Faith, Hope, and Love
Thursday, November 19th, 2009Ave Maria Meditations Faith, Hope, and Charity
“And now there remain faith, hope, and charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity.” (1 Cor. 13: 13). For St. Paul life was Christ, a life of faith in the Son of God. Death was gain, a passing in joyful hope from this earthly habitation to the blessedness of Heaven. Both in life and death he belonged to God and was motivated solely by love of God and neighbor. Faith, hope and charity were the source of his unparalleled zeal for souls. These theological virtues, poured into the soul by the Holy Spirit, practiced heroically by ones generous response, and ordered to union with God, are the foundation for any authentic and fruitful missionary zeal. |

A Prayer for Priests
Friday, June 26th, 2009One 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.

Watch and Pray…that you may not enter into temptation…
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009Ave Maria Meditations
Could you not watch one hour with Me? (Mt. 14:34) The need for prayer in order to follow the Lord closely: Jesus looks at us with a gaze of expressive simplicity on that night. He looks into souls and hearts in the revealing light of Divine Wisdom. The spectacle of all men’s sins, of the sins of his brothers, files past before his eyes. He sees the deplorable opposition of so many who scorn the happiness he offers them, the uselessness of the generous sacrifice He will offer in vain for so many more. He feels great loneliness and moral pain because of this defiance and lack of response to such an outpouring of Divine love. Three times he looks for those three disciples of his to accompany him in prayer: “Watch with me, be at my side, do not leave me alone”, he has asked them. And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer him. Perhaps in that state of tremendous helplessness He seeks a little company, a little human warmth. But his friends abandoned the Friend … That was a night when they should have stayed awake, to have prayed. And they slept. They still did not love enough, and allowing themselves to be beaten by weakness and sadness, they left Jesus alone. In them the Lord found no support; they had been chosen for this and they had let him down … (more…) |
Prayer Knocks, Fasting Obtains, Mercy Receives
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009Ave Maria Mediations
Prayer, Fasting and Mercy by St. Peter Chrysologus There are three things, my brethren, by which faith stands firm, devotion remains constant, and virtue endures. They are prayer, fasting and mercy. Prayer knocks at the door, fasting obtains, mercy receives. Prayer, mercy and fasting: these three are one, and they give life to each other. Fasting is the soul of prayer, mercy is the lifeblood of fasting. Let no one try to separate them; they cannot be separated. If you have only one of them or not all together, you have nothing. So if you pray, fast; if you fast, show mercy; if you want your petition to be heard, hear the petition of others. If you do not close your ear to others you open God’s ear to yourself. (more…) |
