How Can Sin Make Us Better?
3rd Sunday after Epiphany 2020
Today is a continuation of the beautiful time after the Epiphany when the God-Man is shown to us for our adoration and love. The Redemptive Incarnation is with the Trinity as the most important truth about God Who rules the cosmos, even as an Infant. The Epistle warns us not to be puffed up with pride but to be as the centurion in the Gospel who had great faith and humility. Our faults and sins should humble us and thereby make us better.

The Holy Family & Silent Prayer
Feast Of The Holy Family 2020
This feast celebrates the beautiful life that Jesus led in this world with His Holy Family. The Epistle gives us the foundation of the Holy Family’s life together which is charity – the bond of perfection. The Gospel teaches about Christ’s consciousness of His divine mission and how others observed His growth in wisdom, grace and age. The sermon concludes with a meditation on silent prayer and why it is essential at Mass.

A Renewal of Christmas
Sunday Within The Octave Of Christmas 2019
The eight days starting with Christmas are the daily celebration of the Incarnation and the Sunday within those days is a highlight of that. Despite all the propaganda, we should adhere to the Church Fathers, not only in upholding the dogmas surrounding this feast like the virgin birth, but other truths handed down to us like December 25 being the date of Christ’s birth. This Epistle recalls the dogmatic truths and the Gospel warns us, as the Blessed Mother, that her Infant Son will inspire persecution against Himself and His followers like the saints of Christmas. We already willingly stand with Him and pray to continue to be faithful.

Our Lady’s Fiat
Feast Of The Annunciation 2019
The Annunciation changed all of history as God became a Man this day. The fall of Adam and Eve was repaired by the archangel, St. Gabriel, asking the New Eve to become the Mother of God. Our Lady prophesied that all generations will call her blessed and we fulfill this prophecy with every Hail Mary. We should say the Angelus with devotion.

Follow Your Star
Feast Of The Epiphany 2019
The feast of the Epiphany is the manifestation of God made Man and seen in the Holy Infant by the Magi. The Magi were Gentile wise men who were familiar with Hebrew prophecies & recognized in a miraculous star the fulfillment of them in the coming of the Messiah. They had the generosity to follow the star to Bethlehem & be the first non-Jews to see and to adore Jesus Christ. Each of us is called to follow our own star of attraction which will lead us to Our Lord if we, also, are generous. It is never too late to follow your star.

Feast of Hope
Christmas 2018 MidnightÂ
Christmas brings joy to all the people of the world despite any attempts to thwart it. So along with the sorrows around us nothing prevents God dwelling among us. We hope in God that He will save us and exercise His Kingship in a society devoted to His Royal and Davidic line. The Mass texts re-enforce this through their own prayerful considerations.

God Enlightens Everyone
2nd Sunday of Advent
The Gospel for the Second Sunday of Advent needs explanation because, contrary to a superficial reading of the text, St. John is not doubting that Christ is the Messiah but St. John is directing his disciples away from himself and to the Savior. This Mass is one of sanctity and the importance of good will as we prepare for Christ’s coming at Christmas in our hearts. This week also has wonderful virgin-martyr saints that are models of imitation for us in their prayer life and the good instruction by their parents.

Our Nature’s Solitary Boast
Immaculate Conception 2018
The Proclamation of the dogma of today’s feast of the Immaculate Conception was done by Pope Pius IX in 1854. This prerogative is an absolutely supernatural gift to the Blessed Virgin Mary in light of the Passion and Death of her Divine Son and which created Her as a worthy vessel for the carrying of Christ as His Mother later in Her life. Her initial plenitude of grace was accompanied by the virtues and the gifts in the highest degree possible to equip her for God’s mission. God’s love produced this in her and the Blessed Mother reciprocated this love throughout her life.

Tap Into Her Heart
Feast Of The Annunciation 2018
This year the Annunciation is celebrated after Easter. Our feast recalls the moment when the ever Virgin Mary became the Mother of God. All the details of this Gospel account took place in her home which is known as the holiest place on earth. In penetrating this mystery from inside the Blessed Mother, we see how great was her virginal/maternal heart which was so generous, courageous, faithful, trusting and loving. We, especially the young, should reach into her heart and use these qualities on our road to heaven.
