Mary Live with Dr. Mark Miravalle - Post-Election Spiritual Direction

·25 min·2 clips

Dr. Mark Miravalle explains why the 2024 election victory demands gratitude but also spiritual vigilance against upcoming upheaval.

The episode opens on November 6, 2024, the day after the U.S. presidential election, with Dr. Mark Miravalle responding to listener questions about the results and spiritual direction. He expresses gratitude for the victory of the 'more pro-life, traditional family, pro-God' candidate but acknowledges concerns that abortion has become a secondary issue. Miravalle argues that even without deep moral reasoning, voters rejected policies like transgenderism and biological boys in girls' sports based on natural law. He then shifts to post-election spiritual guidance, warning that nearly half the country is dissatisfied and may react with civil disobedience, citing reports of shopkeepers in liberal cities barricading windows. Miravalle emphasizes this is not a time for a 'spiritual vacation' and connects the timing to the recent Solemnity of All Saints. He discusses the call to sainthood, using examples like Padre Pio, St. Thomas Aquinas, Mother Teresa, and John Paul II to illustrate that each person must follow their unique path. The host predicts upcoming tribulation, referencing domestic polarization and global threats including Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Iran, China-Taiwan, and natural disasters like hurricanes and flooding. He ties these to Marian messages at Fatima and Akita about 'annihilation of nations' and 'fire falling from the sky.' Miravalle outlines a spiritual response centered on the 'Catholic Triangle': the Eucharist, devotion to Mary (especially the rosary), and obedience to the Holy Father. He advises focusing on vocational duties rather than excessive media consumption. Finally, he promotes the Prayer of the Lady of All Nations, an approved prayer asking Jesus to send the Holy Spirit to prevent degeneration, disasters, and war. Miravalle provides contact information for free prayer cards and leads listeners in reciting the prayer, concluding with a call to maintain peace and joy through faith basics.
