MOST RECENT SERMONS

A New Beginning View description ▼ St. Alphonsus indicates the true meaning of Christmas in his prayer for this holy day. Reflecting upon it reminds us of the most important graces we need. The Infant Jesus wishes to grant us great spiritual graces this season. Sadly, we don’t value His graces sufficiently, don’t dispose ourselves to receive them, or fail to ask for them. Let us call to mind the tears He shed for us. Consider how much He loves us – a truth manifested at Christmas more than nearly any other day – and thus strive to receive and return His love.

Our Lady Co-Redemptrix by Her Maternity View description ▼ All the elect are called to cooperate with Our Lord in His work of the redemption of the world. Seriously take this to heart, because it is the purpose of your life. You are supposed to be cooperating with Our Lord in the salvation of the world, first your own salvation and then the salvation of those God places in your life. Our Lady has three distinct rights to the title Co-Redemptrix. In the same sense as the elect, but to a decree which no others approach, Mary cooperated in the salvation of all. Then, in a manner which no other creature could or did, Mary's maternal cooperation was indispensable to the redemption of the world. Furthermore, God willed for her dolors to form an integral part of Our Lord's Sacrifice. Excepting the abandonment of His Father, the sorrows in Our Lady’s heart were the most painful element in Our Lord’s passion. Thus, Mary's compassion increased Jesus's suffering, making it more powerful, holy, and pleasing to God.   September 28, 2025 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
Savior and King of Love View description ▼ The name Jesus was decreed by God from all eternity. This Name means Savior. It has great power. Use His Name with reverence frequently (when sad, it brings joy; when tempted, it makes the devil flee; when in trouble, it brings aid). Parents have a grave obligation to make this Name known to their children. It is not enough to just be Catholic. Many Catholics do not go to Heaven. We must live good Catholic lives and strive to be models of Christ. If we are, He WILL help us. What must you do in 2026 to grow in His love, make Him your friend, and have greater confidence in His Name? January 4, 2026 by Fr. Iakobus
Our Lady Speaks with Symbols View description ▼ Our Lady appeared to two children at La Salette in 1846. She was weeping bitterly and gave mankind a powerful message. Much of her message is conveyed through the symbolism she uses: light, a mountain, hammer, pincers and more. Our Lady sorrows not just for sin but for our lack of repentance. Her symbols—the fading crucifix, the roses of charity, and the chains of sin—are not just historical details, but urgent calls to the modern world for reconciliation and prayer. Our Lady’s suffering is redemptive. She is the messenger that accompanies and leads us to God. And Mary herself is the very way to Christ. December 7, 2025 by Fr. Linus Clovis

FLASHBACK: SERMONS

What is in a Name View description ▼ The modern world has embraced the foolish notion that a "name" is just a random grouping of letters used to refer to someone easily. Yet our ancestors knew that a name is meant to be the very definition of the person, an essential description, that can even point to one's past and future. Thus, God reveals His Name to Moses as "I AM WHO AM." In days past, all Catholics were named after a saint and thereby had heavenly patrons. The holy Name of Jesus reveals His redemptive mission, honors Him greatly, and embraces all His divinity. All creation shall forever adore the holy Name of Jesus, outside of which none can be saved.
Restoration of Marriage Comes From Above View description ▼
Our Lord came to restore what was lost and even add on to it by beautifying it, or divinizing it in someway. He started this restoration as soon as He came. We can think of them in terms of the first three Joyful Mysteries: (1) With the Annunciation, He restored the place of virginity. (2) With the Visitation, He restored our place as adopted sons of God. (3) With the Nativity, He restored marriage, making it able to become the sacrament of Holy Matrimony. Christ ended divorce at the highest level, Now, with the Holy Family, all families can do the same. 
The Epiphany of the Lord View description ▼ This is a feast of Jesus Christ manifesting His divinity. The three kings represent all the Gentile nations. At His Baptism, He makes His divinity known to the Jews. And with His first miracle, at the Wedding of Cana, He manifests His divinity to His disciples. The kings from the East received a vision of a star, a cross, and a Child. They brought gifts to honor Christ as king (gold), as God (frankincense), and as a man who would die (myrrh). They exhibited true obedience, both by leaving everything behind and by disobeying the authority of Herod which would have wrought evil. These three great saints were later baptized by St. Thomas and became bishops in their lands.

Personal Testimony

In this episode of Hope in the Desert, Fr. John Lovell interviews David Rodríguez. They discuss the impact of a priest's cancellation on his family and community, their respective experiences in seminary formation, and the problem of bishops no longer being true spiritual fathers, but becoming instead absent, even abusive, 'fathers'.

Consecration of the Human Race to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Prayer prescribed by Pius XI for the Feast of Christ the King.
[Read the encyclical Quas Primas, 1925]

Most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the human race, look down upon us humbly prostrate before Thy cross.  We are Thine, and Thine we wish to be; but to be more surely united to Thee, behold, each one of us this day freely consecrates himself to Thy most Sacred Heart.  Many, indeed, have never known Thee; many, too, despising Thy precepts have rejected Thee.  Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to Thy Sacred Heart. Be Thou King, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have never forsaken Thee, but also of the prodigal children who have abandoned Thee; grant that they may quickly return to their Father’s house lest they perish of wretchedness and hunger.

Be Thou King of those whom heresy holds in error or discord keeps aloof; call them back to the harbor of truth and the unity of faith, so that soon there may be but one fold and one Shepherd.  Be Thou King of all those who even now sit in the darkness of idolatry or Islam, and refuse not Thou to bring them into the light of Thy kingdom.

Finally, turn Thine eyes of pity upon the children of that race, which was for so long a time Thy chosen people; and let Thy Blood, which was once invoked upon them in vengeance, now descend upon them also in a cleansing flood of redemption and eternal life.

Grant, O Lord, to Thy Church assurance of freedom and immunity from harm; give peace and order to all nations, and bring it to pass that from pole to pole the earth may resound with one cry:  Praise to the divine Heart that wrought our salvation; to It be honor and glory for ever and ever.  Amen.
