All Is Fulfilled

July 1, 2015By

Feast of The Precious Blood 2015
When Christ said the words, “It is consummated,” He expressed the fact that His entire life on Earth had led to this one moment in which all was fulfilled.  The culmination of His mission was the Redemption of the human race.  The devil never tempts a soul as much as at the moment when a man is dying.  This is why we constantly pray for final perseverance.  Christ died with full knowledge and full control of His senses.  The feast was instituted by Pope Pius IX in response to the attacks of Freemasonry.  This is a feast for our times, because we fight the same enemy today.

Upon The Rock

June 29, 2015By

Feast of Saints Peter and Paul 2015
As Roman Catholics, our home is Rome because it is the symbol of the Eternal City.  St. Leo the Great tells us that God did not want the story of the murderous Romulus and Remus to remain the foundation of the city that people remember, but God would send two other brothers who were bound together in their love of God – Saints Peter and Paul.  This is the day that we celebrate these two brothers in Christ becoming perfect Christians through the shedding of their blood.  It is truly amazing that we know so much about these two men who lived so long ago.  St. Peter’s great heart was the essential aspect of his character that Christ loved so much.  We must possess the same confidence that St. Peter showed in the face of adversity.

St. Aloysius Gonzaga

June 21, 2015By

4th Sunday after Pentecost 2015
St. Aloysius Gonzaga was seen in a vision to be numbered among the highest saints in Heaven.  Many eyewitnesses of his life stated that they had never seen such piety in any youth as they saw in this saint, whose purity of speech and conduct was beyond reproach.  After joining the Jesuits, he always desired to be considered the least of his brothers and sought the most menial tasks.  He is a model of piety, devotion, and purity for all Catholics.

Mercy And Humility

June 14, 2015By

Sermon From
3rd Sunday After Pentecost 2015
The mercy of God is a mystery like the Holy Eucharist.  We need mercy to be saved because of our sins and we need humility so we recognize our need and ask for divine help.  Instead of being humble like the dirt we are more like the devil in our pride and refusal to pray.  God blesses us with old age so we learn eventually that we are stupid and weak.  Slowly, in the face of death, we learn to beg for heavenly grace, forgiveness and aid in obtaining heaven.  From a battlefield hospital and from a death row cell we hear stories of how the power of prayer, especially to the Blessed Mother, can turn the unrepentant from damnation to salvation.

Love Him In Return

June 12, 2015By

Feast of the Sacred Heart 2015
“To have Christ dwelling through faith in your heart” refers to the abiding presence of the Divine Person of Christ in our souls while in the state of grace.  When St. Paul speaks of knowing God’s love, he does not simply refer to an intellectual knowledge, but rather a direct, immediate experience of the love of God, just as the great saints experienced.  This feast of the Sacred Heart was requested directly by Our Lord, and no man is free to ignore this devotion.  The original sketch of the Sacred Heart shows a great wound inside of which is written the word “caritas” – “love”.  This devotion was reserved for a time when the world had grown cold in its love that it might gain favor through the revelation of Our Lord’s Sacred Heart.

The Food of Christian Souls

June 4, 2015By

The Feast of Corpus Christi 2015
There have been innumerable Eucharistic miracles throughout the history of the Church.  In this greatest of all the sacraments, Our Lord is contained, offered, and received.  The priest speaks in the person of Christ when he says, “This is My Body.”  After transubstantiation takes place, the priest holds in his hand the Author of Creation.  We should look at the Host at the elevation and adore our God.  Christ desired to come in the manner of food because He wished to be united with us in such a way that it is as if we are essentially one.  Although Christ is alive, He comes to us in the state of death.  Sacramentally there is renewed Christ’s sacrifice in the Holy Eucharist, so our sufferings may be identified with His.

Mutual Charity

May 17, 2015By

Sunday after Ascension 2015
We are given great comfort from the Introit of this Mass, “the Lord is my life and my salvation, whom shall I fear?”  We know that everything that happens to us was all part of God’s plan.  Our Lord is no longer present on Earth in the same way He was before the Ascension.  Although the Apostles felt desolate when Christ left them, they remained in constant prayer.  St. Peter tells us not only to be prudent and watchful, but to show constant charity towards our neighbor.  It is the practice of the spiritual and corporal works of mercy which has won innumerable converts.

Help Us Do Our Duty

May 10, 2015By

5th Sunday after Easter 2015
The Oration of this Mass asks that God bless all those who are humble and to teach us how to think correctly.  We must be humble if we wish to correct our lives.  Humility allows us to hear corrections and take them to heart.  This Epistle was written by the cousin and friend of Our Lord, St. James.  Even the enemies recognized the holiness of this saint.  St. James tells us that we need more than faith alone to be saved and instructs us on the importance of honesty.  The most common vice contrary to honesty, is dishonesty to oneself.  Every time we sin, we tell ourselves a lie.  We must do our duty to be saved.

Distinguishing Truth From Error

May 3, 2015By

4th Sunday after Easter 2015
Why is the month of May dedicated to the Blessed Mother?  The practice began by the efforts of a Jesuit priest of the 18th century in Rome, who dedicated the youth of his time to the Virgin Mary.  By devoutly reciting the Rosary during this month we will remain under her protection as well.  The instruction of this Epistle urges the practice of the great virtue of patience to combat unjust anger.  The virtues and gifts of the Holy Ghost which we possess allow us to hear the word of God and to recognize the false teachings of the world.  We want to express our faith in the Resurrection and assert our trust.

The Christian Worker

May 1, 2015By

1st Friday Conference May 2015 (Part 2)
Why did Christ choose to be the Son of a worker?  St. Joseph’s vocation represents someone who changes the world, because in using the materials of the world he symbolically transforms it.  A Catholic should be familiar with the definition of Capitalism, Social Darwinism, Prosperity Theology, Fascism, Socialism, Marxism, and Existentialism.  The true Christian view stands opposed to these philosophies, because it teaches that man is judged not simply by his work but by the quality of his character.  Even small works have value if they are done with great love for God.  “Whatever you do in word or work, do all in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ.”
