Implementing Our Resolutions

Octave of the Nativity 2026

On this day the Church celebrates three feasts in one.  Firstly, the Octave Day of the Nativity which concludes the eight days of Christmas celebration.  Secondly, the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary which was established to combat the attacks on her Divine Maternity.  And lastly, the Circumcision of Our Lord, the moment in which Christ shed His first drops of Precious Blood for us and received the name of “Jesus” – “Savior.”

As we begin a new year, we must not give in to fear and anxiety about the future or discouragement for the mistakes of the past but make good use of the graces in the present.  By creating and implementing a plan for the changes we wish to make this year, we can lay the foundation upon which our spiritual life may flourish.

A Prayerful Man

Sunday within the Octave of Christmas 2025
It is believed that the angels sang the words “Gloria in Excelsis Deo,” and even sang the entire Gloria as we sing it today.  From the most ancient times, this beautiful hymn of praise has been sung to God.  We will never be able to understand how God could become one of His creatures.  If you want to accomplish anything in life, it must be through prayer.  St. Bonaventure taught us this lesson.  Every Catholic should appreciate how necessary it is to pray.  It is easy for us to love, and a heart of love is a heart of prayer.

The Gentle King

Christmas Morning 2025
Holy Mother Church celebrates three unique Masses on this day to relive the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  The Mass at Midnight expresses the Son being begotten from all eternity from the Father.  The Mass at Dawn emphasizes the temporal birth of our incarnate Lord.  The Mass celebrated this morning calls to mind the spiritual birth of Christ in each of our individual souls.  How blessed we are to have been given the True Faith in its entirety.  The Gospel for this Mass is taken from the beginning of St. John’s Gospel.  We read that the Word was in the beginning with God and that the Word is God.  Today we tell Christ that we will live and die for Him.  The greatest of all gifts we have received is the divine life we possess in our souls. If we refuse to give up this gift, then we have already won.

Our First Look at the Face of God

Christmas Midnight Mass 2025
Surrounded by so many doubts and challenges, even those who believe in the great mystery of the Incarnation may be tempted to question if this is possible.  But it is the truth.  The Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, in a moment in time, took to Himself a human nature like ours.  For the first time God had a heart and was capable of loving us with love both human and divine.  He could now experience the emotions of sorrow and joy in a depth unimaginable.  When we come to church, we must always remember that we are here first to give, not to receive.  The profit we receive is only secondary and in proportion to our generosity.  Our Lord remains in the tabernacle as our Companion and to rescue us from the devil and his human agents on Earth.  Christmas is a foretaste of the final victory we will all enjoy at the end of time.

Holy Anticipation

Sermon on the 4th Sunday of Advent 2025
Although he is not commemorated when his feast falls on a Sunday, St. Thomas the Apostle is a great saint who should be remembered by all Catholics. Because of his doubt, we were all given a proof of the bodily Resurrection of Our Lord. To this day we repeat his beautiful words: “My Lord and my God!”

This day is all about sorrow for our sins and preparation of the coming of Christ. In the early years of the Church, the Christians would gather in the ancient St. Peter’s Basilica for a vigil Mass. We pray just as the early Catholics that we will remain as faithful as possible during these last days of preparation. After asking for forgiveness for our sins, with a contrite heart, we should not think of ourselves anymore but fix our attention on God alone.

The Spiritual Crusade

3rd Sunday of Advent 2025
Gaudete Sunday – This day, which expresses a mitigated joy in the midst of suffering, has a more profound meaning for us now than ever before.  To suffer joyfully with Christ is truly what it means to be a Christian.  We have been given a wonderful example of this self-sacrificing love in Maria de la Luz who courageously stood against the enemies of the Church and willingly sacrificed her life for Our Lord.  In our current day, we must face persecution with the same steadfast spirit, and use every attack as a greater impetus to strive for sanctity.

A Woman Clothed with the Sun


Immaculate Conception 2025 – Evening Mass
The Epistle for this Mass was chosen by the Church for this day and applied to the Blessed Virgin Mary because she was so perfectly united to the Son of God in His Incarnation.  This sublime mystery is often misunderstood, but the true doctrine refers to her miraculous preservation from original sin from the moment of conception in the womb of St. Anne.  The devil has waged war against the offspring of Our Lady, as described in the book of the Apocalypse.  She was given the privilege of being preserved from sin in preparation for her great vocation as Mother of God and her intimate cooperation in our redemption.

Her Unique Redemption

Sermon From The Feast Of The
Immaculate Conception 2025

We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have shown their loyalty, support, and love in the face of the attacks of the enemies of the Faith.

Pope Pius IX had said that declaring the dogma of the Immaculate Conception was one of the greatest moments of his life.  It was as if Our Lord Himself were speaking when this dogma was defined.  The Blessed Mother was redeemed in a more perfect way than the rest of mankind.  She was not liberated from sin but preserved from it.  Sanctifying grace is the greatest gift we have been given in this life, and the Virgin Mary possessed this gift from the first instant of her existence.  Though she was not under the curse of Adam and the punishment of death, she died in imitation of and in union with her Divine Son. The love of the Blessed Mother for her Son was sensitive and intense and we, who were given to her on Calvary, share in that love.

Our Historical Moment

Second Sunday of Advent 2025
St. Paul is our Apostle and his words in this Epistle are directed to us.  We can only remain hopeful if we do not rely on ourselves.  St. John the Baptist knew that Our Lord was the Messias.  He only sent his followers to question Christ to prove that fact to them.

We are witnessing a historical time in the Church.  The faithful are facing a heavy-handed tyranny which seeks to exterminate the traditional beliefs and practices of our Faith.  We must prioritize God above everything else in our life in this historical moment.  No one can separate us from the love of Christ and His Holy Mother.

The Attacks on God’s Church

Sermon On The
1st Sunday of Advent 2025
Evil has existed in the world from the very beginning and within the Church since the time of the Apostles.  Throughout the ages, the devil has attempted time and again to attack and destroy the true Church.  In recent times, the Church was infiltrated by communists and freemasons.  The abuses introduced by the Second Vatican Council were in direct defiance of Pope St. Pius V’s Quo Primum and the perennial teaching and practice of Catholics.  The unprecedented crisis we find ourselves in today is a clear demonstration of the fruits of this council.  We should thank God often for what he has given us in these times of persecution.  We should look forward to receiving the Son of God on Christmas Day as Our Lady and St. Joseph desired to see Him before He entered the world.
