DAILY HOLY MASS:
"Give us this day our daily bread"
Matthew 6

Day after day, hundreds of thousands of Catholic priests around the world get up early in the morning to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to their flocks. Some parishes are urban, with massive attendance. Others are remote, lost in some African village with a handful of attendees. It just never gets old.

Yet all of them are the same. They offer the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. There is truly nothing like the Catholic Church. It is the Bride of Christ! How hard it is NOT to believe in Him.

Amidst the great scandals at times plaguing the human institution of the Church, never for a moment should we fail to see the countless good examples. How many saintly priests get up quietly every day without complaining to offer the faithful the sacraments. Think of the thousands of parish staff that work behind the scenes to make these daily masses happen. Or consider the faith of the little old ladies who hobble down to their pews each day with such love for the Lord and pray rosaries after Mass for the Church. How much they must please the heart of Christ.

In the Church we have saints and sinners. Actually, saints are sinners too but they become saints because they hold fast to the Daily Mass...that daily source of spiritual sustenance for the soul.

God forgive us for focusing too much sometimes on the negative and missing the greater picture of the overwhelming love of Christ. Truly eye has not seen nor ear heard what God has in store for those who love Him.

May we never ever grow accustomed to the easy access we have to Daily Mass especially here in the United States. Take advantage and while you're at it, remember to pray in Thanksgiving for all our priests who serve us night and day.

REPORT: Round One a Success! 1st Catholic Champion Crusade at the University of Tennessee reaches the next generation of Catholic patriots.

On Friday, May 1st, we hit the ground to engage with open Q&A with the students on the Catholic Faith. What I saw on the ground were young people hungry for this open conversation about what it means to be Catholic. The high percentage of young men that came tracks with the national statistics of young men coming back to Church.

We talked about a range of issues that were on their minds. Issues discussed ranged from the role of Mary, to the morality of IVF, to the meaning of relics, to the Catholic view on Zionism and other things.

Rounding off the event with the recitation of the Holy Rosary was a perfect way to witness to the hundreds of college kids who walked by on Campus.

Friday was a first. Catholics for Catholics is set to launch many of these when the fall semester begins. We need to take Christ to the heart of culture and work to convert the next generation of Americans. To convince someone of conservative principles is noble. But to help them find Christ in His Church is the greatest gift we can give someone!

REST IN PEACE: A Catholic Patriot and Legend, Bishop Rene Henry Gracida passes away this morning. He was 102 years old. 🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

I have some sad news to share.

Our team was up early this morning on our way to the University of Tennessee for our first ever “Catholic Champion Crusade.” When I checked my phone I received a message from the caretaker of a dear friend.

The message read:
“I’m so sorry. I lost Bishop tonight.”

I was stunned. Bishop Rene Henry Gracida, an American hero from World War Two, and the Country’s oldest bishop passed away at 102 years old in Corpus Christi, Texas. His story, from surviving over 30 missions as tailer gunner on a B17, to being one of the most courageous bishops in American history, makes him an absolute legend.

When I visited him just a few weeks ago, little did I know that my interview with him would be the last recorded one that he ever did. Over a century of service, and in that short visit we have recorded his last “homily” and words of wisdom for the new generation of Catholic patriots. I invite you to watch this video and let his words sink in.

WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fazEN...

Catholics for Catholics had just given Bishop Gracida the “Catholic Champion Award” at our annual Gala in Washington DC in recognition of his service to the Church and Country. We gave him the award on March 19th, Feast of St. Joseph, Husband of Mary. In a twist of God’s providence, Bishop Rene died, on May 1st, Feast of St. Joseph the Worker, the only other day that the Church honors St. Joseph.

What a beautiful end to a remarkable life with the hand of St. Joseph watching over him.

His death has hit me hard. I told him before leaving that he could rest easy because reinforcements were on the way. I said this not with an air of confidence that “we had everything under control”. In fact I said it with a bit of fear. Taking up the flag of the Faith from someone who had carried it so well for over a century is a daunting task.

But that is what we must do and that is what we are doing. Tonight, Catholics for Catholics will launch our 1st Catholic Champion Crusade. We will go to the heart of American culture, to our Universities to debate with our young people and invite them to become Catholic. We must do battle for Christ’s Church because souls are at stake.

Bishop Rene Henry Gracida has left us. We pray for the repose of his soul. If he is already in heaven, we ask him to pray for us here on earth so that we can fight for the Country and serve the Church with the same passion, grit, and humility that he did for so long.

Rest in peace soldier for Christ. You can head home. The next B17 Crew is up and ready for action.

God Bless and Fight On!

"Recall then that you have received the spiritual seal, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of right judgment and courage, the spirit of knowledge and reverence, the spirit of holy fear in God's presence.

Guard what you have received. God the Father has marked you with his sign; Christ the Lord has confirmed you and has placed his pledge, the Spirit, in your hearts."

JUST IN: In a statement signed by Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, The Assembly of Catholic Ordinaries of the Holy Land confirms attacks by the IDF on Christians are not isolated incidents but many.

He expressed its "profound indignation and unreserved condemnation of the desecration of a representation of Jesus Crucified by an Israeli soldier in a Lebanese village."

"This act constitutes a grave affront to the Christian faith and adds to other reported incidents of desecration of Christian symbols by IDF soldiers in southern Lebanon."

A CALL FOR HOLY REPARATION: We waited till the IDF itself confirmed the authenticity of this before reposting. Now that it has, let this photo sink in.

This act of aggression towards Christians by the 1948 State of Israel is not a one off isolated incident. Wake up America. In fact it was only a few weeks ago that the Latin Patriarch, Cardinal Pizzaballa was refused entrance into the Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday of all days.

Make no mistake. To be our “greatest ally” you cannot be an enemy of America’s “greatest friend.” As a Christian country that “greatest friend” of America is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This goes for the 1948 State of Israel just as much as it does for Muslim countries who slaughter Christians in the thousands.

On our knees before Christ the King crucified, we humbly ask forgiveness for our own sins and for the evil act of this IDF soldier.

“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Luke 23

Except that they're not being exposed... President Trump, please hold accountable those accomplices of Jeffrey Epstein who abused so many children. Our Country needs this to heal from this demonic behavior that happened on that island.

CATHOLICS FOR CATHOLICS STATEMENT ON PRESIDENT TRUMP'S ATTACK ON POPE LEO XIV

President Trump’s attack on Pope Leo yesterday, Sunday April 12, was disheartening and merits an apology. His subsequent post depicting himself as Jesus is as dangerous as it is scandalous to all Christians. The speed with which the picture was removed confirms the mistake that it was.

These actions follow the Holy Week Prayer Service at the White House, where the President’s close pastors and “pastoress” dangerously declared that whatever he chooses to do will be “blessed by God.” Putting yourself as the highest moral authority as a leader is a recipe for disaster.

The current situation surrounding some of the recent online attacks from President Trump is alarming. Christians are still reeling from his Easter Morning vulgar rant about attacking Iran. Increasingly, it seems that he is surrounded by an inner circle, one that is heavily influenced by a Zionist “Israel First” cohort, who tell him exactly what he wants to hear. When President Trump boasts on social media that a CNN poll has him at a 100% approval rating, while the base shows a completely different picture, that should be a cause for concern.

The attack on Pope Leo is primarily a reaction to the Holy Father’s courageous calls for peace amidst the Iran War and Israel’s bloody destruction of southern Lebanon. It’s a war that is highly unpopular, especially among Catholics who sense the immorality of the whole conflict, let alone the net loss for America. Israel has pulled us into the war and continues to threaten the peace with their insatiable desire for territorial expansion. Meanwhile, American money and blood pay for this “Greater Israel” project.

President Trump is absolutely wrong to tell the Pope not to speak up on issues like this. That is precisely the role of the Church, to be a voice of morality in the public square. We are grateful to the Holy Father for speaking up bravely on this.

At the same time, we must address a troubling trend. There is a well-organized attempt by the left to sever the Catholic base from the Republican Party, which up until now has been more aligned with Catholic teaching than the Democrat Party. The Democrats still have not recovered from the historic landslide that Catholics delivered to President Trump in the 2024 election. The recent amplifications of a discord between Rome and the White House, oftentimes exaggerated, trace back to left-leaning “Catholics in name only,” who are determined to swing the Catholic vote back in the other direction.

This is a highly coordinated operation from key Obama advisors and prominent liberal Catholic clergy intentionally stoking the flames of discord with the intention of separating the Catholic base from the Republican Party. The recent CBS interview with Cardinals McIlroy, Cupich, and Tobin, speaking out against the Iran War while failing to ever address the scandals of “Catholic” President Joe Biden, demonstrates this point. Catholic patriots ought to be prudently aware of who is behind these provocations.

In this sense, President Trump is right to ask the Holy Father about his high-profile meeting with key Obama strategist David Axelrod. Without clarification, this meeting threatens to drag the Pope into the group described above that is not operating out of love for truth, but out of a sinister desire for disunity. The independent voice of the Holy Father as the Vicar of Christ, solely focused on defending the Faith, is what we all desire and pray for.

The role of the Catholic patriot in America is more crucial than ever. Our Faith gives us the freedom never to be sheep that follow blindly a political leader or even a Pope who may at times err in his prudential judgments. We are sheep, but sheep that follow the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ, whose teachings, found in the Catholic Church, are what we must live and die for.

In closing, let us pray for President Trump. The demands and pressures of the job of President are unparalleled. He is under intense pressure, and he deserves our unfailing prayers. Let us not fail to remember the tremendous good that President Trump has done for America.

We ask God to bless him, and we ask that our Church may be the support for this Republic that it needs to be to remain one nation under God.

John Yep
President
