Christmas 2018 MidnightÂ
Christmas brings joy to all the people of the world despite any attempts to thwart it. So along with the sorrows around us nothing prevents God dwelling among us. We hope in God that He will save us and exercise His Kingship in a society devoted to His Royal and Davidic line. The Mass texts re-enforce this through their own prayerful considerations.

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.

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.

Octave Day of Nativity 2018
The Sacred Liturgy, like nature itself, anticipates great feasts, celebrates them and only gradually leaves them. So Christmas has its First Vespers, its three Masses and then a week to relish the reality of the Incarnation before renewing the mystery again on its octave day, today. We also have the recalling of Our Lord’s circumcision on this day when He first shed His Blood for our salvation and we profess our love and devotion to the Blessed Mother for her divine maternity and perpetual virginity. Today we are grateful for all this and we consign our past to God’s mercy and live in the present moment by God’s grace. We entrust the future to God’s Providence and use prayer, reflection and counsel to know His signified Will and His Will of good pleasure. We will achieve the tranquility of order in the coming days by knowing and following God’s plan for us.

Christmas 2017 Midnight Mass
Against the world’s propaganda, we proclaim the truth of Christmas that the Son of God became man and was born in Bethlehem of the ever Virgin Mary who remained a virgin physically and morally before, during and after the birth of her Son. Christ did this first for the glory of His Father and then to give Himself to us. This union of the divine and human natures in the Person of the Word is a supreme act of humility that will last for as long as God is God. As Jesus showed us the way by becoming a little Infant, so we must heed His words that unless we become as little children we will not enter the enter the kingdom of heaven.

Vigil Of Christmas 2017
At the vigil Mass the joy of Christmas is already felt and this happy way that we receive the Infant King reassures us that His second coming will not be a harsh one for us. On this last day of Advent St. Joseph is brought before us as the worthy descendant of David who will protect the Blessed Mother from scandal, hardship and from the devil. Our receiving this “Bread from Heaven” will ease our burdens in this life.

Feast Of The Annunciation 2017
The Son of God became a Man at the Annunciation and so began His priesthood as the mediator between God and men. At the same time, Our Lady became the Mother of God.  This could only take place because, as St. Gabriel the Archangel said, “nothing is impossible with God”. Virginity and Maternity were joined miraculously and the Blessed Mother lived a life of trust in God that made her magnanimous and munificent. Devotion and imitation of her will enable anyone to overcome any challenge in fulfilling God’s Will.
