Pentecost Law and Language

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Lost And Saved Through A Tree

Sexagesima Sunday 2020
The Divine Office for this week recounts the story of Noah and his Ark.  This is the type for Christ and His saving Cross which undo the fall of Adam caused by his eating the forbidden fruit of the tree in Paradise.  We learn also that God’s grace is offered to us in abundance and we should not reject it. Our Faith allows us to attend Mass as if we are already in heaven.  We must live for God and not self.  Now is the time to dedicate ourselves to God during these holy days.

Last Sunday after Pentecost 2019
As we end the liturgical year we can make an examination of conscience and grade our spiritual life in light of God’s blessings to us these past twelve months.  Have we been faithful to our Baptismal promises as St. Paul reminds us in the Epistle by renouncing Satan and all his works and pomps?  Are we prepared for the judgment awaiting each of us as Our Lord warns in the Gospel?  Have we remembered the Holy Souls in Purgatory during this month dedicated to them?  The Church gives us hope in the Mass texts which promise God’s thoughts of peace and not of affliction.

Love Is Life Or Death

October 27, 2019By

This week is the feast of All Saints which honors God in His heroic examples of sanctifying power.  Today is the feast of Christ the King which was instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1925 to combat secularism and to re-assert God’s rights in modern society which have been denied.  Christ is King in His divinity and in His humanity through the grace of union, headship, priesthood and conquest on the Cross.  He established His Church with rights to teach, rule and sanctify.  We pray daily in the Lord’s Prayer “Thy Kingdom Come”.

7th Sunday after Pentecost 2019
The Church reminds us today to avoid sin.  If not we will be subject to punishment.  Our Lord uses a parable that everyone can understand.  He equates false religious leaders to the tree that brings forth bad fruit and that we can judge by those fruits.  God is always looking after us by His Divine Providence and nothing is left to chance.  He sees every detail of our lives and allows all for our ultimate goal of happiness with Him in heaven.
