Easter Vigil 2019
God created on the first day of the week at midnight, He was born at midnight and we keep vigil now waiting for His rising at midnight.  All the infinite merits of Christ’s Passion and Death were won on the Cross but only applied to us when He rose from the dead and now distributes these treasures through the Liturgy.  This vigil has us renew our baptismal vows and witness a Baptism.  All this prepares us for the Easter Mass when we offer our sacrifice with Christ and unite with Him in Holy Communion, the foretaste of heavenly glory.

Pledge Your Loyalty

April 18, 2019By

Holy Thursday 2019

St. Paul reminds us in the Epistle not to receive the Body of Christ unworthily.  It is a betrayal and a lie to use a sign of love as one of hatred the way Judas did with his kiss.  The Church interrupts her time of penance and sorrow to express her joy over the gifts of the Holy Eucharist, the Mass and sacred priesthood.  Christ thought these important enough to shed His Blood to give them to us.  We must love these precious treasures as much as possible and renew our love and dedication to them.

Sacrament Of Life

March 31, 2019By

Laetare Sunday 2019
After learning about the wonderful saints of this week, Francis of Paola, Isidore of Seville and Vincent Ferrer, the Epistle of St. Paul about the son of the slave girl and the heir of the free woman is explained.  Then the Gospel, which is the beginning of St. John’s famous sixth chapter about the Bread of Life, describes the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes by Our Lord and how His apostles shared in this miraculous power.  All this prefigures the Holy Eucharist and the power of transubstantiation which Christ would give to His priests.  Coming in the middle of Lent, this Sunday encourages us to persevere in our penances and to draw strength to do so from Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

19th Sunday after Pentecost 2018
The 19th Sunday after Pentecost reminds us not to neglect the divine invitation to the marriage feast and to come prepared wearing our wedding garment symbolizing grace.  Clothed as a new man we will put aside sin and follow the commandments.  Today is also the feast of St. Jerome, the translator of our missal texts and patron of Scripture study.  This then provided an opportunity to refute several attacks against Catholics concerning the Bible.

My Flesh Has Been Renewed

August 5, 2018By

11th Sunday after Pentecost 2018
The feasts for this week give cause for us to thank God and take strength in upholding the faith. This Mass for the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost recalls Our Lord’s Resurrection and the Easter sacraments of Baptism and Holy Eucharist. St. Paul lists all the witnesses to Christ’s Risen Body and the Gospel relates the story of the healing of the deaf and dumb man. The exact gestures and words of Jesus are repeated during the ceremonies for Baptism. All this leads to union with Our Lord in Holy Communion.

Our Sustenance and Protection

Corpus Christi 2018
In a certain sense, this day is the culmination of the liturgical year.  Our Lord had a mission in coming to Earth, and we accompany Him in that mission throughout the year.  We suffer with Our Lord in His Passion, we rise with Him on Easter, and we are lifted to Heaven at the Ascension.  As we progress on this journey, we are in great need of sustenance, and we find this food for our souls in the Holy Eucharist.  In imitation of Our Lord and His Apostles the bread and wine are consecrated and transformed into the Body and Blood of Christ.  The Precious Blood of our Redeemer was separated from His Body on the cross, and we relive that moment at the double consecration of the Holy Mass.  St. Juliana of Liège was inspired to begin the devotion of Corpus Christi, and, because of her influence, the feast of Corpus Christi was established by Pope Urban IV in 1264.  Let us proclaim before the whole world that we believe in the true presence of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar.

I Have Overcome The World

May 6, 2018By

Fifth Sunday after Easter 2018 – First Communion Sunday
The Church on this last Sunday after Easter recalls the great joy of the Resurrection.  The Epistle from St. James exhorts us to put the Faith into action and not be idle hearers of the word.  In the Gospel Our Lord instructs His apostles to pray to the Father in His Name.  The First Communicants for today were given their final preparations before receiving Our Lord.  They also learned about the Scapular and Miraculous Medal which they will receive after Mass.

Remember The Bells Of Joy

March 29, 2018By

Holy Thursday 2018
The bells of thanksgiving and joy are rung during the Gloria of this Mass which celebrates the birthday of the priesthood, the Mass, the Holy Eucharist and the Sacred Liturgy.  These gifts of love from the Sacred Heart of Jesus must be appreciated as the heavenly treasure and the pearl of great price.  We renew our oath of allegiance to promote, to defend and never to compromise what Our Lord gave us this night before He died.

Be Prepared To Enter Heaven

March 11, 2018By

Laetare Sunday 2018
At the midpoint of Lent we recall the greatest gift God has given after the Redemptive Incarnation – the Holy Eucharist.  The Gospel tells how Our Lord prepared the people for this Sacrament by the miracle of the loaves and fishes.  By reception of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ we are given the foretaste of heaven and so every Holy Communion is a preparation for our entrance there.
