I Am the Immaculate Conception

Sermon On The
Feast Of The Immaculate Conception 2013
It is important to know some of the prerogatives of this great privilege that was bestowed on the Blessed Mother in anticipation of the Incarnation.  From the first moment of her existence, the charity of the Virgin Mary, in her plenitude of grace, surpasses all human persons.  It is the great triumph over sin and the devil, fulfilling the words of God, “I will place enmity between you and the woman.”  This day is truly a day of conquest, because this singular gift granted to the Mother of God is one of love’s greatest victories.

Our Lady’s Sovereignty

Sermon From
14th Sunday after Pentecost 2013
The time between the Assumption and the feast of the Seven Sorrows is considered Our Lady’s thirty days.  The Mass texts of these feasts and that of the Immaculate Heart show her quality as Co-Redemptrix.  This adds fervor to the devotion we already have to our heavenly Queen and Mother.  The depictions of her most pure Heart, as in the Miraculous Medal, show her dependence on the Redemptive Incarnation even more than ours.  We are given confidence to draw close to her as our essential intercessor with her Divine Son.  Theologically we are speaking of her as the secondary instrumental cause of our salvation.  From here we are moved to join her in her sorrows and we practice mortification in union with Our Lord’s sacrifice on the cross.

Her Fitting Assumption

Sermon From
The Feast Of The Assumption 2013
Congratulations to all the confirmands who received the Sacrament of Confirmation last Sunday.  You have received an increase of the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost which were originally received at your Baptism.  You now are soldiers of Christ and represent the Church to the world.  This is a serious obligation which we all must honor in our lives.  The better to do so means not only knowing the names of the Gifts but what they are and do for us.  This is the feast of Our Lady’s Assumption into heaven body and soul.  It is a dogma of the Faith and must be believed by Catholics.  Critics complain that the Blessed Mother has been too highly placed by us but actually it is Christ Who is first exalted on this day.  It is most appropriate because His Mother imitated Our Lord in all His redemptive actions and so she should share in His Resurrection and Ascension.  Our Queen must reign in heaven and this is more perfect with her body.

The Covenant Has Been Renewed

Easter Sunday 2013
We have now had the culmination of the whole Lenten season. We have been catechumens and penitents in preparation for our union with Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Now we walk with Christ in the liturgy. Our Lenten time of training began with the season of examination, then we had to follow Christ to Jerusalem. The Blessed Mother offered her Son on the Cross for each one of us. We have now renounced Satan and proclaimed our faith. We may be small and afraid, just as the Apostles were, but Our Lord had not forgotten them and he has not forgotten us. All order is restored by Christ’s words, “peace be to you.”
