Immaculate Conception 2025 – Evening Mass The Epistle for this Mass was chosen by the Church for this day and applied to the Blessed Virgin Mary because she was so perfectly united to the Son of God in His Incarnation. This sublime mystery is often misunderstood, but the true doctrine refers to her miraculous preservation from original sin from the moment of conception in the womb of St. Anne. The devil has waged war against the offspring of Our Lady, as described in the book of the Apocalypse. She was given the privilege of being preserved from sin in preparation for her great vocation as Mother of God and her intimate cooperation in our redemption. #20251208K
Christmas Conference 2024 In a moment in time the Word assumed a human nature and from then on, He was completely God and completely man and will be so for all eternity. This feast of Christmas also includes the doctrine of the Virgin Birth. The Blessed Mother was virgin before, during, and after the birth of Christ. This miracle foreshadowed the Resurrection, in which Christ passed through His tomb while leaving it shut.
The reason why the Son became man was first to honor His Father, and only secondarily for the salvation of mankind. All things were made as an expression of His goodness, and all mankind was made for God first. God became a Father in a new way on Christmas, because it was only then that He became Father in the flesh. Our Lord came to dwell forever in our hearts as the King of Peace. This is a feast of hope which offers a foretaste of the final victory at the end of time. The three Masses of Christmas focus, first on the eternal birth of the Son from the Father, then the birth of the Word in the Flesh, and finally the birth of the Word in men’s hearts. Christ appeared as a helpless child, and all are drawn to the innocence and purity of an infant. It teaches each one of us to become like little children so we might enter the kingdom of Heaven. #20241220
First Friday, December 2024 Conference on Grace and The Immaculate Conception – When we speak of perfect passive conception, we refer to the moment in which the product of active conception is infused with a soul and becomes a human person. From this moment of perfect passive conception, the Virgin Mary was redeemed in a preservative, not a liberative, manner. The Blessed Mother from this point possessed a greater union with God than all the angels and saints. Our Lady was not only free from the guilt of Original Sin, but also the concupiscence of the flesh, of the eyes, and the pride of life. By a divine ligature, she was unable to consent to even the slightest imperfections.
Sanctifying Grace is a created share in the supernatural life of God. When God breathed human life into Adam, He breathed a share of divine life into him as well. Grace must be valued above all things. We must be willing to live and die to preserve it. The Blessed Mother was given the plenitude of grace in preparation for her role as the Mother of God, as well as Mother to each one of us. #20241206
Conference on 1st Friday July 2024 In St. Paul’s instruction to the young bishop, St. Timothy, he emphasized the importance of spiritual reading. If this instruction is given to a bishop, it applies all the more so to the laity. Prayer and spiritual reading are necessary for the growth of sanctity.
St. Anthony Mary Zaccaria became a physician in his early life but soon discovered that his calling was not to heal men’s bodies but their souls. He dedicated his life to the assistance of the dying and the welfare of children, and his great love of the Holy Eucharist led to his institution of the 40 Hours Devotion.
In gratitude for the victory over the forces of Free Masonry, Pope Pius IX elevated the feast of the Visitation. There were two annunciations in preparation for the coming of the Redeemer – the annunciation of the birth of St. John the Baptist and that of Our Lord. St. John the Baptist was the herald of Our Lord not only in his words, but in his life. In the Visitation we see the great love of the Blessed Mother, who cares for even our smallest needs. #20240705
Feast of the Purification 2024 The candle is one of the great sacramentals of the Church. It is like a sacrament in the sense that it is an outward sign, but unlike a sacrament, it does not give grace automatically. This day links Our Lord and the Blessed Mother so closely. Today we remember both the joyful mystery of the Rosary and the first of the Virgin Mary’s great sorrows. Because the Mother of God was not affected by original sin, and because of the Virginal Birth, she was not subject to the law requiring purification. However, she submitted to it in all humility. God used the New Eve to carry the New Adam into the Garden, when the Blessed Mother carried Our Lord into the temple. #20240202M
Feast of the Holy Family 2024 St. Joseph is the head of our family. He was formed in the image of God the Father because he was given a share of the same love that God possesses for His Son. St. Joseph loves us as he loved Christ, because we are part of the Mystical Body. The Blessed Virgin is the true Mother of God because she gave Him His human life. Our Lord knew all things in His Divine Mind, but He chose to learn as we do in His human mind, so He could be the perfect model of humility. He wanted to be like us, so we would want to be like Him. Today we are taught about the virtue of obedience, without which we cannot be saved. #20240107S
Christmas Octave 2024 The saints of the Christmas season are St. Stephen, the model of resistance against unbelief, St. John, the Apostle against division within the Church, and the Holy Innocents, who are the models standing against corrupt governments. Today is the feast of the Circumcision, which offers proof of the true humanity of Christ, because on this day He shed the first drops of His Precious Blood. In participating in this ceremony of the Old Law, Christ was associated with us sinners, and will be for all eternity. Today God was given a name that all could utter. When we call upon the name of Jesus, we ask God to save our soul. Today is also the Solemnity of Mary which proclaims the Virgin Birth. #20240101
Christmas Midnight Mass 2023 It is a true joy to relive the happiness of that night in Bethlehem in which our Savior was born. It was in silence and solitude Our Lord entered the world. Just as Christ passed through the rock of His tomb at the moment of His Resurrection, He passed through the womb of the Blessed Mother, without violating her virginity. This chapel is our Bethlehem, in which we relive the moments of the Nativity. We are united with all of our forefathers throughout the history of the Church. Our Lord came not only for the glory of His Father, but for us and our salvation. Christmas is the beginning of Christ’s victory over the world. #20231225
Evening Sermon on the Feast of The Immaculate Conception 2023 Pope Pius IX, invoking his infallibility, proclaimed the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1854. Our Lady was saved in a unique way by her preservation from Original Sin at the moment of her Immaculate Conception. The Epistle for this feast was applied to the Virgin Mary by the Church to emphasize that she was always in God’s mind. The faithful have always believed this dogma, supported by Holy Scripture, since the beginning of Christianity. Our Country is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. #20231208M
Sermon on the Feast of The Immaculate Conception 2023 This dogma has always been believed by the Christian world, but more recently it was made gravely binding for every Catholic to believe. The Virgin Mary was redeemed more perfectly than the rest of men. She was preserved from all stain of original sin by an anticipation of the future merits of Jesus Christ. She was given the initial plenitude of grace at conception, but her capacity to receive Sanctifying Grace grew with her throughout her life. God knew the evil of man after his fall, so God promised that he would put enmity between the devil and the woman. The Blessed Mother has both the heart of a virgin and the heart of a mother. #20231208
