Gospel Of Consolation

August 27, 2017By

12th Sunday after Pentecost 2017
Conference After Mass
The parable of the Good Samaritan revolutionized the ancient world’s outlook on how to treat the less fortunate.  Its impact is still felt today because even our secular society has “Samaritan” laws and institutions recalling this lesson from Our Lord.  There is a deeper meaning to this story which explains how Christ is the Good Samaritan toward each of us who have fallen because of our sins.  A yet more elevated understanding of this truth creates the desire in a Christian to face the evils in this world and transform them into good.  The practice of a deep interior life is necessary to accomplish this sanctification of self and of the world around us.

Be A Man Of Prayer

August 20, 2017By

11th Sunday After Pentecost 2017

We must do good to others and be grateful for whatever gifts we receive.  To live a spiritual life requires prayer more than our natural life needs the air we breathe.  By its power we are enabled to make all the daily sacrifices God requires of us along the path of perfection.  The goal is heaven and the greatest experience of seeing God whereas the alternative is the terrible pain of loss in hell.

Love

April 13, 2017By

Holy Thursday 2017

Holy Thursday can be summed up in one word: Love.  This Divine-Human love in the Sacred Heart gave us the Holy Eucharist, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Holy Priesthood today.  True Catholics love all these sacred things in return and follow Our Lord’s command to love one another.  Finally, we appreciate the cost of this love to Our Savior and what we do in reparation.

The New Law Changed Everything

August 31, 2014By

Sermon From The
12th Sunday After Pentecost 2014
The feast of Pope St. Pius X is this week and even he acknowledged that all his efforts had only delayed the enemies of the Church.  The Epistle summarizes the importance of recognizing the difference between the spirit of the law and its letter.  In the Gospel Our Lord teaches how the new law of love is extends to our neighbors too, even those we may not like.  Say the Act of Charity in the morning and practice it throughout the day by caring for someone else even if you do not feel like it because we do it for the love of God and it is the right thing to do.

Love Never Fails

November 2, 2013By

Sermon From
All Souls Day 2013
This beautiful Mass for the Holy Souls in Purgatory has its own sequence entitled “Dies Irae” which means the Day of Wrath.  It is a warning to the living of the judgments of God but ends with hope of happiness in heaven.  Today is proof that the debt for our forgiven sins can be removed and that Divine Love has in fact created Purgatory for that purpose.  Obstacles still persist in the soul after death and impede our entrance into glory.  These can and will be removed by a purification that severs souls from anything that still holds them from ascending.  What do non-Catholics do in the face of death?  Our consoling doctrine can teach them about God’s merciful love.

Show Them the Light of Truth

April 21, 2013By

Third Sunday after Easter 2013
There is an entire lesson of the Catechism dedicated to one prayer – the Our Father.  We address God as “Our Father Who art in Heaven,” because we belong to Him and we share in His life through grace.

In this Mass we pray that all those in the darkness of unbelief may be given the light of truth.  Pope Innocent III, who died in the year 1216, said that the words of consecration in the Roman Canon were given by Christ Himself to the Apostles, and were handed down by them to their successors.  The Council of Florence teaches us that the formula of the Consecration preceded the appearance of all the Scriptural texts.  Yet the enemies of Christ have sought to tamper with these very words.

We should not hand our children over to the paganism and hedonism of the sports programs.  We are pilgrims in this life, and we must not allow ourselves to be distracted with worldly and godless obsessions.

Joy Amidst Suffering

November 9, 2012By

Conference On Purgatory
1st Friday November 2012
The Holy Souls in Purgatory experience eviternity, or what is called discontinuous time, which is that time which measures the change in a soul.  God lives in a reality independent of time, and one might say that the souls in Purgatory live in a reality between time and eternity.  If one dies without being completely prepared, the presence of God would be too intense for the soul to endure.  It must first be purified completely before seeing God, and this is the reason for Purgatory.  The joy experienced in Purgatory is like the joy of Heaven amidst suffering.

The Solidarity of the Human Race

August 26, 2012By

13th Sunday after Pentecost 2012
We cannot gain an increase of Sanctifying Grace for other souls, however through congruent merit, we have the ability to win an increase of divine assistance for our neighbor. The closer we are to God the more He will bless those around us. This is referred to as the solidarity of the human race. It is also why we pray for the intercession of the saints. It is as if the close friends of Our Lord have a claim on His goodness.

The most important of the moral virtues is prudence, because it governs all the other moral virtues. It is prudence which prevents both excess and defect in the practice of the other virtues

Regina Nostra

June 1, 2012By

Conference On First Friday, June 2012 
The Blessed Virgin Mary is a true queen, with authority and jurisdiction granted to her by her Divine Son.  She was given this title from the days of the catacombs.  Our Lord is a true King in the proper sense, both as God and man, due to His Grace of Union; and here we find the root of Our Lady’s queenship.  Because of her unique relationship with almighty God, she is what one might call the “Queen Mother.”  The human nature of God the Son was produced from her and, because of this, Our Lord would not be King in His human nature if it were not for her.  She is, therefore, not only queen of Heaven and Earth, but also queen of Purgatory.  She is queen of angels and saints, and queen of religious orders.

Catholics should understand the true nature of the gift of tongues which was granted to the Apostles on Pentecost.  The miracle was found in the fact that all the foreigners heard the Apostles speaking in their own languages.  It should not be identified with the false “gift of tongues” found in heretical religious sects.  This miraculous gift was granted to the early Church to strengthen and unify it in its infancy and to aid in the spread of the true Church.
