26th Sunday after Pentecost 2018
The Collect for the 26th Sunday after Pentecost must be taken to heart. Both words and works are needed to reach heaven and we must perform the works in the state of grace. The crucifix is the reminder of what God did for us and we must be like the early Christians in turning away from our own personal idols. Each day is a struggle against a society which militates against the true Faith.

Feast Of Christ The King 2018
After a preview of All Saints and All Souls Days, the sermon proper for the feast of Christ the King begins after the Epistle and Gospel. Pope Pius XI established the feast in 1925 to counter the secularism that permeates our society. After an examination of the causes leading up to our modern errors we are given the teaching on the social kingdom of Christ which frees us from the shackles of sin. Our Lord has given us a kingdom of peace, unity, holiness and above all love. We must love in return and not despise His love.

22nd Sunday after Pentecost 2018
In the Epistle for the Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost St. Paul gives us consoling words from his place of imprisonment. God will see the good work He has begun in us reach its perfection. On our part we need to pray for final perseverance. In the Gospel Christ is not making a political statement as much as one of prioritizing our concerns – starting with God in the first place. This hierarchy of values will guide us in our daily lives and especially assist us when voting.

Last Sunday after Pentecost 2017
As we conclude the liturgical year, we should still be praying for the Holy Souls in Purgatory while examining our lives to test whether or not we have grown in love of God and neighbor. Christ in today’s Gospel prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem and the end of the world. He warns us to be ready always and to avoid any false Christs and false prophets who are people and organizations that are not Catholic.

The feast of Christ The King sums up our faith in the Incarnate God and makes us pray “Thy Kingdom Come.” As good subjects we should know the catechism, pray and give ourselves in return for the divine self sacrifice of Our Lord. We have the examples of the saints who have done so and were the means of the miraculous in this world. Such are needed today when Christianity faces its bleakest future.
