Have We Rejected the Invitation?

June 22, 2025By

2nd Sunday after Pentecost 2025
The so-called “Theology of the Body” is contrary to the Churches teaching.  We know from Our Lord’s own words that there will be no marriage in Heaven.  During the summer we must remember that are bodies are temples of the Holy Ghost, and we must practice modesty.
The priest wears the liturgical color of green because this season is full of hope.  There is a great feast set for us, but it is up to us to partake.  God generously invites us but if we are “too busy” then He will invite those more worthy.  When witnessing the devotion of those who have recently discover the Latin Mass, we should ask ourselves if we appreciate it as they do. The Holy Eucharist and the Sacred Heart are the great antidotes to tepidity.

In The Presence Of The Trinity

June 15, 2025By

Trinity Sunday 2025
When we recall the words of Christ, “I have come to do the Will of My Father,” we need only look at the crucifix to see the love God the Father has for us.  He was willing to sacrifice His Son to save us.  We are privileged to know about the mystery of the Holy Trinity, which we could not know without God revealing it to us.  Although most of the Bible does not speak of it directly, belief in this dogma has been handed down through Sacred Tradition.  This mystery was revealed to us because we are meant to live every day in the presence of the Trinity, constantly contemplating Him dwelling within our souls.  We cannot reason to the existence of the Holy Trinity, because it requires faith.  It is only after making this act of faith that we can express our love for our Triune God.

The Birthday of the Church

June 8, 2025By

Pentecost Sunday 2025
The Holy Ghost is often referred to as the “forgotten Person of the Trinity.”  However, without Him we would have no Church.  When Our Lord died on the Cross all the merits He won remained within Him, and it was only when He opened the gates of Heaven that all those merits could be shared with us.  All that He won is dispensed to us during the visible reign of the Holy Spirit.  Today the Church made its first physical appearance in the world.  The Apostles gathered with the Virgin Mary in the Upper Room, where the first Mass had been offered, and prayed for nine days in preparation for the coming of the Holy Ghost.  A miraculous wind drew crowds of thousands to the very first church.  The appearance of the tongues of fire expressed the consuming fire of God’s love.  The ultimate gift of the Holy Ghost is for each of us to be filled with the very love God has for Himself.

The Best Gift for His Mother

December 6, 2024By

First Friday, December 2024
Conference on Grace and The Immaculate Conception – When we speak of perfect passive conception, we refer to the moment in which the product of active conception is infused with a soul and becomes a human person.  From this moment of perfect passive conception, the Virgin Mary was redeemed in a preservative, not a liberative, manner.  The Blessed Mother from this point possessed a greater union with God than all the angels and saints.  Our Lady was not only free from the guilt of Original Sin, but also the concupiscence of the flesh, of the eyes, and the pride of life.  By a divine ligature, she was unable to consent to even the slightest imperfections.

Sanctifying Grace is a created share in the supernatural life of God.  When God breathed human life into Adam, He breathed a share of divine life into him as well.  Grace must be valued above all things.  We must be willing to live and die to preserve it.  The Blessed Mother was given the plenitude of grace in preparation for her role as the Mother of God, as well as Mother to each one of us.

For Those Who Have Lost Their Way

September 6, 2024By

1st Friday Conference September 2024
St. Tarcisius lived during the days of great persecution.  He was ordained an acolyte or deacon as a young man, and was commissioned to care for the Christian prisoners.  While bringing Viaticum to these captives, St. Tarcisius was accosted by a group of pagans.  He gave his life rather than expose the Holy Eucharist to desecration.

Devotion to the Holy Infant of Prague is loved and honored by Our Lord Himself.  Our Lord is not a child now, but this is the humble state in which He first appeared in the world.  The statue depicts the Holy Infant as both God and Man, as well as King of all creation.  His welcoming gentleness seems to radiate out from the Infant Jesus of Prague.  He makes Himself a guide to all those who have lost their way.

Much is said about the accomplishments of St. Pius X, but not enough about his interior life.  His prayer had reached the heights of contemplation and was directed by the Holy Ghost.  He radiated goodness and wanted to comfort everybody, yet fought unwaveringly against the enemies of his spiritual children.

His Will Be Done

August 25, 2024By

14th Sunday after Pentecost 2024
Those souls who are advanced in the spiritual life begin to experience the sweetness and joy of virtue in the Fruits of the Holy Ghost.  It is difficult to live a life of virtue when one first begins his journey, but it becomes easier the more one progresses.  The Gospel for this Mass is meant to reassure the faithful that, in His divine providence, God will provide all we need for the future.  Our anxiety is dispelled when we remember that even the difficulties and trials of our life come from the hand of God for the sake of sanctifying our souls.

A Share In His Strength

August 4, 2024By

11th Sunday after Pentecost 2024
Confirmation Sunday August 2024 – In Confirmation one receives a character, an increase of sanctifying grace, as well as special sacramental grace.  Through this sacrament we receive a greater share in Christ’s strength and victory on the cross.  Those confirmed are now adults in the Faith and are enabled to defend the Church publicly.  Confirmation is known as the Sacrament of the Holy Ghost because through it we are given a perfection of His seven gifts.  The Holy Ghost is the Person of Love and, if we pray for it, He will give us a share of the bond of union which exists among the Persons of the Trinity.

The Gift of Wisdom

July 7, 2024By

7th Sunday after Pentecost 2024
The readings for today’s Mass teach us about the seventh Gift of the Holy Ghost – wisdom.  Our Lord has warned us that our path will be difficult, but He has also assured us of His help.  Parents must combat the pagan principles being instilled in their children.  Even within those of the elderly population, who should be wiser, we find misplaced priorities and worldly ambition.  We must be willing to make sacrifices to reach Heaven, as we remain vigilant in avoiding false guides. We must never do the work of God for ourselves.

Trinity In Unity

May 26, 2024By

Trinity Sunday 2024
Today we honor the dogma at the heart of our Catholic Faith.  God, through His Divine Son, chose to reveal the truth of the Holy Trinity to mankind.  Although we could never reason to the existence of this great doctrine on our own, nor can we completely understand it in our finite minds, we firmly believe it through the gift of faith.  We should recite the Athanasian Creed to reaffirm our faith in opposition to those who deny it.  We must believe everything that Christ has revealed to us and be prepared at every moment to defend it.

Where Are The Martyrs?

May 19, 2024By

Pentecost Sunday 2024
Pentecost is called the birthday of the Catholic Church because, although it was conceived on the Cross, this is the first day the Church manifested herself in the world.  Not only every human being, but all nations and governments are called to convert to Christ.  True Catholics reject the false tenets of religious indifferentism.  The Holy Ghost expresses God’s love for us because He is the Person of Love.  In these days when there is such great cowardice within the Church, we pray for the virtue of fortitude to help us persevere in the face of adversity.  The Holy Ghost will provide us with the strength of the saints and martyrs.
