The miracle of the feeding of the 5,000 is recorded by all four evangelists. He did not use it as a moment of self aggrandizement, but rather to prepare the way for the greater miracle of the Holy Eucharist. Our Lord is demonstrating through this miracle that He can not only fulfill us physically by addressing our hunger, but He is the there to fulfill us spiritually through the holy sacrifice of the Mass. πΊ View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > π Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast t...

A specific type of foolish speech that deters progress in the spiritual life is complaining. The act of complaining makes it almost impossible to cooperate with God's grace, for it locks us into ourselves and away from reality. Thus, it removes us from God. Complaining is not the same as making a negative judgment, for sometimes those judgments are necessary. When bitterness and resentment enter into the frame, this is where we begin to poison our spiritual lives by shifting judgment into compla...

Considering the metaphor of cleaning the house, making a good confession immediately comes to mind. Confession, like cleaning, does not begin randomly; first we must assess where to begin and what efforts are required. In the context of confession, this is undertaken through a thorough examination of conscience. This preliminary step is indispensable because it reveals not only those sins we need to confess but also the sometimes radical steps we must take to keep our souls free of filth going f...

We must always desire to become saints. At first blush, this directive may fill us with fear and discouragement. Is this not too much to ask? Are we not encouraged to focus on the little things, like being true to our respective stations in life? These little things are indeed goodβso long as they arise from a supernatural motive. But without an ultimate desire for sanctity, how supernatural can our motives truly be? πΊ View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > π Subscribe to the SSPX Sermon...

One of the great errors the Church has faced over the centuries is the temptation to avoid the Cross. The Church faces this same problem today. Some argue that the traditional Mass focuses too much on Christ's sacrifice on the Cross. We find this mentality expressed in the Novus Ordo Missae or New Mass. This liturgy avoids the concept of sacrifice, replacing it with the idea that the Mass is nothing more than a communal meal. πΊ View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > π Subscribe to the SS...

The spiritual life consists of looking only at Jesus and doing everything for Him. This is what the Church calls purity of intention. Yet rather than simply aiming to please God, we often act to please only ourselves. While it is easy to claim we do everything to please God, this sermon discusses four ways to examine if that's truly the case and encourages us to correct any false intentions. πΊ View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > π Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every epi...

The Church dedicates the month of March to St. Joseph. He is the patron of the Universal Church. Just as the Blessed Virgin is the mother of all Christians, St. Joseph has been entrusted with the care of all, including the Church herself. This makes sense as St. Joseph was entrusted with being the father of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Moreover, he stands as an example for all. He was a man who accepted the will of God completely, even in the face of requests he could not fathom. πΊ View / Listen to t...

Temptations are always part of our lives. Everyone will be challenged by them, as Our Lord was. Then there are what we call the near occasions of sin. Some of us may believe that we can resist them despite succumbing to these vices in the past. We must be aware of our inclinations toward these sins while also adamantly avoiding those situations that would allow us to fall into them. πΊ View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > π Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every episode >...

Lent is a great time to receive graces, but we cannot receive them in vain or let them go to waste. The story of the life of JosΓ© SΓ‘nchez del RΓo, a fourteen year old boy who died a martyr without giving up the Catholic Faith, is a profound example of how we may receive God's grace, indeed God's strength, without relinquishing it even under the most trying circumstances. πΊ View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > π Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every episode > π€ Browse o...

Lent has arrived. Whatever trepidation we may have had leading into this season, the reality is the crosses we are called upon to carry are far less a burden than we hold in our imagination. Lent presents an opportunity for us, indeed a freedom, to practice the virtues we must always adhere to. And this penitential season offers us a renewed opportunity to draw closer to God. πΊ View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > π Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every episode > π€ Bro...

Having arrived this season of penance, Holy Lent, we may look forward to the opportunity to put forth the effort of accepting God's graces for the good of our salvation. It is not a burden to shy away from. In this season we can find the courage to do as we ought, to look straight on toward the great gift Our Lord has bestowed upon us. All are free now to do what perhaps we felt throughout the year we could not do, namely embrace God's love and live in accordance with His will. πΊ View / Listen ...

As the Society of Saint Pius X is looking toward new consecrations and the threat of sanctions, we must never forget that this act is one of charity for the good of the Catholic Church. The Society esteems and loves what is most perfect, Who is God. And it is for God and His Church, that He established for the salvation of souls, which the Society serves. The Society will continue to serve this mission regardless of any adversity placed before it. πΊ View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > ...

Christ's teachings are often presented as a paradox. We may puzzle over Or Lord's teaching that in our weakness we may be strong. But in reflecting on this puzzling teaching, we understand that in knowing our weakness and frailty, it is God alone Who gives us strength. In humility, we understand that above all else we need God and that our weaknesses are not an affliction to be disparaged, but rather an opportunity to draw closer to Him. πΊ View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > π Subscri...

The announcement of the Society of Saint Pius X's forthcoming episcopal consecrations has caused mixed emotions, ranging from relief to fear. There can be no doubt about the seriousness of this decision. However, it must be examined in the light of the seriousness of the situation that has brought it about, namely the ongoing crisis in the Catholic Church. The decision to consecrate new bishops for the Society is not an act of defiance, but done out of a genuine desire to save souls. πΊ View / L...

As enter the period of transition from Christmas and Epiphany to Lent, it is time for us to reflect on how to prepare for this penitential season. It is a time of clearing out obstacles to God's grace. When it comes to our penances, mortifications, and resolutions, they must always be done out of the love for God. All of these entail some degree of suffering, but we must remember the suffering of Our Savior for us while elevating these acts above the level of mere self-improvement and toward gro...

The Feast of the Purification, otherwise known as Candlemas, represents the end of the Christmas liturgical cycle. It is also a feast directed toward Our Lord and Simeon's great longing for the day of His Incarnation. Simeon represents the expectation of the nations, awaiting the day when God would come to dispel darkness from the world. πΊ View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > π Subscribe to the SSPX Sermons podcast to get every episode > π€ Browse our Sermons Archive on SSPXpodcast....

When Our Lord heals both the leper and the Centurion's servant. He awards both men for their faith, humility, and submission to His will. The account of these miracles of Christ are united in these men overcoming their discouragement and looking to Our Lord with both faith and a willingness to submit to God's will. Every person has set backs. Every person gets discouraged. But ultimately, uniting our will with God's, as trying as that can be at times, is the true path to sanctity. He will never ...

In the Gospels, we are met with the story of the leper who says a simple but profound prayer, "Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean." He desires to be rid of his affliction, but ultimately he leaves it up to God's will. In a distant time before this leper met Our Lord, we are taught in Scripture of Job, a man who lived righteously his whole life with much abundance, which was taken away. Despite numerous temptations, he remained faithful to God and, like the leper, practiced a holy indif...

The missionary spirt of the Catholic Church is driven by a sincere desire to deliver the truth for those poor souls who are without it. Sadly, the ideology of ecumenism has both deprived the Church of this spirit and promoted the idea about what is good in other religions. By the great grace we have been given as Catholics, it is incumbent upon us to spread the faith, to teach others who want to know, and by our acts, demonstrate how knowing God's revelation has transformed our lives and can tra...

Holy Mother Church assigns the liturgical calendar to reinforce crucial lessons for our lives. Of the seven sacraments, two are designated by God for the good of society: the priesthood and marriage. At the Wedding at Cana, God specifically elevated what was natural to the supernatural by blessing that union.

When we reflect on the Nativity, our minds go immediately to St. Joseph. He lived a life of uncertainty, but he was called by God to accomplish the greatest task any man in history was called upon.

He may never have believed himself sufficient to what was asked, but through prayer and faith, he accomplished the greatest calling any man could be as...

The Holy Family stands as an example of what a family should be. The Church itself is a family as well. Yet today there is a revolution that seeks to undermine the proper order of both human families and the Church family by removing their hierarchical structure in favor of a bottom-up approach to authority. Added to this is the temptation to view the family not as a home, but as a hub where each individual member may pass through living their own life, but without a common commitment to the goo...

In 1892, Pope Leo XIII published an apostolic letter exhorting Catholic families to look to the Holy Family for inspiration and guidance. Fathers, for instance, should look to St. Joseph as a model of vigilance and care. They bear the heavy burden of being answerable to God for the spiritual welfare of their families. They must support their families in knowing, loving, and serving God. At the same time, mothers should look to the Blessed Virgin to cultivate the necessary virtues of love, modest...

In various and often surprising ways, God reveals Himself through signs and miracles in order to draw humanity close to Him, including pagans such as the Magi. And it is the Magi who provide a model of adoration, knowing as they do that the most fundamental duty of man is to worship the true God. Through adoration and worship, we profess our complete dependence on God while acknowledging there is nothing higher than Him. πΊ View / Listen to this Sermon on YouTube > π Subscribe to the SSPX Se...

When God created Adam and Eve, he also created the family by uniting them in marriage. When Our Lord came down from heaven, He did so in the context of the family, specifically the Holy Family consisting of Himself along with St. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is easy to conceive that it was within the Holy Family that Christ learned the practice of prayer. The Gospel of St. Luke testifies to the fact that, as a family, they visited the Temple to pray. And so we, too, can use the prayer ...

The blessed and holy name of Jesus is the one that God has chosen for Himself. While in the Old Testament God's name was forbidden to be spoken, with the coming of Christ, God provides His people a name to speak aloud in prayer for their salvation. Jesus's name is Who He is: Savior. However, even with this great gift, we are forced to ask ourselves, "Do we really want to be saved?" For out of our pridefulness and misplaced desire for self-reliance, we want to earn salvation on our own merits wit...
