No Fear of the World

March 1, 2015By

2nd Sunday in Lent 2015
There are Catholics who are giving their lives for the Faith in our own day.  What a powerful lesson that should encourage us to stand courageously with Christ in our own lives.  St. Thomas Aquinas is an excellent example for us of humility, obedience, and the need for spiritual reading.  Spiritual reading lays the foundation for mental prayer.  In the Epistle for today, St. Paul warns us about sins of the flesh and the need to preserve our bodies as the dwelling place of the Blessed Trinity.  We should have a holy fear of God and His law, but never fear of the world.

His Hidden Life

January 11, 2015By

Feast of the Holy Family 2015
Children belong to God, and it is the responsibility of the parents to instill the principles and values necessary to live in the world.  Children must remember that their parents are people, not simply objects fulfilling a role in their lives.  In all the years of Christ’s private life no one knew He was the Son of God.  This speaks volumes about His humility. “I must be about my Father’s affairs,” means that fidelity to God comes before natural attachments, and even obedience to parents.  Christ’s hidden life was spent in love and obedience, and by this Christ demonstrated that the life of prayer and meditation is far superior to the active life.

The King Of Saints

October 26, 2014By

Christ the King 2014
The purpose of human history is for the creation of saints.  The reason for all human existence is to reach the final end of sanctification.  The feast of Christ the King was instituted to combat secularism.  God is the efficient cause of everything, and because of this He owns everything.  There is a communal side to all men, but we are not only bonded to one another, we are bound to God.  Christ in His human nature is intimately united to the human race, and even more so after we are baptized.  God wants to be loved, and it is our obligation to do so.

Fear And Encouragement

August 10, 2014By

Sermon From
9th Sunday after Pentecost 2014
We are given tremendous encouragements in this Mass.  Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and it is that fear which we are taught today.  Even as the elect, we can still be lost, but God is faithful and will not abandon us.  Just as Christ wept over the city of Jerusalem, we feel sorrow for those who have turned away from God and will endure His just punishments.  We are all soldiers of Christ who must remain strong and continue to pray for our enemies.

The Fruit Of Our Labor

July 27, 2014By

Sermon From The
7th Sunday after Pentecost 2014
One of the side effects of sins of impurity is blindness of heart.  “By their fruits you shall know them.”  We see the fruits of both the evil and good people in our own lives and throughout the history of the Church.  It is no easy task to change one’s life.  We must carry our cross daily and in uniting our sufferings with those of Christ, we will truly bear good fruit in our lives.  We have a duty to follow the commandments with great love of God.

Our Prayer for Hope

July 6, 2014By

Sermon From The
4th Sunday after Pentecost 2014
It would be a serious sin if we had no desire to grow in holiness. We can increase in every virtue when we attend Mass, but especially in our hope. We should pray for an increase of hope, and the more we pray the more assurance we have of entering Heaven. We see in the Gospel for this Mass that St. Peter was rewarded for his obedience. Without a trustful hope in God, we can achieve nothing. We must ignore the teachings of the world and place our confidence in God alone.

The Obedience of Christ

January 12, 2014By


Feast of the Holy Family 2014
We read the account of St. Luke, the details of which were given to him by the Blessed Mother herself.  Despite what the enemies of Church say, Christ was perfect man and perfect God, possessed of the Beatific Vision and infused knowledge.  The historical details help us understand the mystery of those three days when Christ was lost in the temple.  We should follow the many souls who imitated Christ’s life, the bulk of which was spent in obedience and obscurity.  No matter what our calling, we can live an interior life which is the superior path.
