True Eucharistic Faith
The feast of Corpus Christi is a profession of faith that Jesus Christ is really and substantially present in the Holy Eucharist under the appearance of bread and wine. One cannot truly believe in Christ and set this truth aside. Real Catholic Faith is not just saying and believing this, but living it. The most important way to live this is to receive Him frequently, and doing so with great faith, deep devotion, and integral purity.

Holy Ghost Basics in Threes
The Holy Ghost is the spirit of truth, the giver of life and grace, and the power of divine love. Take a step in faith to acknowledge the importance of the octave days of Pentecost and spiritually benefit from them. The fact that these days pass Catholics without notice illustrates the weakness of our faith. Most of us do not sufficiently seek the help of the Holy Ghost. Yet unless we take specific steps in faith, our faith will not grow stronger.

God the Father and All Fathers
If we are to know God, we need to know the Father. He shows what all fathers, natural and spiritual, ought to be. The Father brings forth life and makes sure that His creatures have what they need to attain their perfection. He provides and protects. He disciplines us to keep us on the right path. He does all this because of love. Human fathers are called to give life, to maintain it, and to provide all their children need to attain their fulfillment This duty can be burdensome and fatiguing, but it is an obligation of love. Fathers: Have an unselfish love and give everything without counting the cost. You cannot do this without asking God for help. Do so — every day.

Many Are Called Few Are Chosen
Hearing Scripture is not enough. We need to understand it. That means we need a proper interpretation; we must study the Scriptures with the mind of the Church. For example, we believe in the Communion of Saints. We know this from our Creed, liturgy, and life of devotion. Moreover, the Holy Ghost –through St. Paul– calls us to study and imitate (follow) the saints so as to arrive in Heaven. Look at the three apostles Jesus chose so as to imitate them. Peter was passionate, fervent, and always wanted to be close to the Lord. James was bold, fearless, and would shout out the truth regardless of human respect. John was innocent, pure, and deeply loved. Christ speaks through His Church and God the Father said “Listen to Him.” There was no need to say anything more.

FLASHBACK: SERMONS
O Felix Roma
'O happy Rome, whom the most glorious blood [of St. Peter and St. Paul] forever consecrate while ages flow.' Relying on (1) Pope Pius XI's Act of Consecration of the Human Race to the Sacred Heart, (2) the historical account of Titus destroying Jerusalem in 70 AD, and (3) scripture and tradition regarding Ss. Peter and Paul, Father explains how the New Covenant God establishes with His Church - which is Roman Catholic - superscedes the Old Covenant with the Jews. Thus, all Catholics must be 'Roman.' For example, I learned that Catholics first began using the adjective Roman Catholic during the Arian Crisis, to distinguish themselves from the Eastern Catholic Bishops who had nearly ALL succumbed to the Arian heresy, denying the divinity of Christ. Being 'Roman' can almost be considered as a fifth mark of the Church, along with One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic.
Belief in the Trinity is Necessary
An excellent hard-hitting sermon combating many of today's errors, including the notion that Muslims and Catholics worship the same God, that the Eastern Orthodox are simply a 'sister Church', and the grave problems seen in Ireland this past week. Although this sermon does not explicitly bring up the dogma that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church, it could perhaps be subtitled "there is no salvation outside a true belief in the Most Blessed Trinity."
The Blessed Trinity is our ultimate goal. Without this Mystery, we cannot be saved. As per the Athanasian Creed, we must believe correctly regarding the Holy Trinity, or else we will not be saved. This is because God has revealed who He is; to reject the Trinity is to reject God. We can only come to know the Father through the Son and the Holy Ghost. The one who does not acknowledge the Son will not be drawn by the Father. In fact, without the Holy Trinity, there is no truth, no love, and no peace. Father explains four historical failures regarding proper belief in the Blessed Trinity: (1) Eastern Orthodox, (2) Muslims, (3) Mormons, and (4) Today's Irish Nation. Truly, belief in this Mystery is most necessary and relevant today!
SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS
Four Catholic Misconceptions - Part 1
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
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.

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.
