MOST RECENT SERMONS
The Prayer of St. Anne
“By their fruits you shall know them.” Let us apply our Lord’s words to St. Anne. She is Our Lord's grandmother and Our Lady's mother. St. Anne is a patroness for many, although her intercession is particularly focused on the family. She excelled in charity for the poor and love of God. She fervently prayed for a husband who would help her live according to the divine law. She and St. Joachim bore very heavy crosses with faith and humility. In fact, her deeds and prayers and deeds serve as a powerful example and inspiration. May we each grow in our desire to be devoted to her.

Look Upon Me
The devotion of all devotions is love of Jesus Christ and meditating upon the love He bears us. The saints mastered this devotion because they meditated upon Our Lord’s Passion. For example, consider St. Bridget of Sweden and St. Veronica Giuliani. They teach that nothing helps us hate sin more – and love Jesus above all things – than looking upon Him covered in blood and wounds for our sake. Jesus’ sacrifice and His Precious Blood are present to us at Holy Mass. Adore, thank, and pray to the Precious Blood for it has infinite power to sanctify, expiate, protect, and intercede. Two questions to ask yourself: How often during Mass do I look upon Jesus Who is truly present? What have I suffered out of love for Jesus?

Secret of Matrimonial Poison or Happiness
We ask God to grant us an increase in religion; that we recognize His infinite majesty and our own nothingness. The natural fruit of religion is sacrifice. Today we apply this prayer to marriage. In marriage, God calls us to renounce ourselves (our senses, passions, will, judgment) for the good of our spouse and children. If you are not sacrificing in your marriage, how can you sacrifice to God? Self will spoils and corrupts marriage. Spouses must crucify the ‘old self’ and be motivated by the desire to do God’s will.

The Pharisee and the Publican
More people go to hell for their ‘good qualities’ than their weaknesses because they rely on themselves and forget God. 'Perfection' is the enemy of the good. And mercy is removing an evil by giving a good. The pharisee followed the law and did good. Yet he did not thank God, or ask anything of God, content in his pride and self-righteousness. That is why he judges others and considers himself above them. The publican, however, has humility. Humility is true knowledge of self. It is a foundational virtue, necessary to acquire all the others. Humility always stands in the truth. Humility knows: “God is all. I am nothing. I am a sinner and mess up. I need God for everything. I need God’s mercy. I trust God loves me and will help me.”

FLASHBACK: SERMONS
Mary is the Ark of the Covenant
More people know about the Ark of the Covenant from the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark rather than from Sacred Scripture. In truth, the Ark was a sign of God's power, presence, and providence. It served as a throne for God and contained proofs of God's covenant with His people. The Ark was constructed from incorruptible wood and plated with precious gold. In short, it was made according to a perfect design revealed by God. The Ark was hidden by the Prophet Jeremiah on Mount Nebo (2 Machabees 2:4-8). Yet the True Ark is Our Blessed Mother, and some Protestants have attributed their conversion to this profound mystery.
The Immaculate Heart of Mary
Consecration to the most sweet and precious Heart of Mary is essential and very desirable. It is Our Lady who will crush the devil. Through consecration we participate in the power of Her Immaculate Heart to absorb the flooding temptations of the devil and his revolution. As St. Bernard teaches, “let us seek grace and seek it through Mary.”
SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS
Geocentricism - Plausible or Crackpot Theory?
An interview of Dr. Robert Sungenis conducted by Christopher Ferrara at the conference Fatima: The Path to Peace (Sept 8-13, 2013 at Niagara Falls, Canada). This discussion is extremely relevant to the Catholic Faith. If the earth is actually at the center of the universe, it points to a Creator who designed and made the universe with the earth in a unique position as a home for His special creation: man. If science supports geocentricism, then it is indisputably contrary to reason to think the universe came from a 'big bang', that life is the process of random evolution, or that man's existence is insignificant.
Four Catholic Misconceptions - Part 1
This talk is geared towards Catholics. We look to dispel three common errors Catholics have about the Faith.
[1] You just need to be 'good' to get to Heaven.
[2] The Spirit of Minimalism
[3} You Must Obey the Pope in ALL Things
Four Catholic Misconceptions - Part 2
This talk is geared towards Catholics. We look to dispel four common errors Catholics have about the Faith. The first three are addressed in Part 1. The fourth error is "Theistic Evolution." This is the idea that God is the Creator of the universe but that He used a process of evolution to create over billions of years. Many incorrectly believe this view is compatible with the Catholic Faith.

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.
