Conference given on 1st Friday May 2024 Although some traditional Catholics refuse to celebrate the feast of St. Joseph the Worker, because they believe it is Communist in origin, the fact is that it is an example of the Church’s Christianization of something contrary to the Faith. There are many examples of this throughout the…
Confirmation Sunday 2024 The youth of our day are in the greatest need of the sacrament of Confirmation. The Holy Ghost gives an outpouring of strength and a unique participation in the share of Our Lord’s passion and death in this sacrament. In His weakness we receive our strength. The Gifts of the Holy Ghost…
Confirmation Saturday 2024 Confirmation marks a new outpouring of the graces of the Holy Ghost. At Baptism we are able to teach the Faith in our own name, but with Confirmation we are given a new strength and the ability to teach and defend the Faith in the name of the whole Church. In days…
Good Friday 2024 We do not have the Mass today because even though the Mass is the re-presentation of Our Lord’s death, it is also the reminder of His Resurrection. The Church avoids even the slightest hint of joy on this day. An infinite offense was offered to God and only an Infinite Being could…
Passion Sunday 2024 Saint Patrick stood for the true God against the pagans in Ireland. He threw down the idols of the druids and established the Catholic Church in what is now known as the Island of Saints. Saint Cyril of Jerusalem fought against the Arian heresy and was persecuted for it. His bravery and…
Ash Wednesday 2024 The Church reminds us of the fate that awaits all men. We are mortal and destined to return to dust. The sacramental of blessed ashes reminds us of our mortality and also the transient nature of worldly glory. From the triumphant Roman generals to the Byzantine emperors, a Memento Mori has been…
All Souls Day Evening 2023 Our bodies at the time of death are separated from our souls and undergo corruption. All the souls of the departed will hear the voice of the Son of God at the Last Judgment. It is an ancient practice, and one that is natural to man, to pray for the…
21st Sunday after Pentecost 2023 The martyrology, used in the Divine Office, is a great treasure of the Church. We belong to the Catholic Church, which alone possesses the mark of holiness. Not only was the Founder holy, being God Himself, but its truths and sacraments are holy and lead men to sanctity. We are…
First Friday October 2023 There have been many sacramentals in honor of the Blessed Virgin, but the Dominican Rosary seems to be favored above all others. The Rosary is the sign of a true Catholic. It is a beautiful prayer, but it is difficult and is often neglected because it requires effort. The Rosary is…
Feast of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus 2023 Investiture of Sister Rose Michael When the priest gives the habit of Mount Carmel, it is Christ Himself giving the habit and all the graces attached to it. God wishes that a person embrace religion willingly, without any external pressure. In poverty we place all our…
