Assumption Evening 2018 The feast of the Assumption celebrates the taking of Our Lady into heaven body and soul after her earthly life was completed. This is in imitation of her Divine Son of Whom she is a perfect image. The early Christians gathered around her after the Ascension and we do the same and with…
9th Sunday After Pentecost 2018 This Sunday teaches us to be humble and thankful for God’s gifts lest we lose them for our lack of appreciation.  The Gospel relates the event as Christ was to begin His triumphal entry of Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. He paused on the Mount of Olives and wept over the Holy City and what would be its punishment for…
3rd Sunday in Lent 2018 We learn in the Mass texts not to let evil enter our thoughts, words or deeds. This is so we live every moment purely and for God. Then we are prepared for the last moment when we receive the grace of perseverance efficaciously. As the good works of Jesus were criticized in…
2nd Sunday in Lent 2018 During Lent it is important to stir up sorrow for our sins and to receive the Sacrament of Penance. The older form for the penitent to use in the confessional expressed aspects of this beautiful sacrament that we should appreciate. If received well, this sacrament can even make us holier than just…
First Sunday in Lent 2018 Grace is present at every moment for us but especially during Lent. We, as Christians, must not be a scandal to those in the world. Lent is our retreat and it is dangerous to our spiritual life not to realize this. The virtue of chastity cannot be practiced without constant help from…
Ash Wednesday 2018 In 1741 the pope declared that Lent is the true sign of the Christian fighting for his salvation by means of penance through fasting which is understood by the receiving of the sacramental of ashes today. The entire Septuagesima season focused our attention on sin and our identifying the predominant fault we want…
Quinquagesima Sunday 2018 This season is almost over and our training for Lent should be completed. Abraham is emphasized during these days because of his fidelity to God when so many others were not. He was willing to sacrifice his own son, Isaac, who was a willing victim as Christ would be in the future. Today…
Gaudete Sunday 2017 As we approach Christmas, St. John the Baptist is our example of how to come closer to Our Lord. We have grace and should never be discouraged because victory is ours. Beg God for great love just as the saints did. Receiving Christ in Holy Communion should change us and His coming in…
2nd Sunday of Advent 2017 To encourage us during this penitential season preparing for Christmas the Church reminds us, especially the Gentiles, of God’s mercy and the reason for us to hope. Despite all the difficulties of life we have tremendous confidence that Our Savior will take care of us because His upcoming birth is proof of…
Immaculate Conception 2017 The brightness of this feast honoring the Immaculate Conception is seen in stark contrast to the darkness of those who should know the truths of the Faith and do not. Our Lady received her initial plenitude of grace today and all the gifts which accompany it. Her humility is prominent among them…
