Easter Sunday Morning 2025 Despite what the nonbelievers may say, Our Lord truly and bodily rose from the dead. Our faith is vain without the Resurrection, because this miracle is the greatest proof that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Although no one can see the Divinity of Christ, this act shows that He has power over life and death. Even in the face of these great wonders, just like the Apostles before us, we must still believe. This great day is dependent on the victory of the Cross. We are united to our Divine Redeemer in Baptism, and we will be united with Him in our own resurrection. In this world we have affliction, but we take courage because He has overcome the world. #20250420
Good Friday 2025 This is the day on which we put our God to death, and when we sin, we attempt once more to destroy the God Who created us. The prostration in this ceremony is an expression of our utter nothingness. Friday was the day on which man was created, and so it is on this day he is redeemed. God loved us from eternity – loved us to folly. We are the perpetrators of the Passion, and yet Christ still gave us the grace to be sorry. The Blessed Mother would have willingly died a million times for our sake, yet she was sustained through the unimaginable pain of soul she endured. We hope that we might share in our Redeemer’s death today, so that, like the Good Thief, He might remember us also in His kingdom. The Cross of Christ, along with all His sufferings, will be offered for all eternity to the Trinity for us. Even if we were saints, we could not fathom how our God could love us in this way. #20250418S
Feast of The Annunciation 2025 One could argue that this is the greatest of all the feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Sin never touched Our Lady, yet no one ever suspected how holy she truly was due to her great humility. The Angel Gabriel offered God’s invitation, not His command, to the Virgin Mary to become the Divine Mother. How can we have hope in these darkest days? Our confidence is sustained knowing that nothing is impossible with God. This is the day on which Our Lord became a priest, because from the moment of His Incarnation He possessed the office of Mediator between God and man. The Author of Grace comes to humanity through the Blessed Mother and, as the Mediatrix of All Graces, all the graces bestowed on us come through her too. We were created to manifest the glory of God by freely choosing to love honor and serve Him, with the help of His Most Holy Mother. #20250325K
Sexagesima Sunday 2025 The season of Septuagesima is a very ancient season of the liturgical year. The color violet reminds us to examine our consciences and reflect on our lives. In this season, the Divine Office calls to mind the history of man’s creation and fall, and the Gospel last week instructed us that it is never too late to labor for Christ and gain Heaven.
In today’s Epistle, St. Paul gives his credentials to the gentiles to convince them of his authority as a true minister of Christ, yet all he accomplished was made possible only by the grace of God. In the Gospel of St. Luke, Our Lord tells us to possess a good heart so that the word of God might bear fruit in our souls. #20250223K
Christmas Conference 2024 In a moment in time the Word assumed a human nature and from then on, He was completely God and completely man and will be so for all eternity. This feast of Christmas also includes the doctrine of the Virgin Birth. The Blessed Mother was virgin before, during, and after the birth of Christ. This miracle foreshadowed the Resurrection, in which Christ passed through His tomb while leaving it shut.
The reason why the Son became man was first to honor His Father, and only secondarily for the salvation of mankind. All things were made as an expression of His goodness, and all mankind was made for God first. God became a Father in a new way on Christmas, because it was only then that He became Father in the flesh. Our Lord came to dwell forever in our hearts as the King of Peace. This is a feast of hope which offers a foretaste of the final victory at the end of time. The three Masses of Christmas focus, first on the eternal birth of the Son from the Father, then the birth of the Word in the Flesh, and finally the birth of the Word in men’s hearts. Christ appeared as a helpless child, and all are drawn to the innocence and purity of an infant. It teaches each one of us to become like little children so we might enter the kingdom of Heaven. #20241220
The Advent Conferences 2024 Bishop’s 2nd Immaculate Conception Conference – Learn how the account of the fall of man found in the book of Genesis predicts the great privilege of the Immaculate Conception that would be given to the Mother of God. #20241210-a
First Friday, December 2024 Conference on Grace and The Immaculate Conception – When we speak of perfect passive conception, we refer to the moment in which the product of active conception is infused with a soul and becomes a human person. From this moment of perfect passive conception, the Virgin Mary was redeemed in a preservative, not a liberative, manner. The Blessed Mother from this point possessed a greater union with God than all the angels and saints. Our Lady was not only free from the guilt of Original Sin, but also the concupiscence of the flesh, of the eyes, and the pride of life. By a divine ligature, she was unable to consent to even the slightest imperfections.
Sanctifying Grace is a created share in the supernatural life of God. When God breathed human life into Adam, He breathed a share of divine life into him as well. Grace must be valued above all things. We must be willing to live and die to preserve it. The Blessed Mother was given the plenitude of grace in preparation for her role as the Mother of God, as well as Mother to each one of us. #20241206
4th Sunday after Pentecost 2024 St. Jerome explains the meaning of Our Lord’s quote, “Call no man Father,” telling the faithful that it refers to giving man the honor due to God alone. The theme for this Sunday is hope. We have much to endure in this battle we wage against the devil. After Adam fell the world was thrown into chaos and we struggle interiorly with concupiscence and the pride of life. We remain hopeful because Our Lord told us that if we ask the Father anything in His name, it shall be given to us. True Catholics believe what we are instructed to believe and obediently conform our intellect to the teaching of the Church. #20240616S
Easter Sunday Morning 2024 To prove His divinity, Our Lord truly rose from the dead – physically, materially, corporeally. The signs of His divinity are so abundant that it would be foolish to deny its truth, but we must still be given the gift of Faith to affirm it. Christ rose by His own power just as much as He was raised from the dead by His Father. The risen Savior filled the terrified Apostles with peace. Christ tells us that although we are sorrowful now, one day we will be filled with joy and vindicated in the eyes of the world. Our Faith is the victory which overcomes the world. #20240331
2nd Sunday in Lent 2024 St. Paul calls us to make “even greater progress,” but in order to do so, we must begin attacking our habits of venial sin. Mortal sins kill the soul, but venial sins are the great obstacle to sanctification. These lesser sins can easily be overlooked if we are not on guard against them. They lessen God’s grace in our soul and they kill fervor, making spiritual practices difficult. Our habits of venial sin will inevitably lead us to serious sin. This disease of the soul must be combatted with custody of the mind, sincere desire of amendment, and with hatred and horror of any offense against God, no matter how slight it may appear. #20240225B
