Greetings, young slayers! In today’s episode, Sir Rolland continues the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary with the Wedding at Cana.

Through Mary’s simple instruction, “Do whatever He tells you,” we learn that humility and...

Greetings, young slayers! In today’s episode, Sir Rolland begins the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary with the Baptism of the Lord.

Greetings, young slayers! In today’s episode, Sir Rolland uses the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Maidens to show how keeping our lamps full of oil prepares us for the Bridegroom — and how neglect and selfishness feed the Violet Dragon of Lust.

Greetings, young slayers! In today’s episode, Sir Rolland warns us about the danger of pride through the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18.

Greetings, young slayers! Today we reflect on the words of St. Augustine—“Ever ancient, ever new.” Like St. Augustine, we’ve all been tempted to worship the gifts instead of the Giver.

The dragons want us distracted, but the saints remind us that every good gift points back to its source: God Himself. This week...

Greetings, young slayers! In today’s episode, Sir Rolland learns the hard way what happens when you’re not ready for the Master’s return.
