Start Living Heaven Now

Trinity Sunday 2021
God has endowed us with an intellect that enables us to see the world around us and reason to its Creator.  However, we could never know about the inner life of the Blessed Trinity except that He revealed this to us by His Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ.  Before the Annunciation we were given indications of this absolutely supernatural mystery but not the clear teaching as the Second Person gave us.  Our Lord commanded the preaching of this truth and baptizing in the name of the Trinity just before His Ascension.  St. Thomas Aquinas wrote that God has left us many signs of the Trinity in our very nature and everything around us.  Our prayers and the liturgy express the Holy Trinity often.  The eternal Trinitarian life is ours when in the state of grace and is realized perfectly in heaven.

Pentecost Law and Language

May 23, 2021By

Pentecost Sunday 2021
This feast is known as Red Easter because catechumens are baptized now who were unable to do so earlier.  The Blessed Mother and the Apostles were in Jerusalem awaiting the coming of the Holy Ghost because Our Lord commanded that.  The Jews from places near and far were there to celebrate the promulgation of the old law to Moses.  The Holy Ghost brought the new law of love.  The special vestments for this Mass teach the doctrines contained in the liturgy.  An immediate result from the coming of the Holy Ghost was the miracle of the preaching of the Apostles being understood by all.  This continues today for us by the use of the Latin language at Holy Mass.

Pillars Of The Apostolate

May 16, 2021By

Sunday After The Ascension 2021
This Mass joins the glory of the Ascension with the anticipation of the coming of the Holy Ghost on Pentecost.  The pillars of the apostolate which began on the birthday of the Church are prayer, humility and charity.  With Our Lady and the apostles we must learn to pray during this week’s novena.  We must always be aware of our dependence and thereby be truly humble.  Finally, we must imitate the early Christians who converted the pagans by their charity during the plague in the third century.

Ticket To Heaven

May 13, 2021By

The dogma of the Faith that teaches that Our Lord ascended into heaven today was revealed to the apostles by the two angels as described in St. Luke’s Acts of the Apostles.  On their return to Jerusalem they remained there as instructed to await the coming of the Holy Ghost.  They gathered around the Blessed Mother in prayer and we imitate this first novena with our own starting this Friday.  The Ascension is the third critical element to our spiritual life.  Our Lord’s Death, Resurrection and Ascension are all essential in the plan of redemption.  We must die with Christ so we can rise to life and go to heaven.  The Ascension strengthens our faith and hope because our head is in heaven and we as members of His Mystical Body will be there one day.

Faith Without Works Is Dead

May 9, 2021By

This Thursday is the Ascension and then we begin the novena to the Holy Ghost.  We also have several important saints this week.  St. James has been a prominent apostle during Paschal time through his epistle and today he teaches that our love of God and neighbor is shown by the practice of good works.  The Gospel is another instruction to the apostles in preparation for Our Lord’s departure and His sending of the Holy Ghost.  Today is also Mother’s Day and a time for us to honor our own mothers and especially our heavenly mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Queen of Angels And Men

May 7, 2021By

Conference On First Friday, May 2021 – Feast Of St. Stanislaus
St. Stanislaus is the patron saint of Poland and an example of a bishop who gives his life to protect his flock.  The month of May is dedicated to Our Lady’s queenship and ends with Her feast day.  Pope Pius XII instituted the feast with an encyclical that sounds prophetic in its words: “especially in troubled times the world has turned to the Blessed Virgin Mary as Queen”. This is for several reasons beginning with Her divine maternity which started at the Annunciation.  By Her “fiat” God became man and thereby showed that all graces would come from Him but through Her. The Blessed Mother is Queen by being the highest of any creature in charity and all the other virtues.  She also has the title by earning it with Our Lord at Calvary as His cooperator in redemption.  We must proclaim Her sovereignty and draw close to Her.

Jesus Loves You

May 2, 2021By

4th Sunday after Easter 2021 – First Holy Communion Sunday
This week we have the feasts of St. Monica, whose prayers and tears were necessary to convert her son, and St. Pius V, whose papal initiatives preserved our traditional Latin Mass and saved Christendom at the battle of Lepanto.  Congratulations to our first communicants who will receive at this Mass.  This is a great day for our Savior Who wanted this communion from all eternity. There is no greater love than Our Lord’s because He surrendered His life on the cross so to be able to come in communion today.  Christ asks you to give Him your hearts.  You have the model of a eucharistic saint in the boy who received holy communion from the angels while tending his flock far from church.

Good Example

April 25, 2021By

Third Sunday after Easter 2021
Today is also the feast of St. Mark the Evangelist and the day for the Greater Litanies, which are more ancient than St. Mark’s day.  St. Peter in the Epistle is asking the faithful to practice the Faith and thereby be models for non-Catholics and poor Catholics.  He reminds us of practicing the virtue of obedience before God and our neighbors.  Our good example and brief words, not preaching, convert others.  The story of a priest simply asking a girl “not to hurt God” is a wonderful case in point.

I, Myself, Will Shepherd My Flock

April 18, 2021By

Good Shepherd Sunday 2021
Our Lord’s Resurrection is the foundation of our faith and so we celebrate this during Paschal time and on every Sunday.  Christ spent these forty days preparing His apostles and stirring their hearts with ardor and love.  This Sunday shows Him as the Good Shepherd Who gives His life for His Sheep and will ever protect and care for them.  Others He has entrusted with this task in His absence but woe to those who betray that trust.  Jesus assures us that He will shepherd His flock Himself.

Gospel Of Faith

April 11, 2021By

Low Sunday 2021
The Easter Octave is completed today and our recently baptized neophytes put aside their baptismal garments and now begin the life as one of the faithful.  This is particularly done by following Our Lord in the Liturgy in our prayers. The Paschal candle is Christ with us now and lights the way in appreciating His Resurrection.  The Faith is all important and essential.  Today’s Gospel teaches us how we must approach this gift with humility knowing we cannot achieve this by our own power.  This theological virtue which has God as source and goal will lead us to heaven one day.
