Walk In The Newness Of Life

April 5, 2026By

Easter Sunday Morning 2026
The entire liturgical year prepares us for this greatest of all feasts when the Church celebrates the triumph of its beloved Redeemer.  It is fitting that this day falls during the Spring, when all creation appears to be coming forth with new life.  It is because of Easter that Christians recognize the Lord’s Day as Sunday.  We place our joy in a work which is greater than that of creation itself, and we rest on Sunday to commemorate it.  All the faithful recognize the dogma of Christ’s bodily resurrection as the foundation of our Faith.  As St. Paul tells us, “If Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.”  The Apostles gave testimony to this fact by shedding their blood in defense of it.  Now that we have been buried with Christ and have risen in His new life, we must persevere in the practice of virtue and vigorously combat the temptation to return to the slavery of sin.  Like our risen Lord, may we die no more and forever walk in the newness of life.

We Thirst For The Water

April 4, 2026By

Easter Vigil 2026
We are a liturgical people and during this week we are living the liturgy at its highest level.  Throughout this ceremony we will be taught repeatedly about the mysteries and sacraments.  Unafraid, we go out into the darkness of the devil’s world and ignite the Light of Christ to shine through that darkness.  Holy Mother Church reminds us of the power of the light and the power of the waters.  Because of the doubt of Moses, he was not permitted to lead the people into the Promised Land.  The enemies of the Church cannot make us doubt.  The propaganda of the devil will not succeed.  When the water has been anointed it becomes Christ’s and, after we are sprinkled with His water, we renew the promises of our baptism.  Christ then comes to us in the greatest of the sacraments – the Holy Eucharist.  Tonight we thirst for His arrival.

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.

My Grace Is Sufficient For Thee

February 8, 2026By

Quinquagesima Sunday 2026

Catholics should familiarize themselves with the lives of great saints like St. John of Matha, St. Cyril of Alexandria, St. Apollonia, St. Scholastica, and St. Valentine.
The readings from the Divine Office over the last week teach us about Original Sin, while this week’s focus on Actual Sin.  This Sunday we are called to make an examination of conscience.  In today’s Epistle St. Paul is not boasting; he is simply establishing his credentials as a true Apostle and follower of Christ.  He was only able to accomplish these deeds by God’s help.  Our Lord always gives us sufficient graces to resist temptations as well as graces to call back those who have already fallen into sin.

Love for Our Enemy

January 25, 2026By

3rd Sunday after Epiphany 2026
Those who refuse to forgive the offenses they have received will not be heard when they ask God to have mercy on them.  Christ told us that we must love our neighbor as He has loved us.  We should not allow ourselves to become bitter but should have pity for, and even empathize with, those people of the world who are so lost and confused.  St. Paul tells us that we must feed our enemies, and if we are not able to do this materially, we must do so spiritually.  Those who live a good Catholic life experience the joy and peace of a good conscience and have a desire to bring that lasting peace and joy to their neighbor in the world.  Untold numberers of souls have been saved by Catholics who truly love their enemies.

The Eternal Wedding Feast

January 18, 2026By

2nd Sunday after Epiphany 2026

St. Agnes had many suitors who asked for her hand in marriage, but she desired to remain a perpetual virgin.  The governor said that if she did not submit to marriage, they would forcefully take her virginity.  But she replied that God would protect her, and so He did.  Virginity is a virtue that is particularly pleasing to God.

This Gospel is a perfect example of the Virgin Mary fulfilling her role as Mediatrix of All Graces.  Those who would deny her this role are enemies of God.  The miracle of turning water into wine is a promise of the Mass which would be instituted, in which wine is turned into Christ’s Blood.  The entire universe revolves around the Mass.  Here on the altar we have Heaven renewed.  Heaven will be the eternal Mass and the eternal wedding feast.

Implementing Our Resolutions

January 1, 2026By

Octave of the Nativity 2026

On this day the Church celebrates three feasts in one.  Firstly, the Octave Day of the Nativity which concludes the eight days of Christmas celebration.  Secondly, the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary which was established to combat the attacks on her Divine Maternity.  And lastly, the Circumcision of Our Lord, the moment in which Christ shed His first drops of Precious Blood for us and received the name of “Jesus” – “Savior.”

As we begin a new year, we must not give in to fear and anxiety about the future or discouragement for the mistakes of the past but make good use of the graces in the present.  By creating and implementing a plan for the changes we wish to make this year, we can lay the foundation upon which our spiritual life may flourish.

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.

Help for Our Neighbor

October 12, 2025By

18th Sunday after Pentecost 2025
During the reign of Pope St. Callistus I, the Church suffered her first schism led by the antipope Hippolytus.  However, years later, when Hippolytus was imprisoned with the true Pope St. Pontian, successor to St. Callistus I, he renounced his sin and was reconciled with the Church.  Hippolytus died a martyr beside the true pope and was canonized a saint.

There is a clear parallel to be drawn between the cure we see take place in today’s Gospel and that of the cripple at the pool of Bethsaida.  The friends of the paralytic would stop at nothing to help their companion while the man by the pool remained without assistance for 38 years.  This shows us how important we are to our neighbor and how we must rely on one another to reach our final reward.

Sursum Corda

September 28, 2025By

16th Sunday After Pentecost 2025

The autobiography of St. Thérèse is one of the most enjoyable books to read in our modern times.  Innumerable miracles have been granted to the faithful through her intercession.

In today’s Gospel, Our Lord tells us to sit in the lowest place at the table, not to win the honor of all present, but due to an honest estimation of what we deserve.  Those who live in humility here on Earth will one day obtain Heaven, the higher place at the table.  Although God and all the saints in Heaven want us to be saved, some will be lost because they lack the great desire necessary.  Heaven must be the one thing in life we desire.  Everything else is incidental.  This Sunday is all about our holiness of life, and if we make up our minds, we could begin to live a holy life starting now.  At every Mass we are called to lift up our hearts to Heaven, now is the hour for us to do so.
