Conferences #106 – Deacon Jack – miracles from Newman (44min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Witness Lecture for the Newman-Scotus Symposium is given by Deacon Jack Sullivan: A Personal Account of the Experience of a Miracle

He talks about Redemptive Suffering of Newman. There is much suffering in life but if we accept with trust in God, that he has our best interest in mind, then we will grow in grace. This is the “kindly light” of truth that Newman always followed in the “gathering gloom”. He relates this to his own suffering that led him to pray for the intercession of venerable Newman. One day he woke with excruciating pain in his legs which turned out to be a sever restriction in his spinal cord by the physical deformation of his vertebra and disks. His Doctor said it was the worst case he had seen in seventeen years as a back specialist. Listen to Jack as he describes how one simple prayer to John Newman was able to cure him first temporarily and then permanently as he prayed a second time. He also relates other miracles that have occurred with Newman’s intercession.

Ave Maria!

Homily #100905 ( 35 min) Play – In today’s Gospel Our Lord tells us that we must love Him above all things and be well prepared in our engagement with the world. He tells us this in the form of two parables, the building of the tower and the king who contemplates going into battle. Fr. Bonaventure explains this in the context of Catholic action, where our preparation consists in building up our love of, and trust in, God who has forces vastly stronger than the enemy and that action starts with prayer and contemplation and only secondarily with physical action. Father also outlines the many ways that we are in true, open and explicit battle with the modern culture and philosophy, always relating it back to its spiritual nature.

One Minute Meditations

Pope Benedict XVI writes that “precisely because Mary is with God and in God, she is very close to each one of us. While she lived on this earth she could only be close to a few people. Being in God, who is actually ‘within’ all of us, Mary shares in this closeness of God.” Our Lady “knows our hearts, can hear our prayers, can help us with her motherly kindness. She always lis­tens to us and, being Mother of the Son, participates in the power of the Son and in His goodness. We can always entrust the whole of our lives to this Mother.”
