In Se Propter Deum

May 21, 2023By

Sunday After Ascension 2023
First Communion Sunday – We hear about the supremacy of the virtue of charity in today’s Epistle.  It is an infused virtue which allows us to love God as He loves Himself. Many people are egocentric, and the only way they view their neighbor is by his usefulness.  Catholics know that our neighbors are either children of God or are called to be so.   Many people only look at God for what He might give them.  We may only ask for His help, but God asks for our hearts.  We love our neighbor in se propter Deum – in himself for God’s sake.

The Heroic Life Of Mothers

May 14, 2023By

5th Sunday after Easter 2023
This Mass prepares us for the feast of the Ascension.  We are joyful because “God has liberated His people.”  There are many who hear the word, but it does not move them to action.  The faith of those people is dead, and they will not enter Heaven.  We look to the Blessed Mother as the model of all mothers.  We see her share her Divine Son with the world.  She offers up her Son on the cross for the love of God and all mankind who are also her children. It is a heroic life to be a good mother.

His Necessary Departure

May 7, 2023By

4th Sunday after Easter 2023
This is a season of consolations, but we know the consolations must soon pass.  We see the heinousness of the sin committed in condemning Christ to death even more clearly when we witness the great gifts given to the Apostles on Pentecost.  The Gospel for today proves the Catholic belief in the Filioque – that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son.  In our own spiritual life, it is sometimes necessary for Christ to hide Himself from us so that we may live more perfectly by Faith with the help of the Holy Spirit.

True And False Obedience

April 30, 2023By

3rd Sunday after Easter 2023
Only those who are sorry receive that forgiveness of Christ.  Our Lord in this Gospel says that in a little while He will die and then in a little while His Apostles will see Him alive again in glory.  It is not in the Resurrection but in His glorious Second Coming when we shall experience joy unimaginable.  We are told that those who pray will be saved and through mystic prayer we may begin to experience Heaven on Earth.  We should read the lives of the Saints and imitate them according to supernatural prudence.

Complete Trust In The Shepherd

April 23, 2023By

2nd Sunday after Easter 2023
There is only one fold and one shepherd. We have complete trust in Christ as our Good Shepherd, and it is the call of all priests and bishops to watch over the flock and to bring those who are lost back to the true fold. As we have heard before and we continue to reiterate, the price of our salvation is the Blood of the Lamb – the Blood of Christ, shed for our salvation. The beautiful Paschal Candle stands as a consoling reminder of Christ’s presence with us for the forty days after His Resurrection.

One Redeemer, One Priesthood

April 16, 2023By

Low Sunday 2023
50th Priestly Anniversary of Fr. Ward
We are here first to love and honor God, because this day is dedicated to thanking Him.  We thank God for sending us a holy priest, for the Church, and for her truth.  What better day to speak about the priesthood than the day on which we were given the sacrament of Penance.  The words of Our Lord, “you shall be holy because I am holy,” were said to everyone, but first of all to His priests.  It was Christ who said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of God.”  Priests are privileged to share in the royal lineage as Christ Himself.

The True Passover

April 8, 2023By

Easter Vigil 2023
Everything is dark at the beginning of this ceremony, just as it was before the creation of the cosmos.  The darkness is representative of the Old Testament, while the Lumen Christi, or Light of Christ, is the New Testament.  The completion of the Passover takes place this evening.  Evidence has been found in recent years of the passage through the Red Sea, but tonight, in a real way, we celebrate the true Passover, which is renewed through the liturgy.  All of creation is made clear to us this night.  Our faith is made perfect in the Resurrection.

Children of The Hebrews

April 2, 2023By

Palm Sunday 2023
We are a liturgical people, and as we pray so we believe.  Christ bridged the gap between God and man, and He gives us the vehicle through which we may bridge that gap back to Him, in the sacraments and sacramentals of the Church.  Sacramentals are given by Christ through the Church, and the grace we receive is dependent upon our fervor.  The palm gives us the victory; it gives us the strength to persevere towards Heaven.  We should fight during these days to be as close to Our Lord as possible.

Closing Our Eyes to the World

March 26, 2023By

Passion Sunday 2023
During the season of Passiontide, we are meant to die completely to the “old man.”  Our conversion during Lent is now to be perfected during these last two weeks.  We have not only given up our vices, but now even the spiritual consolations that we find in the saints, and the greatest consolation of the crucifix, are all veiled and removed from our view.  We have been given the chance to close our eyes to the world and practice true recollection in our mediation on Christ’s sufferings.  With the use of the Mass, we can amend all the shortcoming of our Lenten practices, and be truly united to the sacrifice of our Savior.

The Fight for Salvation

March 19, 2023By

Laetare Sunday 2023
As we pass the middle of Lent, we are given this Sunday a spirit of joy.  The Holy Catholic Church is the new Jerusalem, and we, as the Church Militant, are called to fight for our salvation with the use of prayer and the sacraments.  There are no exceptions when it comes to accepting God’s Word and the articles of Faith.  In the miracle of this Gospel account, we see the figure of the Eucharist and Baptism in the multiplication of the loaves and fishes.
