A Gift For The Unworthy

October 6, 2013By

Sermon From The
20th Sunday after Pentecost 2013
We must thank God for the invaluable gift of the Holy Catholic Faith.  We are not worthy of this gift.  The smallest increase of Faith is a greater gift than the possession of the whole world.  Reason cannot find Faith, it is a gift directly from God.  If miracles could make us believe, then even Christ’s enemies would have believed in Him.  If we do not appreciate our Faith it will be taken from us.  God made us to pray.  Our friends and enemies depend on us and our prayers.  God gave us the Faith so that we may pray for the salvation of our neighbor.

St. Francis & St. Thérèse

October 4, 2013By

Conference On
First Friday October 2013
St. Francis is greatly misunderstood in our day but was, in fact, a true son of the Church.  By his words and example, he made innumerable converts.  The Gospel for the Mass of his feast day emphasizes his charity.  He was an utterly selfless man.  The Little Flower, St. Thérèse, despite all the differences between her life and St. Francis’, shared many similarities to him in spirit.  She promised to spend her Heaven doing good on Earth.  Poverty of spirit makes one recognize his nothingness.  We must remember that sometimes God sends us suffering to open our eyes to the truth.

Watch For The Signs

November 20, 2011By

Last Sunday after Pentecost 2011
Death comes to us all, and at the moment of our death judgment is passed instantaneously.  No longer distracted by the material world, the soul is given a direct intuition of its state in the eyes of God and its eternal abode is fixed forever.  The Holy Souls thirst for our prayers, because they are utterly incapable of helping themselves anymore.

The end of the world is spoken of by Christ more than any other topic.  No matter what happens in the times to come, we must maintain trust in God, knowing that He will not let anything happen to the souls of His friends.  The reason there will be a General Judgment is because every sin has a public aspect to it, and God’s justice must be vindicated publicly.  God gives us signs predicting the end of time to console the just and frighten the wicked, and we must be able to recognize these nine signs, so we may know when our judgment is at hand.
