4th Sunday after Pentecost 2018
The humility of St. Peter in the Gospel is a virtue we all must practice as a promise of heaven. We should be as attentive as possible at Mass so we can pray well. We witness the death of Our Lord again during the Holy Sacrifice and we hear His last words “into Thy hands I commend My spirit”.

Trinity Sunday 2018
The beautiful feast of the Blessed Trinity dates from the fourteenth century and not from the Apostles. The importance of a special celebration in honor of this most fundamental revelation of the Christian dispensation was increased through the centuries by heresies like Arianism. Although we can come to the knowledge of the truth and reason to the reality of the existence of God we can never figure out that God is Three in One. This doctrine is so sacred that it was reserved to the Son of God to reveal it while He walked on earth. We must love the God of love in return.

8th Sunday after Pentecost 2017
The Introit for this Mass speaks of the beautiful temple which was a faint image of the church wherein Our Lord is present. Yet God loves us and not just a building. He is our Father and loves us like that. Prayer enables us to feel God’s presence in our lives and make us long for our home in heaven. Sin is the horrific obstacle which can block that path and defile us. More is expected of us than the pagans because greater love is demanded of us because we have received greater gifts.

7th Sunday after Pentecost 2017
During the current crisis a spirit of normalcy has pervaded this chapel but it is good to remember that we are in the midst of a tremendous struggle for the Christian world order and the salvation of souls. Parents have a particular responsibility in preparing their children well to live in this society while not being dragged down by it.

6th Sunday after Pentecost 2017
After learning about the saints this week, particularly St. Mary Magdalen, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and the brown scapular were explained.  This Sunday’s Mass is concerned with the Easter Sacraments of Baptism and the Holy Eucharist which are the thoughts found in the Epistle and Gospel. The Blessed Sacrament will strengthen us throughout life and we must always pray that we be preserved from a sudden and unprovided death in the end.

5th Sunday after Pentecost 2017
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.

4th Sunday after Pentecost 2017
The Bible records the greetings of St. Gabriel at the Annunciation and St. Elizabeth at the Visitation which the Church has combined into the beautiful prayer of the Hail Mary. July 2nd commemorates the Blessed Mother generously traveling to assist her cousin during the final months before the birth of St. John the Baptist. We should imitate Our Lady whenenver God calls us and we should instruct our children to do the same while learning to be humble and grateful.

3rd Sunday after Pentecost 2017
There is a social dimension concerning devotion to the Sacred Heart which comes from Our Lord’s petition to King Louis XIV through St. Margaret Mary that he place the image of Christ’s Heart on his personal royal banner. This sermon also explains the pursuing love of Our Savior through His mercy as described in the parables of the Lost Sheep, Lost Coin and Prodigal Son.

2nd Sunday after Pentecost 2017
On Father’s Day we learn that the vocation of fatherhood comes from God the Father. From today’s Epistle St. John teaches us about Divine Love and from the Gospel St. Luke teaches us about the Mass and the Holy Eucharist.

Trinity Sunday 2017
The teaching about the Blessed Trinity and Its Indwelling in the faithful is the hallmark of the Catholic Faith and necessary for salvation. The realization of this Truth should inspire us to be true soldiers of Christ as confirmed Christians and exercise it by participating in the feast of Corpus Christi, for example. The lukewarm imperil their own salvation by not becoming fervent.
