Sunday Sermon

How we can use Spiritual Communion to come closer to Jesus and to cast our care upon Him in these trying times?

What should we do, when we realize that the world we live in is a cess pool? How do we purify our minds and guard our hearts from the dangers of this world?

Let us at once and in good earnest return to God. He has long and often sought after us. He has often spoken to our hearts; often reproached our ingratitude, and shown us His judgments. There is not a path in which He has not pursued us, not a truth which He has not pressed upon us. In short, He has employed every artifice and expedient to win our hearts, and to attract us to His service -- love, kindness, the joys of Heaven, the punishments of Hell, the instability of human life, etc. Let us then remember well those words of the Holy Ghost -- Put not off from day to day. Even tomorrow, for aught we know, may be too late.

Today the Lord teaches us a manifold lesson regarding sight, both physical and spiritual. Just as our eyes must be rightly working in order for us to see physical things as they are, so also must our mind be rightly working in order for our soul to see spiritual things as they are.

We must see rightly if we are to act rightly. For one can not serve two masters, and one must see clearly if one is to follow the True Master, God Himself.

THE FRUIT OF ANGER: As I like to say, there is nothing necessarily wrong with anger or being angry. We all get angry at times. Sometimes rightly and sometimes wrongly, though. But anger in and of itself is simply an emotion and we all have emotions. But it is typically what we do with the anger that gets us into trouble.

You may be asking, "What in the world does Baptism and Ice Cream have to do with each other?" Let me tell you.......

When is the right time to come unto Christ and to follow Him? Now!

This Second Sunday after Pentecost, we turn our eyes and our ears to our Lord's call to repentance and belief in the Gospel, for this is the vocation of every Christian soul.

Our Lord's call is heard by the humble fishermen of Galilee who do not hesitate to heed the invitation of our Lord: Come, follow me! In following Christ, they left behind all in order to find all.

Our Lord likewise instructs and calls each of us today. Are we ready to act as the Apostles did?

"God has promised forgiveness to your repentance, but He has not promised tomorrow to your procrastination."-Saint Augustine

We look up to a whole host of people but the only person that truly matters is Our Blessed Saviour. It is Jesus Who came to die for us. It is Jesus Who came to save us from our sins. It is Jesus Who defeated death so that you and I could have everlasting life with Him.

Communicating with words is one of the distinguishing marks of human existence. Like so many aspects of human life, however, communication is a gift from God that can be abused. Whether our tongue is used for cursing others or cussin’ others, we must guard against such abuse.
