Christ’s Love Is Causative

May 19, 2019By

Conference On The 4th Sunday After Easter 2019
In this talk after Mass we learn about the qualities of glorified bodies.  Our Lord exhibited these after rising from the dead and they are: subtlety, agility, clarity, impassibility and immortality.  We will also possess them one day in heaven with Christ if we imitate His life and death.  When Jesus shows us His Cross in the end and says that this is how much He loved us then we will answer that we loved Him enough to carry our own crosses as well with His help.

Communion From Our Shepherd

May 5, 2019By

Good Shepherd Sunday – First Communion Sunday 2019
Today is the first time we have had Good Shepherd Sunday also as our First Communion Sunday.  What a special day it is for all of us!  We recall the greatest day of our lives when we received Our Lord for the first time in Holy Communion.  Christ, the Good Shepherd, leads His sheep in the Faith, takes care of them by the sacraments and feeds them with His own Body and Blood.  We thank Him for His divine love.

We Have Reason To Hope

July 18, 2018By

3rd Sunday after Pentecost 2018
The Sacred Heart is shown to us in the Mass of this Sunday.  The texts emphasize the hope of this season symbolized by the color green.  Our Lord describes Himself in the Gospel as the Good Shepherd who carries His lost sheep home on His shoulders.  St. Peter warns in the Epistle that the devil is an obstacle on our path to heaven and we must know our enemy in order to combat him.  He was a murder and liar from the beginning and those are the evidence of his presence in the world today which is seen in recent news items.  Despite the dire circumstances we must have hope.

Your Treasure Is In Your Heart

April 29, 2018By

Fourth Sunday after Easter 2018
In the Epistle for this Sunday St. James describes God as the immutable Father of Lights who wills the salvation of all men.  Any who are lost are victims of their own malice in refusing the graces offered by God.  Our response must be one of love which will guide us along the way to holiness and love of God and neighbor.

Strangers In This World

April 22, 2018By

Third Sunday After Easter 2018
The Collect of the Mass for the Third Sunday after Easter instructs us to think of ourselves as passing through this life on the way to eternity.  The Gospel recounts the words of Our Lord at the Last Supper about the little while before the apostles will see Him again.  In comparison to eternity our lives are only a little while.  We must pray and be encouraged that our faithfulness for just a little while will gain us the happiness of heaven.

The prophet Ezechiel prophesied that Our Lord, Himself, will shepherd His sheep.  These are consoling thoughts for all who follow our true Shepherd.

Mother’s Day

May 14, 2017By

Fourth Sunday after Easter 2017

This Mass prepares us for the upcoming feasts of the Ascension and Pentecost when Our Lord returns to heaven and sends the Holy Ghost.  This day is also a secular holiday in which we honor our mothers.  Falling as it does during the month of May our thoughts naturally turn to our heavenly Mother and all that she has done for us.  A tangible sign of this comes under her title of “Queen of Peace” which was added to her litany and soon afterwards led to her apparitions at Fatima and the end of the first World War.

Christ Was Not A Grudge-Holder

May 5, 2017By

St. Pius V – 1st Friday April 2017

Christ’s first words to His Apostles on Easter night were Peace be to you.  By this He re-assured them that He had forgiven them for abandoning Him during His Passion and Death.  We must imitate Our Lord and not hold grudges.  Also, the Introit for the feast of St. Pius V begins “If you love Me, Simon Peter, feed My sheep”.  These words were spoken by Our Lord after Easter and we learn their exegesis and how they fit the life of this great pope.
