The Judgment of God

December 18, 2022By

4th Sunday Of Advent 2022
The theme of the Epistle for this Mass is judgment.  Not only the judgments that men make towards each other, but especially the Last Judgment at the end of time.  We are forbidden to judge rashly, but we are not forbidden from making any judgments at all.  We have all experienced the harm of rash judgment, but it should make us strive all the more towards keeping our conscience clear, as St. Paul instructs.  If we are followers of Jesus Christ, we have nothing to fear.  We must use the extra week of Advent that has been given to us by beginning to live with true Catholic hearts.

Be Not Anxious

December 11, 2022By

3rd Sunday Of Advent 2022
Gaudete Sunday
The color of the rose denotes a mixture of sadness and joy, while the flower itself represents Christ.  Those who abandon themselves completely enjoy the true peace and freedom from anxiety spoken of at this Mass.  Christ always hears the prayers of those who trust with all their heart.  Christmas is the beginning, not the end.  When Our Lord was born, the world immediately attempted to end His life.  We do not see the victory and joy yet, but we have a foretaste with the graces of Christmas.  It will be at the moment when all seems lost that Christ will triumph completely.  We remain free, our hearts cannot be dominated.

Be Lifted Up!

December 4, 2022By

2nd Sunday Of Advent 2022
In this season we know we are supposed to accomplish what took 4,000 years to accomplish as the world prepared for Christ’s coming.  We must ask God for help for He can give us all we need in an instant.  We come in contact with God when we come in contact with Jesus Christ in the liturgy.  This is the season for doing something, because simply avoiding sin is not enough.  Let us renew our consecration to the Sacred Heart and learn to love and serve Him better.

Let Us Get Started

November 27, 2022By

1st Sunday Of Advent 2022
We should begin the new year with the greatest help at our disposal – Holy Communion.  The benefits given to Catholics through the Holy Eucharist are innumerable.  The Holy Ghost has awakened us and is calling us to draw closer to God.  We must pray to be delivered from temptations and we must be far more vigilant in attending Sunday Mass.  If we are not holier now than we were at this time last year, we have a chance to start our conversion now and follow the example of the saints.

Undying Confidence

November 20, 2022By

Last Sunday After Pentecost 2022
Even at the end of the liturgical year we are still filled with great hope.  The virtue of hope, not based on natural motives, but based on our confidence in God, gives us the help we need to overcome the obstacles which stand in the way of our eternal goal.  If we desire to persevere in the practice of this virtue, we must practice mortification, and custody of the senses.  Only then are we able to respond to God’s grace, overcome our vices, and truly be numbered among the elect.

The Story Of Faith

November 13, 2022By

23rd Sunday After Pentecost 2022
Even though we are given great graces we still fall into sin, and many of these sins are committed out of weakness rather than malice.  We must never forget the great power of the sacramental of holy water, the use of which can take away our venial sins.  We have been given ample stories of the power of God and the aid He gives to the faithful.  Just as the enemies of Our Lord mocked Him, our enemies today do the same.  Throughout our life, it must be God alone who matters.

Render Your Life To God

November 6, 2022By

22nd Sunday After Pentecost 2022
In this Epistle we see how, through the perfection of charity, St. Paul suffers cheerfully and remembers his people even in pain. “How beautiful to see brethren dwelling in unity.” We are called to be one with our neighbor, forgiving his offenses just as we wish to be forgiven. St. Augustine tells us that we have the character of Christ on our souls just like the denarius of the Gospel. We belong to God entirely and must be on guard against the godless media and entertainment of our day, which seeks to corrupt our youth.

We Fear Our Mighty King

October 30, 2022By

Feast Of Christ The King 2022
We often forget that Christ, as the Son of God, owns us completely.  We belong to Him because He created us.  All power on earth comes from above, because it all comes from God.  Although, we often remember the meekness of Christ, we should also be filled with holy fear when contemplating His might.  We read in the Scriptural account how an entire cohort of men, armed with weapons, drew back, and fell to the ground at the words and look of the Savior and how St. John describes a formidable image of the conquering Christ in his apocalyptic vision.  We desire the social kingdom of Christ in which Our Lord is obeyed by all nations and all governments throughout the entire world.

We Must Obey To Be Saved

October 23, 2022By

20th Sunday After Pentecost 2022
The official in the Gospel for this Mass traveled a long distance to find Christ, but was rebuked for his lack of faith.  Yet, Christ rewarded the little faith he had, curing his child, and converting his whole household into some of the very first Christians.  St. Paul tells us that God’s Will is that we pray continuously and redeem the time we have wasted.  We must not be foolish with this precious gift of time.  What would the people in hell give for a little more time?  If we do not practice obedience and give up our will, we can be sure we lack the other virtues.  We must act for God and our neighbor, not for our own desires.

An Unfathomable Gift

October 16, 2022By

19th Sunday After Pentecost 2022
We should look to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque as a model for our growth in the spiritual life.  Many times she experienced the pull of the world drawing her away from her exalted calling.  It was only by responding to God’s grace that she ultimately fulfilled His true designs for her.  We are taught about Sanctifying Grace in both the Epistle and Gospel for today’s Mass.  We are instructed to “put on the new man” and told of the necessity of the “wedding garment” to share in the happiness of the King.  We should be willing to lose our life a hundred times rather than lose the unfathomable gift of grace.
