Low Sunday 2024 Today is called Low Sunday because it is small in comparison to the great feast of Easter. St. Thomas’ doubt has made it easier for us to believe, because the proofs of the Resurrection that Christ offered help strengthen our faith. Now that we have put to death the old man, we…
Good Friday 2024 We do not have the Mass today because even though the Mass is the re-presentation of Our Lord’s death, it is also the reminder of His Resurrection. The Church avoids even the slightest hint of joy on this day. An infinite offense was offered to God and only an Infinite Being could…
Passion Sunday 2024 Saint Patrick stood for the true God against the pagans in Ireland. He threw down the idols of the druids and established the Catholic Church in what is now known as the Island of Saints. Saint Cyril of Jerusalem fought against the Arian heresy and was persecuted for it. His bravery and…
Laetare Sunday 2024 We celebrate the midpoint of the season of Lent by looking forward to the glory to come. The way we pray is the way we believe, which is why Catholic worship has been so attacked by the enemy. A golden rose would be blessed and anointed on this day by the pope…
2nd Sunday in Lent 2024 St. Paul calls us to make “even greater progress,” but in order to do so, we must begin attacking our habits of venial sin. Mortal sins kill the soul, but venial sins are the great obstacle to sanctification. These lesser sins can easily be overlooked if we are not on…
1st Sunday in Lent 2024 We are particularly the objects of temptation during this season in which God is calling us to sanctity. During the temptation of Christ in the desert, Our Lord was not drawn to the evil as we are. St. Margaret of Cortona after discovering her lover’s body, made a complete conversion…
Ash Wednesday Evening 2024 Our heart should remain forever in the chapel with Our Lord. Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving are the great practices of Lent. The words that were spoken by God to Adam and Eve after the Fall are repeated for us today with the distribution of blessed ashes. We are reminded of our…
Ash Wednesday 2024 The Church reminds us of the fate that awaits all men. We are mortal and destined to return to dust. The sacramental of blessed ashes reminds us of our mortality and also the transient nature of worldly glory. From the triumphant Roman generals to the Byzantine emperors, a Memento Mori has been…
Quinquagesima Sunday 2024 Abraham is our patron today. His willingness to sacrifice his only begotten son was a type of the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. In today’s Gospel, the Apostles did not understand Our Lord’s words. To remove any doubts, Jesus performed the miracle of curing the blind man, demonstrating His divine power. We also…
Sexagesima Sunday 2024 St. Gregory tells us that this Gospel needs no explanation, because Our Lord explained it Himself. We must ask ourselves, are we the “good ground” or are we the “bad ground”? It is a dogma of our Faith that everyone, without discrimination, is given the chance to be saved. If we are…
