Prepare for Christ’s Coming

December 22, 2013By

Sermon From
4th Sunday of Advent 2013
Father Violette✟
We have weeks to prepare us for the major feasts of the Church to wake us up and ensure we are ready.  From all eternity God has a special grace for each one of us – the grace of Christmas.  We have ample time to prepare so that we may be drawn directly to heaven when God calls us.  Although St. John the Baptist’s life was short, he accomplished all that God wanted in the time allotted to him.  We pray that God may do the same with our lives at this Mass.

The “O” Antiphons

December 15, 2013By

Sermon From
Gaudete Sunday 2013
The “O” Antiphons, which are chanted leading up to Christmas, look with anticipation towards the second coming of Christ.  “O Wisdom” refers to the Son of God under the title of the greatest intellectual ability and the gift of the Holy Ghost.  “O Adonai” calls on Christ’s help just as God guided the Hebrews out of Egypt.  “O Root of Jesse” refers to Christ’s lineage, and “O Key of David” refers to Our Lord’s role as King, Priest, and Prophet.  “O Oriens” shows Christ in the image of the dawning Sun bringing light to the world.  Finally, “O King of the Gentiles” and “O Emmanuel” remind us that our Savior will dwell among us and unite all people under his kingly rule.

I Am the Immaculate Conception

December 8, 2013By

Sermon On The
Feast Of The Immaculate Conception 2013
It is important to know some of the prerogatives of this great privilege that was bestowed on the Blessed Mother in anticipation of the Incarnation.  From the first moment of her existence, the charity of the Virgin Mary, in her plenitude of grace, surpasses all human persons.  It is the great triumph over sin and the devil, fulfilling the words of God, “I will place enmity between you and the woman.”  This day is truly a day of conquest, because this singular gift granted to the Mother of God is one of love’s greatest victories.

St. Nicholas

December 6, 2013By

Conference On
1st Friday, December 2013
St. Nicholas is the great saint of Christmas, and he is loved by all.  Similar to St. Martin’s Day, the celebration of St. Nicholas was so popular that it was even adopted by Protestants as Santa Claus.  This early-Church bishop was considered a martyr because of what he suffered for the Faith, although he was never killed. Through the text of his Mass we can learn a great deal about his story and its importance.

Teach Us Your Ways

December 1, 2013By

Sermon From
1st Sunday In Advent 2013
This is the beginning of a new liturgical year, and we are brought to the Blessed Mother to help us in this new year.  The stational Church for today is the Basilica of St. Mary Major in Rome.  Our resolution for this new year should be to make up for the offenses against the Immaculate Heart.  The way we pray is the way we believe, and it is through the liturgy that Christ teaches us His ways.  Christ is the bridge-builder that gives us a path to Heaven and tells us how to follow it.
