The Priest and Our Lady

By |2018-01-10T00:26:38+00:00January 9th, 2018|Theology|

I was staring at the Eucharist in my private chapel, and I marvelled at how the Eucharist came from me. And the Eucharist is Jesus. And Jesus is God. So...God came from me? I immediately knew there was something wrong about in my thinking. It was this: The Eucharist did not come from me. The best preposition is probably “through.” That is, the Eucharist came through me. The Catholic Church uses the verb to confect as seen in Canon Law: "Can. 900 §1. The minister who is able to confect the sacrament of the Eucharist in the person of Christ is a validly ordained priest alone.” This verb comes from [...]

Mary: God’s First Love

By |2020-04-04T03:16:26+00:00October 7th, 2017|Theology|

Although the pro-life movement’s arguments can be proved from science as much as religion, one of the reasons that I am so involved in the pro-life movement is based on this piece of theology: God imagined every person as an unrepeatable blueprint long before their conception. Since God is the exclusive Creator of the Universe, and since God is in eternity (two philosophical necessities to a world with only One God) this means that God imagined the blueprint to each person’s genome long before an individual zygote was ever conceived. Of course, “imagined” and “before” are words that fail us, especially since we are speaking of a God who exists [...]

The Rosary Will Triumph Over Abortion

By |2019-04-05T15:57:50+00:00October 1st, 2017|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

In the TLM calendar, today is the external feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.  Although this sermon deals with abortion, I tried to avoid extremely graphic descriptions of the violence.  In fact, the families with whom I inquired after Mass had no problem with my vocabulary in preaching.  Nevertheless, I would highly encourage parents to preview this sermon in order to first determine the level of age-appropriate listening in your family. Nota Bene:  Future sermons will probably be released on Mondays, blog posts on Thursdays.

Mary’s Role in Pentecost

By |2019-04-05T16:07:26+00:00June 4th, 2017|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

Covered in this podcast is a wide range of Catholic issues, from the first Pentecost to the charismatic movement today, to St. Maximilian Kolbe. We’ll especially consider Mary’s role against demons and the syllabus of errors in modern times. Special thanks again to the Benedictine Nuns of Mary Queen of Apostles for allowing me to use their music as the bumpers to my iTunes sermons and podcasts.

Mary’s Relationship to the Trinity

By |2017-02-12T01:21:10+00:00February 12th, 2017|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

Here's a few things you probably did not know about the Mother of God, especially in her relationship to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.  It's a talk I gave to some families in Louisiana today, on the feast of the Apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary (when she appeared to St. Bernadette in Lourdes, France.)
