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.

Enkindle The Fire For Heaven

July 23, 2019By

Lynn Burdi Funeral Mass
We miss and will always pray for the deceased who had a love for the traditional Latin Mass and for the Blessed Virgin Mary.  Her rose garden in front of the chapel is the constant reminder of that.  We here who mourn our loss must pray and sacrifice for her to be released from Purgatory if she is there being purified in preparation for her entrance into heaven. The merciful fire that accomplishes this is ignited by our love through the Holy Mass so we must pray fervently for her now and in the future.

Our Lord’s Retreat

July 21, 2019By

6th Sunday after Pentecost 2019

The Gospel has us join the Supreme Retreat Master as He conducts a three day retreat with over 4,000 people.  The intensity of the conferences was such that fasting and praying were done effortlessly under Our Lord’s gentle direction.  He then fed them miraculously at its conclusion so they were strengthened for their return to their daily lives.  What a beautiful goal for each of us to strive after by scheduling time for our own retreats with the Master.  Today is also the first Holy Communion for our convert and such a wonderful day to receive Jesus Christ for the first time.

Love Of God And Neighbor

July 14, 2019By

5th Sunday after Pentecost 2019
The Church begins our sanctification now with the reminder that our love of God is shown by our love of our neighbor.  This is so important that Our Lord instructs us to delay even prayer and public worship so we can first reconcile with our brother when necessary.  How we do this requires prayer, reception of the sacraments and a generous response to the inspirations of the Holy Ghost.  By this we turn our hearts and affections from this world to the invisible treasures of heaven.

We Wait As True Sons Of God

July 7, 2019By

4th Sunday after Pentecost 2019
The reception of the Holy Eucharist is most important for our spiritual life and we are given life through It and through the flowing of His Precious Blood.  We have been made sons of God and always remain ready to respond to whatever God asks of us.  In today’s Gospel we see how the apostles, especially St. Peter, answered Our Lord’s directive promptly and their obedience was rewarded.  This is an example for us on how we are to follow our own vocations.

Feast Of The Precious Blood 2019
Devotion to the Precious Blood of Our Lord is based on the doctrine of the Incarnation whereby we know that all components of His Sacred Humanity belong to the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity and are thereby worthy of divine adoration and love.  God prepared us for His shedding of this price of our redemption by many examples in the Old Testament, beginning with Abel and being seen more dramatically in the blood of the Passover lambs.  The origins of the modern feast celebrating this come from the days of Pope Pius IX.  He instituted the feast in thanksgiving for the saving of Rome from its enemies in 1849.  The qualities of His Blood are seen in Its Litany.  Our spiritual life will be strengthened by our daily practice of devotion to the Precious Blood.
