  🔸 Monday Night at the Movies- June 2026 – Prophets & Pilgrims Prophecy in June is a pilgrimage through the Church’s feasts. These films follow the soul from guilt to purification, from conscience to renunciation, and finally to a vocation lived in motion. Each week’s feast sharpens the film’s meaning and reveals a different face of the prophet’s call. Jun 1 – The Informer (1935) St. Justin Martyr A prophet begins in the ruins of his own failure. Gypo’s betrayal and collapse mirror Justin’s insistence on truth: falsehood destroys, repentance clarifies. Jun 8 – Stromboli (1950) Sacred Heart / Immaculate Heart Karin’s volcanic exile becomes purification. As the Hearts of Jesus and Mary burn with love, Stromboli burns away pride and forces a reckoning with God. Jun 15 – A Man for All Seasons (1966) St. Barnabas Barnabas stands firm in the Spirit; Thomas More does the same. Here the pilgrimage becomes confrontation — conscience refusing to bow before power. Jun 22 – The Abdic...

  June 27 — Day 4 of the Nine Days The Jordan as Surrender “He must increase; I must decrease.” John’s greatness is not in his voice or his austerity. His greatness is in his surrender. At the Jordan, he steps aside. He gives away the crowds, the attention, the authority. He decreases so that Christ may rise. This is the hinge of holiness: not achievement, but relinquishment. Not grasping, but yielding. If Day 1 is the Voice, Day 2 the Furnace, Day 3 the Test, Day 4 is the Surrender. A nation approaching its 250th year must learn this again: less ego, more service; less posturing, more humility; less self‑assertion, more room for God. Prayer Jesus, teach me the grace of decreasing. Empty me of pride, noise, and self‑importance. Do this in my nation, that You may increase.

  Corvette to Work day -Another Joe Biden special June 26 — Day 3 of the Nine Days The Wilderness as Testing “Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tested.” The wilderness is not punishment. It is the proving ground of sons. Here, comfort is gone. Here, the appetites speak loudly. Here, the enemy whispers shortcuts and half‑truths. But the wilderness is where obedience becomes real. Where strength becomes interior. Where a man learns to prefer God’s will over his own. If Day 1 is the Voice, If Day 2 is the Furnace, Day 3 is the Test. A nation cannot mature without testing. Prosperity has softened us; abundance has distracted us. The wilderness strips us back to dependence — and dependence is the beginning of wisdom. Prayer Lord Jesus, lead me into the wilderness You choose. Test what must be tested, and make my obedience whole. Do the same for my country.
