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. #20220529K
4th Sunday After Easter 2022 “Do not let the sun go down on your anger.” In hearing these words, we must remember that this refers to unjust anger. The irascible passion of anger, when justified, is not only important but even necessary. This is why we are told to, “be angry, and sin not.”
The Spirit of God will magnify the Son by expressing all His goodness, holiness, and truth. This recalls to mind the words of the Blessed Virgin, “My soul magnifies the lord…”. Not only all of creation, but particularly the virtue and humility of God’s creatures expresses the His glory.
The children who receive Holy Communion today remind us all of the happiest day of our own lives, when we received the Holy Eucharist for the first time. Even those who have left the true Faith still admit that this was the happiest event of their lives.
The beautiful clothes of the children reflect the beauty of their souls, now prepared for welcome Christ. We are ready to become Christ’s home. He made us that He might come to us and also bring us to Himself. Every gift received is from Christ, who loves us more than any mother or father could.
People forget these basic truths and live lives of pleasure, pride, and greed. At the end of their lives they are filled with great fear, knowing they must leave everything behind. We must avoid the tricks of the devil and bad friends and remain always faithful to Our Lord in this Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. #20220515
Holy Thursday 2022 Today is a good day to remind everyone about how to receive Holy Communion properly. The Epistle is a warning from St. Paul that is timely because we live in a time of unprecedented sacrileges against Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. The Gospel describes the Mandatum when Christ washed the feet of His apostles. This was the first interruption of what was the last Passover meal. The second interruption near the end when when Our Lord gave His most precious gift just before His death – Himself in the Holy Eucharist. This is the supreme sacrament in the Church that everything revolves around. The Mass and priesthood which were instituted this night with the Holy Eucharist are essential to Its continuation to the end of time. All the problems which face us can and will be solved by God in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar. #20220414
Feast Of The Sacred Heart of Jesus 2021 The beautiful Epistle for this Mass gives an insight into the love of God found in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The supernatural knowledge coming to us through this Heart changes our lives and makes us feel the ardor of divine charity. Our Lord revealed many of His secrets to St. Margaret Mary and his messages through her are meant to assure us of His tender loving care in the face of the coldness of the world around us. He told her that this revelation was the very last gift of His to a fallen world. Despite the wounds received, even from consecrated souls, Christ promises that His love will triumph. #20210611
First Friday Conference June 2021 This First Friday coming between the feasts of Corpus Christi and Sacred Heart points out the unity between these truths of the Faith. We learn from Our Lord how much humility is a foundational virtue for Him and in our own spiritual life. The complementary virtues are magnanimity and magnificence. In the Holy Eucharist Christ lives in a state of humility and the Mass is the means of bringing this to us. The eucharistic miracle of Lanciano shows this humility of the Sacred Heart. The creation and conservation of all that is comes through Jesus and is recalled and honored at Mass, particularly the minor elevation. Unfortunately, all too many, especially impious Catholics, insult our humble Savior in His loving Sacrament.

Feast Of Corpus Christi 2021 The Holy Eucharist is the greatest of the sacraments because It not only gives us grace but is the Author of grace Himself. It is the beginning and goal of the Christian life. Catholics do not appreciate this as much as the enemies of the Church do. They attack the Holy Eucharist as seen in the case of Martin Luther and those who followed him. A primary tactic of theirs in destroying the faith of the people was communion in the hand. A recent survey showed that 70% of Catholics do not believe Our Lord is present in the Holy Eucharist but that It is only bread. In reality, this sacrament was the source of the conversion of the world and the power behind all missionaries. The Holy Eucharist accompanies us during life and through Viaticum leads us to eternal life.

4th Sunday after Easter 2021 – First Holy Communion Sunday This week we have the feasts of St. Monica, whose prayers and tears were necessary to convert her son, and St. Pius V, whose papal initiatives preserved our traditional Latin Mass and saved Christendom at the battle of Lepanto. Congratulations to our first communicants who will receive at this Mass. This is a great day for our Savior Who wanted this communion from all eternity. There is no greater love than Our Lord’s because He surrendered His life on the cross so to be able to come in communion today. Christ asks you to give Him your hearts. You have the model of a eucharistic saint in the boy who received holy communion from the angels while tending his flock far from church. #20210502
St. Paul warns us in the Epistle not to abuse Our Lord by receiving Him sacrilegiously in Holy Communion. This is especially so because the Holy Eucharist is the greatest gift God has given us and the sign of His love for us. To betray this love is like the kiss of Judas. The Mandatum is part of the ceremony and this is Christ’s commandment of love which He taught the apostles by His own example. In giving us Himself in the Holy Eucharist Our Lord asks us to love Him in return. We have many heroic ancestors to follow who inspire us when we experience our own difficulties in returning love for love. Eucharistic miracles are God’s frequent way of proving the truth of the Faith and with all these aids we should not be discouraged. #20210401
Laetare Sunday – 4th Sunday In Lent 2021 The Gospel today tells about the multiplication of the loaves and fishes by Our Lord about a year before His Passion and Death. This miracle was a preparation for the first Mass and the institution of the Holy Eucharist on Holy Thursday. The happiness that we receive from the Blessed Sacrament is what gives joy to this Sunday in the middle of Lent and is expressed in the liturgy by the beautiful rose color of the vestments today. In addition, a golden rose was customarily blessed on this day, used to decorate the altar and then given to a Catholic monarch who assisted at the Mass. The sacredness of the Holy Eucharist demands reverence in its administration as St. Thomas Aquinas said centuries ago. #20210314
Sixth Sunday after Pentecost 2020 After hearing about Saints John Gualbert, Veronica, Bonaventure, Henry, the Carmelite Sisters of Compiegne and Camillus we had a renewal of the Paschal sacraments of Baptism and Holy Eucharist in the Epistle and Gospel. The Divine Office recounts the story of King David and how his sloth led to sins of adultery and murder. His meekness saved him when his crimes were exposed by the prophet Nathan. We should imitate his repentance and reject the devil and all his works. Receiving Our Lord in Holy Communion faithfully will lead us to union and heaven one day. #20200712M
