Pray the Rosary Every Day – SSPX Sermons
After World War II, Austria was partitioned, with its most Catholic portion, including Vienna, was given over to communist Russia. Through a consistent Rosary Crusade, the Russians withdrew their occupation. It is but one example of the thousands upon thousands of such crusades in history. Whether the intentions have been small or large, repairing to the Rosary has brought great blessings. The most important of these is the sanctification of the faithful.

Your Best Self Is Your Holiest Self – SSPX Sermons
We often must use metaphors to describe the supernatural. These metaphors assist in the pursuit of holiness, which should be the goal of every person to become a saint. There are, of course, a myriad of good goals in life because we are intimidated by the idea of saintliness. It feels like this end is beyond us. Yet all these goals we set for ourselves, ranging from being a good Catholic father to a good Catholic professional, should build toward holiness and make us better disciples of Our Lord.

Prayer & St Therese – SSPX Sermons
Sanctity is the same as pleasing God. What Our Lord looks for is our intention to draw close to Him. God does not take an accounting of our actions, but rather looks at the sincerity of our intention in every act that we perform. We must have confidence in the goodness of God despite the situation of the world and our own shortcomings.

The Strength of St. Michael – SSPX Sermons
Michael means “who is like unto God.” It signifies his unique strength and special purpose in salvation history. St. Michael’s service to Our Lord should not be understood in a purely militant way. He is an icon of remaining vigilant to serve God, in whatever way we are called to do. His service to Our Lord is also a reminder that we must be humble, for St. Michael assisted in casting down rebellious angels, and so we must ask ourselves if we are any better than they.

...Who Are You, O Immaculata? – SSPX Sermons
Our Lady’s role in our redemption is singular. We know from the beginning and end of Scripture that Mary brings us to Christ. She is our mother and it belongs to her to destroy all heresy, all evil, and ensure the triumph of God in the world.

...The Power of Humility - SSPX Sermons
To love God with our whole heart, mind, and soul is not something we can achieve on our own. What we must do is ask the Our Lord for the grace to abide by this command. In order to do this, we must cultivate a spirit of humility. We too often believe that our own natural efforts can lead us to taking a virtuous path. Yet without God, we can do nothing.

Friend, Go Up Higher - SSPX Sermons
The expression “friend, go up higher” sounds like both an encouragement and a command. All of God’s commands are intended for our betterment. God approaches us as friends, not a tyrant. He encourages us along the path of life’s way. Through His grace, we are elevated to the possibility of eternal life.

Trusting Providence – SSPX Sermons
God will take care of us despite the difficulties we face in life. We can believe in God’s providence and still feel overwhelmed. We claim that we trust in God, but still pull back. He knows us totally. If we lose sight of this, pray reflectively the Pater Noster (Our Father).

Without Me You Can Do Nothing – SSPX Sermons
The Church prays in conformity with the truth that without Our Lord Jesus Christ, we can do nothing. It is a self-deception rooted in pride to think we can accomplish anything without God. To believe otherwise emerges from pride, and the only cure is to humble ourselves. God is the source of all good and all honor and glory belongs to Him.

St. Pius X and His Example for Us – SSPX Sermons
St. Pius X is a model for us of Catholic virtue. He did not seek exaltation, including the papacy. Yet despite his great record of being a pastor of souls, he was resistant to be elected. He saw the great challenges to both the Church and society. Despite his reservations, he rose up to be a great leader of the Church and an example for all down to this day.

How To Live Free – SSPX Sermons
No man can serve two masters. Yet we long for freedom. Truth is our access to freedom. And the only way to freedom is through the actual Truth, which is Our Lord Jesus Christ. The world tempts all of us with false freedom. Our Lord promises only the true path to true freedom.

The parable of the Good Samaritan teaches us a dual lesson. First, the imagery of Christ’s compassion. The second, of mankind being graciously wounded since the Fall. Yet the Good Samaritan is a symbol of Our Lord to provide the man afflicted on the side of the road with the greatness of grace.

We need to be reminded that we are blessed. Every day we wake up is a blessing. Yet daily, what is our attitude toward this blessing? The joys come easy; the hardships and trials do not. Yet each moment of our lives is a gift. They are a gift from God to work for our salvation. To grow in love for Him. Yet we are often discouraged. We do not appreciate that each day, we get to grow in holiness. We get to be the people He created us for. We get the glorious gift of life.

Why Was Mary Assumed Into Heaven? – SSPX Sermons
The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is one of the great feasts we celebrate in the Catholic Church. At the end of her earthly life, she was taken to heaven. It is a belief the Church has held dear since the beginning. There are no relics of her precious body. There are not even forgeries. The Church teaches and the faithful have always believed in this truth, which remains a sign of her unique calling in salvation history.

The Greatest Temptation for Good Souls – SSPX Sermons
The most dangerous temptation is discouragement. Throughout our lives we will meet obstacles, small and large. Even when we do good and what God calls us to do, we will ask at times, "Have I failed? Is God disappointed in me?" This temptation is a barrier to perseverance. It leads you to believe you are far from Our Lord. And ultimately, it compels us to give up unless we remember, through prayer, that God is always with us. That reality overcomes every temptation.

Avoiding the Sin of the Pharisee – SSPX Sermons
The parable of the Publican and Pharisee presents an opportunity to reflect on our own hypocrisy when we exalt ourselves at the expense of others. It is altogether easy to point to the faults of others without reflecting prayerfully on our own. We must humble ourselves before God. In every endeavor in our lives, there is a the reality that we have sinned. For that, we need to seek Our Lord's forgiveness. We must also remain vigilant to refrain from judging others who are seeking the same grace.

How to Profit from Everything – SSPX Sermons
In this world, we encounter people whose souls are in different states. Some are indifferent to the things of God. Others are fervent. We also meet those who find spiritual fruit in everything. Whether it is a trial or a grace, they find an opportunity for spiritual growth during every stage on life's way. They do this by accepting the trials that are placed in front of them. It is no easy thing, but it is a necessary step on the path to holiness.

Meekness, Tolerance, and Christian Charity (Part 2) – SSPX Sermons
What is the meaning of tolerance? It means to bear someone else's faults, even if we do not know where they emanate from. Perhaps others have habits and opinions we find disagreeable. Some are grave. Some are not so important. Even when we know that another person is in the wrong, even fellow Catholics, we are never called upon to tolerate or ignore error. However, even being armed with the truth, we are not asked to weaponize it but rather exercise charity in correcting others, not for our own glory, but for God's.

Meekness, Tolerance, and Christian Charity (Part 1) – SSPX Sermons
What is a virtue? It is a good habit. On the flip side, there are vices. To have an authentic virtue that is pleasing in the eyes of God means that have to be in a state of grace. In this day and age, we have become accustomed to our worldly comforts. Moreover, when it comes to the virtue of meekness, we are tempted to throw it off under the false desire to not look week. We wish to be militant. But often that does not come from a desire to serve Our Lord, but rather from our own pridefulness...
Wise as Serpents, Simple as Doves - SSPX Sermons
In the parable of the unjust steward, we are often confused by this parable because of the injustice embedded in the story. However, Our Lord calls us to look beyond the injustice and instead focus on being wise stewards of our earthly goods. When it comes to those things that transcend this earthly realm, specifically our final reward in heaven, we must be exponentially more clever and wise to attain it. And with this, we must not become overly attached to worldly goods, but use them prudently to help us and others toward our final end.

The Power of the Hail Mary – SSPX Sermons
Every word of the Hail Mary (Ave Maria) is a treasure. It is a prayer, whether recited on its own or in the context of the Rosary, that can be applied to innumerable intentions, be it for the end of a war or the alleviation of another's spiritual suffering. Our Lady's whole life is one of grace and through that grace, she is able to dispense it onto those souls that call upon her through this beautiful prayer. As the New Eve, Mary is the spiritual mother of every human being on earth. As such, her role is to intercede...
The Importance of Learning the Faith - SSPX Sermons
The more we know something the more we can love it. This is true not just of objects, but persons as well. And so it is also true of God. The more we know of him, and indeed about the Faith He established, the more we can love Him. God is a God of infinite beauty and goodness. So why should we be content to know so little about Him? Too often we believe our catechetical instruction ends during adolescence, as if we no longer have either an obligation or desire to grow in the Faith. That growth, like our...
By Their Fruits You Shall Know Them: What Jesus Really Means – SSPX Sermons
The Gospel is replete with Our Lord's sayings and these sayings are drawn from the everyday experiences and lives of His listeners. These expressions, albeit simple on the surface, have now become integral to the manner in which we express ourselves even today. One of the most well known is Jesus's statement, "By their fruits you shall know them." It is very important that we deeply understand the wisdom of this and all of Our Lord's expressions lest we apply them superficially. "By their fruits..." reinforces a timeless truth that from the effects of certain persons or actions, we can...
Do Not Be Afraid – SSPX Sermons
The extraordinary consecrations that took place on July 1 are a cause of great joy. Yet the response from Rome, which includes but is not limited to, excommunicating the bishops and priests of the Society of Saint Pius X can be both a source of fear and bitterness. There are faithful who fear they are now outside of what they love, namely Holy Mother Church. And given the unjust and extremely harsh response from Rome, many are tempted to give in to bitterness. These responses are, to an extent, understandable, yet they must be resisted for they destroy the spirit of...
Understanding Charity Can Change Your Life – SSPX Sermons
God does not command what is impossible. What does it mean to love God with our whole mind, heart, and strength? This is not an emotional sentiment. It means preferring something in creation over Him, even when it is objectively sinful. Loving God is exhibited through not wanting to offend God even in the little things. To assist us in this, we must recognize that God loves us.

Fr. Davide Pagliarani's Sermon from the Episcopal Consecrations – SSPX Sermons
The consecration of four new bishops for the Society of Saint Pius X is an expression of faith in the immemorial teachings of the Catholic Church. Despite the controversy surrounding these consecrations, they were performed for both the preservation of the Faith and to ensure that the Society can continue transmitting the Faith through priests formed according to the traditional Roman Rite. As such, these consecrations were performed in service to the Church and for the salvation of souls.

Why We Struggle to Love God – SSPX Sermons
The devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a devotion to Our Lord's immeasurable love. Although the Sacred Heart devotion had been around since the Middle Ages, its prominence came at a crucial point in ecclesiastical history, namely during the spread of Jansenism in France during the 17th century. Contrary to the belief in God's mercy, Jansenism taught that we can never be pleasing to God. As fallen and fallible humans who are often consumed by our own desires, we find it difficult to return love to Our Lord despite His great love for us. However, His love, and...

Our Lord continues to pour out our love so that we may never lose what He has planned for the human race, namely heaven.

God Permits Suffering to Draw a Greater Good – SSPX Sermons
God uses sufferings for our good. It is difficult for us to see this truth, for of course we desire no setbacks in our earthly life. We must remember, however, that the ways of God our not our ways. The ultimate end of our lives is our sanctification. The crosses we bear are integral to this sanctification. Throughout history, mankind has tried to reconcile belief in a loving God with the reality of evil. Instead of looking at this matter in a purely earthly view, we must embrace a supernatural perspective.

The Danger of Human Respect – SSPX Sermons
We are often fearful of the world's judgements. We desire respect and sadly fall prey to seeking it. This leads us seeking what others want for us rather than what God wants. Our desire for the respect of the world becomes a denial of Our Lord. This happens in small ways and large ways, but always to the detriment of our souls. This is why we must never be ashamed to represent that we are Catholic and in so doing, place Our Lord before the world in all things.

The work of the Incarnation, the union of human and divine, is the work par excellence of God. It is a great work of love that comes directly through the spirit of love, namely the Holy Ghost. And so it should come as no surprise that it is the Holy Ghost that continues on with the great work of Christ from the day of Pentecost to our own day.

The Dignity, Power, and Obligations of Baptism – SSPX Sermons
The sacrament of baptism is our initiation into the Catholic Church. It is not just the washing away of original sin; it is also a revelation of the mystery of the Holy Trinity. By our baptism, the life of grace is opened to us. Sadly, today there are many invalid baptisms due to a lack of proper form. It is imperative for every Catholic to know how this essential sacrament should be administered, both for their own salvation but also those who may need to receive it in a state of emergency.
