Non Sum Dignus

January 21, 2024By

3rd Sunday after Epiphany 2024
St. Paul teaches us to be at peace with all men when it is possible.  Of course, there are times when peace is not possible, but for a good Catholic war is only for the sake of restoring the peace once again.  A person who is vengeful in his anger cannot claim to be a true Christian.  The centurion of the Gospel is a model for all Catholics.  He was compassionate, humble, but so confident and full of faith as to make the Son of God marvel.  We repeat the words of the centurion multiple times at every Mass so we may imitate his humility and confidence before receiving our Divine Lord.

Peace and Rest

December 24, 2023By

Vigil of Christmas 2023
Today the Church cries out, “We will have Him to rule over us!”  This Mass is like an early celebration of Christmas.  “Come Lord and Reign!” says the Alleluia verse.  According to St. Ignatius Martyr, the reason St. Joseph was betrothed to the Blessed Virgin Mary was to hide the miracle of her virginal conception from the devil, who was searching for the fulfillment of that prophecy.  Today we know that the Lord is coming, and tomorrow we will be with Him in the manger through the Holy Eucharist.

Sanctification Through The Liturgy

December 3, 2023By

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 share His sufferings and joys.”  The ordinary means of sanctification is the holy liturgy.  It conforms us to Christ.  It brings the mysteries of Christ to life on the altar.  In the season of Advent, we share in the preparation of all the patriarchs and prophets for Christ’s coming.

We Are Offered With Christ

October 15, 2023By

20th Sunday after Pentecost 2023
The three principal parts of the Mass are the Offertory, the Consecration, and the Communion of the Priest.  If we miss one of these parts, we have not assisted at Mass.  We are united to the sacrifice and are offered up with Christ.  The Mass is the purpose of creation, because it is the essence of religion and the greatest means of offering honor to God.  We are told to redeem the time we have lost.  We have the grace to make a conversion at any moment.  We need to pray fervently, because our salvation depends on it.

He Bought The World

Precious Blood 2023
This feast is the liturgical completion of Good Friday, the day when the Precious Blood was poured out for our salvation.  In these days when our holy Faith is in danger and under attack, we recall the great heritage of martyrs who shed their blood in imitation of Christ.  At the true Mass we have no doubt what takes place at the Consecration.  Christ’s death continues to the end of time and we are invited to be part of it.  If not for the Precious Blood no sins would be forgiven.

We Offer Infinite Glory

June 11, 2023By

2nd Sunday after Pentecost 2023
Today’s Gospel warns us against neglecting God.  If we put off His invitation to salvation through sin and vice, we will surely lose His invitation.  God instituted the feast of Corpus Christi right before this Sunday to remind us of the importance of the Blessed Sacrament.  This day is a second Corpus Christi in which we may offer ourselves in union with Christ.  Through the Holy Sacrifice we give God infinite glory. Without the spirit of poverty, chastity and obedience, we will not be saved.

Bringing Heaven To Earth

June 8, 2023By

Corpus Christi 2023
This feast was requested by God Himself so that the Blessed Sacrament might be honored not only as a sacrifice but also as the greatest of sacraments.  It is the reason for the other sacraments, It is the reason for the priesthood, and It is the cause of unity in the Mystical Body of Christ.  This feast is perfectly placed after the feast of the Blessed Trinity because it is the greatest means of achieving our last end in possession of the Blessed Trinity.  God placed in our hearts a desire to taste the Infinite, and in the Holy Eucharist we fulfill that desire.

In Se Propter Deum

May 21, 2023By

Sunday After Ascension 2023
First Communion Sunday – We hear about the supremacy of the virtue of charity in today’s Epistle.  It is an infused virtue which allows us to love God as He loves Himself. Many people are egocentric, and the only way they view their neighbor is by his usefulness.  Catholics know that our neighbors are either children of God or are called to be so.   Many people only look at God for what He might give them.  We may only ask for His help, but God asks for our hearts.  We love our neighbor in se propter Deum – in himself for God’s sake.

One Redeemer, One Priesthood

April 16, 2023By

Low Sunday 2023
50th Priestly Anniversary of Fr. Ward
We are here first to love and honor God, because this day is dedicated to thanking Him.  We thank God for sending us a holy priest, for the Church, and for her truth.  What better day to speak about the priesthood than the day on which we were given the sacrament of Penance.  The words of Our Lord, “you shall be holy because I am holy,” were said to everyone, but first of all to His priests.  It was Christ who said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of God.”  Priests are privileged to share in the royal lineage as Christ Himself.

The Fight for Salvation

March 19, 2023By

Laetare Sunday 2023
As we pass the middle of Lent, we are given this Sunday a spirit of joy.  The Holy Catholic Church is the new Jerusalem, and we, as the Church Militant, are called to fight for our salvation with the use of prayer and the sacraments.  There are no exceptions when it comes to accepting God’s Word and the articles of Faith.  In the miracle of this Gospel account, we see the figure of the Eucharist and Baptism in the multiplication of the loaves and fishes.
