A Prayerful Man

December 28, 2025By

Sunday within the Octave of Christmas 2025
It is believed that the angels sang the words “Gloria in Excelsis Deo,” and even sang the entire Gloria as we sing it today.  From the most ancient times, this beautiful hymn of praise has been sung to God.  We will never be able to understand how God could become one of His creatures.  If you want to accomplish anything in life, it must be through prayer.  St. Bonaventure taught us this lesson.  Every Catholic should appreciate how necessary it is to pray.  It is easy for us to love, and a heart of love is a heart of prayer.

Holy Anticipation

December 21, 2025By

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.

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.

The Attacks on God’s Church

November 30, 2025By

Sermon On The
1st Sunday of Advent 2025
Evil has existed in the world from the very beginning and within the Church since the time of the Apostles.  Throughout the ages, the devil has attempted time and again to attack and destroy the true Church.  In recent times, the Church was infiltrated by communists and freemasons.  The abuses introduced by the Second Vatican Council were in direct defiance of Pope St. Pius V’s Quo Primum and the perennial teaching and practice of Catholics.  The unprecedented crisis we find ourselves in today is a clear demonstration of the fruits of this council.  We should thank God often for what he has given us in these times of persecution.  We should look forward to receiving the Son of God on Christmas Day as Our Lady and St. Joseph desired to see Him before He entered the world.

Follow Truth in Adversity

November 23, 2025By

Sermon On The
Last Sunday after Pentecost 2025
Today concludes the time after Pentecost and the liturgy warns us about the frightful circumstances which will accompany the end of time and the signs which prefigure it. Every man who ever lived, whether they were in Heaven or Hell will face the General Judgment. The just will receive their glorified bodies and be carried to Heaven, while God’s enemies will receive hideous bodies which reflect their evil. We must abandon ourselves to God’s Will and seek to please Him in all we do.

In the face of the virulent attacks against the True Faith, we must remain strong and stand against the enemies of Christ as St. Athanasius did, who resisted the heretics of his day.

Am I Of The Truth?

October 26, 2025By

Feast of Christ the King 2025
The words of today’s Epistle are solemn and frightening. Our Lord expects to be believed, followed, and obeyed and those who refuse to do so, whether they be in the Church or civil society, will be punished severely. Life is not about pleasures and possessions; it is about Heaven and its obtainment.

In our shrine, we have a relic of the True Cross and of the nail which pierced Our Lord’s flesh. It is especially fitting on this day to venerate these sacred items.

It was 100 years ago when this feast was established to combat secularism and to spread Christ’s dominion throughout the world. Our Lord told us that all power in Heaven and on Earth has been given to Him, and that we are commanded to preach His Gospel to every creature. We must not be like those cowardly Catholics who cooperate with the enemies of Christ, but we must fight against and condemn all those who oppose the reign of our King.

The Birthday of the Church

June 8, 2025By

Pentecost Sunday 2025
The Holy Ghost is often referred to as the “forgotten Person of the Trinity.”  However, without Him we would have no Church.  When Our Lord died on the Cross all the merits He won remained within Him, and it was only when He opened the gates of Heaven that all those merits could be shared with us.  All that He won is dispensed to us during the visible reign of the Holy Spirit.  Today the Church made its first physical appearance in the world.  The Apostles gathered with the Virgin Mary in the Upper Room, where the first Mass had been offered, and prayed for nine days in preparation for the coming of the Holy Ghost.  A miraculous wind drew crowds of thousands to the very first church.  The appearance of the tongues of fire expressed the consuming fire of God’s love.  The ultimate gift of the Holy Ghost is for each of us to be filled with the very love God has for Himself.

Pray In My Name

May 25, 2025By

5th Sunday after Easter 2025

Although Memorial Day is a secular holiday, every Catholic should remember those who courageously gave their lives in service of our country and pray for them on that day.

This Mass commands us to pray in the name of Our Lord, and we fulfill this command through the liturgy.  We should pay special attention to the prayers of today’s Mass.  The maniple was not originally a vestment of the priest.  In ancient times, so many priests needed a handkerchief during the liturgy, because they were moved to tears, that the handkerchief became an official vestment.  St. James the Less reminds us to be a doer of the word, not a hearer only.  He was the cousin of Our Lord, and he is chosen to teach us the truths of the Faith during Paschaltide.  We remember this month that the Blessed Mother is Queen of Heaven and Earth, let us treat her as such.

The Support of the Church

May 18, 2025By

4th Sunday after Easter 2025

The Church would not be able to distribute its spiritual blessings to us without our support.  A Mass stipend is not a payment for the Mass, but merely a gesture of gratitude and a donation for the daily sustenance of the priest.

This week we recall the lives of Saints Bernadine of Siena and Rita of Cascia.  St. Bernadine fought tirelessly against the vice of gambling, as well as witchcraft and sins of impurity, while St. Rita lived a life of heroic virtue as a wife, mother, widow, and Augustinian nun.  She is the saint invoked for impossible causes.

In the Epistle for today’s Mass, St. James speaks of the source of our consolation and reminds us that we are the greatest creation of the Holy Trinity.  We must remain pure and meek as we cast out all evil from our lives.

The Holy Family Provides

January 12, 2025By

Feast of the Holy Family 2025
The Blessed Mother kept the mysteries of Our Lord’s life in her heart, and we should invoke her help whenever we meditate on those mysteries.  Holy Scripture shows St. Joseph to be the clear head of the Holy Family, not by his words but by his actions.  The event recorded in the Gospel took place when Christ was twelve years old, at the time when He became a “Son of the Law.”  By His words Christ makes it evident to the whole world that He knew He was God at every moment of His life.  St. Paul tells us in his Epistle the virtues of the Holy Family which we must imitate and use in examining our consciences.  The father is the head of the family and must be the example of the virtue of religion.  The mother is the heart of the family, who keeps all the spiritual and material needs of the children in her heart.  God has given us parents to assist us in attaining Heaven, and children are called to submit to their parents in holy obedience.  Nothing bad will ever happen to us but that which our loving Father allows.
