We often must use metaphors to describe the supernatural. These metaphors assist in the pursuit of holiness, which should be the goal of every person to become a saint. There are, of course, a myriad of good goals in life because we are intimidated by the idea of saintliness. It feels like this end is beyond us. Yet all these goals we set for ourselves, ranging from being a good Catholic father to...

Sanctity is the same as pleasing God. What Our Lord looks for is our intention to draw close to Him. God does not take an accounting of our actions, but rather looks at the sincerity of our intention in every act that we perform. We must have confidence in the goodness of God despite the situation of the world and our own shortcomings. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe t...

Michael means “who is like unto God.” It signifies his unique strength and special purpose in salvation history. St. Michael’s service to Our Lord should not be understood in a purely militant way. He is an icon of remaining vigilant to serve God, in whatever way we are called to do. His service to Our Lord is also a reminder that we must be humble, for St. Michael assisted in casting down rebelli...

The blood of Christ is a new affirmation of God’s love for us. Through the shedding of Jesus Christ, we are given a path of salvation. It is the eternal love that shall never be replaced. Jesus shed His blood for our eternal salvation out of love. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every episode > 🎤 Browse our Sermons Archive on SSPX...

Our Lady’s role in our redemption is singular. We know from the beginning and end of Scripture that Mary brings us to Christ. She is our mother and it belongs to her to destroy all heresy, all evil, and ensure the triumph of God in the world. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every episode > 🎤 Browse our Sermons Archive on SSPXpodca...

To love God with our whole heart, mind, and soul is not something we can achieve on our own. What we must do is ask the Our Lord for the grace to abide by this command. In order to do this, we must cultivate a spirit of humility. We too often believe that our own natural efforts can lead us to taking a virtuous path. Yet without God, we can do nothing. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube &g...

The expression “friend, go up higher” sounds like both an encouragement and a command. All of God’s commands are intended for our betterment. God approaches us as friends, not a tyrant. He encourages us along the path of life’s way. Through His grace, we are elevated to the possibility of eternal life. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get...

God will take care of us despite the difficulties we face in life. We can believe in God’s providence and still feel overwhelmed. We claim that we trust in God, but still pull back. He knows us totally. If we lose sight of this, pray reflectively the Pater Noster (Our Father). 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every episode > 🎤 Brow...

The Church prays in conformity with the truth that without Our Lord Jesus Christ, we can do nothing. It is a self-deception rooted in pride to think we can accomplish anything without God. To believe otherwise emerges from pride, and the only cure is to humble ourselves. God is the source of all good and all honor and glory belongs to Him. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscri...

God has care for all the creatures in the world. We must always keep confidence in Our Lord. To find sanctity, we must have humility and confidence in His Fatherly goodness. Our confidence in God is based on His love for us, His infinite wisdom, and His absolute power over everything. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every episode >...

St. Pius X is a model for us of Catholic virtue. He did not seek exaltation, including the papacy. Yet despite his great record of being a pastor of souls, he was resistant to be elected. He saw the great challenges to both the Church and society. Despite his reservations, he rose up to be a great leader of the Church and an example for all down to this day. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouT...

No man can serve two masters. Yet we long for freedom. Truth is our access to freedom. And the only way to freedom is through the actual Truth, which is Our Lord Jesus Christ. The world tempts all of us with false freedom. Our Lord promises only the true path to true freedom. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every episode > 🎤 Brows...

Obedience has a special place in the Christian life. It is not merely doing what is asked, but we obey because we see God in our superiors. All authority descends from God. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every episode > 🎤 Browse our Sermons Archive on SSPXpodcast.com > 📳 Subscribe to the SSPX on YouTube > ❤️ Like this serm...

The parable of the Good Samaritan teaches us a dual lesson. First, the imagery of Christ’s compassion. The second, of mankind being graciously wounded since the Fall. Yet the Good Samaritan is a symbol of Our Lord to provide the man afflicted on the side of the road with the greatness of grace. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every ep...

God wants us to be better. This demands that we look at ourselves, including our interior disposition. We are likely to discover darkness in our souls. It may disturb us to uncover this darkness. We must not be afraid of this experience, as it ultimately brings us closer to God. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every episode > 🎤 Br...

We do not see as God sees, nor do we judge as Him. Too often we judge by what we see. The external. It is not for us to see the hearts of others. We must approach them with charity as Our Lord has commanded. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every episode > 🎤 Browse our Sermons Archive on SSPXpodcast.com > 📳 Subscribe to the SSP...

We need to be reminded that we are blessed. Every day we wake up is a blessing. Yet daily, what is our attitude toward this blessing? The joys come easy; the hardships and trials do not. Yet each moment of our lives is a gift. They are a gift from God to work for our salvation. To grow in love for Him. Yet we are often discouraged. We do not appreciate that each day, we get to grow in holiness. We...

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is one of the great feasts we celebrate in the Catholic Church. At the end of her earthly life, she was taken to heaven. It is a belief the Church has held dear since the beginning. There are no relics of her precious body. There are not even forgeries. The Church teaches and the faithful have always believed in this truth, which remains a sign of her uniq...

The most dangerous temptation is discouragement. Throughout our lives we will meet obstacles, small and large. Even when we do good and what God calls us to do, we will ask at times, "Have I failed? Is God disappointed in me?" This temptation is a barrier to perseverance. It leads you to believe you are far from Our Lord. And ultimately, it compels us to give up unless we remember, through prayer,...

The parable of the Publican and Pharisee presents an opportunity to reflect on our own hypocrisy when we exalt ourselves at the expense of others. It is altogether easy to point to the faults of others without reflecting prayerfully on our own. We must humble ourselves before God. In every endeavor in our lives, there is a the reality that we have sinned. For that, we need to seek Our Lord's forgi...

In this world, we encounter people whose souls are in different states. Some are indifferent to the things of God. Others are fervent. We also meet those who find spiritual fruit in everything. Whether it is a trial or a grace, they find an opportunity for spiritual growth during every stage on life's way. They do this by accepting the trials that are placed in front of them. It is no easy thing,...

What is the meaning of tolerance? It means to bear someone else's faults, even if we do not know where they emanate from. Perhaps others have habits and opinions we find disagreeable. Some are grave. Some are not so important. Even when we know that another person is in the wrong, even fellow Catholics, we are never called upon to tolerate or ignore error. However, even being armed with the truth,...

What is a virtue? It is a good habit. On the flip side, there are vices. To have an authentic virtue that is pleasing in the eyes of God means that have to be in a state of grace. In this day and age, we have become accustomed to our worldly comforts. Moreover, when it comes to the virtue of meekness, we are tempted to throw it off under the false desire to not look week. We wish to be militant. B...

In the parable of the unjust steward, we are often confused by this parable because of the injustice embedded in the story. However, Our Lord calls us to look beyond the injustice and instead focus on being wise stewards of our earthly goods. When it comes to those things that transcend this earthly realm, specifically our final reward in heaven, we must be exponentially more clever and wise to at...

Every word of the Hail Mary (Ave Maria) is a treasure. It is a prayer, whether recited on its own or in the context of the Rosary, that can be applied to innumerable intentions, be it for the end of a war or the alleviation of another's spiritual suffering. Our Lady's whole life is one of grace and through that grace, she is able to dispense it onto those souls that call upon her through this beau...
