THE MANTLE OF CHARITY
?
PRESENCE OF GOD – 0 Lord, teach me to cover the defects and faults of others with the mantle of charity. ??

MEDITATION

1.?Do not speak against one another, my brethren. He that speaks against a brother … speaks against the law” (Jas.4:11), that is, he contradicts the evangelical law of fraternal charity. To speak evil of our neighbor does not necessarily mean that we spread unjust suspicions about him or accuse him of faults and wrong deeds which he has not committed. It is sufficient to mention needlessly the faults of others, even though they be real and known to all. To do this is to act contrary to charity, because it fixes our own attention and that of others, on the imperfections of the neighbor rather than on his good qualities. As a result, we lessen in ?the mind of the listener the esteem due to our neighbor.

Homily #080718s ( 15min) Play – Fr. Angelo preaches on the opening of the Knights of Lepanto encampment. He focuses on the message of today’s Gospel Reading “I desire mercy, not sacrifice,” that we should be generous toward our neighbor in order to be virtuous and, so, make pleasing sacrifice to God. He then ties this to the virtues of Chivalry and to the example of Thom and Marc Girard, our beloved fellow knights who have passed into eternity.

Homily #080616 ( 08min) Play – In today’s Gospel Our Lord tells us to turn the other cheek when we are struck. Fr. Bonaventure explains that this does not mean that we should be pacifists, doormats, that should compromise everything, even truth, rather than defend ourselves but rather that we should put away the old natural law of vengeance and replace it with patience out of love of neighbor.
