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…
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…
16th Sunday After Pentecost 2022 The Lord is sweet and mild. It should be easy for us to love our God. We are moved to act as God wants us to by the grace given to us before, during, and after we act. St. Paul speaks of the life blood of the Mystical Body of…
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…
6th Sunday After Pentecost 2022 This Sunday brings our minds back to the two great sacraments of Holy Week: Baptism and the Holy Eucharist.

First Sunday In Lent 2022 This Friday begins Stations of the Cross and this is an appropriate devotion for Lent that was begun by our Mother of Sorrows. Fasting and abstinence began on Ash Wednesday and their origins go back to Noah. These practices are essential to our Lenten retreat days. This week is the feast…
Ash Wednesday 2022 Septuagesima season has prepared us for this time of removing sin from our lives. This should comfort us as we begin this time of penance. When examining our conscience we should not look at self but at Our Lord crucified to realize the effects of our evil on Him. Lent is the…
21st Sunday After Pentecost 2021 Tomorrow is the feast of St. Luke the Evangelist and today is the feast of St. Margaret Mary the Apostle of the Sacred Heart. The Epistle for this Mass was written by St. Paul during his imprisonment and the armor of his jailers was a reminder to him of the…
11th Sunday After Pentecost 2021 This Sunday continues the theme of humility that we saw last week.

In the spiritual life…
