Written on December 20, 2019 at 8:01 pm, by dean
Monsignor began the sermon by reciting the Hail Mary. This week has been a marvelous week.

We’ve had just a wonderful week; in the same week […]

DOMINICA VIII POST PENTECOSTEN Last year, on this 8th Sunday after Pentecost I insisted on two topics: 1) The Divine Will is manifested in the call we all received to live in sanctity and to die persevering in it. 2) We must use our intelligence in the business of our salvation (which is the only […]

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. Monsignor began the sermon by reciting the Hail Mary. I am continuing my series of sermons on the natural gifts proper to our nature, as opposed to Supernatural Gifts; and today I want to do the gift of reading. […]

SEPTEM DOLORUM BEATÆ MARIÆ VIRGINE DOMINICA XIV POST PENTECOSTEN In the movie “The Passion of Christ” by Mel Gibson, there is an admirable scene (which also recalls one of the Seven Dolors of Our Lady) that I believe summarizes magnificently the mystery of our Redemption, and it is this one: Our Blessed Mother sees her […]
