4th Sunday after Easter 2023 This is a season of consolations, but we know the consolations must soon pass. We see the heinousness of the sin committed in condemning Christ to death even more clearly when we witness the great gifts given to the Apostles on Pentecost. The Gospel for today proves the Catholic belief…
Easter Vigil 2023 Everything is dark at the beginning of this ceremony, just as it was before the creation of the cosmos. The darkness is representative of the Old Testament, while the Lumen Christi, or Light of Christ, is the New Testament. The completion of the Passover takes place this evening. Evidence has been found…
Palm Sunday 2023 We are a liturgical people, and as we pray so we believe. Christ bridged the gap between God and man, and He gives us the vehicle through which we may bridge that gap back to Him, in the sacraments and sacramentals of the Church. Sacramentals are given by Christ through the Church,…
3rd Sunday In Lent 2023 We must never presume that our way is better than God’s. During this season we should read the texts for each Mass, even if we are unable to attend them. Through them we are taught the importance of Baptism and the mercy of God, and we are instructed as the…
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. The Gospel exemplifies humility in the publican, but as we advance in the practice of this virtue our understanding of it must develop as well. Not only…
9th Sunday After Pentecost 2022 We must not neglect the saints. We should know something about the great saints this week like Saints John Vianney, Lawrence, and Clare. But we must not forget those saints that are especially attacked in our day, like St. Philomena and St. Christopher. Those who speak ill of God and…
8th Sunday After Pentecost 2022 ”Taste and see how sweet the Lord is” These words are from the earliest Communion psalm, which was a favorite among the early Christians. We celebrate the feast of the Holy Maccabees, the only Old Testaments saints celebrated in the liturgy, and their story reminds us of our need for…
