Mustard Seed Cheat Code

Beloved Friends in Christ,

Just two items, one big "week," three quotes, three links, and one prayer "to rule them all." And may God intervene to help the U.S. avoid another war!

Kevin Lee Needs Your Prayers

One of the two or three most important things since Our Lady started the Mary Foundation thirty-four years ago just happened.

A very lovable and uniquely gifted father of seven named Kevin Lee made the brave decision to join the Mary Foundation.

I'm convinced Our Lady sent Kevin to us. His fiat is the answer to three years of my own daily prayers for guidance (I admit it was more like begging).

More details will come, but for now Kevin, his wife Adrien, and my coworkers need your daily prayers—or we will fail.

Kevin is the lynchpin of our Treasure in Heaven initiative to help God transform the United States into the most Catholic nation on earth before 2033. And—I know, I know—such a thing does not seem possible.

Let Jesus assure you, "with God all things are possible." Treasure in Heaven is a small and risky yet pivotal part of a divine plan. It is not my plan.

What hangs in the balance? The expansion of thousands of existing and new Catholic apostolates, the raising up of hundreds of thousands of bonafide saints, the transformation of countless parishes, tens of millions of conversions, and ultimately, the fates of billions of souls worldwide. The end of abortion.

We must not fail.

From corresponding with so many of you, I know the Blessed Mother sent some of you to us because you have a special calling to be persistent and powerful intercessors—and this brings you sublime satisfaction and interior joy, right?

So on Kevin's behalf, I'm writing directly to you, prayer warrior. If you want, let him know that you have his back, by name, every day, just hit reply.

100% Guaranteed Path to Sainthood

A paradox of writing these messages is that even I forget what I wrote in them, and, that a number of you (understandably) only have time to open or skim some of my emails.

In fact, over half of you missed my last message about two very cool signs that your prayers, almsgiving, and self-denials helped Pope Leo XIV get elected. And I also wrote about the historic flag on the moon made in my hometown, of all things.

By the way, after I sent that one out, I kicked myself for not mentioning the importance of last year's nine-month Guadalupe Novena from Cardinal Burke, Father Heilman's powerful U.S. Grace Force, and numerous other prayer movements that remain crucial to securing America's divine destiny.

For those who did read it, your reactions ranged from "I broke down in tears throughout" (some of you) to "Bud sure does have a big head" (one dear friend).

Also, way back in January I wrote about How to Become a Saint, 100% Guaranteed—with a giant assist from the teachings of the famous exorcist, Father Chad Ripperger.

So if you're new to these messages, missed 'em, or just want a second adrenaline shot of hope...

One of the Best Catholic "Weeks"

Today's message falls on the first day of summer and the longest day of the year ("Hurrah!" I cry out, light freak) as a sublime prelude to a spiritually potent week which begins with the Feast of Corpus Christi this Sunday and culminates next Friday and Saturday with the feasts of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

'sneaks up on you right after Easter season, right? Please meet me in the Eucharist.

Three Catholic Quotations to Ponder

"One is a saint only after death. Before, one is on the way."
- Jacques Maritain

"There is no such thing as a defensive battle or a defensive campaign, save in the sense that we may begin on the defensive, but only with the fixed object of turning to the offensive at the right moment."
- Hillaire Belloc

"Everyone argues in favor of the virtue he practices easily, and exaggerates the difficulties of the virtues which are contrary to it."
- Saint Francis de Sales

Jesus Quote

"For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17:20)

Time to Pray...

...tens of thousands of us together, all over the world, beginning in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit...

In your Holy Name, Jesus, through the intercession of Saint Joseph, by the infinite merits of the your Precious Body and Blood, we humbly pledge and beg for the grace to offer our every thought, word, and deed in complete obedience, however imperfect, to your Most Sacred Heart and your mother's Immaculate Heart, today, and tomorrow, and all the days thereafter, in time, through eternity. Amen.

Thanks for reading. Thank you for being a part of our lives and our work. Thank you for your ardent love for souls.

And away we literally go. Wait for it...

Love everyone.

Let nothing disturb you.

Ask and you shall receive.

The dragon shall fall.

God alone suffices.

So smile and wave, boys, smile and wave...

...because you guys are the best! Stay frosty.

With Our Lady of Lourdes,
