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
St Hilary, Spring of the Church View description ▼ St. Hilary (~310-368 A.D.) is known as the 'Hammer of Arians' and the 'Athanasius of the West'. Born of pagan parents, he received an excellent education which led him into the Church. Contrary to his desire, he was consecrated bishop of Poitiers (Gaul). He was persecuted and exiled for faithfully defending the doctrine of the Trinity and Christ's divinity. St. Hilary insisted that if the Church made friends with the world then it was doomed. Yet where the Church holds fast to true doctrine, that is where she flourishes. How clearly we see the truth of his prophetic words today! Pray that God grant us bishops filled with the spirit of St. Hilary. January 14, 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. ead 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'.

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.
