We Are Called to Serve

May 10, 2026By

5th Sunday After Easter 2026
We are told by St. Bede that the Resurrection of Our Lord is called “Easter” because the name was derived from the Old English “Eostre,” which was the name of a pagan goddess believed to rise from the East.  The adoption of this name was not for the purpose of giving honor to a false deity, but to change false worship into honor given to the one true God.  This is a far cry from the participation in false worship we witness from the hierarchy today.

We must take a real, honest interest in our vocations, which are so important for our salvation, and pray sincerely that God will guide our decisions.  There should be no question in our mind that God is calling each of us to serve Him.  If we are dedicated to sin, our prayers will not be heard, but if we are sincerely dedicated to God, we can be assured that they are answered.  The less we communicate with the world, the more we will hear God.

He Has Waited an Eternity

May 3, 2026By

4th Sunday after Easter 2026 – First Communion Sunday
This month begins with the feast of St. Joseph the Worker, who was chosen to lift our times out of the communistic view of labor and to give all workers a Catholic model to follow.  The Catholic view is contrary to that of communism as well as unbridled capitalism.  We must hold to Catholic principles and refuse to be swayed by the propaganda of these secular movements.  Man’s value is not simply calculated by the amount of money he earns or the work of which he is capable, but because of the dignity of his God-given nature.

Our Lord promised that He would not leave us orphans but would come to us in the Holy Eucharist.  The first communicants have worked hard in preparation for this moment.  They have received the sacrament of Penance to unburden themselves of all sin so they might soar to Heaven in the reception of Holy Communion.  Now Our Lord will enter their souls, not merely through grace, but in His Real Presence.

He Will Rescue The Sheep

April 19, 2026By

Good Shepherd Sunday 2026
Our Lord chose the title of “Good Shepherd” because it represents the solicitous care of God for His creation.  A good shepherd of the faithful protects them from enemies, guides them, and sanctifies them through the Mass and the sacraments.  The power to teach has been given directly by God to His ministers.  These powers are not only meant for the help of the members of the Church, but to help those outside the true Faith to find their way into the fold.  St. John’s Gospel explains the parable of the sheepfold in detail, while the Prophet Ezekiel gives a dire warning to evil shepherds.  The words are apropos for our time.  We are here to encourage and call back those who have been led astray by bad shepherds.  In our spiritual battle, we encourage the youth to answer God’s call to join this fight. The calling to a vocation is the greatest of gifts and should not be squandered.

The Biblical Easter Celebration

April 12, 2026By

Low Sunday 2026
This week we are given the splendid examples of the saintly lives we should imitate in St. Hermenegild, Bl. Margaret of Castello, St. Justin Martyr, St. Benedict Joseph Labre, St. Magnus of Orkney, and St. Anicetus.  We should familiarize ourselves with the details of their lives.

The Apostles were so overjoyed to see Christ risen that they began to wonder if their own excitement was causing them to imagine His presence.  Our Lord asked for food, that He might prove His bodily resurrection.  For St. Mary Magdalen, it was enough to hear her Lord’s voice, but St. Thomas had to put His hand into Our Lord’s side in order to believe.

We reject the so-called “New Synodal Church,” along with its false Divine Mercy devotion.  The Divine Mercy image has no Sacred Heart and no wounds, and it was condemned by the pre-conciliar Church.  We Catholics celebrate the biblical account of what Christ did on this day.

The Providence of the Resurrection

April 5, 2026By

Easter Sunday Evening 2026
Bishop Ward’s Easter greeting following Benediction
Despite what many Modernists might say, it is a dogma of the Faith that Our Lord rose bodily from the dead. We are greatly blessed to have such a prayerful chapel and beautiful vestments with which to honor Our Lord. We die because of the consequences of sin. In conquering death our Redeemer conquered sin and all those who cause it in the world. Divine Providence is God’s plan for our lives, and that plan includes all the trials and all the blessings. The enemies of Christ can do nothing to hurt us. We enjoy great peace in knowing that Christ has overcome death and sin. If we give ourselves to Him and trust in His grace, we can rest assured that all will end well for us.

Walk In The Newness Of Life

April 5, 2026By

Easter Sunday Morning 2026
The entire liturgical year prepares us for this greatest of all feasts when the Church celebrates the triumph of its beloved Redeemer.  It is fitting that this day falls during the Spring, when all creation appears to be coming forth with new life.  It is because of Easter that Christians recognize the Lord’s Day as Sunday.  We place our joy in a work which is greater than that of creation itself, and we rest on Sunday to commemorate it.  All the faithful recognize the dogma of Christ’s bodily resurrection as the foundation of our Faith.  As St. Paul tells us, “If Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.”  The Apostles gave testimony to this fact by shedding their blood in defense of it.  Now that we have been buried with Christ and have risen in His new life, we must persevere in the practice of virtue and vigorously combat the temptation to return to the slavery of sin.  Like our risen Lord, may we die no more and forever walk in the newness of life.

We Thirst For The Water

April 4, 2026By

Easter Vigil 2026
We are a liturgical people and during this week we are living the liturgy at its highest level.  Throughout this ceremony we will be taught repeatedly about the mysteries and sacraments.  Unafraid, we go out into the darkness of the devil’s world and ignite the Light of Christ to shine through that darkness.  Holy Mother Church reminds us of the power of the light and the power of the waters.  Because of the doubt of Moses, he was not permitted to lead the people into the Promised Land.  The enemies of the Church cannot make us doubt.  The propaganda of the devil will not succeed.  When the water has been anointed it becomes Christ’s and, after we are sprinkled with His water, we renew the promises of our baptism.  Christ then comes to us in the greatest of the sacraments – the Holy Eucharist.  Tonight we thirst for His arrival.

Pray In My Name

May 25, 2025By

5th Sunday after Easter 2025

Although Memorial Day is a secular holiday, every Catholic should remember those who courageously gave their lives in service of our country and pray for them on that day.

This Mass commands us to pray in the name of Our Lord, and we fulfill this command through the liturgy.  We should pay special attention to the prayers of today’s Mass.  The maniple was not originally a vestment of the priest.  In ancient times, so many priests needed a handkerchief during the liturgy, because they were moved to tears, that the handkerchief became an official vestment.  St. James the Less reminds us to be a doer of the word, not a hearer only.  He was the cousin of Our Lord, and he is chosen to teach us the truths of the Faith during Paschaltide.  We remember this month that the Blessed Mother is Queen of Heaven and Earth, let us treat her as such.

The Support of the Church

May 18, 2025By

4th Sunday after Easter 2025

The Church would not be able to distribute its spiritual blessings to us without our support.  A Mass stipend is not a payment for the Mass, but merely a gesture of gratitude and a donation for the daily sustenance of the priest.

This week we recall the lives of Saints Bernadine of Siena and Rita of Cascia.  St. Bernadine fought tirelessly against the vice of gambling, as well as witchcraft and sins of impurity, while St. Rita lived a life of heroic virtue as a wife, mother, widow, and Augustinian nun.  She is the saint invoked for impossible causes.

In the Epistle for today’s Mass, St. James speaks of the source of our consolation and reminds us that we are the greatest creation of the Holy Trinity.  We must remain pure and meek as we cast out all evil from our lives.

Necessary Obedience

May 11, 2025By

3rd Sunday after Easter 2025

On Mother’s Day we must call to mind the Mother of all of us – the Blessed Mother.  From the instant of the Immaculate Conception, she loved the Blessed Trinity more than all the angels and saints, and that love and holiness increased every moment of her life.

Today, on their feast day, we must recall the details of the lives of the great Saints and Apostles Philip and James.

We cannot be saved without the virtue of obedience. We must first of all be obedient to the will of God and to true principles. This is a time of great joy for all Catholics, because we spend this time in the company of the risen Christ.
