Immaculate Conception 2018
The Proclamation of the dogma of today’s feast of the Immaculate Conception was done by Pope Pius IX in 1854.  This prerogative is an absolutely supernatural gift to the Blessed Virgin Mary in light of the Passion and Death of her Divine Son and which created Her as a worthy vessel for the carrying of Christ as His Mother later in Her life.  Her initial plenitude of grace was accompanied by the virtues and the gifts in the highest degree possible to equip her for God’s mission.  God’s love produced this in her and the Blessed Mother reciprocated this love throughout her life.

26th Sunday after Pentecost 2018
The Collect for the 26th Sunday after Pentecost must be taken to heart.  Both words and works are needed to reach heaven and we must perform the works in the state of grace.  The crucifix is the reminder of what God did for us and we must be like the early Christians in turning away from our own personal idols.  Each day is a struggle against a society which militates against the true Faith.

19th Sunday after Pentecost 2018
The 19th Sunday after Pentecost reminds us not to neglect the divine invitation to the marriage feast and to come prepared wearing our wedding garment symbolizing grace.  Clothed as a new man we will put aside sin and follow the commandments.  Today is also the feast of St. Jerome, the translator of our missal texts and patron of Scripture study.  This then provided an opportunity to refute several attacks against Catholics concerning the Bible.

Do Not Be Paralyzed By Sin

September 23, 2018By

18th Sunday after Pentecost 2018
St. Paul’s Epistle for the Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost tells us the importance of the grace of God which the Holy Ghost gives us many times each day.  We should never neglect these daily opportunities and we should use them to fight off the devil and his temptations.  We should not let sin paralyze us.  The Gospel is a beautiful account which shows the authentic mercy of God.  We should ask our angels to help us pray and repent.

Prevenient And Concomitant Grace

September 9, 2018By

16th Sunday after Pentecost 2018 Conference
The Collect of the Mass for the Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost is a concise and direct statement about another beautiful aspect of the doctrine on grace.  The realization of this teaching will make us better appreciate how much we depend on God for the littlest supernatural act we perform – no matter how easy and even connatural it seems to us.  St. Paul’s Epistle shows us the principle that is God, namely, that Goodness is self-diffusive and more so the closer we are to It.

God Hears The Humble

August 19, 2018By

13th Sunday after Pentecost 2018

This Mass for the 13th Sunday after Pentecost begins with a prayer to God that He hear us and this presumes that we are humble. To reach Heaven requires our prayer and spiritual reading lest we become the playthings of the devil.  God showers His graces and gifts on us so we can reach happiness with Him at the end of our lives.  He also gives these so we can share them with others on their road to Heaven, too.

Fifth Sunday after Easter 2018 – First Communion Sunday
The Church on this last Sunday after Easter recalls the great joy of the Resurrection.  The Epistle from St. James exhorts us to put the Faith into action and not be idle hearers of the word.  In the Gospel Our Lord instructs His apostles to pray to the Father in His Name.  The First Communicants for today were given their final preparations before receiving Our Lord.  They also learned about the Scapular and Miraculous Medal which they will receive after Mass.

Tap Into Her Heart

April 9, 2018By

Feast Of The Annunciation 2018
This year the Annunciation is celebrated after Easter.  Our feast recalls the moment when the ever Virgin Mary became the Mother of God.  All the details of this Gospel account took place in her home which is known as the holiest place on earth.  In penetrating this mystery from inside the Blessed Mother, we see how great was her virginal/maternal heart which was so generous, courageous, faithful, trusting and loving.  We, especially the young, should reach into her heart and use these qualities on our road to heaven.

Palm Sunday 2018
Palm Sunday is an encapsulation of all of Holy Week as the triumph of the Resurrection is seen with the entry of Our Lord into the Holy City and the sacrifice of the Cross in the Passion.  We must not waste this week nor be distracted.  We can win souls to Christ by imitating the virtues Jesus showed on this day: humility, meekness and obedience.

We Die The Way We Live

3rd Sunday in Lent 2018
We learn in the Mass texts not to let evil enter our thoughts, words or deeds.  This is so we live every moment purely and for God.  Then we are prepared for the last moment when we receive the grace of perseverance efficaciously.  As the good works of Jesus were criticized in the Gospel, so we must also overcome discouragement during our Lenten practices.  We must remember the saints who were like us sinners but who trusted in God and were victorious.
