Sermons of Fr Paul Robinson SSPX

#endtimes #catholic #ourlady Today is the last Sunday of the liturgical year and it represents the end of time. That is why the Church gives us a Gospel passage of Our Lord speaking about the Last Judgment. Whenever Our Lord speaks of the Last Judgment, He wants to give us certain means by which we may identify it, while at the same time He does not want to tell us when it will happen. Rather, He...

On July 13, 1917, Our Lady appeared for the second time to the three children of Fatima. She promised to work a miracle on October 13, so that everyone would believe. Then, she asked the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to pray the following prayer when doing so: “O Jesus, it is for love of you, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Imm...

#sspx #catholic #catholicchurch We have a special feast day today, the dedication of the archbasilica of St. John Lateran in Rome. It is interesting that the Church makes this a second class feast, while the feast of the dedication of St. Peter’s Basilica, which will take place next Tuesday, is only a third-class feast. The main reason for the special honor given to St. John Lateran is that it was...

#catholic #sspx #christtheking If we look at all the of the problems in the world and in the Catholic Church today, they all really boil down to one problem. It is a first commandment problem. The first commandment is hardly being honored and practiced today. Now, it may seem that the first commandment is the easiest one of all to practice. “I am the Lord thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods...

By the design of God, the first second of our existence passes in a dark place, the womb of our mother. We remain in the darkness for three quarters of a year, growing, making the transition from an embryo to a fetus to an infant. Finally, the day comes when we emerge into this world and we get to see for the first time what sort of world we are born into. Our vision is at first very blurry and is...

God has created a law for the natural order such that what goes up must come down. God has made there to be the same law for the supernatural order: what goes up must come down, and what goes down must come up. If you are prideful in this life, if you make yourself out to be something greater than you are, if you despise others and are selfish, you will go down to hell after this life is over. If...

#sspx #catholic #catholicism #priesthood Fr. James Chipperfield is a strange man. He is only 26 years old and he is already a priest. That is a strange and rare thing in today’s world. It is what we call the young vocation. The average age of a newly ordained priest in the USA today is 34 years old, but Fr. Chipperfield was ordained when he was still 25 years old. The other Australian who was orda...

#sspx #suffering #cross #catholic “The two persons in the world whom God loved best were Jesus and Mary, and the advantages which they possessed over all creatures on account of their virtue were that they suffered more than all. No two persons were ever so tried as they. Let us console ourselves then in sorrow, for the more of it we have, the more like shall we be to Jesus and to His Blessed Moth...

In a relay race, there are typically four runners who have the job of passing a baton to one another until they get to the finish line. If any one of the runners drops the baton, his team is disqualified. The first runner begins the race with the baton; he does not receive the baton, but owns it. The other runners do not start the race with the baton. Rather, their job is to receive it from the ru...

The Assumption of Our Lady into Heaven was the effect of the way that she lived her life and, particularly, three moments of her life: the moment of Our Lady’s conception, the moment she became Mother of God, and the moment of her Son’s death. Immaculate Conception The moment of her conception is important because it is the first moment of her existence, the time of the creation of her soul and th...

On the day of our baptism, we came to the church alive with physical life but dead in supernatural life. It was because of this fact that our soul was dead with sin that we, or our godparents, had come to ask for eternal life. Then, we went through the ritual of the baptismal ceremony during which we underwent a symbolic death. The pouring of the water on our heads was like a burial in water from...

Today, we have one of the vocation stories in the Gospels. These are some of the most beautiful stories we read about in the Gospels, and we find them in all four Gospels. They all consist in three things: a meeting, an invitation, and a following. These stories are beautiful and powerful for us because they are a representation of our own life. Of course, they are particularly a representation of...

Today, we celebrate the feast day of the pillars of the Catholic Church, Sts. Peter and Paul. St. Peter was chosen by Our Lord to be the first Pope. He preached the Gospel to the Jewish people and established the headquarters of the Church in Rome, where he was eventually martyred. St. Peter was buried on the Vatican Hill in Rome and a church was built on the spot. This is the same place where the...

When Our Lord was in the middle of preaching His famous Sermon on the Mount, He took some time to instruct the people on how to pray. He said to them, “When you pray, go into your room, and closing your door, pray to your Father in secret: and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. But in praying, do not multiply words, as the Gentiles do; for they think that by saying a great deal they w...

Just three weeks ago, we had a momentous event in the life of the Church, the election of a new Pope. Robert Cardinal Prevost became the 267th successor of St. Peter and so the oldest institution in the world continues. And yet there are some in the traditional Catholic world who do not accept that Leo XIV is the Pope of the Catholic Church. These people are called sedevacantists. Sedevacantists a...

This is a day of great joy for us. There are few things in this life that make you so happy as to see someone rewarded for the good that they have done. Today is the day that Our Lord receives His reward for the great good that He did for the human race. At the Last Supper, Our Lord prayed to the Father, saying, “Father, the hour has come! Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You, even as Y...

Yesterday was an important feast day for our parish, the feast of Our Lady Help of Christians. Before St. Isidore’s existed, we had a chapel in Denver, on Winona Court and West 39th Avenue. The chapel was called Our Lady Help of Christians Chapel. When this church was built, it was decided that the church would be dedicated to St. Isidore the Farmer and that the school would be placed under the pr...

Each one of us has the experience of attending a funeral. We assist at the Mass for the deceased and pray for his soul. We accompany the body to the cemetery and see the final rites performed over the body. Then we walk away. That’s it. Nothing happens after that and we do not expect anything else to happen. We do not expect that the person buried in the ground is going to do anything. None of tho...

Paschal candle dedicated to Our Lady with images of her titles on it. Two of them refer to Our Lady as a star: Stella Matutinis and Stella Maris We speak of Our Lady as a star because she is a guide for our life. Before we had modern means of navigation, sailors had to rely on the stars in order to set the course for their ships. The stars keep the same position in the heavens every night and so a...

Our Lord Jesus Christ is the revelation of God. He shows us who God is. This is especially true at the end of Our Lord’s life. We reveal what we are particularly in a time of crisis. It is the time of Our Lord’s Passion that we see more clearly than ever before Who He is, Who God is. The Last Supper and the Passion make one thing very clear: our God is humble . Each event of the Last Supper and th...

Have you ever asked God for a miracle? I have. Why not? We know and believe that God is all-powerful. When you are all-powerful, that means that it takes you no effort to do anything that you do. How difficult was it for God to create the universe? It was not difficult at all. It took no effort. How difficult to create my soul? Easy. How difficult is it for Him to work a miracle? He can work any m...

Right now in the United States, there is a lot of basketball being played and sometimes you hear commentators talk about second-chance points. This is when a team makes a shot, misses, gets its own rebound, and then manages to score. Second-chance points are not common because the defending team is in a better position to get the rebound. For this reason, teams know not to rely on second-chance po...

We have made a lot of sacrifices for our capital campaign. But what good is it if we do not save our souls? That is the whole point of everything that happens here. A priest wants every single person in his parish to save their souls. We want everyone here to be reunited in Heaven one day. We don’t want anyone to be missing. Fr. McBride and I don’t want to appear before Our Lord and hear from Him,...

Around 175 years ago, a small village in France with a population of only 200 people was receiving 100,000 visitors each year. People would sleep in the fields and wait in lines for days in order to achieve the end of their visit. What was so important that they would make so much of an effort and go through so much hardship? What were they all there to accomplish? They were there to make their co...

This life is a contest of love between us and God. When we were in the seminary, we priests learned in moral theology that God has total dominion over all things, while we have partial dominion over some things. What this means is that everything that we have and that we are belongs to God, while we are only stewards of those things. You car belongs to God. Your house belongs to God. Your children...
