It almost seems as if we have two kinds of churches. One is the church of evangelization. The other is the church of development. One is the church of individual sanctification and the other that of social action. One emphasizes contemplation and the other political directives...

The sons of Aaron, two young priests, had just been ordained, and they came into the tabernacle where there was the altar of sacrifice, the altar of incense beyond, the golden candlestick, and the bread of perpetual presence. The two sons lit the fires of the altar of interces...

As the rich brother takes upon himself the debts of his bankrupt brother, so our Lord takes upon Himself all the discord and disharmonies and all the sins and all the guilt of man as if He Himself were guilty. As gold is sucked into the furnace to have its dross burned away, s...

Lovers see one another through rose-colored glasses. At every Mass, at the time of consecration, the heavenly Father sees us through His Son. He sees us through rose–colored glasses. We are loveable; we are perfect. This is our supreme moment of relationship to the Godhead thr...

The Mass is not a souvenir. When you go to Mass it is not the same as going, for example, to Calvary and chipping away a rock and saying, “This is a souvenir of the place where our Lord died.” No, the Mass is a vision; it is an action in time and in eternity. It is in time, be...

What is the Mass? The Mass is a drama; it's not a tragedy because there's a Resurrection. In every great drama there is first of all the conception of it strong in the mind of the artist. Second, there are long rehearsals, the choosing of characters and types; third, there is...

Just as the Son revealed the Father, so the Holy Spirit reveals him. These are the words of our Lord, “And He will bring honor to me because it is from Me that He will derive what He makes plain to you, because all that belongs to the Father belongs to Me.” In these words our...

The ascension means we have a high priest in heaven who can sympathize with our weaknesses because He once bore our human lot. First, we say that there’s a human nature in heaven. When God came to this earth, He took upon Himself a human nature. That human nature was thrown in...

There is only one way that pain can be handled, and that is by looking at this scene: the three crosses on Calvary and particularly our Blessed Lord in the middle. He took this absurd symbol of the cross, put Himself upon it, and solved the enigma of life and death. He solved...
