposition of complete detachment from sin, even venial sin;
    have sacramentally confessed their sins;
    receive the Holy Eucharist (it is certainly better to receive it while participating in Holy Mass, but for the indulgence only Holy Communion is required); pray for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff.

    It is appropriate, but not necessary, that the sacramental Confession and especially Holy Communion and the prayer for the Pope's intentions take place on the same day that the indulgenced work is performed; but it is sufficient that these sacred rites and prayers be carried out within several days (about 20) before or after the indulgenced act. Prayer for the Pope's intentions is left to the choice of the faithful, but an "Our Father" and a "Hail Mary" are suggested. One sacramental Confession suffices for several plenary indulgences, but a separate Holy Communion and a separate prayer for the Holy Father's intentions are required for each plenary indulgence.

    Indulgences can always be applied either to oneself or to the souls of the deceased, but they cannot be applied to other persons living on earth.

  • The Roman Ghosts: Martyrs of the Theban Legion

    The Roman Ghosts: Martyrs of the Theban Legion
    Nov 3 2025
    The Theban legion numbered more than six thousand men. They were encamped near the Lake of Geneva in the southwestern part of Switzerland, under the Emperor Maximian, when they got orders to turn their swords against the Christian population, and refused to obey. In his fury Emperor Maximian ordered them to be decimated. The order was executed, but they endured this without a murmur or an effort to defend themselves. St. Maurice, the chief captain in this legion of martyrs, encouraged the rest to persevere and follow their comrades to heaven. "Know, O Emperor," he said, "that we are your soldiers, but we are servants also of the true God. In all things lawful we will most readily obey, but we cannot stain our hands in this innocent blood. We have seen our comrades slain, and we rejoice at their honor. We have arms, but we resist not, for we would rather die without shame than live by sin." As the massacre began, these generous soldiers flung down their arms, offered their necks to the sword, and suffered themselves to be butchered in silence.
    The Blessed Virgin Mary revealed where two of them were martyred to Saint John Bosco. He was an Italian priest who ran an Oratory school for boys in the 1800's and received over 170 mystical dreams or visions which often foretold future events with perfect accuracy. This particular vision, recounted in volume two of his biographical memoirs, took place in 1845, when Don Bosco had already started his apostolate with young men, but couldn't find a suitable home for all of them. He had gone to bed in desolation, not even suspecting that he would receive a great consolation from Our Lady in the form of a mystical dream. It was a promise of a future home for the boys - a massive Oratory School.
