No Lasting City

Sermon On The
Last Sunday after Pentecost 2014
This is the last day of the liturgical year, which is given to us as a reminder that we do not have our permanent home here on Earth.  We are reminded to be thankful and to be prepared for our coming judgment.  We stand during the Gospel to remind us that we must always be prepared to fulfill the will of God expressed in those words.  We learn of everyone’s sins at the Last Judgment.  We have been given great hope and expectation of being saved and that Christ will bring us to Heaven, so we may see the Trinity and be enraptured in that vision for all eternity.

A Place Of Peace

November 3, 2014By

All Souls Day 2014
We remember in a special way the great priests who stood up against the corruption in the Church.  They were persecuted so we might have the Faith today.  We should pray with all our hearts and souls during this Mass.  Purgatory was not first created out of justice but out of love.  Our greatest obligation is not to obey God, but to love Him.  One great act of love can forgive our sins.  We love God freely, but we also owe God our love in justice.  If our love is tainted by pride and ego, it must be purified in Purgatory.

The Smile Of The Universe

November 1, 2014By

All Saints Day 2014
There are four marks of the true Church: One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic.  However, the most appealing mark is holiness.  The stories of the saints are innumerable and are a beacon of light to the world.  This is the feast which celebrates the holiness of the Church.  A saint is one who has practiced heroic virtue.  We must thank God for the saints and every detail of their lives.  We must be inspired by these great models of a holy life.  We must study how to reach Heaven.  Heaven is wide open today to offer us a vision of our goal.

Our Immovable Cross

September 14, 2014By

Sermon From The Feast Of
The Exultation of the Holy Cross 2014
The object which was deigned from all eternity to be the instrument of our redemption, an instrument of torture and death, is the holy sign venerated today.  The Cross of Christ should stand immovable in our souls.  On this day we celebrate the victory of the Cross over all the enemies of the Church.  St. Helena led an expedition to the Holy Land and miraculously discovered the True Cross.  History has shown that God will not be defeated.  The Sign of the Cross is a proclamation of our Faith.  It is through this sign of death that we are given life.

What Miracles Teach

August 24, 2014By

Sermon From The
11th Sunday after Pentecost 2014
✟Father Violette
Our Lord shows great mercy to us because He knows man’s nature so well.  God has given us great gifts of grace but because they remain invisible to us, He performed miracles to show what is taking place in souls.  God’s grace returns life to our souls just as Christ raised Lazarus from the dead.  When we have the Gospel preached to us, we must not twist it to suit our opinions.  We can only be perfect as our heavenly Father when we, as sons of God, cooperate with God’s Grace.

Heart Speaks To Heart

August 15, 2014By

Sermon From Feast Of The
Assumption 2014
The best material for prayer is the word of God found in Sacred Scripture and we are given ample aid for prayer in the texts of this Mass.  Judith is the perfect type of the Virgin Mary because it is the Mother of God who truly “cut off the head of the enemy.”  She has conquered the devil and sin and was raised above the rest of men from the moment of her Immaculate Conception as a preparation for the Incarnation.  Elizabeth was the first to recognize this young girl as the Mother of God.  The Assumption is the product of divine power, because it was her Divine Son Who brought His Mother to Heaven.

Fear And Encouragement

August 10, 2014By

Sermon From
9th Sunday after Pentecost 2014
We are given tremendous encouragements in this Mass.  Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and it is that fear which we are taught today.  Even as the elect, we can still be lost, but God is faithful and will not abandon us.  Just as Christ wept over the city of Jerusalem, we feel sorrow for those who have turned away from God and will endure His just punishments.  We are all soldiers of Christ who must remain strong and continue to pray for our enemies.

The Hallmark Of Christians

July 13, 2014By

Sermon On The
5th Sunday after Pentecost 2014
✟Father Violette
Our Savior, in taking a human nature, knows by experience the hearts of men.  The Old Law was imperfect because it was given to an imperfect people but God was eager to give the fulfillment of that Law in a new and perfect Law.  The main difference between the Old and New Covenant is the spirit of inclusion in the latter, through fraternal charity.  This charity comes from God Himself.  We must do good to those who persecute us and leave vengeance to God alone.

Our Prayer for Hope

July 6, 2014By

Sermon From The
4th Sunday after Pentecost 2014
It would be a serious sin if we had no desire to grow in holiness. We can increase in every virtue when we attend Mass, but especially in our hope. We should pray for an increase of hope, and the more we pray the more assurance we have of entering Heaven. We see in the Gospel for this Mass that St. Peter was rewarded for his obedience. Without a trustful hope in God, we can achieve nothing. We must ignore the teachings of the world and place our confidence in God alone.

Come To The Feast

June 22, 2014By

2nd Sunday after Pentecost 2014
This Sunday sets the tone for the rest of the year.  The liturgical color of this season after Pentecost is green, which represents hope.  The Mass is filled with all the tools necessary to make us saints.  Just as we read the Gospel account, we too receive invitations from God and we can choose to ignore them if we wish.  This Mass is for all of us: the poor, the lame, the blind.  We must have a great fear and a great love of the Holy Name.
