Homily #100908s ( 14min) Play – today on the feast of the Birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary we have our annual professions where our novices make first profession and those in temporary vows renew theirs. Fr. Angelo relates this generous sacrifice of their lives (to the service of God) to the calling mentioned by Paul in the first reading and the calling of Mary and Joseph to the exulted role of heading the Holy Family that is related in the Gospel. He also relates this to the sacrifices of St Maximilian (one of the patrons of our order) who pursued heroic efforts to spread the faith and how difficulties when conformed to Christ becomes effective to the conversion of others.

Homily #100703s ( 16min) Play – We have sight with our eyes and we have sight with the eyes of our mind. St. Thomas is much like us, he wanted to believe in our Lord but refused to, until he saw with his own eyes. We are blessed because we believe and have not seen. We see with our bodily eyes bread and wine but by faith we see the Body and Blood of our Lord.

Homily #091224s ( 13min) Play – Grace comes in the silence of the night. It is not that there was no room in the Inn, it’s that there was no room in the heart of man. See how God comes to us in so humble a manner, in quite while man sleeps. To night we find in the Liturgy that the Church puts us in the shoes of the shepherds, let us remain there and adore in silence.

Homily #091215s ( 06min) Play
Pope St. Pius X
“Reflecting on the incredible devotion of Saint Francis for the most blessed Mother of God, we desire to remind the sons of so great a Father of this passage of Thomas of Celano: To her he paid special praises, poured out prayers, offered his affection, in such number and kind that tongue of man cannot recount. But what is cause for joy, he made her Advocate of his Order, and for their growth and protection placed the sons he was about to leave under her wings.”
From a letter of Pope Pius X. Motu proprio Ob singularem, September 8, 1910. – deaconjohn1987.blogspot.com
