Everything Is For The Saints

November 1, 2023By

All Saints Day 2023
St. John expresses God’s love and mercy for the Hebrews in today’s passage from the Apocalypse, but it is also a call for all men.  Every man is called to be a saint.  The origins of this feast go back to the beginning of time, because even the angels are included today.  We gain innumerable graces when we imitate the saints.  Today we also make up for neglecting the saints throughout the previous year.  One soul is worth more than all the rest of creation.  It is not only possible but necessary for us to be saints.  We must be Christians, not in name only, but we must be truly Christlike.

We Have No King But Christ

October 29, 2023By

Christ The King 2023
Salvation is all that matters.  It is necessary that every person and every government should be Catholic.  Today the Church authorities tell us that we must not make converts.  This is cruelty because charity demands that we help our neighbor.  Christ said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.”  When we pray “Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven,” we are asking for the social kingship of Christ.  Christ is the absolute and supreme King.  We must take courage because Christ has overcome the world.

The Sword Of Salvation

October 22, 2023By

21st Sunday after Pentecost 2023
The martyrology, used in the Divine Office, is a great treasure of the Church.  We belong to the Catholic Church, which alone possesses the mark of holiness.  Not only was the Founder holy, being God Himself, but its truths and sacraments are holy and lead men to sanctity.  We are not fighting against flesh and blood but against spiritual enemies.  The sacraments are the greatest help against temptations.  We must pray, remain occupied, and when we are tempted, we must respond promptly.  The ingratitude we see in the Gospel is rampant in our own age.

We Are Offered With Christ

October 15, 2023By

20th Sunday after Pentecost 2023
The three principal parts of the Mass are the Offertory, the Consecration, and the Communion of the Priest.  If we miss one of these parts, we have not assisted at Mass.  We are united to the sacrifice and are offered up with Christ.  The Mass is the purpose of creation, because it is the essence of religion and the greatest means of offering honor to God.  We are told to redeem the time we have lost.  We have the grace to make a conversion at any moment.  We need to pray fervently, because our salvation depends on it.

Our Invitation To Heaven

October 8, 2023By

19th Sunday after Pentecost 2023
The Epistle for today’s Mass speaks of Baptism, in which the “new man” of Sanctifying Grace is given to the soul, and the Holy Trinity comes to dwell within it. St. Paul tells us not to give place to the devil, and we can follow his direction by the use of the Rosary and the Brown Scapular. The wedding feast of the Gospel refers to Heaven, and the Rosary is the prayer which takes us there. We cannot enter Heaven without the wedding garment of Sanctifying Grace.

Our Hand In Hers

October 6, 2023By

First Friday October 2023
There have been many sacramentals in honor of the Blessed Virgin, but the Dominican Rosary seems to be favored above all others.  The Rosary is the sign of a true Catholic.  It is a beautiful prayer, but it is difficult and is often neglected because it requires effort.  The Rosary is particularly a gift for our modern times because it is a weapon against secularism, religious indifferentism, and the other heresies which abound.  It disposes a person for infused contemplation.  This is what we pray for when we ask that we “may imitate what [the mysteries of the Rosary] contain and obtain what they promise.”

Running To Our Lord

October 3, 2023By

Feast of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus 2023
Investiture of Sister Rose Michael
When the priest gives the habit of Mount Carmel, it is Christ Himself giving the habit and all the graces attached to it.  God wishes that a person embrace religion willingly, without any external pressure.  In poverty we place all our trust in divine assistance.  In chastity we experience the true meaning of love, offering body and soul to our Divine Savior.  In holy obedience we follow God’s Will through our superiors.  God is calling us to live a life joined to the Passion.  We will be sanctified if we maintain great desires in our holy vocation.

Evil Thoughts Of Our Hearts

October 1, 2023By

18th Sunday after Pentecost 2023
Today we see a shift in the liturgy as the Church begins to focus on the end of time.  It is teaching us not to avert our eyes from our coming judgement.  The Gospel for today gives a warning against sins of thought, and St. Alphonsus tells us that sins of thought on a person’s death bed are the greatest cause of the loss of grace in those last moments.  God has chosen to save men through the help of other men.  This is why we should seek good spiritual direction and diligently apply the lessens we receive in sermons.

His Battle Is Continued In Us

September 29, 2023By

Feast of St. Michael 2023
Devotion to St. Michael predates the Church herself.  In the Old Testament he was the protector of God’s people and now he is the protector of the Catholic Church.  St. Michael is truly a universal devotion and can be found throughout the centuries in both the Eastern and Western Church.  We should imitate the priest and call upon the help of this great Archangel at every Mass to protect us against temptations in our prayers.  St. Michael defends those who are loyal to Christ, but he will justly punish the proud.

Concerning The Pope

September 24, 2023By

Q&A Conference September 2023
The question of the validity of the current pontificate has come to the fore more than ever because of its great importance for Catholics.  The danger of schism and the principle that no Catholic is capable of officially judging the pope are the reasons why one must be very careful and ensure he is taking the safest path on this matter.  Although a person may possess the intellectual competency to have a personal belief about the validity of the current pontificate, one must have the authoritative competency to make a definitive statement on behalf of the Church.
