3rd Sunday In Lent 2023 We must never presume that our way is better than God’s. During this season we should read the texts for each Mass, even if we are unable to attend them. Through them we are taught the importance of Baptism and the mercy of God, and we are instructed as the catechumens, with whom we must identify. We learned to fight temptations at the beginning of Lent, and now we see the power of Christ demonstrated as He casts out devils in this Gospel account. We must cast out our own demons. We must uproot the remains of sin in our soul. #20220312M
19th Sunday After Pentecost 2022 We should look to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque as a model for our growth in the spiritual life. Many times she experienced the pull of the world drawing her away from her exalted calling. It was only by responding to God’s grace that she ultimately fulfilled His true designs for her. We are taught about Sanctifying Grace in both the Epistle and Gospel for today’s Mass. We are instructed to “put on the new man” and told of the necessity of the “wedding garment” to share in the happiness of the King. We should be willing to lose our life a hundred times rather than lose the unfathomable gift of grace. #20221016B
6th Sunday After Pentecost 2022 This Sunday brings our minds back to the two great sacraments of Holy Week: Baptism and the Holy Eucharist. Through the former we are given life in the Mystical Body and by the latter that life is nourished and grows. Those who fall short in attempting to “walk in newness of life” have the example of the reparation of King David along with the conversions of so many saints. Just like those saints, we must use our falls to our advantage, being urged on with greater zeal to fight harder than ever. In doing so, our frailty becomes our strength, and our falls only propel us forward to our goal. #20220717B
Easter Vigil 2022 The Easter Vigil is the culmination of our Lenten retreat and especially for the catechumens who are baptized and who will receive their first Holy Communions at the Mass which follows. The Liturgy brings light to the darkness of the world of sin and sings the praise of Our Lord’s Paschal candle. Then we are reminded of the miracles around water in preparation for the blessing of the Easter and baptismal waters which lead to the baptism of our catechumens. The Mass of Christ’s triumphant Resurrection will end with our Easter communion and our union with the Risen Savior. The newest members of the Church now begin their lives as part of the faithful. #20220416M
Sermon From The Octave of Nativity 2022 This holyday of obligation renews all the joy and happiness of Christmas, recalls the Circumcision which took place on this day and honors the Blessed Mother. St. Luke in his account of the Annunciation is precise in his language as he records Our Lady’s words that she does not know man, meaning her husband. This along with Tradition informs us that the Mother of God and St. Joseph were virginal and would remain so. Knowing this we understand the miraculous nature of the birth of Christ which confirms that His Mother is a virgin before, during and afterwards. Circumcision was a type of our sacrament of Baptism. Today begins the new year with confidence in God that He does not abandon His own during whatever awaits us in the days ahead. #20220101M
4th Sunday of Advent Advent 2021 The guides for Advent are prominent in this last Sunday of the season leading up to Christmas. The Mass texts come from Isaias the Prophet, St. John the Baptist fulfills the prophecies in the Gospel and the Blessed Mother is honored in the Offertory and Communion. The Mass itself is connected to the December ordinations and St. Paul writes about the worthy stewards of the mysteries of the Faith. St. John calls the people to penance in preparation for Christ’s coming. #20211219M
1st Friday Conference, October 2021 This conference begins with a sobering account of the current problems with the validity of the sacraments because of the devil’s hatred of priests and the means of salvation. The story of today’s Saint Remy is encouraging in the face of this new paganism because this holy bishop baptized Clovis which began the life of the eldest daughter of the Church – France. This month is dedicated to the Holy Rosary and quotations about it from the saints encourage us to pray it devoutly. Finally, we recall our holy pope, St. Pius X, who enriched the Church and souls during his papacy. His love for God and neighbor was evident in his efforts to preserve the Faith pure and undefiled, to honor Our Lady as Co-Redemptrix, to emphasize the Liturgy, increase devotion to the Holy Eucharist, increase study of the Bible, restore Gregorian chant, revise the Code of Canon Law, reform the Breviary and much more. His sanctity was attested by conversions and miracles during his lifetime and during this canonization process. He is our strong protector and supporter today against the evil of modernism. #20211001
4th Sunday after Easter 2021 – First Holy Communion Sunday This week we have the feasts of St. Monica, whose prayers and tears were necessary to convert her son, and St. Pius V, whose papal initiatives preserved our traditional Latin Mass and saved Christendom at the battle of Lepanto. Congratulations to our first communicants who will receive at this Mass. This is a great day for our Savior Who wanted this communion from all eternity. There is no greater love than Our Lord’s because He surrendered His life on the cross so to be able to come in communion today. Christ asks you to give Him your hearts. You have the model of a eucharistic saint in the boy who received holy communion from the angels while tending his flock far from church. #20210502
Easter Vigil 2021 During this Vigil in anticipation of Our Lord’s Resurrection at midnight we begin outside in the darkness by lighting the Paschal Fire. Then we carry the Light of the World in through His Candle which is praised in the exquisite praeconium called the Exsultet. Prophetic readings and the Litany of the Saints ready us for the making of the baptismal water and finally the solemn Baptism of our catechumens. Mass begins and we join with the neophytes as they receive their first Holy Communions. Happy Easter. #20210403K
3rd Sunday in Lent 2021 Today is also the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas who is a model of many things including fidelity to a vocation. The Liturgy of Lent continues to prepare the catechumens and penitents for the Sacred Triduum. The daily Masses for this week are geared by the Church for this purpose. Today’s Gospel returns our attention to the enemy of our spiritual life, namely, the devil. We can draw all the defense we need against this foe from the Mass and Sacraments, especially the exorcising power of priests. We are reminded at the end of this account from St. Luke of Our Lady’s role in combating the evil one. The Blessed Mother has empowered us with the Holy Rosary which carries the mysteries of our Faith in our hands whenever we are unable to be at the altar. #20210307M
