Fr. Taouk explains how not all God's visitations come with a blessing, it all depends upon how well we are disposed when he comes that determines whether it be a blessing or a punishment.

Fr Taouk explain the reality of the importance of our growth in the spiritual life and the consequences of our failure to do so.

'"We are all called to religious life by our baptism, some in monasteries, some out in the world. We are all called to sanctify our souls for God's glory and the benefit of the Church as a whole ... riveted on Christ, keeping His company through prayer and the Sacraments, submitting ourselves to Him, and of course let us cultivate a solid devotion to Our Lady. She has paid a very high price for our salvation and she thereby merited to dispense the graces her Son won for us, so as long as our devotion to her is strong we will never falter." —Fr. John Brucciani

Fr. Taouk examines the danger of pride and how it hinders our spiritual growth and damages our relation with God and men due to our arrogance making us hateful and blind thus endangering our salvation.

Pope Pius XII published a wonderful encyclical in praise of Our Lady on the occasion of the centenary of the declaration of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. The Enyclical is called Ad Caeli Reginam. And in this encyclical he writes about a truth which is implicitly included in the deposit of the faith, not explicitly but it can be deduced from the other dogmas of the faith: the Queenship of Mary over all of creation.

Fr. Taouk explains how God can take our broken nothingness and raises us to great heights but this requires both that we trust Him and act without rashness. Our rash actions will always be the cause of sorrow and affliction

'At the Annunciation, God was asking Mary to cooperate with His Son in the accomplishment of His saving mission of the Redemption. Just as Eve had played a defining part in the downfall of the human race, God willed that another Eve place a defining part in our Resurrection from Sin. Saint Paul calls Jesus Christ the Second Adam, Who brought for us that divine grace which the first Adam lost of us. And the Fathers echo Saint Paul by calling Mary the Second Eve.' — Sermon by Fr. John Brucciani.

Fr. Taouk explains to us the Church's attribute of Indefectibility and what it means for us during these confusing times in which we live.
