Our Lady’s Two Loves

December 8, 2023By

Sermon on the Feast of
The Immaculate Conception 2023
This dogma has always been believed by the Christian world, but more recently it was made gravely binding for every Catholic to believe.  The Virgin Mary was redeemed more perfectly than the rest of men.  She was preserved from all stain of original sin by an anticipation of the future merits of Jesus Christ.  She was given the initial plenitude of grace at conception, but her capacity to receive Sanctifying Grace grew with her throughout her life.  God knew the evil of man after his fall, so God promised that he would put enmity between the devil and the woman.  The Blessed Mother has both the heart of a virgin and the heart of a mother.

Our Hand In Hers

October 6, 2023By

First Friday October 2023
There have been many sacramentals in honor of the Blessed Virgin, but the Dominican Rosary seems to be favored above all others.  The Rosary is the sign of a true Catholic.  It is a beautiful prayer, but it is difficult and is often neglected because it requires effort.  The Rosary is particularly a gift for our modern times because it is a weapon against secularism, religious indifferentism, and the other heresies which abound.  It disposes a person for infused contemplation.  This is what we pray for when we ask that we “may imitate what [the mysteries of the Rosary] contain and obtain what they promise.”

Blessed Are Those Who Mourn

September 15, 2023By

Feast of the Seven Sorrows 2023
All of Our Lord’s acts had infinite value because He is God.  The Blessed Virgin Mary is called the Associate of Redemption by her union of friendship, love, and emotion.  She has an intimate union with God.  We all weep, because we are injured, or mistreated, or ignored, or misunderstood, etc.  Sometimes we weep for love.  Love can be the greatest source of pain.  We see how much the saints suffered for love.  One of the reasons why Our Lady wept on Calvary is because of the loss of so many souls whom she loved so deeply.

What She Has Done For Us

August 15, 2023By

Assumption Evening 2023
The Holy Mother of God is Queen, even of the angels.  We cannot imagine the great rejoicing in Heaven on this day.  It is believed that Our Lord Himself came and took His Mother back to Heaven.  We may not have been present for the Blessed Virgin Mary’s Assumption but before long, we will join in the celebration of Heaven.  It is impossible for us to appreciate how much we owe Her for all that She has done for us, and we will never stop thanking Her.

She Is The Joy of Heaven

August 15, 2023By

Feast of the Assumption 2023
In Heaven, the Blessed Mother is second only to the Holy Trinity in honor.  She is called Co-redemptrix because everything that Our Lord won she won as well in a subordinate manner.  It was a miracle that she was sustained in life while her Divine Son died.  She was kept on Earth for the sake of helping the early Church.  Because the Virgin Mary shared so closely in Our Lord’s death, she shares in His triumph.  She offers the gifts of God as she pleases to her children here below.

The Sabbatine Privilege

July 16, 2023By

7th Sunday After Pentecost 2023
Our Lady of Mount Carmel – We must not be deceived by wolves in sheep’s clothing.  There are many false teachers in the church who use the same language as true Catholics but mean something different.  In the disastrous results of modernism in the Church, we see the bad fruit of false prophets.  The Carmelite Order is the only religious order that has its origins in the Old Testament.  The Order fled to Europe when it fell under persecution and was placed under the rule of St. Simon Stock.  In great discouragement, St. Simon was visited by the Blessed Mother who gave him the scapular saying, “Whosoever dies clothed in this Scapular shall not suffer eternal fire.”

The Heroic Life Of Mothers

May 14, 2023By

5th Sunday after Easter 2023
This Mass prepares us for the feast of the Ascension.  We are joyful because “God has liberated His people.”  There are many who hear the word, but it does not move them to action.  The faith of those people is dead, and they will not enter Heaven.  We look to the Blessed Mother as the model of all mothers.  We see her share her Divine Son with the world.  She offers up her Son on the cross for the love of God and all mankind who are also her children. It is a heroic life to be a good mother.

Ponder This in Your Hearts

January 15, 2023By

2nd Sunday after Epiphany 2023
This Epistle tells us that we should bless and not curse our enemies.  We see this exemplified in the story of St. Maria Goretti, who wanted her murderer to be with her in Heaven.  We see it in the prayer of St. Stephen offered for Saul, which led to his conversion.  We see it in the prayer of Christ Himself from the Cross, “Father, forgive them, for the know not what they do.”  The miracle at the wedding feast of Cana was the first of Christ’s miracles, and it reminds us that marriage was lifted from the natural to the supernatural order when it was made a sacrament by Our Lord.  Prudent deliberation must be made when searching for a spouse.

Your Path to Heaven

January 8, 2023By

Feast Of The Holy Family 2023
In these days, when the perpetual virginity of the Blessed Mother is so often attacked by the world, we must defend the doctrine that she was virgin before, during, and after the birth of Christ.  Because the pain suffered in childbirth is a consequence of original sin, the Mother of God, who was free from sin and its consequences, did not suffer any such pains.  Christ is the model of obedience, that supernatural virtue which inclines us to submit to lawful authority.  If the Son of God was willing to submit to men, who are we to resist the virtue of obedience?

The First Day of Our Redemption

January 1, 2023By

Octave Of Christmas 2023
Based on the infallible consensus of the Church Fathers, and the unaltered testimony of Tradition, Catholics believe in the perpetual virginity of the Blessed Virgin.  Just as Christ passed through the stone of His tomb after His resurrection, He passed through the womb of His Mother on the day of the Nativity, leaving it unopened.  On this octave day after His birth, Our Lord shed His first drops of blood for our redemption.  Every suffering of God in His human nature had infinite merit, and His humility in those moments is beyond all understanding.  Let us promise once and for all to be good this year.
