In the homily for Ash Wednesday (Mar 06, 2019) Fr. Maximilian explains how the ashes we receive today remind us of the death that we must one day pass through. The Lenten season is one of repentance, achieved through prayer, fasting, and sacrifice. In turning away from sin and to the light and love of God, we accomplish the necessary preparation for a good death and the passage to eternal life.

Ave Maria!

The post Ashes Recall Death, Need to Prepare for it – Mar 06 – Homily – Fr Maximilian W first appeared on AirMaria.com.

On the Solemnity of Pentecost (Jun 09, 2019), Fr. Andre explains what we need to do if we want the Holy Spirit to work more powerfully in our life.

Two things in particular: we need to recognize the intimate union between the Holy Spirit in our soul and the maternal and missionary action of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, and thus intensify our relationship with the Holy Spirit through Mary; secondly, we need to rid our soul of that which repels the Holy Spirit—sin—by repenting and making a good, sacramental confession.

Ave Maria!
