New Home for Father Ryan's Sermons!

Friends, I am in the process of switching to a new means of posting sermons online - I have switched off Sound Cloud for a number of reasons, and the sermons are no longer up there. However, they are all still at archive.org (search "Father Ryan Erlenbush" and click on "Date Archived" for the latest) and can be accessed via the parish website and my New Theological Movement blog by clicking on the "click [here]" link in each sermon post.

I will be trying to update the older posts to provide a playable embedded link from archive.org. It is my hope that I can set up my own website to host sermons and from which I will be able to establish a podcast to allow downloading of sermons onto smart phones more easily!

You can find all the sermons archived here: https://archive.org/details/@father_ryan

Happy Feast of St Thomas! A sermon from last year -- The Angelic Thomas, Common Doctor of the Church

Sunday Sermon, January 14 -- On Purity and Pleasure, and Pornography

Rules without a relationship leads to rebellion and resentment. Rather than preaching about impurity and un-chastity, we will focus rather on purity and the goodness of pleasure. We also comment on the grave danger which pornography poses in the modern day.

Sunday Sermon, December 31 -- Mary's Virginity After Birth and Forever (Sermons on the Perpetual Virginity of Mary, Part 3 of 3)

After giving birth to Jesus, Mary remains a virgin forever.  The "brothers and sisters" of Jesus are really his cousins, born to Cleophas and another Mary. Other passages which speak of "before" and "until" Mary and Joseph came together as husband and wife do not truly indicate that their marriage was a normal marriage, but actually teach us that the marriage was virginal.

Christmas Sermon, 2017 -- Mary's Virginity During Birth (Sermons on the Virginity of Mary, Part 2 of 3)

The Birth of Jesus was miraculous, as light passing through glass. Mary's body suffered no pain, rupture, or violence - she endured no labor as she gave birth to Jesus in a most pure and wonderful way.

Sunday Sermon, December 24 -- The Virginity of Mary Before Birth (Sermons on the Perpetual Virginity of Mary, Part 1 of 3)

"How can this be, since I do not know man?" This question of our Lady proves that she was truly a virgin before the conception of Christ - namely, she had made a vow of virginity, giving not only her soul, but even her body entirely to God.
