Draw All Things To Myself

Sermon From
The Feast Of Corpus Christi 2013
St. Bonaventure warned that removal of the Blessed Sacrament from the Church would leave the people like a herd of animals. St. Paul in the Epistle gives a monitum about irreverence to the Holy Eucharist in his day. What about our times? This feast has a special history because of its origin around a miracle. St. Thomas Aquinas composed the texts for this Mass and today’s Divine Office. The teaching about this sacred gift from God is clear and separates our true Church from all other false religions. Christ died to give us Himself in this way and it is sacrilegious, ungrateful and irreverent to treat the Sacrament of His Body and Blood in anything less than a loving and devout manner.

His Last Will and Testament

March 28, 2013By

Sermon On
Holy Thursday 2013
Despite being the season of the Passion, the altar and celebrant are draped in white, because the Church cannot conceal her joy and gratitude for the gifts she has received today.  In preparation for His death, Christ promulgates His last will and testament for His offspring, but unlike an earthly father who can only pass on his wealth, Our Lord gives His children His enduring presence in the Holy Eucharist, and the means of perpetuating it in the priesthood.  All the gifts we receive from Christ, especially those of this day, are given freely and lovingly.  We should value these gifts above everything.  The institution of the Mass is the supreme gift of Christ.  Through this sacrifice the Son offers homage and adoration to His Father.  Through it we make reparation for our sins.  In the Sacrament of the Altar is truly present, not only grace, but the Author of all grace.  Now that the priesthood is so reviled and attacked, we should appreciate it more than ever.  Christians of the past were willing to shed their blood in defense of these awesome gifts – are we?

A Glimpse of the Divine

February 24, 2013By

Sermon From The
2nd Sunday in Lent 2013
Today the faithful gather at the stational church of the Blessed Mother, so that we might be encouraged by the liturgy.  If we are being attacked, that means we are on the right path.  These three Apostles were chosen to glimpse the Divine because they were to witness the sufferings of Christ in Gethsemane.  God desires our sanctification, but we must avoid the vice of impurity which captures more souls than any other.  We must take this lessen to heart if we wish one day to see the triumph prefigured by the Transfiguration.
