Ask In His Name

January 4, 2015By

Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus 2015
All Catholics bow their heads in reverence when they hear the name of Jesus because it is the name of God.  It is only in the name of Jesus that we will be saved.  When St. Peter says that “God the Father raised His Son from the dead,” he is simply expressing the Trinitarian doctrine.  We must pray that we are given the virtue of supernatural prudence.  We must pray the Rosary daily – that prayer which is responsible for so many miracles.  In the Old Testament the Hebrews could not even utter God’s name, so we must never take the name of God in vain.  His very name is a prayer.

The Depths of Christ’s Humility

January 1, 2015By

Octave of Christmas 2015
Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man.  If we want to know how much God loves us, all we need do is think of the Incarnation.  In all humility the Son of God bridged the infinite gap between God and man.  The closer we come to God the more we realize we are the lowest of all beings.  Pride tells a lie, which is why God answers the prayers of the humble.  This day celebrates the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin and the Circumcision of Our Lord.  As we enter a new year, we confide our past faults to God’s mercy and live in the present.  We must be recollected and prayerful, and we must see reality as it is – even if it is unpleasant.  This is the way to peace and happiness.

He Rules Our Souls

December 28, 2014By

Sunday within the Octave of Christmas 2014
Because the feast of the Nativity is so important, the Church celebrates throughout its octave, each day of which emphasizes different aspects of the Nativity.  We are given a great example of the staunch defense of the Faith on the feast of St. Stephen.  We are shown Our Lord as an infant, how He is seemingly helpless and most deserving of our love.  It is a privilege and honor to assist at the true Mass.  When we receive the Sanctifying Grace the Trinity is active in our souls.  The Holy Spirit establishes His home within us, and we are called to be His faithful children.

The Everlasting Effect of Christmas

December 25, 2014By

Sermon on The Feast of
Christmas 2014
On this day the Son of God, after taking to Himself a human nature, entered the world.  The Virginal Birth is the cornerstone of this feast.  The Blessed Mother was virgin before, during, and after the birth of Christ, and remained so perpetually.  We are Christians not because we admire Jesus Christ, but because we recognize Him as our God.  God entered the world and changed the destiny of the whole human race.  Despite all the world seems to offer, it ultimately only gives sadness and fear.  However, Christmas is the one day that brings a lasting joy to man, because it offers us true hope.  We pray that the joy of the manger remains forever in our hearts.

Fitting Mother for a Fitting Son

December 8, 2014By

Sermon From The Feast Of The
Immaculate Conception 2014
The words from the Sapiential books of the Bible are applied to the Blessed Virgin in the Epistle today.  Even before she was created, the Holy Virgin was in the mind of God and was given all the gifts for her calling.  The greatest of these gifts was the Immaculate Conception.  We too are given all the gifts we need to follow our vocation to sanctity.  About the Blessed Mother, there can ever be enough said.  Our redemption was liberative, but hers was preservative.  She possessed the indwelling of the Holy Trinity from the moment of her creation.  Sanctifying grace makes the inheritance of Heaven our right.  This day we celebrate the triumph over sin.

The Guardian of Vocations

March 19, 2013By

Sermon On The
Feast of St. Joseph 2013
St. Joseph is called true spouse of the Blessed Mother and foster father of the Son of God.  Whatever their vocation in life may be, the reason many do not follow their calling is because they lack confidence.  It is true that we should not trust in ourselves, however we must never forget that we can do all things in Him Who gives us strength.  It is the combination of humility and magnanimity that makes a truly great man.  God gives to each vocation what that person needs to accomplish his or her destiny, and we see this especially in the singular gifts given to St. Joseph.

The Queen of Angels loves him for all eternity in a way different than she loves the rest of mankind.  She loves him as a wife.  The marriage was true and real, although unconsummated and virginal, and without this marriage there would be no Incarnation.

We are in a war with the enemies of Christ who have seized control of the Church.  Even the so-called traditionalists are self-righteous and lacking in charity.  However, we are given a leader who has not abandoned us in these desperate times – the Holy Protector of the Church, St. Joseph.

What the Season Teaches

December 30, 2012By

Sunday within the Octave of Christmas 2012
St. Paul tells us that although we were under the dominion of the world, we are the adopted sons of God and heirs of His kingdom.  It was prophesied that those who accepted the Messias will rise, while those who reject him will fall.  We have three major feasts after Christmas: St. Stephen, St. John, and the Holy Innocents.  We are taught by St. Stephen that it will not be easy to follow Christ.  St. John teaches us that we will be called to stand against heresy as he did in the first century.  And the Holy Innocents remind us of the secular persecution which desires to put Christ to death once again.  We must resist the attacks on the family which are widespread.  We must be thankful because we have been blessed.  We are the shepherds who have been chosen to approach the manger.

The World Will Never Be The Same

December 25, 2012By

Christmas 2012 – Midnight Mass
Despite the propaganda of the enemies of Christ, the whole world stops at the event celebrated today.  Today God the Son, Who had taken a human body, was born to us.  Here we not only remember the Nativity, but we relive the very moment once again.  God renews every aspect of His birth through the Masses of this day.  The birth of the Son from the Father from all eternity, the birth of Our Lord in time, and His birth in each one of our souls are all celebrated through the liturgy.  The birth of Christ from the Virgin Mary was sacred, miraculous and painless.  What was begun on this day will be consummated at the end of time with the second coming of Christ in glory.  Christmas is the beginning of our hope and the promise of our vindication.

The Honor of Our People

August 15, 2012By

Sermon From
The Feast Of The Assumption 2012
At the moment of the Blessed Mother’s visitation, when St. John the Baptist leapt in the womb of Elizabeth, Our Lord was only three days old in the womb of the Virgin Mary. This is a biblical condemnation of the modern belief that the life of the child only begins after birth – an argument used to excuse the murder of the unborn.

The Blessed Mother did not carry herself to Heaven by her own power, she was assumed, body and soul, by the power of Almighty God. She was raised to the highest position in Heaven, second to the Holy Trinity, because of the degree of divine life she possessed. Sanctifying grace makes us lovable in the eyes of God, and it is the greatest of God’s gifts. The first fruit of Sanctifying Grace is sublime and supernatural divine love. We are not meant for this life. There is a place destined for us where there is no more sorrow or fear, and the Assumption of the Blessed Mother is the promise that one day we might enjoy it.

Dispel the Darkness of Our Minds

February 2, 2012By

Feast of the Purification 2012
This is one of the most ancient feasts in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  God gave Moses the Law which instructed His chosen people to present their children to Him shortly after their birth.  Although Our Lord and His Holy Mother were not subject to this law, He submitted Himself freely to it as an example for us.  After Our Lord was presented to God, He was ritually ransomed back by His parents through the sacrifice they offered in the Temple.  The beautiful sacramental of the candle, which is distributed today, is a means of ridding our souls of sin through God’s grace.  As we pray that its light will dispel the darkness of our minds, we must continue to ask for the desire for Heaven and union with Our Lord.
