Easter Sunday Morning 2024 To prove His divinity, Our Lord truly rose from the dead – physically, materially, corporeally. The signs of His divinity are so abundant that it would be foolish to deny its truth, but we must still be given the gift of Faith to affirm it. Christ rose by His own power just as much as He was raised from the dead by His Father. The risen Savior filled the terrified Apostles with peace. Christ tells us that although we are sorrowful now, one day we will be filled with joy and vindicated in the eyes of the world. Our Faith is the victory which overcomes the world. #20240331
Easter Vigil 2024 Our time of training as catechumens and penitents is almost over. We begin this ceremony in the darkness of the tomb where the light of Christ will be restored. Without the Resurrection, our faith is in vain. This light is carried by the clergy and the people and is meant to be spread throughout the whole world. The deacon represents St. Mary Magdalene while he proclaims the joy of the Resurrection. By God’s grace we may be restored to our baptismal innocence and be worthy to enter the true Promised Land of Heaven. #20240330B
5th Sunday after Easter 2023 This Mass prepares us for the feast of the Ascension. We are joyful because “God has liberated His people.” There are many who hear the word, but it does not move them to action. The faith of those people is dead, and they will not enter Heaven. We look to the Blessed Mother as the model of all mothers. We see her share her Divine Son with the world. She offers up her Son on the cross for the love of God and all mankind who are also her children. It is a heroic life to be a good mother. #20230514M
4th Sunday after Easter 2023 This is a season of consolations, but we know the consolations must soon pass. We see the heinousness of the sin committed in condemning Christ to death even more clearly when we witness the great gifts given to the Apostles on Pentecost. The Gospel for today proves the Catholic belief in the Filioque – that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. In our own spiritual life, it is sometimes necessary for Christ to hide Himself from us so that we may live more perfectly by Faith with the help of the Holy Spirit. #20230507B
3rd Sunday after Easter 2023 Only those who are sorry receive that forgiveness of Christ. Our Lord in this Gospel says that in a little while He will die and then in a little while His Apostles will see Him alive again in glory. It is not in the Resurrection but in His glorious Second Coming when we shall experience joy unimaginable. We are told that those who pray will be saved and through mystic prayer we may begin to experience Heaven on Earth. We should read the lives of the Saints and imitate them according to supernatural prudence. #20230430S
2nd Sunday after Easter 2023 There is only one fold and one shepherd. We have complete trust in Christ as our Good Shepherd, and it is the call of all priests and bishops to watch over the flock and to bring those who are lost back to the true fold. As we have heard before and we continue to reiterate, the price of our salvation is the Blood of the Lamb – the Blood of Christ, shed for our salvation. The beautiful Paschal Candle stands as a consoling reminder of Christ’s presence with us for the forty days after His Resurrection. #20230423K
Low Sunday 2023 50th Priestly Anniversary of Fr. Ward We are here first to love and honor God, because this day is dedicated to thanking Him. We thank God for sending us a holy priest, for the Church, and for her truth. What better day to speak about the priesthood than the day on which we were given the sacrament of Penance. The words of Our Lord, “you shall be holy because I am holy,” were said to everyone, but first of all to His priests. It was Christ who said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of God.” Priests are privileged to share in the royal lineage as Christ Himself. #20230416S
Easter Sunday Morning 2023 We pray that this Easter will give us a greater attachment and devotion to our risen Lord. Christ would have given His life even if it was to only redeem a single soul. This day gives us the hope that the promises of Christ will be fulfilled. God loves each one of us, even His enemies. Our souls should dwell in Heaven even while we live on Earth. We must be baptized to enter Heaven, which is why we go to such lengths to ensure baptisms are performed validly. We are buried with Christ in the waters of baptism and rise with new life just as He did. We must never lose hope. “Risen with Christ, the Christian must raise his desires to Heaven and detach himself from worldly pleasures.” #20230409K
Easter Vigil 2023 Everything is dark at the beginning of this ceremony, just as it was before the creation of the cosmos. The darkness is representative of the Old Testament, while the Lumen Christi, or Light of Christ, is the New Testament. The completion of the Passover takes place this evening. Evidence has been found in recent years of the passage through the Red Sea, but tonight, in a real way, we celebrate the true Passover, which is renewed through the liturgy. All of creation is made clear to us this night. Our faith is made perfect in the Resurrection. #20230408S
4th Sunday After Easter 2022 “Do not let the sun go down on your anger.” In hearing these words, we must remember that this refers to unjust anger. The irascible passion of anger, when justified, is not only important but even necessary. This is why we are told to, “be angry, and sin not.”
The Spirit of God will magnify the Son by expressing all His goodness, holiness, and truth. This recalls to mind the words of the Blessed Virgin, “My soul magnifies the lord…”. Not only all of creation, but particularly the virtue and humility of God’s creatures expresses the His glory.
The children who receive Holy Communion today remind us all of the happiest day of our own lives, when we received the Holy Eucharist for the first time. Even those who have left the true Faith still admit that this was the happiest event of their lives.
The beautiful clothes of the children reflect the beauty of their souls, now prepared for welcome Christ. We are ready to become Christ’s home. He made us that He might come to us and also bring us to Himself. Every gift received is from Christ, who loves us more than any mother or father could.
People forget these basic truths and live lives of pleasure, pride, and greed. At the end of their lives they are filled with great fear, knowing they must leave everything behind. We must avoid the tricks of the devil and bad friends and remain always faithful to Our Lord in this Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. #20220515
