The Antichrist World

The Holy Name Of Jesus 2026
This entire month of January is dedicated to the Holy Name of Jesus, and it is a beautiful practice to recite the Litany of the Holy Name after the Rosary during this Month.  Although the Rosary is simple, it is meant to lead us to contemplative prayer.

While we live in an antichrist world filled with consumerism and paganism, we should kiss the crucifix and call on the Holy Name of our Savior.  Unlike the Chosen People of old, we are given the privilege to call on the Holy Name of God whenever we wish.  St. Thomas Moore teaches us the importance of following a true conscience in the face of persecution.  He prayed that his persecutors would join him in Heaven one day, and echoed the words of Christ: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

Implementing Our Resolutions

January 1, 2026By

Octave of the Nativity 2026

On this day the Church celebrates three feasts in one.  Firstly, the Octave Day of the Nativity which concludes the eight days of Christmas celebration.  Secondly, the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary which was established to combat the attacks on her Divine Maternity.  And lastly, the Circumcision of Our Lord, the moment in which Christ shed His first drops of Precious Blood for us and received the name of “Jesus” – “Savior.”

As we begin a new year, we must not give in to fear and anxiety about the future or discouragement for the mistakes of the past but make good use of the graces in the present.  By creating and implementing a plan for the changes we wish to make this year, we can lay the foundation upon which our spiritual life may flourish.

A Prayerful Man

December 28, 2025By

Sunday within the Octave of Christmas 2025
It is believed that the angels sang the words “Gloria in Excelsis Deo,” and even sang the entire Gloria as we sing it today.  From the most ancient times, this beautiful hymn of praise has been sung to God.  We will never be able to understand how God could become one of His creatures.  If you want to accomplish anything in life, it must be through prayer.  St. Bonaventure taught us this lesson.  Every Catholic should appreciate how necessary it is to pray.  It is easy for us to love, and a heart of love is a heart of prayer.

The Gentle King

Christmas Morning 2025
Holy Mother Church celebrates three unique Masses on this day to relive the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  The Mass at Midnight expresses the Son being begotten from all eternity from the Father.  The Mass at Dawn emphasizes the temporal birth of our incarnate Lord.  The Mass celebrated this morning calls to mind the spiritual birth of Christ in each of our individual souls.  How blessed we are to have been given the True Faith in its entirety.  The Gospel for this Mass is taken from the beginning of St. John’s Gospel.  We read that the Word was in the beginning with God and that the Word is God.  Today we tell Christ that we will live and die for Him.  The greatest of all gifts we have received is the divine life we possess in our souls. If we refuse to give up this gift, then we have already won.

Our First Look at the Face of God

December 25, 2025By

Christmas Midnight Mass 2025
Surrounded by so many doubts and challenges, even those who believe in the great mystery of the Incarnation may be tempted to question if this is possible.  But it is the truth.  The Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, in a moment in time, took to Himself a human nature like ours.  For the first time God had a heart and was capable of loving us with love both human and divine.  He could now experience the emotions of sorrow and joy in a depth unimaginable.  When we come to church, we must always remember that we are here first to give, not to receive.  The profit we receive is only secondary and in proportion to our generosity.  Our Lord remains in the tabernacle as our Companion and to rescue us from the devil and his human agents on Earth.  Christmas is a foretaste of the final victory we will all enjoy at the end of time.

The Spiritual Crusade

December 14, 2025By

3rd Sunday of Advent 2025
Gaudete Sunday – This day, which expresses a mitigated joy in the midst of suffering, has a more profound meaning for us now than ever before.  To suffer joyfully with Christ is truly what it means to be a Christian.  We have been given a wonderful example of this self-sacrificing love in Maria de la Luz who courageously stood against the enemies of the Church and willingly sacrificed her life for Our Lord.  In our current day, we must face persecution with the same steadfast spirit, and use every attack as a greater impetus to strive for sanctity.

Her Unique Redemption

December 8, 2025By

Sermon From The Feast Of The
Immaculate Conception 2025
We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have shown their loyalty, support, and love in the face of the attacks of the enemies of the Faith.

Pope Pius IX had said that declaring the dogma of the Immaculate Conception was one of the greatest moments of his life.  It was as if Our Lord Himself were speaking when this dogma was defined.  The Blessed Mother was redeemed in a more perfect way than the rest of mankind.  She was not liberated from sin but preserved from it.  Sanctifying grace is the greatest gift we have been given in this life, and the Virgin Mary possessed this gift from the first instant of her existence.  Though she was not under the curse of Adam and the punishment of death, she died in imitation of and in union with her Divine Son. The love of the Blessed Mother for her Son was sensitive and intense and we, who were given to her on Calvary, share in that love.

Saved By Love

February 9, 2025By

5th Sunday after Epiphany 2025
This week in the liturgical year is filled with important days.  The lives of St. Blaise and St. Apollonia, as well as the details of the apparitions of Our Lady at Lourdes, should be well known to every Catholic.

During these days, we consider the flight of the Holy Family into Egypt.  They covered a distance of roughly 300 miles through the desert, and all the pains they suffered during this trip were offered up for us.

God wills the salvation of all men, but not all are saved.  With the graces He offers at every moment, our God tries to save us despite the sins we continually commit.  God gives us his love always.  We must not only know God, but we must love Him, because it is only through love that we are saved.  If we truly love God, He should occupy our thoughts more than anything else and we should be on fire with love when we receive Him in Holy Communion.

Her First Great Sorrow

February 8, 2025By

Feast of the Purification 2025
This feast marks the end of the Nativity and Epiphany seasons. Today we remember both the purification of the Blessed Virgin and the presentation of Our Lord in the temple. The Mother of God was exempt from the legal requirement of purification, however she still submitted to the law due to her humility and desire to be united to sinners. In the Old Law, parents were required to present their first-born son in the temple and to offer five shekels in order to “buy back” the child who was being loaned to them for a time by God. This should remind all parents that your children are not yours but belong to God first. St. Simeon prophesied that Our Lady’s life would be filled with sorrow. This is how she merited the title of Queen of Martyrs and Mater Dolorosa.

Blessed candles, one of the great sacramentals of the Church, are blessed today in the ceremony which has existed from the earliest days of the Church.

Be On Guard

January 26, 2025By

3rd Sunday after Epiphany 2025
As Catholics, we should be well informed about the feast days celebrated this week.  We should know the details of the account of St. Paul’s conversion and how it changed the course of the Church, as well as the lives of Saints Polycarp, Francis de Sales, John Bosco, and Ignatius of Antioch.  In the Epistle for today’s Mass, St. Paul instructs us to avoid the sin of revenge.  We must believe that God will reward the good and punish the wicked, either in this life or the next.  In this Gospel account, the deforming disease of leprosy is shown as a symbol of sin.  We are reminded to have gratitude toward God for both spiritual and corporeal favors.  The Roman centurion was a friend to the Jewish people and a monotheist.  His beautiful words of faith have echoed through the centuries at countless Masses.  We must imitate the virtues of this good centurion if we wish to be cured of our spiritual illness and live a holy life.
