Homily #100425 ( 22min) Play - Today is Good Shepherd Sunday, the forth Sunday in Easter where the readings refer to Jesus as the Good Shepherd, specifically how he leads His sheep to eternal life. It is also the Church-wide prayer day for vocations to the priesthood. Fr. Angelo preaches on the need for good shepherds, especially in the face of Church scandals and in the face of a society that is in a state of moral decay which is leading so many to eternal death.
Jesus said:
“My sheep hear my voice;
I know them, and they follow me.
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.
No one can take them out of my hand.
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all,
and no one can take them out of the Father’s hand.
The Father and I are one.”

Marycast #124 ( 12min) Play – Dr. Mark Miravalle underscores the importance of defending life in this culture of death of ours. He points out that covering up mass slaughter of abortion under the veil of our sophisticated, high-tech, medical system does not make it any less barbaric. In fact, our leadership position in the world only makes us all the more culpable.

Homily #091227 ( 24min) Play – Today is the Feast of the The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph and Fr. Bonaventure explains that the family is the core to a culture of life and saving the family from the attacks of the author of death, the Devil, is the central battle of our day. Jesus, Mary and Joseph are the exemplars of family life both in their exulted charity to which we should strive and in regard to the assaults that they survived in the form of Herod’s attempt to destroy them. Let us encourage the entire human family to embrace this ideal of love and courage.

Homily #090411 ( 11min) Play – Tonight we pass from the darkness of doubt to the Light of Faith, just as the disciples of the Lord went from doubt when they witnessed His death and then to belief as they beheld His Resurrected Body. But, better yet, let us see this Light even if we can’t see Him with our fleshly eyes, as Our Lady did while all the other disciples were still in darkness.

Ave Maria Meditations
Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus (En ego, o bone et dulcissime Iesu)
Look down upon me, good and gentle Jesus, while before your face I humbly kneel, and with burning soul pray and beseech you to fix deep in my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope and charity, true contrition for my sins, and a firm purpose of amendment, while I contemplate with great love and tender pity your five wounds, pondering over them within me, calling to mind the words which David, your prophet, said of you, my good Jesus: “They have pierced my hands and my feet; they have numbered all my bones” (Ps 21, 17-18).
