  Personal reflection: Unfortunately, the Legion of Mary has been infiltrated and indoctrinated by modernism and relativism.  They explicitly admit it in their written "Explanation of Front and Back Covers": Front Cover: “modern religious art” Back Cover:  “The Vietnamese hierarchy, has not given official approval to the apparition”, “implicit approval”. The Legion of Mary should only advocate officially approved apparitions. God bless the Legion of Mary.

  Personal reflection: Why create a manufactured “Season of Creation” when the Church already has a magnificent “Liturgical Calendar”? The “Season of Creation” is a month long celebration from September 1 – October 4. The website “ Catholic Culture ” has the following Catholic explanation for the month of September and Feasts for September 2023: “September falls during the liturgical season known as Tempus per Annum or Ordinary Time (formerly Time After Pentecost), which is represented by the liturgical color green. Green is a symbol of hope, as it is the color of the sprouting seed and arouses in the faithful the hope of reaping the eternal harvest of heaven, especially the hope of a glorious resurrection.” Feasts for September 2023 3.

The perils and pitfalls of playstation 5 (ps5) by Marian Casillas, Ed.D.   I educated myself on PS5 by watching the video, The Ultimate Guide To PlayStation 5 . Money far better spent on Daily Roman Missal for the eternal salvation of souls than on PS5 with far too many fleeting and fantastical fancy features. It is sad and sorrowful to know that immature men are playing childish games. Experience Enlightened Education over Escapist Entertainment.  Real-life Recreation and Relaxation are good, but not addictive alternate reality with frantic, loud, and sometimes violent content that is antithetical to praying and listening for the still, small voice of God. Unplug, smash the machine into pieces, and throw it in the trash where it belongs, so no one else can use it to hurt themselves or others. It fries the brain and dries the soul. Live in the realm of reality in order to one day reign in Eternal Reality. Virtual reality is a hells-cape, not just an innocent, fun-lo

  Personal reflection: One of the most courageous things that ordinary people do is open their eyes to God’s Truth. Living with eyes wide open to reality is a daily act of courage.

  2023 PATHWAYS TO HOPE MESSAGE - ARCHBISHOP GUSTAVO on Vimeo https://vimeo.com/851768708/recommended Transcript of video Friends and Faithful San Antonians.  A year ago, this past May, we recall the tragedy at Robb Elementary School and the suffering of our neighbors in Uvalde. Since then, I have continually visited there to bring comfort and prayer to their hearts. I remember a family I went to visit and how accompaniment, prayer, and care in silence brought some peace and consolation to them. They remind me that we need each other to heal. We need each other to get better. This month, San Antonians and other neighbors from 14 cities across the United States are gathering to learn and work as much larger compassionate community because we all know we are better together. Mejores Unidos. I encourage you to attend this year's Pathways to Hope Mental Wellness conference at the beautiful Tobin Center in downtown San Antonio, August 25th and 26th. The conference is free

  We have Got to Win by Gene Chapman When Trump was president, gas was as low here as $1.87 from memory, consistently in the $2.00 a gallon vicinity from memory. All minorities across America were breaking records, including women, rising to middle class status, creating six thousand new millionaires overall in four productive years. It was basic economics that never fail, lower taxes, fewer regulations rewarding rich democrat donors, and double family tax deductions for dependents, creating massive wealth for record amounts of IRS collection. With ordinarily low inflation, people could afford weekend cook outs, new school clothing for the children, traveling to attend their favorite professional or college teams’ games, fearlessly self-sufficient, confident of a secure comfortable future. It was good to be alive. THEN THE DEMOCRATS DECIDED THAT TRUMP WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN! Biden won the 2O2O election, made it a crime to question election validity, as losing democrats always did, an

  Personal reflection: The school district administration should rent the movie theater and show the movie “Sound of Freedom” to all the parents.  After seeing the movie, parents probably would seriously consider Homeschooling and most definitely wouldn’t allow their children to pose for pictures and have them posted on the world-wide-web.

  Personal reflection: Know that when the enemy, the evil one, is so desperately trying to hinder something from happening, it is because something good will come about and it will result in something even greater happening. Thank God for the grace to persevere beyond the pain of persecution.

  Personal reflection: God bless the proliferation of homeschooling parents amidst the horrific pandemic of pornography and pedophilia. God bless parents to protect their children’s physical, psychological, and spiritual innocence and purity, and be ever mindful of the eternal salvation of their souls. Get them to Heaven, not just to Harvard.
