MOST RECENT SERMONS

Do You Believe in the Church? View description ▼ Christ intentionally set up His Church with three parts to mirror the Blessed Trinity. Likewise, Our Lady’s Rosary has three sets of mysteries. Sadly, the majority of Catholics no longer have true faith in the Mystery of the Church. For example, they think the Mass has only to do with them. They forget, that the Mass is also offered for the Church Suffering. Many also forget that the Four Last things are the inescapable destiny of every single human being. November 23, 2025 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
Holy Family Calls us to Conversion View description ▼ A simple way of thinking about Conversion is doing something good for the love of Jesus, that you have not done in the past, and offering it to Him as a gift. Ask yourself “What do I do for the love of Jesus?” The Holy Family provides the perfect model for each of us. Strive to imitate them. It is never easy to make true and lasting changes in our life. It is impossible without God’s grace. Confession is indispensable for conversion. The Sacrament has five necessary steps; work at doing all five well. February 8, 2026 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
Mother of Our Soul and Our Salvation View description ▼ The Feast of the Divine maternity of Our Lady is Her fundamental mystery. She derives a certain infinite dignity from it. It makes her greater than all the angels. By it she has the greatest holiness and purity. Whatever privilege of grace any saint has been given, she is given in even greater abundance. At the Annunciation and on Calvary, she became the mother of our soul and our salvation. Her apparition at Guadalupe beautifully highlights her maternity. So as we pray her Rosary, let us truly meditate upon the mysteries so as to pray it with greater efficacy. October 12, 2025 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
Great Danger of the Lukewarm State View description ▼ We are to walk in love, with the charity of God in our soul. This begins by God giving us His sanctifying grace so that we are lovable and have the ability to love Him in return. That grace is meant to increase until we die. Yet we often forget how necessary it is to show this love of God every day and abide always in a state of grace. Our soul is divided, wanting things of this world. We become complacent falling into a state of sin and then returning to a state of grace. Let not your soul become such a painful battleground; carry out a definitive decision. March 8, 2026 by Fr. Iakobus
Who Are You? View description ▼ The testimony of St. John the Baptist fulfills the prophecies and confirms that the Messiah has come. The religious authorities want to ascertain his identity. Is he the Christ, Elias, the Prophet? He does not deny his identity or dissimulate. He is the voice crying in the wilderness. Each one of us can only know our true identity in Christ. It is only God’s grace and favor (baptism) that we are children of God. December 14, 2025 by Fr. Linus Clovis

FLASHBACK: SERMONS

Passion of the Mystical Body View description ▼ Passiontide is when Our Lord has to go into hiding from the Jewish leaders until His Hour has arrived to redeem the world from sin. Christ and His Church are one. Where the Head has gone, so too must the Body. Signs are not lacking that the Mystical Body of Christ, the Holy Roman Catholic Church, is indeed entered Her own Passiontide. There are many signs of this, most notably seen in Her religious as well as in the state of holy matrimony in the Church. These are clear indicators of the depth of the passion (grave crisis) in the Church Militant today.
Veiling at Passiontide View description ▼ Catholics veil their churches at Passiontide in imitation of our blessed Lord. He often veiled (hid) Himself from His enemies. The veiling is a stark somber reminder that we move from the desert to persecution. Yet Christ only remain veiled from His enemies until the appointed time. So too, His Mystical Body, the Church, is at times protected from her enemies. At other times, it is necessary for her to fight, to undergo a Passion, and to die so as to rise.

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.
