St. Paul in his Epistle to the Phillipians instucts us to Rejoice while minding our Modesty and St. John the Baptist is the perfect example. In the Holy Gospel, we are presented the proclamation of St. John the Baptist who looks to the Christ whom He has always believed in and now knows walks among them. It is a Mystical experience for him and Fr. Stanislaus expounds on this in today's sermon as our example to Rejoice!

When the whole world is screaming their "secular" Christmastime that will be in the trash and by the curb by that afternoon, faithful Catholics across the world remain waiting in the midst of our Advent preparation. Yet, we are not waiting for the "re-birth" of the Infant Messiah but await the Second Coming when He will not do so in peace and humility but in fire and in power! Fr. Stanislaus expounds on the readings from Holy Scripture this week to remind those who desire to remain faithful to the proper traditions of the Church that our preparation is difficult and must include the recognition that over the past year we have failed Our Lord many times. Reflecting on this and remembering the promise of His great Mercy, as recognized and promised to the Gentile nations, we faithful Catholics are not scandalized but comforted in our sorrow as we relect on our shortcomings. However, even doing so, that great comfort we retain from the Holy Scriptures also contains within it the promise of the unfathomable Mercy the Infant Messiah IS.

For this First Sunday of the Advent season, Fr. Stanislaus reminds faithful Catholics everywhere of the need to stop and reflect without getting caught up in the world. The entire world screams of "Christmastime" and when the 26th of December arrives it seems everything of this beautiful Season is thrown in the dustbin. Advent is a time of penetential reflection so as to remember how and why we have arrived to our faithful adhereance to everything that Advent is supposed to be; a time to reflect on our past without the condemnation that we can all fall guilty of. The peace and joy of expection is rooted by our faith in the Infant Messiah of whom we now await His Second Coming which will be terrible and great!

Thanksgiving Day is a uniquely American holiday but the history books do not give us the truth. The 1st Thanksgiving was in 1565 by Catholics in St. Augustine, Florida and they did not begin with the great feast you might think, but the Greatest and Grandest Feast that is still being offered today and every day: the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Every properly catechized Catholic firmly believes and knows that what we should be thankful for most is our Faith and the Holy Sacraments. This Thanksgiving Day, Fr. Stanislaus expounds on the "Confession of St. Peter" from today's Holy Gospel and the instructions of St. Paul from his Epistle to the Philippians.

The changing of the seasons also brings upon us the inching of the proper Roman Calendar towards its end and with that we begin to think concretly about the Four Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell. The modern world implores, especially through social media, that we should take advantage and use those things of the world to the degree of such excess that it begins to shape and form even the most well-meaning Catholic. Yet, as these readings remind us every year, these problems, contradictions, and attacks by modernity upon The Church must consistently and constantly be rejected because its thrown in the face of anyone who has eyes. The true Christian, the proper Catholic, who has a conscious, well-formed through and by the Catechism of theCouncil of Trent (dogmatically and infallibly decreed) has this law written on his heart and mind: "Give unto Ceaser's what is Ceaser's and to God what belongs to God"!

We all have our cross to bear and the combat against evil is something everyone understands. However, in the modern world the true meaning of what is actually "evil" has been lost. The Venerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen often quoted a 19th century French poet named Charles Baudelaire who wrote "The greatest trick of the devil is convincing the world he doesn't exist." Yet, even in Times such as these, we are promised by God Himself that we would always have the means necessary to defeat that very same Evil in our day. This is precisely what St. Paul is exhorting the true believers and followers of "The Way" to do. He reminds them that their belief in Christ Jesus our Lord, who was crucified, died, and was buried then rose on the third day in fulfillment of the Scriptures is what grants each the "armour of God". The evil we fight against and wrestle with is ALWAYS defeated by that "armour of God" which is the girdle of Truth, the Breastplate of Justice, the Gospel of Peace, all shielded by the gift of Faith. While its guarantee is the Paschal Mystery it is only made effective by and through our faith and belief...despite the evils that come before us! That effectiveness rests and is made courageous precisely in the same way it was for our Lord: "But He emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man. He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross" (Phillipians 2:7-8). The cross in each of our lives can be heavy and laden with burden. Thankfully, we have our faith and belief and when things get really tough we cry out and might ask God "Why?". Then, effectiveness of our faith and belief allows the gift of grace to well up in courage and to lift our head to look up and see Him on that Cross of Life and He lovingly looks at us and repeats "Forgive them. for they know not what they do" (St. Luke 23:34). This can only be effective through the practice of Humility. Humility and Forgiveness is what the wicked servant refused of those who needed of him and the consequences are taught to us by our Lord Himself in the holy Gospel reading for today. In the end, only our strength and willingness through Faith and Belief is made Effective by our consent to be humbled...even to the point of dying to our own cross.

This week Fr. Stanislaus ("en missio") discusses two things familiar to most people and probably taken a bit for granted as well: faith and forgiveness. Both are attributes of God: faith, in that it is our recognition of His omnipotence and omniscience over all of Creation and forgiveness, in which we have the greatest opportunity to participate in His all encompassing Love and Mercy. Like the Divine the two cannot be seperated and must both be present in the predisposition of him "who walks circumspectly: not as unwise, but as wise" Ephesians 5:15-16. Nor should either be held lighly to be given away carelessly for they have been wrought and bought by He whom is Love and Mercy Himself, Jesus Christ our Lord!

When Pope Clement XI (1700-1723) instituted this great FeastDay for the 1st Sunday in October in perpetual commemoration and remembrance of the double-victory gained by Christendom under the prayers and leadership of Pope St. Pius V, along with the members of the ArchConfraternity of the Most Holy Rosary, at Lepanto and at Belgrade in 1571 it was immovable until the introduction of Modernity by "modern" Popes and is now, unfortunately, not always celebrated on a Sunday since the Modern Church placed it on October 7. Today, there are additional examples when Our Lady appeared under this title, most strikingly at Fatima and in a lesser known village in Vietnam circa 1972. Fr. Stanislaus teaches about the institution of the Most Holy Rosary aand the intention of its instruction and prayers given directly by Our Lady: peace.

Fr. Stanislaus commemoretes his 1st Anniversary as a Priest by a bit of recollection that will serve as lead into this week's homily. Knowing that He is being setup for a trap, Our Lord circumvents the Pharasee's queary designed for public failure. He turns there "knowledge" of the law and the Prophets into a lesson in regards to grave necessity for each of us to recognize the One True God and with it is to love, as God loves and as you love yourself, our neighbor--or, the "other". Then when we recognize this neighbor in need we should treat him as we excpect to be treated by God. For the Pharisee, who saw himself as the "elite" of his society, this new "law" would never do and so, therfore, they could never love as God loves. The most that person could ever hope to do is to be loving as the world is loving....except the world is not very loving.

The Capttal Sin of Avarice is always physically manifested and the only way out is to seek the Mercy of God...which is yours for the asking! This week, as Fr. Stanislaus prepares to celebrate his 1st Anniversary to the Priesthood of Jesus Christ, we are once again presented with the lesson of the man with dropsy--Avarice--Greed--the inordinate desire for worldly goods. This is the siren call of Modernity and it has infected every aspect of our lives if we are humble enough to RECOGNIZE and willing enough to ask God for FORGIVENESS. Only by these means is one able to recieve the gifts of Faith and Belief in the One, Triune God....unless your GREED has tricked you into making your own god(s) of your earthly treasures.

The utter tenderness and compassion shown to the widow of Naim by our Lord in "re-creating" her son, demonstrates the motivation for His act: God alone holds the power of Life and there before the tumoultous crowds is God Himself- incarnate in human flesh! Yet, they moan and grumble away with fear still not recognizing Him. This week, Fr. Stanislaus discusses how our lives are filled with these moments that almost always end in running with fear from the situation but should always cause our motivation for "action in compassion" as taught by St. Paul and instructed by our Lord in today's Holy Gospel. While these situations in our lives bring sorrow and suffering, no matter how it came about, that suffering, which is your cross to bear, can NEVER be mocked. Yet, who amongst us has not looked upon the sufferings of the poor and rejected and not mocked?

Friend to the greatest of sinners while working amidst other Saints, St. Joseph of Calsantius founded the community our dear Father Founder himself was a part of, the Pauline Congregation of Clerics Regular Poor of the Mother of God of the Pious Schools. Great suffering and turmoil seemed to always follow this man dedicated to educating the poor and abandoned children of the Roman streets in a proper Catholic sacramental education but he never wavered. Even when abandoned and rejected by his own (sinful) brethren he never lost sight of his mission and abandoned everything to God. Where does this strength and fortitude come from? Fr. Stanislaus uses this very happy occassion to honor this "saint amongst saints" and loving spiritual father to our own St. Stanislaus of JesusMary Papczynski.

Faith is not free. While the virtue can and should be practised, the gift can only be used if given by God. For 99% of the people on this earth who they are eventually manifests in our everyday experience but the Fruits of the Spirit are typically hidden, most likely because of some state of humility. Everyone falters or even sins but the person of Faith can never fail despite what obstacles may appear because his goal is unseen in a toxic world. Faith in God and God alone can give one the courage to live everyday and in every way for God first and all good things, according to God, will follow....but you have to die first!

Are you a Good Samaritan? This story pronounced by Jesus over 2000 years ago still resonates in the ears of the world no matter what one chooses to believe. It is a story and a lesson that reverberates through the ages because it "cuts to the quick"--it identifies, admonishes, and judges--correctly what one is bound to overlook in one's own character. Yet, it also contains withiin the folds of its lesson the most tender examples of love, mercy, and compassion--and it comes from the most despised among us!

The perfect fruit of the fullness of Her perfect Purity was Detachment: deteachment froom all things that did not conform to the Holy Will of God. Her "flight to Heaven" is our continual aspiration to remain in everything always focused and "flighted to God". The singular manifestation of God's perfect intention was created as Mother of God and that perfection could never be subject to the lowliness of earthly corruption! Such is the manner and testament of the creation, existence, and manifestaiton of perfection in a human person that the entire world celebrates today in the Feast of the Assumption. The lesson should be for us: God always first, the responsibilities of my proper state in life should always place family responsibility second. The rest is determined on the properly formed catholic catechetical unstandiing, belief, and acceptance of the proper traditional truths as have been taught and handed down by the Church through the centuries.

The recognition of personal sin can be an opportunity to allow our Merciful Creator to renew us once again. Although that place in which He seeks and finds us tends to be long and winding because of our constant distractions which usually manifest in some sort of sinful behavior, we must stand in humble recognition of the need for healing by His Merciful Renewal.

"Trans" is probably the most utilized prefix in the world right now and for all the WRONG reasons. All of the world should be "transfixed" by the real,. present, immutable, and ONLY God. Yet, instead our world is filled with souls who believe themselves to be given the birthright of their own creation...arguably led by a pope who desires for all of Christendom to be transformed by the New Mass because he and all of the Modernist popes have deemed that the Holy Spirit so desires! If there was ever a time in history for the world to see the one, true Transfiguration it would be now. Yet, we are told and taught by every facet of social media that "trans-formation" is self-determined. In other words, the oldest lie in the Book is still believed: You don't have to believe the Truth as it was told to you for you are self-determined and self-governed--you are god!

Love and tears seem to be intermingled in our lives but it is the "tears of Joy" that are forever and that is truly what our experience of Heaven should be. Yet, is it as simple for the Christian to accept and believe or does there seem to be more involved? This week, given the Holy Scripture from St. Paul's Epistle to the church at Corinth and the excert from the Gospel of St. Luke as Our Lord approaches the city and people He so desires, Father Stanislaus expounds upon why Our Lord bursts into lamentations and tears over His native city and His native people. He desires a personal encounter with each of us and it requires the greatest of humiliations: you must recognize your need for Grace.

Vigil Mass with the intention for the complete healing of my niece, Kaitlynn Ybarra, my little "Katydid" who is recovering from a gunshot received on Sunday 7/23/23. Have mercy on us all, O Lord!
