MOST RECENT SERMONS

Inseparability of Faith and Eternal Life View description ▼ St. Anne made a great sacrifice for the love of God: she willingly gave up her daughter. Ancient traditions hold she died before Jesus’ birth, but medieval ones hold she lived to hold the Messiah. What is certain is that her intercession is vast and powerful on account of her close proximity to Jesus. This highlight a principle: Jesus Christi is the center of our existence and everything in our holy religion is related to professing true faith in Him. The Church too exists to faithful transmit the Deposit of Faith, that is, the truths Jesus Christ teaches as the foundation of our faith and essential for salvation. July 26, 2026 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
Jesus Teaches the Multitudes View description ▼ The Sacred Heart of Jesus is the principle and the source of all the mysteries of His life. Thus, a simple way to grow in devotion to It is spend time considering how everything He said and did are expressions of the infinite love burning in His adorable Heart. For example, that love prompts Him to teach the truth, to teach through His Church, and to give specific commands (which may not even make sense to our human reason). Then offer reparation for all those who hold and promote error, refusing to obey Christ’s teachings. The greatest act of love we can give to the Sacred Heart, and greatest reparation, is to receive Him worthily in Holy Communion. June 21, 2026 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
We Must Give Thanks View description ▼ The ten lepers had faith and hope. They went to Jesus and were willing to show themselves to the priest even though full of leprosy. All were full of joy but only one expressed gratitude for the gift. He had charity. What would you have done in their place? God has given us so many good things, yet we fail to thank Him. Have confidence in God. Pray for faith, hope and charity. Show gratitude to those closest to you, thank God for His sacraments, and strive to love what God commands. August 23, 2026 by Fr. Iakobus

PODCAST: SPECIAL INTERVIEWS

How Should One Respond to an Unjust Excommunication View description ▼ On 2 July 2026, the Vatican issued documents claiming the SSPX was schismatic and excommunicated. Media news outlets have been weaponized to quickly spread this propaganda. So how should faithful Catholics respond? Hold fast to the truth that Christ reveals. Exercise charity. Remain at peace. Live a faithful Catholic life. This is the witness which all men, especially other Catholics, need to see.

How a Priest Found Tradition and the Latin Mass View description ▼ Fr. John Lovell interviews Fr. Michael Rodríguez on the podcast, Hope in the Desert. Fr. Rodríguez is well-known as a fervent advocate for the restoration and recovery of Catholic Tradition. He discusses how he came to discover traditional doctrine and the venerable and ancient Roman liturgy. He identifies ignorance and lack of faith as key factors which impair the progress of many Catholics. Thus, he encourages study and prayer. Father's journey underscores the importance of the principle: lex orandi, lex credendi.

Fr. John Lovell interviews Fr. Michael Rodríguez regarding how he came to find, love, and dedicate himself exclusively to the true Catholic Mass, the Mass of All Ages.

FLASHBACK: SERMONS

Respice Stellam, Voca Mariam View description ▼ All our trust has to be in God. So how can we grow in our love and trust for God? The Traditional Latin Mass is an excellent means, for it places God at the center in all things, and helps us "seek first the kingdom of God." It requires an extra effort of love for God. Be not complacent just because you are a "traditional" Catholic. Set not your heart on things of this passing world. There are many storms within the Church and life. So in all troubles or dangers, look to the Star of the Sea and Call on Mary. (Hers is a name of great power and protection.)
Tears of Our Lady of Sorrows View description ▼ St. Charles Borromeo approved of a miraculous statue of Mary shedding tears of blood, commemorated by a shrine in Milan to this day. There have been other similar miracles, and she also wept in her apparition at Akita. The tears of our Sorrowful Mother were present at Calvary. Though she experiences perfect happiness in Heaven in the beatific vision, the Holy Virgin mystically weeps on account of the Church militant here below. She weeps because the Church is persecuted. She sheds tears because many of God’s Children are unfaithful and many abandon the Catholic Church, which is the one and only way of salvation. Mary cries because many priests and bishops betray the Church as Judas betrayed Jesus.
Mourn With Our Lady of LaSalette View description ▼ God always prepares us, never blindsiding His faithful ones. He uses types and prefigurements. Consider how Our Lord raising the Widow of Naim's son is a type. He also provides us with prophecy; though we must be careful in our interpretation. In 1846 at LaSalette, Our Lady of Sorrows foretold much of what was to come - in those days, in our time, and at the end of time. Other prophecies from approved apparitions of Our Lady and saints help us better understand her terrible message. When one is forewarned, one can be better prepared and the suffering is lessened. We in turn can offer reparation and mourn with Our Lady of Sorrows as the Church passes though a passion. Let us stand with her at the foot of her Son's Cross.
Second Plank After Baptism View description ▼ St. Jerome speaks of the Sacrament of Penance as a "second plank after shipwreck." (Baptism is the first plank by which we enter the barque of the Holy Catholic Church.) This sermon continues building upon what has been presented the last several weeks regarding this Sacrament. Knowing why we confess, how and what to confess, how one ought to act in the confessional, and the role of the priest, will all help us receive more grace through this Sacrament.

A Litany to the Precious Blood of Jesus

Prayer from a sermon given on July 1, 2019 (Feast of the Precious Blood)

Precious Blood of Jesus, shed in the circumcision, make me chaste of mind, heart, and body.

Precious Blood of Jesus, oozing from every pore, in the agony of Gethsemani, grant me to love above all things the holy and adorable will of God!

Precious Blood, flowing abundantly in the scourging at the pillar, inspire me with a keen sorrow for my sins and a love of suffering!

Precious Blood, falling in profusion from the crown of thorns, grant me a love of humiliations!

Precious Blood, fructifying the way to Calvary, fill me with the courage necessary to walk unfalteringly in the footsteps of Jesus.

Precious Blood, shed so profusely in the Crucifixion, make me die entirely to self-love!

Precious Blood, shed to the very last drop by the opening of the Sacred Heart, grant me that generous
love that sacrifices all for God!

Precious Blood, sacred source whence flow all virtues and all graces, apply Thy infinite merits to my soul!

O Divine Blood of Jesus, I adore Thee from the depths of my heart! Thee I ardently invoke, for Thou art my salvation, and through Thee I hope to obtain the joys of Paradise.

Most Precious Blood of Jesus, cry to Thy Divine Father for mercy upon us and deliver us. Amen.
