To Bear Our Fruit in Due Season

July 27, 2025By

7th Sunday after Pentecost 2025

The main theme of this Mass is the tree and the fruit it bears.  When we practice good works, we bear good fruit and edify our neighbor, but if we practice evil, we bear bad fruit and scandalize our neighbor.  Our Lord warns us to beware of false prophets and tells us to judge them by their fruits.  Immodesty among Catholics offends the Sacred Heart of Jesus and is a temptation to our neighbor, so we must strive to remain always modest, especially during the heat of summer.  It is important for all Catholics to read the lives of the saints so we might imitate their virtues and become “the tree planted beside the water, which bears fruit in due season.”

Baptized in His Death

July 20, 2025By

6th Sunday After Pentecost 2025
This beautiful Mass refers to us when it speaks of the faithful who have come to hear the word of God.  Our Lord has compassion on our weakness and provides us with the Bread of Life to sustain us.  The Body and Blood of Christ is only for the baptized who are united to Our Lord through grace.  We have a solemn duty to preserve sanctifying grace in our souls.  No longer are we under the slavery of the devil but rather true children of God.  Our Lord and His Mother demonstrate unbounded solicitude for our salvation.  Our Lord conquered death and sin by His Sacrifice on the Cross, and it is by that death that we are given life.

Slow To Anger

July 13, 2025By

5th Sunday After Pentecost 2025
We should read the account of the martyrdom of St. Speratus and his companions from the year A.D. 180, which recounts the uncompromising heroism of the faithful in the early Church.

Catholics should represent Heaven on Earth.  Most of the world has never heard of the State of Grace, yet we have been given the privilege of possessing it.  While we remain in Sanctifying Grace, we are intimately tied to the Trinity and are part of the army of Christ.

This Mass warns us against the sin of anger and how it first grows in our mind before it is expressed in action.  Holy Scripture has many warnings against the capital sin of anger.  However, anger is a passion and is meant to be used only for a good purpose.  As with all passions, the use of anger should be directed by prudence.

A Warning for Vocations

July 6, 2025By

4th Sunday after Pentecost 2025

In today’s Epistle, St Paul speaks of the curse placed on all creation due to the fall of Adam.  All creatures desire to be freed of this curse.  With great hope, we look forward to the day when our bodies will be glorified and our adoption as sons of God complete.

The initial call of St. Peter in the Gospel account for today teaches us valuable lessons about the pursuit of a vocation.  The devil will do everything in his power to prevent a man from becoming a priest.  He frequently tempts the soul to delay his vocation needlessly, to substitute a vocation with a less-perfect life, or to be paralyzed by a feeling of unworthiness.  These temptations, as well as other attacks from the devil, can be expected by all who consider offering their life to God, and it is only through prayer and confident reliance on Our Lord’s assistance that one can persevere towards such a lofty calling.

No Longer Servants But Friends

June 29, 2025By

Feast of Saints Peter & Paul 2025

Priestly Ordinations

During the ordination ceremony, it is as if Heaven is opening as our Divine Savior unites with the ordinands and fuses them to His priestly Nature.  From that moment, the new priests are able to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, to renew all the divine mysteries of the Faith through the liturgy, to forgive sin, to govern, to teach, to baptize, to bring souls to Heaven.  The priest is called Father because he provides life to the people and spiritually nourishes them.  The Laity should look at the priest and see the likeness of Christ.  By the physical transformation of the soul through Holy Orders, for all eternity, the priest is now a relative – a brother – of Our Lord.

Have We Rejected the Invitation?

June 22, 2025By

2nd Sunday after Pentecost 2025
The so-called “Theology of the Body” is contrary to the Churches teaching.  We know from Our Lord’s own words that there will be no marriage in Heaven.  During the summer we must remember that are bodies are temples of the Holy Ghost, and we must practice modesty.
The priest wears the liturgical color of green because this season is full of hope.  There is a great feast set for us, but it is up to us to partake.  God generously invites us but if we are “too busy” then He will invite those more worthy.  When witnessing the devotion of those who have recently discover the Latin Mass, we should ask ourselves if we appreciate it as they do. The Holy Eucharist and the Sacred Heart are the great antidotes to tepidity.

A Necessary Feast

June 19, 2025By

Feast of Corpus Christi 2025
Our Lord Himself expressed the need for the institution of this feast.  It was necessary from both a liturgical point of view and for the spiritual life of all the faithful.  We are unable to celebrate properly this greatest of all sacraments on Holy Thursday, because it is overshadowed by the sorrow of Christ’s Passion.  At the beginning of our spiritual journey following the feast of Pentecost, this day points us to the greatest aid we are given to achieve our last end – the Blessed Sacrament.  We are brought into the Faith because of the Holy Eucharist, we grow in the Faith because of It, and receiving Holy Communion is the promise of our future glory.  This sacrament, like the manna from Heaven, strengthens us throughout that arduous sojourn in the desert of our lives.

In The Presence Of The Trinity

June 15, 2025By

Trinity Sunday 2025
When we recall the words of Christ, “I have come to do the Will of My Father,” we need only look at the crucifix to see the love God the Father has for us.  He was willing to sacrifice His Son to save us.  We are privileged to know about the mystery of the Holy Trinity, which we could not know without God revealing it to us.  Although most of the Bible does not speak of it directly, belief in this dogma has been handed down through Sacred Tradition.  This mystery was revealed to us because we are meant to live every day in the presence of the Trinity, constantly contemplating Him dwelling within our souls.  We cannot reason to the existence of the Holy Trinity, because it requires faith.  It is only after making this act of faith that we can express our love for our Triune God.

The Birthday of the Church

June 8, 2025By

Pentecost Sunday 2025
The Holy Ghost is often referred to as the “forgotten Person of the Trinity.”  However, without Him we would have no Church.  When Our Lord died on the Cross all the merits He won remained within Him, and it was only when He opened the gates of Heaven that all those merits could be shared with us.  All that He won is dispensed to us during the visible reign of the Holy Spirit.  Today the Church made its first physical appearance in the world.  The Apostles gathered with the Virgin Mary in the Upper Room, where the first Mass had been offered, and prayed for nine days in preparation for the coming of the Holy Ghost.  A miraculous wind drew crowds of thousands to the very first church.  The appearance of the tongues of fire expressed the consuming fire of God’s love.  The ultimate gift of the Holy Ghost is for each of us to be filled with the very love God has for Himself.

An Audience With The Almighty

July 28, 2024By

10th Sunday after Pentecost 2024
Today’s liturgy is directed towards the proud.  St. Paul corrects the Corinthians who took pride in the gifts given to them by God and reminds them that these gifts are for the assistance of our neighbor.  An imperfect form of humility begins with a focus on self – our weakness, dependence, and need.  A more perfect humility remains focused on God and acknowledges both our gifts and shortcomings, without allowing pride to enter.  With prayer we can obtain true humility.  God offers us an audience at all times of the day or night.  Without asking Him for the graces necessary, we will not obtain salvation, but when we pray in all humility, we invite His assistance into our lives.
