Lyrics–The Shepherd’s Farewell (English):

Thou must leave thy lowly dwelling,
The humble crib, the stable bare.
Babe, all mortal babes excelling,
Content our earthly lot to share.
Loving father, Loving mother,
Shelter thee with tender care!

Blessed Jesus, we implore thee
With humble love and holy fear.
In the land that lies before thee,
Forget not us who linger here!
May the shepherd’s lowly calling,
Ever to thy heart be dear!

Blest are ye beyond all measure,
Thou happy father, mother mild!
Guard ye well your heav’nly treasure,
The Prince of Peace, The Holy Child!
God go with you, God protect you,
Guide you safely through the wild!

In the homily for the memorial of St. Ignatius of Loyola (Jul 31), Fr Matthias speaks on the saint’s three categories of people. According to the holy founder of the Society of Jesus (aka, Jesuits), there are some who love their attachments to the exclusion of God; some who try to love both their attachments and God; and some who reserve all their love for God alone.

In which category do you fall?

Ave Maria!

Mass: St. Ignatius of Loyola – Mem

On New Year’s Eve (Dec 31, 2019, Seventh Day in the Octave of Christmas ), Fr. Andre offers a New Year’s spiritual orientation based on the readings of today’s liturgy. Contrasting the first reading with its end-times, antichrist commentary to the Christocentric message of the Gospel, Father recommends meditating on the Good News of Jesus Christ, “God-with-us,” born of the Virgin Mary, while avoiding the satanically-inspired flood of bad news propagated through mainstream and social media.

Participating in the Life that came into the world (cf Jn 1), Father recommends we begin the New Year seeking to align ourselves with the Divine Will, praying for those who will begin the new year by reveling in sin. In particular, we should become intercessors and co-redeemers with Mary, through Rosary prayer and Eucharistic Adoration.

Ave Maria!

Mass: 7th Day in Octave of Christmas – Wkdy

Readings: 
1st: 1 Jn 2:18-21
Resp: Ps 96:1-2, 11-12, 13
