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.

17th Sunday after Pentecost 2018
The 17th Sunday after Pentecost is a Mass about humility and how this virtue points to our faults and not to our neighbor’s. This year it follows the feasts of the Holy Cross and Seven Sorrows which remind us of the gifts from God like His Cross and Blessed Mother. We should seek to appreciate these especially as we have them in the Holy Mass. Would we not travel around the globe to attend just one Mass? Then we should love and cherish every Mass we attend.

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.

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.
Feast Of The Assumption 2018
The Assumption is the prerogative of our Blessed Mother which fixes Her in heaven, body and soul, as the Star which leads us home as the Star of the Sea (Stella Maris) did for early sailors. In the midst of the darkness of this life, we always have the hope of salvation because we see the Blessed Virgin Mary shining glorious and beckoning us to Heaven. The apparition of Our Lady of the Willow is a heart-warming reminder of Her maternal solicitude for each of us, especially those most in need of her mercy.

4th Sunday after Pentecost 2018
The humility of St. Peter in the Gospel is a virtue we all must practice as a promise of heaven. We should be as attentive as possible at Mass so we can pray well. We witness the death of Our Lord again during the Holy Sacrifice and we hear His last words “into Thy hands I commend My spirit”.

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.

Conference On Passion Sunday 2018
In this conference we learn about the upcoming feast of St. Joseph. His greatest titles are Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Foster Father of the Son of God. God the Father entrusted His Divine Son to the care of St. Joseph whose virginal paternity was a perfect image of the Begetting of the Son by the Father. The true marriage of St. Joseph to Our Lady is the foundation of his relationship through her with Jesus Christ. He is protector of the Church and universal patron of all our needs.
