On Mother’s Day we must call to mind the Mother of all of us – the Blessed Mother. From the instant of the Immaculate Conception, she loved the Blessed Trinity more than all the angels and saints, and that love and holiness increased every moment of her life.
Today, on their feast day, we must recall the details of the lives of the great Saints and Apostles Philip and James.
We cannot be saved without the virtue of obedience. We must first of all be obedient to the will of God and to true principles. This is a time of great joy for all Catholics, because we spend this time in the company of the risen Christ. #20250511S
Low Sunday 2025 We must put out of our minds all distractions while we attend the Holy Mass, so that we may focus solely on the Son of God Who is sacrificing Himself before our very eyes. When God was creating the cosmos, He had the future sacrifice of His Son in mind. Everything the Son of God did was for love of His Father. God permitted the sinful doubt of St. Thomas the Apostle to assist in the fulfillment of His plan. We thank St. Thomas for his doubt because due to it, Our Lord proved His bodily resurrection and removed any doubt from our own hearts. If any man sincerely looks for the truth and prays to God to help him find it, God will surely give it to Him. Let us imitate the great saints and martyrs of the past in their desire for salvation and remove everything from our lives which stands between us and Heaven. #20250427S
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
Sermon From The Easter Vigil 2025 From the moment we enter this world, we are on a journey towards our destination in Heaven. We have traveled alongside our Divine Lord and shared in His sufferings during the season of Lent. At the beginning of the ceremony, we are all cast into darkness to witness the lighting of the Paschal Fire – the symbol of Christ Who is the Light of the World. The incense being burned represents the offering of our prayers. We do not appreciate as we should the importance of responding to the actual graces God sends us. After the baptism of this night, we will have a saint among us, and we will renew our vows with the newly baptized. Tonight let us cast out the devil and cling to Our Lord. #20250419K
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
All Souls Day 2024 – Evening The Vestment for tonight’s Mass displays a cross intertwined with the branches of a weeping willow, reminding us to weep for those souls who have not reached their heavenly reward. Because of its implicit denial of the general resurrection of the dead, the practice of cremation was so condemned by the Church that it incurred the penalty of excommunication. We see how ancient the practice of praying for the dead is from the account of the Machabees. To say that everyone goes to Heaven directly contradicts the words of Christ, the Scriptures, Tradition, and reason. The souls in Purgatory are so close to their eternal end, and we must do what we can to speed their journey. #20241102S
All Saints Day 2024 This feast has a twofold purpose: firstly, to give honor to all the saints, especially those unknown saints in Heaven; and secondly, to remind us of our ultimate goal. We are given great encouragement to follow their example in the pursuit of holiness, knowing that if they could achieve sanctity in this life, so can we. Our Lord began His public teaching with His instruction on the beatitudes – the summit of Christian perfection. Like a fruit that has not yet ripened, the practice of virtue in its early stages is hard, bitter, and distasteful, but with continual practice virtue ripens into the Fruits of the Holy Ghost, which make the service of God sweet, easy, and enjoyable. If we steadfastly follow the example of the saints, this will be our feast as well someday. #20241101B
Assumption Evening 2024 The Assumption is not an event recorded in Scripture, but we must remember faith does not come through reading but through hearing. The Apostles learned everything by listening to the teachings of Our Lord. Our bodies are destined to be with our souls in Heaven, not to remain in the world. How could a person expect to be admitted into Heaven if he denies that Our Lord’s own Mother is there? We must make up for that neglect shown to the Blessed Mother by our own fervor on this day. We must continue the fight for the Virgin Mary’s honor and our salvation. #20240815K
Feast Of The Assumption 2024 This is the greatest of the feast days in honor of the Blessed Mother. This dogma, which has been passed down to us from the Apostles, is so critical that we cannot be saved without belief in it. All the aspects of the Assumption call to mind the prerogatives of the Mother of God. She is above all women, untouched by sin and death. This Mass begins with the words of St. John, recalling his vision of the woman of the Apocalypse, and continues with the story of Judith, a type of the Blessed Mother. We are her seed, and we follow the great Queen of Heaven in the battle with the seed of the devil. Her body was the tabernacle of the Son of God and was so sanctified that it deserved its glorification. #20240815M
Ascension Thursday Morning 2024 After Christ sacrificed Himself for our sins and conquered death through His Resurrection, His physical, glorified Body entered Heaven so that we may all follow Him there. The Paschal Candle is extinguished after the Gospel to represent Our Lord’s departure from the Earth. This is the day of great joy because today the Son of God went home. We will all receive our bodies at the end of time. To deny this dogma is the heretical rejection of the teaching of Our Lord. Even the apostles were rebuked by Christ for their lack of faith. This is a warning to all of us who are so weak in faith. We must not be discouraged; we have become new people and have been prepared for a greater calling. #20240509K
