The post “Perfect Love Casts Out Fear” – Jan 09 – Homily – Fr Matthias first appeared on AirMaria.com.

Fr Ignatius gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Dec 30, 2020, on how having more money, and especially an attachment to it, is not such a blessing after all, which is clear from what Jesus, the King of the Universe, chose as a dwelling which is more humble than what a billionaire would. He also used the example of Anna the prophetess, St John the Apostle, and St. Augustine.

The post Do Not Love the World – Dec 30 – Homily – Fr Ignatius first appeared on AirMaria.com.

Fr Ignatius gives the homily at Bloomington, IN on Jan 04, 2021, on how doing what pleases God is the best way to have our prayers answered. He mentions that St Ignatius of Loyola said that we should work as if everything depends on us and pray as if everything depends on God. St Elizabeth Ann Seton, today’s saint, says pray without ceasing. Jesus said “For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me” John 6:38

The post Doing What Pleases God – Jan 04 – Homily – Fr Ignatius first appeared on AirMaria.com.

O glorious Apostle, who, on account of thy virginal purity, wast so beloved by Jesus as to deserve to lay thy head upon His divine breast, and to be left, in His place, as son to His most holy Mother: I beg thee to inflame me with a most ardent love toward Jesus and Mary. Obtain for me from our Lord that I, too, with a heart purified from earthly afflictions, may be made worthy to be ever united to Jesus as a faithful disciple, and to Mary as a devoted child, both here on earth and eternally in heaven. Amen
