Humility Of All The Saints

November 1, 2021By Servants Of The Holy Family

All Saints Day 2021
The Church always celebrated groups of saints and today’s feast includes all the saints. In the seventh century the pagan Pantheon was consecrated to God and the relics of the saints in the catecombs were brought to this temple for veneration and honoring. God gave this feast so we thank Him for the saints, we can imitate them, implore their intercession and make reparation for any dishonor shown them or the angels. If worldlings work so hard following their pagan ideals why can’t Christians work as hard to love God as He deserves? Humility is the secret of the saints and the law of mercy.

God Is The Solution

October 10, 2021By Servants Of The Holy Family

20th Sunday After Pentecost 2021
It is important not to waste time especially with today’s technology which causes many distractions. It is more common now for people to be depressed, sad and lonely more than at other times in the past. This is because they are not looking to God and the Blessed Mother. Especially during this month, we should turn to the Holy Rosary which has many consoling promises attached to its recitation. We should frequent the sacraments like Penance after making an examination of conscience and we should attend Mass with reverence and attention.

Vessel Of Election

Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary 2021
Profession of Sr. Josepha

All profession days are beautiful moments for our religious communities and for the people. Today is also unique and reminiscent of Jesus’ words about St. Paul at his conversion, “I will teach him to suffer for My Name”. This joyful day is also a pure and perfect sacrifice in union with Our Lord on the Cross. The means of this oblation are the evangelical vows of poverty, chastity and obedience that were professed this morning before Mass. These are counsels from the Gospel which are for those called to embrace them and who are generous in doing so. All the baptized must live the spirit of the vows but religious practice them. Now begins the work of living the interior life deeply and thereby becoming a fruitful spouse of Christ. There is much to learn about the theological virtues and the vows but the Sacred Heart and the Blessed Mother will be your guides. Be stout-hearted because the Lord is your light and salvation and He will never forget you.

Dormition Of Mary

August 15, 2021By Servants Of The Holy Family

Assumption Of The Blessed Virgin 2021
Pope Pius XII during of the Holy Year of 1950 proclaimed the dogma that the Blessed Mother at the end of Her earthly life was taken body and soul into Heaven. This overdue definition was not a new revelation but something given to the Church through the Apostles. Dating from those days is an apocryphal account which describes in detail what happened at this momentous event of Our Lady’s Assumption. Present day archaeology has unearthed the tomb used for Mary’s brief “sleep” before Her glorious entrance into Heaven. There are many reasons for the bestowal of this honor but this is a touching one: how could our Heavenly Mother care for us, Her children, without having Her heart with Her to do so? Do not hesitate to approach such a Mother, even to ask for miracles.

This Is God’s Blood

July 1, 2021By Servants Of The Holy Family

Precious Blood 2021
This feast was instituted by Pope Pius IX even before the liberation of Rome from the Freemasons in thanksgiving for the Church’s deliverance from these forces of evil. The Blood of Christ was pre-figured in the Old Testament starting with Saint Abel. The power of the Precious Blood is infinite and the least drop would save countless worlds so the greatness of God’s love is shown by His shedding every drop for our salvation. We receive His Blood whenever we receive Holy Communion and are meant to be overwhelmed by His love. St. Hildegard, a twelfth century mystic, saw how the Mass was celebrated with angels in attendance and how the chalice holding the Precious Blood was specially honored.

Faith Without Works Is Dead

May 9, 2021By Servants Of The Holy Family

Fifth Sunday After Easter 2021

This Thursday is the Ascension and then we begin the novena to the Holy Ghost. We also have several important saints this week. St. James has been a prominent apostle during Paschal time through his epistle and today he teaches that our love of God and neighbor is shown by the practice of good works. The Gospel is another instruction to the apostles in preparation for Our Lord’s departure and His sending of the Holy Ghost. Today is also Mother’s Day and a time for us to honor our own mothers and especially our heavenly mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Good Example

April 25, 2021By Servants Of The Holy Family

Third Sunday after Easter 2021
Today is also the feast of St. Mark the Evangelist and the day for the Greater Litanies, which are more ancient than St. Mark’s day. St. Peter in the Epistle is asking the faithful to practice the Faith and thereby be models for non-Catholics and poor Catholics. He reminds us of practicing the virtue of obedience before God and our neighbors. Our good example and brief words, not preaching, convert others. The story of a priest simply asking a girl “not to hurt God” is a wonderful case in point.

Gospel Of Faith

April 11, 2021By Servants Of The Holy Family

Low Sunday 2021
The Easter Octave is completed today and our recently baptized neophytes put aside their baptismal garments and now begin the life as one of the faithful. This is particularly done by following Our Lord in the Liturgy in our prayers. The Paschal candle is Christ with us now and lights the way in appreciating His Resurrection. The Faith is all important and essential. Today’s Gospel teaches us how we must approach this gift with humility knowing we cannot achieve this by our own power. This theological virtue which has God as source and goal will lead us to heaven one day.
