  • Natural and Supernatural Motherhood, Sermon by Fr. Paul Robinson, SSPX

    Natural and Supernatural Motherhood, Sermon by Fr. Paul Robinson, SSPX
    May 6 2024
    • God is at the origin of two orders in creation, the natural and the supernatural.
    • The natural order concerns God’s material reality and the things of this earth. The supernatural order concerns God’s spiritual reality, the things of Heaven.
    • These two realms are very distant from one another. When we speak of two things being very far from one another, we say it is like the distance between heaven and earth.
    • At the same time, they are connected. God does not separate them into two completely separate realms but He makes there to be an interaction between them. We ourselves are natural creatures but God has elevated us to the supernatural level.
    • Many of the realities that we experience in our everyday natural level also exist on the supernatural level, only they are more elevated and sublime.
    • I want to take one example of this today: that of motherhood. Let us look at the motherhood that God has created in our natural world and then look at supernatural motherhood.

  • Home Depot Catholicism, Sermon by Fr. Paul Robinson, SSPX

    Home Depot Catholicism, Sermon by Fr. Paul Robinson, SSPX
    Apr 29 2024
    • In 1978, four businessmen pooled their resources to found the home improvement chain Home Depot. The point of the store was to provide a place where homeowners could go to buy tools and parts to renovate or repair their house. One of the slogans over the years was, “You can do it. We can help.”
    • Home Depot represents something of the American spirit. We have a go-getter, do it yourself attitude. Why hire someone when you can just figure things out, buy the parts and do it on your own. Doesn’t that save a lot of trouble?
    • What I want to point out in this sermon is that such a spirit is not proper in the realm of religion; it must not be translated to the religious sphere such that we become Home Depot Catholics, such that we pursue a do it yourself salvation.
    • What do I mean by a Home Depot Catholicism or a Do It Yourself Catholicism?
    • Home Depot Catholics come to church merely to acquire the material parts they need to keep their souls going and so attain salvation. Get Mass. Get confession. Get Communion. Throw some money in the collection basket. Go home. Save my soul.
    • This is not the way that Our Lord established His religion, His Mystical Body. He established it in such a way that the members of the Catholic faith are not only united with Him, but they are also united with one another through Him. They all live the same life; they form one body together. And they are meant to live that reality by associating themselves with one another.

  • The Meaning of 'Day' in Our Lord's Parable, Sermon by Fr. Paul Robinson, SSPX

    The Meaning of 'Day' in Our Lord's Parable, Sermon by Fr. Paul Robinson, SSPX
    Apr 25 2024
    • I would like to focus on the parable of today’s Mass and explain what it means in relation to our salvation. The parable tells the story of a day of hiring.
    • “Day” in this parable, as far as the story goes, refers only to a 12 hour period, or that part of the day that is in daylight. But the Fathers have understood this 12 hour period to be a symbol of two different longer periods of time, namely, the time before Christ, and the duration of our life.
    • If we take the “day” of the parable as the time before Christ, following Origen, we can understand the various calls at the different hours as missions given to the great figures of the Old Testament by God to accomplish His work. They are to work in His vineyard, which represents the field of labor in which a person is living for Heaven and is trying to get as many people as possible to follow him on that path to Heaven.
    • The second sense of the “day” is the span of the lifetime of each individual. Each person is called to work for the kingdom of Heaven, that is, for his own salvation.
    • Some are fortunate enough to be called in the morning of their life, by being born into a Catholic family. Others convert as teenagers, others as young adults, others as mature men, others as old men. For each of these is reserved the denarius of salvation or eternal life.
    • But there is a condition. Each one must remain working in the vineyard, once they are called. It is only when evening comes that the payment is given. Those who are not present at the evening, or the end of their life, will not receive payment from the householder. We must remain in the state of grace if we are to receive the reward of Heaven.
