The Angel was sent to a virgin espoused to a man whose was Joseph of the house of David and the Virgin's name was Mary, by this Blessed unique espousal to Mary, also the relationship of St. Joseph with Jesus is built, Joseph comes into a personal contact with Jesus through Mary.

Father Serafino spoke on mystery of St. Joseph from Marian perspective.

Father Serafino talks on this first Saturday on the New Year 2020 to keep Our Lady Company reflecting on the sign of the Perpetual Virginity of Mary.

On the Second Sunday of Advent (OF), Fr. Serafino speaks about the call to repentance, as we prepare for the coming of our Lord. Repentance, going beyond merely new works, requires us to change our way of thinking, in order that our works may correspond to our mode of understanding. Let us be open to the truth, seeking to see things as they are, and not according to our inclinations. Thus, we shall come to know God, He, who is the Person behind the truth we seek. Convert yourselves, and think anew, living out the truth we seek, for our Lord seeks to come into your heart this Christmas.

O Lord, grant me the grace to seek the truth, and to see it as Thou seest it, that I may henceforth live according to the truth that my heart desires. Do Thou grant me this desire, that thus preparing for Thy coming, Thy birth may be renewed in my heart, for all our hope resides in Thee, who livest and reignest with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen. 

On the First Saturday of December, on the vigil of the Immaculate Conception, Fr. Serafino speaks about the fittingness of Our Lady's Immaculate Conception, She who is conceived without original sin. Our Lady, resplendent with the fullness of grace, is the only one who has been truly free - free from the stain of sin, free from the impediment to love God entirely with Her whole heart.

Let us aim at this perfection, in which we may love God, the true Good, orientating ourselves entirely to Him, returning love for Love, glorying Him as true children of our Heavenly Father.

Blessed be the holy and Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, and our Mother!

On the 24th and final Sunday after Pentecost, Father Serafino speaks about the final coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, which shall be prepared by a sign - the abomination of desolation - which shall be placed in the Temple, stirring up great persecutions against the followers of Christ, even enticing some of the elect to renounce the Gospel. What shall we do when this sign appears, when even the sacrifice in the Temple shall fail? How to act when this pagan abomination will counteract the only salvivic sacrifice of Christ, paving the way for the great persecution? Let us remain faithful to the teachings handed down by our forefathers, rejecting the false doctrines of pseudo-Christs. Adhering to the perennial teachings of the Church, we shall anchor ourselves upon the traditions of the faith, giving us the means to survive persecution, and to follow the voice of the Good Shepherd.

On the 29th Sunday in Ordinary TIme, Fr. Serafino speaks about the necessity of praying continuously. Are we discouraged from praying because we encounter distractions and temptations? If so, let us still persist in praying without ceasing, as Our Lord teaches us. If we pray continuously, we will persevere in the grace of prayer thus saving ourselves. Simply put, if you pray, you will save yourself. If you neglect to pray, you will damn yourself. Let us strive to pray much, to pray continuously at every moment, first by fulfilling our daily duties faithfully, and also by praying the Holy Rosary, for our own salvation, and the salvation of the whole world.

Fr. Serafino speaks about the healing of the ten lepers and the subsequent gratitude of the Samaritan. How can we imitate the conduct of this Samaritan, who is the only one who returns to give thanks? Let us, in turn, thank our Lord for the grace of salvation. We can give thanks at the Holy Mass, uniting ourselves to Jesus the High Priest, who offers Himself to the Father, not only in an act of thanksgiving, but in order to cure us of our spiritual leprosy. By the grace of God, let us approach our Lord and adore Him in faith. By uniting ourselves to Him in faith, we shall indeed be saved, as was the Samaritan.

Father Serafino speaks about the impossibility of serving two masters. We must serve God alone, and not mammon.

Father Serafino speaks about the priority of love, in which we love God as our only necessary principle. Against the self-centredness prominent in our day, Father calls for a discipleship which places God at the very centre of our lives, picking up our cross daily and following Him.

On the 4th Sunday of Lent (OT), Fr. Serafino reflects on the parable of the Prodigal Son. We have much reason to rejoice, for we see the story of our lives in the account of the prodigal son, this son who returns to his father and encounters his boundless love. Let us realize that away from God, we lose everything, especially our dignity as children of God. Outside of God, we think to be happy, but soon realize we are condemned to starvation outside the merciful love of the Father. Let us listen to our consciences and return to God, to be reinstated into His house as dear children. Let us treasure this Gospel and go to confession frequently, that we may rejoice in encountering the merciful embrace of the Father, who makes us anew in His grace and mercy.

On Ash Wednesday, Fr. Serafino speaks about the need to look within ourselves during the season of Lent. Are we not easily inclined to judge the faults of others? Let us have the same zeal in judging ourselves, to see ourselves as we really are. If we wish to remove the blindness from our hearts, let us turn to the presence of Christ Crucified, the mirror in which we may see our sins. Thus judging ourselves properly, we shall more easily convert ourselves to the Lord and daily grow in the perfection of Christ.

On the first Saturday of March, Fr. Serafino speaks about the great figure of St. Joseph as the perfect model of Marian consecration.

On Our Lady's Saturday, Fr. Serafino reflects on the perpetual virginity of Mary, an important dogma of our faith.

Fr. Serafino speaks about our obligation to be missionaries of Christ, preaching the Gospel to all people of good will. Father stresses this important mission, however, under the direction and in union with the figure of Simon, the Pope. Let us place ourselves under Christ and the hierarchy upon which He has founded His Church, uniting ourselves to Peter in his mission of catching souls. Let us preach the same perennial truths the Church has always taught, that the Truth may set all men free.

On the 4th Sunday after the Epiphany, Fr. Serafino reflects on the beautiful teaching of charity, the fulfilment of the law. Rather than a mere sentiment, Christian charity is a virtue, the expression of what we believe. As charity is founded on the truth, let us exercise our faith in our Lord's perpetual presence in the Church. Amidst the storms and tempests raging around us, let us have confidence that our Lord dwells in the boat of the Church, steering the bark that belongs to Him. With that consolation, we have confidence that He will assuredly calm the storms of our time.

Important symbolism in the fact that the Magi, after having met Jesus, returned along another path: a sign of the necessary change of life that took place with the meeting of the Saviour. Without using contempt for natural religions, however, we must be aware that, once we know the truth that God Himself came to reveal to us, we must abandon what we had given ourselves, to follow Him alone.

Today, the day in which the circumcision of Jesus is commemorated, is the solemnity of the Mother of God. And it is good to begin the year by praising the Blessed Virgin Mary and placing oneself under her protection.

We cannot see God, but with the birth of Jesus, God becomes visible to us.
God cannot increase His greatness, because He is all and there is no greater thing. He can only lower Himself. And thus one understands how he did not need a human royal dignity; thus one understands how only the humbles (the shepherds) could recognize its coming: because they were the only ones who could understand the language of humility.

The greeting of Mary who sanctifies Elizabeth and John the Baptist shows us how the Holy Spirit is given to us through the Immaculate. And the words of Saint Elizabeth are a profession of the Divine Maternity of Mary.
Protestants reduce the Blessed Virgin to nothing because they do not read the Gospel with the eyes of Tradition, with the eyes with which the Church has always read it. Instead, we must turn to Mary and be devoted to Her, that is, we must know and love Her. She will prepare us to live this Christmas in the best and most fruitful way.

Father Serafino tella us about "Gaudete" Sunday which means in Latin - "Rejoice". Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice. Why is there a reason to rejoice, because the Lord is with us as Emmanuel and we are with the Lord.

The Facts in the Gospels are historical and not made up as stories. The Bible contains historical information as well as being the Message of Salvation. This History then points to the reality of Jesus Christ who came in time and space 2000 years ago to live, die and to be resurrected for Mankind. 

What a wonderful Solemnity today. Mary was Conceived Immaculate by a special foreseen grace from Jesus Christ on the Cross. Jesus Christ was predestined with his Mother, first in intention in the mind of God. Let us live a life on Gratitude for this special grace given to the Immaculate.

Father Serafino explores the beautiful relationship between the two Conceptions, one Uncreated and the other Created. In other words the bond between The Holy Spirit and Mary. We need to practice the Fatima devotions in order to enter into a more interior life with Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit..
