On Christ the King

October 30, 2021

Epistle taken from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the ColossiansCol 1:12-20.Brethren: We give thanks to God the Father Who has made us worthy to share the lot of the saints in light. He has rescued us from the power of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of His beloved Son, in Whom we have our redemption through His blood, the remission of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature. For in Him were created all things in the heavens and on the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether Thrones, or Dominations, or Principalities, or Powers. All things have been created through and unto Him, and He is before all creatures, and in Him all things hold together. Again, He is the head of the body, the Church; He, Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that

Sermon for the 22nd Sunday After Pentecost

Epistle from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the HebrewsHeb 7:23-27Brethren: The priests were numerous, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office; but Jesus, because He continues forever, has an everlasting priesthood. Therefore He is able at all times to save those who come to God through Him, since He lives always to make intercession for them. For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and become higher than the heavens. He does not need to offer sacrifices daily – as the other priests did – first for His own sins, and then for the sins of the people; for this latter He did once for all in offering up Himself, Jesus Christ our Lord. Continuation ✠ of the Holy Gospel according to St. MatthewMatt 24:42-47At that time, Jesus said to His disciples, “Watch, for you

Sermon for the Sunday 21st after Pentecost. – On the Most Holy Rosary.

October 16, 2021

My dear friends, as you all know, this month is dedicated to the devotion of the Most Holy Rosary.Today, I would like to address the importance of this beautiful devotion, and some practical matters on the proper way to practice it. The Catholic Wire · 21st Sunday-On the Rosary and the objections against it. No one ignores what is the nature of the Rosary. The Rosary, if it is properly prayed, is a mix of both mental prayer, that is meditation, and vocal prayer; it consists in the recitation of 15 decades of the Hail Mary, with one Our Father preceding, and a Glory be at the end of each decade. In each one of these decades, we meditate on the mysteries of the life, passion, and glorification of our Lord Jesus Christ. Now, some protestants might have two objections against the Rosary. One, that it is a vocal prayer

On the Hope and Trust in God. EpistleTaken from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the EphesiansEph 5:15-21Brethren: See to it that you walk with care: not as unwise but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. Therefore, do not become foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, for in that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father. Be subject to one another in the fear of Christ. Continuation ✠ of the Holy Gospel according to St. JohnJohn 4:46-53At that time, there was a certain royal official whose son was lying sick at Capharnaum.

The Catholic Wire · 19th Sunday After Pentecost.-On St. Therese Epistle:Lesson from the letter of St. Paul the Apostle to the EphesiansEph 4:23-28Brethren: Be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new man, which has been created according to God in justice and holiness of truth. Wherefore, put away lying and speak truth each one with his neighbor, because we are members of one another. Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down upon your anger; do not give place to the devil.

Sermon for the Feast of the North American Martyrs

September 25, 2021

“The Blood of the Martyrs is the seed of the Church” My dear friends, today we celebrate and remember our parents in the faith. We celebrate the north American martyrs. These where 7 Priests and one layman, who died here in North America, for no other reason but their desire to bring salvation to the souls in this continent. We offer the holy Sacrifice of the Mass for the honor of men, who lived and died, here in this land, to bring Christ, and His Blessed Mother, to bring the Church to us, at the price of their lives. And I called them our parents in the faith, because we truly are related to them. These men where some of the first Apostles in these lands. If we have the Catholic Church, if we are able to receive the sacraments, and to enjoy so many of the blessings we enjoy,
