Christ chose a tough but inconstant fisherman as the first Pope and a highly educated Roman citizen to be the greatest missionary bishop in the Church's history. They were chosen not for their natural talents but for their correspondence to grace, willingness to work and readiness to shed their blood for Christ. Sermon by Fr. John Brucciani on the Feast of St. Peter and Paul 2025.

Opposites: Sermon on the Feast of SS. Peter and Paul

Walking in the light does not mean being perfect. It means we have the freedom to honor our many dimensions - the good, the bad, and even our ugly!

Episode 275 - Honesty and Freedom

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our understanding of grace and its role in our spiritual lives. The central theme revolves around the apostle Paul's experiences, particularly in 2 Corinthians 12, where he speaks of his 'thorn in the flesh.' This scripture highlights a crucial spiritual lesson: God's grace is sufficient in our weaknesses. We're reminded that our struggles and inadequacies can be the very conduits through which God's power is perfected. The message draws interesting parallels between Paul's experiences and our own, encouraging us to embrace our vulnerabilities rather than always seeking their removal. This perspective shift invites us to see our challenges as opportunities for God's grace to shine, fostering a deeper reliance on His strength rather than our own. As we journey in faith, we're called to recognize that our weaknesses, when surrendered to God, can become our greatest strengths. This insight is profoundly relevant to our daily lives, urging us to approach our struggles with a new mindset - one that sees them as potential gateways to experiencing God's power more fully.

Grace, Weakness and God's Power

In our journey of faith, we often encounter moments of weakness that challenge our spiritual resolve. This message delves deep into the transformative power of God's grace, drawing inspiration from the Apostle Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 12. We're reminded that our weaknesses are not obstacles, but opportunities for God's strength to shine through us. The story of Gideon in Judges 6 beautifully illustrates how God chooses the unlikely and empowers the weak to accomplish great things. This teaching encourages us to embrace our vulnerabilities, viewing them as invitations for divine intervention rather than limitations. As we navigate life's challenges, we're called to shift our focus from self-sufficiency to God-dependency, allowing His grace to become our source of strength. This perspective not only transforms our personal struggles but also equips us to be powerful witnesses of God's love and mercy in a world desperately in need of hope.

-LYRICS-

I’m not saying I’m perfect
Then again no one is
I know I need to fix my mistakes
Oh but no, not like this

Those who say they know everything
That’s just wishful thinking
I realized what I did
Then I felt my heart sinking

I’ve always told everyone “I’m only human”
But that was me back in my prime
Things got worse, then it stopped bloomin’
Now I wish I could go back in time
But right now, I’m so confused
I’m tired of this self-abuse

Those who say they know everything
That’s just wishful thinking
I realized what I did
Then I felt my heart sinking

Just ACCEPT IT FOR WHAT IT IS
Little bit like this, little bit like that
Just ACCEPT IT FOR WHAT IT IS
Don’t let your life get all flat…
That’s the key

There’s no need for an apology
Because the damage is already done
Now I need to rebuild this chemistry
And baby, you no longer need to run
So please let me explain, give me another chance
Take this moment to an advance

Those who say they know everything
That’s just wishful thinking
I realized what I did
Then I felt my heart sinking

Just ACCEPT IT FOR WHAT IT IS
Little bit like this, little bit like that
Just ACCEPT IT FOR WHAT IT IS
Don’t let your life get all flat…
That’s the key

I used to play with fire
One time, my life was on the wire
I will no longer be a liar
Changing myself is my desire

-SOLO-

I know I messed up on everything
But that’s just me thinking
I made up for all I did
My heart is no longer shrinking, no

Just ACCEPT IT FOR WHAT IT IS
Little bit like this, little bit like that
Just ACCEPT IT FOR WHAT IT IS
Don’t let your life get all flat

Just ACCEPT IT FOR WHAT IT IS
Don’t ever show your weakness
Just ACCEPT IT FOR WHAT IT IS
Time to start showing some kindness…
Oh, that’s the key

I will no longer live like this
But I can ACCEPT IT FOR WHAT IT IS

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Accept It For What It Is

Can Kidney Disease Cause Anemia

What if everything you've been taught about strength is actually working against you? We live in a culture obsessed with projecting power and having it all together—but what happens when anxiety grips your chest at 2 AM and you can't make it stop? This episode explores the counterintuitive idea that true power isn't found in pretending to be strong, but in honestly confessing where you're weak. Through a raw personal account of battling fear during a wilderness trip—heart pounding, thoughts spiraling—you'll discover why the very thing you're trying to hide might be the doorway to the freedom you've been looking for. Are you tired of fighting alone?

Weakness Becomes Strength (Wade)

The Society of St. Pius X is an international priestly society of common life without vows, whose purpose is the priesthood and that which pertains to it.
 
The main goal of the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls.
