Thirteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time • Pardon The Interruption

Today we gather together to celebrate the Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary time. The central theme of the Gospel is the bringing back to life of Jairus’ daughter. Of all the miracles of the public life of Jesus is the raising of someone from death. Jairus is an example of a father’s concern for a sick child who has died. He knows of Jesus’ reputation and doesn’t hesitate to approach Jesus for his

FIRST READING -Wisdom 1:13-15, 2:23-24Everything in God’s world was created good. If we still lived in the original state of paradise, life would hold no shocks or defeats. But deceit and death entered the world, leaving us to deal with the uncertainties of the future.SECOND READING- 2 Corinthians 8:7,9,13-15How do we deal with things when life catches us by surprise? The apostle Paul suggested a

The path we travel is narrow and long, beset with many dangers. Each day we must ask that Almighty God will set and keep His protecting hand over us so that we may pass on to those who come after us the heritage of a free people, secure in their God given rights and in full control of a government dedicated to the preservation of those rights. Without God, there could be no American form of

Today’s reading from St. Paul explains the “divine economy” of stewardship - “The relief of others ought not to impoverish you; there should be a certain equality. Your plenty at the present time should supply their need so that their surplus may in turn one day supply your need.”

One of the hardest lessons in prayer is ask enough. We’re afraid to seem greedy or selfish, so we ask for less, and we ask less often, than our heavenly Father wants us to. We forget that the Father expects us to expect great things from him. We remain doubtful, hesitant, not allowing our hopes to build up for fear of disappointment. We ask for a thimble full of water and all he knows how to

If we want to get a good start in learning about Christ, then Mark is the way to do it

FIRST READING -Job 38:1, 8-11God made a wonderful promise to Job. God admitted that troubles will roll over us like the waves of the sea.

Body And Blood Of Christ • A Bridge To Life

Today we gather together to celebrate the Mass of Corpus Christi, the Body and Blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. As I write this article it is June 8, 2009 and I am celebrating my forty first Anniversary of my ordination as a Priest. On June 8, 1968, I lay on the floor of St. Ignatius Church in Chestnut Hill fully aware of my own unworthiness and arose a priest forever according to the

FIRST READING -Exodus 24:3-8In ancient times blood sacrifices were offered to God. These sacrifices are important because they symbolized the self-giving of the community in worship and dedication to God.SECOND READING- Hebrews 9:11-15In the book of Hebrews, we see why the old sacrificial system was set aside. Through the example of Christ, we see that our proper worship of God is to give

The Bishops’ stewardship pastoral asks, “And what do Christians bring to the Eucharistic celebration and join there with Jesus’ offering?” The answer: “Their lives as Christian disciples; their personal vocations and the stewardship they have exercised regarding them; their individual contributions to the great work of restoring all things in Christ.”

The Eucharist is the living memorandum of Jesus’ passion, death and resurrection. But it is not just a “mental” recalling. It is a “sacra-mental” reliving. There’s a big difference. To remember is to look back, to think over a past event, a mental response. But vibrant, spiritual remembrance means bringing an event out of the past and experiencing it anew today. This is the real blessing of the

Trinity Sunday • Speaking Of God

Today we gather together to celebrate Trinity Sunday, which tells us of a major article of our faith; one God, three divine persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is difficult for us to prove the existence of the Trinity. Yet we have some different examples to help us. First, we can look at the roles played by the three. The Father then can be seen as the Creator, the Son, redeemer and the Holy

FIRST READING -Deuteronomy 4:32-34,39-40Moses challenged the Israelites to have a strong and powerful faith because they had a great God. No other gods have done what God has done. God has called out God’s people by mighty acts of deliverance. God has transformed God’s people by mighty acts of redemption.SECOND READING- Romans 8:14-17Paul clarified what it means to be a child of God. God is more

A man with a nagging secret couldn’t keep it any longer. In the confessional he admitted that for years he had been stealing building supplies from the lumberyard where he worked. “What did you take?” his priest asked. “Enough to build my own house and enough for my son’s house. And houses for our two daughters and our cottage at the lake.” “This is very serious,” the priest said. “I
