A Share In His Strength

August 4, 2024By

11th Sunday after Pentecost 2024
Confirmation Sunday August 2024 – In Confirmation one receives a character, an increase of sanctifying grace, as well as special sacramental grace.  Through this sacrament we receive a greater share in Christ’s strength and victory on the cross.  Those confirmed are now adults in the Faith and are enabled to defend the Church publicly.  Confirmation is known as the Sacrament of the Holy Ghost because through it we are given a perfection of His seven gifts.  The Holy Ghost is the Person of Love and, if we pray for it, He will give us a share of the bond of union which exists among the Persons of the Trinity.

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.

His Battle Is Continued In Us

September 29, 2023By

Feast of St. Michael 2023
Devotion to St. Michael predates the Church herself.  In the Old Testament he was the protector of God’s people and now he is the protector of the Catholic Church.  St. Michael is truly a universal devotion and can be found throughout the centuries in both the Eastern and Western Church.  We should imitate the priest and call upon the help of this great Archangel at every Mass to protect us against temptations in our prayers.  St. Michael defends those who are loyal to Christ, but he will justly punish the proud.

Concerning The Pope

September 24, 2023By

Q&A Conference September 2023
The question of the validity of the current pontificate has come to the fore more than ever because of its great importance for Catholics.  The danger of schism and the principle that no Catholic is capable of officially judging the pope are the reasons why one must be very careful and ensure he is taking the safest path on this matter.  Although a person may possess the intellectual competency to have a personal belief about the validity of the current pontificate, one must have the authoritative competency to make a definitive statement on behalf of the Church.

Instruction To The Youth

September 24, 2023By

Q&A Conference September 2023
Children can sometimes be crueler than adults and hurt feelings can last a lifetime.  If we are hardhearted in the way we treat others, God will punish us.  We must beware of gossip.  Young men should be particularly careful with the feelings of young girls.  And young girls should look in the mirror honestly and clothe themselves in a manner that is flattering rather than revealing.  It is the personality that makes friends. We change a great deal externally as we grow older, but a good heart remains.

The Lowest of God’s Creatures

September 17, 2023By

16th Sunday after Pentecost 2023
St. Joseph of Cupertino is truly one of the greatest saints.  His holiness and miracles were undeniable.  Our goal should be to speak more frequently with God, because this is prayer.  When we are in the state of grace, we love God more than we love ourselves.  Nothing else matters but love.  Our intellect and will separate us from the animals.  If not for God’s grace we would have no virtue, goodness, or kindness.  We must remember that we are the worst and lowest of God’s creatures.  This is how we gain Heaven.

Blessed Are Those Who Mourn

September 15, 2023By

Feast of the Seven Sorrows 2023
All of Our Lord’s acts had infinite value because He is God.  The Blessed Virgin Mary is called the Associate of Redemption by her union of friendship, love, and emotion.  She has an intimate union with God.  We all weep, because we are injured, or mistreated, or ignored, or misunderstood, etc.  Sometimes we weep for love.  Love can be the greatest source of pain.  We see how much the saints suffered for love.  One of the reasons why Our Lady wept on Calvary is because of the loss of so many souls whom she loved so deeply.

The Wood Made Holy

Exaltation of the Holy Cross 2023
It was through the tree that sin entered the world, and it is through the tree of the Cross that all things are purified.  The brazen serpent of Moses was a prefiguring of the Cross.  The sign of death becomes the sign of salvation.  We must learn our lessons from the liturgy.  The Introit tells us to glory in this Cross.  We are different from the others who believe the Cross is foolishness.  We only learn the mystery of the Cross through humility.  Just as the name of Jesus is exalted through His humility, our names too will be written in the book of life.

Do Not Weep

September 10, 2023By

15th Sunday after Pentecost 2023
No other religion has produced saints as the Catholic Church has.  The greatest mark of the Church is her holiness.  Discretion is one of the best ways to practice charity.  It allows us to know when to offer correction and when to simply let our example teach our neighbor.  Charity is the hallmark of a Catholic.  As much as we unwittingly crucify each other we are still bonded together by charity, and nothing stands in the way of charity for a true Catholic.  Our Lord feels the burdens of His people.

Two Paths To Choose

September 3, 2023By

14th Sunday after Pentecost 2023
St. Paul tells us that those who commit the sins he lists in the Epistle will not enter Heaven.  If we have guilt on our conscience, let us rid ourselves of it.  We must be sorrowful and detest our sins, make acts of perfect contrition and go to the sacrament of Penance often.  There are only two paths, the road to God and the road to Lucifer.  St. Pius X fought against that synthesis of all heresies – Modernism.  The same fight is continued today by true clergy and faithful.
