Our
Gospel today has two episodes which appear to be unrelated, except that they
take place in the context of a banquet.
The banqueters gather, and Jesus performs a miracle of healing, on the
Sabbath, from which we observe the tenet of our faith of avoiding servile labor
on the Lord’s Day, except that we must not neglect those actions which are
consistent with the Gospel and of mercy and charity.

Homily - Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost - September 21, 2014
Gal. 5:25-26; 6:1-10; Lk. 7:11-16
This moving passage appears only in the Gospel of Luke. Once again, we see Jesus, whom Luke remembers has an eye for the poor and lowly. Jesus is at the end of His Galilean ministry about to descend to Jerusalem for His cross and resurrection. Up until this time, He has healed, but this is the first instance where He has raised someone from the dead. Fittingly, it is also the first time in which He is referred to as Lord, Kyrios, the name attributed to Him in His Godhead. Only God can give life. The central purpose of this passage is to present us with the object of our faith, that the dead rise to new life in Christ.

Homily - Exaltation of the Holy Cross - September 14, 2014
Phil. 2:5-11; Jn. 12:31-36
The
cross is the fundamental sign of our faith.
We receive it at baptism, when the priest signs our foreheads with the
cross. And we use it all the time as a
sign of the blessings of our salvation in Christ.

Tremendous Value of the Holy Mass
These quotes are taken from the book THE HIDDEN TREASURE - HOLY MASS by St. Leonard. Imprimatur: Michael Augustine Archbishop of New York Jan. 2, 1890
- At the hour of death the Holy Masses you have heard devoutly will be your greatest consolation.
- God forgives you all the venial sins which you are determined to avoid.
- He forgives you all your unknown sins which you never confessed.
- The power of Satan over you is diminished.
- Every Mass will go with you to Judgment and will plead for pardon for you.
- By every Mass you can diminish the temporal punishment due to your sins, more or less, according to your fervor.
- By devoutly assisting at Holy Mass you render the greatest homage possible to the Sacred Humanity of Our Lord.
- Through the Holy Sacrifice, Our Lord Jesus Christ supplies for many of your negligences and omissions.
- By piously hearing Holy Mass you afford the Souls in Purgatory the greatest possible relief.
- One Holy Mass heard during your life will be of more benefit to you than many heard for you after your death.
- Through Holy Mass you are preserved from many dangers and misfortunes which would otherwise have befallen you.
- You shorten your Purgatory by every Mass.
- During the Holy Mass you kneel amid a multitude of holy Angels, who are present at the Adorable Sacrifice with reverential awe.
- Through Holy Mass you are blessed in your temporal goods and affairs.
- When you hear Holy Mass devoutly, offering it to Almighty God in honor of any particular Saint or Angel, thanking God for the favors bestowed on him, etc., you afford that Saint or Angel a new degree of honor, joy and happiness, and draw his special love and protection on yourself.
- Every time you assist at Holy Mass, besides other intentions, you should offer it in honor of the Saint of the day.

Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross - Fr. James Fryar, FSSP - September 14th
Homily - Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost - September 7, 2014
Gal. 3:16-22; Lk. 17:11-19
Luke remembers Jesus who had an eye for the poor and lowly, and so, once again, as in last Sunday’s Gospel of the Good Samaritan, a Samaritan is the hero of our Gospel today.
We have a certain insight into Jesus in today’s Gospel. Leprosy was greatly misunderstood in our Lord’s day. It was considered highly contagious and the result of sin. So the leper lived a life of terrible isolation. People would give them a large girth when passing them by. In fact, they had to wear a bell around their necks so that before the leper was seen, he was heard, and could be avoided.

Homily - Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost - August 31, 2014
2 Cor. 3:4-9; Lk. 10:23-37
There is drama in today’s Gospel. A lawyer asks our Lord a typical question for the day, “What must I do to inherit everlasting life?” And our Lord elicits from him the ages old commandment to love God and neighbor. But then the lawyer asks Him, “And who is my neighbor?” If we were in the crowd, we might bristle a little bit at this question because it is asked in this sense: who is my neighbor, so I may know who I need to love and who I need not to love. Our Lord ever so gently and mercifully tells this beautiful parable where the Samaritan is the hero. Jews and Samaritans had nothing to do with each other. When the Lord asks the lawyer who is the neighbor to the man fallen victim to robbers, he cannot even get himself to say the word, Samaritan. He says simply, “The one who showed him mercy.”
