Sexagesima Sunday 2017 60 days before Easter and counting. This is a time of conversion – conversion from what? From a sinful lifestyle engendered by our fallen nature as a result of Original Sin and our pride, stoked by the evil, which leads us to commit actual sins.

Sermon From 20th Sunday After Pentecost 2015 This year marks the 500th anniversary of the birth of St. Teresa of Avila and her feast is this week. Her quotes show her to be a traditionalist and a teacher of prayer. Today is also the feast of the Divine Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Last…
3rd Sunday after Easter 2015 Today’s Epistle tells us of the importance of good example. Many more conversions are made by good example than by preaching.

Good Shepherd Sunday 2015 This is the day we are called to a more perfect life. Our Lord shows Himself to be the Good Shepherd Who truly loves His sheep. Not only does He care for and nourish His flock, but He protects us from attacks, even to the point of giving His life for…

3rd Sunday in Lent 2015 This is the Mass of sight, and today we ask God to let us see the truth and follow it. Today we are reminded to know our enemy and not underestimate him. The miracle of this Gospel is discredited by modern “theologians,” who are the equivalent of the pharisees in…
2nd Sunday in Lent 2015 There are Catholics who are giving their lives for the Faith in our own day. What a powerful lesson that should encourage us to stand courageously with Christ in our own lives. St. Thomas Aquinas is an excellent example for us of humility, obedience, and the need for spiritual reading. Spiritual…
Ash Wednesday 2015 Not one word is said about punishment or damnation in the readings for this Mass, and that should give a hint to Catholics about the true spirit of this season. There is no such thing as a private sin. Not only are all our sins known to the heavenly court, but the…
