Today Is Our Victory

May 14, 2026By

Ascension Thursday Evening 2026
The Gospel account speaks of Our Lord being “taken up to Heaven,” which means He was “assumed,” yet we are told by the Gradual and Alleluia that He “ascended” into Heaven.  Both these words can be applied, because this was an act of all three Persons of the Trinity.  Our Lord ascended by His own divine power, but He was also brought home by the power of the Father and the Holy Ghost.  Just as the Apostles gathered in prayer with the Blessed Mother after the departure of Christ, we are together with her now.  Angels from Heaven revealed the dogma to us, and to deny this dogma of the Ascension maliciously prevents one from entering Heaven.  Although this is a glorious mystery of the Rosary, we cannot help but feel sad at the physical departure of Our Lord.  We may be sorrowful because He left, but we are joyful because of His promised return.  Today Our Lord prepared a place for us in our heavenly home.

Help Us Reach Our Home

May 14, 2026By

Ascension Thursday Morning 2026
This day marks the completion of Our Lord’s work on Earth 2,000 years ago.  The Ascension is the departure of Christ from His Apostles to His place at the right hand of the Father, and it completes the Paschal Mystery.  Our Lord’s Passion and death is renewed at every Mass, and on a feast day such as this, we receive the graces given to the Apostles and disciples.  In reading the Holy Scriptures we read about the persecution of Our Lord’s followers.  Just as they did, we rejoice when we must endure persecution.  Before He departed, Christ rebuked the Apostles for being slow to believe and hard of heart.  Are we better than they?  We always feel a sense of melancholy when the Paschal Candle is extinguished.  The symbol of Our Lord’s physical presence is now gone, but we are destined to be reunited with Him in Heaven.  Those who remain faithful are rewarded on this day.

We Are Called to Serve

May 10, 2026By

5th Sunday After Easter 2026
We are told by St. Bede that the Resurrection of Our Lord is called “Easter” because the name was derived from the Old English “Eostre,” which was the name of a pagan goddess believed to rise from the East.  The adoption of this name was not for the purpose of giving honor to a false deity, but to change false worship into honor given to the one true God.  This is a far cry from the participation in false worship we witness from the hierarchy today.

We must take a real, honest interest in our vocations, which are so important for our salvation, and pray sincerely that God will guide our decisions.  There should be no question in our mind that God is calling each of us to serve Him.  If we are dedicated to sin, our prayers will not be heard, but if we are sincerely dedicated to God, we can be assured that they are answered.  The less we communicate with the world, the more we will hear God.

We Thirst For The Water

April 4, 2026By

Easter Vigil 2026
We are a liturgical people and during this week we are living the liturgy at its highest level.  Throughout this ceremony we will be taught repeatedly about the mysteries and sacraments.  Unafraid, we go out into the darkness of the devil’s world and ignite the Light of Christ to shine through that darkness.  Holy Mother Church reminds us of the power of the light and the power of the waters.  Because of the doubt of Moses, he was not permitted to lead the people into the Promised Land.  The enemies of the Church cannot make us doubt.  The propaganda of the devil will not succeed.  When the water has been anointed it becomes Christ’s and, after we are sprinkled with His water, we renew the promises of our baptism.  Christ then comes to us in the greatest of the sacraments – the Holy Eucharist.  Tonight we thirst for His arrival.

Hail Our Triumphant King!

March 29, 2026By

Palm Sunday 2026
The purpose of the liturgy is to enter into the life of Christ, and it is through the liturgy that we are sanctified.  In the Liturgy, time ceases and Heaven is brought to earth.  Unlike the triumphant, military marches which took place during Our Lord’s time, when He entered His city, it was in humility.  He did not lead His conquered, enslaved enemies in parade, but led His willing servants and followers.  A king can reign by right of birth, by right of conquest, or by election.  Our Lord is King in all three ways.  He is and will always remain King – King of those who accept Him and King of those who reject Him.  When we receive our palms and carry them with us into the world, we proclaim without hesitation or shame that we are followers of our triumphant Monarch, and we look forward to the day when the whole world will be forced to acknowledge His dominion.

No More Self-Sorrow

February 18, 2026By

Ash Wednesday Evening 2026
Through the sacramental of ashes, we are reminded of our end.  We came from the dust, and because of our sins, we are destined to return to dust once again.  If we hope to be prepared on our deathbed we must make prayer second nature to us.  We are called to imitate the Son of God always, but especially this Lent.  The purpose of the penances of this season is not simply to suffer, but to suffer with the goal of raising our souls to heaven.  “In all thy works, remember thy last end and thou shalt never sin.”

All Flesh Shall to Ash

February 18, 2026By

Ash Wednesday 2026
Just as St. Francis Borgia was converted when forced to face the reality of death, we too are reminded in the liturgy of this reality, and we are also called to conversion of life.  We read in the book of Job that “all flesh shall perish together, and all men shall return to ashes.”  Although we cannot change when God chooses to call us, we can change the eternal outcome of our judgment.  Mortification should be practiced by performing all our duties well, accepting all that happens to us with patience, and by using what is pleasurable in this life for the good of our souls.  This mortification, combined with almsgiving and prayer, will aid us in offering a truly meritorious Lent to God this year.

Holy Anticipation

December 21, 2025By

Sermon on the 4th Sunday of Advent 2025
Although he is not commemorated when his feast falls on a Sunday, St. Thomas the Apostle is a great saint who should be remembered by all Catholics. Because of his doubt, we were all given a proof of the bodily Resurrection of Our Lord. To this day we repeat his beautiful words: “My Lord and my God!”
This day is all about sorrow for our sins and preparation of the coming of Christ. In the early years of the Church, the Christians would gather in the ancient St. Peter’s Basilica for a vigil Mass. We pray just as the early Catholics that we will remain as faithful as possible during these last days of preparation. After asking for forgiveness for our sins, with a contrite heart, we should not think of ourselves anymore but fix our attention on God alone.

Am I Of The Truth?

October 26, 2025By

Feast of Christ the King 2025
The words of today’s Epistle are solemn and frightening. Our Lord expects to be believed, followed, and obeyed and those who refuse to do so, whether they be in the Church or civil society, will be punished severely. Life is not about pleasures and possessions; it is about Heaven and its obtainment.

In our shrine, we have a relic of the True Cross and of the nail which pierced Our Lord’s flesh. It is especially fitting on this day to venerate these sacred items.

It was 100 years ago when this feast was established to combat secularism and to spread Christ’s dominion throughout the world. Our Lord told us that all power in Heaven and on Earth has been given to Him, and that we are commanded to preach His Gospel to every creature. We must not be like those cowardly Catholics who cooperate with the enemies of Christ, but we must fight against and condemn all those who oppose the reign of our King.

No Longer Servants But Friends

June 29, 2025By

Feast of Saints Peter & Paul 2025

Priestly Ordinations

During the ordination ceremony, it is as if Heaven is opening as our Divine Savior unites with the ordinands and fuses them to His priestly Nature.  From that moment, the new priests are able to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, to renew all the divine mysteries of the Faith through the liturgy, to forgive sin, to govern, to teach, to baptize, to bring souls to Heaven.  The priest is called Father because he provides life to the people and spiritually nourishes them.  The Laity should look at the priest and see the likeness of Christ.  By the physical transformation of the soul through Holy Orders, for all eternity, the priest is now a relative – a brother – of Our Lord.
