Humility Of All The Saints

November 1, 2021By Servants Of The Holy Family

All Saints Day 2021
The Church always celebrated groups of saints and today’s feast includes all the saints. In the seventh century the pagan Pantheon was consecrated to God and the relics of the saints in the catecombs were brought to this temple for veneration and honoring. God gave this feast so we thank Him for the saints, we can imitate them, implore their intercession and make reparation for any dishonor shown them or the angels. If worldlings work so hard following their pagan ideals why can’t Christians work as hard to love God as He deserves? Humility is the secret of the saints and the law of mercy.

The Co-Redemption Is Not Foolishness

September 15, 2021By Servants Of The Holy Family

Seven Sorrows Of The Blessed Virgin Mary 2021
This is an apologetic against calling the Co-redemption foolishness because it offends against the Faith and personal devotion. The teaching that Our Lord, Who did not need any assistance in saving the world, deliberately chose to have His Blessed Mother participate in His redemptive act is proximate to Faith and so must be believed and loved by Catholics in order to reach heaven. St. Pius X and Benedict XV were recent popes who taught this clearly from quotes we have in their encyclicals. These show the doctrine and explain the difference between the redemption by Christ out of justice and that co-redemption by Our Lady congruently. To deny or demean this imperils one’s eternal destiny. On the personal side, this devotion to the ever Virgin Mary under the title of Co-Redemptrix and Mother of Sorrows made Father’s spiritual life deeply attached to her and led him to dedicate his priesthood to her under this aspect. Many events of his life show this and call for this defense of our heavenly Queen.

Take Heed Lest You Fall

July 25, 2021By Servants Of The Holy Family

9th Sunday After Pentecost 2021
This week we celebrate the feasts of Saints James the Greater, Martha, Ignatius of Loyola and the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Anne. This Sunday is providentially placed in the summer to help us combat temptation and sin. The Epistle warns us how easily we can fall from grace as can be seen by what happened to the Chosen People in the desert. History provides many more examples such as King Henry VIII. God permits evil as a punishment for sin and to teach us to turn to Him when in need. Even those far from grace can do this and in a moment of desperation say “God, help me”. Pray fervently that you may go to heaven and you will.

Pentecost Law and Language

May 23, 2021By Servants Of The Holy Family

Pentecost Sunday 2021
This feast is known as Red Easter because catechumens are baptized now who were unable to do so earlier. The Blessed Mother and the Apostles were in Jerusalem awaiting the coming of the Holy Ghost because Our Lord commanded that. The Jews from places near and far were there to celebrate the promulgation of the old law to Moses. The Holy Ghost brought the new law of love. The special vestments for this Mass teach the doctrines contained in the liturgy. An immediate result from the coming of the Holy Ghost was the miracle of the preaching of the Apostles being understood by all. This continues today for us by the use of the Latin language at Holy Mass.

Ticket To Heaven

May 13, 2021By Servants Of The Holy Family

Ascension Thursday 2021

The dogma of the Faith that teaches that Our Lord ascended into heaven today was revealed to the apostles by the two angels as described in St. Luke’s Acts of the Apostles. On their return to Jerusalem they remained there as instructed to await the coming of the Holy Ghost. They gathered around the Blessed Mother in prayer and we imitate this first novena with our own starting this Friday. The Ascension is the third critical element to our spiritual life. Our Lord’s Death, Resurrection and Ascension are all essential in the plan of redemption. We must die with Christ so we can rise to life and go to heaven. The Ascension strengthens our faith and hope because our head is in heaven and we as members of His Mystical Body will be there one day.

To Serve God Is To Reign

February 24, 2021By Servants Of The Holy Family

St. Matthias 2021
(Profession Day)
Today marks a step closer to the Sacred Priesthood as our brother officially becomes a member of our community with his profession. Religious life is a secure path to holiness and happiness in this life which will blossom in heaven. In recalling the first stirrings of a vocation one can see Our Lord gently calling to follow Him in His life of suffering for others. Sacrifices and greater challenges are still in the future as Christ molds one into a perfect image of Himself on the Cross. By a generous and humble acceptance of this will lead to our sharing in the glory of Our Lord.

Does God Not Have Rights Too?

October 25, 2020By Servants Of The Holy Family

Feast Of Christ the King 2020
Pontius Pilate acted cowardly in today’s Gospel and what happened to him as a result is a good lesson for all of us. This feast was established by Pope Pius XI who saw the attacks against Our Lord as undermining the fabric of civilization also. This feast cries out to brave souls to defend Christ’s Kingship and restore society to the excellent footing it once had.

Our Souls Must Rule Our Bodies

September 6, 2020By Servants Of The Holy Family

14th Sunday After Pentecost 2020
This week has two Marian feasts: the Nativity and the Most Holy Name of Mary. These give us the opportunity to increase our devotion to the Blessed Mother for her role in our salvation, sanctification and protection. In the Epistle for today St. Paul warns his converts again of the sins which will keep them from entering heaven. Instead they should put to death the works of the flesh and practice the works of the spirit which result in the twelve fruits of the Holy Ghost. Our Lord in the Gospel teaches us to seek first His kingdom and everything we need will be given besides. This has always been our experience.

She Is In Bitter Grief

April 10, 2020By Servants Of The Holy Family

Good Friday 2020
The Church mourns the death of God in an even more dramatic way this year. The Solemn Liturgical Action expresses this loss through the Passion of St. John and the two prophecies. Then we join with Christ on the Cross for His universal prayers for all. We venerate our means of salvation by reverencing the Holy Cross and finally we join with our Savior in Holy Communion. All of this inspires us to return the Divine Love of the Sacred Heart which shed every drop of the Precious Blood for us and to convert from sin which exacted such cruelty upon our innocent Lord.
