Good Shepherd Sunday 2024 If we have charity, we desire the salvation of all our neighbors and pray for both our loved ones and our enemies. The words, “I know mine and mine know me,” refer especially to the clergy. How could we be saved without the priest – without his prayers and instructions. Those…
1st Sunday in Lent 2024 We are particularly the objects of temptation during this season in which God is calling us to sanctity. During the temptation of Christ in the desert, Our Lord was not drawn to the evil as we are. St. Margaret of Cortona after discovering her lover’s body, made a complete conversion…
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…
Septuagesima Sunday 2024 These next three Sundays are for an examination of conscience, in which we search out those things in our soul which make us enemies of God. Today we begin with a view of creation and the fall of man. Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden because they did…

All Saints Day 2023 St. John expresses God’s love and mercy for the Hebrews in today’s passage from the Apocalypse, but it is also a call for all men. Every man is called to be a saint. The origins of this feast go back to the beginning of time, because even the angels are included…
Christ The King 2023 Salvation is all that matters. It is necessary that every person and every government should be Catholic. Today the Church authorities tell us that we must not make converts.
