The Theology of the Mass and the Cross – The Catholic Mass – Episode 15

Today, we start a new section of The Catholic Mass Series. We have been looking at the history of the Mass, from the Old Testament, to the Last Supper, on to the Liturgical Movement. And now we move onto exploring the rubrics and theology of the Mass. In this episode, we begin by asking some basic questions, ”Why is the sacrifice important? Why are victim, priest, and the offering so difficult to comprehend without a proper context?”

Holy Saints Remembered in November – SSPX Sermons

This time of the liturgical year, we should reflect on the virtues and the saints who exemplified them. There is Josaphat, the martyr from Ukraine who exemplified fortitude. And Lawrence, who tells us about the virtue of charity through his life and then Gertrude, who reminds us by her example how near she was to God. All of them are examples of true faith and piety.

New Heaven and New Earth – SSPX Sermons

As we come to the end of the liturgical year, our minds turn naturally to the end of all things. The passing away of this world inaugurates a new world that will never pass away. For at the close of time, the purpose of this world, which is to bring mankind to their salvation, will be finished and a new life with God begins.

Enduring the Storms of Temptation – SSPX Sermons

The miracle of Christ walking upon the water to rescue Peter in the midst of a storm reminds us that even in the midst of great turmoil, Our Lord never abandons us. Even when we believe we are abandoned, God never departs from us.

How To Deliver the Poor Souls – SSPX Sermons

How do we help the souls in purgatory? One very efficient way is to fulfill the will of God and accept the crosses we are given in life. And there are many crosses; but what we must ask ourselves is will we accept or deny them.

What Really Matters – SSPX Sermons

Facing the Reality of Death – SSPX Sermons

All Souls Day and the entire month of November provides an opportunity for Catholics to reflect on death, especially preparing for death. Contemporary culture sanitizes death by attempting to hide it. Why? Because the world fears death. But for Catholics who truly prepare for dying by remaining above all in a state of grace, death is nothing to fear.

How the Liturgical Movement was Hijacked – The Catholic Mass – Episode 14

Today, we bring our third and final episode on the “Liturgical Movement.” Last time we saw how World War II impacted the Roman Liturgy and its reform. Today, we delve into how the French and German clergy, emboldened by the lack of censures for their Modernist ideas, pushed for more radical changes that broke from the original spirit of the Liturgical Reform. We also explore what led these liturgical radicals to become more vocal, and how their planning made its way into the Second Vatican Council’s official documents. Finally, close by exposing the movement’s true intention: the creation of the Novus Ordo Missae. For more on this – please read “The Liturgical Movement” available at Angelus Press.

All Saints’ Day: A Battlecry Against Mediocrity – SSPX Sermons

Holy Mother Church presents us the feast of All Saints to instruct us. For each saint has a particular virtue to teach. But the lesson we should draw from this day is that there is a quality common among all of them: a desire to love Our Lord and serve him above all else.

The Power of a Christian Spirit – SSPX Sermons

A Christian without suffering is a contradiction. Yet even in the midst of hardships we constantly want to turn against those around us. To judge that those in our lives have not done something well, have not endured like we believe they should, all the while not accepting the trials in our own lives.
