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.

Follow Truth in Adversity

Sermon On The
Last Sunday after Pentecost 2025
Today concludes the time after Pentecost and the liturgy warns us about the frightful circumstances which will accompany the end of time and the signs which prefigure it. Every man who ever lived, whether they were in Heaven or Hell will face the General Judgment. The just will receive their glorified bodies and be carried to Heaven, while God’s enemies will receive hideous bodies which reflect their evil. We must abandon ourselves to God’s Will and seek to please Him in all we do.

In the face of the virulent attacks against the True Faith, we must remain strong and stand against the enemies of Christ as St. Athanasius did, who resisted the heretics of his day.

Prayer Is The Answer

Dedication of the Basilica of Our Savior 2025

Pope St. Martin I is the pope for our times.  He chose to endure the greatest indignities and even martyrdom rather than compromise with the enemies of the Church.

Catholic parents will pay a heavy price if they do not train their children to pray for the Holy Souls in Purgatory.  Prayer is the remedy that we have all been prescribed.  “It is a good and wholesome thought to pray for the dead,” this is the instruction we receive right from God’s mouth.  Despite the title of “Co-redemptrix” being attacked, holy popes like St. Pius X promoted this appellation of the Blessed Mother without hesitation.  The Basilica of Our Savior was the very first church to be consecrated 1,701 years ago.  This church is considered the Mother Church of the world.  Every stone which makes up the church represents each practicing Catholic.  All the persecution which led to this day of triumph was worth it.

Requiem Æternam

All Souls Day Evening 2025
Although this is not a Holy Day of Obligation, faithful Catholics flock to the churches today so they may help the holy souls in Purgatory, who cannot help themselves.  Purgatory is a creation of love.  One must be perfect to enter Heaven, so God in His mercy gives souls a way to burn out the roots of their vices so they may freely receive their eternal reward.  This may be our very last All Souls’ Day Mass before we die.  The words “Requiem æternam done eis Domine” were found on the tombs of Christians of the third century.  The Church has adopted those words for this Mass.  We must take up the standard of the Catholics of years past and fervently pray for the dead.

Our Purgatory Now

All Souls Day 2025
The Commemoration of the Faithful Departed is not only for the benefit of the Church Suffering, but also for the benefit of all living Catholics.  Throughout the liturgy of this Mass, we are reminded of our own future judgment and how we too may be in need of the prayers of the living.  We must always remember that God is both infinitely merciful and infinitely just, and that He will demand an account, not only of our sins, but even of our time wasted.  Today is our reminder that we too must die one day, and that we must use the time God has allotted to us for the removal of sin, and the punishment due to it, from our souls.
