Homily #100831 ( 09min) Play – How many will be saved? Our Lord tells us that few will be saved. St. Thomas in his clarity and brevity says, “Those who are saved are in the minority.” Why did Our Lord give us this knowledge? He told us that we might never become presumptuous, that we always might be striving to enter the narrow gate. This is a widespread error in our day and age – everyone goes to Heaven. Let us not be fooled by the lukewarmness and religious indifference prevalent today. Let us work out our salvation in fear and trembling.
Ave Maria! St. Raymund Nonnatus, Confessor – Mass: EF, Os Iusti – Readings:

Homily #100715 ( 11min) Play – Today is the Feast day of St. Bonaventure and Fr. Angelo preaches on how St Bonaventure combined true sanctity and high education and so he became the Seraphic Doctor in the footsteps of his spiritual father, St. Francis, the seraphic saint. St Bonaventure focused on the importance of the will in theology as opposed to St Thomas who focused on the intellect. He also worked to ‘refound’ the order when it was in danger of splitting.

Resp: psa 16:5-5, 7-8, 9, 11

Homily #090128 ( 08min) Play – From the parable of the Sower of the Seed, Fr. Angelo Geiger explains the need for parables both to illustrate the truth and keep it from the proud. He then presents St. Thomas Aquinas as an example of someone who receives the wisdom of the Word of God and through the rich soil of his humility produces abundant fruit.
