Sermon On
Pentecost Sunday 2014
The Father is the Unbegotten, the Son is the Only-begotten, and the Holy Ghost is the unifying and personal Love which unites both the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Unction, the Finger of the Right Hand of God, and the Giver of Life. Today is the birthday of the Church and we see all of Christianity spring from the graces the Holy Ghost gives to the Church. There is one Faith and there is one Lord.

Sermon From The
Feast Of All Saints 2013
Our Lord in the Gospel teaches the Beatitudes which show the blessedness of the saints. We must have great desire to be holy and we can achieve this with prayer and effort. Although non-Catholics criticize devotion to the saints they are not following Christian practice which dates back to the second century when several Apostolic Fathers recorded how relics, feastdays and prayers in honor of the Blessed Mother and the martyrs were already well-established. We must go to the saints who are more powerful now in heaven than they ever were on earth. We should take the words of St. Augustine to heart: “If they can become saints why can’t I?” Prayer to the saints will be rewarded. Heaven is our home and for that we have been created.

Sermon From The
4th Sunday After Pentecost 2013
Today is also Father’s Day. This vocation is attacked in our society and only adds to the suffering and sacrifices that fathers must endure for the sake of their families but God always hears their prayers and heaven awaits them. The Black Forest fires that have been destroying many homes in our area have even threatened us but God has preserved us. We have many spiritual helps to protect us and all are welcome here in case of danger. Things like this make people wonder how evils exist in a world created by our heavenly Father Who saw that all was good. Non-Catholics are at a loss to answer such questions and some conclude that God cannot exist. We know that there are many reasons why we suffer and imitating Our Lord on the cross and winning eternal glory is certainly one of them.

Easter Sunday 2013
We have now had the culmination of the whole Lenten season. We have been catechumens and penitents in preparation for our union with Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Now we walk with Christ in the liturgy. Our Lenten time of training began with the season of examination, then we had to follow Christ to Jerusalem. The Blessed Mother offered her Son on the Cross for each one of us. We have now renounced Satan and proclaimed our faith. We may be small and afraid, just as the Apostles were, but Our Lord had not forgotten them and he has not forgotten us. All order is restored by Christ’s words, “peace be to you.”
