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.

16th Sunday After Pentecost

By |2019-04-05T15:57:33+00:00September 24th, 2017|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

The Mass and Salvation History, part 2. This two-part series is based on the stained glass around the high altar and sanctuary, here at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Jacksonville, Florida. All of salvation history culminates in the single sacrifice of the Last Supper and Calvary, found in both of the center panes. The featured landscape image above is the sculpture of the Last Supper, found under the mensa of the high altar. Pictures for reference to the podcast are on my blog.  They are numbered 1 to 9, going west to east with a north-facing high altar (still liturgical ad orientem, of course.)  Today is 5 to [...]

Undivided Hearts: The Power of Celibacy

By |2019-04-05T16:03:50+00:00September 6th, 2017|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

What does it mean to have an undivided heart for the Lord? "The unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit."—1 Cor 7:34 I gave this talk to homeschooling families that have taken literally God's command to "be fruitful and multiply" as the Old Testament says.  But the New Testament generally holds it to be a calling to be fruitful and multiply for the salvation of more souls for Jesus Christ's kingdom.  Therefore, this talk is about why to encourage your children to be very open to the calling of celibacy for the salvation of even more souls [...]

Annulments Sermon

By |2019-04-05T16:03:33+00:00August 29th, 2017|Podcasts, Sermons, Talks|

This sermon is about the beauty of marriage by way of the pain of annulments, and it is sure to be controversial. It might sound excessively traditional, but it is based on a key line that I forgot to quote from Pope John Paul II. He said that for a declaration of nullity to be granted, run-of-the-mill difficulties in marriage were not sufficient, but rather, "real incapacity is to be considered [for an annulment analysis] only when an anomaly of a serious nature is present"—Pope John Paul II's exhortation on Canon 1095, written on 25 February 1987. One example of "an anomaly of a serious nature" would be the couple's [...]
