God should not be mocked, for He does what He says and He follows through. Yet in the world today, groups possessed by false ideologies go out of their way to mock Him. Sadly, we saw this transpire during the Jubilee Year in Rome when the so-called “LGBT” community invaded St. Peter’s Basilica to spread their false beliefs in defiance of divine and natural law.

The life of man on earth is warfare against the flesh, the world, and the devil. A secret weapon in this war is offering our joys to the Lord. Joy, which is a uniquely human experience, is available to be offered to God. For in so doing, we recognize that the things in this life that bring us true joy come from God alone and it is to Him that we owe our thanks.

When we assess who a good person is, we must look beyond their natural virtues to see the extent to which they conform their life to God. For God alone is good and so we must never lose sight that it is His goodness alone that elevates us supernaturally. In the martyrs, we find an example of those who have conformed their lives to God’s goodness while displaying their ultimate love for Him through their sacrifice.

The Cross is the key to understanding Our Lord, the Catholic religion, the work of redemption, and our duties. If we do not understand the mystery of the Cross, then we can understand nothing. One of the main causes of the crisis in the Church is the desire to create a new religion without the Cross at the center.

The Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross celebrates the return of the Cross through the efforts of the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius against the Persians. However, only when Heraclius humbled himself by removing his royal raiment was he able to bring the Cross back into Jerusalem. At the same time, this feast reminds us of the cruciform structure of many churches, the present of crosses throughout, and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

By the world’s wisdom, Christ’s voluntary death upon the Cross was both shameful and foolish. And yet know that through the Cross, Christ attained victory over this world and the devil. When we fall short in this life through sinning and opt to quit, that is, flee the Cross of Christ, we embrace the foolishness of this world.

On the feast of the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we have the opportunity to reflect on the importance of this feast for the Society of Saint Pius X. In union with Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who Our Lady brought into the world and stood with painfully at the Cross, Mary dedicated the whole of her life for the redemption of mankind. Her designated role in our salvation as Co-Redemptrix is particularly material when we consider the Society’s mission of forming holy priests who stand in persona Christi to provide sacramental grace to the faithful.

Rome is the historic center of the Catholic Church where the popes through the centuries continue to profess the Faith as handed down from the Apostles. They are our models and pillars that we cling to. We do not know when the end of time will occurs, but we entrust ourselves to the Church and authentic papal teachings perpetually, while making ourselves ready for the constant struggle against the temptations of the world.

The priests are the human instruments working through the grace of the Church, as God ordained. What the angels cannot do, the priests ordained for God can. The priests carry out the same mission to the people of the world as Christ granted to St. Paul and the Apostles through His sanctification. They are entrusted not just to keep the traditions of the Church as bestowed through the teachings of the Apostles, but to perpetuate the Faith through their sacred ministry.

Our Lady’s conception is the beginning of our redemption. Her coming was prefigured throughout salvation history. Throughout the Old Testament, we can see how God showed her coming as a preparation for the great coming of His Son, Christ Our Lord.
