Check the Dean’s sermons and reflections from past Sundays and holydays.
The name Et Reliqua is taken from the Office of Matins, in which the commentary by the Church Fathers on the Gospel of the day is preceded by part of the Gospel itself. Rather than read the Gospel in its entirety, only the first sentence is included, followed by the words, Et Reliqua, translated into English as “And so on and that which followeth.”
There probably isn’t a more fearful Sunday in the year than this Last Sunday after Pentecost. When our Lord speaks of the abomination of desolation being established in our holy place, his terrible prophecies fill us with dread—more so this year than ever, as the Bergoglian church is on the
The Carthusian Order was founded by St. Bruno in the year 1084. The motto and arms of the order consists (as I’ve mentioned before more than once) of a globe representing the world, with a cross standing on the top of it. If we had a modern version today, what
In the days since the Election we have been entertained by the spectacle of the far left in meltdown. From the politicians and bureaucrats of Washington to the celebrities of Hollywood, evangelists of the woke theology have been in a mindless state of denial, panic and vitriol, fighting and blaming
Early this past Wednesday morning our nation breathed a collective sigh of relief as votes were finally tallied and it became clear that the progressive agenda had been rejected on a massive scale. Depression, anxiety, fear, anger, were all lifted from our shoulders and we experienced something we had almost
A message from His Grace Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò Donald J. Trump’s victory in the electoral competition for the Presidency of the United States of America constitutes a historic moment in the dramatic events of the present and marks a formidable setback for the criminal plan of the New World
As yesterday was All Souls’ Day, we’re going to take a look today at death. Not a long look, and hopefully not a fearful or depressing look at death. But there’s something we need to figure out so we can best prepare for this last great milestone in our lives.
As we enter November, the month of the Holy Souls, it is fitting that we review the Sacrament that helps us transition from this life to the next, diverting us from the path to the eternal fire and preparing us for Judgment. The Sacrament of Extreme Unction (or “Last Anointing”)
During our Lord’s most well-known sermon, the Sermon on the Mount, he gave to his disciples an eight-fold list of what is required from the Church Militant in order to gain the everlasting bliss of heaven. In other words, these Eight Beatitudes lay out what we need to do if
Our Lord gives us two commandments in today’s Gospel. Not the famous “Love God and Love Thy Neighbor” commandments, but two other distinct duties we must fulfill towards God and Caesar, or in other words, towards Church and State. As our Lord pointed out, all laws depend on the first
With our blessed Lord commanding us in today’s Gospel to “Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s” it’s a good time to take a look at who Caesar is in our case, and what we should give him. Back in our Lord’s day, there was, of course, no doubt
There’s something our Lord told us that most people just don’t seem to get. It’s a hidden gem almost hidden in his words, and we skim over them without thinking. We need to take a closer look at that line where our Lord tells us that after loving God, the
On this day many years ago, tens of thousands of people gathered together to witness a miracle. They didn’t know ahead of time that it would be a miracle. There were many people there who thought, perhaps cynically, that nothing at all would happen and that three small children would
You know what the problem is with the “woke folk?” They believe that everything can be improved on. Everything must be constantly changed in order to make it more “relevant” to the current whims of the world. They fail to realize that there are some things that should be left
God has consistently sent messengers to tell us what we must do to save our souls. In the Old Testament he sent prophets to remind the people of God to remain faithful to their laws. In the New Testament he sent his only-begotten Son, who actually made reparation for all
In the book of Daniel, we read that thousands of thousands of Angels ministered to God, and ten thousand times an hundred thousand stood before him. The number of the Angels is in fact so great that the Angels themselves cannot count it. It is a number that only their Maker
I’m sure many of you will know that old song of Louis Armstrong, called “What a wonderful world”. It is, in its own small way, a reminder that this world of ours was created by God in his own image and likeness, and that it is therefore, a world of
I know you must be sick and tired of me talking about all the terrible things happening around us in this world of sin. The reason I keep coming back to this subject is twofold. Firstly because we are under a perpetual onslaught of evil coming from every direction imaginable,
So many things go through our head this month of September. With the ever approaching darkness of winter, we are introduced to new sentiments of anxiety and fear that had been dispelled for a while by the summer sunshine. The usual suspects—the conciliar Church and the deep state of our
“There stood by the cross of Jesus his mother.” During the course of her life, the Blessed Virgin Mary had to endure many sufferings. Chief of these were the seven sorrows we commemorate today. We’re familiar with them, or should be, by now: two of them in our Lord’s infancy,
Of all the dreadful moments that slowly passed during our Lord’s bitter Passion and Death on the Cross, we cannot over-emphasize the importance of his words to his Blessed Mother and beloved Apostle St. John: “When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he
