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.
Ash Wednesday 2018 In 1741 the pope declared that Lent is the true sign of the Christian fighting for his salvation by means of penance through fasting which is understood by the receiving of the sacramental of ashes today. The entire Septuagesima season focused our attention on sin and our identifying the predominant fault we want to eradicate now. We begin our forty days of prayers, almsgiving and fasting with confidence that God will hear our plea and forgive us as He did with the Ninivites at the preaching of the prophet Jonas.
The feast of Christ The King sums up our faith in the Incarnate God and makes us pray “Thy Kingdom Come.” As good subjects we should know the catechism, pray and give ourselves in return for the divine self sacrifice of Our Lord. We have the examples of the saints who have done so and were the means of the miraculous in this world. Such are needed today when Christianity faces its bleakest future.
The season after Pentecost is the time for sanctity. We should grow in love of God and of neighbor (which is the measure of love of God). Today’s Mass warns against the obstacle that anger presents in accomplishing this goal. Although a natural passion, anger easily becomes inordinate and sinful because of the effects of original sin. Combating the first motions of anger will turn us from this vice and then we should turn to prayer instead and gain the peace that comes from a holy life.
There are so many people in the world who sincerely wish to participate in a feast like today but are not able. We should be all the more grateful that we have been given this privilege. As the liturgical year comes to its conclusion, representing the end of time, this feast reminds us that on that final day all nations will be compelled to recognize the supreme dominion of Christ over the entire world and stands as a warning to all those who refuse to do so now. The feast of All Saints celebrates those who were loyal subjects to their King during this life. This feast was meant to combat secularism, which is so widespread in our society. The “state” has taken the place of God in our world. However, religion is not a private matter, and it is of the very nature of man to practice religion, and publicly so. Christ is King because He is God and deserves our obedience and adoration. Christ is also man and through His Grace of Headship He unites all creation in His very being. It is through glorifying our King we gain our ultimate happiness. #20121028
