Season of the Holy Ghost

June 23, 2019By

2nd Sunday after Pentecost 2019
The time after Pentecost is designed by God to sanctify us by putting the teachings of the first half of the year into practice.  This season begins by celebrating feast days which mark the key helps along our path to holiness, namely, the Blessed Trinity, the Holy Eucharist and the Sacred Heart.  As Catholics we believe completely in Our Lord’s real, true and substantial presence in the Holy Eucharist.  We treasure this gift and never let anything else deflect us from attachment, devotion and love of the Blessed Sacrament.

Sacramental Contract

June 22, 2019By

Leoffler-Hermes Wedding
Matrimony is the sacrament which raises the natural bond of marriage to a supernatural level and sanctifies the married couple throughout life and leads them to heaven.  In addition, the blessed rings are sacramentals which are bestowed during the ceremony so the couple can avail themselves of the actual graces needed for their life together.  A spiritual life based on prayer will enable the groom to have the self-sacrificing love of Christ crucified while the bride will become a faithful spouse as the Church is.

Sacrament Of The Mystery

June 20, 2019By

Corpus Christi 2019
The origin of this feast is based on apparitions of Our Lord to St. Juliana of Belgium wherein He requested it to honor this Most Blessed Sacrament and make reparation for irreverences towards It.  St. Thomas Aquinas composed the beautiful texts for the Mass.  The feast predated and provided the bulwark against the heresies that were to come in later centuries. We are to become saints through devotion to the Holy Eucharist.

Long To See The Trinity

June 16, 2019By

Trinity Sunday 2019
The Sign of the Cross is the signature action of Catholics which expresses our faith in the Blessed Trinity.  This feast enhances the importance of this supernatural mystery which is remembered at every Sunday Mass.  God has revealed this secret of His life which teaches us that in God there are Three Divine Persons: Father, Son and Holy Ghost.  References to this doctrine can be found in the Old Testament and more explicitly in the New.  Created grace is our share in God’s Trinitarian life which we long to enjoy in heaven one day.

Wind and Fire

Pentecost Sunday 2019

The Holy Ghost descended on the Apostles to complete their preparation for the mission entrusted to them to go forth and convert the world.  Even after the Resurrection they had faults which needed to be eliminated so the Paraclete could infuse them with the holiness and gifts necessary for their apostolate.  St. Peter showed how effective this was when he converted 3,000 people that day.  We must follow in their footsteps and renounce self to find union with God.

Ascensiontide

June 2, 2019By

Sunday After The Ascension 2019
These are sacred days between the Ascension and Pentecost. We should duplicate the ascetical life of the Apostles who were being led at this time by the Master Spiritual Director, Our Lord, through the purgative, illuminative and unitive states. Once confirmed in grace by the Holy Ghost they were ready for their mission to convert the world. We can do the same if we respond to the invitation of God.

Let Us Wait And Prepare

May 30, 2019By

Ascension Thursday Evening 2019
As the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Apostles began the first novena so we too should raise our hearts up to heaven and ask for a special share in the grace and love of the Holy Ghost. On this day they visited with Our Lord before He ascended and received His final instructions about the coming of the Paraclete. They received an increase of Faith, Hope and especially Charity. This holiness is offered to us during these sacred days as well.

Completion Of Easter

May 30, 2019By

Ascension Thursday 2019
Today is a Holyday of Obligation because of the importance of Our Lord’s return to heaven forty days after His Resurrection.  The Son of God descended, became a Man, suffered, died, rose again and ascended to His Father.  Today completes this Paschal mystery.  Prayer is essential, especially during these days leading up to Pentecost.  Our Lord told the disciples to remain in Jerusalem until He sent the Advocate.  They gathered with the Blessed Mother and prayed for His Coming.  God will reward our prayers too.

Pray The Catholic Way

May 26, 2019By

5th Sunday After Easter 2019
As we approach the end of Easter season and the extinguishing of the Paschal candle we should remember the importance of lighting votive candles.  We should heed the practical advice of St. James in his epistle today when he tells us to put our faith into action.  We must not become like worldlings who treat God with indifference and we should pray always and today, Memorial day, for those defenders of our country.

Christ’s Love Is Causative

May 19, 2019By

Conference On The 4th Sunday After Easter 2019
In this talk after Mass we learn about the qualities of glorified bodies.  Our Lord exhibited these after rising from the dead and they are: subtlety, agility, clarity, impassibility and immortality.  We will also possess them one day in heaven with Christ if we imitate His life and death.  When Jesus shows us His Cross in the end and says that this is how much He loved us then we will answer that we loved Him enough to carry our own crosses as well with His help.
