Ave Maria Meditations

(artwork by Michael O’Brien)

My parish is named in honor of St. Joseph!

And this is the novena prayer we are praying in this year of 2009:

NOVENA PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH:

O glorious Saint Joseph, you were chosen by God

to be the foster father of Jesus,

to be the most pure spouse of the Virgin Mary,

and to be the head of the Holy Family.

You also have been chosen by Christ’s Vicar

to be the Patron and Protector of the Church.

For all of us at Saint Joseph,

you are the special guardian of our Catholic family -our church and school-

which bears your name and rejoices in your patronage.

During this novena in honor of you,

we pray to you with all the angels and saints,

and we pray with all our parishioners

who have gone before us into eternal life.

Intercede for us

that we may continue to be faithful to the lord Jesus

through His Holy Catholic Church.

Be our father in faith, our protector and our guide.

Increase our generosity, deepen our faith,

and guide us in all that we do.

Obtain for us purity of heart

and a deep love for a life of prayer and service.

After your example,

let all our actions be directed to the greater glory of God, in union with the Divine Mercy of Jesus,

and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

O glorious Saint Joseph,

be with us In our joys and in our trials.

May your prayers help us to grow in holiness and truth.

As Catholics, help us to witness our faith with courage that we may rejoice with you in the crown of victory,

and be welcomed into eternal life at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Conferences #88 -Abp. Burke preaches at the Mass for the Coredemption Conference ( 33min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Here are some highlights from the Mass at our Symposium “Mother of the Church” on Marian Coredemption in the National Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, La Crosse, Wisconsin on August 21, 2010, including the homily by Abp. Raymond Burke, the founder of the shrine and Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura. Abp. Burke connects the heroic holiness of Pope St Pius X with the motherly protection of Our Lady. She inspired him and so he became like her and was able to love Jesus as she did and become a Good Shepherd in the footsteps of Jesus and his vicar, St. Peter.

Drew Mariani of Relevant Radio was MC of the symposium.

Video – Conferences #93: Scotus Newman Symp. Intro Fr. McCurry

apostolate — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 16:16:37 +0000

Conferences #93 – Fr James McCurry opens the Newman-Scotus Symposium ( 11min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Fr James McCurry gives an inspirational welcome and introduction to the Newman-Scotus Symposium at the Washington Theological Union on Oct 22, 2010. He reads a warm letter of encouragement from Friar Marco Tasca, OFM Conv., the Minster General of the Conventual Franciscans from Rome, asking the participants to energetically uncover, for all the world to see, the common intellectual treasure that these two holy and eminent British scholars share, centered on the Absolute Primacy of Christ and the primacy of Love. He reflects on the Pope’s words at the very recent beatification of Newman in Birmingham, England where he mentions Newman’s motto “Cor ad Cor Loquitor“, “Heart speaks unto Heart” where God and man speak heart to heart. Fr. McCurry mentions the equivalent starting point for Scotus’ theology where “God wills to love. God wills to be loved. God willed to have co-lovers of himself” and so he created the world and man with the goal of the incarnation via Mary Immaculate. He ends by reciting a prayer to Our Lady written by Bl. John Cardinal Newman to give us protection and the purity of heart and mind to be good and wise Christians.

Ave Maria!
