Jan. 27th - Angela Merici

 

 Today we celebrate the optional memorial of St. Angela of Merici, who was born in 1470 in Northern Italy. Even as a little child, she was honored as a little saint, because she loved purity and modesty, so much.

When she was 13 years old, Angela entered the third Order of St. Francis and soon afterwards, she took the vow of perpetual chastity, renounced all her possessions, and wanted to live only on alms. She practiced many austere penances, slept on the bare earth, and fasted almost continuously on bread and water. Sometimes Holy Communion was her only food over a period of several days.

One day while she was praying in a secluded place, she had a vision of a friend, who died not long ago. Her friend prophesied that Angela would be a foundress of a religious institute, which would be devoted to the education of the youth, which would do much good for the kingdom of God. The vision gave her a great incentive to lead a life of contemplation, but also to serve others.

She gathered a group of young women, who began to give children religious instruction to little children, to help the poor, and care for the sick. Often times great sinners, were among those she instructed. She encouraged them to be reconciled with God, and begin a new life.

Her virtuous conduct and knowledge of theology, caused many, to regard her as a saint. In 1516, to escape the honor given her, she went to another town, and to live absorbed in prayer. In 1524, she had an ardent desire to go to the Holy Land, just as St. Francis once did. She visited Jerusalem, Calvary, and the other Holy Places with great devotion and returned by way of Rome, in order to pray at the tombs of the apostles.

In 1535, her group of women became a religious congregation known as the Ursualines, named after St. Ursula. They began to spread rapidly, especially in America.

When she reached the age of 70, God revealed to her, the day and hour of her death. She received the last sacraments, and with great fervor was rapt in ecstasy. While pronouncing the Holy Name of Jesus, she died, the very hour, it had been foretold to her. She was laid out in the third order of St. Francis habit, holding a pilgrim’s staff, which she carried in the Holy Land. She was later beatified and canonized.

Angela’s life was a life in which everyone could see the light of Christ shine through her.

May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Light, help us to live a life of virtue in imitation of Saint Angela Merici to draw all men to Jesus Christ, the Light of the world.

Jan. 26th - Timothy & Titus

 

St. Paul Consecrates St. Timothy a Bishop by Laying on of Hands

Today the Church celebrates the memorial of Sts. Timothy and Titus, who were friends of St. Paul. They went wi th St. Paul, as he went about to many cities speaking about Jesus and starting new churches. Both Timothy and Titus became bishops of the early Church.

St. Timothy’s father was not a Christian. His mother was Jewish. However, his mother, and grandmother of Timothy, eventually became Christians. Timothy studied scriptures from his early youth. He would accompany St. Paul, on his journeys.

Eventually put in prison and never wavering in his faith in Jesus, he was later set free. St. Paul consecrated Timothy, as bishop of Ephesus. As bishop, Timothy stayed in Ephesus to govern the church, oppose false teachers, and to ordain priests, deacons, and bishops. St. Paul wrote a letter to him, while Paul was a prisoner in Rome, and requested he come to see him, before he died.

Timothy practiced penance to such a degree, that he drank only water, rather than drinking wine, and so, Paul told him to drink a little wine. St. Paul wrote two letters to Timothy, which are now New Testament books. He was eventually stoned and clubbed to death, by a mob, because he opposed the pagan festival, in which the people would carry an idol in one hand, and a club in the other.

The other disciple, whom we celebrate, is St. Titus, who was likewise a friend, and disciple of St. Paul, as well. Paul ordained him Bishop of Crete, which is an island nation near Italy. The letter he wrote a letter to Titus, is now also a book in the New Testament.

Titus was a secretary of St. Paul, who sent him to the cities of Ephesus and Corinth in order to settle problems among the early Christians, and to solve problems of scandal. He was later sent to Corinth once again by St. Paul, to collect money for the poor Christians in Jerusalem. He lived to be an old man, and died a peaceful death in Crete.

Today, let us pray to Timothy and Titus, that God will inspire us, to imitate their faith and their holy example of discipleship, in imitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the first disciple of Christ.

Jan 25th - Conversion of St. Paul

  

Today is the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul. As a great persecutor of Christians, he was responsible for the stoning of St. Stephen. On the road to Damascus, a great light suddenly shone around him. Blinded by the light, he fell to the ground, and a heard a voice saying, “Saul, Saul, Why do you persecute me?” Saul, eventually regained his eyesight, and became baptized. He changed his name to Paul, as a sign of his conversion to Christ. St. Paul went about the whole known world to spread the Good News. He became the apostle to the Gentiles.

We are likewise called to conversion. At times, we too are blinded. We sometimes can persecute those around us, by way of our idiosyncrasies, by our sins, and by our faults. We can be blinded by our sinfulness, and how we are burdens to others.

Here are some more examples of ways in which we can be blinded by our own behavior. We may be arrogant and look down upon others, because of our pride. Or we try to control everyone around us, because of our selfishness and insecurity. We can make uncharitable comments towards others because of our impatience. We can be passively aggressive towards others, and make subtle comments, because we fear confrontation. We can complain all the time, because of our lack of gratitude for what we have. We can be envious of the material things of others because we fail to see everything we have is a gift from God. We can desire attention from others, because we feel unloved. There are those who tell everyone what they think, and say things in a cold and uncaring manner and will say to themselves, “At least everyone knows where I stand.” Or we can be a workaholic, because think the whole world revolves around us and because we are afraid to enjoy life.

All of us, at one time, or another, need to be knocked off, the horse, of our pride, and gaze into the light of Christ. Our eyes need to be opened to our sinfulness, our faults, and hidden impure motivations.

Today, as prepare to receive Jesus in Holy Communion, let us beseech the Lord and His Holy Mother and ask them to help us, to know ourselves.

When we receive Jesus in the Eucharist--- in the silence of our heart, we will hear the voice of the Lord, telling us how we need to change our life.

And we can respond as St. Paul, by having a true conversion of heart, in which we come to know the greatness of God’s love for us, and therefore respond by changing our lives to reflect our understanding, that the way we treat others, is the way, we treat Jesus.

Jan. 24th - St. Francis de Sales

 

Today, we celebrate the memorial of Francis de Sales, bishop and doctor of the Church, who was born in 1567. One of his greatest virtues was patience.

For example, one day Francis had a bad idea -- at least that's what everyone else thought. This was during the time of the Protestant reformation and just over the mountains from where Francis lived in Switzerland it was Calvinist territory. Francis decided he would lead an expedition to convert the 60,000 Calvinists back to Catholicism. For three years, he trudged through the countryside, had doors slammed in his face and rocks thrown at him. In the bitter winters, his feet froze so badly they bled as he tramped through the snow. He slept in haylofts if he could, and once he slept in a tree to avoid wolves. He tied himself to a branch to keep from falling out and was so frozen the next morning he had to be cut down. And after three years, his cousin had left him alone because he didn’t make a single convert. Francis' unusual patience kept him working. No one would listen to him, no one would even open their door to him. So Francis found a way to get under the door. He wrote out his sermons, copied them by hand, and slipped them under the doors. This is the first record we have of religious tracts being used to communicate with people. Adults wouldn't come to him out of fear. So Francis went to the children. When the parents saw how kind he was as he played with the children, they began to talk to him. By the time, Francis left to go home he had converted 40,000 people back to Catholicism. In 1602 he was made bishop of the diocese of Geneva, in Calvinist territory.

It was in 1604, Francis saw a widow listening closely to his sermon – who was a woman he had seen already in a dream. Jane de Chantal wanted him to take over her spiritual direction, but, not surprisingly, Francis wanted to wait. "I had to know fully what God himself wanted. I had to be sure that everything in this should be done as though his hand had done it."

Three years after working with Jane, he finally made up his mind to form a new religious order. But where would they get a convent for their contemplative Visitation nuns? A man came to Francis without knowing of his plans and told him he was thinking of donating a place for use by pious women. In his typical way of not pushing God, Francis said nothing. When the man brought it up again, Francis still kept quiet, telling Jane, "God will be with us if he approves." Finally the man offered Francis the convent.

Francis believed the first duty of a bishop was spiritual direction. At that time, the way of holiness was only for monks and nuns -- not for ordinary people. Francis changed all that by giving spiritual direction to lay people living ordinary lives in the world. But he had proven with his own life that people could grow in holiness while involved in a very active occupation.

His most famous book, INTRODUCTION TO THE DEVOUT LIFE, was written for these ordinary people in 1608. Written originally as letters, it became an instant success all over Europe -- however some preachers tore it up because he tolerated dancing and jokes!

He died on December 28, 1622, after giving a nun his last word of advice: "Humility." He is patron saint of journalists because of the tracts and books he wrote. Today, if we struggle with patience, let us ask St. Francis to help us to be more patient and let us ask him for the gift of zeal to evangelize.

3rd Sunday - Respect Life

 Abortion - A Person is a Person No Matter How Small

 

The first reading and Gospel for today remind us of the role of the priest in interpreting scripture and how the priest is anointed to speak on behalf of God to the people today. And today, I will speak to you on behalf of God about respecting life.

The first reading is from the book of Nehemiah. The Jews were taken into captivity in 721 BC and their temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. 230 years later their captivity is over and are returning to Israel. Once they reach their Jewish soil, the priest Ezra explains to the people the content of the Law and interprets what was read.

During the time of Jesus, it was customary for Jews to read scriptures at the synagogue and the reader gave his interpretation. And this is what Jesus did in today’s Gospel. He first read, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord.” Then He said, “Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing. Every Jew knew this particular passage referred to the future messiah. And so they understood Jesus was declaring Himself the Messiah.

Every Catholic priest is anointed when ordained. Just like Ezra and Jesus, the priest reads scripture and then comments on it, which is a homily. Every priest receives three gifts: to teach, to sanctify and to govern. When a priest gives a homily or when He teaches, He is anointed to speak on behalf of God to the people. Today, I am going to speak to you on behalf of God with regard to respecting life.

Yesterday was the 49^th anniversary of Roe vs Wade that legalized abortion. Soon the US Supreme Court will decide if Mississippi's law is constitutional limiting abortion to 15 weeks from conception and many hope and pray for the overturning of Roe vs. Wade. Also this year, Kansans will vote on the Value them Both bill. Since Roe vs Wade, over 62 million children have died from abortion and all their mothers and fathers have been wounded and deeply hurt by abortion.

To show how abortion affects the world, here is an example. Cardinal Raymond Burke told a reporter, the doctor pressured his mother to abort him. The doctor told his mother, the doctor told his mother, who was very sick while pregnant with the future Cardinal Burke, “You already have five children,” “it is important for you to be in good health so as to take care of them.” Fortunately, his parents refused. “My parents told him that they believed in God,” Cardinal Burke relates, “and that Christ would give them the necessary help. My mother gave birth to me, and everything went well.”

A few years ago, I offered a private Mass on my day off to close the abortion clinic in Wichita. During Mass, I prayed for those thinking about having an abortion, will change their mind, those who had an abortion will find healing and God’s merciful forgiveness and those who work in the abortion clinic, will quit and become pro-life. About an hour later, I went to the abortion clinic, and several of us prayed the Rosary, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and the Litany of the Saints at the gates of the clinic. Then a woman came out of the clinic and walked up to us and said, “I just couldn’t do it. The doctor told me I am pregnant with twins. I could do one of them, but couldn’t afford to pay for two of them, so I’m going to keep my babies.” About 20 min. later a young woman in her 20’s and her 5 yr. old daughter as well as a woman in her 50’s left the clinic and the woman in her 20’s said, “I’m not going to have an abortion, I’m pregnant with twins.” My friends with 30 min, four babies were saved. The prayers offered outside the clinic and the Holy Mass offered that morning, resulted in saving the lives of four children and also saved their mothers and their families from a future life of pain and regret. We can see the power of prayer, especially the Holy Mass, the Rosary, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, the Litany of the Saints. God wants us to use these to help the confused. There should never be a choice to take the life of an innocent person. Everyone has the ability to say yes and the ability to give a child up for adoption to a couple who can’t have children.

Its dangerous when a human being is not considered a person. When an unborn baby is not considered a person, than the baby has no rights and is considered the property of the parents and so they can do with them as they want, even to kill them. Where does this mentality come from? In the United States blacks were slaves and were the property of slave owners. They were not considered human and so the owner of the slave had the right to abuse and even kill the slave which was legal. But it took a civil war before they were considered citizens with rights.

Also in the US, women did not have rights. They were considered the property of their father or their husband and could not even vote until 1920. But the truth is women are not the property of men. Blacks are not the property of any person. An unborn child is not the property of their parents. St. Paul said, “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been purchased at a price.” (1 Corn. 6:19) Our body came from God, we are not our own, we were purchased at the price of the blood of Jesus. All of us are created in the image of likeness of God. All life is sacred and we are holy because God dwells within us.

Let me ask you some questions. Do you think it should be against the law to kill a baby after birth? President Biden and Kamala Harris as well as the former governor Virginia thought so. Should it be against the law to abort a baby just before birth? Should it be against the law to abort a viable baby after 24 weeks? What about a baby who is 15 weeks? What about a baby, who feels pain? What if an unborn baby has a beating heart? Should it be against the law to abort a baby just after conception? A person is a person no matter how small.

Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the Virgin Mary and scripture tells us immediately after His incarnation, Mary went in haste to visit Her cousin Elizabeth, who was with child. Did you know it was a 5 day journey for Mary to travel from Nazareth to Ain Karem, where Elizabeth lived. And when Mary greeted Elizabeth, the unborn John the Baptist leapt with joy and Elizabeth recognized Mary was with child as she said, “Who am I that the Mother of my Lord should come to me?” Just think Jesus was only 5 days from conception in the womb of Mary. He did not yet have a beating heart, nor hands, nor eyes, yet His divine presence caused an unborn John the Baptist to recognize Our Lord was present as well as his mother, Elizabeth, who was filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus is a divine person with a human and divine nature. A person is a person, no matter how small.

It is a scientific fact, a new person is created at the moment of conception, because the child has its own DNA. As Catholics we believe God infuses an immortal soul into a child at the moment of conception. We believe we are created in the image and likeness of God. The prophet Jeremiah states, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” Before we were even created, God knew us and has a plan for each of us.

Dr. Bernard Nathason, a former Jewish abortionist oversaw 75,000 abortions and performed 5000 himself. Be he changed his mind when he saw the silent scream of an unborn child on an ultrasound when he we doing an abortion. But when He was baptized, God forgave all his sins and the punishment due to his sins and God came to dwell in his heart. So if he would have died immediately after his baptism, he would have went straight to heaven. The greater the sinner, the greater one’s right to God’s mercy.

Abby Johnson, a former director of Planned Parenthood, had two abortions and then assisted in an abortion, but realized the wrong she was doing and when she became Catholic, Jesus forgave all her sins and washed them away in the ocean of God’s mercy.

Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. But Jesus appeared to her first, before He appeared to the Apostles because she repented when washed the feet of Jesus with her tears. Jesus told Simon the Pharisee about Mary Magdalane, “Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much...” (Luke 7:47-48)

My friends, we are all human, we all make mistakes, and can make wrong decisions based upon misinformation of what others tell us or what they failed to tell us or maybe we ourselves chose not to seek the truth. But we must trust in God’s mercy.

The Church as a mother wants to help her children. She gives us priests to teach us about respecting life. The Church gives us the sacraments for grace and healing when we hurt our self and others. Jesus acts through priests, through the sacraments and through the people of God to help all of our brothers and sisters in Christ deeply hurt.

The boyfriend who helped his girlfriend to have an abortion, the parents of the pregnant girl, who forced the child to have an abortion, grandparents, who participated, friends who wrongly scheduled the abortion-- nurses or doctors who encouraged the abortion, everyone--everyone--everyone can be forgiven! There is no sin Jesus will not forgive. If you have been affected by abortion, know Jesus loves you and forgives you. Jesus understands when a young girl is pressured or told a lie, its not a baby, but only tissue. Sometimes the devil tries to make us doubt in God’s mercy. He will say, “God will never forgive you. Your sin is too great.” Or after you confessed the sin, the devil will make us doubt God forgave us, and a result, we will keep confessing the sin over and over. But we can’t give in to lies, rather we trust in God’s mercy. We pray, “Jesus I trust in You”, and Jesus forgets the sin after we have confessed it and so should we.

There is a diocesan organization called Project Rachel which gives retreats, some of its leaders have had an abortion, and they want to help others to find healing, like they received and want to bring peace of heart and healing of the spirit and soul to all those hurt by abortion.

Jesus gives us hope. Jesus gives us love. Jesus gives us forgiveness. Jesus gives us mercy. Jesus gives us healing. Jesus gives us a future of peace and joy.

Jesus told St. Faustina, “My daughter, write that the greater the misery of a soul, the greater its right to My mercy; [urge] all souls to trust in the unfathomable abyss of My mercy, because I want to save them all. (Diary 1182). Encourage souls to place great trust in My fathomless mercy. Let the weak, sinful soul have no fear to approach Me, for even if it had more sins than there are grains of sand in the world, all would be drowned in the immeasurable depths of My mercy.” (Diary 1059)

The Sunday after Easter is Divine Mercy Sunday. On that day, The Lord opens wide the gates of His mercy and makes our soul like it was at baptism. If we go to confession during Lent, and receive Holy Communion, on the feast of mercy, our sins will be forgiven and all the punishment due to our sins are forgiven. We should look forward to that day, when all is washed away in the ocean of God’s mercy.

How beautiful at Holy Trinity we pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy before or after every Mass along with the Holy Rosary. It must be very pleasing to God, we are praying for mercy for the whole world.

During this year of the Eucharist, let the light, love and power of Jesus in the Eucharist shine forth from His beating Heart by you spending time in Eucharistic Adoration, offering your Holy Hour for an end to abortion, to close Planned Parenthood and the abortion clinic in Wichita. To offer the graces you receive in Holy Communion. Jesus wants to use you as channel of grace and love to change the hearts and minds of those who are confused and hurting. Will you offer your Holy Communion today for that purpose? To offer the graces you receive by being present at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass? Will you pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy often.

Let us turn to the Blessed Virgin Mary, who miraculously conceived Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit and ask our heavenly Mother, Our Lady of Guadalupe, to intercede for our country so government legislators and judges will outlaw abortion, and every American will have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And most especially the right to life, for without life, we cannot have liberty, nor pursue happiness.

2nd Sunday - Wedding Feast of Cana

 

A few years ago, I witnessed at a wedding at Sacred Heart in Halstead. While giving the homily, the people began to chuckle for some unknown reason. My homily wasn’t funny. I was explaining the sacrificial meaning of love within marriage. But, the people were pointing towards me and laughing. I finally stopped in the middle of the homily and smiling at the crowd said, “Why are you laughing?”. The people pointed to a bird that was directly behind me. It had flown in the church and had landed on the electric light candelabra. I opened the nearest door and the bird immediately flew out. The people were in awe and so was I. I looked at the bride and groom and said, “I guess the Lord wanted to send you a love bird.” The young couple had their first crisis and they hadn’t even exchanged their vows, but the Lord took care of it. I suspect the couple was originally embarrassed, but the situation had a good conclusion and they were happy how it turned out.

In today’s Gospel, it must have been a big embarrassment in Cana when the wedding party ran out of wine. When we consider that at that time a wedding celebration lasted not just for a day like our celebrations but for a whole week the embarrassment would be even more acute. Because the wedding celebration was so long it is no wonder Jesus changed 180 gallons of water into wine. The bad situation became rectified when Mary turned to Jesus and said, “They have no wine.” Our Lord graciously complies with Mary’s request and changes water into wine working His first public miracle. Mary’s intercession helped the couple in their first marital crisis, even when they didn’t ask for it.

St. Alphonsus Ligorui said, “Mary, even when living in this world, showed at the marriage feast of Cana the great compassion that She would afterwards (in heaven) exercise toward us in our necessities. Even now it compels Her to have pity on us and assist us, even before we ask Her to do so. This good Mother’s compassion is so great, and the love She bears us is so great, that She doesn’t even wait for our prayers before she comes to assist us. Richard of Saint Victor remarks that her love for us is so tender, that in our needs she anticipates our prayers, and her mercy is more prompt to help us even before we ask her aid: “The Heart of Mary is so filled with compassion for poor sinners, She no sooner sees our miseries than She pours her tender mercies upon us. If Mary, (who no one asked), is so prompt to help the needy, how much more so will she be to help those who call upon Her and ask for Her help?”

Jesus worked His first miracle in the context of a wedding. On the first day of their wedding, the couple had their first crisis, they ran out of wine for the guests. This is a reminder that marriage will always have its difficulties. Our Lord’s presence at the wedding feast at Cana caused marriage to be elevated to a sacrament to help couples persevere through every difficulty. Its unrealistic to think there won’t be problems in a marriage. We should even expect problems and difficulties, but just as Jesus was there for the young couple at Cana, Jesus is there to help every couple in their marriage.

Don’t be afraid of difficulties within marriage, you will always have them, but its what you do--- when you have them that matters. To persevere through them. To know Jesus and Mary are there to help you, and Our Lord gives special sacramental graces to overcome them. Marriage brings about the sanctification of each person, which will help each other to get to heaven.

In fact, He can and will work a miracle for you within your marriage. He wants us to remember, He is God and can do anything, and will abundantly help you and do it an extravagant way.

Dear married couples, include Jesus and Mary in your marriage, so they will able to play a role in it. Daily pray the Rosary together (especially mediating on the wedding feast of Cana), which will give you hope and you will see an abundant of graces flow. If you have some difficulty or problem how quick would Jesus and Mary come to the aid of a couple, if you knelt down together in prayer.

How beautiful it is, the Virgin Mary loves you and intercedes for you, even though you do not ask Her, but how much more will She intercede for those who do ask Her. All of us single, married, priests should turn to Mary often asking for Her intercession.

In conclusion, the “Hail Holy Queen”, and also the “Memorare” are beautiful prayers we can use to ask Mary to intercede before God.

As we pray these prayers let us try to consciously pay attention to what we are praying.

Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then, O most gracious advocate, your eyes of mercy towards us, and after this exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, pray for us O holy Mother of God, that we may be worthy of the promises of Christ.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

Woman Throws Live Baby into Dumpster

Warning- Video is Difficult to Watch

It's against the law to abandon a baby immediately after birth and to attempt to kill the child by throwing it in a dumpster. But its not against the law-- just before birth for an abortionist to kill the baby within her womb and then once the dead baby is removed, surgically cut out the baby's body parts and sell them for experiments to create medicine and the remains of the body is run through a garbage disposal.

Dog Keeps Abandoned Newborn Alive Alongside Her Own Litter Of Puppies

 On a late December night, someone in Chhattisgarh, India, abandoned their newborn baby, so young the umbilical cord was still attached. With no clothing or nutrition, the little girl’s chances of survival were very slim. Fortunately, a local stray dog had just given birth to a litter of puppies. The dog found the baby naked in a field and brought her over to the place where her puppies rested. Nestled alongside the group of dogs, the fragile baby stayed warm enough to endure cold overnight temperatures.
