The Biblical Easter Celebration

April 12, 2026By

Low Sunday 2026
This week we are given the splendid examples of the saintly lives we should imitate in St. Hermenegild, Bl. Margaret of Castello, St. Justin Martyr, St. Benedict Joseph Labre, St. Magnus of Orkney, and St. Anicetus.  We should familiarize ourselves with the details of their lives.

The Apostles were so overjoyed to see Christ risen that they began to wonder if their own excitement was causing them to imagine His presence.  Our Lord asked for food, that He might prove His bodily resurrection.  For St. Mary Magdalen, it was enough to hear her Lord’s voice, but St. Thomas had to put His hand into Our Lord’s side in order to believe.

We reject the so-called “New Synodal Church,” along with its false Divine Mercy devotion.  The Divine Mercy image has no Sacred Heart and no wounds, and it was condemned by the pre-conciliar Church.  We Catholics celebrate the biblical account of what Christ did on this day.

Seeking God’s Mercy

March 8, 2026By

3rd Sunday in Lent 2026

In the breviary this week, we read about the patriarch Joseph.  He was mistreated by his brothers, yet he desired to offer his family forgiveness once he had become influential in Egypt.  We are also offered the example of the prodigal son, whose father longed for his return home.  St. Gregory chose this Mass for Lent because of the particular importance of seeking God’s mercy during this season.  We should have a desire to be as devout as possible during Lent and to allow our lives to be changed by the instructions we receive.  We must have true contrition when confessing our sins, which includes both the hatred of sin and the firm purpose of amendment.

Love for Our Enemy

January 25, 2026By

3rd Sunday after Epiphany 2026
Those who refuse to forgive the offenses they have received will not be heard when they ask God to have mercy on them.  Christ told us that we must love our neighbor as He has loved us.  We should not allow ourselves to become bitter but should have pity for, and even empathize with, those people of the world who are so lost and confused.  St. Paul tells us that we must feed our enemies, and if we are not able to do this materially, we must do so spiritually.  Those who live a good Catholic life experience the joy and peace of a good conscience and have a desire to bring that lasting peace and joy to their neighbor in the world.  Untold numberers of souls have been saved by Catholics who truly love their enemies.

Holy Anticipation

December 21, 2025By

Sermon on the 4th Sunday of Advent 2025
Although he is not commemorated when his feast falls on a Sunday, St. Thomas the Apostle is a great saint who should be remembered by all Catholics. Because of his doubt, we were all given a proof of the bodily Resurrection of Our Lord. To this day we repeat his beautiful words: “My Lord and my God!”
This day is all about sorrow for our sins and preparation of the coming of Christ. In the early years of the Church, the Christians would gather in the ancient St. Peter’s Basilica for a vigil Mass. We pray just as the early Catholics that we will remain as faithful as possible during these last days of preparation. After asking for forgiveness for our sins, with a contrite heart, we should not think of ourselves anymore but fix our attention on God alone.

Forgive Without Delay

November 2, 2025By

21st Sunday after Pentecost 2025
The servant in this Gospel owed more money than he could ever hope to repay.  We too are unable to pay our debts to Our Lord.  Through our own ability we cannot thank God and His Mother enough, nor can we make sufficient reparation for our sins.  We desire that God forgive us immediately, yet we hold a grudge against our neighbor.  We cannot forgive without God’s help.

The practice of mental prayer is essential for our salvation.  Vocal prayer and spiritual reading are great aids to the practice of mental prayer.  True prayer comes from both the mind and the heart.

The Doctrine of Indulgences

September 30, 2025By

Conference – September 2025

When we commit a sin, we accrue the debt of guilt as well as the debt of punishment.  The guilt may be removed through the sacrament of Penance or perfect contrition.  For those sins forgiven but not yet satisfied, God’s justice demands that the debt of punishment must be removed through the sufferings of Purgatory after death.  However, we may also remove this temporal punishment through the sacraments as well as the application of indulgences.  Indulgences are not an invention of the Church, but rather the application of the Power of the Keys.  An indulgence is the extra-sacramental removal of temporal punishment for sins already forgiven.  They are based on the economy of salvation, which includes the infinite merits of Our Lord’s sacrifice on the Cross, the superabundant merits of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the merits of the saints.  Plenary indulgences remit the entire debt of punishment, while partial indulgences remit only part of the temporal punishment due to sin.  The origin of the practice of indulgences demonstrates how close we are to one another and how we may assist our neighbor through our meritorious works.  How beautiful it is that we may bear each other’s burdens in this way.

Never Forget the Gifts You Receive

August 3, 2025By

8th Sunday After Pentecost 2025
The whole world is dependent on the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The merits of the death of Our Lord are being poured out around the world to this very day. We should always be prepared to make an answer to God for how we have chosen to spend the life He has given us. The unjust steward of the parable is praised by his master, not for his deception, but for his forethought and planning. If we were to preserve the spiritual riches we possess as those in the world protect their riches, we would surely save our souls. We should thank Our Lord daily for the spiritual and temporal gifts we have been given.

Baptized in His Death

July 20, 2025By

6th Sunday After Pentecost 2025
This beautiful Mass refers to us when it speaks of the faithful who have come to hear the word of God.  Our Lord has compassion on our weakness and provides us with the Bread of Life to sustain us.  The Body and Blood of Christ is only for the baptized who are united to Our Lord through grace.  We have a solemn duty to preserve sanctifying grace in our souls.  No longer are we under the slavery of the devil but rather true children of God.  Our Lord and His Mother demonstrate unbounded solicitude for our salvation.  Our Lord conquered death and sin by His Sacrifice on the Cross, and it is by that death that we are given life.

Slow To Anger

July 13, 2025By

5th Sunday After Pentecost 2025
We should read the account of the martyrdom of St. Speratus and his companions from the year A.D. 180, which recounts the uncompromising heroism of the faithful in the early Church.

Catholics should represent Heaven on Earth.  Most of the world has never heard of the State of Grace, yet we have been given the privilege of possessing it.  While we remain in Sanctifying Grace, we are intimately tied to the Trinity and are part of the army of Christ.

This Mass warns us against the sin of anger and how it first grows in our mind before it is expressed in action.  Holy Scripture has many warnings against the capital sin of anger.  However, anger is a passion and is meant to be used only for a good purpose.  As with all passions, the use of anger should be directed by prudence.

The Removal of All Doubt

April 27, 2025By

Low Sunday 2025
We must put out of our minds all distractions while we attend the Holy Mass, so that we may focus solely on the Son of God Who is sacrificing Himself before our very eyes.  When God was creating the cosmos, He had the future sacrifice of His Son in mind.  Everything the Son of God did was for love of His Father.  God permitted the sinful doubt of St. Thomas the Apostle to assist in the fulfillment of His plan.  We thank St. Thomas for his doubt because due to it, Our Lord proved His bodily resurrection and removed any doubt from our own hearts.  If any man sincerely looks for the truth and prays to God to help him find it, God will surely give it to Him.  Let us imitate the great saints and martyrs of the past in their desire for salvation and remove everything from our lives which stands between us and Heaven.
