How Can Sin Make Us Better?

January 26, 2020By

3rd Sunday after Epiphany 2020
Today is a continuation of the beautiful time after the Epiphany when the God-Man is shown to us for our adoration and love.  The Redemptive Incarnation is with the Trinity as the most important truth about God Who rules the cosmos, even as an Infant.  The Epistle warns us not to be puffed up with pride but to be as the centurion in the Gospel who had great faith and humility.  Our faults and sins should humble us and thereby make us better.

One Word Can Make A Saint

January 19, 2020By

2nd Sunday after Epiphany 2020
The Liturgy is moving toward the redemptive aspect of the Incarnation.  We go with the true and certain knowledge of Christ’s divinity that is manifested to us during these days.  We pray and thereby know our Faith through the liturgical law that the law of prayer is the law of believing.  This Mass is full of such treasures that we must ask God to give them to us as He did give them to the shepherds and magi.  His first miracle at the wedding feast of Cana was a prelude to His final miracle at the Last Supper when He changed wine into His Precious Blood.

The Holy Family & Silent Prayer

January 12, 2020By

Feast Of The Holy Family 2020
This feast celebrates the beautiful life that Jesus led in this world with His Holy Family.  The Epistle gives us the foundation of the Holy Family’s life together which is charity – the bond of perfection.  The Gospel teaches about Christ’s consciousness of His divine mission and how others observed His growth in wisdom, grace and age.  The sermon concludes with a meditation on silent prayer and why it is essential at Mass.

Feast Of The Holy Name of Jesus 2019
Tomorrow is the feast of the Epiphany and it commemorates the showing forth of God made Man and His dwelling among us.  The feast marks three manifestations: first, to the Magi, second, Christ’s Baptism and third, the wedding feast at Cana.  Today’s feast celebrates the Savior’s Name and all that we owe It.  We receive great consolations through use of the Holy Name.  Jesus means savior and Christ is saving us even right now.

A Renewal of Christmas

December 29, 2019By

Sunday Within The Octave Of Christmas 2019
The eight days starting with Christmas are the daily celebration of the Incarnation and the Sunday within those days is a highlight of that.  Despite all the propaganda, we should adhere to the Church Fathers, not only in upholding the dogmas surrounding this feast like the virgin birth, but other truths handed down to us like December 25 being the date of Christ’s birth.  This Epistle recalls the dogmatic truths and the Gospel warns us, as the Blessed Mother, that her Infant Son will inspire persecution against Himself and His followers like the saints of Christmas.  We already willingly stand with Him and pray to continue to be faithful.

Christmas Is Hope

December 25, 2019By

Christmas 2019
As we gather at the crib of Bethlehem we renew our belief in the fundamental truths of the Incarnation (God made Man) and the miraculous virgin birth (the Blessed Mother’s perpetual virginity).  After thousands of years of suffering in consequence of Adam’s sin this night marks the beginning of our redemption and the elevation again to the supernatural life.  All of this is the cause of the joy experienced by the faithful and which even effects our pagan, secular world. God with us gives us hope for a better future and the promise of living with Him in heaven one day.

We Will Bless Our Crosses

December 1, 2019By

1st Sunday Of Advent 2019
The feast of St. Nicholas on Friday is a celebration of an heroic early bishop whose acts of charity have been carried on to our day in the figure of Santa Claus.  Advent and the new liturgical year begin today and the Introit of the Mass is an appeal to beg God to protect us from the devil.  The Epistle gives the plan for this season – cast out the works of darkness and put on the armor of light in preparation for Christmas.  The Gospel continues the warning from last week about the end of the world and our facing God’s judgment.  We will be thankful on that day for all the merit gained through our struggles for salvation.

How Often Do We Thank Him?

February 10, 2019By

5th Sunday After Epiphany 2019
On this Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany St. Paul reminds us that charity is the bond of perfection.  Our Lord gave us the example of forgiving sinners as an expression of our love.  We can imitate that towards our neighbor, especially the ones who might annoy us.  God will help us practice this and the other virtues.  Sin is the only thing that belongs to us alone.  We must beware of the fires of hell as a punishment for lack of love.

Love Rules All

February 3, 2019By

4th Sunday After Epiphany 2019

In the Epistle for the Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany St. Paul teaches that charity must be part of the fulfillment of all the commandments and not a license to commit sin.  We must do our part and fight against evil.  We need to ask for forgiveness, renounce our sins and cry to Our Lord with the apostles “Save us, Lord!”

Ordinary Means of Holiness

January 27, 2019By

3rd Sunday after Epiphany 2019
The Introit and some of the Mass propers for the Third Sunday after the Epiphany will be repeated on the next two Sundays.  They renew the joy of the Incarnation and show forth the divinity of Our Lord.  These are reminders of the essential quality of the liturgy in sanctifying our lives.   The Gospel in particular manifests Christ’s divine power, first to the Jews in the person of the leper and then to the Gentiles in the person of the centurion’s servant.  St. Paul’s epistle stresses charity as the hallmark of Christians.
