Nourished By The Sacred Heart

Feast of The Sacred Heart 2025

Although this feast was only added to the universal calendar within the last few hundred years, its origins go back to the Incarnation itself.  How fitting this year that this feast falls on the feast of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, in whose womb Christ’s Heart first began to beat.  A new devotion was necessary to combat false Christianity and Jansenism.  This devotion of the Sacred Heart was reserved for our latter times, when the love of the world has grown cold.  The propagation of the Sacred Heart devotion faced great opposition, even from Catholic bishops and priests.  Jesus Christ’s Sacred Heart not only moved His Precious Blood throughout His Body but represents His love for all of us.  As was seen in the apparition to St. Margaret Mary, in the wound of the Heart of Christ was written the word “caritas,” meaning “love.”  His Heart remains forever in the Holy Eucharist to sustain and nourish us.  We must not be passive on this day; His love obliges us to love Him in return.

The Infinite Worshiper

April 17, 2025By

Holy Thursday 2025
Today we are celebrating the birthday of the Sacrifice of the Mass, the Holy Eucharist, and the priesthood.  We have been warned that we must learn from the sacred things we witness during this time, and it is incumbent upon us to call to mind the details of Our Lord’s life during these last days and moments before His death.  Christ explained to the Apostles at the Last Supper that the bread, wine, and lamb of the Passover meal are all one in Him.  For all priests all Thursdays are a day of retreat in commemoration of this great anniversary of the priesthood.  After the moment of the Incarnation all the prayers of the angels now pass through the Son of God made man.  First, He gave us Himself in the consecration of the bread, then in the consecration of the wine He gave us the Mass, and lastly, He instructed the Apostles to “do in like manner” and in these words He gave us the priesthood.  Today we continue the great feast of love practiced by the early Church and thank God for the birthday of the Eucharistic Christ.

In Se Propter Deum

May 21, 2023By

Sunday After Ascension 2023
First Communion Sunday – We hear about the supremacy of the virtue of charity in today’s Epistle.  It is an infused virtue which allows us to love God as He loves Himself. Many people are egocentric, and the only way they view their neighbor is by his usefulness.  Catholics know that our neighbors are either children of God or are called to be so.   Many people only look at God for what He might give them.  We may only ask for His help, but God asks for our hearts.  We love our neighbor in se propter Deum – in himself for God’s sake.

Taste And See His Sweetness

July 31, 2022By

8th Sunday After Pentecost 2022
”Taste and see how sweet the Lord is”  These words are from the earliest Communion psalm, which was a favorite among the early Christians.  We celebrate the feast of the Holy Maccabees, the only Old Testaments saints celebrated in the liturgy, and their story reminds us of our need for fortitude during suffering, to stand against persecution, and to be true to our principals.  Our Rosary and spiritual reading are more powerful against the world than carrying signs of protest.

Guarantee of Heaven

June 16, 2022By

Feast Of Corpus Christi 2022
The Mass, renewing our Savior’s death on the cross, replaced all the rites of the Old Law.  None are excluded from this sacrifice unless they should decline the invitation.  We faithful strive daily for union with Christ in the Holy Eucharist, and we hope to die doing so.  This is the food to strengthen us on our journey back to heaven.  We are made in God’s image and have been given the ability to choose so that we might use it to choose Him.  Our Lord leaves us free and does not compel us in this choice.  Let us receive Christ’s Body now as a foretaste of heaven to come.

We Become Christ’s Home

May 15, 2022By

4th Sunday After Easter 2022
“Do not let the sun go down on your anger.” In hearing these words, we must remember that this refers to unjust anger. The irascible passion of anger, when justified, is not only important but even necessary. This is why we are told to, “be angry, and sin not.”
The Spirit of God will magnify the Son by expressing all His goodness, holiness, and truth. This recalls to mind the words of the Blessed Virgin, “My soul magnifies the lord…”. Not only all of creation, but particularly the virtue and humility of God’s creatures expresses the His glory.
The children who receive Holy Communion today remind us all of the happiest day of our own lives, when we received the Holy Eucharist for the first time. Even those who have left the true Faith still admit that this was the happiest event of their lives.
The beautiful clothes of the children reflect the beauty of their souls, now prepared for welcome Christ. We are ready to become Christ’s home. He made us that He might come to us and also bring us to Himself. Every gift received is from Christ, who loves us more than any mother or father could.
People forget these basic truths and live lives of pleasure, pride, and greed. At the end of their lives they are filled with great fear, knowing they must leave everything behind. We must avoid the tricks of the devil and bad friends and remain always faithful to Our Lord in this Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.

The Only Solution

April 14, 2022By

Holy Thursday 2022
Today is a good day to remind everyone about how to receive Holy Communion properly. The Epistle is a warning from St. Paul that is timely  because we live in a time of unprecedented sacrileges against Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.  The Gospel describes the Mandatum when Christ washed the feet of His apostles.  This was the first interruption of what was the last Passover meal.  The second interruption near the end when when Our Lord gave His most precious gift just before His death – Himself in the Holy Eucharist.  This is the supreme sacrament in the Church that everything revolves around.  The Mass and priesthood which were instituted this night with the Holy Eucharist are essential to Its continuation to the end of time.  All the problems which face us can and will be solved by God in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar.

Divine Freedom

March 27, 2022By

Laetare Sunday 2022
The saints this week and especially St. Francis Paola show that grace is more impressive than even miracles.  The Epistle for this Mass concludes by letting us know that we have received a liberation by the new dispensation which Christ has brought us.  No longer are we slaves to sin but free from that evil and all of its consequences.  Soon we will renew the sufferings and death on Good Friday which won this freedom for us and today the Church strengthens us for that and the remaining days of Lent by the Gospel’s account of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes.  This miracle of Our Lord was the sign of confirmation of His words about the Holy Eucharist.  This points to the Mass and the need for us to pray always.

Saint Pius X, Our Pope

October 1, 2021By

1st Friday Conference, October 2021
This conference begins with a sobering account of the current problems with the validity of the sacraments because of the devil’s hatred of priests and the means of salvation.  The story of today’s Saint Remy is encouraging in the face of this new paganism because this holy bishop baptized Clovis which began the life of the eldest daughter of the Church – France.  This month is dedicated to the Holy Rosary and quotations about it from the saints encourage us to pray it devoutly.  Finally, we recall our holy pope, St. Pius X, who enriched the Church and souls during his papacy.  His love for God and neighbor was evident in his efforts to preserve the Faith pure and undefiled, to honor Our Lady as Co-Redemptrix, to emphasize the Liturgy, increase devotion to the Holy Eucharist, increase study of the Bible, restore Gregorian chant, revise the Code of Canon Law, reform the Breviary and much more.  His sanctity was attested by conversions and miracles during his lifetime and during this canonization process.  He is our strong protector and supporter today against the evil of modernism.

The importance of the traditional Latin Mass is seen clearly from the encyclical, “Quo Primum”, by Saint Pius V.  This reading of the document is a powerful reminder of this.
