Meditation On The Resurrection

March 26, 2016By

Easter Vigil 2016

What does it mean for us to say: Christ rose from the dead?  It means that He finally and once and for all overcame Death and gave us a hope for our own resurrection if we stay true to His words.  This awesome act of the Son of God, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, is the most profound and stupendous act in all of human history and the symbols of the Fire, Paschal Candle, Holy Water that He left us are meant to give us a glimpse of the compassion Jesus has for us as we travel the road set for us when He said to His disciples: “I will not leave you orphans.”  It is important also that we remember the large number of people who give testimony to this Event – that it was not just a story or fable of some kind but that it really happened.

The Sun of Justice Rises

April 12, 2015By

Low Sunday 2015
We call this day Sunday because the early English-speaking Christians kept the pagan name of the day to honor the “Sun of Justice” Who has risen.  This is common practice of Catholicism, to Christianize every culture.  Easter Sunday is the day of the Light of the Sun of Justice.  We are more sons of God then even sons of our parents.  Because we have a share in God’s life, our only desire should be to obtain Heaven. Our three infallible Witnesses are in Heaven Who give testimony of the truth that Christ is both God and man.

The Only Acceptable Worship

April 4, 2015By

Easter Vigil 2015
We are privileged to be a part of the unbroken history of this liturgy. Catholic worship is more than merely a compilation of rituals. It is a true reliving of the past. Because of our fallen nature, and the sins we commit, we are not placed in friendship with God but in enmity with Him. Merely human worship, therefore, does not suffice in pleasing God. There is only one worship that is acceptable to Him and that is the worship of His Divine Son. Every act of the Divine Son is infinitely holy. In the instant when His death on the cross took place, the destiny of the universe was changed, and the true Promised Land of Heaven was opened to us.

We Are Not Yet Home

May 11, 2014By

Sermon From The
3rd Sunday after Easter 2014
✟Father Violette
We know that God is every quality that is good and the Blessed Mother is the creature closest to imitating this infinite perfection.  She is the model that mothers should imitate.  Heaven, where we are immune from all suffering, is meant to be our home forever.  We forget how close God is to us during this life.  He will remain with us even when we sin as long as we do not sin mortally.  We are sustained by His thought of us.

Everlasting Pleasure

May 4, 2014By

Sermon From The
2nd Sunday after Easter 2014
St. Peter reminds us in the Epistle for today that our obligation is to become saints.  Our Lord compares our relationship with Him to the relationship between Him and His Father.  The world mistakenly teaches that life is all about pleasure and worldly goals.  We either think as God thinks or as the world does.  If we seek the everlasting pleasure of Heaven, rather than the passing pleasures of this life, God will begin to reward us even now.

The Victory of Our Faith

April 27, 2014By

Sermon From
Low Sunday 2014
Our Lord has truly risen, and we are here to celebrate that event.  “This is the victory that overcomes the world – our faith.”  This is the victory that leads us to Heaven.  The Blessed Mother was the first person that Our Lord visited after His Resurrection.  We know this not because the Bible mentions it directly but because it tells us by omission.  She was not among the women visiting the tomb, because she already knew her Son had risen. We are small and insignificant, but because of the faith we will be victorious.

You Will Wake in Heaven

April 19, 2014By

Sermon From The
Easter Vigil 2014
There are many reasons for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, but one of the most important was that He might release to us all the benefits He won on the Cross.  This is why, even in His glorified Body, He keeps the wounds of His Passion.  Heaven is available to all and we were created to enjoy it.  As St. Augustine says, “You made us for Yourself.”  Although the Vigil begins in complete darkness, we are soon shown the Light of Christ which guides us on our way.  By His grace our lives are touched, and we are brought to our final reward.

The Three Give Testimony

April 7, 2013By

Low Sunday 2013
This Sunday does not have the liturgical splendor of Easter, and it is in comparison to that feast that it is called Low Sunday.  We made promises on Easter to love Christ and to put away the things of the devil.  Although we do not know the true state of our souls, we should examine our spiritual life and ask ourselves if we have made any progress.  The Gospel account of today is a truly exquisite example of God’s mercy.  We are quick to judge the Apostles for their doubts, but how often do we struggle with doubts of our own?  The sacrament of Penance was instituted on the evening of Easter Sunday.  We see Christ in the Holy Eucharist, but we must still believe.  We are told that St. Mary Magdalen was one of the first to see the risen Lord because, despite her sins, she remained faithful at the foot of the Cross.  May we ever retain the effect of the Paschal mysteries in our lives.

The Covenant Has Been Renewed

March 31, 2013By

Easter Sunday 2013
We have now had the culmination of the whole Lenten season. We have been catechumens and penitents in preparation for our union with Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Now we walk with Christ in the liturgy. Our Lenten time of training began with the season of examination, then we had to follow Christ to Jerusalem. The Blessed Mother offered her Son on the Cross for each one of us. We have now renounced Satan and proclaimed our faith. We may be small and afraid, just as the Apostles were, but Our Lord had not forgotten them and he has not forgotten us. All order is restored by Christ’s words, “peace be to you.”
