Homily #131128n ( 09min) Play – Fr. Angelo explains that our giving thanks really needs to be authentic gratitude which we owe by justice. We repay our debts to God by worship, to our parents by honor and respect, and to our nation by patriotism. And patriotism isn’t warm and fuzzy optimism, but a true loyalty to our nation which looks first to God and doesn’t neglect the weak and neglected. Let us all celebrate Thanksgiving Day by thanking God and by pledging to be the citizens He wants us to be.
Ave Maria!

The post An Encounter With Jesus – May 28 – Homily – Fr Terrance first appeared on AirMaria.com.

We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever known.

But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and  we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these things were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.

Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.
