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.

Our Spiritual Food

Our Spiritual Food

2nd Sunday after Easter 2025
Good Shepherd Sunday – 1st Communion Sunday – Our Lord made it clear that He is the Good Shepherd Who guides and protects us, His helpless sheep.  It is only through His guidance, and the help of the priests whom He has chosen, that we are able to remain on the true path without straying.  As our Redeemer, He laid down His life for His sheep, and we should always be filled with gratitude for this greatest of all gifts.

In the Holy Eucharist, we are able to look at Jesus Christ.  He created this sacrament so that He would be received by all of us.  The most important time to pray is when Our Lord is present within us after Holy Communion, and we must always assist at Mass with reverence, attention, and devotion.  We should never lose our appreciation for the gift of receiving the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of the Son of God.

The Removal of All Doubt

April 27, 2025By

Low Sunday 2025
We must put out of our minds all distractions while we attend the Holy Mass, so that we may focus solely on the Son of God Who is sacrificing Himself before our very eyes.  When God was creating the cosmos, He had the future sacrifice of His Son in mind.  Everything the Son of God did was for love of His Father.  God permitted the sinful doubt of St. Thomas the Apostle to assist in the fulfillment of His plan.  We thank St. Thomas for his doubt because due to it, Our Lord proved His bodily resurrection and removed any doubt from our own hearts.  If any man sincerely looks for the truth and prays to God to help him find it, God will surely give it to Him.  Let us imitate the great saints and martyrs of the past in their desire for salvation and remove everything from our lives which stands between us and Heaven.

I Have Overcome the World

April 20, 2025By

Easter Sunday Morning 2025
Despite what the nonbelievers may say, Our Lord truly and bodily rose from the dead.  Our faith is vain without the Resurrection, because this miracle is the greatest proof that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.  Although no one can see the Divinity of Christ, this act shows that He has power over life and death.  Even in the face of these great wonders, just like the Apostles before us, we must still believe.  This great day is dependent on the victory of the Cross.  We are united to our Divine Redeemer in Baptism, and we will be united with Him in our own resurrection.  In this world we have affliction, but we take courage because He has overcome the world.

From Death to Life

April 19, 2025By

Sermon From The
Easter Vigil 2025
From the moment we enter this world, we are on a journey towards our destination in Heaven.  We have traveled alongside our Divine Lord and shared in His sufferings during the season of Lent.  At the beginning of the ceremony, we are all cast into darkness to witness the lighting of the Paschal Fire – the symbol of Christ Who is the Light of the World.  The incense being burned represents the offering of our prayers.  We do not appreciate as we should the importance of responding to the actual graces God sends us.  After the baptism of this night, we will have a saint among us, and we will renew our vows with the newly baptized.  Tonight let us cast out the devil and cling to Our Lord.

Untainted Love of God

May 5, 2024By

5th Sunday after Easter 2024
The Gospel for today recalls the words of Our Lord at the Last Supper and is chosen to prepare us all for the Ascension and Pentecost.  We should pray with all our heart and will to receive the Holy Ghost in a more perfect way this year.  It does not matter how evil or how ignorant we are, God will still hear our prayers when we ask for anything to aid in our salvation.  The day of our First Holy Communion is the most important day of our lives.  God made us to receive Him on Earth and join Him in Heaven when we die.

The Christian Society

May 3, 2024By

Conference given on
1st Friday May 2024
Although some traditional Catholics refuse to celebrate the feast of St. Joseph the Worker, because they believe it is Communist in origin, the fact is that it is an example of the Church’s Christianization of something contrary to the Faith.  There are many examples of this throughout the history of the Church.  In order to understand the devil’s influence in the world and how it affects us, we should know the definitions of fascism, socialism, communism, existentialism, and capitalism.  The Christian view is that labor is the means of showing obediential love, and is to be offered for the love of God and neighbor.  This is what gives our work merit.  What matters in life is not what we do, but the degree of love with which we do it.

Lest You Lose Your Way

April 28, 2024By

Confirmation Sunday 2024
The youth of our day are in the greatest need of the sacrament of Confirmation. The Holy Ghost gives an outpouring of strength and a unique participation in the share of Our Lord’s passion and death in this sacrament. In His weakness we receive our strength. The Gifts of the Holy Ghost are made far more active in our souls. It is only with these helps that we may combat the attacks of the devil and his human agents in the world. The youth are the particular victims of these dangers, and it is only with God’s strength that they will stay faithful.
