Oct 25 – Homily – Fr Bonaventure: Jerusalem vs Jericho

Sunday, October 25th, 2009
Click to Play

Homily #091025 ( 20min) Play – Jericho is a city that symbolizes sin while Jerusalem symbolizes virtue. Bartimaeus the blind man of Jericho was cured by our Lord, both physically in his eyes and spirtually in his heart, for he then left the blindness of the sins of Jericho and followed Our Lord into the promised land of the heavenly Jerusalem. Today this spiritual battle is still raging. Let us have the in-sight to turn our backs on sin and darkness, take up our cross, embrace sanctity and purity, and follow Our Lord into His Kingdom of Light.

Thoughts on Pilgrimage

Sunday, September 27th, 2009
Ave Maria Meditations
I ask your prayers as I prepare for a pilgrimage to holy places in Italy
including Siena, Assisi, and Rome.  Ave Maria! SrJMMfti
Prayers for Pilgrims

Pilgrimage is traditionally a journey to a holy place — a place where saints have walked, a place where God has met people and blessed them.

People through the ages have journeyed with God on pilgrimage — to perform a penance, to ask for healing, to pray for places where there is war or national disaster, to pray for friends.

Pilgrimage is an opportunity to travel lightly, to walk free of daily routines, to meet people, to make friends, to enjoy and celebrate God’s creation. An opportunity, too, in the traveling, in the conversations, and in the silences to reflect on the journey of our lives and on our journey homeward to God.

Prayers before setting out on a pilgrimage

God of the guiding star, the bush that blazes
SHOW US YOUR WAY
God of the stormy seas, the Bread that nourishes
TEACH US YOUR TRUTH
God of the still, small voice, the wind that blows where it chooses
FILL US WITH LIFE
God of the elements, of our inward and outward journeys
SET OUR FEET ON YOUR ROAD TODAY.
MAY GOD BLESS US WITH A SAFE JOURNEY
MAY THE ANGELS AND SAINTS TRAVEL WITH US
MAY WE LIVE THIS DAY IN JUSTICE AND JOY. AMEN.

St. Alphonus Liguori

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

Ave Maria Meditations

August 1st: St. Alphonsus Liguori, founder of the Redemptorist Order

SAINT ALPHONSUS LIGUORI Bishop and Doctor of the Church (1696-1787)

An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You are truly in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I long for you in my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart as though You have already come. I embrace You and unite myself entirely to you; never permit me to be separated from You!

I say that it is the will of God that all graces should come to us by the hands of Mary. Sooner would heaven and earth be destroyed than would Mary fail to assist anyone who asks for her help, provided he does so with a good intention and with confidence in her.

To learn more of this good doctor, continue on…

From a Retreat on St. Therese

Thursday, February 12th, 2009
AVE MARIA MEDITATIONS
 
TRUST IN COMPASSIONATE LOVE
 
 

Pere Liagre, CS.Sp. writing in his book “A Retreat with St. Therese” :

 

I propose to take two pages from her book. The more I meditate on these two pages, the more they seem to sum up the whole of Therese’s ascetic doctrine. The first passage, seems to me to be, in plain and simple language, the very expression of St. Paul’s “Whosoever are led by the Spirit of God … ” This is what she says:  “I have always longed to become a Saint…but, alas, 1 have always found that when I compare myself to them, there is the same difference that we see in nature between the mountain peak lost in the clouds, and the tiny grain of sand trodden under the feet of the passers-, by. Far from being discouraged, 1 say to myself: God, would never put unrealizable desires into our heart.”

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.
