Holy Families are Possible
Bishop B. Felley, SSPX
"The Feast of the Holy Family was introduced by Pope Leo XIII in 1892. Why? Because the Catholic Church saw that of the many attacks against Christian life in the modern age, the family was one of the primary targets. For it is in the family that young Catholics are formed and educated in the Faith. Marriage itself, as a sacrament, is a source of grace and a sacred place. In this enriching sermon, Bishop Bernard Fellay explores the meaning of the family in a Catholic context and explains why the maintenance of holy families is not only possible, but crucial for the survival of the Church."
Louis & Zelie Martin (July 12): Populating Heaven with a Rose Garden of Saints
Sermon by unknown priest
A beautiful sermon on the life of Sts. Louis and Zelie Martin and how they turned sufferings into sacrifices offered back to God. They understood the true meaning of selflessness and the giving of themselves for God and to aid each other and their family home to Heaven. This is a must see/listen to!
St. Therese and the Joy of Imperfection
SSPX Priest
"Many of us place our happiness in material things or in always getting our way. St. Thérèse of Lisieux, by comparison, finds happiness in her own imperfections and her need for God’s mercy. So we, too, must not only see our own imperfections, but be at peace with them."
Christ as Teacher
Superior General of SSPX, Fr. Don Davide Pagliarani
Our Lord is an example for families as He is a teacher. Every father is a teacher for their children. The paternity of God the Father is like none other. Christ was a child and a son. He had perfect obedience to God the Father and to His parents on earth. "All His life and mission was a work of obedience. He came into this world to do the work of His Father." Christ is not only a teacher to all men but He gave us His own life as an example for us to follow in obedience. Join Father Pagliarani as he dives deeper into this example of Christ as a teacher and God the Father's role in our lives as a true Father.
The Key to a Happy Family Life
Current District Superior of USA:
Fr. J. Fullerton, SSPX
Our Lord's presence in our homes is the key to a happy family life. Father makes this clear by saying among other things, "And indeed in the home, is the place that the Lord especially should be with us....... Sadly the Lord is lacking in the home. He is supposed to be the center of the home. .....He is lacking." And thus going on he makes clear how essential this Divine presence is for a happy family, not just survive, but to thrive.
It's Time to Step Up
Fr. G. Beck, SSPX
During our times, there's a great temptation to discouragement, but our efforts must not be paralyzed. Now is not a time for half measures as we take care of the souls entrusted to us. The present situations are allowed by God to help us recognize our great need of Him and to help us turn our gaze to Him. We can't fight alone but we need God as He is our aid as we carry our crosses. We have to accept the situations before us in an effort to grow. With God all things are possible and He will never abandon us as we are His children and He is our Father.
The Mystical Body of the Family
Fr. L. Novak, SSPX
On this Feast of the Holy Family, Father talks about the honor and reverence that the Holy Family gave to God the Father. Each in their own way and in their distinct roles. The head, heart, and the children of the family each represent Christ in His Church and a model of obedience to each other and God. A family is a companionship and a unit working together by following the laws of God and His holy will.
