The Sacraments and Sacramentals - A Life Immersed in Grace

"The sacramentals either lead up to or continue the grace of the Sacraments."Fr. Philip T. Weller   In the introduction to the third volume of the Roman Ritual, Fr. Weller provides a brief history of the sacramentals and their relationship with the Sacraments. In this Introduction, he provides a wonderful explanation of how the sacramentals all flow from, and are ordered to, one of the seven

The Willfulness of Satan - A Warning For Us All

When we desire that our lives be something other than that which God wills for them to be, and we begin to see in that desire the source of our fulfillment and happiness, we set ourselves above God and declare that, by our own efforts, we can achieve our fulfillment and happiness.   This is what Satan did.  This is what animates him.  This is what it means to follow him.   In embracing this

To The Lost Souls: Our Lord says, "Let Me Show You"

There are many lost souls in the world today.  In particular, I think of: children raised without the Faith children raised to view the occult positivelyyoung people who enter the adult world wounded and bitterthose same who live without a moral compassthose same who live without God in their livesthose same who practice the occultthose same who know God exists but are so attached to grave sins that they cannot take the first step toward Himthose same who, despite a contrary outward display, are ...

New "Slaying Dragons" Subscription Service

As was mentioned in a previous email, Google's Feedburner has expired and I needed to move the email subscription service for this website (which sends out an email and RSS feed when new articles are posted). New posted article notifications will now be coming from the Feedburner alternative known as Follow.it 
This service appears to be much better than Feedburner, and is still cost effective (free) for me at the moment, until I need to upgrade the features. IF YOU ARE ALREADY A SUBSCRIBER: you ...

"Do Not Be Afraid: The Teachings of Exorcists on the Power of Spiritual Warfare" - Parish Talk

I recently gave a talk to a parish which I titled "Do Not Be Afraid:  The Teachings of Exorcists on the Power of Spiritual Warfare." The focus of the talk was on the different powers we have in Christ to give us peace, strength, protection, and confidence in spiritual warfare.
The talk was recorded but the audio is not the best.  If you bear with the audio, it is enjoyable!
Please spread the word, and subscribe to my new Slaying Dragons Apostolate YouTube Channel:

Don't Underestimate the Occult: Prepare for Battle - "Slaying Dragons" is the Resource

As God has seen fitting, He has led me into research on spiritual warfare and the rise of the occult in our world.  Thus, Slaying Dragons: What Exorcists See & What We Should Know. The more I dive into this field, the more disturbing the situation appears.
Truly, though, it is not only confirming my suspicions and fears, but raising new alarms as well.
World Spiritual Situation status:  Bad.  We live in an age overrun by the occult.  The occult, truly, has been around since the Fall, when, as one ...

Slaying Dragons Subscriber Email - Update Coming

To all of my website subscribers, who receive an email when my new posts arrive:

Blogger (which hosts this site) uses a free Feedburner thing to send out the emails.  That service is stopping this month.

I will be moving this email feature over to, likely, MailChimp, sometime this month.

All you will see is a slightly different look to the email, and perhaps "The Retreat Box" or "Slaying Dragons" as the sender.

The emails will likely look a lot nicer, so that won't be a problem.

I do not think you wi...

Spiritual Warfare Issues Abound...Making the Book More Available - 20% Discounts!

Spiritual warfare is always in the news!  ...and that is NOT going away anytime soon.  In fact, from my continued studies, it seems that the battle against the occult, in its many manifestations, is only going to get worse. Catholics, priests and laity, need to understand what is happening, and most do not.  Too few priests, even, do not understand what is happening in the battle for souls, nor what they can and must do about it. Even Bishops are calling for the priests to read Slaying Dragons t...
