MOST RECENT SERMONS

Communion of Saints View description ▼ The Church transcends time and space: triumphant in Heaven, suffering in Purgatory, and militant on Earth. Jesus is the center of the Church and it is He who unites it. Members of the Church can honor and help one another because of the charity of Christ and the power of His grace. Far too often we only think of the Church in terms of this world and goods and values of this world. For those on earth, our duty is to fight the enemies of our soul and grow in God’s grace. Our goal must be to save our soul and help save the souls of others. Please use The Fatima Crusader (Issue 135, Fall Issue); it provides and excellent plan for how we can accomplish this goal.

Hell is Real View description ▼ The Magi were guided by a star with represents truth and symbolizes Heaven. They brought gifts to adore the Lord. The most acceptable gift we can offer is a contrite and loving heart. Jesus calls us to conversion; to become like Him. How narrow is the gate that leads to life and few there are that find it. We must be guided by the desire to reach Heaven. We should also reflect upon the reality of hell. The soul that seriously considers hell will be moved to conversion and be saved.

Lent is Here to Help Us Save Our Souls View description ▼ Holy Mother Church calls us to see this holy season of Lent with the grace of sight. ‘To do battle’ is the spirit of Lent. We must weaken our body by mortification because that weakens the passions which lead us to sin. We must do penance because that makes up for our sins. Every sin weakens our will to live a good Catholic life; every penance strengthens that will. Making peace with our sins is not a Catholic life, so give up something that hurts. (If we are not suffering, something is wrong with our Lent). Give up the electronics, the complaining, or the sins of the tongue. Yet the best penance is what Providence provides and we humbly accept. This requires great charity; it is proof of our love for Jesus. February 15, 2026 by Fr. Iakobus
Faith and Charity of the Blind View description ▼ In calling ‘Son of David!” the blind man acknowledges Jesus is the Messiah. In begging for mercy, he professes Jesus is God. The crowd -symbolic of our sins– rebukes the blind man because it lacks faith. The crowd is just a noisy gong; a tactic of the devil. The blind man calls out because he has hope. His desire for the Messiah proves his charity. Jesus hears him above the tumult and works a miracle. The healed man now follows Jesus. Pray, that you too will have faith by hearing, cry for mercy above your sins, and then follow Christ in charity to everlasting life. February 15, 2026 by Fr. Linus Clovis

FLASHBACK: SERMONS

Prepare Well for Death View description ▼ Three brief daily sermons. [1] Ash Wednesday Lent begins with death. In order to live for God we must die to sin and the passing cares of this world. In order to live a holy life we must think about the reality of death like the saints. During Lent, keep your own death before your eyes. [2] Mar 2 Oh what a folly is the world that never thinks upon death. We must prepare well for our death, for it will come upon us at the moment we least expect. Your eternity depends on your death. Resolve at this moment to do all in your power to secure a good and holy death. [3] Mar 3 March is the month dedicated to St. Joseph. When we honor St. Joseph we glorify God in one of His most excellent works, and we please Our Lord and Lady. When we honor St. Joseph, we procure a most powerful protector in life and in death.
Fasting to Conquer Self-Preservation View description ▼ Fasting yields many goods: it bridles the passions, clears the mind for thought and prayer, makes demons flee, and satisfies for sin. Since fasting is so good, why do we resist it so much? Well, self-preservation is the most powerful driving force in man. Thus, to be completely open to God and reliant on Him, we must constantly fight our self through the practice of self denial. Read Text of Sermon Here.
Hate the Sin, Love the Sinner View description ▼ The saying, "Love the sinner and hate the sin" is often abused. We need to understand it correctly. Our actions do matter. Sin does call down the wrath of God. The unrepentant sinner will not enter Heaven. God loves the good in man (e.g. his created nature), but God hates the sinfulness which man has chosen to make part of himself. God looks at what a man could be if the evil was removed and penance done. By God's grace, fallen man can be recreated anew!

AMREG Holocaust Summit 2026: Treblinka

A rational examination of the undisputed parameters concerning Treblinka show that the holocaust story concerning the camp is not merely impossible but savagely irrational. Given how the Treblinka tales fit into the whole, then with this camp exposed, the whole holocaust narrative collapses.

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'.

My Crucified Love

The prayer from the sermon given on the First Sunday of Lent in 2018

My crucified Love, my dear Jesus! I believe in Thee, and confess Thee to be the true Son of God and my Savior. I adore Thee from the abyss of my own nothingness, and I thank Thee for the death Thou didst suffer for me, that I might obtain the life of divine grace.

My beloved Redeemer, to Thee I owe all my salvation. If I have not loved Thee in times past, I love Thee now; and I desire nothing but to love Thee with all my heart. But without Thy help I can do nothing. Since Thou dost command me to love Thee, give me also the strength to fulfill this Thy sweet and loving precept. Thou hast promised to grant all that we ask of Thee. Confiding, then, in this promise, my dear Jesus, I ask, first of all, pardon of all my sins; and I repent, above all things, because I have offended Thee, O Infinite Goodness! I ask for holy perseverance in Thy grace till my death. But, above all, I ask for the gift of Thy holy love. Ah, my Jesus, my Hope, my Love, my All, inflame me with that love which Thou didst come on earth to enkindle!

Enlighten me, that I may understand more and more how worthy Thou art of our love, and that I may know the immense love Thou hast borne me, especially in giving Thy life for me. Grant, then, that I may love Thee with all my heart, and may love Thee always; that, living always and dying in Thy love, I may come one day to love Thee with all my strength in Heaven, never to leave off loving Thee for all eternity.

O Mother of beautiful Love, my advocate and refuge, Mary, who art of all creatures the most beautiful, the most loving, and the most beloved of God, and whose only desire it is to see Him loved! Ah, by the love thou bearest to Jesus Christ, pray for me, and obtain for me the grace to love Him always, and with all my heart! This I ask and hope for from thee. Amen.
