- [God’s Mercy For The Merciful](https://servi.org/sermon/gods-mercy-for-the-merciful/) - 21st Sunday after Pentecost 2024 The Gospel for this Mass gives us hope in God’s mercy and fear of His justice. The debt we owe God for a single sin we have committed we could never hope to repay, so when we approach Our Lord at every Mass we beg for His mercy in the
- [Plead For The Children!](https://servi.org/sermon/plead-for-the-children/) - 22nd Sunday after Pentecost 2024 This Sunday is a fitting prequel to the feast of Christ the King, reminding us of all we owe Our Lord.

- [His Priestly Reign](https://servi.org/sermon/his-priestly-reign/) - Feast of Christ the King 2024 This feast was instituted in our times to combat secularism.

- [Our God-given Peace](https://servi.org/sermon/our-god-given-peace/) - 22nd Sunday after Pentecost 2013 We believe in the liturgical law, and that the law of belief follows that of prayer. This is why the deformation of the liturgy is so diabolically dangerous. Throughout the Mass and especially as we approach the moment of Communion, we pray for peace – the tranquility of order. This
- [Love Alone Matters](https://servi.org/sermon/love-alone-matters/) - 24th Sunday after Pentecost 2024 If Catholics choose to vote, they should be aware of the importance of voting with a well-informed conscience on the moral teachings of the Church.

- [This Is Our Feast](https://servi.org/sermon/this-is-our-feast/) - All Saints Day 2017 The origins of this feast of All Saints come from the consecration of the church St. Mary of the Martyrs (formerly the pagan Pantheon temple) and the transfer of many of the relics of the martyrs from the catacombs to this church.
