Ave Maria!

Master Sargent Mike Cutone gives his conference on Catholic Leadership going through the acronym L.E.A.D.E.R.S.H.I.P. as he has outlined in his book. In this segment he is on “S” for “Sacrifice”. Prepare yourself to sacrifice as a leader by being obedience to God’s will and His commandments, going to Holy Mass, going to Confession, and by spending time in prayer. Jesus gives us an example of sacrifice by offering His life on the cross for the salvation of men.

Ave Maria!

Homily #100908s ( 14min) Play – today on the feast of the Birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary we have our annual professions where our novices make first profession and those in temporary vows renew theirs. Fr. Angelo relates this generous sacrifice of their lives (to the service of God) to the calling mentioned by Paul in the first reading and the calling of Mary and Joseph to the exulted role of heading the Holy Family that is related in the Gospel. He also relates this to the sacrifices of St Maximilian (one of the patrons of our order) who pursued heroic efforts to spread the faith and how difficulties when conformed to Christ becomes effective to the conversion of others.

In honor of the Month of the Precious Blood

Then therefore [Pontius Pilate] delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him forth. And bearing his own cross, he went forth to that place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew Golgotha.

Homily #100414 ( 11min) Play – Fr. Ignatius starting from the example of St. Justin the Martyr, who testified to his faith by the sacrifice of his life, shows that faith has more surety than pure reason.
