Passion Sunday 2024 Saint Patrick stood for the true God against the pagans in Ireland.

Laetare Sunday 2024 We celebrate the midpoint of the season of Lent by looking forward to the glory to come. The way we pray is the way we believe, which is why Catholic worship has been so attacked by the enemy. A golden rose would be blessed and anointed on this day by the pope…
3rd Sunday in Lent 2024 As children imitate their parents, so must we imitate God. When St. Paul in this Epistle says, “how unbecoming of saints,” he is not referring to canonized saints, but all Catholics. We are all called to sanctity. We must battle the temptations about which St. Paul speaks by the Rosary,…
2nd Sunday in Lent 2024 St. Paul calls us to make “even greater progress,” but in order to do so, we must begin attacking our habits of venial sin. Mortal sins kill the soul, but venial sins are the great obstacle to sanctification. These lesser sins can easily be overlooked if we are not on…
1st Sunday in Lent 2024 We are particularly the objects of temptation during this season in which God is calling us to sanctity.

Quinquagesima Sunday 2024 Abraham is our patron today. His willingness to sacrifice his only begotten son was a type of the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. In today’s Gospel, the Apostles did not understand Our Lord’s words. To remove any doubts, Jesus performed the miracle of curing the blind man, demonstrating His divine power. We also…
Sexagesima Sunday 2024 St. Gregory tells us that this Gospel needs no explanation, because Our Lord explained it Himself. We must ask ourselves, are we the “good ground” or are we the “bad ground”? It is a dogma of our Faith that everyone, without discrimination, is given the chance to be saved. If we are…
Septuagesima Sunday 2024 These next three Sundays are for an examination of conscience, in which we search out those things in our soul which make us enemies of God. Today we begin with a view of creation and the fall of man. Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden because they did…
