Our Mission:
To build a network of faithful, dynamic, and informed parents, students, and alumni, committed to working with Catholic schools, other programs of education and the community at large, to ensure the authentic teaching and protection of our Catholic Faith, and to address issues that undermine our Catholic Faith and Morals.

No Sin Greater Than God’s Mercy
The parable of the prodigal son illustrates God’s infinite mercy and forgiveness, regardless of the magnitude of our sins. We are called to recognize our own unworthiness and extend the same mercy and forgiveness to others, as God has extended it to us. By doing so, we conform ourselves to God’s disposition and become more like Him.

Why God Allows Painful Spiritual Pruning
The Gospel reading and the story of Joseph emphasize the importance of bearing good fruit for God, even in difficult circumstances. God allows struggles and hardships to help us recognize and heal our wounds, enabling us to love and serve Him more fully. By cooperating with God’s plan and working through our challenges, we can bear good fruit and grow spiritually.

This is very excellent. Thank you very much.

The Only Cure for Selfishness
The readings highlight the contrast between selfishness and charity, exemplified by Jeremiah’s selfless message of truth and the apostles’ selfish concerns. Overcoming selfishness through charity, as demonstrated by Jesus and the saints, leads to fulfillment and participation in God’s work of salvation. True fulfillment comes from dying to self and living for others, following Jesus’ example of love and service.

From Head Knowledge to Living Faith
The Gospel reading emphasizes the importance of humility and charity, as exemplified by the widow of Zarephath. True faith requires not just objective belief but also subjective practice, manifesting in selfless love and humility. To achieve this, we must strive to internalize our faith, allowing it to transform our hearts and actions, ultimately leading us to heaven, the ultimate exaltation of love.

Forgive Others If You Want Mercy
The prophet Daniel, in exile, acknowledges the collective sin of his people, including heinous acts like the killing of babies. This serves as a reminder for us to recognize our own sins and seek God’s mercy and forgiveness. We are called to be merciful and forgiving, as God is, and to judge actions and statements objectively, not the subjective motives of others.

Listen to Him Alone Amid Struggles
The transfiguration of Jesus, where His divinity is revealed, offers hope and foreshadows the resurrection. However, it is placed in the context of the Passion and crucifixion, emphasizing the struggles and hardships that come with following Christ. The transfiguration, witnessed by Moses and Elijah, signifies Jesus’ greater role than these prophets, highlighting the ultimate hope of eternal life despite earthly struggles.
The second week of Lent serves as a reminder to persevere in our Lenten practices, focusing on our faith in Jesus Christ. Despite struggles and distractions, we should prioritize our relationship with God, seeking His guidance and peace. By centering our lives on Jesus, we can find hope and fulfillment amidst the challenges we face.

Trust God’s Plan Over Yours
Through baptism, we become children of God, a privilege greater than being the people of God. To truly live as God’s children, we must follow His will, not our own assumptions, and pray without ceasing. By accepting and embracing God’s will, even when difficult, we can find joy and rejoice in His plan for us.

Confess Sins, Receive Eternal Soul Freedom
The sacrament of confession is a beautiful and misunderstood aspect of Catholicism. While some find it difficult to confess their sins, it is essential for receiving God’s forgiveness and cleansing of the soul. Confession allows us to repent and change our lives, leading to eternal life with God.

Repent While Mercy Is Still Offered
The gospel reading highlights the sign of Jonah, emphasizing that the people of Nineveh listened to his message and repented, unlike the generation of Jesus and our own. Despite having the fullness of truth in Jesus Christ, we often ignore or take it for granted. The question remains: what will it take for us to truly listen and live for Him?

Childlike Faith Unlocks Divine Wisdom
The spiritual life calls for simplicity, a childlike openness to God’s revelation. This simplicity, achieved through years of prayer and conforming to Christ, allows us to see God more clearly, shedding attachments and selfishness that hinder our understanding. As we grow in simplicity, we gain greater insight into God’s essence and align our souls more perfectly with His.

True Fulfillment Only Found in Christ
The gospel reading reminds us that Jesus calls us to a higher standard than the Old Testament, urging us to be holy and live with charity and justice. Despite being commanded to love our neighbors as ourselves, we often prioritize ourselves, neglecting kindness and truthfulness. This Lent, we should reflect on whether we are truly living out God’s word and loving others as He loves us.

Father Karl A Claver

Christ said that no one comes through to the Father without Him. So, why are so many denying Our Lord's words, thinking that Heaven is free for everyone.

Build the Spirit, Starve the Flesh
St. Paul emphasizes the importance of not receiving God’s grace in vain, highlighting the acceptable time for salvation. He encourages living a righteous life, even if it offends those who choose the wrong path, as the truth and charity are inherently offensive to sin. Lent serves as a time to strengthen our spiritual muscles by resisting worldly temptations and embracing the truth, even in the face of societal pressure to conform.
Satan tempts us not with overt worship but with the allure of power, pleasure, and worldly success, mirroring the temptations faced by Jesus. This spiritual desert, filled with distractions and temptations, offers a unique opportunity to choose God’s way and become saints. By recognizing our weakness, praying for grace, and actively choosing to live virtuously, we can overcome Satan’s temptations and rise above the evil surrounding us.

Christ’s Temptation and Our Spiritual Battle
The sin of Adam and Eve brought death to all, but the righteousness of Jesus Christ brings life and redemption to all. While Adam’s sin was greater due to his direct command from God, both Adam and Eve were involved in the fall of humanity. The restoration of humanity comes through the one righteous act of Jesus Christ, with the Blessed Virgin Mary in complete unity with His work.
Fr. Altier emphasizes the importance of focusing on Jesus Christ and His righteousness during the holy season. He highlights the temptations Jesus faced in the wilderness, mirroring the temptations humans encounter, such as pride, pleasure, and materialism. He encourages individuals to examine their spiritual lives, prioritize their focus on God, and learn from the examples of Jesus and Mary to choose life and reject sin.

Lenten Fasting Demands True Conversion
The first reading from Isaiah emphasizes the importance of genuine repentance and aligning our hearts with God’s will. During Lent, we should examine our motivations for fasting and other sacrifices, ensuring they are offered to God out of love and not for personal gain. By doing so, we can grow in virtue, resist temptation, and experience true joy in our spiritual journey.

The Feast of The Holy Face of Jesus
The feast of the Holy Face of Jesus Christ is celebrated as a means to overcome communism, which has infiltrated society through media and education. The devotion to the Holy Face, particularly in Minnesota, is seen as a catalyst for exposing fraud and corruption, with the belief that this is just the beginning of revelations. The focus of the feast is on the Passion of Christ, emphasizing the supernatural attraction of His suffering face, which reflects His divinity and calls believers to turn towards Him.
To defeat communism and evil, we must pray and unite ourselves with Jesus’ passion, looking upon His holy face and entering His heart. This requires going beyond the surface and deeply understanding the significance of His sacrifice on the cross. By doing so, we can find peace amidst chaos and participate in the greatest work of our time.

Holy Face Reveals God’s Heart
The first reading describes God being pierced, a concept that seems impossible until one considers the crucifixion of Jesus. The marred face of Jesus, beyond recognition due to his suffering, reveals the divine beauty and love within. This love, shining through his disfigured face, is what draws people to him, transcending the physical and revealing the supernatural.

Joy in Suffering: God's Perfect Plan
St. James encourages us to find joy in trials, as they purify and strengthen our faith. Suffering reveals our weaknesses and helps us grow in virtue, preparing us for heaven. By cooperating with God’s plan and seeing trials as opportunities for growth, we can rejoice in them, knowing they are leading us to eternal life.

Two Choices: Heaven or Hell
The second reading emphasizes the importance of choosing between God’s wisdom and worldly wisdom, highlighting the need for a holiness surpassing that of the scribes and Pharisees. The first reading presents a choice between life and death, good and evil, urging us to actively choose the Lord and not be lukewarm. The gospel challenges us to go beyond the law, addressing anger and lust, and emphasizing the need for genuine commitment to God’s way.
The readings challenge us to choose between God and Satan, heaven and hell. As Lent approaches, we should examine our lives, identify areas of sin and compromise, and strive to conform ourselves to God’s will. This involves rejecting worldly wisdom, embracing prayer, and seeking true holiness.

Power Perfected in Your Weakness
God’s grace is sufficient, even when we feel overwhelmed by difficulties. We often struggle to accept this because our pride prevents us from acknowledging our weakness and allowing God to be strong. However, true strength lies in recognizing our own limitations and surrendering to God’s will, trusting that His grace will always be enough.
