Ash Wednesday 2022 Septuagesima season has prepared us for this time of removing sin from our lives. This should comfort us as we begin this time of penance. When examining our conscience we should not look at self but at Our Lord crucified to realize the effects of our evil on Him. Lent is the…
4th Sunday After Epiphany 2022 This week we will bless throats in honor of St. Blaise. The Holy Ghost through St. Paul writes that we should owe no man anything except to love one another. This endorses living debt free, as much as possible, but it does not include being free of charity which all…
15th Sunday after Pentecost 2021 All profession days are beautiful moments for our religious communities and for the people. Today is also unique and reminiscent of Jesus’ words about St. Paul at his conversion, “I will teach him to suffer for My Name”.  This joyful day is also a pure and perfect sacrifice in union…
4th Sunday after Easter 2021 – First Holy Communion Sunday This week we have the feasts of St. Monica, whose prayers and tears were necessary to convert her son, and St. Pius V, whose papal initiatives preserved our traditional Latin Mass and saved Christendom at the battle of Lepanto. Congratulations to our first communicants who…
Easter Sunday 2021 We gather at the stational Church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary because she was the first to see her Risen Son Who truly died and rose again. At this Mass we join with those from last night’s vigil in renewing our baptismal promises and the renouncing of Satan and all his…
Easter Vigil 2021 During this Vigil in anticipation of Our Lord’s Resurrection at midnight we begin outside in the darkness by lighting the Paschal Fire. Then we carry the Light of the World in through His Candle which is praised in the exquisite praeconium called the Exsultet. Prophetic readings and the Litany of the Saints…
Palm Sunday 2020 Holy Week begins with Our Lord’s triumphal entrance into His city, Jerusalem. The outpouring of fervor by the pilgrims there for the Passover was increased by the recent raising of Lazarus from the dead. The city, which did not welcome Him when the Magi came and announced His birth, did so now…
Ash Wednesday Evening 2021 Ashes are a sacramental so we should stir up our hearts and receive them devoutly. By popular demand the reception of ashes was extended to all the faithful not just the public penitents. We should imitate the penitents and catechumens during this spiritual retreat and practice acts of penance like prayer,…
Sexagesima Sunday 2021 Saints this week are our friends like St. Apollonia. The Liturgy is our ordinary means of sanctification and reception of sacramentals is a practical aspect of this. St. Paul is the dominant character during this season of Septuagesima and tells in the Epistle of all he has sacrificed in fulfilling Our Lord’s…
Feast Of The Purification 2021 This feast was already old in the fourth century. It celebrates Our Lady’s fulfilling the Law by going to the temple forty days after giving birth so she could be admitted once more ceremonially to worship. Her humility was extraordinary because she was not bound by the Law but she…
