Easter Vigil 2015 We are privileged to be a part of the unbroken history of this liturgy. Catholic worship is more than merely a compilation of rituals. It is a true reliving of the past. Because of our fallen nature, and the sins we commit, we are not placed in friendship with God but in…
Good Friday 2015 This day we put God to death with our sins. Christ saw all our sins and suffered for each one of them. He bore the pains which we all deserve for our innumerable crimes. In this liturgy we acknowledge our sins in all humility and plead for God’s forgiveness. We do not…
Palm Sunday 2015 This is the most important week of the liturgical year, and we are reminded of the necessity of all the sacraments, but especially of Baptism and the Holy Eucharist. We begin this week with a look towards the future triumph when we celebrate Our Lord’s entrance into Jerusalem. We meet Christ now…
Passion Sunday 2015 “The reason that you do not hear is because you are not of God.” We should pray that these frightening words are never directed towards us. We must ask ourselves who is more evil, the people in this Gospel who desire to put Christ to death, or all of us, who believe…
Laetare Sunday 2015 Penance has a variety of meanings. It refers to the infused virtue that inclines a person to hate his faults, the sacrament of penance, and the works we perform to make up for our sins. Mortification refers to works which put to death evil inclinations. Propitiation is an act by which someone…
3rd Sunday in Lent 2015 This is the Mass of sight, and today we ask God to let us see the truth and follow it. Today we are reminded to know our enemy and not underestimate him. The miracle of this Gospel is discredited by modern “theologians,” who are the equivalent of the pharisees in…
First Friday Conference – March 2015 We know the story of Saints Perpetua and Felicity from their firsthand account. During one of the general persecutions of the Church, these two heroic, young women gave their lives for Christ. It is important to understand the meaning of a “type” and how God uses types or prophecies…
2nd Sunday in Lent 2015 There are Catholics who are giving their lives for the Faith in our own day. What a powerful lesson that should encourage us to stand courageously with Christ in our own lives. St. Thomas Aquinas is an excellent example for us of humility, obedience, and the need for spiritual reading. Spiritual…
Ash Wednesday 2015 Not one word is said about punishment or damnation in the readings for this Mass, and that should give a hint to Catholics about the true spirit of this season. There is no such thing as a private sin. Not only are all our sins known to the heavenly court, but the…
Quinquagesima Sunday 2015 We are judged primarily by love. This Epistle for today tells us that charity removes anger and evil thoughts. Although anger can be justified and good, it can also be inordinate and sinful. We must be patient with others, but especially with ourselves. When they fall, those who are full of pride…
