Here is another from Fr. Angelo on MaryVictrix that was missed in the last two weeks here on AirMaria. This one was from March 31st. We hope to improve our performance in the future.
The following is an Easter Truce of God, based on one decreed by the emperor Henry IV in 1085. It is only a suggestion. Use your prudent judgment. (Here it is in a more ceremonial form in pdf).
Whereas in our times this holy household has been afflicted beyond measure by tribulations through having to join in suffering so many oppressions and dangers, we have so striven to aid it, with God’s help, that the peace which we could not make lasting by reason of our sins, we should to some extent make binding by at least exempting certain days.
In the year of the Lord’s incarnation, 2010, it has been decreed by God’s mediation, the Queen and all of import unanimously agreeing, that from Holy Thursday at the time of the Lord’s Supper until sunrise on Easter Monday, this decree of peace shall be preserved. (more…)
Homily #100404 (11min) Play – Fr. Angelo preaches on the Resurrection and how it removes what separates us from God, that is, sin, guilt, disbelief and death. As Jesus escapes from the sealed tomb, which is a symbolic barrier to rising, so too the fact that the angels then rolled back the stone and revealed the empty tomb is a removal of the barrier to our belief and trust in Christ and so removes the obstacles to eternal light and life for us all.
Ave Maria! Easter Sunday – Mass: EF, Resurrexi – Readings: 1st: 1co 5:7-8 – Gsp: mar 16:1-7
On our trip for the March for Life in 2009, Father Angelo Mary Geiger, brought us to this beautiful Monastery. It is a must see if you ever visit D.C.. It is the closest place to the Holy Land we have here. The interior along with the grounds of the Monastery are beautiful.
Homily #090216 (06min) Play – Some people look for miracles for the wrong reasons. Our Lord knew who these were and refused to perform them. Padre Pio who also could perform miracles would also refuse for the same reason and often would bring these people to a change of heart.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord.
“Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.” And all spoke highly of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth.
Every one of us is the poor, the blind and the oppressed to be set free by the Gospel of Christ from our sins and the tyranny and darkness of atheistic materialism.

Homily #081026 (24min) Play – Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time – Fr. Angelo preaches on the Gospel’s message that the key to the Law of God is to love one’s neighbor out of a profound love of God.

Homily #080718s (15min) Play – Fr. Angelo preaches on the opening of the Knights of Lepanto encampment. He focuses on the message of today’s Gospel Reading “I desire mercy, not sacrifice,” that we should be generous toward our neighbor in order to be virtuous and, so, make pleasing sacrifice to God. He then ties this to the virtues of Chivalry and to the example of Thom and Marc Girard, our beloved fellow knights who have passed into eternity.
Homily #080715 (12min) Play – Fr. Angelo preaches on the feastday of St. Bonaventure. He outlines the life and teaching of this saint and doctor, focusing on how he was a great mystic as well as a scholar and even a wise and prudent leader as Minister general of the Franciscans, refocusing them after the death of St. Francis and as Cardinal of the Church working for the unity between the East and West Church.

This is the secret of Joy to love and serve your neighbor out of Love for God.

Homily #080521 (10min) Play – To know what to do is not enough. We must actually do it. Fr.
