Saint Joseph had no reason to doubt Mary’s purity, but neither could he doubt her pregnancy. But when the angel came, he was able to understand the meaning of this sign: that Her Son was God. The Father of the Church tell us that if a virgin bore, it would be God; and if God were to become man, His mother would be a virgin. This sign shows God’s plan, His descent into our humanity, and His ultimate victory. We are called to participate both in the Joy of Bethlehem and the suffering of Calvary, in imitation of Mary’s total commitment to God’s will. Let us wait with Saint Joseph under this great sign of the Virgin Mother. Let us keep our eyes on this great sign, “deep as the netherworld” and “high as the sky”. It is still dark, but the Morning Star is with us, and day is coming soon.

Ave Maria!

The post Annunciation: God Takes Away Nothing – Apr 09 – Homily – Fr Matthias first appeared on AirMaria.com.

The Lord will silently plan for thee,
Thou object of omniscient care;
God undertakes Himself to be
Thy Pilot through each subtle snare.

The Lord will silently plan for thee,
So certainly, He cannot fail!
Rest on the faithfulness of God,
In Him thou surely shalt prevail.

The Lord will silently plan for thee
Some wonderful surprise of love.
Eye hath not seen, nor ear hath heard,
But it is kept for thee to prove.

The Lord will silently plan for thee,
His purpose He’ll to thee unfold;
The tangled skein shall shine at last,
A masterpiece of skill untold.

The Lord will silently plan for thee,
A happy child kept in His care
As though no other claimed His love,
But thou alone to Him wert dear.

+Emily May Grimes

Fr Terrance gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Jun 24, 2020, on the solemnity of the Birth of St. John the Baptist, reflecting on the role of the Baptists’ and his message of moral repentance, but whose greatness was truly seen when he pointed to Jesus the Messiah and said “He must increase and I must decrease”, pointing to the surest way of sanctification, which is humility in Christ.

The post Plans of God are Unfolding – Sep 20 – Homily – Fr Ignatius first appeared on AirMaria.com.

Fr John Lawrence gives the homily at Bloomington, IN, on Apr 05, 2023, on the value of suffering and how it is an essential aspect of Christ’s mission in God’s plan. Jesus serves His Father and gains merit for us all by sacrificing himself, even though His death seems to be counterproductive to his mission. Judas also serves God’s plan but unknowingly and without merit, as he betrays his Master. Jesus is persecuted and suffers not because he is wicked but because he is righteous, but his afflictions prepare and inspire us to look past our relatively short afflictions and toward eternal glory beyond all comparison.
