Do Your Job

Feast Of St. John the Baptist 2021
No man born is greater than today’s saint whose birthday we celebrate.  This along with other details of St. John’s life parallels those in the life of Christ.  Six months before the Annunciation St. Gabriel appeared to St. Zachary and revealed the birth of a son who would be great.  Miraculous events followed which culminated in the birth of the Precursor whose holiness was so manifest that many had to be convinced that St. John’s role was to only prepare for the Truly Holy One Who would follow him.  St. John was approachable to all and taught them that the way to heaven was to fulfill your daily duties.  This was the message of Our Lady of Fatima also and the hallmark of all the saints – fidelity to duty.

The Prayerful New Eve

March 25, 2020By

Feast The Annunciation 2020
This ancient feast celebrates the moment that God became Man in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary.  The Council of Ephesus declared this dogma which clearly defines that Our Lady is the Mother of God.  Everything that had been destroyed by Adam’s sin was restored by the Blessed Mother’s consenting to the divine maternity.  The Redemptive Incarnation and all that flows from it would not exist without her generous response.  God was not outdone by the devil’s machinations in the garden but repaired perfectly every detail of the fall.  In particular, Our Lady, unlike Eve, was found by the angel, St. Gabriel, in prayer and thereby disposed to accept God’s call with humble obedience.

Our Lady’s Fiat

March 25, 2019By

Feast Of The Annunciation 2019
The Annunciation changed all of history as God became a Man this day.  The fall of Adam and Eve was repaired by the archangel, St. Gabriel, asking the New Eve to become the Mother of God.  Our Lady prophesied that all generations will call her blessed and we fulfill this prophecy with every Hail Mary.  We should say the Angelus with devotion.

Tap Into Her Heart

April 9, 2018By

Feast Of The Annunciation 2018
This year the Annunciation is celebrated after Easter.  Our feast recalls the moment when the ever Virgin Mary became the Mother of God.  All the details of this Gospel account took place in her home which is known as the holiest place on earth.  In penetrating this mystery from inside the Blessed Mother, we see how great was her virginal/maternal heart which was so generous, courageous, faithful, trusting and loving.  We, especially the young, should reach into her heart and use these qualities on our road to heaven.

Nothing Is Impossible With God

March 25, 2017By

Feast Of The Annunciation 2017

The Son of God became a Man at the Annunciation and so began His priesthood as the mediator between God and men.  At the same time, Our Lady became the Mother of God.  This could only take place because, as St. Gabriel the Archangel said, “nothing is impossible with God”.  Virginity and Maternity were joined miraculously and the Blessed Mother lived a life of trust in God that made her magnanimous and munificent.  Devotion and imitation of her will enable anyone to overcome any challenge in fulfilling God’s Will.

Her Infallible Trust

March 25, 2014By

Sermon From
The Annunciation 2014
What a close friend of God St. Gabriel must be for him to be chosen over all the other angels to ask God’s intended spouse, Our Lady, if she would be mother to the Divine Son.  If we want to know the will of God we should ask the angels, especially St. Gabriel.  When we hear the angel say, “Nothing shall be impossible with God,” it should fill us with hope and courage.  We must never give up!  Even Judas could have been saved if he had not despaired.  The Blessed Mother gives us the perfect example of infallible trust in God.

Make Me Trust as She Does

March 26, 2012By

Feast of the Annunciation 2012

In this Epistle, Isaias the Prophet warns the king of Israel about the danger of syncretism.  It is far more likely that in relationships with bad friends, it is not the good that lift up the bad but the bad who drag down the good.  At this moment, Isaias made a prophecy, not only for the Hebrews, but for all people – that of the Virgin Birth.  The truth of this dogma far surpasses the ability of words to express it.  Upon the consent of the Blessed Mother, God the Son took a human body and soul and began to take nourishment from her.  Because Christ is both God and man, He is Head and Master of all creation.  We are able to glorify God more perfectly than brute animals with the use of our intellect and will.  All the gifts given to the Blessed Mother were to prepare her for this moment.  All true Christians love and esteem the Virgin Mary, and strive to imitate her humility, confidence, and trust.
