22nd Sunday After Pentecost 2021 Still in the month of the Holy Rosary, we are reminded of the 15 Promises Our Lady made concerning those who recite it. The Mass texts today emphasize prayer which is essential as we approach the day of the Lord, whether in the particular or general judgments. Equipped in this way we join in St. Paul’s joy while in chains. The Gospel shows Our Lord exposing the malice of His enemies who attempt to set a trap for Him about paying taxes to Caesar. Christ our King adds that we must render to God what is God’s. We must all practice fortitude by praying. #20211024M
21st Sunday After Pentecost 2021 Tomorrow is the feast of St. Luke the Evangelist and today is the feast of St. Margaret Mary the Apostle of the Sacred Heart. The Epistle for this Mass was written by St. Paul during his imprisonment and the armor of his jailers was a reminder to him of the defensive and offensive weapons that we have in our spiritual combat, not with natural forces but, with preternatural forces on high. Lucifer is the leader of these proud fallen demons who are the cause of most of our temptations. Sudden, disturbing, prideful, lying and divisive characteristics mark these attacks from the devil. The Gospel warns us to be merciful because we have received mercy. The Divine Maternity has an important attribute that honors Our Lady’s virginity before, during and after Christ’s birth. The Holy Rosary is our great means of sanctification. #20211017
19th Sunday After Pentecost 2021 Today is also the feast of the “greatest saint of modern times”, St. Therese. The Gospel for this Mass demonstrates the mercy and justice of God in the parable of the wedding feast. Those were punished for mistreating the messengers thus fulfilling God’s justice. God’s mercy was shown to those who were invited afterwards. The mercy and justice of God are understood as attributes of God which can only be spoken of in that way by analogy. #20211003B
1st Friday Conference, October 2021 This conference begins with a sobering account of the current problems with the validity of the sacraments because of the devil’s hatred of priests and the means of salvation. The story of today’s Saint Remy is encouraging in the face of this new paganism because this holy bishop baptized Clovis which began the life of the eldest daughter of the Church – France. This month is dedicated to the Holy Rosary and quotations about it from the saints encourage us to pray it devoutly. Finally, we recall our holy pope, St. Pius X, who enriched the Church and souls during his papacy. His love for God and neighbor was evident in his efforts to preserve the Faith pure and undefiled, to honor Our Lady as Co-Redemptrix, to emphasize the Liturgy, increase devotion to the Holy Eucharist, increase study of the Bible, restore Gregorian chant, revise the Code of Canon Law, reform the Breviary and much more. His sanctity was attested by conversions and miracles during his lifetime and during this canonization process. He is our strong protector and supporter today against the evil of modernism. #20211001
Feast Of St. Michael The Archangel Today’s new vestment is a beautiful depiction of St. Michael defeating the devil who rebelled against God. St. Michael received his name from his response to Lucifer’s challenge to the Blessed Trinity. The leader of the good angels asked “who is like God” (Quis ut Deus)? And that became his name Michael. On this day in the fifth century a church was dedicated to God in St. Michael’s honor and this feast celebrates that event and honors all the spirits called angels who are organized into nine choirs with different functions. We have prayers and devotions which honor St. Michael and the angels. He is the patron of many and one of our own was recently saved by invoking this protecting spirit. A powerful exorcism against the devil invokes St. Michael’s aid and the uplifting hymn from today’s breviary praises him. #20210929K
13th Sunday After Pentecost 2021 This Mass pleads that God will not forsake us, His poor lambs, and He answers that prayer saying “I will not leave you orphans” and sending us the Bread from heaven which contains all sweetness within It. St. Paul warns against those who would preach a false Gospel and he directs his converts to resist them. Our Lord teaches the necessity of thanksgiving through the story of the ten lepers. Today is also the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the special devotion for this month. Finally, a reminder to the young that they need not wait until they grow up to know what God wants them to do right now. Even as young people their importance is seen by the efforts of the evil one to destroy them. With God’s grace they will triumph and will become great saints. #20210822M
3rd Sunday After Pentecost 2021 This Mass and the recent feast days are about union with God, His Love and His Mercy. The earliest depiction of Our Lord in the catacombs is taken from today’s parable of the Shepherd carrying the lost sheep on His shoulders. This season after Pentecost is one of hope and shown by the liturgical color of green. The devil tries to discourage us and drag us into despair or inflate us with presumption. We must maintain our humility in the face of these diabolical attacks and will thereby receive mercy proportionately. Always have confidence in the Sacred Heart and never in the world. #20210613B
Feast Of The Sacred Heart of Jesus 2021 The beautiful Epistle for this Mass gives an insight into the love of God found in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The supernatural knowledge coming to us through this Heart changes our lives and makes us feel the ardor of divine charity. Our Lord revealed many of His secrets to St. Margaret Mary and his messages through her are meant to assure us of His tender loving care in the face of the coldness of the world around us. He told her that this revelation was the very last gift of His to a fallen world. Despite the wounds received, even from consecrated souls, Christ promises that His love will triumph. #20210611
Palm Sunday 2021 In response to a recent statement that the Virgin Mary’s title of Co-Redemptrix is “foolishness” we have this special message. It is a brief and powerful defense of our Blessed Mother’s title of Co-Redemptrix with a simple explanation of its meaning and how important it is for the Church’s prayer and life. #20210328
Feast Of Christ the King 2020 Pontius Pilate acted cowardly in today’s Gospel and what happened to him as a result is a good lesson for all of us. This feast was established by Pope Pius XI who saw the attacks against Our Lord as undermining the fabric of civilization also. This feast cries out to brave souls to defend Christ’s Kingship and restore society to the excellent footing it once had. #20201025
