Seven Sorrows Of The Blessed Virgin Mary 2025
We should be familiar with all seven of the great sorrows of the Virgin Mary’s life.  In the devotion to the Sorrowful Mother, we see Our Lady in all her bravery and strength, yet still possessing the tender love of a mother.  She is Mother of Priests because, although she was not a priest herself, she teaches and guides all priests.  Our Lady is repelled by the empty sentimentality of those who favor the appearances of holiness over true sanctity.  From her Immaculate Conception, the Blessed Mother was filled with all grace and virtue.  She was so united with Christ in His sufferings that it was only by a miracle that her life was sustained through her Divine Son’s Passion.  She was capable of feeling pain far more profoundly because she loved more deeply than anyone else is capable.  Every time we pray the Hail Mary, we are asking the Blessed Mother to apply the merits of Our Lord’s Passion to us, so we may have final perseverance at the end of our lives.

Hail Mary, Full of Love

August 15, 2025By

Feast of the Assumption 2025
In the Epistle for today’s feast, the applied sense of Scripture is used to connect Judith’s conquest over the prince of the Hebrew’s enemies in the Old Testament to the Blessed Virgin Mary’s victory over the Prince of Darkness.  The passive word Assumption is used to express the direct action of the Trinity on Our Lady in bringing her, body and soul, into Heaven.  One can only imagine the great joy in Heaven at the entrance of its Queen.  In the Hail Mary we are meant to greet the Holy Virgin with fervor and love.  Divine Charity, which we possess in Sanctifying Grace, far surpasses the greatest and most noble of human love.  The intensity of this Divine Love in the Blessed Mother is unimaginable, and it transformed even her smallest works into actions warranting the greatest merit.  What our Savior desires most from us is that we love Him in return.

In Honor of the Impossible

March 25, 2025By

Feast of The Annunciation 2025
One could argue that this is the greatest of all the feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  Sin never touched Our Lady, yet no one ever suspected how holy she truly was due to her great humility.  The Angel Gabriel offered God’s invitation, not His command, to the Virgin Mary to become the Divine Mother.  How can we have hope in these darkest days?  Our confidence is sustained knowing that nothing is impossible with God.  This is the day on which Our Lord became a priest, because from the moment of His Incarnation He possessed the office of Mediator between God and man.  The Author of Grace comes to humanity through the Blessed Mother and, as the Mediatrix of All Graces, all the graces bestowed on us come through her too.  We were created to manifest the glory of God by freely choosing to love honor and serve Him, with the help of His Most Holy Mother.

Hope In The Darkness

Christmas Midnight Mass 2024
This is the day for which we have been preparing for so long.  This Mass is one of the three Masses of Christmas, because one Mass is not enough for this great feast.  The first Mass is particularly special, because it has been believed from the earliest days of the Church that Our Lord was born at Midnight.  The first Mass remembers the eternal generation of the Son from the Father – His birth in eternity.  The Mass at Dawn commemorates the birth of Christ in time.  The Third Mass celebrates the birth of Christ in the hearts of mankind.  This Mass dispels the darkness of the world, of the devil, and of sin.  Our Lord is the Light of the World, and He is the sole path to salvation.

The Dogmas of Christmas

December 20, 2024By

Christmas Conference 2024
In a moment in time the Word assumed a human nature and from then on, He was completely God and completely man and will be so for all eternity.  This feast of Christmas also includes the doctrine of the Virgin Birth.  The Blessed Mother was virgin before, during, and after the birth of Christ.  This miracle foreshadowed the Resurrection, in which Christ passed through His tomb while leaving it shut.

The reason why the Son became man was first to honor His Father, and only secondarily for the salvation of mankind.  All things were made as an expression of His goodness, and all mankind was made for God first.  God became a Father in a new way on Christmas, because it was only then that He became Father in the flesh.  Our Lord came to dwell forever in our hearts as the King of Peace.  This is a feast of hope which offers a foretaste of the final victory at the end of time.  The three Masses of Christmas focus, first on the eternal birth of the Son from the Father, then the birth of the Word in the Flesh, and finally the birth of the Word in men’s hearts.  Christ appeared as a helpless child, and all are drawn to the innocence and purity of an infant.  It teaches each one of us to become like little children so we might enter the kingdom of Heaven.

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.

God’s Promises Accomplished

July 5, 2024By

Conference on 1st Friday July 2024
In St. Paul’s instruction to the young bishop, St. Timothy, he emphasized the importance of spiritual reading.  If this instruction is given to a bishop, it applies all the more so to the laity.  Prayer and spiritual reading are necessary for the growth of sanctity.

St. Anthony Mary Zaccaria became a physician in his early life but soon discovered that his calling was not to heal men’s bodies but their souls.  He dedicated his life to the assistance of the dying and the welfare of children, and his great love of the Holy Eucharist led to his institution of the 40 Hours Devotion.

In gratitude for the victory over the forces of Free Masonry, Pope Pius IX elevated the feast of the Visitation.  There were two annunciations in preparation for the coming of the Redeemer – the annunciation of the birth of St. John the Baptist and that of Our Lord.  St. John the Baptist was the herald of Our Lord not only in his words, but in his life.  In the Visitation we see the great love of the Blessed Mother, who cares for even our smallest needs.
