On the memorial of Sts. Nicolas Tavelic and Companions, Martyrs (Nov 14), Fr. Matthias gives the homily on how we are called to share the Gospel of salvation in Christ even with the Muslims in our multicultural society.

It is hard to pretend that Islam is a religion of peace; the fear of a violent reprisal for pointing out contradictions between this politically correct claim and the widespread Islamic persecution of Christians makes it even worse. However, we too were once hateful and hating one another, until we came to know the God of Love, Whom the Muslims likewise are called to know and accept as well (cf Titus 3:3).

Ave Maria!

The life of Serv. of God Illuminatus of Rieti, Confessor, First Order (d. 1266) for the June 24th Franciscan Saint of the Day. He was from Italy and was cured by St Francis of blindness in his youth and later became one of his closest followers and accompanied him on his trip to the Holy Land.

Reflection is on the need to follow the inspirations of God in order to be truly enlightened.

The life of Servant of God Queen Sancia of Naples, Widow, Second Order (c.1286-1345) for the July 6th Franciscan Saint of the Day. Queen Sancia of Naples used her wealth to support the poor and build convents for the Franciscans and to secure rights for pilgrims to go to the Holy Land, asking the Pope to make the Franciscans the custodians there.

Reflection is on how the manner we spend our time and money shows what we love. We must place a high value on the Lord’s presence in the eucharist.
