Nourished By The Sacred Heart

Feast of The Sacred Heart 2025

Although this feast was only added to the universal calendar within the last few hundred years, its origins go back to the Incarnation itself.  How fitting this year that this feast falls on the feast of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, in whose womb Christ’s Heart first began to beat.  A new devotion was necessary to combat false Christianity and Jansenism.  This devotion of the Sacred Heart was reserved for our latter times, when the love of the world has grown cold.  The propagation of the Sacred Heart devotion faced great opposition, even from Catholic bishops and priests.  Jesus Christ’s Sacred Heart not only moved His Precious Blood throughout His Body but represents His love for all of us.  As was seen in the apparition to St. Margaret Mary, in the wound of the Heart of Christ was written the word “caritas,” meaning “love.”  His Heart remains forever in the Holy Eucharist to sustain and nourish us.  We must not be passive on this day; His love obliges us to love Him in return.

A Necessary Feast

June 19, 2025By

Feast of Corpus Christi 2025
Our Lord Himself expressed the need for the institution of this feast.  It was necessary from both a liturgical point of view and for the spiritual life of all the faithful.  We are unable to celebrate properly this greatest of all sacraments on Holy Thursday, because it is overshadowed by the sorrow of Christ’s Passion.  At the beginning of our spiritual journey following the feast of Pentecost, this day points us to the greatest aid we are given to achieve our last end – the Blessed Sacrament.  We are brought into the Faith because of the Holy Eucharist, we grow in the Faith because of It, and receiving Holy Communion is the promise of our future glory.  This sacrament, like the manna from Heaven, strengthens us throughout that arduous sojourn in the desert of our lives.

Our Spiritual Food

Our Spiritual Food

2nd Sunday after Easter 2025
Good Shepherd Sunday – 1st Communion Sunday – Our Lord made it clear that He is the Good Shepherd Who guides and protects us, His helpless sheep.  It is only through His guidance, and the help of the priests whom He has chosen, that we are able to remain on the true path without straying.  As our Redeemer, He laid down His life for His sheep, and we should always be filled with gratitude for this greatest of all gifts.

In the Holy Eucharist, we are able to look at Jesus Christ.  He created this sacrament so that He would be received by all of us.  The most important time to pray is when Our Lord is present within us after Holy Communion, and we must always assist at Mass with reverence, attention, and devotion.  We should never lose our appreciation for the gift of receiving the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of the Son of God.

The Infinite Worshiper

April 17, 2025By

Holy Thursday 2025
Today we are celebrating the birthday of the Sacrifice of the Mass, the Holy Eucharist, and the priesthood.  We have been warned that we must learn from the sacred things we witness during this time, and it is incumbent upon us to call to mind the details of Our Lord’s life during these last days and moments before His death.  Christ explained to the Apostles at the Last Supper that the bread, wine, and lamb of the Passover meal are all one in Him.  For all priests all Thursdays are a day of retreat in commemoration of this great anniversary of the priesthood.  After the moment of the Incarnation all the prayers of the angels now pass through the Son of God made man.  First, He gave us Himself in the consecration of the bread, then in the consecration of the wine He gave us the Mass, and lastly, He instructed the Apostles to “do in like manner” and in these words He gave us the priesthood.  Today we continue the great feast of love practiced by the early Church and thank God for the birthday of the Eucharistic Christ.

Communion of Reparation

May 30, 2024By

Feast of Corpus Christi 2024
We should strive to better understand the feast of Corpus Christi from both a historical and doctrinal perspective.  The Church is called to celebrate today with even greater joy and reverence knowing that the doctrine of the Holy Eucharist is so ignored, unknown, and attacked.  The Holy Eucharist is both a sacrifice and a sacrament.  The sacrifice is remembered on Holy Thursday, while the sacramental aspect is celebrated today.  Christ deliberately called for two consecrations at the Mass, so that under the separation of these signs the mystical sacrifice would take place.  We are at the Cross in a mystical way, and receiving God in this sacrament brings us into the Trinitarian life.  We must not only adore Our Lord and thank Him today, but also make reparation for all our sins and those of our fellow man.

He Bought The World

Precious Blood 2023
This feast is the liturgical completion of Good Friday, the day when the Precious Blood was poured out for our salvation.  In these days when our holy Faith is in danger and under attack, we recall the great heritage of martyrs who shed their blood in imitation of Christ.  At the true Mass we have no doubt what takes place at the Consecration.  Christ’s death continues to the end of time and we are invited to be part of it.  If not for the Precious Blood no sins would be forgiven.

We Offer Infinite Glory

June 11, 2023By

2nd Sunday after Pentecost 2023
Today’s Gospel warns us against neglecting God.  If we put off His invitation to salvation through sin and vice, we will surely lose His invitation.  God instituted the feast of Corpus Christi right before this Sunday to remind us of the importance of the Blessed Sacrament.  This day is a second Corpus Christi in which we may offer ourselves in union with Christ.  Through the Holy Sacrifice we give God infinite glory. Without the spirit of poverty, chastity and obedience, we will not be saved.

Bringing Heaven To Earth

June 8, 2023By

Corpus Christi 2023
This feast was requested by God Himself so that the Blessed Sacrament might be honored not only as a sacrifice but also as the greatest of sacraments.  It is the reason for the other sacraments, It is the reason for the priesthood, and It is the cause of unity in the Mystical Body of Christ.  This feast is perfectly placed after the feast of the Blessed Trinity because it is the greatest means of achieving our last end in possession of the Blessed Trinity.  God placed in our hearts a desire to taste the Infinite, and in the Holy Eucharist we fulfill that desire.

Guarantee of Heaven

June 16, 2022By

Feast Of Corpus Christi 2022
The Mass, renewing our Savior’s death on the cross, replaced all the rites of the Old Law.  None are excluded from this sacrifice unless they should decline the invitation.  We faithful strive daily for union with Christ in the Holy Eucharist, and we hope to die doing so.  This is the food to strengthen us on our journey back to heaven.  We are made in God’s image and have been given the ability to choose so that we might use it to choose Him.  Our Lord leaves us free and does not compel us in this choice.  Let us receive Christ’s Body now as a foretaste of heaven to come.

God Wants Our Whole Heart

May 29, 2022By

Sunday After The Ascension 2022
We, as Catholics, must not lead a double life.  God desires our whole heart.  When we are told that we must “watch in prayer,” this means that we must be on guard against both the enemy and occasions of sin.  What a wonderful reward we are offered for the practice of charity by Christ’s words, “charity covers a multitude of sins.”  An act as simple as feeding our family is a corporal work of mercy.  With the practice of fortitude, we can remain steadfast in the Faith, overcome the despondency the devil attempts to create in us, and continually grow in devotion.
