Homily #101101 ( 12min) Play – Fr. Dominic preaches on the need to desire sanctity in order to get to heaven and this is why we honor all the saints on this Solemnity of All Saints, to spur our desire. This desire must extend beyond our first fervor of a moment of conversion, and be fostered until the day we depart from this life. We must have purity of heart to achieve peace with God and peace among men in the likeness of Mary Immaculate. To get this long-lasting desire we must pray for it.

Year of the Priest: a prayer

Sunday, July 12th, 2009
One Minute Meditation
Prayer for Holy Vocations to the Priesthood

Almighty God and Father:

We prayerfully ask You to give Your Church holy priests: men of charity, goodness and prayer, good shepherds like Your son, Jesus. Through the prompting of Your grace may they always realize that they are your chosen ones, called by name.

Comfort them more dearly when they are discouraged, lonely or greatly beset by the temptations of the evil one. Help them in their troubles to now that they are Your holy anointed ones, that with You they can do all things.

We ask these favors for Your priests in the world, through Your Son, Jesus Christ, the first and eternal priests. Amen.

A Prayer for Priests

Friday, June 26th, 2009

One Minute Meditation

A PRAYER FOR PRIESTS

By John J Cardinal Carberry

Keep them; I pray Thee, dearest Lord.

Keep them, for they are Thine

The priests whose lives burn out before

Thy consecrated shrine.

Keep them, for they are in the world,

Though from the world apart.

When earthly pleasures tempt, allure –

Shelter them in Thy heart.

Keep them and comfort them in hours

Of loneliness and pain,

When all their life of sacrifice

For souls seems but in vain.

Keep them and  remember, Lord,

they have no one but Thee.

Yet, they have only human hearts,

With human frailty.

Keep them as spotless as the Host,

That daily they caress;

Their every thought and word and deed,

Deign, dearest Lord, to bless.

————————————————-

Remember…

If the priest is a saint, his people will be holy.

If the priest is holy, his people will be good.

If the priest is good, his people will be fair.

If the priest is fair, his people will be mediocre.

If the priest is mediocre, his people will be bad.

-Anon.

Dominus Est

Sunday, June 14th, 2009
Ave Maria Meditations

There, where my dear Jesus dwells,

where He is enthroned in the tabernacle,

there I wish to be kneeling continually.

There, I wish to pray unceasingly:

Jesus, I love You deeply.

Hidden Love, I adore You.

Abandoned Love, I adore You.

Despised Love, I adore You.

Love trampled underfoot, I adore You.

Infinite Love, dying on the Cross for us, I adore You.

My dear Lord and Savior,

make it be that I am all love and expiation

toward the Most Blessed Sacrament

in the heart of Your most loving Mother Mary.

Amen.


-by Maria Stang

(a woman who persevered in her faith under the cruel

Communist atheistic rule for many years and who taught and

brought the faith to many,

keeping the love of the Lord in the most Blessed Sacrament alive)

-the Most Reverend Athanasius Schneider: Dominus Est

FEAST OF THE DIVINE MERCY

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

“BE MERCIFUL EVEN AS YOUR FATHER IS MERCIFUL”

(Lk 6:36)

The Feast of the Divine Mercy is the Sunday after Easter

DM chaplet

“Jesus Christ taught that man not only receives and experiences the mercy of God, but that he is also called ‘to practice mercy’ towards others. ‘Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy’ (Mt 5:7). The Church sees in these words a call to action, and she tries to practice mercy …. Man attains to the merciful love of God, His mercy, to the extent that he himself is interiorly transformed in the spirit of that love towards his neighbor.”

(John Paul II, Rich in Mercy, 14)

The Church teaches us to be merciful in various ways:

Bl. Mother Teresa speaks on Abortion

Monday, February 16th, 2009

Ave Maria Meditations

Mother Teresa

A Lesson from Blessed Teresa of Calcutta on Abortion

“America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father’s role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts — a child — as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters” (more…)
