Fourth Sunday after Easter 2018
In the Epistle for this Sunday St. James describes God as the immutable Father of Lights who wills the salvation of all men. Any who are lost are victims of their own malice in refusing the graces offered by God. Our response must be one of love which will guide us along the way to holiness and love of God and neighbor.

Third Sunday After Easter 2018
The Collect of the Mass for the Third Sunday after Easter instructs us to think of ourselves as passing through this life on the way to eternity. The Gospel recounts the words of Our Lord at the Last Supper about the little while before the apostles will see Him again. In comparison to eternity our lives are only a little while. We must pray and be encouraged that our faithfulness for just a little while will gain us the happiness of heaven.

Good Shepherd Sunday 2018
The Church continues to celebrate the Resurrection in the Mass texts for this second Sunday after Easter known as Good Shepherd Sunday. The Epistle and Gospel highlight the beautiful aspect of Christ as the Shepherd and Bishop of our souls. Psalm 22 expresses so well His care and love. The prophet Ezechiel prophesied that Our Lord, Himself, will shepherd His sheep. These are consoling thoughts for all who follow our true Shepherd.

Feast Of The Annunciation 2018
This year the Annunciation is celebrated after Easter. Our feast recalls the moment when the ever Virgin Mary became the Mother of God. All the details of this Gospel account took place in her home which is known as the holiest place on earth. In penetrating this mystery from inside the Blessed Mother, we see how great was her virginal/maternal heart which was so generous, courageous, faithful, trusting and loving. We, especially the young, should reach into her heart and use these qualities on our road to heaven.

Easter Sunday 2018
The Resurrection is the miraculous proof of everything Our Lord said and did. Easter then is the greatest solemnity in the liturgical year. We must purge out the old leaven of sin and celebrate with the new leaven of holiness and truth. Our patrons for this are the Blessed Mother whom the Risen Christ visited first and that penitent who loved much, St. Mary Magdalen. Together they will help us to make sure our Lenten training bears fruit this Paschal season and on the road to heaven.

Holy Thursday 2018
The bells of thanksgiving and joy are rung during the Gloria of this Mass which celebrates the birthday of the priesthood, the Mass, the Holy Eucharist and the Sacred Liturgy. These gifts of love from the Sacred Heart of Jesus must be appreciated as the heavenly treasure and the pearl of great price. We renew our oath of allegiance to promote, to defend and never to compromise what Our Lord gave us this night before He died.

Palm Sunday 2018
Palm Sunday is an encapsulation of all of Holy Week as the triumph of the Resurrection is seen with the entry of Our Lord into the Holy City and the sacrifice of the Cross in the Passion. We must not waste this week nor be distracted. We can win souls to Christ by imitating the virtues Jesus showed on this day: humility, meekness and obedience.

Conference On Passion Sunday 2018
In this conference we learn about the upcoming feast of St. Joseph. His greatest titles are Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Foster Father of the Son of God. God the Father entrusted His Divine Son to the care of St. Joseph whose virginal paternity was a perfect image of the Begetting of the Son by the Father. The true marriage of St. Joseph to Our Lady is the foundation of his relationship through her with Jesus Christ. He is protector of the Church and universal patron of all our needs.

Laetare Sunday 2018
At the midpoint of Lent we recall the greatest gift God has given after the Redemptive Incarnation – the Holy Eucharist. The Gospel tells how Our Lord prepared the people for this Sacrament by the miracle of the loaves and fishes. By reception of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ we are given the foretaste of heaven and so every Holy Communion is a preparation for our entrance there.

3rd Sunday in Lent 2018
We learn in the Mass texts not to let evil enter our thoughts, words or deeds. This is so we live every moment purely and for God. Then we are prepared for the last moment when we receive the grace of perseverance efficaciously. As the good works of Jesus were criticized in the Gospel, so we must also overcome discouragement during our Lenten practices. We must remember the saints who were like us sinners but who trusted in God and were victorious.
