Mother of God, Mother of Sorrows

March 25, 2026By

Feast The Annunciation 2026
Today is the most pivotal of Our Lady’s feasts.  The Immaculate Conception was only granted to her in light of this moment, and the Assumption and Queenship are a result of the moment when she became the Mother of God.  Eve, like King Achaz, trusted in her own designs rather than in God’s plan, while the Virgin Mary, model of humility, placed her trust entirely in her Lord.  While Eve immediately accepted the deceitful offer that she could be equal to God, the Virgin Mary hesitated in accepting her great dignity, mindful of her vow of virginity.  The long-awaited moment of the Incarnation was delayed for the sake of purity.  Today the joys of Christmas pierce through the Lenten season, but since this feast falls during Passiontide, we cannot help but see the consequences of the Blessed Mother’s acceptance – today, she also becomes the Mother of Sorrows.  We must give ourselves to God through His Mother as He gave Himself to us through her.

Our Comforter and Our Guide

Feast Of Saint Joseph 2026
The Child Jesus listened to St. Joseph, loved him, and called him “Father.”  This is what we are supposed to do.  We are commanded to go to St. Joseph.  We are at peace knowing that we are in his caring hands, and that he will keep us safe in times of temptation.  Although, St Joseph was not preserved from original sin, it is believed that he was sanctified in the womb, as St. John the Baptist, and lived a sinless life.  The experimental knowledge of Jesus Christ obtained in His life was taught to Him by St. Joseph.  The outstanding virtues of humility, poverty, and chastity possessed by this saint were beyond all reckoning.  We must never cease asking him to aid us in our duties.  How faithfully and unquestioningly he fulfilled the duties of his life.  He is our guide throughout our life and especially at the hour of our death.  Through his intercession, as Patron of the Dying, we may have a holy and happy death.

His First Offering

Feast of the Purification 2026
The season of Septuagesima gives us a reason to examine our consciences.  We learn that God created all things good, including man, but through the devil Adam fell, and sin was introduced to the world.  Grace will not work in us if our concupiscence remains untamed.

Because the womb of the Immaculate Mother was never opened and no blood was shed at the Nativity, she was exempt from the law of purification.  It was due to her humility and desire to be united with sinners that she underwent this ceremony.  When one becomes a parent, he or she is a caretaker of the child, but that child still belongs to God.  Parents are bound to love their children as God does, not to indulge their every desire.  This day the Virgin Mary became our Sorrowful Mother in anticipation of her suffering at the foot of the Cross.  Just as the Temple of old could not be entered without first offering sacrifice, we cannot enter Heaven without the sacrifice of Christ which opens its gates to us.

Septuagesima Sunday 2026
The season of Septuagesima begins roughly 70 days before Easter.  Through the Nativity season we witnessed the Son of God physically and literally come to Earth to save His children.  Now, God will lift us up by His divine power.  We have the privilege to reform our lives; we have the ability to become holy.  It is a struggle we must all pass through to reach Heaven.  Our God already won the prize which St. Paul refers to, yet we must still run the race on the road to Heaven.  We are called to change this season.  The lukewarm will become fervent, the fervent will become perfect, the perfect will begin to practice heroic virtue.

The Holy Name Of Jesus 2026
This entire month of January is dedicated to the Holy Name of Jesus, and it is a beautiful practice to recite the Litany of the Holy Name after the Rosary during this Month.  Although the Rosary is simple, it is meant to lead us to contemplative prayer.

While we live in an antichrist world filled with consumerism and paganism, we should kiss the crucifix and call on the Holy Name of our Savior.  Unlike the Chosen People of old, we are given the privilege to call on the Holy Name of God whenever we wish.  St. Thomas Moore teaches us the importance of following a true conscience in the face of persecution.  He prayed that his persecutors would join him in Heaven one day, and echoed the words of Christ: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

Christmas Morning 2025
Holy Mother Church celebrates three unique Masses on this day to relive the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  The Mass at Midnight expresses the Son being begotten from all eternity from the Father.  The Mass at Dawn emphasizes the temporal birth of our incarnate Lord.  The Mass celebrated this morning calls to mind the spiritual birth of Christ in each of our individual souls.  How blessed we are to have been given the True Faith in its entirety.  The Gospel for this Mass is taken from the beginning of St. John’s Gospel.  We read that the Word was in the beginning with God and that the Word is God.  Today we tell Christ that we will live and die for Him.  The greatest of all gifts we have received is the divine life we possess in our souls. If we refuse to give up this gift, then we have already won.

Our First Look at the Face of God

Christmas Midnight Mass 2025
Surrounded by so many doubts and challenges, even those who believe in the great mystery of the Incarnation may be tempted to question if this is possible.  But it is the truth.  The Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, in a moment in time, took to Himself a human nature like ours.  For the first time God had a heart and was capable of loving us with love both human and divine.  He could now experience the emotions of sorrow and joy in a depth unimaginable.  When we come to church, we must always remember that we are here first to give, not to receive.  The profit we receive is only secondary and in proportion to our generosity.  Our Lord remains in the tabernacle as our Companion and to rescue us from the devil and his human agents on Earth.  Christmas is a foretaste of the final victory we will all enjoy at the end of time.

Holy Anticipation

Sermon on the 4th Sunday of Advent 2025
Although he is not commemorated when his feast falls on a Sunday, St. Thomas the Apostle is a great saint who should be remembered by all Catholics. Because of his doubt, we were all given a proof of the bodily Resurrection of Our Lord. To this day we repeat his beautiful words: “My Lord and my God!”
This day is all about sorrow for our sins and preparation of the coming of Christ. In the early years of the Church, the Christians would gather in the ancient St. Peter’s Basilica for a vigil Mass. We pray just as the early Catholics that we will remain as faithful as possible during these last days of preparation. After asking for forgiveness for our sins, with a contrite heart, we should not think of ourselves anymore but fix our attention on God alone.

Immaculate Conception 2025 – Evening Mass
The Epistle for this Mass was chosen by the Church for this day and applied to the Blessed Virgin Mary because she was so perfectly united to the Son of God in His Incarnation.  This sublime mystery is often misunderstood, but the true doctrine refers to her miraculous preservation from original sin from the moment of conception in the womb of St. Anne.  The devil has waged war against the offspring of Our Lady, as described in the book of the Apocalypse.  She was given the privilege of being preserved from sin in preparation for her great vocation as Mother of God and her intimate cooperation in our redemption.

Her Unique Redemption

December 8, 2025By

Sermon From The Feast Of The
Immaculate Conception 2025
We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have shown their loyalty, support, and love in the face of the attacks of the enemies of the Faith.

Pope Pius IX had said that declaring the dogma of the Immaculate Conception was one of the greatest moments of his life.  It was as if Our Lord Himself were speaking when this dogma was defined.  The Blessed Mother was redeemed in a more perfect way than the rest of mankind.  She was not liberated from sin but preserved from it.  Sanctifying grace is the greatest gift we have been given in this life, and the Virgin Mary possessed this gift from the first instant of her existence.  Though she was not under the curse of Adam and the punishment of death, she died in imitation of and in union with her Divine Son. The love of the Blessed Mother for her Son was sensitive and intense and we, who were given to her on Calvary, share in that love.
