Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Wednesday, May 3rd - 2023 – St. Ansfrid St. Ansfrid, Count of Brabant, led a successful military career before dedicating his life to God. He founded an abbey at Heiligenberg and a convent at Thorn, which were built with the financial support of his wife. Together, they agreed to live as brother and sister in perfect chastity. When he retired from his military career, he proclaimed his dedication to fighting for the glory of God and the conquest of souls. Ansfrid was later appointed Bishop of Utrecht, but he continued to take leave of his work to make retreats at one of the monasteries he had founded. He died in 1010 and was soon recognized for his saintly life. The life of St. Ansfrid shows the unity of a life lived in continuous combat in both the spiritual and temporal spheres. He was a knight-errant fighting on behalf of the poor, widows and orphans for the love of Christ, and later, as a bishop, he fought for the salvation of souls. This attitude is in contrast with the pacifist mentality of our times that sees any combat, be it ideological or material, as evil in itself. The life of St. Ansfrid invites us to imitate his militancy and enjoy the fight for a superior cause, which is the cause of Our Lady. St. Ansfrid, Pray for us.

Catholic Drive Time - 877-757-9424 Date – Thursday, May 25th - 2023 – Pope St. Gregory VII St. Gregory VII, a Pope known for his unwavering teachings, defended the Pope's rights over the Church and the spiritual authority over the temporal realm. His most controversial work, the Dictatus Papae, faced criticism from progressive theologians. It expressed his view on the relationship between the Pope and the Emperor, specifically concerning the Emperor's control over Church affairs and the election of Bishops. St. Gregory VII vigorously opposed the Emperor's interference, aiming to dismantle the imperial government's ambitions and humiliate its pretensions. He succeeded in asserting the authority of the Papacy over temporal matters. The Dictatus Papae outlined St. Gregory VII's belief in the Papal Monarchy as a universal spiritual authority. While the temporal power governed independently, the Pope's influence over the Empire was significant. The temporal power was seen as a tool to protect the Catholic Church, defend the Faith, and combat its enemies, acting under the Pope's guidance. This concept established two distinct and independent powers: the spiritual under the Pope and the temporal under the Emperor and secular rulers. St. Gregory VII's victory over the Emperor solidified the Papacy as the center of society during the Middle Ages. The Pope held the highest position, followed by the Emperor, and then the temporal sovereigns. The entire Catholic Hierarchy stood alongside the Pope in the spiritual realm. In essence, everything relied on the Pope's authority. On the feast day of St. Gregory VII, we are encouraged to seek his intercession for the restoration of this vision, which harmonizes the spiritual and temporal orders. The revival of this perspective will mark the dawn of the Reign of Mary. Similarly, when the Reign of Mary arrives, this vision will be fully realized. Let us pray to St. Gregory VII, asking God to bring back his sublime vision to Earth, for it holds the key to finding the right path in our lives. Pope St. Gregory VII, Pray for us.
