MOST RECENT SERMONS

Go to the Cave with Faith View description ▼ Christ was born, named and circumcised in the cave at Bethlehem. Enter therein and consider that this Child, Who is God, came down to earth for love of you and that He suffered so much to pay the penalty for your sins. He has granted you this new year that you may thank and love him more. Yet too often we go through life and our heart never changes. So offer Him your heart, ask him to transform it, making it like to His own Heart. These are the steps we need to take if we truly wish Him to teach us, save us, and rule over us. January 1, 2026 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
Apostle of Divine Love View description ▼ The feasts of Christmastide emphasize Jesus as our Savior, Teacher, and King. St. John, whom we honor on December 27, was the son of Zebedee and Salome and brother of James. He was the youngest apostle, the disciple whom Jesus loved - because of his purity. St. John was the only Apostle at the foot of the Cross. Our Lord entrusted His own Mother to him. St. John teaches us what it means to love. God’s love for us should be the foundation of our life, our most firm conviction motivating all we do. St. John’s gospel is the most ‘theological’ and he emphasizes the divinity of Christ. His gospel includes seven “I AM” statements by Jesus, all of which identify Him as God. December 28, 2025 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
Be Not Wise in Your Conceits View description ▼ We humans are weak, think our way of seeing things is always right, don’t want to own up to our own faults, and seek to force our plan for life upon others. We resort to evil means to reach a sought after good, then justify our actions that are not right. We do this in small things and it becomes a habit in our soul. We are blinded to our own faults and can’t see how our way of acting destroys the peace in our family, parish, and society. This pride of man also prevents God from speaking to our souls. The only way towards healing –and peace– is know Christ is the answer. We must desire His grace, approach Him humbly, obey His authority, and trust His goodness. January 25, 2026 by Fr. Iakobus
Why Are Our Marriages Unhappy? View description ▼ Our Lord performed His first public miracle at the Wedding of Cana. He elevated marriage to a sacrament, meaning it became a stable state of life which produces grace. He did this at the request of His Mother. The overabundance of wine represents grace and great joy. All society benefits from this, not only the married couple. Yet we have deviated from how Christ has instituted marriage. Even Catholic Canon Law has confused the proper ends of marriage. NFP is used by so many Catholics, but it easily fosters a spirit of selfishness and pleasure that runs contrary to marriage. The only way to have a happy marriage is to live in conformity with how God created marriage. January 18, 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

Chair of St Peter at Rome View description ▼ The cathedra in St. Peter’s Basilica holds the relics of the chair (throne) from which St. Peter taught. In antiquity, the formal position for official teachers was to sit. The Church formerly celebrated the Chair of Unity Octave from today’s feast of St. Peter’s Chair to the Conversion of St. Paul. These were days specifically marked my prayer for the conversion of various non-Christians and the return of lapsed Catholics, schismatics and heretics. The Church is always ONE, this is one of her essential marks; a property given to her by God which can never be taken from her. Pope Boniface VIII analogously described it as the seamless garment of Christ made by His Mother which could miraculously grow (Unam Sanctam, 1302). Outside of this one Roman Catholic Church, the Mystical Body of Christ, there is no salvation. This sermon dispels many errors so common today, especially those having to do with false ecumenism.
St Athanasius and Why Atheism is Growing View description ▼ St. Athanasius explains that there are at least three ways man can come to know God without fail: (i) creation, (ii) saints, and (iii) divine revelation. Today, all three have been displaced by imaginings of modern man and the crafty devices of the devils. Consequently, a vacuum exists, allowing atheism to rise, while occultism and Islamism fill in the gaps. How important it is, then, for us to see the harmony of God's Creation, to strive to be holy and follow good priests, and to study our Holy Catholic Faith. In this way, atheism will not be allowed to grow in us and around us ... with the atheist given the chance to once again know God! See text of sermon.
Chair of St. Peter at Antioch View description ▼ Two brief daily sermons. * The teaching office of St. Peter and his successors points us to Christ, for it is Christ who entrusted the Church with the mission of preserving, preaching and transmitting, until the end of time, His teaching - integrally and faithfully. By virtue of baptism, each one of us has the responsibility of persevering in this saving doctrine. Many Catholics are confused regarding the Church's dogma on the pope's teaching authority, so here we briefly review it. * Blessed ashes are a holy symbol of three spiritual exercises: [1] Sorrow and contrition for one's sins; [2] Penance and mortification; and [3] Meditation on death.

Prayer to the Immaculate and Sorrowful Mother of God

The prayer from the sermon Sorrow and Death given on Septuagesima Sunday in 2017

To thee, O Immaculate and Sorrowful Mother of God, do we have recourse in this supreme hour of mankind’s need, amidst such storms indeed as have never been known, shaking holy Mother Church to her very foundations.
Thou, who standing by the foot of the Cross, didst once share so closely in the sufferings of thy Divine Son, with what compassion art thou not moved today for the suffering of His Mystical Body, the Church! Russia has so spread her errors throughout the world that the human element of the Church has been widely infected; within the very bosom of the Church the virus of a false ecumenism poisons souls without number, either tearing them away or keeping them outside of the unity of the true Faith and the one and only Ark of Salvation. Indeed, the good are being persecuted and martyred.
As we begin today to prepare for the coming holy season of Lent, we wish to place ourselves under thy powerful and loving motherly protection, thou to whom God promised from the beginning wouldst crush the head of the infernal serpent. We look to thine Immaculate Heart, a perfect image of the Divine Heart of thy Son. This shall be our refuge and the way that will lead us to God.
O most sweet Mother and Queen, we consecrate ourselves this day to Thine Immaculate and Sorrowful Heart. We consecrate our eyes, our ears, our mouths, our hearts, our whole being, without reserve. We relinquish all that we have, that we may be wholly thine. Wherefore, good Mother, as we are all thine, keep us and guard us in thy Heart; bring us to the restoration of all things in Christ through the glorious triumph of thine Immaculate Heart. Amen.
