1st Sunday In Lent 2023 The ashes distributed on Ash Wednesday are a reminder that all the descendants of Adam came from the dust and to it they will all return. It is a reminder to humble our rebellious nature. We must be prepared and remain faithful, not only during Lent, but all year long,…
Ash Wednesday 2023 We think of the sins we must avoid but rarely do we think of the virtues we must practice. How often when we confess, we think of the sins we commit but not the reasons why we commit them. We forget that all the hardships we face in life are given to…
15th Sunday After Pentecost 2022 The Epistle for this Mass warns us against vanity. It should be easy for us to see our neighbor as better than we are, because we know our own sins and we do not know how others will be judged. How humble should we be when we remember that our…
10th Sunday After Pentecost 2022 This Mass is a Mass for the proud. Every aspect of this liturgy has some reference to the superior moral virtue of humility.

6th Sunday After Pentecost 2022 This Sunday brings our minds back to the two great sacraments of Holy Week: Baptism and the Holy Eucharist. Through the former we are given life in the Mystical Body and by the latter that life is nourished and grows. Those who fall short in attempting to “walk in newness…
5th Sunday After Pentecost 2022 We are sensitive to offenses against us, but what are we like to our neighbor? Our love for God can be measured by our fraternity. Catholics must be more united than ever before. We must stand unified against the onslaught of vices and perversions of all kinds that the world…
4th Sunday After Pentecost 2022 Our Lord chose to preach from the boat of St. Peter in the Gospel because this boat represented the Church from which alone God’s word is taught. We are in need of God’s help and must never despise it no matter how unworthy and sinful we are. When we die,…
