Fr Alan reflects on Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word of God, who became the bridge for us between temporal existence and eternal life, by taking our flesh in time, and bringing it with His divinity into forever and the glory of His Kingdom (Nov 25, 2023 - Saturday of the Thirty-third Week in Ordinary Time - votive Mass of Our Lady of Guadalupe). Living as many do under the spell of "absolute materialism," propagated through media brainwashing and cultural indoctrination, it behooves us to focus on Christ the Mediator, who shatters all illusions of utopia on earth, through his death, resurrection, and ascension into Heaven. His Kingdom is "not of this world," and His Children will cross the bridge from temporal life to eternal, in faith and through His grace.

Fr Andre M. Feain gives the homily for the Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time (Nov 19, 2023), on the recent statement on Freemasonry by Pope Francis, in which he reiterates the 1993 statement of Pope St. John Paul II (JP II) indicating the prohibition against Catholics being members of Freemasonry. The hidden operation of Freemasonry, with its agenda of "naturalism," is counter to the beliefs and objectives of the Church, undermining faith in God by denying grace and Christ's supernatural action of the Church and the Sacraments for the salvation of souls.

Fr Alan B. Maria Wharton gives the homily on Nov 18, 2023 (votive Mass in honor of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, for the Memorial of the Blessed Virgin on Saturday) on how the parable of the widow who persists in prayer points to the inevitability of God's justice, the belief in which we adhere to faithfully, under all circumstances, for as long as it takes. Our confident persistence is the guarantee that the Lord will find faith on earth, even if the justice He promises will only manifest fully at the end of the age when He comes again.

Fr Matthias gives the homily for the Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time at New Bedford, on Nov 12, 2023, speaking about hope. The human heart desires for more that what the false gods of other religions promise. If anyone hopes for anything besides what Christ has promised, he has no hope. If a person fails to search elsewhere and clings to hope that he knows is false, he is truly without hope – and through his own fault.
