Assumption Evening 2017 The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is her ultimate triumph over the devil, sin and death. This is why the story of Judith is recounted in the Mass for this feastday. Our Lady was taken to heaven at the end of her life by the power of God and she reigns…
Assumption Day 2017
Through Our Lady’s Assumption God has empowered the Mother of God with extraordinary intercessory power which enables Our Lady at Fatima to promise salvation to those who embrace devotion to Her Immaculate Heart. The anticipated resurrection of the Blessed Mother is one of the reasons why She can assure heaven to Her devotees. The Immaculate Conception and the Blessed Virgin Mary’s fullness of grace and love are causes of Her Assumption. Her union with the Passion and Death of Her Son is a further reason for Her joining Him in His Resurrection and Ascension.

Feast Of St. Dominic – 1st Friday August 2017
St. Dominic travelled through southern France on a trip to Rome with his bishop in the 13th century and he was moved with compassion for the plight of the fallen away Catholics there who were deceived by an ancient heresy which had made a resurgence and was known as Catharism (or Albigensianism). St. Dominic besought the help of the Blessed Mother when his efforts were not successful and Our Lady told him to use Her Rosary as an aid to his preaching. This assured him success and has done the same throughout the centuries as seen at Lepanto and Belgrade, for examples. The Blessed Virgin Mary promised that someday She would save the world through the Rosary.

Fourth Sunday after Easter 2017
This Mass prepares us for the upcoming feasts of the Ascension and Pentecost when Our Lord returns to heaven and sends the Holy Ghost. This day is also a secular holiday in which we honor our mothers. Falling as it does during the month of May our thoughts naturally turn to our heavenly Mother and all that she has done for us. A tangible sign of this comes under her title of “Queen of Peace” which was added to her litany and soon afterwards led to her apparitions at Fatima and the end of the first World War.

Easter Sunday 2017
On Easter Sunday St. Paul tells us to purge out the old leaven and that Christ is our Passover. His rising from the dead still shocks and amazes the modern world as it did in His day. One of the purposes for Our Lord’s Resurrection is as an aid to believe all that He taught and gave us.  It also proves His victory over sin because He overcame its consequence, death. Easter is the glorious reward for Our Savior’s great work of sacrifice and includes all the merits He has won for us as well. We too will rise from the dead someday and go to heaven where God has prepared a place for us. We must have courage and enjoy this feast.

Good Friday 2017
Holy Mother the Church on Good Friday gathers around the Cross to witness the renewal of Christ’s sacrifice during the solemn liturgical action. This ceremony has the Passion according to St. John, the solemn collects, the adoration of the Cross and culminates with Holy Communion. Our Mother of Sorrows stands before us as the model so we might become like to Him in death, and in the hope that somehow we may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Friday in Passion Week 2017 – 1st Friday
The prophecy of Caiphas about the necessity of Christ’s death for the people is an example of how God’s word can even come from the mouth of His enemy. However, the Friday in Passion Week is especially dedicated to our Mother of Sorrows. Our Lady stood by the Cross of her Son and suffered with Him. The Blessed Mother is the example for true friends of Our Savior and she will make them be like her and her Son.

Feast Of The Annunciation 2017
The Son of God became a Man at the Annunciation and so began His priesthood as the mediator between God and men. At the same time, Our Lady became the Mother of God.  This could only take place because, as St. Gabriel the Archangel said, “nothing is impossible with God”. Virginity and Maternity were joined miraculously and the Blessed Mother lived a life of trust in God that made her magnanimous and munificent. Devotion and imitation of her will enable anyone to overcome any challenge in fulfilling God’s Will.

Feast Of St. Joseph 2017
St. Joseph was a holy man who fulfilled the law with devotion and heart-felt piety. He was chosen to be the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and to be the foster-father of the Son of God. In that capacity he was the image of God the Father. As the redemption depended on Our Lady’s “Fiat” at the Annunciaton so it was protected by her marriage to St. Joseph and his protection of her and the Holy Infant.
