God Is Love

May 27, 2018By

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.

Live By Love Not Fear

July 30, 2017By

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.

Forewarned Is Forearmed

July 23, 2017By

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.

Sacrament Sunday

July 16, 2017By

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.

Seek Peace And Pursue It

July 9, 2017By

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.

The Feast Of The Hail Mary

July 2, 2017By

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.

I Shall Reign Despite My Enemies

June 25, 2017By

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.

What Is Fatherhood?

June 14, 2017By

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.

Don’t Be A Summer Soldier

June 11, 2017By

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.

Mother’s Day

May 14, 2017By

Fourth Sunday after Easter 2017

This Mass prepares us for the upcoming feasts of the Ascension and Pentecost when Our Lord returns to heaven and sends the Holy Ghost.  This day is also a secular holiday in which we honor our mothers.  Falling as it does during the month of May our thoughts naturally turn to our heavenly Mother and all that she has done for us.  A tangible sign of this comes under her title of “Queen of Peace” which was added to her litany and soon afterwards led to her apparitions at Fatima and the end of the first World War.
