The extraordinary consecrations that took place on July 1 are a cause of great joy. Yet the response from Rome, which includes but is not limited to, excommunicating the bishops and priests of the Society of Saint Pius X can be both a source of fear and bitterness. There are faithful who fear they are now outside of what they love, namely Holy Mother Church. And given the unjust and extremely hars...

God does not command what is impossible. What does it mean to love God with our whole mind, heart, and strength? This is not an emotional sentiment. It means preferring something in creation over Him, even when it is objectively sinful. Loving God is exhibited through not wanting to offend God even in the little things. To assist us in this, we must recognize that God loves us. 📺 View / Listen to...

The consecration of four new bishops for the Society of Saint Pius X is an expression of faith in the immemorial teachings of the Catholic Church. Despite the controversy surrounding these consecrations, they were performed for both the preservation of the Faith and to ensure that the Society can continue transmitting the Faith through priests formed according to the traditional Roman Rite. As suc...

To live by faith is to embrace the supernatural life. Even in these times of great confusion, the Catholic Faith guides those who embrace it. The just man lives by faith, which is an incredible gift from God. It is a gift that we must continually pray for so that faith continues in our lives. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every epis...

Our Lord Jesus Christ took on the punishments for our sins. He gave Himself over to great suffering so that we may be saved. Through the model He established, numerous saints throughout history embraced His path and became victims for the sins of mankind. These great acts of compassion, in unity with Our Lord, helps ensure our salvation. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe...

The devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a devotion to Our Lord's immeasurable love. Although the Sacred Heart devotion had been around since the Middle Ages, its prominence came at a crucial point in ecclesiastical history, namely during the spread of Jansenism in France during the 17th century. Contrary to the belief in God's mercy, Jansenism taught that we can never be pleasing to God. As f...

At the moment of the Ascension, we Christians are called to make disciples of all nations. It is a great responsibility to call others to the feast, that is, to Our Lord’s table. We must live faithfully to our calling, and doing so means bringing in others to live faithfully in the state of grace. We do this effectively by the example of our lives. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube >...

God loves the human race. But just as importantly, He loves all of us individually. In this beautiful feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we focus on the immeasurable love of Our Lord. We pierce His heart through our sins. Yet never does God waver from His love for us. He does not withdraw from us. Our Lord continues to pour out our love so that we may never lose what He has planned for the human...

God uses sufferings for our good. It is difficult for us to see this truth, for of course we desire no setbacks in our earthly life. We must remember, however, that the ways of God our not our ways. The ultimate end of our lives is our sanctification. The crosses we bear are integral to this sanctification. Throughout history, mankind has tried to reconcile belief in a loving God with the reality...

We are often fearful of the world's judgements. We desire respect and sadly fall prey to seeking it. This leads us seeking what others want for us rather than what God wants. Our desire for the respect of the world becomes a denial of Our Lord. This happens in small ways and large ways, but always to the detriment of our souls. This is why we must never be ashamed to represent that we are Catholic...

The work of the Incarnation, the union of human and divine, is the work par excellence of God. It is a great work of love that comes directly through the spirit of love, namely the Holy Ghost. And so it should come as no surprise that it is the Holy Ghost that continues on with the great work of Christ from the day of Pentecost to our own day. It is incumbent upon every Christian to be another Chr...

The sacrament of baptism is our initiation into the Catholic Church. It is not just the washing away of original sin; it is also a revelation of the mystery of the Holy Trinity. By our baptism, the life of grace is opened to us. Sadly, today there are many invalid baptisms due to a lack of proper form. It is imperative for every Catholic to know how this essential sacrament should be administered,...

In our culture we are tempted to be infatuated with others, whether they be movie stars or athletes. Sadly, it makes us think our own lives are falling short. Yet we should recall as Catholics, we have an opportunity for a glorious and wonderful life in Christ. The world may tempt us to believe otherwise but the Faith gives us the path to what God has prepared for us. 📺 View / Listen to this Serm...

Our Lady’s participation in the act of redemption gave her a unique role in the salvation of the human race. Although there has been a recent attempt to obscure or reduce this fact, that does not take away from the longstanding understanding that she is the queen of heaven. She has been divinely appointed to disperse the graces that can lead us to eternal beatitude. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon...

Pride has plagued mankind from the advent of our creation. So often the devil invites us to seek after achievements that are an affront to Our Lord. In a time long past, our race thought they could attain to the heights of heaven by their own artifice. This sinful pride was met with the dispersion of tongues. Yet God, in His infinite mercy, bequeathed His Apostles with the known languages of man,...

Following Our Lord's Ascension, we celebrate the feast of Pentecost, when the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Ghost enters into the world to guide the Church and the faithful. Although the Holy Ghost did not become incarnate like God the Son, He appears throughout history in many forms. One of those forms is fire. For fire provides illumination, warms our otherwise cold hearts, and purifies...

The feast of Our Lord's Ascension celebrates one of the greatest miracles in human history while also calling attention to the joy the Apostles felt when Jesus entered heaven. By entering heaven, Our Lord sets the path that we, too, must follow to be with Him for eternity. Christ is preparing a place for all of us in heaven, so long as we are willing to follow Him. Moreover, we know that after His...

In this life, we keep our feet on earth, but keep our minds and hearts in heaven. By keeping our feet on earth, we mean that we must be realistic and confront the world as we find it. We must accept our reality, but we must not be overcome by it, particularly when confronted with everything from private desolations to the public crises in the Church and society writ large. However, the whole of re...

What is heaven? It is being with God for all eternity. And though God is everywhere, heaven is not everywhere, for we cannot see Him in this life nor detect Him with our senses. Because we cannot perceive Our Lord, we need the light of faith to know that He is there always. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every episode > 🎤 Browse...

We often pray for things and God does not answer them in the way we desire. Why is that? Prayer is not a magic formula; it is a petition to God. However, the efficacy of our prayers depends on the disposition of our souls. Prayer must be a priority in our lives rather than a mere afterthought. This is distressing, since not only our salvation, but the salvation of others depends on prayer. Everyth...

St. James informs us in his epistle that faith without works is dead. One of the many works we can perform to demonstrate our faith is to use our tongues, that is, our speech in a Christlike manner. This is immensely challenging given how easy it is to sin with the tongue and how difficult it is to repair the damage caused by that sin. If one uses their tongue to detract or deride another, how doe...

Our Father in heaven begets the human race. While we know that God has made all things, the act of begetting is distinct. The distinction lies in the fact that when something or someone is begotten, they are of the same nature as the begetter. Humans beget other humans; seals beget other seals. And so when we hear words in Scripture about Our Lord begetting us, it means much more than Him creating...

We get bored with routines and discipline; we seek new experiences and relaxation from what we are called to do. Although it seems like we enjoy change, we resist it when it means abandoning our comforts. On the supernatural level, we recognize that we are born into the temporal world, but we are called to change our spiritual lives because we must commit ourselves to eternity. To reach this super...

The feast of St. Joseph the Worker allows us to honor him for providing for both Our Lord Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The effort that we put into work is the result of the fall of the human race with Adam. Work, however, was no way painful nor a punishment at the advent of creation. Some live to work and others find work to be a necessary evil. As this sermon explains, the Catholic position...

In the modern world, individualism runs rampant. Whether such statements come from extreme rebels or philosophers, they contradict the natural order of society whereby we must carry out the orders of superiors. Obedience does not destroy freedom; it perfects it. Although we do not always choose our superiors, particularly our parents, without a commitment to obedience, human society itself unravel...
