Jul 20 – Homily – Fr Angelo: Three Parables on the Kingdom

apostolate — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 16:11:20 +0000

Homily #080720 ( 22min) Play – Fr. Angelo preaches on the Sunday Mass at the end of our Encampment Weekend for the Knights of Lepanto. The day’s Gospel has three parables of the Kingdom of God, the Field with the Wheat and the Weeds, the Mustard Seed, and the Yeast and the Bread. These parables that are agricultural in their details hark back to the fall which involved good and bad fruit, and so, underscores how salvation comes to us in the same way that the fall happened but in reverse. Listen as Father explains how this refers to our need to battle temptations in our life, to uphold family life and how this fits with the role of the Knights of Lepanto.

I Have Loved You With An Everlasting Love

Sr. JosephMary f.t.i. — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 17:00:04 +0000

Ave Maria Meditations

Dearest Jesus: You loved me from all eternity, therefore you created me.

You loved me after You created me, therefore You became Man for me.

You loved me after You became man for me, therefore you lived and died for me.

You loved me after You had died for me therefore You went to prepare a place for me.

You loved me after You had prepared a place for me, therefore You came back to me.

You loved me after You came back to me, therefore you desired to enter into me and be united to me.

This is the meaning of the most Blessed Sacrament : The Mystery of His Love.

(Archbishop Goodier)

…I wish you would be there. We could maybe have adoration everyday and so bring and weave our lives with the Bread of Life. No greater love not even God could give than in giving Himself as Bread of life-to be broken, to be eaten so that you and I may eat and live-may eat and so satisfy our hunger for love. And He seemed yet not satisfied for He too was hungry for love. So He made Himself the hungry One, the Thirsty One, the Naked One, the Homeless [One] and kept on calling: I was hungry, naked, homeless. You did it to Me…The Bread of life and the Hungry One-but one love–only Jesus. His humility is so wonderful. I can understand His majesty, His greatness because He is God, but His humility is beyond my understanding, because He makes Himself Bread of Life so that even a child as small as I can eat Him and live. The greatness of [the] humility of God! Really no greater love-no greater love than the love of Christ.

(from a letter of Mother Teresa to a priest)

May 06 – Homily – Fr Angelo: The Bread of Life

apostolate — Fri, 06 May 2011 15:59:19 +0000

Homily #110506 ( 08min) Play – In today’s Gospel Our Lord multiplies the fish and the loaves to feed five thousand. Fr. Angelo preaches on how this great miracle foreshadows the even greater miracle of the Eucharist and moral miracles like conversion to the faith. However, few understand the importance of these less spectacular miracles. This was true even for those who first heard of the Eucharist when Our Lord described himself as the true bread in John 6 and many of his disciples walked away from Him. Blessed is he who believes even when he can’t see.
