apostolate — Sun, 24 May 2009 16:38:53 +0000

Homily #090524 ( 22min) Play – On this Seventh Sunday of Easter, which is the final Mass of the Knights of Lepanto Encampment, Fr. Angelo preaches on how the Apostles are not of this world and so too we should be in the world but not of it and we should be patient with those who sin and even those who sin against us just as Jesus was with Judas.

We celebrated the Ascension of Our Lord at its traditional time last Thursday.

St. Joseph of Cupertino

Sr. JosephMary f.t.i. — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:00:25 +0000

One Minute Mediations

St. Joseph of Cupertino (1603-1663) Feast Day September 18th

St. Joseph was not considered too bright. He knew a great deal of suffering because of this. But his love for God, his love for the Blessed Mother and for holy things was extraordinary. This love was so great that it would often send him into an ecstasy that caused levitation. And it is said that, in spite of all his efforts, he could only manage to memorize a small portion of the Scripture he was required to know. But God has a way of doing things and this was the exact passage he was examined on. He became a most holy priest of God. St. Joseph is a patron for those taking examinations and also for pilots because of his levitations.

Prayers to St. Joseph of Cupertino for Success in Examinations

First Prayer
O Great St. Joseph of Cupertino who while on earth did obtain from God the grace to be asked at your examination only the questions you knew, obtain for me a like favor in the examinations for which I am now preparing. In return I promise to make you known and cause you to be invoked. Through Christ our Lord.

St. Joseph of Cupertino, Pray for us. Amen.

Second Prayer
O St. Joseph of Cupertino who by your prayer obtained from God to be asked at your examination, the only preposition you knew, grant that I may like you succeed in the (here mention the name of examination eg. History) examination. In return I promise to make you known and cause you to be invoked.

O St. Joseph of Cupertino pray for me; O Holy Ghost enlighten me; Our Lady of Good Studies pray for me; Sacred Head of Jesus the Seat of divine wisdom, enlighten me. Amen

Sep 20 – Homily – Fr Angelo: The Messiah Must Suffer

apostolate — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 18:19:55 +0000

Homily #090920 ( 22min) Play – In Mk 9:30-37 the Apostles do not understand when Our Lord says, “The Son of Man is to be handed over to men and they will kill him, and three days after his death the Son of Man will rise.” Fr. explains that this habitual attitude in the Apostles is still the natural human attitude prevailing today. Listen as Father shows how the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of men.

A Day With Mary #21 – St Peter’s Catholic Church ( 19min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

During the pontificate of John Paul II a collection of votive masses in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary were put together and made available especially for use on Saturdays and special occasions . Votive masses are not normally permitted during privileged seasons – The Mass setting we are using is Mary at the foot of Cross. To see the pascal mysteries clearly and to benefit we are best guided by seeing this vision thru the eyes of our Blessed Mother. Blessed John Paul II says that the Rosary is seen through the eyes of Mary. The Stations of the Cross is a Marian devotion, traceable back to the middle ages. The Via Dolorosa was going to the places in Jerusalem and recalling the various events in Our Lord’s life. Eventually they came down to the 14 Stations we have today. After our Lords Ascension, the Blessed Virgin Mary visited the places of Our Lords passion. The apostles weren’t prepared for Good Friday even after our Lord tried to explain it, but they didn’t get it. The Transfiguration was preparation to get ready for His suffering and death; the scandal of the cross. Moses and Elias were talking about His suffering and the Disciples saw him transfigured, but he real miracle was not that He shone with light, it was that He didn’t always shine with light!. In hindsight we shouldn’t make the same mistake but we do. We are in need of the same mercy, we have to go back to school every year and learn the lessons properly. We need to think about lent as preparing ourselves to live and to act in solidarity with Jesus. Not to sleep, but to live and make visual solidarity with Christ. On Holy Thursday we have the opportunity to be with Christ in His passion, in the garden. Our response to his passion is compassion. We find this in Our Lady. The mystery of God suffering. He is Her child, by a miracle worded by the Holy Spirit. He is Her treasure and when the time comes She is prepared. Jesus gives His life and She offers Him as well. She offers Him to the Father. Just as Our Lady’s heart was opened symbolizing the life of the Church, the water and the blood, so Our Lady’s heart was opened with the words “Woman behold your son” . Spiritual Martyrdom. We become members of Gods family and we become her children . So during lent we offer our prayer, fasting, and alms-giving, but all is directed to strengthening our spiritual body with Christ. The scandal of the Corss in our own life is where our cross is at. We all know what it is – we all know were we struggle. Most often our cross is living with one another. persevering thru difficulties. Christ suffered for you as if you were the only one who needed his suffering.

Ave Maria!
