Today is Maundy Thursday, the beginning of the Paschal Triduum of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

This is the day on which Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ instituted the Holy Priesthood and the Eucharist at the Last Supper for our sanctification and salvation. Although Our Lord would enter deep into His Passion immediately after the completion of the Last Supper as He suffered His Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, He wonderfully gave us the Holy Priesthood of the New Dispensation as He instituted the New and Eternal Covenant that He would ratify by the shedding of every single drop of His Most Precious Blood on the wood of the Holy Cross tomorrow, Good Friday. We must express our gratitude to Him at all times for giving us the Priesthood so that we can have access on a daily basis to His own Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in Holy Communion, made present for us on altars of Sacrifice by true bishops and true priests in this time of apostasy and betrayal.

This is a day to keep watch with Our Lord in His Real Presence at the Altar of Repose, remembering most importantly to beg Our Lady to make more and more voluntary sacrifices to make reparation to the Most Sacred Heart of her Divine Son through her own Immaculate Heart for our sins and those of the whole world.

My last original commentary until Easter Monday, April 6, 2026, was published late yesterday afternoon: Pacificist Bob Prevost Believes in a False God Who Has Never Commanded Wars to be Fought in His Holy Name.

A most blessed Paschal Triduum to you all.

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

Today is Maundy Thursday.

The Paschal Triduum of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ’s Passion, Death and Resurrection actually began with the Office of Tenebrae yesterday evening, and it will end on Easter Sunday.

These are the holiest days are the zenith of Holy Mother Church’s liturgical year. This is the day on which Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ instituted the Holy Priesthood and the Eucharist at the Last Supper for our sanctification and salvation. Although Our Lord would enter deep into His Passion immediately after the completion of the Last Supper as He suffered His Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, He wonderfully gave us the Holy Priesthood of the New Dispensation as He instituted the New and Eternal Covenant that He would ratify by the shedding of every single drop of His Most Precious Blood on the wood of the Holy Cross tomorrow, Good Friday. We must express our gratitude to Him at all times for giving us the Priesthood so that we can have access on a daily basis to His own Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in Holy Communion, made present for us on altars of Sacrifice by true bishops and true priests in this time of apostasy and betrayal.

This is a day to keep watch with Our Lord in His Real Presence at the Altar of Repose, remembering most importantly to beg Our Lady to make more and more voluntary sacrifices to make reparation to the Most Sacred Heart of her Divine Son through her own Immaculate Heart for our sins and those of the whole world.

Additionally, though, I am providing those who access this site with a sermon written by Father Francis X. Weninger, S.J., who was an Austrian missionary to the United States of America in the Nineteenth Century after the revolutions that shook Central Europe in 1848.

Father Weninger was a fearless defender of the Holy Faith and a prolific writer. One of his most important books was Protestantism and Infidelity.

The Catholic Encyclopedia describes his work as follows:

Jesuit missionary and author, born at Wildhaus, Styria, Austria, 31 October, 1805; died at Cincinnati, Ohio, 29 June, 1888. When already a priest and doctor of theology, he joined the Society of Jesus in 1832 and in 1841 was sent to Innsbruck, where he taught theology, history, and Hebrew. As the Revolution of 1848 impeded his further usefulness at home, he left Europe and went to the United States. During his forty years he visited almost every state of the Union, preaching to vast multitudes in English, French, or German, as best suited the nationality of his hearers. In the year 1854 alone he delivered nearly a thousand sermons, and in 1864 he preached about forty-five missions. His zeal also prompted Father Weninger to win souls with the pen and he published forty works in German, Sixteen in English, eight in French, three in Latin. Among his principal works are: "Manual of the Catholic Religion" (Ratisbon, 1858); "Easter in Heaven" (Cincinnati, 1862); "Sermons" (Mainz, 1881-86). (Father Francis X. Weninger, S.J.)

Omitted from this list, however, is Father Weninger’s Protestantism and Infidelity, which is a superb critique of Protestantism’s complete infidelity to Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and His Sacred Deposit of Faith.

As our time and our heart belong entire to Our Lord and His Paschal Triduum as we keep ever close to Our Lady, who was with Him every step of the way as he participated the Queen of Martyrs in His Redemptive Act on the wood of the Holy Cross on Good Friday, no original articles will appear until Easter Monday.

My own republished reflection on Maundy Thursday can be found by scrolling above.

A most blessed Paschal Triduum to you all. 

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

This will be my last original commentary until Easter Wednesday, meaning that I will not post any commentary about whatever announcement President Donald John Trump is making this evening, Wednesday of Holy Week, April 1, 2026, concerning the ending of American and Israeli “incursion” in Iran. Let the naturalists and Zionists believe that they can achieve an illusory “peace” by pursuing the goals of the “Greater Israel” project that is hideous in the sight of the true God of Divine Revelation, the Most Holy Trinity.

Even though Robert Francis Prevost/Leo XIV is correct to oppose the current conflict in the Middle East, he is also opposed to all wars, meaning that he does not believe in the Just War Theory, not that we have any just wars lately, of course, and that God Himself has not commanded His saints to undertake and fight wars in His Holy Name.

This commentary, therefore, is a reminder of the facts that prove the currently presiding universal face of apostasy to be willfully ignorant of the truth of the matter.

Reflections on today, Spy Wednesday, are found at the conclusion of this commentary and in its appendix.

Republished commentaries will be posted over the course of the next four days.

Non-tax-deductible gifts are very need at this time. Please donate if at all possible.

A blessed Paschal Triduum of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ’s Passion, Death, and Resurrection to you all.

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

This commentary is not about the specifics of the ongoing war pitting the United States of America and Israel against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

No, this commentary is about the fact that Israeli police prevented the conciliar Latin Rite “patriarch” of Jerusalem from staging the Novus Ordo worship service in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre two days ago, that is, on Palm Sunday, March 29, 2026.

Just another Israeli “mistake.”

Of course not.

This commentary was updated around 5:30 p.m., Tuesday in Holy Week, March 31, 2026, to reflect the "resolution" of the supposed "misunderstanding" by the Israeli police. 

Part two of Pachamama Bob and Sarah Mullally will have to wait until after Easter Sunday, but I will have a commentary for you in about twenty-four hours dealing with Bob’s saying that God does not hear the prayers of those who start wars, meaning, of course, that, among others, Saint Joan of Arc heard no voices from the saints commanding her to raise up an army to expel the English from that part of Franceto which the English had claimed title since the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 and that King Philippe VI decreed that France was sovereign over all its territory.  

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

A self-explanatory title. 

The concluding part of this two-part commentary should appear tomorrow, Monday in Holy Week.

A Palm Sunday reflection may be found by scrolling below.

A blessed Palm Sunday to you all.

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

Today, Sunday, March 29, 2026, is Palm Sunday. I do not know about you, but this Lent seems to have flown by very rapidly.

We have now entered into the most solemn week of the year as we withdraw more and more from the world and its false allurements to unite ourselves as never before with the events of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ’s Passion and Death prior to experiencing the glory of His Resurrection following the Mass on Holy Saturday, April 4, 2026, and on Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026, thus beginning a marvelous celebration of the Octave of Easter and the Easter season.

We need Our Lady’s help to keep and to intensify our Lenten penances this week. May our reliance upon the Most Sorrowful Mysteries of her Holy Rosary aid us in understanding what our sins did to her Divine Son and to her and how grateful we must be for being the unmerited beneficiaries of the Mercy won for us on the wood of the Holy Cross and for being given from that Cross so great and wonderful and perfect a mother as she, Our Blessed Mother, is to us by Our Divine Redeemer Himself.

"From Eden to Palm Sunday" is a substantial revision of a reflection that I wrote for the printed pages of Christ or Chaos in 1997. Given the vastness of the subject, this reflection is pitifully, woefully inadequate. The revised article is really a condensed version of what was gone into in greater detail in the Living in the Shadow of the Cross lecture program. About half of the lecture program dealt with material condensed in the current article. Obviously, Holy Week is not a time to watch this lecture program! However, it is there for those who are interested at some point during the months that follow.

To greet Christ the King this Palm Sunday and every day of our lives, we must not let anything get in the way of letting Him treat us according to the tender mercies of His Most Sacred Heart, remembering that nothing anyone does to us, says about us or causes us to suffer is the equal of what one of our least Venial Sins caused Him to suffer in His Sacred Humanity during His fearful Passion and Death on the wood of the Holy Cross and that caused those Swords of Sorrow to be pierced through and through the Immaculate Heart of His Most Blessed Mother.

Our fervor during this week of weeks must be genuine, and we must beg Our Lady, especially by meditating upon the Sorrowful Mysteries of her Most Holy Rosary, to help us persist in this fervor moment by moment, day by day, week in and week out, month after month, year after year until the time when we meet Christ the King, Our Crucified and Risen Saviour, at the moment of our Particular Judgment.

I ask readers to make a non-tax-deductible financial gift if at all possible.

A blessed Palm Sunday and a blessed Holy Week to you all.

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

This contains a few reflections for your consideration on the Way of the Cross that might be useful for the last three weeks of Lent. These reflections were written many a moon ago and have been revised slightly over the past three decades. 

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

Harry S. Truman, although he, a thirty-third degree Mason, does figure prominently in an anecdote at the beginning of this commentary.

This new commentary is about the Freemasonic spirit at work within the counterfeit church of conciliarism, which is about all I am able to say as I almost fell entirely asleep as I was writing this.

Republished reflections about today’s principal feast, the Seven Dolors of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and about Saint John Damascene, were published about twenty minutes ago.

The next original commentary should appear on Palm Sunday (in addition to two republished reflections).

Our Lady of Dolors, pray for us.

Saint John Damascene, pray for us.

The great saint whose feast is commemorated elebrate today, Friday, March 27, 2026, Saint John Damascene, fought the iconoclasts in his day, and while many, although far from all, of our Catholic churches are now in the hands of the conciliar iconoclasts, we can festoon our homes with images of Our Lord and Our Lady and Saint Joseph and other saints as we use these images to remind us that we are united to the saints represented in these images by means of the Communion of Saints that we hope to share Heaven with them for all eternity in the glory of the Beatific Vision. 

Today, course, is our daughter Lucy’s twenty-fourth birthday and the eighteenth anniversary of her First Holy Communion.

Please do pray for Lucy Mary Therese Norma Droleskey on her birthday today. Thank you.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.

Saint John Damascene, pray for us.
