18th Sunday After Pentecost 2022 “Pray the Rosary for peace…” This was the instruction of the Blessed Mother at Fatima. We were given this great sacramental for our protection, so that we might pray with the Holy Mother of God and through her, and she might supply what is lacking in our prayers. In reciting the Rosary, the whole man is occupied – his body, his imagination, his intellect. We need not focus on the individual details of each mystery, but rather let the mysteries envelop us, removing all earthly ambitions and fears, and granting us a taste of the love of God. #20221009
The Exultation Of The Holy Cross 2022 We honor the Holy Cross with a spirit of joy in this liturgy. It is important for us to know the history of this feast. The first victory under the banner of the cross was that of Emperor Constantine, in which he conquered the powers of evil by God’s help. His mother, St. Helena, led the expedition to recover the true Cross from Jerusalem and centuries later, Emperor Heraclius led his armies to combat the pagan world and return the Cross to its rightful home. This instrument of torture has become the instrument of our salvation, and it is only through the Cross that true peace is restored. “For the sake of Jesus, let us persevere on the cross.” #20220914K
12th Sunday After Pentecost 2022 Enthronement Of The Holy Infant Of Prague – The popularity of the devotion to Our Lord in the image of the Holy Infant of Prague has spread worldwide. After the original image had been treated with disregard and forgotten for many years, through the miraculous direction from Heaven, it was restored to its former place of honor. The inviting words of encouragement spoken by Christ, “the more you honor Me, the more I will bless you,” have touched the hearts of so many faithful who now approach the Holy Infant in the hopes that He grant them the love and simplicity of little children so that they may enter with Him into the kingdom of God. #20220828
9th Sunday After Pentecost 2022 We must not neglect the saints. We should know something about the great saints this week like Saints John Vianney, Lawrence, and Clare. But we must not forget those saints that are especially attacked in our day, like St. Philomena and St. Christopher. Those who speak ill of God and His saints blaspheme and will not go unpunished. We know that God rewards the good and punishes the evil and only permits evil to bring forth a greater good. Just as He cleansed His physical temple of thieves, so He will one day cleanse the world and the Church of all corruption. 20220807K
8th Sunday After Pentecost 2022 ”Taste and see how sweet the Lord is” These words are from the earliest Communion psalm, which was a favorite among the early Christians. We celebrate the feast of the Holy Maccabees, the only Old Testaments saints celebrated in the liturgy, and their story reminds us of our need for fortitude during suffering, to stand against persecution, and to be true to our principals. Our Rosary and spiritual reading are more powerful against the world than carrying signs of protest. #20220731M
First Friday, November 2021 Two final notes concerning the Holy Souls are how they pass time in Purgatory and how we relate to them. We are raised with the secular teaching that the Church and State should be separated. Christ spoke to the people of His time as integral individuals and did not dichotomize them by their public and private lives. The Our Father petitions for the coming of His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Christ did not limit Himself to individuals but commanded preaching to entire nations. All this is based on the hypostatic union which constitutes Our Lord as priest and king. St. Pius X said that the problems of the world are permitted by the laxity and lukewarmness of passive Catholics. #20211105
Feast Of Christ The King 2021 We are subjects of Christ, our King, and as such we are grateful to assist at this feast day and to follow Him faithfully. Pope Pius XI instituted this feast almost a century ago and placed it before All Saints day. This highlights His authority over the saints and encourages us to pray to them for their intercession. The encyclical of the pope teaches about the basis of Our Lord’s Kingship in the Incarnation. It explains His three fold powers as executor, legislator and judge. His is a gentle rule over the hearts of men and in due time He rescues us. On our part, we must never compromise what our King has asked us to do and the best way to honor Him is by denying ourselves, taking up our crosses daily and following Him into His heavenly kingdom. #20211031K
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
17th Sunday After Pentecost 2021 Today is also the feast of St. Januarius who was martyred in the fourth century. A vial of his blood is preserved in Naples in a reliquary and on his feastday it often liquifies to show the saint’s protection of the city. It did so today. On this day in 1846 the Blessed Mother appeared to a shepherdess and a young boy who were pasturing cattle on the side of a hill in the French Alps. Our Lady explained how disregard of the second and third commandments by profaning her Son’s Holy Name and missing Mass and doing servile work on Sundays were the causes of the famines etc. that were punishing the people. She gave the children prophecies of terrible future events if the world did not convert and do penance. #20210919K
Feast Of Saints Peter & Paul 2021 This feast honors Saints Peter and Paul who were martyred in Rome on this day. Today concentrates on St. Peter and tomorrow is dedicated to St. Paul. The Introit and Epistle show us the deliverance of St. Peter from Herod at the last moment and the Gospel etc. point to St. Peter’s special mission from Our Lord as the rock upon which He will build His Church. Christ gave Simon Bar-Jona training that tempered his natural impetuosity and made him into the humble and wise visible head of His Mystical Body. We can rest assured that St. Peter continues to safeguard the Church and its members today and will see that we are safe from harm and the machinations of the evil one. St. Peter will also teach us in our personal lives how to overcome our own vices to become true followers of Our Lord. #20210629M
