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…
Sexagesima Sunday 2015 Many of the Epistles of St. Paul were dictated by him and written by his fellow disciples. He was being attacked by false Christians, so in this Epistle he attempts to bring back the faithful who were led astray. St. Paul’s great lesson is to distrust ourselves. This season is the realization…
Septuagesima Sunday 2015 The Epistle tells us that if we are to put our efforts into anything it should be something that really matters. Not for the perishable rewards given in sports but for the eternal reward of Heaven. These three Sundays are for an examination of conscience. We should be asking during these days…
3rd Sunday after Epiphany 2015 In today’s Epistle St. Paul is telling the Christians of Rome to be at peace as much as possible with all men. We must make an answer to God for all we do, even our idle words. We make converts by the good example we give as Catholics. During His…
Octave of Christmas 2015 Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. If we want to know how much God loves us, all we need do is think of the Incarnation. In all humility the Son of God bridged the infinite gap between God and man. The closer we come to God the more we…
Sermon From The 4th Sunday of Advent 2014 ✟Father Violette This is the last day of preparation for the birth of Christ. To talk about penance, conversion, and self-purification is not opposed to the joy of Christmas, but necessary for true participation. Even the Child Jesus had His Passion in mind when He first entered…
Sermon from The 1st Sunday of Advent 2014 St. Andrew was the first of the Apostles. He traveled to Greece and even Russia, and ultimately gave his life by crucifixion in imitation of Our Lord. We begin the new liturgical year and the reliving and re-presentation of the life of Christ, through which we are…
Sermon On The Last Sunday after Pentecost 2014 This is the last day of the liturgical year, which is given to us as a reminder that we do not have our permanent home here on Earth. We are reminded to be thankful and to be prepared for our coming judgment. We stand during the Gospel…
All Souls Day 2014 We remember in a special way the great priests who stood up against the corruption in the Church. They were persecuted so we might have the Faith today. We should pray with all our hearts and souls during this Mass. Purgatory was not first created out of justice but out of…
