The Growth Of The Inner Man

September 28, 2014By

Sermon From The
16th Sunday after Pentecost 2014
St. Paul tells us that he belongs to us.  He was made a saint for us, and he continues his intercession for us to this day.  We are told to grow in the inner man, to grow in Sanctifying Grace.  The breadth of God’s love is the magnitude of His love.  The length its eternity.  The height of God’s loves refers to the fact that His love surpasses all understanding.  The depth of His love refers to its sincerity.  We can never thank God enough for the least of His gifts.

The Battle Of Saint Pius X

September 5, 2014By

Conference Given On
1st Friday September 2014
Pope Saint Pius X only reigned for eleven years but his contributions to the Church are unparalleled in modern times.  He took the name Pius because the past popes who possessed that name suffered for Christ as great defenders of Catholic doctrine.  As soon as he became pope, he sought to reform the devotion of the clergy.  He is also called the Pope of Holy Communion because he reduced the age at which children were able to receive communion.  Through this great saint’s writings and example, we learn how to fight heresy, and especially Modernism, without compromise.

Our Humiliations

August 17, 2014By

Sermon From
10th Sunday After Pentecost 2014
This week we have the feasts of St. Helen and St. Bernard who entered religious life with thirty relatives and friends who accompanied him.  This is the Sunday of Humility when we remember where we came from so we do not fall.  St. Paul reminds Corinthians of their stupidity in worshiping rocks and how grace helped them.  We were called to a supernatural destiny from the beginning but Adam destroyed that for us.  Now we must overcome the inherited pride by the essential virtue of humility because unless we become like little children we shall not enter into heaven.

Public Worship

August 3, 2014By

Sermon From
8th Sunday After Pentecost 2014
This week has the beautiful feasts of St. Dominic, Our Lady of the Snows, the Transfiguration and St. John Vianney.  Man by nature has the need to be religious and bind himself to that which is greater, namely God the Creator.  For Catholics this is enhanced as we are bound to God our Father.  For these reasons, and because of God’s own commandment, we must worship Him publicly and should not permit anything to prevent us from attending Mass on Sundays and Holydays of obligation.  Real men sacrifice all for family, and are willing to do the same for Almighty God.  St. Augustine said it famously, “Lord, you have made us for Yourself and our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.”

The Veiling Ceremony

July 20, 2014By

Sermon From
6th Sunday After Pentecost 2014
This week we have the feasts of St. Mary Magdalen, St. James the Greater and St. Anne.  This Mass repeats Holy Week for us and its sacraments of Baptism and the Holy Eucharist.  Today is also the veiling day for one of the Carmelite Sisters which is rare in our world.  The veil is the sign of consecration to Our Lord as the true Spouse of souls and the reserving of the look of the countenance to Him alone.  Do not deny Jesus anything because no amount of generosity on our part can outdo that of the Savior.  All the elements of this beautiful ceremony express the joy, peace, sacrifice and eternal reward that a contemplative vocation embodies.

Our Mediator To God

June 29, 2014By

Sermon From
The Feast Of Saints Peter & Paul 2014
The gates of hell will not prevail against the Church because Christ protects it and has built it on the rock of St. Peter.  We know much about St. Peter from the Gospels and about St. Paul from the Acts and the Epistles.  They mirrored Christ.  St. Peter is highlighted by his conversion which drew Our Lord to his humility and sincerity.  St. Peter as Vicar of Christ on earth is the the means of our relationship with God.  Saints Peter and Paul are models of the priesthood and religious life.  Vocations should be inspired by this feast to follow their example.  St. Ignatius says that we should presume to be a priest unless told by competent guides that it is not for us.  All are called to the priesthood and/or religious life.

Come To The Feast

June 22, 2014By

2nd Sunday after Pentecost 2014
This Sunday sets the tone for the rest of the year.  The liturgical color of this season after Pentecost is green, which represents hope.  The Mass is filled with all the tools necessary to make us saints.  Just as we read the Gospel account, we too receive invitations from God and we can choose to ignore them if we wish.  This Mass is for all of us: the poor, the lame, the blind.  We must have a great fear and a great love of the Holy Name.

Giver Of Life

June 8, 2014By

Sermon On
Pentecost Sunday 2014
The Father is the Unbegotten, the Son is the Only-begotten, and the Holy Ghost is the unifying and personal Love which unites both the Father and the Son.  The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Unction, the Finger of the Right Hand of God, and the Giver of Life.  Today is the birthday of the Church and we see all of Christianity spring from the graces the Holy Ghost gives to the Church.  There is one Faith and there is one Lord.

Niceness vs. Sanctity

June 6, 2014By

Conference On The
1st Friday June 2014, St. Norbert
Melchisedech was a priest, prophet and king so his life is a perfect foreshadowing of Christ.  The only record in the Old Testament of a sacrifice of bread and wine was offered by him.  St. Norbert lived a sinful life far from God but miraculously converted.  This saint is a beautiful example of great generosity of soul.  Saints are not “nice.”  We can be very misled by judging souls by externals.  It is not the niceness of a person and not even his knowledge that determines the sanctity of his soul.  It is the love of God which makes the difference.

Everlasting Pleasure

May 4, 2014By

Sermon From The
2nd Sunday after Easter 2014
St. Peter reminds us in the Epistle for today that our obligation is to become saints.  Our Lord compares our relationship with Him to the relationship between Him and His Father.  The world mistakenly teaches that life is all about pleasure and worldly goals.  We either think as God thinks or as the world does.  If we seek the everlasting pleasure of Heaven, rather than the passing pleasures of this life, God will begin to reward us even now.
