Requiem Æternam

November 3, 2025By

All Souls Day Evening 2025
Although this is not a Holy Day of Obligation, faithful Catholics flock to the churches today so they may help the holy souls in Purgatory, who cannot help themselves.  Purgatory is a creation of love.  One must be perfect to enter Heaven, so God in His mercy gives souls a way to burn out the roots of their vices so they may freely receive their eternal reward.  This may be our very last All Souls’ Day Mass before we die.  The words “Requiem æternam done eis Domine” were found on the tombs of Christians of the third century.  The Church has adopted those words for this Mass.  We must take up the standard of the Catholics of years past and fervently pray for the dead.

Our Purgatory Now

November 3, 2025By

All Souls Day 2025
The Commemoration of the Faithful Departed is not only for the benefit of the Church Suffering, but also for the benefit of all living Catholics.  Throughout the liturgy of this Mass, we are reminded of our own future judgment and how we too may be in need of the prayers of the living.  We must always remember that God is both infinitely merciful and infinitely just, and that He will demand an account, not only of our sins, but even of our time wasted.  Today is our reminder that we too must die one day, and that we must use the time God has allotted to us for the removal of sin, and the punishment due to it, from our souls.

The Church’s Glorious Crown

November 1, 2025By

All Saints Day 2025
By instituting this Holy Day of Obligation, Pope Urban IV wished to supply for any deficiencies in the honor offered to the saints throughout the year.  Christ the King, Who has made all the saints, is celebrated immediately before the Church Triumphant.  This beautiful Mass is like entering the courts of Heaven.  The Epistle for this Mass is frightening, but those who strive to follow God throughout their lives have nothing to fear.  The eight beatitudes are the qualities of those who truly love Our Lord.  We have them inscribed on the walls of the chapel along with many statues of the saints to inspire and encourage us.  On this day, we participate in the Communion of Saints by praying to our friends in Heaven.  Our struggles in this life only last a moment, and they will be replaced by the rewards of a joyful eternity.

Am I Of The Truth?

October 26, 2025By

Feast of Christ the King 2025
The words of today’s Epistle are solemn and frightening. Our Lord expects to be believed, followed, and obeyed and those who refuse to do so, whether they be in the Church or civil society, will be punished severely. Life is not about pleasures and possessions; it is about Heaven and its obtainment.

In our shrine, we have a relic of the True Cross and of the nail which pierced Our Lord’s flesh. It is especially fitting on this day to venerate these sacred items.

It was 100 years ago when this feast was established to combat secularism and to spread Christ’s dominion throughout the world. Our Lord told us that all power in Heaven and on Earth has been given to Him, and that we are commanded to preach His Gospel to every creature. We must not be like those cowardly Catholics who cooperate with the enemies of Christ, but we must fight against and condemn all those who oppose the reign of our King.

Thou Art Just, O Lord

October 5, 2025By

Sermon From
17th Sunday After Pentecost 2025
The people of the world do not care for our eternal welfare.  If only one of us hears the message of Our Lord and takes it to heart, he will lift up everyone with him.  At this Mass we ask that God protect us from the defilements of the devil.  When we fall into sin the two consequences are guilt and punishment.  We are freed from guilt through the sacrament of Penance.  The debt of punishment may be removed through good works such as prayer, alms, fasting, as well as the indulgences granted by the Church.  We ask God to help us despise the things of this Earth, so we may rejoice in His heavenly gifts.  We must pray for the enemies of Christ especially during the month dedicated to the Holy Rosary.

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.

We Will Serve!

Feast of Saint Michael 2025
This feast was originally celebrated in honor of St. Michael and all the angels.  We do not know the details of the test given to the angels, but we know that St. Michael stood as “First Champion of the Kingdom of Christ” in opposition to Lucifer’s rebellion.  Today we remember the dedication of a place of worship.  How fitting this is for the Archangel who chose to serve God at His altar.  During the Requiem Mass, we call upon St. Michael to carry our souls to Heaven after death.  In the Epistle of this Mass, we are given a glimpse of Heaven and the future.  We are told that the angels serve as God’s messengers, but more importantly, they remain before Him, praising Him for all eternity.  In the final days, St Michael will wage a battle against the Antichrist.  The Prince of the Heavenly Hosts will cast the Dragon into Hell in the end.

Sursum Corda

September 28, 2025By

16th Sunday After Pentecost 2025

The autobiography of St. Thérèse is one of the most enjoyable books to read in our modern times.  Innumerable miracles have been granted to the faithful through her intercession.

In today’s Gospel, Our Lord tells us to sit in the lowest place at the table, not to win the honor of all present, but due to an honest estimation of what we deserve.  Those who live in humility here on Earth will one day obtain Heaven, the higher place at the table.  Although God and all the saints in Heaven want us to be saved, some will be lost because they lack the great desire necessary.  Heaven must be the one thing in life we desire.  Everything else is incidental.  This Sunday is all about our holiness of life, and if we make up our minds, we could begin to live a holy life starting now.  At every Mass we are called to lift up our hearts to Heaven, now is the hour for us to do so.

Members of His Body

August 31, 2025By

12th Sunday after Pentecost 2025
This is one of the most beautiful Sundays of the liturgical year.  Despite the glory of the Old Law, it is nothing compared to what we have in the New Testament.  We have the Blessed Sacrament, the Incarnate God here with us at all times.  Every baptized Catholic has the Holy Trinity dwelling within him.  While attending the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, we go back to Calvary.  In this Mass we pray that, through the grace of God, we may hurry towards the rewards God has promised us.  Let us pray often throughout the day that we may love God with our whole heart and soul, following the great examples of holiness like St. Raymond Nonnatus, St. Cuthbert, the Twelve Holy Brothers, and St. Stephen, Duke of Hungary.

The First Fruit of the Redemption

August 15, 2025By

Assumption Evening 2025
Judith of the Old Testament is a figure of the Blessed Virgin Mary who crushes the head of Satan and defeats sin.  In the Gospel, the Blessed Mother was early with child when she traveled to visit her cousin Elizabeth. With the infant Jesus only three days old in her womb, the Virgin Mary was affirmed by St. Elizabeth to be the Mother of God.  Tradition teaches us that when the Blessed Mother was near death, the Apostles were inspired to come to the place where she was to die.  Before the Apostles’ very eyes, she rose from the dead and was assumed into Heaven.  The Blessed Mother is the first fruit of the Redemption.  It was only in view of the coming Redemption that she was preserved from Original Sin.  Today is a true homecoming.  Heaven, not Earth, is our home, and we pray that Our Lady will lead us to that home one day.
