Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #057: The Queen of Heaven Crushes the Dancing Queen

Thu, 07 May 2026 09:02:14 -0400

In this episode Father discusses recent developments in Rome regarding homosexuality, synodality, ecumenism, interreligious dialogue, and the current direction of the Vatican which continue to represent a departure from traditional Catholic teaching. In contradiction to the perennial teachings of the Catholic Church, figures such as Father James Martin and Pope Leo 14th continue to promote doctrinal ambiguity and moral compromise. We need to double-down, yet again, with our devotions to Our Lady: she will be our most sure and reliable help to make it through the spiritual chastisement in which we’re living (and the physical chastisement that is coming!).

How to Make a Fruitful Confession

Sat, 25 Apr 2026 09:38:17 -0400

In this sermon Father teaches us how to make a truly fruitful confession, emphasizing that the sacrament of penance is a necessary means of salvation after mortal sin. He explains in detail the required elements of a valid confession—contrition, confession, and satisfaction—while warning against modern errors, laxity, and misuse of the Sacrament. We must avoid sin, especially occasions of sin, to cultivate true sorrow, and to seek a regular confessor in order to grow in grace and reach heaven.

The Church Militant: Standing Firm in the Final Battle

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 18:54:17 -0400

In this Lenten Mission sermon Father discusses the meaning of Holy Week through the lens of spiritual warfare, emphasizing the necessity of fidelity to Christ and His Church as the sole path to salvation. The Church is the Church Militant and Catholics need to actively engage in prayer, sacrifice, and defense of the Faith amid widespread apostasy and internal corruption. We need to persevere and maintain devotion to the sacraments and the Blessed Virgin, being ready to suffer as the Church endures her present and intensifying crisis.

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #055: As in the Days of Noahide

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 09:34:43 -0400

In this episode Father discussions wars and rumors from war (is Bibi dead?), and covers St. Thomas Aquinas’ Summa on the requirements for a war to be just. Also, for those who have eyes to see they will see that the move toward Noahide Laws is continuing with Senators proclaiming it’s antisemitic to say that Christ is King and the SecDef’s pastor saying that Marian and Eucharistic devotions by Catholics is idolatry.

Why Marian Doctrine Matters

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 21:23:53 -0500

In this sermon Father discusses the Catholic doctrine that the Blessed Virgin Mary is rightly called Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of all Graces, that these titles belong to the deposit of faith and are consistently taught by Scripture, Tradition, the Fathers, Doctors, Saints, and Popes. Denying these Marian titles undermines authentic Christology, rejects the Church’s historical teaching authority, and results in doctrinal collapse masked by false ecumenism. We need unwavering devotion to Our Lady, especially in the present age of crisis, presenting her as God’s chosen instrument for the final victory over error and the salvation of souls.

Key quotes from this sermon:

St. Louis de Montfort: “God wishes to make Mary better known in the latter times.”
St. Alphonse Liguori: “If you call on Our Lady promptly in temptation, it is an infallible sign that you will not fall.”
St. Maximilian Kolbe: “Mary is Co-Redemptrix because she is the Immaculate Conception, uniquely united to the Holy Ghost.”
St. Vincent of Lérins: “We must hold what has been believed everywhere, always, and by all.”
St. Jerome: “The whole world groaned and was astonished to find itself Arian.”
St. John Eudes: “All the Fathers of the Church clearly teach that Mary is Co-Redemptrix with Christ in the work of salvation.”

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #052: Yellow Brick Road to Hell

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 22:14:12 -0500

In this episode Father discusses the profound crisis in the Church rooted in the Second Vatican Council, synodality, and modern ecclesial reforms which contradict prior infallible teaching and have led to doctrinal confusion, liturgical collapse, and moral corruption. The suppression of the traditional Roman Rite, the promotion of moral errors — especially regarding sexuality — and the infiltration of the Church by hostile forces are signs of a long-prophesied apostasy and an approaching chastisement. We must practice spiritual resistance through prayer, penance, fidelity to tradition, devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and serious study of the saints and doctors of the Church.

The Assumption of Mary: Triumph of Love

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 16:44:22 -0500

In this sermon Father discusses the dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary as defined by Pope Pius XII, emphasizing the Church’s infallible authority to proclaim divinely revealed truths and the necessity of assenting to every dogma of the Catholic faith. Mary’s Assumption is inseparable from her perfect detachment from sin and the world, her total conformity to the will of God, and her unique participation in Christ’s redemptive work through love, suffering, and humility. Let us imitate Mary and the saints by practicing detachment, living sacramentally, preparing daily for death, and trusting in Our Lady’s powerful intercession for perseverance and salvation.

Key quotes from this sermon:

St. Thomas Aquinas: “To reject one dogma is to reject them all.”
St. Robert Bellarmine: The Art of Dying Well — “To die well, one must first die to the world.”
St. Bernard of Clairvaux: “Blessed is that death which is purchased at any price.”
St. Francis of Assisi: “My God and my all.”
St. John of the Cross: “One may be attached even to something holy, such as a rosary.”
St. Augustine of Hippo: “Before sin, the devil tells you God is merciful; after sin, he tells you God will never forgive.”
St. Alphonsus Liguori: “As you live, so you will die.”
St. John Vianney: Assurance given to Augustine Cohen regarding his mother’s salvation through Marian intercession.
St. Bernardine of Siena: Christ Himself went forth to meet His Mother at her Assumption.
St. Anselm of Canterbury: Christ ascended first in order to prepare and accompany Mary to her heavenly throne.
St. Peter Damian: The Assumption of Mary surpasses even the Ascension in splendor.
St. John Damascene: Christ Himself gave Mary Holy Viaticum before her Dormition.

The Woman, the Serpent, and the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 08:21:11 -0500

In this sermon Father discusses the divine motherhood of the Blessed Virgin Mary as the foundation of all Marian doctrine and as inseparable from authentic Christology and the Catholic Faith. Attacks on Mary’s titles — especially Mother of God, Mediatrix of all Graces, and Co-Redemptrix — are signs of doctrinal collapse foretold by saints, councils, and Marian apparitions. Heresy against Mary inevitably leads to heresy against Christ; we need to remain steadfast, to defend revealed dogma even amid ecclesial confusion, and to deepen devotion to Our Lady — particularly through the Rosary — as a sign of fidelity and perseverance unto salvation.

Key quotes from this sermon:

St. Louis de Montfort: “Whoever wishes to possess Jesus must possess Mary.”
St. Alphonse Liguori: “One good priest leads thousands to heaven; one bad priest leads thousands to hell.”
St. Louis de Montfort: “Jesus is the fruit of Mary, and Mary is the true tree of life.”
St. Justin Martyr: “The Virgin Mary became the cause of salvation for herself and for the whole human race.”
St. Irenaeus of Lyons: “The knot of Eve’s disobedience was loosed by the obedience of Mary.”
St. Augustine: “The elect are carried in the womb of Mary until she brings them forth into eternal glory.”
St. Catherine of Siena: “This vice [sodomy] is so abominable that even the demons turn away in horror.”

The Immaculate Conception: Dogma, Defense, and Devotion

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 22:27:56 -0500

In this sermon Father discusses the Immaculate Conception, explaining how Blessed Duns Scotus resolved theological difficulties by arguing that it was fitting for God to preserve His mother from original sin, a doctrine later defined as dogma by Pope Pius 9th. Mary is the “woman” of Genesis who crushes the serpent’s head, and as the “mold of God,” she serves as the perfect mediator to help the faithful be transformed into Christ. We need to practice total consecration to the Immaculate, imitating her virtues and relying on her intercession as it is the surest path to salvation and victory in spiritual warfare.

Key quotes from Saints in this sermon:

St. Augustine: “Mary was the only one who merited to be called the mother and spouse of God.”
St. Augustine: “For sin never had any entry into the soul of the Blessed Virgin.”
St. Bernard of Clairvaux: “Thou alone was found worthy to be chosen as the one in whose virginal womb the king of kings should have his first abode.”
St. Bernard of Clairvaux: “Noah’s ark was a type of Mary, for as by its means men were preserved from the deluge, so are we all preserved by Mary from the shipwreck of sin.”
St. Bonaventure: “It was becoming that the Blessed Virgin Mary by whom our shame was to be blotted out and by whom the devil was to be conquered should never even for a moment have been under her dominion.”
St. Thomas Aquinas: “It was necessary that he, Christ, who was to take away sin, should be separated from sin as to the fault under which Adam lay.”
St. Ambrose: “Christ chose this vessel unto which he was about to descend not avert but from heaven and he consecrated it a temple of purity.”
St. Louis de Montfort: “I still would choose the immaculate way of Mary. It is a way a road without stain or spot without original sin or actual sin without shadow or darkness.”
St. Louis de Montfort: “Mary is the great mold of God fashioned by the Holy Ghost to give human nature to a man who is God… and to fashion through the grace men who are like to God.”
St. John Damascene: “O Blessed Virgin, thou was born and thou mightiest minister to the salvation of the whole world.”

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #050: Satan vs. The Family

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 08:41:43 -0400

In this episode Father discusses the Miracle of the Sun: the most public “private” revelation since Apostolic times. Satan knows his time is short, and his final (and he hopes decisive) battle will be against Marriage and the Family, which anyone can see has been well underway for a few decades now. While we know not the day nor the hour, our time is short as well and we need to sanctify the time we have before entering into eternity!

During this time of escalating heresy and scandal remember to stay close to Our Lady and follow her advice: Pray the Rosary, especially in this month of October, staying mindful of the many promises made to those who are fervent clients and servants of Our Blessed Mother!

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #048: Speaking By Omission

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 23:51:42 -0400

In this episode Father skips the recent political assassination to address the assassination of the Catholic Faith taking place by the hands of the current Bishop In White. Rather than confirming the brethren in Faith he is omitting to speak out against errors and heresy… in fact, he seems to be propagating them intentionally. Read the signs of the times, heed Our Lady’s warnings at La Salette, Fatima, and Akita for the time of mercy is ending.

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #044: Do Not Worry if the World Hates You

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 11:06:33 -0400

In this episode, Father discusses recent news from Rome, including the recent ratification of Cardinal Castillo by Pope Leo. As the crisis in the Church deepens we need to reflect on the heroic faith of the martyrs, especially as recounted in St. Alphonsus Liguori’s Victories of the Martyrs, so that if God calls us to this glorious honor we wil be ready (worst case scenario: we’re ready to be martyrs but “merely” die holy deaths of some other type).

Greetings to new listeners! In this episode Father reiterates that he’s not a sedevacantist (but likes The WM Review), touches on some recent news from Rome, and talks about the Vision of Hell at Fatima. Hell is real, there are human souls there (and more have arrived while you have been reading this podcast summary) and if you don’t want to go there the only remedy is to know, love, and live the Catholic Faith… and heed Our Lady’s Warnings and use her remedy: The Rosary!

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #041: Wars and Rumors of Wars

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 08:02:48 -0400

In this episode Father discusses the recent bombing of Iran and questions when the last time was that any church prelate spoke about the requirements for a Just War (which have not existed for the U.S. for 250 years, if not longer). Meanwhile many prelates are churchmen are openly celebrating the abomination of “pride month” while the hierarchy is either silent or approving of this scandal. As the time of antichrist approaches there will be more persecution of the Faithful remnant; prepare yourself through prayer and the Sacraments for both white and red martyrdom!

In this episode Father reviews the sermon of Pope Leo the 14th from his non-coronation Mass (installation?) and reflects with grave concern regarding Leo’s commitment to continuing the work of his predecessor Francis, his attachment to Vatican 2, and his support for synodality. Father contrasts this with quotations from Pope Pius 11th’s encyclical Mortalimum Annos and several quote from unimpeachable Catholic sources. We can never run from the truth, and the truth seems to be we have a Pope who is willing to speak heresy. This is not a time for fear, it is a time for renewed prayer and study, for fasting, and for preparation for what is coming… time is short before the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart will be accomplished.

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #037: Leo, Fatima, and Chastisement

Wed, 14 May 2025 22:19:09 -0400

In this episode, Father discusses the recent election of Pope Leo 14th and raises some concerns that we as Catholics need to watch. While Leo speaks with perfect Latin and dresses like a Pope, his words and early action suggest he’s far more of spiritual successor to Francis than Leo 13th. The ongoing spiritual crisis within the Church requires direct and definitive intervention from the highest authorities but we aren’t likely to see that anytime soon. All that is left for us now are the promises — and warnings! — of Our Lady of Fatima. Pray the daily Rosary — all 15 decades! — frequent the Sacraments, do penance for sinners, and prepare for what is coming. In the end Her Immaculate Heart will Triumph and she’s given us the spiritual weapons to overcome evil… let’s use them!

Mon, 28 Apr 2025 14:48:30 -0400

In this episode, Father discusses the recent death of Pope Francis and the upcoming conclave while critically examining Francis’ legacy, emphasizing his public heresies, the damage done to the Catholic faith, and the troubling state of the Church post-Vatican II.

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac: [Lenten Mission] Heaven: Our True Home and Highest Goal

Sun, 20 Apr 2025 13:26:31 -0400

We were made for Heaven, and we must live with our eyes fixed firmly on that glorious reward. Don’t aim merely for purgatory—shoot for Heaven, for if you aim low and miss, hell awaits. Let nothing distract you from your eternal end. In Heaven, there will be no sickness, no suffering, no fear, no sin—only love, peace, and the beatific vision. Meditate on it often, speak of it with joy, and long for it with all your being! Unite your daily crosses to Christ’s Passion, cling to our Blessed Mother, frequent the sacraments, especially confession and Holy Communion, and strive for virtue. Remember, your glory in Heaven depends on your love for God here and now. So run the race well, carry your cross with joy, and bring souls with you—for no one goes to Heaven or hell alone.

Quotes from the Saints:

St. Maximilian Kolbe – “Aim higher.”
St. Francis de Sales – “Never speak or act when you’re angry.”
St. Paul – Multiple references from his epistles and his sufferings.
St. Bernard – “Do you wish to know what heaven is? There is nothing there that gives pleasure. There is everything that delights.”
St. Augustine – “He who sings well, prays twice.”
St. Alphonse (de Liguori) – Multiple quotes and references, including stories from Preparation for Death.
St. Bonaventure – “What measure men put into their love of God here will be the measure of their rejoicing in God in heaven…”
St. John of the Cross – Mentioned with admiration for his suffering and love of the cross.
St. Pio (Padre Pio) – “The more you are afflicted, the more you should exalt… a soul in the fire of tribulation will become refined gold…”

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac: [Lenten Mission] The Rosary: Heaven’s Weapon for These End Times

Sun, 13 Apr 2025 20:40:14 -0400

In these dark and perilous times, when sin abounds and the world seems overtaken by evil, we must remember that where sin increases, grace abounds all the more. God, in His mercy, has given us a mighty weapon for these days: the Holy Rosary. After the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, it is our greatest spiritual aid. Do not underestimate its power. Our Lady herself, from Fatima to Lourdes to Akita, has pleaded with us: “Pray the Rosary every day.” Through this prayer, peace is brought to the world, the Church is defended, our families are protected, and our souls are saved. It is through the Rosary that we meditate on the life of Christ, grow in virtue, and resist temptation. So I urge you, pray the Rosary: not with mere lips, but with heart and mind united. Pray it daily, faithfully, and reverently. Make it the heartbeat of your home and the weapon you carry into battle. Heaven is watching. The Queen of Heaven is calling. Will you respond?

Quotes from the Saints:

Our Lady to Lucia (Fatima): “Say the Rosary every day to bring peace to the world and the end of the war.”
St. Bernard: “I cannot promise you happiness in this world, only suffering, but you will have great happiness in the next.”
Our Lady to St. Dominic: “From this day, you will speak about nothing and preach about nothing but the Hail Mary.”
St. Louis de Montfort: “In the end times, God will raise up little ones who will do greater works than the apostles.”
St. Louis de Montfort (on the Rosary): “If you have one foot in hell and you call upon Our Lady, she will yank you out.”
St. Louis de Montfort: “A single Hail Mary said properly is worth more than 150 said badly.”
St. Pio: “Pick up your weapon!!!” (Referring to the Rosary)
Fr. Patrick Peyton: “The family that prays together stays together.”
St. Alphonsus: “If you call upon Our Lady immediately during temptation, especially of impurity, you will not fall.”
St. John Vianney (related through the story of Fr. Augustine Cohen): “You will receive a letter on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception that will bring you joy.”
Blessed Alan de la Roche: “The Rosary brings countless blessings…”
St. John Eudes: “The worst punishment from God is wicked prelates and priests.”

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac: [Lenten Mission] The Seven Capital Sins

Fri, 04 Apr 2025 23:21:59 -0400

During this holy season of Lent, the most crucial step in your spiritual journey is to truly know yourself—to identify your sins and weaknesses, especially that one prominent vice that acts like a stubborn weed in the garden of your soul. Don’t get overwhelmed by your many defects; pinpoint that main root, whether it’s pride putting yourself first, avarice clinging to earthly goods, or another capital sin. Then, focus your fight! The remedy isn’t just willpower; it’s embracing the opposite virtue, like humility against pride or generosity against avarice. Look to Christ, His Holy Mother, and the saints as your models, imitate their humility and detachment, accept the humiliations God sends to purify you, and remember that without God, you can do nothing. Rip up that root vice by its source, and all other virtues will begin to flourish within you.

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac: [Lenten Mission] The Fires of Divine Justice: Understanding and Assisting Souls in Purgatory

Mon, 24 Mar 2025 20:56:48 -0400

Purgatory is REAL and SEVERE! It is a place where souls in a state of Grace, but not yet fully purified, undergo intense suffering to atone for their sins. It is important to offer prayers and Masses for the Poor Souls, especially Gregorian Masses, and acts of Charity for the relief of these souls. Purgatory is a manifestation of God’s Justice and His Mercy. We need to strive for holiness in this life to avoid the suffering of purgatory and to assist the holy souls through spiritual works of mercy.

Books recommended in this Mission Sermon:

Citations mentioned in this Mission Sermon:

Saint Augustine: “It cannot be doubted that the prayers of the Church, the Holy Sacrifice, and alms distributed for the departed relieve those holy souls.”
Saint Bonaventure: “Ponder in mind on the joy of heaven… let your soul hunger and your body thirst for it.”
Saint Catherine of Genoa: “How terrible are those expiatory pains since they have caused me to mistake minutes for a year.”
Saint Gregory: “The same fire torments the damned and purifies the elect.”
Saint Monica (to Saint Augustine): “The one thing I ask of you is that you will be mindful of me at the altar of the Lord.”
Saint Anthony Mary Claret: “The souls in hell are like fish in water, but they are in fire—consumed by it.”

[Lenten Mission] How to Have a Holy Death

Wed, 05 Mar 2025 17:18:18 -0500

To prepare well for death, meditate on it daily, as Scripture and the Saints advise. The thought of death restrains sin while ignoring it leads to presumption and spiritual ruin. Always remain in a state of Grace because death is certain but its timing is unknown. Avoid the illusion that you can repent later: many die suddenly, without warning. Detach now from worldly possessions and pleasures, as death separates you from all earthly things. Live as if today were your last day, focusing on prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and devotion to God. The road to heaven is found in the Church, the Sacraments, and obedience to God’s will. Do not delay repentance: God’s Mercy is great, but His Justice is both great and real as well.

Citations mentioned in this Mission Sermon:

St. Alphonsus Liguori – On meditating on death to avoid sin
St. Gregory – God conceals the hour of death so we remain vigilant
St. Bernard – Always live in expectation of death to avoid sin
St. Robert Bellarmine – The art of dying well requires living well
St. Augustine – God hides the day of death to keep us prepared
St. Vincent Ferrer – Few habitual sinners receive the grace of a good death
St. Jerome – Most who persist in sin until death are lost
Book of Tobias, Ch. 12 – Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving deliver the soul from death
Gospel of Matthew, Ch. 24 – Be ready, for you do not know the hour
Isaiah 29:13 – True prayer comes from the heart, not just the lips
James 4:3 – Prayers must be rightly ordered to be effective

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #012: Follow the Good Shepherd Or Else!

Sun, 14 Apr 2024 14:19:00 -0400

In this episode Father discusses the feast of Good Shepherd Sunday with particular emphasis on the Good Shepherd Discourse from the Gospel of Saint John. When a sheep demonstrates the habit of wandering off from the flock a shepherd will break its legs and carry it for two weeks (during which time that lamb or sheep will learn the voice of the shepherd up close and personal). Let us all pay spiritual heed to the teachings of the Good Shepherd lest something unfortunate happen to our soul!

Formula for a Spiritual Communion:

My Jesus, I believe that Thou art present in the Blessed Sacrament. I love Thee above all things and I desire Thee in my soul. Since I cannot now receive Thee sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though thou wert already there, I embrace Thee and unite myself wholly to Thee; permit not that I should ever be separated from Thee (Saint Alphonsus Maria de Liguori).

Soldiers of the Immaculate with Fr. Isaac #004: Nobody is Saved Without Our Lady

Sat, 20 Jan 2024 15:27:00 -0500

The importance of consecrating your day to Mary in your morning offering cannot be stressed enough! Without Mary nobody is saved, and in these latter days those who have True Devotion to her will be among the greatest Saints of all time. While the violence of chastisements will increase as time comes to a close the reward for staying faithful to the Faith, and especially for being a consecrated servant of Our Lady, will be immense beyond measure or imagination. Always remember to consecrate your day – and your children – to Our Lady so that she may protect you under her mantle!

As we finish 2023 it’s a good time to reflect on the past year and make a General Confession. It’s also an excellent time to resolve to improve our spiritual life, first by knowing ourself and our chief fault but also make the most of the time we have by developing our spiritual life through attendance at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, Spiritual Communions, Mental Prayer, the Rosary, Spiritual Reading, study of the Faith, and more.
