Palm Sunday 2023 We are a liturgical people, and as we pray so we believe. Christ bridged the gap between God and man, and He gives us the vehicle through which we may bridge that gap back to Him, in the sacraments and sacramentals of the Church. Sacramentals are given by Christ through the Church, and the grace we receive is dependent upon our fervor. The palm gives us the victory; it gives us the strength to persevere towards Heaven. We should fight during these days to be as close to Our Lord as possible. #20230402M
Passion Sunday 2023 During the season of Passiontide, we are meant to die completely to the “old man.” Our conversion during Lent is now to be perfected during these last two weeks. We have not only given up our vices, but now even the spiritual consolations that we find in the saints, and the greatest consolation of the crucifix, are all veiled and removed from our view. We have been given the chance to close our eyes to the world and practice true recollection in our mediation on Christ’s sufferings. With the use of the Mass, we can amend all the shortcoming of our Lenten practices, and be truly united to the sacrifice of our Savior. #20230326B
6th Sunday After Pentecost 2022 This Sunday brings our minds back to the two great sacraments of Holy Week: Baptism and the Holy Eucharist. Through the former we are given life in the Mystical Body and by the latter that life is nourished and grows. Those who fall short in attempting to “walk in newness of life” have the example of the reparation of King David along with the conversions of so many saints. Just like those saints, we must use our falls to our advantage, being urged on with greater zeal to fight harder than ever. In doing so, our frailty becomes our strength, and our falls only propel us forward to our goal. #20220717B
Easter Sunday 2022 Lent has passed by quickly but we take away the lesson that the “Imitation of Christ” reiterates for us that we win heaven by work and suffering. With the Resurrection we share in the happiness of being with Our Lord once again. Christ has proved that He conquered sin by overcoming its consequence, death. As soon as He rose again He visited His Blessed Mother and later St. Mary Magdalen and all the others during His active Easter Sunday. We must not let the fervor and devotion that carried us the past forty days subside so that we are reduced to anything less than our spiritual enthusiasm today. We must build on what we have so to draw closer to our Risen Lord and Savior. #20220417K
Easter Vigil 2022 The Easter Vigil is the culmination of our Lenten retreat and especially for the catechumens who are baptized and who will receive their first Holy Communions at the Mass which follows. The Liturgy brings light to the darkness of the world of sin and sings the praise of Our Lord’s Paschal candle. Then we are reminded of the miracles around water in preparation for the blessing of the Easter and baptismal waters which lead to the baptism of our catechumens. The Mass of Christ’s triumphant Resurrection will end with our Easter communion and our union with the Risen Savior. The newest members of the Church now begin their lives as part of the faithful. #20220416M
Good Friday 2022 There is one thing that we know and can be certain about and that is that God became a Man and died on this day. From all eternity this was in the Divine Mind and the ultimate purpose for all creation. The Sacred Liturgy, in the absence of the Holy Mass today, re-presents the events on Calvary for us to share. We are imitating the early Christians by using the same liturgical rites as they did. When Our Lord died on the cross He made a special effort to direct and to entrust us to His own Mother. We honor and love her as the Co-Redemptrix and Mother of Sorrows because her Divine Son instructed us to do this. We must appreciate what our sins have done to Son and Mother and detest them by an immolation of our selfishness with Christ on the cross. #20220415S
Holy Thursday 2022 Today is a good day to remind everyone about how to receive Holy Communion properly. The Epistle is a warning from St. Paul that is timely because we live in a time of unprecedented sacrileges against Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. The Gospel describes the Mandatum when Christ washed the feet of His apostles. This was the first interruption of what was the last Passover meal. The second interruption near the end when when Our Lord gave His most precious gift just before His death – Himself in the Holy Eucharist. This is the supreme sacrament in the Church that everything revolves around. The Mass and priesthood which were instituted this night with the Holy Eucharist are essential to Its continuation to the end of time. All the problems which face us can and will be solved by God in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar. #20220414
Palm Sunday 2022 Our Lord’s triumphal procession into Jerusalem today was prophesied and predicted the role that the Gentiles would have in the new kingdom of Christ the King. This joy is seen in the powerful sacramental of the palms which are carried in procession. This festive mood soon changes to sadness in the Liturgy as the Passion is presented to us during the Mass. This all is a warning to each of us that we must beware lest we rejoice with Jesus only to join shortly thereafter in calling for His death as the people of His time did. We are guilty of such betrayal by our sins and a return to mediocrity after Easter. #20220410B
Septuagesima Sunday 2022 This is the beginning of the Septuagesima season as we transition from the joys of Christmas towards the sorrows of Holy Week and the glories of the Resurrection. The stational church for today is St. Lawrence outside the Walls which reminds us of the death we inherit from Adam and Eve because of the cemetery that is attached to this church. The Gloria and Alleluia are dropped from today’s Mass to re-enforce the realization of our fallen state. Parents should not imitate our first parents in exposing their children to dangers which can destroy God’s life in their souls. #20220213M
1st Friday Conference, October 2021 This conference begins with a sobering account of the current problems with the validity of the sacraments because of the devil’s hatred of priests and the means of salvation. The story of today’s Saint Remy is encouraging in the face of this new paganism because this holy bishop baptized Clovis which began the life of the eldest daughter of the Church – France. This month is dedicated to the Holy Rosary and quotations about it from the saints encourage us to pray it devoutly. Finally, we recall our holy pope, St. Pius X, who enriched the Church and souls during his papacy. His love for God and neighbor was evident in his efforts to preserve the Faith pure and undefiled, to honor Our Lady as Co-Redemptrix, to emphasize the Liturgy, increase devotion to the Holy Eucharist, increase study of the Bible, restore Gregorian chant, revise the Code of Canon Law, reform the Breviary and much more. His sanctity was attested by conversions and miracles during his lifetime and during this canonization process. He is our strong protector and supporter today against the evil of modernism. #20211001
