Our Spiritual Food

2nd Sunday after Easter 2025
Good Shepherd Sunday – 1st Communion Sunday – Our Lord made it clear that He is the Good Shepherd Who guides and protects us, His helpless sheep.  It is only through His guidance, and the help of the priests whom He has chosen, that we are able to remain on the true path without straying.  As our Redeemer, He laid down His life for His sheep, and we should always be filled with gratitude for this greatest of all gifts.

In the Holy Eucharist, we are able to look at Jesus Christ.  He created this sacrament so that He would be received by all of us.  The most important time to pray is when Our Lord is present within us after Holy Communion, and we must always assist at Mass with reverence, attention, and devotion.  We should never lose our appreciation for the gift of receiving the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of the Son of God.

He Has Loved Us to Folly

April 18, 2025By

Good Friday 2025
This is the day on which we put our God to death, and when we sin, we attempt once more to destroy the God Who created us.  The prostration in this ceremony is an expression of our utter nothingness.  Friday was the day on which man was created, and so it is on this day he is redeemed.  God loved us from eternity – loved us to folly.  We are the perpetrators of the Passion, and yet Christ still gave us the grace to be sorry.  The Blessed Mother would have willingly died a million times for our sake, yet she was sustained through the unimaginable pain of soul she endured.  We hope that we might share in our Redeemer’s death today, so that, like the Good Thief, He might remember us also in His kingdom.  The Cross of Christ, along with all His sufferings, will be offered for all eternity to the Trinity for us.  Even if we were saints, we could not fathom how our God could love us in this way.

The Infinite Worshiper

April 17, 2025By

Holy Thursday 2025
Today we are celebrating the birthday of the Sacrifice of the Mass, the Holy Eucharist, and the priesthood.  We have been warned that we must learn from the sacred things we witness during this time, and it is incumbent upon us to call to mind the details of Our Lord’s life during these last days and moments before His death.  Christ explained to the Apostles at the Last Supper that the bread, wine, and lamb of the Passover meal are all one in Him.  For all priests all Thursdays are a day of retreat in commemoration of this great anniversary of the priesthood.  After the moment of the Incarnation all the prayers of the angels now pass through the Son of God made man.  First, He gave us Himself in the consecration of the bread, then in the consecration of the wine He gave us the Mass, and lastly, He instructed the Apostles to “do in like manner” and in these words He gave us the priesthood.  Today we continue the great feast of love practiced by the early Church and thank God for the birthday of the Eucharistic Christ.

Inebriated by His Blood

January 1, 2025By

Octave of Christmas 2025
This is the day on which Our Lord began to redeem us by shedding His Blood in the circumcision.  How many sins are committed at every moment?  Yet, the Precious Blood makes up for them infinitely.  How beautiful that our God still desires our love.  Today is also a feast for our Blessed Mother.  We can never do enough to show our love for her.  At the beginning of the new year, we rededicate ourselves to our God and His Mother and renew our promises to them.  The phrase Anno Domini was created so that every year would be measured from the most important day in history.  We must never forget that God created us to show forth His goodness and share with us his everlasting happiness in Heaven.

Many Hearts Shall Be Revealed

December 29, 2024By

Sunday within the Octave of Christmas 2024
St. Thomas Becket began as a worldly man in England. He was raised to the position of Lord Chancellor by his good friend King Henry II.  St. Thomas renounced his worldly way when he was made bishop, prioritizing the love of God over the approval of the king.  He maintained his loyalty to God even to the shedding of his own blood.

This day is bittersweet because the prophet Simeon foretold the response of both good and evil souls to the coming of the Messiah. We must remember that Christmas is not over yet. We are meant to spend special time this season with the Divine Infant.

Our Hope in His Blood

July 1, 2024By

Feast of the Precious Blood 2024
The devotion to the Most Precious Blood encompasses every aspect of our Faith, because it is through the merits of Christ’s Blood that all good things come to us.  The sacrifice of the Son of God surpasses all the sacrifices of mankind in every conceivable way.  Just as the Blood of Our Lord flowed from the wound in His side, the devotion to the Precious Blood flows from the devotion to the Sacred Heart.  In honoring the Sacred Heart, we honor Our Lord’s great love and mercy, while devotion to the Precious Blood pays homage to the fruit of that love in the Redemption.  Even our ability to give adequate thanksgiving to our Redeemer comes through the Eucharistic Body and Blood of the altar.  It is only in the infinite merits of the Precious Blood that we have hope for the future.

We Must Be Changed

March 29, 2024By

Good Friday 2024
We do not have the Mass today because even though the Mass is the re-presentation of Our Lord’s death, it is also the reminder of His Resurrection.  The Church avoids even the slightest hint of joy on this day.  An infinite offense was offered to God and only an Infinite Being could make up for it.  Why did Christ do this?  So that we would appreciate the evil of sin, and the great love of God.  We prostrate under the weight of our sins at the beginning of this ceremony, and we recite the solemn prayers in union with Christ on the Cross.  We must pray that today we remove all the obstacles we have placed in the way of God’s grace.

Where Joy and Sorrow Meet

February 2, 2024By

Feast of the Purification 2024
The candle is one of the great sacramentals of the Church.  It is like a sacrament in the sense that it is an outward sign, but unlike a sacrament, it does not give grace automatically.  This day links Our Lord and the Blessed Mother so closely.  Today we remember both the joyful mystery of the Rosary and the first of the Virgin Mary’s great sorrows.  Because the Mother of God was not affected by original sin, and because of the Virginal Birth, she was not subject to the law requiring purification.  However, she submitted to it in all humility.  God used the New Eve to carry the New Adam into the Garden, when the Blessed Mother carried Our Lord into the temple.

His Manifestation To All

January 14, 2024By

2nd Sunday after Epiphany 2024
The Magi had open minds and were seeking the truth.  They followed the star and received Christ into their hearts.  Unlike God’s revelation to the Magi or St. John the Baptist, the wedding feast was a manifestation of Christ’s divinity to everyone.  In the divine plan, God did not change His mind but made the miracle at Cana dependent on the Blessed Mother’s request.  The Virgin Mary was sensitive to the interests of the host of the feast, and her interest is carried over to each one of us.  The water turning into wine was a prefiguring of Transubstantiation.

Now God Has A Name

January 1, 2024By

Christmas Octave 2024
The saints of the Christmas season are St. Stephen, the model of resistance against unbelief, St. John, the Apostle against division within the Church, and the Holy Innocents, who are the models standing against corrupt governments.  Today is the feast of the Circumcision, which offers proof of the true humanity of Christ, because on this day He shed the first drops of His Precious Blood.  In participating in this ceremony of the Old Law, Christ was associated with us sinners, and will be for all eternity.  Today God was given a name that all could utter.  When we call upon the name of Jesus, we ask God to save our soul.  Today is also the Solemnity of Mary which proclaims the Virgin Birth.
