Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #028: Slouching Toward WW3

[Direct link to the MP3 file — Subscribe using a modern podcast app]

In this episode Father discusses that we are, in a de facto sense, already in World War 3 and all hell is breaking loose. Whether it’s escalations in Ukraine, Putin threatening nuclear war for Christmas, Rome’s introduction of a new Mayan Liturgical Rite, the ongoing genocide in the middle East, the USCCB through their Campaign for Human Development directly funding inherently moral evils… it all adds up to the URGENT need to not only stay in the State of Grace but to double-down on personal sanctity!

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #026: Absolution and Discernment of Vocations

[Direct link to the MP3 file — Subscribe using a modern podcast app]

In this episode Father addresses two questions: practical advice for teenagers seeking to know their vocation and advice and encouragement for those trapped in a particular sin, the reasons for a priest to delay absolution, the remedies that can be applied to overcome a sin into which one relapses, and the need to pray for priests and politely encourage them to read the writings of Saint Alphonsus.

Remedies for impurity:

  1. Receive Holy Communion everyday, only if you are in the state of grace.
    Do spiritual communions, as often as possible.
  2. Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary:
    • Consecrate yourself to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
    • Pray the Rosary daily for purity.
    • Say three Hail Mary’s on your knees — with your hands under your knees — for purity.
    • Wear the Scapular.
    • Call on Our Lady immediately when tempted (Saint Alphonsus says it is an infallible sign that you will not fail if you call on Our Lady!).
    • Pray that the Blessed Virgin Mary will grant you the efficacious grate that you will have a deep hatred for sins of impurity, and that you would rather die in the state of grace than to ever commit a mortal sin.
  3. Pray to Blessed Virgin Mary to find a steady faithful confessor, who can help, and go to every week.
  4. Meditate on one of the four last things every day: death, judgement, hell and heaven.
  5. Practice the presence of God at all times. He knows every thought and deed you do and can strike you dead in your sins.
  6. Avoid all occasions of sin. Avoiding everything that cuts us off from God’s friendship: tv, internet porn, bad company etc…
  7. Temperance in food and drink. Practice interior an exterior penance.
  8. Dress modestly.
  9. Practice custody of eyes.
  10. Take a grain of exorcised salt when tempted.

No one falls who practices all of the above! You must do all of the above, the only exception is #1 if you are not in the state of grace.
