Meditation On The Resurrection

March 26, 2016By

Easter Vigil 2016

What does it mean for us to say: Christ rose from the dead?  It means that He finally and once and for all overcame Death and gave us a hope for our own resurrection if we stay true to His words.  This awesome act of the Son of God, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, is the most profound and stupendous act in all of human history and the symbols of the Fire, Paschal Candle, Holy Water that He left us are meant to give us a glimpse of the compassion Jesus has for us as we travel the road set for us when He said to His disciples: “I will not leave you orphans.”  It is important also that we remember the large number of people who give testimony to this Event – that it was not just a story or fable of some kind but that it really happened.

Take Up Your Cross Daily

March 25, 2016By

Good Friday 2016

This sermon is about why we call Good Friday, Good?   When we see how Our Lord was treated – how he was scourged, beaten, crowned with thorns, and cursed we find ourselves asking: “how can this be Good”?  It is for us a bittersweet moment because we know that unless Our Lord fulfilled the wish of His Father, we could not be saved.  The tremendous value of Our Lord’s Passion and Death, Death on the Cross, is a reminder to us that He can bring Good out of the most heinous Evil.  It is also a way for us to recall that suffering can be beneficial to us if we offer it up to God for our sins.

My Little White Guest

Holy Thursday 2016

This sermon is all about Agape which is that selfless, sacrificial, unconditional Love, which Jesus has first for His Father and then for us.  It is the Love that He demonstrated on Holy Thursday when He told his disciples, “I will not leave you orphans” and gave them and us through them, the Eucharist and Holy Priesthood to be with us until He comes again in Glory.  It is also the Love which inspired Him to wash the feet of His disciples and to give them the command, “If, then, I, being your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.”  This is called the Mandatum and it is our charge as well – that selfless Love we must share with one another.  It is, in the final analysis, why He took upon Himself all of our sins, suffered, and died on the cross to win for us eternal salvation with His Father in Heaven.  The only question for us is: How will we return that Love?

Qualities Of St. Joseph

March 19, 2016By

Feast Of St. Joseph 2016

In this sermon, we learn of St. Joseph in his title as Spouse of the Blessed Virgin and what that means in the context of marriage. St. Joseph followed his vocation and each of us must do the same, first by doing our duty and then by responding to God’s invitations. He is like God the Father and on frontiers of hypostatic union. Humility is the foundation of St. Joseph’s qualities that his other virtues, like meekness, purity, charity and loyalty are built upon. He is the patron of a holy death.

It is important to fight the effects of original sin and actual sins by practicing intense penance now.  Say the act of contrition often and never give up.  Get back up after each fall as Our Lord did when He was carrying His Cross.
