A Prayerful Man

December 28, 2025By

Sunday within the Octave of Christmas 2025
It is believed that the angels sang the words “Gloria in Excelsis Deo,” and even sang the entire Gloria as we sing it today.  From the most ancient times, this beautiful hymn of praise has been sung to God.  We will never be able to understand how God could become one of His creatures.  If you want to accomplish anything in life, it must be through prayer.  St. Bonaventure taught us this lesson.  Every Catholic should appreciate how necessary it is to pray.  It is easy for us to love, and a heart of love is a heart of prayer.

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.

The Spiritual Crusade

December 14, 2025By

3rd Sunday of Advent 2025
Gaudete Sunday – This day, which expresses a mitigated joy in the midst of suffering, has a more profound meaning for us now than ever before.  To suffer joyfully with Christ is truly what it means to be a Christian.  We have been given a wonderful example of this self-sacrificing love in Maria de la Luz who courageously stood against the enemies of the Church and willingly sacrificed her life for Our Lord.  In our current day, we must face persecution with the same steadfast spirit, and use every attack as a greater impetus to strive for sanctity.

Our Historical Moment

December 7, 2025By

Second Sunday of Advent 2025
St. Paul is our Apostle and his words in this Epistle are directed to us.  We can only remain hopeful if we do not rely on ourselves.  St. John the Baptist knew that Our Lord was the Messias.  He only sent his followers to question Christ to prove that fact to them.

We are witnessing a historical time in the Church.  The faithful are facing a heavy-handed tyranny which seeks to exterminate the traditional beliefs and practices of our Faith.  We must prioritize God above everything else in our life in this historical moment.  No one can separate us from the love of Christ and His Holy Mother.

The Attacks on God’s Church

November 30, 2025By

Sermon On The
1st Sunday of Advent 2025
Evil has existed in the world from the very beginning and within the Church since the time of the Apostles.  Throughout the ages, the devil has attempted time and again to attack and destroy the true Church.  In recent times, the Church was infiltrated by communists and freemasons.  The abuses introduced by the Second Vatican Council were in direct defiance of Pope St. Pius V’s Quo Primum and the perennial teaching and practice of Catholics.  The unprecedented crisis we find ourselves in today is a clear demonstration of the fruits of this council.  We should thank God often for what he has given us in these times of persecution.  We should look forward to receiving the Son of God on Christmas Day as Our Lady and St. Joseph desired to see Him before He entered the world.

Follow Truth in Adversity

November 23, 2025By

Sermon On The
Last Sunday after Pentecost 2025
Today concludes the time after Pentecost and the liturgy warns us about the frightful circumstances which will accompany the end of time and the signs which prefigure it. Every man who ever lived, whether they were in Heaven or Hell will face the General Judgment. The just will receive their glorified bodies and be carried to Heaven, while God’s enemies will receive hideous bodies which reflect their evil. We must abandon ourselves to God’s Will and seek to please Him in all we do.

In the face of the virulent attacks against the True Faith, we must remain strong and stand against the enemies of Christ as St. Athanasius did, who resisted the heretics of his day.

Prayer Is The Answer

November 9, 2025By

Dedication of the Basilica of Our Savior 2025

Pope St. Martin I is the pope for our times.  He chose to endure the greatest indignities and even martyrdom rather than compromise with the enemies of the Church.

Catholic parents will pay a heavy price if they do not train their children to pray for the Holy Souls in Purgatory.  Prayer is the remedy that we have all been prescribed.  “It is a good and wholesome thought to pray for the dead,” this is the instruction we receive right from God’s mouth.  Despite the title of “Co-redemptrix” being attacked, holy popes like St. Pius X promoted this appellation of the Blessed Mother without hesitation.  The Basilica of Our Savior was the very first church to be consecrated 1,701 years ago.  This church is considered the Mother Church of the world.  Every stone which makes up the church represents each practicing Catholic.  All the persecution which led to this day of triumph was worth it.

No Longer Slaves of the World

August 10, 2025By

9th Sunday after Pentecost 2025
When St. Lawrence was commanded to turn over all the treasures of the Church to the Roman rulers, the holy deacon brought all the poor among the Christian faithful before the Roman prefect. St. Lawrence desired to show them that the true treasures of the Church are to be found in the poor and humble. He was martyred by being burned alive, and his heroic endurance of this torture showed his complete union with Christ in prayer.

The theme of the Epistle for this Mass is conversion of life. St. Paul reminds the Corinthians not to fall back into sin, particularly sins of the flesh. He uses examples from the Old Testament to warn us about the punishments in store for those who turn away from God. Although, as Christians we remain ever hopeful, let us never presume we are safe in our spiritual life. Souls holier than we have fallen.

The Birthday of the Church

June 8, 2025By

Pentecost Sunday 2025
The Holy Ghost is often referred to as the “forgotten Person of the Trinity.”  However, without Him we would have no Church.  When Our Lord died on the Cross all the merits He won remained within Him, and it was only when He opened the gates of Heaven that all those merits could be shared with us.  All that He won is dispensed to us during the visible reign of the Holy Spirit.  Today the Church made its first physical appearance in the world.  The Apostles gathered with the Virgin Mary in the Upper Room, where the first Mass had been offered, and prayed for nine days in preparation for the coming of the Holy Ghost.  A miraculous wind drew crowds of thousands to the very first church.  The appearance of the tongues of fire expressed the consuming fire of God’s love.  The ultimate gift of the Holy Ghost is for each of us to be filled with the very love God has for Himself.

The Standard of Our King

April 13, 2025By

Palm Sunday 2025
Through the liturgy we relive the events of the past, we reap the benefits in the present, and we receive a foretaste and promise of the future. Our Lord allowed Himself to be honored as King on Palm Sunday so that the prophecy of Zacharias might be fulfilled, yet He still entered the Holy City in all humility. In union with the priest, we unite with Christ today in His triumphal march. We hold the blessed palms as a sign of Christ’s coming victory during the procession and, as the countless martyrs throughout history, we are united in His suffering during the reading of the Passion. We are called to carry the blessed palms into the world as the standard of our King, while we conduct our lives as living images of Our Lord.
