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.

In The Presence Of The Trinity

June 15, 2025By

Trinity Sunday 2025
When we recall the words of Christ, “I have come to do the Will of My Father,” we need only look at the crucifix to see the love God the Father has for us.  He was willing to sacrifice His Son to save us.  We are privileged to know about the mystery of the Holy Trinity, which we could not know without God revealing it to us.  Although most of the Bible does not speak of it directly, belief in this dogma has been handed down through Sacred Tradition.  This mystery was revealed to us because we are meant to live every day in the presence of the Trinity, constantly contemplating Him dwelling within our souls.  We cannot reason to the existence of the Holy Trinity, because it requires faith.  It is only after making this act of faith that we can express our love for our Triune God.

The Standard of Our King

April 13, 2025By

Palm Sunday 2025
Through the liturgy we relive the events of the past, we reap the benefits in the present, and we receive a foretaste and promise of the future. Our Lord allowed Himself to be honored as King on Palm Sunday so that the prophecy of Zacharias might be fulfilled, yet He still entered the Holy City in all humility. In union with the priest, we unite with Christ today in His triumphal march. We hold the blessed palms as a sign of Christ’s coming victory during the procession and, as the countless martyrs throughout history, we are united in His suffering during the reading of the Passion. We are called to carry the blessed palms into the world as the standard of our King, while we conduct our lives as living images of Our Lord.

The Beginning of Our Sanctification

March 5, 2025By

Ash Wednesday Evening 2025
The sacramental of ashes is meant to be for us a memento mori – a reminder of our mortality.  We have the testimonies of St. Justin Martyr and St. Irenaeus, from the earliest centuries after Our Lord, which speak of the ancient practices of Lent and the use of blessed ashes, as well as the numerous examples of ashes being used by penitents in the Old Testament.  On this day, we stand at the border of our sanctification, and if we take advantage of the days ahead, we could be true saints by the end of this season.  There is no more difficult conflict than the battle to overcome oneself, so we must use the tools available to us in order to win our victory.  The practice of mental prayer, spiritual reading, and almsgiving are the great tools which Holy Mother Church instructs us to use during the season.

We Are The Enemy

March 5, 2025By

Ash Wednesday 2025
We are beginning the most sacred and ancient season of the liturgical year.  This season is particularly for the catechumens who are learning the Faith, and the public penitents who desired to be reunited with Our Lord.  The public penitents were sprinkled with ashes to remind them that they are dust and unto dust they shall return.  It was by the popular demand of the rest of the faithful that the sacramental of ashes was shared with all of us.  We are all sinners, and we unite with those public penitents in making up for our sins.  We have been shown the consequences of sin, we know our predominant fault, and we are ready for battle against self.  Everything we do during these days must be from the heart and caused by charity.  Today many “recall” Lent but do not live it.  The reminder of death we receive in the ashes gives us an increase of life.  We should remain joyful in our penance because through it we are becoming saints.

Her First Great Sorrow

February 8, 2025By

Feast of the Purification 2025
This feast marks the end of the Nativity and Epiphany seasons. Today we remember both the purification of the Blessed Virgin and the presentation of Our Lord in the temple. The Mother of God was exempt from the legal requirement of purification, however she still submitted to the law due to her humility and desire to be united to sinners. In the Old Law, parents were required to present their first-born son in the temple and to offer five shekels in order to “buy back” the child who was being loaned to them for a time by God. This should remind all parents that your children are not yours but belong to God first. St. Simeon prophesied that Our Lady’s life would be filled with sorrow. This is how she merited the title of Queen of Martyrs and Mater Dolorosa.

Blessed candles, one of the great sacramentals of the Church, are blessed today in the ceremony which has existed from the earliest days of the Church.

His Priestly Reign

October 27, 2024By

Feast of Christ the King 2024
This feast was instituted in our times to combat secularism.  Those who claim that we need not proselytize, or that all religions are paths to God, are in direct contradiction of the words of our Redeemer.  The doctrine of the kingship of Christ comes from both His divinity and His humanity.  God owns us because He is our Creator and, by the union of His human and divine natures,  He became Head of the human race.  Christ is both priest and king and will continue His priestly reign until the end of time.  The Catholic youth should have one anthem echo in their hearts: “We have no King but Christ.”

How We Save the World

October 6, 2024By

20th Sunday after Pentecost 2024
Rosary Conference – There are many sacramentals used by the Church, but none seem to be as favored by Our Lady as the Dominican Rosary.  It is a prayer to Our Lord with the Virgin Mary, and after the Holy Mass and Divine Office, it is the most powerful prayer a Catholic can make.  There is no request that is beyond its power.  In this world of secularism, religious indifference, and apostasy, we have one thing left – the Holy Rosary.  It originated as a replacement for the psalms for certain illiterate monks in the monasteries and was later used to assist the preaching of St. Dominic.  This spiritual weapon has led to many military victories throughout Church history.  It supplies in some way for what the faithful of today are being deprived of in the liturgy.  The Rosary offers lessons in the practice of virtue, helps us forget our fears and troubles as we are plunged into the Divine Heart of Christ, and disposes us to receive the gift of passive, infused contemplation.
