Pentecost: United In Grace – SSPX Sermons

Pride has plagued mankind from the advent of our creation. So often the devil invites us to seek after achievements that are an affront to Our Lord. In a time long past, our race thought they could attain to the heights of heaven by their own artifice. This sinful pride was met with the dispersion of tongues. Yet God, in His infinite mercy, bequeathed His Apostles with the known languages of man, so that those sheep once lost due their own sinfulness may find a way back to Him for everlasting li...

The Holy Ghost: Flame of Charity – SSPX Sermons

Following Our Lord's Ascension, we celebrate the feast of Pentecost, when the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Ghost enters into the world to guide the Church and the faithful. Although the Holy Ghost did not become incarnate like God the Son, He appears throughout history in many forms. One of those forms is fire. For fire provides illumination, warms our otherwise cold hearts, and purifies us. The fire of the Holy Ghost is not provided to merely dispense pain. It is offered to consume our...

Why Did Our Lord Ascend Into Heaven? – SSPX Sermons

The feast of Our Lord's Ascension celebrates one of the greatest miracles in human history while also calling attention to the joy the Apostles felt when Jesus entered heaven. By entering heaven, Our Lord sets the path that we, too, must follow to be with Him for eternity. Christ is preparing a place for all of us in heaven, so long as we are willing to follow Him. Moreover, we know that after His Resurrection, Christ's body was glorified. And through this glorification, the only natural place f...

We Must Be Supernatural Realists – SSPX Sermons

In this life, we keep our feet on earth, but keep our minds and hearts in heaven. By keeping our feet on earth, we mean that we must be realistic and confront the world as we find it. We must accept our reality, but we must not be overcome by it, particularly when confronted with everything from private desolations to the public crises in the Church and society writ large. However, the whole of reality is not just what we face on earth; it includes the supernatural realm and promise of heaven fo...

What is Heaven? – SSPX Sermons

What is heaven? It is being with God for all eternity. And though God is everywhere, heaven is not everywhere, for we cannot see Him in this life nor detect Him with our senses. Because we cannot perceive Our Lord, we need the light of faith to know that He is there always. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every episode > 🎤 Browse our Sermons Archive on SSPXpodcast.com > 📳 Subscribe to the SSPX on YouTube > ❤️ Like this se...

He Who Prays Will Be Saved – SSPX Sermons

We often pray for things and God does not answer them in the way we desire. Why is that? Prayer is not a magic formula; it is a petition to God. However, the efficacy of our prayers depends on the disposition of our souls. Prayer must be a priority in our lives rather than a mere afterthought. This is distressing, since not only our salvation, but the salvation of others depends on prayer. Everything that is important in the universe depends on prayer. With this in mind, we must reflect on the p...

Moderating Our Speech – SSPX Sermons

St. James informs us in his epistle that faith without works is dead. One of the many works we can perform to demonstrate our faith is to use our tongues, that is, our speech in a Christlike manner. This is immensely challenging given how easy it is to sin with the tongue and how difficult it is to repair the damage caused by that sin. If one uses their tongue to detract or deride another, how does one make those who hear such derision "un-hear" it? This and numerous other sins of the tongue are...

We Are Begotten of God the Father – SSPX Sermons

Our Father in heaven begets the human race. While we know that God has made all things, the act of begetting is distinct. The distinction lies in the fact that when something or someone is begotten, they are of the same nature as the begetter. Humans beget other humans; seals beget other seals. And so when we hear words in Scripture about Our Lord begetting us, it means much more than Him creating us: it means that we are made children of God. Though we are not divine, through both baptism and a...

Committing to Eternity – SSPX Sermons

We get bored with routines and discipline; we seek new experiences and relaxation from what we are called to do. Although it seems like we enjoy change, we resist it when it means abandoning our comforts. On the supernatural level, we recognize that we are born into the temporal world, but we are called to change our spiritual lives because we must commit ourselves to eternity. To reach this supernatural end, it means navigating an ever-changing world while cultivating God's grace. 📺 View / Lis...

The Proper Attitude Toward Work – SSPX Sermons

The feast of St. Joseph the Worker allows us to honor him for providing for both Our Lord Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The effort that we put into work is the result of the fall of the human race with Adam. Work, however, was no way painful nor a punishment at the advent of creation. Some live to work and others find work to be a necessary evil. As this sermon explains, the Catholic position lies in the middle. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX Sermon...

Be Subject to Every Human Creature for God's Sake – SSPX Sermons

In the modern world, individualism runs rampant. Whether such statements come from extreme rebels or philosophers, they contradict the natural order of society whereby we must carry out the orders of superiors. Obedience does not destroy freedom; it perfects it. Although we do not always choose our superiors, particularly our parents, without a commitment to obedience, human society itself unravels to the detriment of all. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX ...

The Resurrected Jesus Consoles – SSPX Sermons

The risen Christ appeared to a chosen few to reveal His resurrection. We are called to believe in this miracle and if we believe, we may see Him forever. The sight of the glorified Christ is the reward of all faithful Christians. For those He appeared to, Our Lord came as a consoler. Moreover, by tradition, Jesus appeared first to Our Lady, His Blessed Mother, because throughout His passion and suffering, she kept the Faith and offered compassion. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > ...

What Is Eternity? – SSPX Sermons

Our existence on earth is fleeting. By faith, we know this and believe in it. When we reflect upon eternity, our minds are not able to directly comprehend it. We measure our existence through time linearly, but eternity is the perpetual now. In the Mass, we bring together the fulness of time and the eternity of Our Lord's sacrifice in one moment, at all hours, and daily on countless altars across the world. Our minds may not be able to comprehend eternity, but through the Catholic Faith we exper...

Doing Our Part to Form Future Priests – SSPX Sermons

The cultivation of vocations cannot merely be part of a communication strategy. They must emerge from an authentic Christian culture. This is why the Society of Saint Pius X has endeavored since its founding to both promote priestly vocations and shape priests in line with Tradition. At the same time, the Society has and continues to inspire Catholic families to foster vocations. For as Our Lord instructed, "Many are called, but few are chosen." Many more are called but do not have the formation...

We Must Submit to God’s Mercy – SSPX Sermons

We must bow to God’s sovereign mercy. It is both great and mighty in our lives. Our perception of this mercy alters with where we are in our lives and experiencing our individual trials. What we often miss is the bigger picture, the expanse of what Our Lord’s love gives to us. We must let go of our expectations and trust we belong to Him fully. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every episode > 🎤 Browse our Sermons Archive on SSPXp...

Our Father, Who Art in Heaven – SSPX Sermons

Our Lord instructed His disciples on how to pray. The Pater Noster , the Our Father, which is a profound prayer that reminds us that God is our father. It is the Holy Trinity that is the father over all of us. He cares and loves us. He desires that we unite ourselves with Him. We relate to God and He invites us to do so. What does that mean for us? How do we comprehend this incredible blessing unique unto us among all of creation? 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to t...

The Resurrection of Jesus: Answers to Objections – SSPX Sermons

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is central to the Catholic Faith. Yet this miracle is perhaps one of the most contested in Christian history, particularly in modern times. Objections range from the Disciples stealing Jesus's body to them imagining His resurrection. In this sermon, the implausibility of these objections are addressed. Moreover, the reasonableness of the Gospel accounts of Our Lord's bodily resurrection are discussed. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe t...

Cast Your Care Upon the Lord – SSPX Sermons

When Our Lord first appears to the Apostles, at first they do not believe and then are overjoyed. A less well known third appearance that Christ made is at the Sea of Galilee, which is recounted in the Gospel of John. Our first pope, St. Peter, dives into the sea to draw close to Christ immediately. And when the Apostles finally meet Him, he has prepared a fire and meal for them. This is just a small example of the great kindness of Our Lord and why we should place our care in His love. 📺 View ...

Why Did Jesus Keep His Wounds? – SSPX Sermons

After His miraculous resurrection, Our Lord appeared to the Apostles to reveal that he was alive the flesh. Christ invites them to come and feel Him while also showing that He can still eat. Our Lord's resurrection was not merely spiritual. He was not a ghost. Further, He showed his sacred wounds as a reminder of His great love for us. These wounds are not an ugly feature; they are glorified because of what they symbolize. Christ suffered for all mankind so that we too may be glorified and unite...

Resurrection Is Forever – SSPX Sermons

How does one describe the glorious Resurrection of Our Lord? It is the greatest victory in human history: over the devil, over sin, and over death. It is Our Lord's triumphant conquering of this universe wounded by sin. Christ has made life the last word, not death. He has paved the way to heaven for all who choose to follow Him. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every episode > 🎤 Browse our Sermons Archive on SSPXpodcast.com >...

He Is Alive – SSPX Sermons

He is alive. The miracle of Christ's glorious resurrection from the tomb is the centrality of the Faith. What we may forget is that He is alive perpetually in heaven and present with us now. It provides us with the perpetual opportunity to have a relationship with Him. Our Lord rose so that He can always be with us if we desire Him.

The Many Sorrows of Mary – SSPX Sermons

The sufferings of Our Lady were endured with trust in Divine Providence. Although we speak of the particular seven sorrows of Mary, there were certainly others. Even before the birth of Our Lord, she endured several, but always quietly and patiently. They increased in intensity. Now we have an opportunity, as we enter the closing days of the most penitential time of the liturgical year, to reflect on her sacrifice. And as we approach the Resurrection of Our Lord, we are reminded to call upon her...

The Abasement of Our Lord – SSPX Sermons

As Our Savior asked His disciples to wait with Him and watch with Him, He invites us to do the same. God appeared to us in the form of a man, humbling Himself. Through this abasement, He seeks to draw us closer to Him and see in this humbling the great mystery of His passion for all to imitate. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every episode > 🎤 Browse our Sermons Archive on SSPXpodcast.com > 📳 Subscribe to the SSPX on YouTube...

Persecution of Our Lord, Persecution of Tradition – SSPX Sermons

During the second half of Lent, the Church does something remarkable in the traditional liturgy: she has us read almost exclusively from the Gospel of St. John. From day 21 until the last day of Lent, there are only two Gospels that are not from St. John, outside the readings of the Passion. It is clear that the Church wants us to focus on this Gospel in order to learn about the Passion. We know that this Gospel is unique. It completes what is laid forth in the Synoptic Gospels by focusing witho...

The Sufferings of Christ's Soul – SSPX Sermons

The suffering of Christ went far beyond what He endured physically. Uncharitable and angry words can inflict immense damage. The rash judgments of others toward Our Lord certainly caused wounds in His heart. Without evidence or good reason, He was subjected repeatedly to accusations that were ultimately untrue. In our own lives, we must think about the power our words have to hurt others and the depth of injury they cause. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX ...

Fiat Lux: From Creation to Christ – SSPX Sermons

"In him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it." Christ is the light entering the world. Although we normally celebrate this momentous event on Christmas, in reality we celebrate it today when Our Lady receives Our Lord into her womb through accepting the miraculous calling of God. And in this great miracle, we have an opportunity to reflect on the work of the Holy Ghost in the creation of the world and the coming of...

Holy Communion: Faith, Fear, and Love – SSPX Sermons

The institution of the Holy Eucharist is one of Our Lord’s greatest miracles. It is the seed of eternal life. For it to be spiritually beneficial we must receive worthily, with faith, fear, and love. These terms may seem easy and casual, but it we must have a profound commitment to God and with the right intention to receive Him. 📺 View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > 🔊 Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every episode > 🎤 Browse our Sermons Archive on SSPXpodcast.com >...

The Screen: More than a Moral Question – SSPX Sermons

The screen often becomes an addiction. It is not just the Church that makes this declaration, but the behavioral sciences also confirm this. Screens are an escape from reality in the same way alcohol and drugs pretend to offer. While we may want to frame it as a moral issue, this pitfall is so much more complex because it rewires your brain.
