1st Sunday Of Advent 2017
Advent is a time of penance and this year it is a shorter season to prepare for Christmas. We need to appreciate everyday as a gift enabling us to pray and grow in spiritual progress. Ask the Blessed Mother and the saints to help us in this important task.

First Friday December 2017
In this conference, the beautiful and consoling teaching of the Church on Indulgences is explained. Beginning with the early Church we see how the treasury of merits won by Christ, His Blessed Mother and the saints was opened for the benefit of sinners. The errors of the Reformation in distorting this doctrine are touched upon and practical steps are given to avail ourselves of Indulgences in our daily lives.

Last Sunday after Pentecost 2017
As we conclude the liturgical year, we should still be praying for the Holy Souls in Purgatory while examining our lives to test whether or not we have grown in love of God and neighbor. Christ in today’s Gospel prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem and the end of the world. He warns us to be ready always and to avoid any false Christs and false prophets who are people and organizations that are not Catholic.

Despite the tone of mourning and sorrow the Church has infused this Mass on All Souls Day with hope. The reason for this is explained by the teachings of our Faith about Purgatory where those who have died as imperfect friends of God are purified of the obstacles that impede their entrance into heaven. This devotion is ancient in the Church and in history and the liturgical expression of it is examined. Finally, the saints are cited for their insights.

Pray for the faithful departed, especially those from this chapel. We must appreciate how perfectly pure and reverent one needs to be in order to enter Gods presence. Holy Souls are in peace and depend on the living to be purified. Have mercy on them because the hand of the Lord has touched them. Have Masses offered for them. Our known vices must be eliminated now with merit or else they will be the cause of our punishment without merit. A word to the wise is sufficient.

10th Sunday after Pentecost
In today’s Gospel about the Pharisee and the Publican Our Lord taught a valuable lesson to those who trusted in themselves and despised others. The teaching concerned having a humble estimation of ourselves which would thereby prepare us for the glories of heaven because those who humble themselves shall be exalted.

Second Sunday in Lent 2017
The Transfiguration of Our Lord showed Him in all His Glory and it was an event that at first frightened the apostles, then reassured them in the Faith. The Voice from Heaven, “This is My Beloved Son, hear ye Him,” shook the apostles to their very core. We must realize that we ourselves will be transfigured and that our bodies will be glorified if we persevere in the Faith and have the humility necessary to enter Our Lord’s Kingdom after our physical death on this earth. Peter, James and John were selected to give us a glimpse of what awaits us if we are faithful and have the humility to accept whatever Judgment is conferred on us when we ourselves meet Our Lord in His Glory.

Conference From
First Friday November 2014
To teach, rule, and sanctify are the three powers priests must employ to accomplish their purpose on earth. Through preaching the priest shares the fruits of all he knows. In ruling the priest is able to organize society according to the principals of the Church. By sanctifying the priest makes the people truly holy. The priest is called “Father,” because he gives life by healing and restoring the faithful. The priest should offer all, especially the Mass, for the remission of sins. God chose men, not angels, to be priests, because men know sin and can offer compassion to their fellow sinners. But despite knowing sin, no one on earth has a greater obligation to perfection than the priest. Priests belong entirely to Christ and must possess His mind and will.
