Listen as he explains how Jesus is refuting the idea that the Jews, the First Born, do not have an exclusive right to the kingdom of God nor a necessarily higher place in the kingdom and how this shows the super-abundant nature of God’s goodness and, in turn, how we can always have hope for salvation even at the eleventh hour.

Homily #080831 ( 25min) Play - This is where the rubber meets the road! Its not enough to be orthodox, its not enough to believe in the Eucharist, its not enough to receive Communion on the knees and on the tongue, its not enough to be at a traditional liturgy - we must live what we celebrate. Much better to go to a simple rubric correct but simple Novus Ordo Mass than to go to the highest most solemn traditional Mass and miss this point! This is where the rubber meets the road! If we don’t carry our Cross then we don’t have an authentic spiritual life - no matter what else we do in our Holy Religion.
Ave Maria! Mass readings

Standing Fast #28 - A Young Knight recites the Four Rules of Knighthood ( 2min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

This was sent to us by someone who attended the last Knights of Lepanto Encampment with his son who is the main actor along with Fr. Angelo. He filmed it himself and his children edited it, pretty good for a first try. We need more Catholics doing this. Bravo!

They cover the four rules of being a knight that were discussed at the encampment. These are:

1. Morning Act of Offering

2. Daily Examination of Conscience

3. Treat your Mother with Respect

4. Treat your Sister(s) with Respect

This sounds really tough for a knight of any age, but for one so young! But, hey, no pain no gain. At least there is no “Clean your Room Every Day.” Or is this included in “Treat your Mother with Respect”?

Ave Maria!
