Our Lord told us that He is "the way, the life and the truth" and since Mary is his mother it is only right to address her under the title "Mary Mother of Life."
Eve was called the Mother of the Living, but Mary is Mother of Life to indicate that she is not only the Mother of the Living but the Mother of Life itself -- Our Lord.
Eve was the Mother of the Living -- those under the original curse: "for dust you are to dust you will go." In contrast, Mary is the Mother of those who have received life in Christ -- eternal life.
In this talk, we explore the importance of this title and its relevance to our times plagued by contraception and abortion. Come and learn how Mary can lead all those who are lost back to Christ so that they may have life and have it abundantly.

Many have heard of Our Lady of Guadalupe and many have seen the famous image imprinted on the tilma of St. Juan Diego, yet few truly understand the importance of this divine intervention in the life of the Church.
What was the life of people of the Americas before the Church reached the continent? What did they believe in and why did they refuse the Christian message with such a great determination that only a very small portion of the population had converted?
How can we then explain that in the span of 10 years following the apparition, over 8 million converted to the faith? What did they see in the tilma that was not made visible to them before?
This talk presents the story of Guadalupe against its historical backdrop and will help you better understand the great gift Our Lord gave us from the Cross when he told the Beloved Disciple: "behold your mother." It will also help you better appreciate the importance of the pilgrim site of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

In 1917, Our Lady appeared in the small town of Fatima, Portugal to 3 children and entrusted them with three important messages, the last of which became known as the Third Secret of Fatima.
In this lecture, we give a practical, historical example of the workings of God in history through the covenant. We explain how the Lord is leading all of history to its appointed end via political and economic events. By listening to this lecture you will learn to see the world through the covenant and realize more and more that the events of our time are as biblical as the exodus of Israel out of Egypt.

In this talk, we will listen to what saints and other pious people have had to say about their experiences with angels.
Some have seen their guardian angels since they were little. Others, like Padre Pio, saw and conferred with their angels and the guardian angels of other people regularly.

Catholic Foundation Library #33
This lecture is a meditation on the role of the Archangel Raphael who is much neglected in Catholic circles.
We will study the Book of Tobit and discover all that this great, heavenly saint can do for us.
Highlights
Catholic Foundation Library #32
In this talk, we will learn why we need a guardian angel, or more specifically, why it is impossible for us to get to heaven without our guardian angel.
Against the three enemies of the flesh, the world, and the devil, our Lord has given us an angel to protect us, to guide us, to encourage us when we fall, and to console us.

Catholic Foundation Library #31
In this talk, we will be studying the nine choirs of angels from the Seraphim down to the choir known as angels.
We will learn about each of these choirs and find out more about their angelic nature. Also, we will understand the statement of Our Lord when he said inA Luke 20:36 that the saints in heaven are like angels.

You may have heard this expression associated with non-Catholic groups or organizations, and what you may not know is that this expression refers to the time we live in, the time of the Church, the end times.
In this lecture, we study passages such as Matthew 19:27-30, Luke 1 46-55, Romans 16:24-27, to understand what was meant by this expression. We will clarify its meaning and grasp the relationship that exists between the new age and the Church.
Highlights

Passages such as Acts 2:12-40, Timothy 3:1-12, Hebrew 1:1-3, James 5:1-11, 2 Peter 3, and 1 Peter 1:5 will reinforce what we have learned in the preceding lecture.
We will see that all these texts dealing with the end times function as a cohesive whole echoing one another in a harmonious way.
There is no contradiction in Scripture provided Scripture is interpreted according to the mind of the Catholic Church. These passages are a perfect illustration of this principle.
Catholic Foundation Library #28
In this first lecture, we study the various passages of the Gospels that deal with the end times.
Specifically, we focus on Matthew 16:31, Matthew 24, Matthew 13, and Luke 21.
In this context, the four senses of Scripture and the Covenant will prove particularly useful to help us understand what Jesus meant. We will see that the words of the Lord did not deal with the end times principally but with events that were at hand and that signaled the end of the old covenant. We will also see how these same words can be applied to the end times.
Another important element that will help us here is the relationship of the Temple of Jerusalem to the cosmos.
