Feb 07 – Homily – Fr Angelo: Good Intentions

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

Homily #100207 ( 14min) Play – In today’s Gospel we see St. Peter being Peter, that is, he has the best of intentions and yet is very imperfect in carrying them out.  He wants to obey when Our Lord asks him to set out for the deep in his boat, and does, but he complains first, only to see how unworthy he is when Our Lord manifests his holiness with the miracle of the great catch of fish. Fr Angelo compares this to the first reading of Isaiah where Isaiah sees the holiness of God and knows he is unworthy to be His messenger and the need for God’s gift of sanctification to be made worthy.
Ave Maria! Mass readings
1: Isa 6:1-2,3-8
R: Ps 138:1-5,7-8

My God, if You exist, make Your existance known to me!

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

 

A cry from the heart: My God, if You exist, make Your existance known to me!

from Bl. Charles de Foucauld before his conversion

CdF

As soon as I believed there was a God, I understood I could do nothing else but live for him, my religious vocation dates from the same moment as my faith: God is so great. There is such a difference between God and everything that is not.

The Cross of Perfection

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

Ave Maria Meditations

?

St. Peter of Alcantara was a priest well acquainted with suffering. He took upon himself many penances. His Feast day is Oct. 22nd and he is a model for the acceptance of sufferings.

?

A person’s daily sufferings, borne in either patient resignation or joy, and joined to the Holy Cross of Our Lord is a mark of eternal glory. To reject sufferings, sacrifices, humiliations, and mortifications in this life is to walk the broad and easy way that leads to destruction (Matt 7:13-14). Our Lord himself clearly stated that we are to deny our desires, take up our cross daily and follow Him (Mark 8:34-36). Our Lord is calling us out of our selfish self-centered lives and into “the works (Will) of Him Who sent Me.” (John 9:4).
