MOST RECENT SERMONS

Two Great Witnesses View description ▼ The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of divine Love and Truth. Two of His greatest witnesses are St. Peter and St. Paul. The Church brings God’s Love and Truth to the world, especially through the Mass. The Mass presents the true faith, love, devotion and reverence with which man is to worship God. We show our love for Christ by spreading His truth to the ends of the world and always remaining faithful to the Mass. He who remains faithful to God’s truth and true worship will be persecuted. May the holy Apostles help us be willing to suffer for Christ.

Perpetual Infinite Love View description ▼ In the Blessed Sacrament, Christ is present whole and entire: all His humanity and all His divinity under the appearance of bread and wine. Truly this is a remarkable Mystery. And it illustrates the weakness of Eucharistic Faith in three groups of believers. Can you say there is nothing more important in your life? Do you receive Him frequently? Do you receive Him as worthily as you can? Strive to receive Holy Communion with faith, purity, and deep devotion.

The Mammon of Iniquity View description ▼ Our Lord praises the unjust steward’s shrewdness: he saw himself as he is and did what it took to survive. All created goods (mammon) are given to us by God to be used moderately and prudently. In this way we are “friends” to them and they help us reach God. But when we misuse them they turn to evil (iniquity). What created things are you misusing? Some common ones are technology, alcohol, debt, friends, and clothing. A basic Catholic life, with the penance of prayer and sacrifice, will help us use all created goods as God intended.

Temptations of an Implacable Enemy View description ▼ Our life on earth is a constant battle against evil. It begins in the heart. We see it at the root of the crises in the world and Church. The devil never ceases to attack and tempt us. We should expect this. After baptism we must pass through wilderness to be tempted until we reach our blessed home. Our Lord underwent this process; so too did God’s people under Moses. Understand spiritual warfare: satan has three basic temptations and you must be adept at resisting them all.

FLASHBACK: SERMONS

The Lamb that was Slain View description ▼ When offered to the Father, the Precious Blood of Jesus brings down an abundance of mercy and forgiveness. Using both theology, Scripture, and lessons from the Old Testament, Father explains why His Blood is so powerful to save and heal. Let us never forget, "Christ is the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world" (Apoc 13:8).

Making Reparation View description ▼ Many are being disillusioned because their efforts to help their nation seem futile. Yet in faith, we must know that spiritual reparation is far more necessary and of greater impact. This is a reflection on what we can do to help our nation based on a solid devotion (approved) of the Holy Face of Jesus as given to the Carmelite nun, Sr. Mary of St. Peter, back in the mid 19th century. It is found in the book The Golden Arrow.

SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS

Geocentricism - Plausible or Crackpot Theory? View description ▼ An interview of Dr. Robert Sungenis conducted by Christopher Ferrara at the conference Fatima: The Path to Peace (Sept 8-13, 2013 at Niagara Falls, Canada). This discussion is extremely relevant to the Catholic Faith. If the earth is actually at the center of the universe, it points to a Creator who designed and made the universe with the earth in a unique position as a home for His special creation: man. If science supports geocentricism, then it is indisputably contrary to reason to think the universe came from a 'big bang', that life is the process of random evolution, or that man's existence is insignificant.

Four Catholic Misconceptions - Part 1 View description ▼ This talk is geared towards Catholics. We look to dispel three common errors Catholics have about the Faith. [1] You just need to be 'good' to get to Heaven. [2] The Spirit of Minimalism [3} You Must Obey the Pope in ALL Things

Four Catholic Misconceptions - Part 2 View description ▼ This talk is geared towards Catholics. We look to dispel four common errors Catholics have about the Faith. The first three are addressed in Part 1. The fourth error is "Theistic Evolution." This is the idea that God is the Creator of the universe but that He used a process of evolution to create over billions of years. Many incorrectly believe this view is compatible with the Catholic Faith. [1] You just need to be 'good' to get to Heaven. [2] The Spirit of Minimalism [3} You Must Obey the Pope in ALL Things [4] Theistic Evolution

Prayer to the Sacred Heart

The prayer from the sermon given on June 28, 2019 (The Feast of the Sacred Heart)

Prayer by St. John Eudes
O my Lord God, my Savior and my Redeemer, take away all my sins and destroy in me everything displeasing to Thee; pour from Thy Heart into mine whatever will please Thee most. Wholly convert me and take full possession of everything within me, to use it according to Thy good pleasure and for Thine own sake. Unite my heart with Thine, my will with Thy will, so that I may never will and may never be able to will anything or in any other way than Thou willest and what Thou willest. O Sweet Jesus, O my God, let me love Thee with all my heart, in all things and above all things.

Heart of Jesus, burning with love of us, inflame our hearts with love of Thee.
O sweetest Heart of Jesus, I implore that I may ever love Thee more and more.
Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my love.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, convert all poor blasphemers.
Sweet Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us and on our erring brethren.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, protect our families.
Divine Heart of Jesus, convert sinners and give perseverance to the just.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, save the dying, free the holy souls in purgatory, and extend over all hearts the sweet empire of Thy love.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I give myself to Thee through Mary.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, mayest Thou be known, loved, and imitated!
Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thy kingdom come! Amen.
