Seven Sorrows

September 15, 2019By

14th Sunday after Pentecost 2019
We celebrate wonderful saints at this time of the liturgical year.  This week we have the following: St. Francis and his stigmata, St. Joseph Cupertino, St. Januarius and St. Matthew.  The Epistle for this Mass is a lesson on the spiritual life.  Our Lord stresses the importance of seeking this life in union with Him above all other considerations.  Today we also commemorate the Seven Sorrows of our Blessed Mother and her close participation in the sufferings and death of her Divine Son.

Belief In God Is Not Enough

September 8, 2019By

13th Sunday after Pentecost 2019
This Sunday has a commemoration of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and later this week is the feast in honor of her name.  The collect prays for an increase of the theological virtues in us while in the epistle St. Paul instructs us on the reception of great gifts from God.  The Gospel shows the power of faith and the obligation to be grateful to God for His gifts to us.  Finally, we must act on our faith because without charity we will end up in hell, despite our belief in God.

Eyes That See What We See

September 1, 2019By

12th Sunday after Pentecost 2019
This beautiful Mass of the Good Samaritan encourages us because, even if we are almost dead in sin, Christ will heal us through His sacraments of oil and wine.  The angels admire us for receiving Our Lord in Holy Communion.  Besides the sacraments we need to pray.  Without prayer, especially mental prayer, and spiritual reading we are prey to impurity.  Many saints are our examples of holiness and the striving to obtain it, especially by always keeping our death in front of our eyes.

That They May Be One

August 25, 2019By

11th Sunday after Pentecost 2019
Q&A Conference
The Introit for this Mass states that God is in His holy place and the people dwell there in union of mind.  This unity in Faith is a gift we enjoy and is a fulfillment of Christ’s prayer at the Last Supper when He compared this oneness to that which the Father and Son have.  Our Sacred Heart shrine contains the relic of an early Christian.  This man believed the same Faith and lived according to the same moral life that we profess and follow today.  This relic is our tangible link to the Faith of the Apostles.  The Gospel today reminds us of the ceremonies of Baptism which free us from the evil influences of the devil.

Pray Like The Publican

August 18, 2019By

10th Sunday after Pentecost 2019
The Church wants us to recall the special gifts given to it in the early days to help the spread of the Faith.  The Holy Ghost continues to give us graces today.  In the Gospel we are reminded about praying with humility as the publican did.  We should avoid the proud attitude of the pharisee.  The feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary should help us foster devotion to our Heavenly Mother under this title which is so closely tied to the Sacred Heart of her divine Son.

She Reaches Out to Us

August 15, 2019By

Feast Of The Assumption 2019
This is Our Lady’s greatest feast which marks the triumphant conclusion of her life when God took her body and soul into heaven where she reigns today.  This is an ancient feast which requires us to thank God for the Assumption.  We read this in the definition of the dogma by Pope Pius XII on All Saints day 1950.  Our Lady’s thirty days begin today and are special for an increase of piety among the faithful.  Our heavenly Mother stretches her maternal arms out to us to save us from perdition.  We should pray the Memorare or Hail Holy Queen to be brought back.

Noli Timere

August 11, 2019By

9th Sunday after Pentecost
We must never be afraid because Our Lord said “I am with you all days.”  He told us to pray without ceasing because prayer is so powerful and tied to His mercy.  The Epistle and Gospel warn us not to show ingratitude and indifferentism in the face of God’s goodness.  The Gospel in particular stresses the importance of not neglecting the smallest moment of grace lest we not recognize it and mourn the time of our visitation.

Transfiguration Conference

August 6, 2019By

Feast Of The Transfiguration 2019
In this conference we learn that transfiguration is not uncommon in the lives of the saints.  The Collect for the Mass today is key to unlocking this feast day.  It says that the mystery or sacrament of the Faith is confirmed through this theophany.  The outward sign instituted by Christ to give grace is Our Lord Himself and the Father commands us to listen to Him.  Moses and Elias confirm this while speaking to Jesus about His upcoming Death.  This event marked Christ’s directing of His Life now to the Cross.  He relaxed in prayer and allowed His divinity to manifest through His humanity.  This strengthened Him and His apostles for what lay ahead.  The Transfiguration is our bulwark against all our trials today.

Concentrate On Heaven

August 4, 2019By

8th Sunday after Pentecost 2019
Have a special devotion to Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart during this month.  The liturgy reminds us of all the graces we receive in God’s house and how we should appreciate it.  One benefit is becoming a child of God and knowing Him as our Father not just as our Creator.  Our Lord warns us in the Gospel to use the material things of the world for those less fortunate then ourselves and He says to imitate the zeal of the pagans not for earthly gains but for heaven itself.

Take Your Cross And Follow

July 28, 2019By

7th Sunday after Pentecost 2019
The Church reminds us today to avoid sin.  If not we will be subject to punishment.  Our Lord uses a parable that everyone can understand.  He equates false religious leaders to the tree that brings forth bad fruit and that we can judge by those fruits.  God is always looking after us by His Divine Providence and nothing is left to chance.  He sees every detail of our lives and allows all for our ultimate goal of happiness with Him in heaven.
