Homily #100127 ( 09min) Play – St Bernard of Clairvaux preached the second crusade. But, despite the fact that he was able to perform many miracles to confirm that this was the will of God, the crusade failed resulting in the loss of many Christian soldiers and a setback for Christian control of the Holy Land.

Homily #091115 ( 10min) Play – Fr. Ignatius explains the parable in today’s Gospel of how the Kingdom of God is like a muster seed that grows into into the largest of bushes. This miracle of growth from the tiniest of seeds occurred by the action of God in the form of miracles and also by the action of men in the witness they gave by practicing their faith to a heroic degree. God is still performing miracles. Are we doing our part?
Ave Maria!

Padre Pio’s Prayer After Holy Communion
Stay with me, Lord, for it is necessary to have You present so that I do not forget You;
You know how easily I abandon You.
Stay with me, Lord, because I am weak and I need Your strength,
that I may not fall so often.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my life and without You I am without fervor.
Stay with me, Lord, for You are my light and without You I am in darkness.
Stay with me, Lord, to show me Your will.
Stay with me, Lord, so that I hear Your voice and follow You.
Stay with me, Lord, for I desire to love You very much and alway be in Your company.
Stay with me, Lord, if You wish me to be faithful to You.
