With each passing year the unfolding of the Resurrection Gospel of Emmaus becomes more luminous, more transparent like the favorite page in an old book, the page that with each reading delights one anew. The repetition and ritual recurrence of the Word shapes and reshapes the Church, making her ever more perfectly Christ’s beloved Bride, the Companion of the New Adam, born from His pierced side. You recall that it was this very page of the Gospel that was given us by the Servant of God, Pope John Paul II as the heart of his message for the Year of the Eucharist. He presented the mystery of Emmaus as a kind of Eucharistic icon.

Ave Maria Meditations
+
a meditation on THE FIRST GLORIOUS MYSTERY:
THE RESURRECTION
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive honor, glory and praise!” (Rev 5:12)
Meditation:
The Glory of Faith: “Faith is the confident assurance concerning what we hope for, and conviction about things we do not see.” (Heb 11: 1)
The glorious resurrection of Our Lord continues in the glory of this most Blessed Sacrament BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE OUR RISEN SAVIOR DWELLS, pouring out His life, His light, and His love to all who come into His presence. If our faith in the Eucharist is weak, then we simply pray “Lord, I do believe, help my unbelief.”

If we have at length interpreted the connection between Supper and Cross, we have in fact all the time been speaking also of the Resurrection. Not only are Supper and Cross inseparable: Supper, Cross and Resurrection form the one indivisible Paschal Mystery. The theology of the Cross is the Resurrection; therefore the Resurrection is the divine response and the divine interpretation of the Cross. The theology of the Cross is a paschal theology, a theology of joyous victory even in this valley of tears.

Homily #080705 ( 11min) Play – At this funeral Mass for Thom and Marc Girard at St. Mary’s Church in Baltic we learn of the power of faith in the resurrection to give hope in the face of such loss. Thom was faithful to God and family, truly living his vocation as Father, husband and Knight of Lepanto and imbued this faith to his family. Marc, Thom’s eldest son, received from this faith the desire to give himself to God as a Knight of Lepanto and as a friar here in the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, planning on entering this August. Through this faith he had the strength to try to save his Father and his family had the strength to endure this tragedy with calm and hopeful joy. Fr. Angelo reads part of the Knights of Lepanto induction ceremony which Thom wrote (really a first draft) knowing that his son Marc will be the first to go through the new ceremony last May at the Knight’s Encampment. Farewell, good knights. Farewell, good friends.
Ave Maria!

Homily #080329 ( 07min) Play – Tradition holds, and the Church teaches, that Our Lord first appeared to His Mother after His Resurrection. So when the Gospel writers say that our Lord first appeared to Mary Magdalen, this does not exclude the possibility that he appeared to His Mother before this.
