🌹 Custom baby & children's rosary sale starts tomorrow 10/15, the biggest of the year! Shop Abundantly Yours: https://abundantlyyours.org/aftermass Sydney Sweeney's nearly nude sports betting ad was called degrading to women. Weeks later, Shane Gillis was called a misogynist on SNL for criticizing what women wear to the gym. Our culture is arguing about modesty without realizing it. Today we look at what the Church actually teaches about modesty: the Catechism's surprising words about advertising, St. Thomas Aquinas's four kinds of modesty, modesty of the tongue, custody of the eyes, and the fruits of a culture that threw modesty away. 📚 Books mentioned in this video: Introduction to the Devout Life: https://link.amazon/B02xBl5k0 Training the Tongue and Growing Beyond Sins of Speech: https://link.amazon/B04KveGjT Mary, Mother most pure, pray for us. #Modesty #Catholic #SydneySweeney #ShaneGillis #AfterMass

🌹 Custom baby & children’s rosary sale starts 10/15, the biggest of the year! Shop Abundantly Yours: https://abundantlyyours.org/aftermass The Pentagon plans to livestream the December firing-squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, which would be the first public execution in America in 90 years. The U.S. bishops called it “a barbaric promotion of a culture of death,” and the archbishop for the military told Catholic soldiers to ask to be excused. Online, many Catholics are pushing back, pointing out that Scripture, the Church Fathers, St. Thomas Aquinas, and even popes once accepted capital punishment. So is the Church contradicting herself? Today we go through what the Church actually taught, how doctrine develops, the honest debate over the word “inadmissible,” and why even the strongest defenders of the death penalty in Catholic history never defended making it a spectacle. Please pray for the victims of the Fort Hood shooting and their families. Our Lady of Good Counsel, pray for us. #Catholic #DeathPenalty #ChurchTeaching #CultureOfLife #AfterMass

🌹 Preorder the NEW St. Francis & St. Gemma rosaries from Abundantly Yours: https://abundantlyyours.org/aftermass Every October, Catholics are told Halloween is a pagan festival in disguise. Today we look at the real history: how All Saints' Day spread from Rome, why early Irish Christians kept their feast of all saints in April, where the "Lord of the Dead" myth came from, how soul cakes became trick-or-treating, and how the Reformation and the twentieth century reshaped the night before All Saints. All you holy men and women, pray for us. #Halloween #AllHallowsEve #Catholic #AfterMass

Plus, three simple things you can start tonight to pray for the dying. St. Faustina, pray for us. #StFaustina #DivineMercy #Catholic #AfterMass

AFTERMASS: https://aftermass.org FREE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER: https://aftermass.org/#newsletter Taking September off from YouTube + the podcast 🤍 I’m giving myself the month of September to spend some real time working on AfterMass and a few other projects that have been sitting in my brain for a very long time. One of the biggest things I’m working on is aftermass.org. My hope is to build it into a real Catholic hub for everything that happens after Mass ends. Resources to help you understand the faith, live the liturgical year, pray, learn, wrestle with the questions you’ve been afraid to ask and actually bring Catholicism into your everyday life. I’ve also started the AfterMass Monthly, a free newsletter that comes out at the beginning of each month with the month’s important liturgical dates, a Gospel reflection, saint of the month, a Catholic question answered, an examination of conscience, what’s coming next and more. September’s issue is out now, so make sure you sign up above to get it. 🤍 And then there are a few other things happening behind the scenes... I’m writing a lot. I’ve heard the “Ana, when are you going to write a book?” comments for a long time lol. That’s all I’m saying about that for now. 👀 I have ideas and projects that I keep saying I’ll get to “when I have time” and I finally realized I have to actually make the time. So September is my month to build, write, create, pray about where all of this is going and get some things ready that I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I’ll still be around on Instagram and there will be plenty happening over at AfterMass. YouTube + the podcast will be back in October. 🤍

Tomorrow, August 22, the Church celebrates the Queenship of Mary, eight days after the Assumption. Most Catholics have said "Hail, Holy Queen" hundreds of times without knowing where that title actually comes from or what it means in practice. The answer isn't in medieval royal courts. It's in the ancient Israelite office of the gebirah, the king's mother, the one figure with the standing to bring a request to the throne and be heard. This video traces that office from Solomon and Bathsheba in 1 Kings, through Pope Pius XII's 1954 encyclical establishing the feast, to what it actually means to ask for Mary's intercession today. If you've ever wondered whether praying to Mary is a workaround instead of going straight to God, this explains why the answer is no, and gives you a clearer way to pray the Hail Holy Queen this week.

Padre Pio spent decades hearing confessions, and the sin he came back to most wasn't the one people expected. It was gossip, and more specifically what the Church calls detraction and calumny, revealing or fabricating things about someone who isn't in the room. This video breaks down the difference between rash judgment, detraction and calumny, why truth isn't a defense against it, and a simple test you can run before you speak about someone who isn't there. It also covers where the line is when you're talking about real harm someone did to you, since that's a different category entirely. Examine your conscience this week for the conversations you'd never repeat if the person walked in and heard you.

A team of Italian cardiologists put people on heart monitors and had them pray the rosary in Latin. What they measured surprised even the researchers: praying it at a normal pace slowed people's breathing to almost exactly six breaths a minute, a rate where the heart and blood pressure systems fall into sync. Separately, neuroscientist Dr. Andrew Newberg used brain scans to study what happens during repetitive, verbal prayer like this and found something worth knowing if you've ever finished a rosary feeling like your mind never showed up. This video walks through both studies and what they actually mean, without turning the rosary into a breathing exercise or claiming science can measure grace. It can't.. but it can tell you that a distracted, dry rosary is doing something real in your body whether you feel it or not.

Purgatory gets treated two ways: either as an overcomplicated invention or as something Scripture never actually supports. Both are wrong. Drawing on a video Fr. Mike Schmitz made years ago on Ascension Presents, I break down what purgatory actually is: three simple claims, real scriptural backing (1 Corinthians 3, 2 Maccabees 12) and why it's less about punishment and more about mercy finishing what it started. If you've ever wondered what happens to someone you love after they die.. or wondered what to actually do about it.. this one's for you. 🔗 Fr. Mike Schmitz's original video: https://youtu.be/GnwDDsN6ZfM?si=-219ylpnNcGfekFk #Purgatory #CatholicFaith #FrMikeSchmitz

What if the inconveniences, exhaustion, and suffering you experience every day could actually become prayer? I first heard this practice from Catholic author and speaker Megan Hjelmstad at the Defending the Faith Conference at Franciscan University. Megan is the author of Offer It Up: Discovering the Power and Purpose of Redemptive Suffering, and her approach completely changed the way I think about the ordinary hard moments of my week. In this video, I’m sharing the simple weekly practice I’ve started using to intentionally offer those moments for the people in my life.

St. Francis fasted 40 days every year and it left wounds that never healed. Padre Pio kept the same devotion for the same reason. It's called St. Michael's Lent. It starts this Saturday, August 15th and almost no Catholic outside Franciscan circles has heard of it. In this episode I cover the apparitions at Monte Gargano that started it all. The pope who added a prayer to every Mass after a vision that shook him. And why both saints saw St. Michael as a direct ally in spiritual battle. What you'll learn: The real story behind St. Francis's stigmata Why Padre Pio kept the same devotion to St. Michael The origin of the St. Michael Prayer How to observe St. Michael's Lent starting August 15th #CatholicTikTok #SaintMichael #StFrancis #PadrePio #CatholicFaith #SpiritualWarfare #AfterMass

Saint Ignatius of Loyola once considered walking off a cliff because he couldn't stop confessing sins he wasn't even sure he'd committed. That's scrupulosity and it's more common than most Catholics realize.In this video: what scrupulosity actually is, how it's different from a normal working conscience, where religious OCD fits into the picture, what saints like Ignatius and Alphonsus Liguori actually did about it, and what real, practical help looks like.. spiritually and clinically.If any part of this sounds like your own experience, please don't sit with it alone. Talk to a confessor who understands scrupulosity specifically, and consider talking to a therapist too. Getting help isn sometimes the most direct way back to get back to your spiritual.#Catholic #Scrupulosity #ReligiousOCD #CatholicGuilt #Confession #CatholicMentalHealth

Can your guardian angel read your mind? See your dreams? Know your future? Can you name your guardian angel, and what happens to your angel when you die? Catholic teaching on guardian angels is a lot more specific than most people realize. In this video, we're going through 13 questions about guardian angels, from what St. Thomas Aquinas taught about their knowledge and abilities to what Scripture and Catholic tradition tell us about their role in our lives. We’ll also talk about whether animals have guardian angels, whether twins share one, whether your angel can physically protect you, what St. Gemma Galgani and Padre Pio said about their guardian angels, and why the Church discourages Catholics from naming them. Guardian angels aren't just a nice Catholic idea. Their entire mission is ordered toward helping us get to heaven, and understanding what they actually can and can't do makes that reality even more fascinating.

Are you sanguine, choleric, melancholic, or phlegmatic?The four temperaments have been used by Catholic spiritual writers for centuries as a way of understanding our natural strengths, weaknesses, and patterns in the spiritual life. In this episode, we break down all four temperaments, where the framework came from and what each one can reveal about the particular virtues and vices you may need to pay attention to.We’ll cover the sanguine, choleric, melancholic, and phlegmatic temperaments, including their strengths, common spiritual struggles, dominant vices, corresponding virtues and how your temperament can affect prayer, relationships, discipline, leadership and your examination of conscience. The four temperaments are not Catholic doctrine and they don't determine who you are or how holy you can become. Think of them as a tool for understanding the raw material you're working with and where your particular spiritual battles may be. Which temperament do you think you are? #Catholic #Catholicism #FourTemperaments #CatholicFaith #SpiritualLife #Sanguine #Choleric #Melancholic #Phlegmatic

Fr. Chad Ripperger recently sat down with Shawn Ryan and shared some fascinating Catholic theology about what awaits us after death. Will we interact with relatives who have died? Will we really see our entire family lineage? Did Jesus have a guardian angel? And what does God’s mercy actually look like from the perspective of eternity?In this video, I’m breaking down some of the most interesting parts of their conversation, including what Fr. Ripperger says about our ancestors, the intercession of those who have gone before us, St. Thomas Aquinas on guardian angels, and St. Augustine on why God’s mercy endures forever.

Have you ever wondered how your guardian angel communicates with you? In this video, we break down Fr. Chad Ripperger's explanation of how guardian angels interact with us, how to speak to your guardian angel, and how to recognize the difference between angelic promptings and spiritual deception. This may completely change the way you pray.

Most Catholics fast twice a year and wonder why the same sin is still sitting there untouched. Fasting isn't a diet or a once-a-year obligation, it's a weapon most of us have never picked up. In this video: the actual mechanics of why fasting works, how to start (even if you've never fasted before), and why Christ paired it with prayer for a reason. 🕊️ New videos every week - subscribe for more on saints, apologetics, and living your faith beyond Sunday Mass.

Before Adam. Before Eve. Before the world even existed - there was a war. This video walks through the real story of Lucifer's fall, the first battle in Revelation, and how that one moment set up everything that happens in the garden, on the cross, and in your life right now. If you only know the Adam and Eve story, you're missing the chapter that comes before it. 🔔 Subscribe for more on saints, apologetics, and lived Catholic faith

What actually happens to your soul in the first hour after death? Not the funeral or the grieving, the soul itself. In this video I walk through what the Church actually teaches: the particular judgment that happens immediately at death, why purgatory isn't a punishment but a purification, what the saints and mystics have said about that first encounter with Christ, and the role your guardian angel plays at the moment of death. I also cover why prayer for the dead matters and why the daily examination of conscience is one of the best ways to prepare for what's coming. There's no waiting room, no soul sleep. Total clarity arrives the instant you die, and that changes how you should be living right now. #Catholic #Death #Purgatory

Fr. Chad Ripperger, one of the most experienced exorcists working today, has talked openly about what actually happens in the first minutes of an exorcism, and it's nothing like the movies. No screaming, no spectacle. In this video I break down the quiet, disciplined process behind it: the months or years of Church discernment that happen before anyone ever enters the room, the three specific signs the Church actually looks for, why the priest's own spiritual preparation matters as much as his authority, and the real difference between a formal exorcism and the more common deliverance prayer. This isn't Hollywood. It's the actual, ordinary authority of the Church, and it's more relevant to your own spiritual life than you'd think. #Catholic #Exorcism #SpiritualWarfare

Most Catholics have sat through the Mass hundreds of times and couldn't tell you why any single part happens when it happens. It's not a personal failure.. it's just that nobody ever handed us the blueprint. In this video I walk through the entire structure of the Mass, piece by piece: the Introductory Rites, the Liturgy of the Word, the Liturgy of the Eucharist, and the Concluding Rite - and what's actually happening (and being asked of you) at every stage. I also break down why daily Mass matters just as much as Sunday, even though it looks stripped down. If you've ever gone through the motions without knowing what they mean, this is for you. #Catholic #Mass #Catholicism

How do you know which Catholic voices online you should actually trust? Jesus already gave us the answer. In this video, we unpack what "you will know them by their fruits" really means, what the fruits of the Holy Spirit actually are, and why this teaching is one of the most practical tools for discernment in the digital age.

The last thing you put into your mind before sleep matters more than most people realize. Padre Pio believed those final moments before bed shape your spiritual life in profound ways. Here's what he recommended, why he recommended it, and how a simple nighttime habit can change the way you end every day.

What really happens the moment a priest says the words of absolution? This isn't just about feeling better after confession. The Church teaches that something objective and supernatural takes place, whether you feel it or not. Let's walk through what actually changes in your soul, why penance matters, and what many saints said happens the moment you are forgiven.

Padre Pio believed the people around us shape our spiritual lives far more than we realize. In this video, we look at what he taught about hidden influence, quiet encouragement, and why some of the people closest to us can either help us grow closer to God or slowly pull us away without anyone noticing.

Most people think becoming lukewarm happens all at once. St. John Vianney said it usually happens through one small habit repeated over and over again. In this video, we'll look at what he observed after decades in the confessional, why so many faithful Catholics slowly drift spiritually, and what you can do to break the cycle.

Most Catholics have never been taught the real history behind how we receive communion, or that the "old-fashioned" option is actually still the universal norm. I'm sharing what changed for me, the Eucharistic fast most people don't know existed and being honest about the part of this I haven't fully done yet either. 🕊️ Subscribe for more AfterMass #catholic #eucharist #holycommunion #reversion

"Whosoever dies wearing this scapular shall not suffer eternal fire." That's what Mary said to St. Simon Stock in 1251. This Thursday, July 16th, is the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the day the Church commemorates that apparition. In this video I explain what the Brown Scapular actually is, what Mary promised, and why wearing it isn't as simple as just putting it on. Enrollment, the conditions the Church asks for, and why this devotion has been carried by saints and popes for centuries. #BrownScapular #OurLadyOfMountCarmel #CatholicTikTok #Catholic

St. Louis de Montfort identified 10 evangelical virtues of the Blessed Virgin Mary, virtues so powerful that living them out is described as spiritual warfare against the devil himself. In this video, we walk through all 10: profound humility, lively faith, blind obedience, continual prayer, constant self-denial, surpassing purity, ardent charity, heroic patience, angelic sweetness, and divine wisdom. #CatholicFaith #BlessedVirginMary #LouisDeMontfort #SpiritualWarfare #TrueDevotion

I used to think this was too small to confess. I was wrong. This isn't about explosive anger, no yelling, no scenes. This is about the sharp comment, the edge in your tone, the words you'd never write down and show someone. Scripture calls it out directly in James 3. St. Francis de Sales built his entire pastoral counsel around it. St. John Chrysostom said it's worse when it's aimed at the people who trust us most. And St. Ignatius of Loyola's Examen shows exactly where it starts.. long before the word ever leaves your mouth. If you've ever felt in control on the outside while something sharp was building underneath, this one's for you.

Vatican II is probably the most debated event in modern Catholic history. Some Catholics blame it for everything. Others defend every change that followed it. But very few people have actually read the documents themselves. In this video, we walk through: • Why Vatican II was called• What the Council actually taught• The four constitutions every Catholic should know• What changed after the Council... and what didn't• Why Pope Benedict XVI said Vatican II was being misunderstood• Why Catholics are still debating it more than 60 years later Whether you've been confused by conversations about the Traditional Latin Mass, the Novus Ordo, ecumenism, or religious liberty, my hope is that this gives you a grounded starting point based on the Council itself. The documents are public. Read them. Then decide for yourself.

St. Faustina Kowalska was given a vision of standing before the judgment seat of God, seeing her own soul completely exposed the way God sees it. In this video, we walk through what she saw about the moment of death, the 3 calls Jesus makes to every soul before it dies, and why the Vatican actually banned her writings for almost twenty years before canonizing her. This isn't about fear for its own sake. It's about understanding particular judgment, final judgment and why God's mercy is more patient than we deserve, but not infinite in the way we assume. If you've ever wondered what actually happens the moment you die, what particular judgment means, or why the Church teaches what she does about judgment and mercy, this video breaks it down clearly, using St. Faustina's own Diary and the Church's actual teaching. 🕊️ Subscribe for more videos on Catholic saints, mystics and the truths the Church doesn't shy away from. 📖 Referenced: Diary of St. Faustina Kowalska, Catechism of the Catholic Church #StFaustina #DivineMercy #CatholicTikTok #Purgatory #ParticularJudgment #CatholicFaith #Catholicism #AfterMassWithAna

Trad wife content is everywhere right now - Savanna Faith Stone, Ballerina Farm, Nara Smith, Estee Williams - and people are picking a side and telling us to pick a side but I'm not picking a side. I think the real problem isn't the lifestyle, it's the posture. In this video I break down what's actually going on with the loudest voices in this movement, why some of their "hot takes" are more calculated than they look, and why I think the goal was never trad wife or feminist.. it's becoming a godly woman, and that's a completely different question. #tradwife #catholic #christianwomen

Happy Fourth of July. Most Americans know the names George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams. But almost nobody knows the story of the Catholic family that helped shape the United States from its very beginning. In this video, we look at the remarkable lives of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence, Daniel Carroll, who helped write and sign the Constitution, and Bishop John Carroll, America's first Catholic bishop and founder of Georgetown University. At a time when Catholics couldn't vote, hold public office, or openly practice their faith in many of the colonies, these men helped lay the foundations of the nation we celebrate today. If you're Catholic, this is part of your history. If you enjoyed this video, I'd love for you to subscribe and share it with someone before the Fourth of July. There's a good chance they've never heard this story either. God bless you, and Happy Independence Day. 🇺🇸✝️

What if one of the simplest spiritual practices was also one of the most powerful for your brain? Recent neuroscience has found that writing by hand activates your brain in ways typing simply doesn't. Memory improves. Learning deepens. New neural connections form.

Today, July 1, 2026, the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) consecrated four new bishops in Écône, Switzerland without papal approval, despite repeated public appeals from Pope Leo XIV not to proceed. So what is the SSPX? Why did this happen? Are they Catholic? What's the difference between the SSPX and the FSSP? And what does all of this mean for faithful Catholics who love the Traditional Latin Mass? Many faithful Catholics in SSPX communities sincerely love Christ and His Church.

What Happens To Your Soul w happens to your soul when you receive Holy Communion? Padre Pio spent more than fifty years celebrating the Holy Mass while bearing the wounds of Christ. He called the Eucharist the greatest gift God has given the Church and believed the moments immediately after receiving Communion were some of the most powerful of a Christian's life. In this video, we'll explore what Padre Pio taught about the Eucharist, what the Catholic Church teaches happens to your soul when you receive Holy Communion worthily, and why those few minutes after Communion may be more important than most Catholics realize. Whether you've been Catholic your whole life or you're just beginning to explore the faith, this will completely change the way you experience Mass.

Monsignor Rossetti is a 74 year old exorcist with 50 years of ministry. He posted a 5 minute Facebook video sharing a personal opinion about UFOs and four days later everything he built was gone. Another exorcist said the exact same thing to 2.5 million people and faced no consequences. But what stood out most was that Monsignor Rossetti didn't fight back, didn't rally his 150,000 followers and didn't make it about whether the decision was fair. He just said "I'm sorry" and kept going and I think that's a story worth telling. #catholic #christian #catholicchurch

Once saved always saved is one of the most comforting ideas in modern Christianity. It's also one of the most dangerous. Here's what Scripture, the early Church,and the saints actually say about whether salvation can be lost and what the Catholic Church teaches that most people on both sides aren't willing to reckon with.

Padre Pio warned that the greatest dangers to souls in the last days wouldn't come from outside the Church, but from confusion, spiritual complacency and the loss of the sense of sin. In this video, we're looking at what Padre Pio actually said, how his warnings compare to what we're seeing today and most importantly, what he believed Catholics should do in response. This isn't about fear. It's about being ready. 📿 Confession ✝️ The Eucharist 🙏 The Rosary ❤️ A serious interior life Because if Padre Pio was right, casual Christianity isn't enough. #PadrePio #Catholic #Catholicism #Saints #EndTimes #LastDays #Rosary #Confession #Eucharist #Faith #Prayer #Christianity #CatholicYouTube #SpiritualWarfare #ChurchHistory
