Preparing for Confession in 4th Week of Advent

Father Yvon’s remarks on the 4th Sunday of Advent include an examination of conscience, an aid to preparing for Confession, as we journey toward Christmas.

Season of Waiting

Father Yvon continues his reflection on Advent, the season of waiting, the season of of welcoming Jesus, who is longing to come in to our hearts.

The Immaculate Conception

Today, we celebrate the feast of Our Lady’s Immaculate Conception. And I want to put the emphasis right here on Jesus himself to explain the Immaculate Conception. Because Jesus was the cause of the Immaculate Conception, the reason for the Immaculate Conception, and the fruit of the Immaculate Conception.

The Humility of the Centurion

Pray for the grace of humility. Place your hand in God's. Let him lead - and trust him

Climb the Lord’s Mountain

I can imagine the path on the Lord's mountain to the house of Jacob is a beautiful path that leads us closer and closer to the heart of God. Join us this Advent.

Come to Advent

Advent is the season of the seed. Not of the harvest. Not of the planting. Not of the growth. But of the seed. The season ... of the seed. Come to Advent.

All Souls Day

Monsignor Lavalley inquires, "How do we look at Purgatory, and what do we really know about it?" "I believe in the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sin, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting."

The Joyful Mysteries

Father Yvon concludes his series on the Rosary with a meditation on the Joyful Mysteries. He begins with Mary saying, yes, to her calling to become the mother of God.

The Sycamore Tree

No one sees Jesus alone. We all have "branches" - people, places, books, things - that help us see Jesus. Monsignor Lavalley shares some of the branches in his life.

The Sorrowful Mysteries

This week, Father Yvon offers reflections on the Sorrowful Mysteries. This is the third of four homilies he will give on the Rosary.
