First Sunday of Advent 2023 On this first day of the liturgical year, we begin with a view of the end of time. It is a warning for the enemies of Christ. A day is coming when God will judge the nations. This is a Gospel of hope. “Christ loves us too much not to…
Last Sunday after Pentecost 2023 In this Epistle we are encouraged when St. Paul tells us that he never stops praying for us. Yet we can still be lost if we do not desire to follow God’s will for us. The greatest proof of union with God’s will is joy in adversity. How much we…
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…
All Souls Day 2023 The Mass of the dead is really the Mass of life. Virtually nobody prays for the dead, which is a great injustice.

All Saints Day 2023 St. John expresses God’s love and mercy for the Hebrews in today’s passage from the Apocalypse, but it is also a call for all men. Every man is called to be a saint. The origins of this feast go back to the beginning of time, because even the angels are included…
