Crave The Eucharist
Holy Thursday 2021
St. Paul warns us in the Epistle not to abuse Our Lord by receiving Him sacrilegiously in Holy Communion. This is especially so because the Holy Eucharist is the greatest gift God has given us and the sign of His love for us. To betray this love is like the kiss of Judas. The Mandatum is part of the ceremony and this is Christ’s commandment of love which He taught the apostles by His own example. In giving us Himself in the Holy Eucharist Our Lord asks us to love Him in return. We have many heroic ancestors to follow who inspire us when we experience our own difficulties in returning love for love. Eucharistic miracles are God’s frequent way of proving the truth of the Faith and with all these aids we should not be discouraged.

His Infinite Suffering
Palm Sunday 2020
Holy Week begins with Our Lord’s triumphal entrance into His city, Jerusalem. The outpouring of fervor by the pilgrims there for the Passover was increased by the recent raising of Lazarus from the dead. The city, which did not welcome Him when the Magi came and announced His birth, did so now in such a way that His foes were left feeling powerless. All would change by the end of the week and today’s liturgy shows that as well with the Passion. First Communion today is an opportunity to receive Our Lord as the children of the Hebrews did many years ago.

Let Me Praise You, O Holy Virgin
Palm Sunday 2021
In response to a recent statement that the Virgin Mary’s title of Co-Redemptrix is “foolishness” we have this special message. It is a brief and powerful defense of our Blessed Mother’s title of Co-Redemptrix with a simple explanation of its meaning and how important it is for the Church’s prayer and life.

She Is In Bitter Grief
Good Friday 2020
The Church mourns the death of God in an even more dramatic way this year. The Solemn Liturgical Action expresses this loss through the Passion of St. John and the two prophecies. Then we join with Christ on the Cross for His universal prayers for all. We venerate our means of salvation by reverencing the Holy Cross and finally we join with our Savior in Holy Communion. All of this inspires us to return the Divine Love of the Sacred Heart which shed every drop of the Precious Blood for us and to convert from sin which exacted such cruelty upon our innocent Lord.

Restore The Holy Eucharist
Holy Thursday 2020
We celebrate the anniversaries of the institution of the sacrifice of the Holy Mass and the sacraments of the Holy Eucharist and Holy Orders today. The Mass is the central act and purpose for the Church which Christ commanded at the Last Supper to be offered and from it flows Our Lord’s Real Presence among us in the Blessed Sacrament. He is our Food and the reason for the joy and freedom we experience even at the worst of times. The Priesthood was established to accomplish this until the end of time. St. John Vianney said that love of the Mass and the priesthood are signs of predestination. Priests must cherish these things most of all. St. Paul in the Epistle warns that our infirmities are caused because of the neglect of the Holy Eucharist. These mysterious days in which we are living have as their root cause the mistreatment of Our Lord in the most sacred sacrament of the altar.

Jesus, Come To Me, Embrace Me
Palm Sunday 2020
While unable to attend Mass, we must be more devout at home, especially by practicing spiritual communion. The Indwelling of the Blessed Trinity and the action of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost in our souls will inspire us. That type of inspiration is what moved the people in Jerusalem to proclaim Our Lord King today; although they cried for His death less than a week later. The palm is a sign of victory and why it was used to welcome Christ into the Holy City. It is a pledge of our victory today.

Deliver Us, O Lord
Passion Sunday 2020
The last two weeks of Lent are the most sacred and have a special name, Passiontide. In today’s Gospel, Our Lord proclaimed His Divinity with the result that He had to hide from those who wanted to stone Him. The Church incorporates this into Passiontide by hiding Christ and all the reminders of Him by veiling the Crucifix and statues. This year it is more dramatic because many are unable to even come to the chapel. Given these circumstances we should unite more than ever with the texts of this Mass and cry out for deliverance. We should practice prayer, especially the Rosary, and all the exercises of the spiritual life with renewed purpose so as to strengthen ourselves, with God’s grace, during this present crisis and for the future.

Saviors Of The World
Easter Vigil 2019
God created on the first day of the week at midnight, He was born at midnight and we keep vigil now waiting for His rising at midnight. All the infinite merits of Christ’s Passion and Death were won on the Cross but only applied to us when He rose from the dead and now distributes these treasures through the Liturgy. This vigil has us renew our baptismal vows and witness a Baptism. All this prepares us for the Easter Mass when we offer our sacrifice with Christ and unite with Him in Holy Communion, the foretaste of heavenly glory.
