MOST RECENT SERMONS

Catholic or Modernist Understanding of the Church's Mission View description ▼ Pope Leo XIII presents the Church’s teaching on her divine purpose. The Church is to guard true doctrine and propagate it in its integrity and purity, to convert all nations, and to render unto God fitting and divine worship. By these means she alone offers the human race the means of salvation in accord with the ordinary counsels of providence. Hence the Church is mater et magistra, that is, mother [of the life of grace] and teacher [of the true doctrine]. Given the current grave crisis, the chief priority of every shepherd must be to restore –and be faithful to– the lex orandi, lex credendi of the Catholic Church. May 11, 2025 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
Everything in Catholicism Points to Heaven View description ▼ The Ascension focuses us on the mysteries of the Incarnate Word now in Heaven. He is forever our intercessor and mediator; here on earth He does so through the Mass. Jesus is crowned King of kings, has supreme authority over all creatures, and He will come again and judge the living and dead. Look to present Him with the beautiful fruits of your life and work (for example, your marriage). In all you do, raise your thoughts, eyes and desires to Heaven. June 1, 2025 by Fr. Michael Rodríguez
Sins of the Tongue Destroy Charity View description ▼ Christians are made perfect in the bond of charity. We ought to have a constant mutual charity for one another. This comes about through grace in our souls and it unites us in the one Faith. Now charity for our neighbor must be based in God. It means desiring the best for another. It means we comfort and support one another. It necessarily involves prayer and sacrifice. Spouses, families, and parishes must be built upon this charity. We must strive hard against sins of the tongue - like complaining, criticizing, and murmuring - which destroy charity. June 1, 2025 by Fr. Iakobus

FLASHBACK: SERMONS

Abuses Against Corpus Christi View description ▼ The origin of the Feast of Corpus Christi is found in a supernatural vision experienced by St. Juliana of Liege (+1258), a Norbertine nun. This feast was instituted to give greater glory to God. Unfortunately, many have become unappreciative and indifferent towards the Blessed Sacrament. We forget that it is not a thing, but that a Person resides in the Sacred Host -- a Divine Person! Our society is terribly guilty of devaluing people by objectifying them (regarding them as objects to be used instead of as persons). That mentality is being applied towards the most Blessed Sacrament. Numerous abuses occur in the New Mass, often due to lack of catechesis. This leads to even more horrible sacrileges (even knowingly). In the older days, confession lines were long and communion lines short. Today, the communion lines include nearly everyone and the confession lines have shrunk, almost to non-existence. These abuses must be eliminated!
Eating Fire From Above View description ▼ Fire from below is delightful to the senses and fires up the imagination. It is fueled by the mass media and rarely conforms with God’s right order. But fire from above fills the heart and mind with light, grace, life, and the desire to fulfill the will of God. We receive this fire from above through Christ: His Sacrifice, His Body. St. Peter of Verona and St. Anthony Mary Claret are wonderful examples of what this fire from above accomplishes.
Humility and Greatness of Man View description ▼ Never be surprised when you fall. Be grounded in who you actually are: sinful and stumbling about. Yet you also have the capacity for greatness; so strive for it! Don't let the devil handcuff you to sin; instead, be a joyful soul when you go to confession. Have the humility to witness your great fall but know you can still reach for the stars - and see this in others. "Every man in the light of his ego is a fallen monarch."

Prayer to the Sacred Heart

The prayer from the sermon given on June 28, 2019 (The Feast of the Sacred Heart)

Prayer by St. John Eudes
O my Lord God, my Savior and my Redeemer, take away all my sins and destroy in me everything displeasing to Thee; pour from Thy Heart into mine whatever will please Thee most.  Wholly convert me and take full possession of everything within me, to use it according to Thy good pleasure and for Thine own sake.  Unite my heart with Thine, my will with Thy will, so that I may never will and may never be able to will anything or in any other way than Thou willest and what Thou willest.  O Sweet Jesus, O my God, let me love Thee with all my heart, in all things and above all things.

Heart of Jesus, burning with love of us, inflame our hearts with love of Thee.
O sweetest Heart of Jesus, I implore that I may ever love Thee more and more.
Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my love.
 
Sacred Heart of Jesus, convert all poor blasphemers.
Sweet Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us and on our erring brethren.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
 
Sacred Heart of Jesus, protect our families.
Divine Heart of Jesus, convert sinners and give perseverance to the just.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, save the dying, free the holy souls in purgatory, and extend over all hearts the sweet empire of Thy love.
 
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I give myself to Thee through Mary.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, mayest Thou be known, loved, and imitated!
Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thy kingdom come!  Amen.

Restoring the beauty, majesty, and truth of our traditional Catholic Faith all over the world.
