He Craves Our Love

June 7, 2013By

Sermon From
The Feast Of The Sacred Heart 2013
It is sad how feasts like this one have been neglected by priests in the past to the detriment of the devotion of the faithful.  Our Lord came to St. Margaret Mary, showed her His Heart and with other things said that even consecrated souls mistreated Him.  Pope Pius XII taught that no Catholic is free from practicing this devotion because it is so essential to the Christian life of sacrifice and of returning love by reparation to God.  The Heart of Our Savior beats ceaselessly with deep affection for each of us and for mankind as a whole.  We must reciprocate by imitating Christ’s life in our own as the saints have especially those with the stigmata.

All Is Found in the Cross

March 29, 2013By

Good Friday 2013
We should pray to enter into the mind and Sacred Heart of Our Lord during this ceremony.  In His sufferings, our Redeemer bore the weight of all the sins of all mankind.  Through His unimaginable tortures, He never ceased thinking of us.  He looks down at His loving Mother, St. John, and Mary Magdalen.  He also sees His enemies and the bystanders who mocked Him.  In what group would we be found?  Would we be more faithful than the majority of the Apostles?  Do we have ill will in our hearts for our neighbor, even in the face of this moving scene?  All who have conformed their lives to the Cross will come to Christ with great confidence in the last day.  There is no hope of eternal life except in the Cross of Christ.

Joy Amidst Suffering

November 9, 2012By

Conference On Purgatory
1st Friday November 2012
The Holy Souls in Purgatory experience eviternity, or what is called discontinuous time, which is that time which measures the change in a soul.  God lives in a reality independent of time, and one might say that the souls in Purgatory live in a reality between time and eternity.  If one dies without being completely prepared, the presence of God would be too intense for the soul to endure.  It must first be purified completely before seeing God, and this is the reason for Purgatory.  The joy experienced in Purgatory is like the joy of Heaven amidst suffering.

The Safeguard of Loyalty

September 16, 2012By

16th Sunday after Pentecost 2012

During an early persecution of the Church, St. Januarius was so loyal to his friends that, at the risk of his own life, he went to visit them while they were imprisoned.  This heroic choice led to his arrest and martyrdom.  The importance of the virtue of loyalty should be inculcated by parents into their children.

We have received great instruction during the thirty days of Our Lady.  The reason why the devotion of the five first Saturdays of the month exists is because Our Lord desires that we make up for the five great attacks against His Holy Mother, particularly the attacks against her perpetual virginity.  Thirty days are not enough to make up for all the Blessed Virgin has suffered for each of us.  We must remain confident that God will have mercy on us if we persevere in prayer.

Mother in Joy and Sorrow

September 15, 2012By

Feast of the Seven Sorrows 2012
The Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Mother do not include all the sufferings which the Virgin Mary endured throughout her life, but only the most poignant moments of her pain.  All the sufferings Our Lord endured led to the instant of His death and our redemption.  All of His Mother’s sufferings led to that same moment.  She became the Mother of God in a moment of joy, and became our Mother in a moment of sorrow.  This is the feast that allows us to see Our Lady, devoid of all simplistic sentimentality, in the stark reality of who she really was.  The word compassion literally means to suffer with someone.  The true practice of this virtue is seldom found in our day.  It is perfectly exemplified in that deepest share the Blessed Mother was given in the sufferings of her Divine Son.

The Solidarity of the Human Race

August 26, 2012By

13th Sunday after Pentecost 2012
We cannot gain an increase of Sanctifying Grace for other souls, however through congruent merit, we have the ability to win an increase of divine assistance for our neighbor. The closer we are to God the more He will bless those around us. This is referred to as the solidarity of the human race. It is also why we pray for the intercession of the saints. It is as if the close friends of Our Lord have a claim on His goodness.

The most important of the moral virtues is prudence, because it governs all the other moral virtues. It is prudence which prevents both excess and defect in the practice of the other virtues

He Suffered All for You

April 6, 2012By

Good Friday 2012
The liturgical prayer of the faithful for all people, united with the prayer of Christ for His enemies on the Cross, was a practice from the earliest days of the Church.  We prostrate in this ceremony to express our profound sorrow for having personally caused the death of Christ.  He died for love of each of us, and so that we would love Him in return.  The love God has for us is so far beyond reason that it is as impossible to grasp as He Himself.  God suffered in proportion to all the sins that have ever been and will ever be committed.  How much love must we give in return?  This is truly the saddest and happiest day in the history of the world.

How Dare We Hold a Grudge

January 22, 2012By

3rd Sunday after Epiphany 2012
This Epistle informs us that we should not imagine we are correct in all things.  Those who are wise know that they could be mistaken.  Also, we are instructed to avoid the desire for vengeance.  We must strive to be at peace with all men as much as possible – even our enemies.  St. Catherine of Genoa tells us that our love of God is measured by our love of neighbor.  By performing acts of charity towards our enemies, we obtain many graces for them.  Anyone who says that he loves God and hates his neighbor is a liar.  God shows love to us when we are His enemies through sin.  He offers His forgiveness to us before we are even sorry.

Watch For The Signs

November 20, 2011By

Last Sunday after Pentecost 2011
Death comes to us all, and at the moment of our death judgment is passed instantaneously.  No longer distracted by the material world, the soul is given a direct intuition of its state in the eyes of God and its eternal abode is fixed forever.  The Holy Souls thirst for our prayers, because they are utterly incapable of helping themselves anymore.

The end of the world is spoken of by Christ more than any other topic.  No matter what happens in the times to come, we must maintain trust in God, knowing that He will not let anything happen to the souls of His friends.  The reason there will be a General Judgment is because every sin has a public aspect to it, and God’s justice must be vindicated publicly.  God gives us signs predicting the end of time to console the just and frighten the wicked, and we must be able to recognize these nine signs, so we may know when our judgment is at hand.
