Sermon On The
Last Sunday after Pentecost 2014
This is the last day of the liturgical year, which is given to us as a reminder that we do not have our permanent home here on Earth.  We are reminded to be thankful and to be prepared for our coming judgment.  We stand during the Gospel to remind us that we must always be prepared to fulfill the will of God expressed in those words.  We learn of everyone’s sins at the Last Judgment.  We have been given great hope and expectation of being saved and that Christ will bring us to Heaven, so we may see the Trinity and be enraptured in that vision for all eternity.

Fear And Encouragement

August 10, 2014By

Sermon From
9th Sunday after Pentecost 2014
We are given tremendous encouragements in this Mass.  Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and it is that fear which we are taught today.  Even as the elect, we can still be lost, but God is faithful and will not abandon us.  Just as Christ wept over the city of Jerusalem, we feel sorrow for those who have turned away from God and will endure His just punishments.  We are all soldiers of Christ who must remain strong and continue to pray for our enemies.

Heaven Is Open

Sermon From
Ascension 2014
Today we celebrate the only dogma that was proclaimed to us by the angels.  Jesus descended into Hell, meaning that He entered to “lower regions” to lead the souls of the just to their reward.  They were all brought to that real place which we call Heaven and all the souls of the just are celebrating there on this day.  This is a prediction of our coming resurrection.  Christ sits at the right hand of the Father by right and by conquest.

The Sole Means of Salvation

Sermon On
Holy Thursday 2014
This day we celebrate the institution of the Mass, the Holy Eucharist, and the Priesthood – the only vocation created directly by God.  The saints tell us that it would be easier for us to exist without the Sun than without the Mass.  Our presence at the Mass shows God’s love for us, because He gives us the grace to come, and it allows us to show our love, fidelity, and loyalty to Him.  God has promised a great reward to those who stand with Him, and we know that it is only through the Mass that we will receive that reward.  Let us make reparation and proclaim our loyalty through the Sacrifice of the Altar.

What the Transfiguration Promises

Sermon From The
2nd Sunday of Lent 2014
At the Transfiguration, Christ took three apostles that represent three virtues. St. Peter represents duty, St. James represents knowledge, and St. John represents love. It was as if Christ relaxed and allowed His Divinity to shine through His human nature. This was shown to the apostles and to us to save us from discouragement in suffering. We see the glory that is in store. It is an insight into Heaven. We should not be fooled by the world and its false promises but always remember that in our Communions we received the Source of all good.

Lent Has Formally Begun

Sermon On The
1st Sunday of Lent 2014
Father Violette✟
Our sins are an infinite offense, because they offend an infinite God and although we cannot make adequate reparation, Our Lord has still instructed us to do penance.  This penance can only be performed with God’s supernatural help of grace.  We are guided by the Church throughout Lent and given the weapons of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.  When we use these weapons well, Lent becomes the best time of the year.  It is the time when we are preparing for our heavenly delights.

Her Fitting Assumption

August 15, 2013By

Sermon From
The Feast Of The Assumption 2013
Congratulations to all the confirmands who received the Sacrament of Confirmation last Sunday.  You have received an increase of the Seven Gifts of the Holy Ghost which were originally received at your Baptism.  You now are soldiers of Christ and represent the Church to the world.  This is a serious obligation which we all must honor in our lives.  The better to do so means not only knowing the names of the Gifts but what they are and do for us.  This is the feast of Our Lady’s Assumption into heaven body and soul.  It is a dogma of the Faith and must be believed by Catholics.  Critics complain that the Blessed Mother has been too highly placed by us but actually it is Christ Who is first exalted on this day.  It is most appropriate because His Mother imitated Our Lord in all His redemptive actions and so she should share in His Resurrection and Ascension.  Our Queen must reign in heaven and this is more perfect with her body.

Much Is Forgiven Those Who Love

Sermon From The
9th Sunday After Pentecost 2013 – 10am Mass
Tomorrow is the feast of the great penitent, St. Mary Magdalen.  Early in life she fell into sin which made her like Satan.  However, Our Lord’s love frees us from sin.  Some, like the Pharisees, rejected His love.  Even mortal sins can be forgiven by a perfect act of contrition.  The Blessed Mother will help us as St. Mary Magdalen discovered.  Christ praised our saint for choosing the better way in contemplation and giving all as shown by her anointing Him with oil.  After the Epistle and Gospel follows an instruction on the priesthood and religious life which stresses the importance of zeal for the commandments as expressed through the vows so thereby we lay up treasures in heaven.

Prepare For The Second Coming

Sermon From
9th Sunday After Pentecost 2013
During the announcements today we learn what things are necessary for the upcoming Confirmations.  This Mass is a warning so we are ready when Our Lord returns for the Final Judgment.  Jerusalem and people in general live lives of distraction which deflects their attention from the important things in life and this renders them oblivious to Christ on the day of His visitation.  If we heed the words of the Epistle and Gospel we will have a clear conscience and receive Jesus as we should.

The Fifth Commandment and Self Defense

May 3, 2013By
Audio Player

First Friday Conference May 2013

Many prelates in the Church stand against a person’s right to bear arms and, by extension, to defend himself.  This comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of the natural law. The Ten Commandments, which express the natural law, encompass more than what is strictly stated. Within the fifth commandment we are not only forbidden to take a life unjustly, by the negative principle, but we are also instructed to do what is necessary to preserve our lives.  It is not sinful for an individual to possess the means of defending his life and limb, and the lives of those dependent on him, and he is commanded to do so if possible.
