Mass with Mary
Our Blessed Mother has long been called the Co-Redemptrix because, at Calvary, she offered to God the sacrifice of her only Son, renouncing her own maternal rights over Him. The Church also understands Our Lady to be the Mediatrix of All Graces. She has been given charge over the graces of God, distributing them to her beloved children. St. Alphonsus Liguori said that Mary, our Mother, is the neck through which graces flow to us from the Head, which is Christ. With these beautiful truths in mind, we can gain a new appreciation for Holy Mass and seek full union with Mary, the virtue we pray for while meditating on the Coronation of the Blessed Virgin.
A Brief Defense of Indulgences
The word ‘indulgence’ is a very familiar term of history, known ambiguously even by non-religious to be connected with the Church's ‘corrupt extortion of the poor so that they may pay for the forgiveness of sins and enter heaven’ as they imagine. This however, is far from true, for an indulgence does not forgive one's sin, nor can possibly do so since (as we see with the Jubilee indulgence) it takes place after the Sacrament of Penance by which a Catholic receives absolution for all his sins. I will demonstrate the true teaching of indulgences, it's biblical foundation, and it's foundation in Christian antiquity
The Doctrine of ‘Scripture Alone’ Refuted
