Soldiers of the Immaculate

Traditional Franciscan priest Fr. Mary-Isaac Relyea joins John-Henry Westen to address what he describes as a crisis of silence within the Catholic hierarchy. Drawing on St. John Eudes and St. Gregory the Great, Relyea argues that priests and bishops have a grave obligation to defend Catholic doctrine and warn souls against sin. He sharply criticizes Pope Leo XIV and other prelates whom he believes have failed in that responsibility, a failure that, he warns, invites damnation. The discussion addresses reception of Holy Communion, homosexuality, modernism, Vatican II, and the SSPX. Relyea argues that Catholics must remain faithful to what they understand as perennial Catholic teaching even amid opposition from Church authorities or their own families. The silence of the shepherds is not neutral; it is complicity. Relyea turns to the spiritual practices Catholics need to persevere: the Rosary, the sacraments, spiritual Communion, mental prayer, penance, fasting, and studying the lives of the saints. Mental…

In this episode Father discusses the mystery and necessity of the Cross, emphasizing that Christ’s disciples must renounce themselves, accept the crosses God permits, and follow Him to Calvary; the Cross is presented as the means of salvation, a source of grace, a weapon against spiritual enemies, and the path to conformity with Christ. The episode calls listeners to stop fleeing from suffering, embrace their crosses with patience and love, cultivate humility, prayer, mental prayer, and dependence upon divine grace, and seek the help of the Blessed Virgin Mary, particularly through the Seven Sorrows devotion and its associated promises. Let us learn the wisdom of the Cross, ask for the grace to carry it faithfully, unite our sufferings to Christ, and persevere in prayer and penance so that we may remain faithful and attain heaven. The Promises made to those who have devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows: I will grant peace to their families. They will be enlightened about the divine Mysteries. I will console them…

In this episode Father discusses the crisis in the Church following the Second Vatican Council, focusing especially on the liturgical reform, the loss of the sacrificial character and reverence of the Mass, the failure of Church leaders to defend Catholic truth, and the growing confusion and apostasy within the Church. We must recognize the seriousness of the crisis, study the Faith and the writings of the Saints, pray and do penance, make frequent spiritual Communions, defend Christ and His Church, instruct those who are ignorant, and remain faithful even amid persecution and suffering. Let us reject cowardice and spiritual complacency, renew our consecration to the Blessed Mother, pray fervently for the consecration of Russia, and strive to remain in a state of grace so that we may persevere in the Faith and be ready to meet Our Lord.

In this episode Father discusses the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, emphasizing her role as the Immaculate Mother, Mediatrix of All Graces, and model of total conformity to God’s will, particularly through her Fiat and participation in Christ’s redemption. Devotion to Our Lady is connected to the spiritual dangers of the present age and Catholics must detach themselves from worldly possessions, technology, fear, sin, and personal opinions; cultivate mental prayer; practice penance and the sacraments; discern and embrace their vocations; and prepare seriously for death and judgment. Let us consecrate ourselves and our families to Our Lady, imitate her virtues, persevere amid the crisis in the Church, pray and sacrifice for the salvation of others, and strive for sanctity rather than merely hoping to avoid damnation.

In this sermon Father discusses the proper use of the tongue, emphasizing that sinful speech—including calumny, insults, immodesty, gossip, and verbal abuse—can seriously damage other people and incur responsibility before God. Christians have a duty not only to avoid sinful speech but to speak up in defense of the Catholic faith and Truth, particularly when confronted with error, while doing so with charity and a willingness to instruct those who are sincerely mistaken. We must all remain spiritually vigilant, pray for those who have been led astray, praise God with our speech, defend the Church and the innocent, and never separate Charity from Truth.

In this episode Father addresses some of the continuing ripple effects from the SSPX’s July 1 episcopal consecrations, namely the “ecumenical outreach” from Ecclesia Dei parish seeking to regularize supporters of the SSPX.

In this episode Father recaps the consecration of the four new bishops by the SSPX, the DDF's document in response to it, the objective fact that there is a grave crisis in the Church, and how even Church law nullifies penalties and censures when actions are motivated by a state of necessity or emergency circumstances. The storm in the Church is REAL, and staying close to the True Mass and our Mother in Heaven will be our surest guarantee of safety.

In this episode Father briefly discusses Saint John the Baptist and how the world sorely needs someone with his voice crying out in the wilderness of sin to make straight the ways of the Lord.

In this episode Father discusses the continuing crisis in the Catholic Church, criticizing recent actions and statements associated with Pope Leo 14th, Vatican officials, and various bishops as departures from traditional Catholic doctrine and governance. Catholics should remain steadfast during the present confusion by relying on Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, the teachings of the Church Fathers, and especially the principles articulated by St. Vincent of Lérins for discerning truth from error. We must remain steadfast in prayer, study, devotion to the Rosary, perseverance through coming trials, and confidence in the eventual Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary!

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.

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.

In this sermon Father discusses the mystery of the Cross as the central path to salvation, explaining that God’s wisdom often appears as foolishness to the world but it is the means by which souls are purified and saved.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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:…

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…

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…

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!

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.

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).

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.

In this episode Father reflects on the deep spiritual crisis facing both Church and society and the urgent need to heed Our Lady’s message at Fatima to do penance and reparation and to have devotion to Her Immaculate Heart. We need to embrace the cross, prepare spiritually for persecution, and stay rooted in prayer, especially the rosary, amid an impending chastisement and collapse of both Church and civil society.

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.

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!

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. There is a dire need for Catholics to cling to tradition, intensify prayer and penance, and prepare spiritually for the escalating crisis within the Church and the world.

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?…

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…

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.

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: Purgatory: Explained by the Lives and Legends of the Saints Saint Thomas Aquinas Summa Theologica The Treatise on Purgatory by Saint Catherine of Genoa 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…

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…
